“Luis was an amazing dog sitter! He gave great updates and took amazing care of our dog. I can’t thank him enough for giving us peace of mind while we are gone and taking care of our home at the same time. Will be requesting again! Thank you!”
“Heather was so great with our 5 month old baby girl! She adheres to schedules and directions, and goes above and beyond. We are so grateful for her help, and would absolutely work with her, again!”
“Jaylynne! Omg she was absolutely amazing! My wife and I cannot say enough about how attentive, caring, communicative she was with our dog. She took care of her for over 10 days and our home was immaculate. She took care of our dog and provided photos like she was her own. We will be using her again.”
“Wendy was great at sending pictures and messages through out her stay. This is my first time using Rover and was very happy everything went smoothly. Look forward to having her stay with my girl again”
“I had a great experience with Ashwini while visiting San Diego with my two dogs. She was punctual (even arrived 10 minutes early!), friendly, and very professional. Communication was smooth and clear, and she made me feel completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. Her rate was very reasonable, and she returned the hotel room just as I left it—clean and tidy. Most importantly, my dogs were relaxed and happy when I got back. I would absolutely hire her again if I’m ever in the area. Highly recommended!”
“Dustin was the perfect dog/housesitter! He stayed with our pup while we were away for about a week, and did a great job keeping in contact with beautiful photographs of our dog, as well as taking excellent care of our home. He is a natural with dogs and immediately connected with our dog at their initial meeting. Would definitely recommend Dustin and have him back again next time!!”
“Amy did a lovely job taking care of our 9 year old Redbone Coonhound. She house sat for us and provided daily pics and updates and left the house very tidy. Will be requesting her again! 💓”
About: I’ve put 45 years of experience because I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was a young boy. I’ve always had a dog in my life and have a deep love and care for them. I am at a place where I don’t have a dog of my own yet still enjoy time with them till my next best friend finds their way into my life. In the meantime if you have a loving well behaved pup that you want loved and cared for as you do I could be the right person for you to put that trust into. I live a few blocks from the beach where your pup would be walked multiple times a day. I work short days and your pup would be walked in the morning before I leave and a longer walk in the afternoon. I have a Pet Cam in my living room I’m happy to share while your pup stays with me. I have plenty of referrals that will most likely say I have a sense of a dog whisperer in me. Feel free to reach out with any questions, look forward to hearing from you. As mentioned I work short days and have plenty of availability, reach out and let’s see if we are a good match for your pup. As mentioned I live blocks from the beach. I live in a two bedroom apartment that your pup will be safe and secure in with plenty of walks. Happy to follow any guidelines you have for your pups care. Again I have a Pup Cam in my living room I’m happy to share with you during your pups stay.
“Thank you for taking such good care of my kids! My dog, Charlie, and my cat, Apollo, both were very well taken care of. I received a lot of updates and photos and came home to a clean house with happy animals. I recommend Ryan for taking care of your babies :)”
“Couldn’t recommend Tricia enough! She was very attentive and asked questions during the meet and greet (which a crazy dog dad like me appreciated). She got to the house by the requested time, gave DETAILED updates throughout the day (if you’ve ever booked here before you know that’s not necessarily the norm), tons of pictures, and left the house very clean. I’m usually glued to this app begging for pictures or updates but I didn’t need to with Tricia, I knew he was having a great time and was safe. I honestly feel like Ringo was a little disappointed when we came home instead of her! We are absolutely looking to book Tricia again next time we travel!”
“Shleby cared for our dog and two cats for a week. She took excellent care of them, paying close attention to their needs, and really getting to know them. Our dog was very calm when we returned, though usually has terrible anxiety. Our home was left in perfect shape. Her communication was excellent, before, during, and after. We heard about the pets each day, but not a ton of questions. I hate to be so effusive with praise, because we'd love for her to be available in the future!! But, she's really the best!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Im a compassionate and reliable pet lover with a nursing background and a puppy of my own. Caring for others—whether people or pets—is second nature to me. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. You can count on me to provide attentive, loving care and clear communication every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work three days a week and am available on my off days to provide dedicated, one-on-one care for your pets. My schedule gives me the flexibility to offer quality time and attention when I’m not on shift—perfect for pet sitting, drop-ins, or daytime walks! When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I aim to keep their environment calm and familiar, helping reduce stress while you’re away.
About: I grew up with 8 cats, a chow, and helped raise ridgebacks, chickens, ducks & ponies. I am athletic and love animal pets, walks and hang time! I’m currently in between jobs so I have a lot of availability. I can walk your dog or care for your cat during the day or evenings in the beach area. I can care for your pets in your home or take them for walks in the neighborhood. I’m not currently in a place where I can have my pets overnight.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I can remember. From my own to neighbors and friends. I have experience in all sorts of dogs from small to big with all energy levels! I am currently waiting to start my job in early September and have all hours free. I am a graduate from UC Santa Barbara living in La Jolla I work out love to surf and can work around any schedule. I care for pets by following their regular routine, giving them lots of love and attention, ensuring they’re safe at all times, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I always prioritize their health, and happiness, and trust, whether in my home or the client’s.
“Po was very well taken care by Caroline even with all of his special attention he requires. He was as happy as could be when I got back home and I knew that he was in good hands from the moment I met her. She is a truly wonderful Rover and I recommend her for anybody in need! Will definitely book again.”
“Mariana was amazing! My dogs are normally shy and they warmed up to her right away. She kept us in the loop with updates and pictures and it was clear they had so much fun and were really comfortable with her! She also kept our house clean and was really trustworthy. Thank you!!!”

Not only is she punctual and reliable, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure my dog has the best time on his walks. Stephanie is always so attentive, checking in with updates and photos, which truly shows how much she cares. My dog absolutely loves her, and I can tell by how excited he gets when he sees her! Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog walker!”
Phoenix C.
“Phoenix is a responsible and pet loving person. She cared for our elderly (14 yo) rabbit, who needs to be moved around, special diet, and cleaned up.

I can finally go away and feel confident that our cat can live his live as always, outdoor in the daytime and inside at night. Kirsten was perfect! She posted pictures to our whatsapp channel and when I came back yesterday he wasn't exactly sure what was going on but soon was back to his normal self. I highly recommend Kirsten.
Our dog recently went through a big health scare and is on lots of medication. Roberta stayed in our apartment and administered all meds, kept us updated with pics and videos, and took great care of our home! I felt that Benson was in great hands and am so grateful for her help! Highly recommend her for any pet services!
Dina and Jose are amazing pet sitters. Dina was very communicative and sent great updates and photos daily. She really made me feel confident that everything was under control while we were gone. One of our dogs is usually quite anxious, but he seemed totally comfortable with them and was super relaxed when we got home. The house was clean when we got home. They even washed the sheets and took care of our trash cans so we didn't have to worry about it. I so appreciate them caring for our pets!
Shleby cared for our dog and two cats for a week. She took excellent care of them, paying close attention to their needs, and really getting to know them.

Samantha was amazing🤍 she took over last minute and she sent many pictures and gave us daily updates. She is kind professional and treats your pets as her own. Couldn't have asked for more as she made our trip away more relaxing as I knew my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book her again!! The best sitter I've EVER had and highly recommend!!
Just wanted to share how awesome Daphne was as a sitter! She took such great care of our dog and made sure to take her on lots of walks. We loved getting updates and photos while we were away—it really put our mind at ease. When I got home, the house was super clean, which was such a nice surprise! Seriously, she went above and beyond. Thanks for so much, Daphne! 🐾❤️
Once again, we can't say enough amazing things about Jessica. Our dog needed a little extra TLC after a vet visit right before we went out of town, and Jessica was so understanding. She took such amazing care of both our dogs and left the house absolutely spotless. She even took our dogs to the beach and cleaned them after! Our dogs were SO happy. You are the absolute best Jessica!!
Mallory stayed with our two kitties and she was amazing!! She was very responsive, sent lots of pics of playtime and cuddling, and even walked our cat for us (he's a crazy bengal...don't ask). She took great care of our home and went above and beyond. Definitely would recommend her to watch your babies. Thank you Mallory <3
G is AMAZING- she went above and beyond and kept our pup so entertained and happy! We received many pictures throughout the sitting as well! On top of that she is such a lovey person! We would 10/10 recommend to anyone and will 100% reach out next time we are looking for a sitter for our pup 🥰❤️
Couldn’t recommend Tricia enough! She was very attentive and asked questions during the meet and greet (which a crazy dog dad like me appreciated).

Eliza was extremely professional and friendly. She listened carefully to our instructions for our home and our babies and made us feel comfortable from the get go. She spoiled our pets and I could tell they really became best friends by the time we got home! She was exceptional and reliable with her updates which brought us peace of mind. We will be using her for walks and will use her again if we need a sitter. Definitely recommend!
Denise was amazing! I got so many pictures and updates, she took Milo on a ton of adventures and let him play with some of her friends dogs! She was super communicative and nice and came to meet me and him prior. 1000/10 recommend if you’re like me and get nervous leaving your high energy pup.
