“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!

About: Hi, I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I joined Rover because caring for pets brings me so much joy. I work a corporate job remotely which allows me a great deal of flexibility to care for your pets during my breaks. I can’t currently own a pet of my own due to my apartment’s regulations, so I can’t wait to give your pet all the love and care they deserve instead! My remote job allows for lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I am available for drop ins or walks sometime between 11am-2pm most days- perfect for owners who want to give their pets a break in the middle of the day! I am a direct communicator and will be happy to provide an abundance of updates as I care for your pet. I am also happy to provide playtime or assist with household chores as I care for your pets.
“Dylan was great with Max! He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of Max throughout the day. Max was excited each morning driving to his house. Thank you for watching Mr. Max!”


About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life and even helped my friend with her dog grooming business! I can also help with that, if needed. I’m currently figuring some things out so I figured I would help the community with their friends and make some extra money on the side! I live in a gated apartment building with a fenced patio. I’ve dog sat before in my own neighborhood and never had a negative experience.
About: My wife Iris and I live in a quiet, fenced home in La Jolla near Mount Soledad, and we work from home, so your dog will always have company and supervision. We’ve had dogs our entire lives and have cared for puppies, adults, and senior dogs for many years. Your dog will enjoy peaceful walks, fresh ocean air, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views from our backyard. We also have a very friendly 11-year-old beagle, Justin, who absolutely loves other dogs and can’t wait to make new friends. Our home is safe, calm, and smoke-free, with plenty of indoor comfort and secure outdoor space for play, relaxation, and cuddles. My wife Iris and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re flexible during the week and weekends, and we build our schedule around your dog’s needs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will stay in a calm, quiet, and fully fenced home in La Jolla near Mount Soledad, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with very little traffic. Our home is smoke-free, drug-free, and safe for pets, with secure outdoor areas and comfortable indoor space for relaxing. We supervise all playtime, follow your dog’s routine carefully, and provide constant care and updates. We also have a very friendly senior beagle, Justin, who loves meeting new dog friends and helps visiting dogs feel right at home.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my two dogs daily. I’m very familiar with structured routines, I’m used to long walks — sometimes up to two hours — including playtime and rest breaks as needed, always adapting to the dog’s energy level. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, always adapting to their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing safety and lots of affection. I currently work online and part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog, giving him attention, playtime, and exercise. At home, we usually go to bed early because we have a dog who wakes up very early and starts his day with his routine of going out to relieve himself. I have two friendly dogs who could keep your dog company. I'm also very close to the bay where I usually go with my dogs. I typically take a long walk in the mornings to Fiesta or around the area, depending on how my day is going. And I have several spaces in the house where your dog can rest peacefully after walks.
“Octavia took such great care of our puppy, Bleu. This was our first time ever using this app and leaving him with someone else for care. We felt at ease as Octavia was so sweet and professional. She also sent us pictures periodically throughout the day which was perfect. We would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
“Shrusti was a fantastic and flexible caretaker for our dog, Arya. Our dog wasn’t feeling too well while staying with her, but Shrusti took it all in stride and didn’t once complain about any issues. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a compassionate and friendly person to watch their dog!”

“Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!”


About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.
“Yang came to the rescue! My husband and I were visiting La Jolla for an event over the weekend. He was VERY accommodating to our last minute request for a day care sitter that we needed in a pinch. He came to meet our two fur babies (one being a Newfie and the other being an Aussie-mix), then he scooped them up and took them back to his place for a few hours. Yang was very communicative with us and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend booking with Yang! Looking forward to using him again in the future.”

“Hazel had a great time with Kalie. She's usually nervous with new people but warmed up to Kalie right away and had a fun time staying with her while my family explored San Diego. Would recommend!”

“Jelena takes excellent care of our baby. She is trustworthy, caring, and great with communication. Buffy always returns to us calm and happy because she has such a great time. Thank you Jelena so much!”

“Kari was absolutely amazing . It was my first time doing doggy day care and I couldn’t be happier . He had a great time and she is so friendly and responsive . Highly recommend .”

Caterina did an amazing Job. First time Rover user and she went above and beyond to make sure not only I felt comfortable, but also my GS. Lots of walks and activity through out the day. Love that they took my girl to the beach. Would highly recommend Caterina for any and all dog sitting needs. Thank you so much for making this a very special experience. - 3 days Doggy Day Car 9am-5pm
Jessica is awesome! She is so sweet and is very responsive. I had an urgent need to find care for my pup Chewie due to work and Jessica was very understanding and accommodating. She made sure my pup had everything he needed to feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend her and reach out to her again when I need someone to look after my boy!

We went to Lily for day care, and she was great. My dog is very skittish and deals with separation anxiety, but she warmed up after getting used to Lily. They even went on a walk - huge step - which I didn't think would be possible due to the anxiety. I would recommend, and we will definitely be using Lily again.

So awesome and kind! Left my 10 week pup with him and he stayed in touch with updates and made me feel very comfortable to leave her in his Care! Certainly would recommend, especially for pups who aren’t fully vaccinated since he has no other pets and also give full attention to fur kiddos!

Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!

Jessica was fantastic. She handled my very high-energy dog with ease. The biggest proof was my dog himself. When I picked him up he almost seemed sad to leave her care. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable and great with dogs.
