“This was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure what to expect, especially when requesting service on short notice. John came over for a meet and greet, and our dogs were comfortable with him within minutes! He has an easy going, calm and gentle demeanor, which I think we can all appreciate. John came over the next morning right on time and we knew he’d take good care of our babies and our home. He kept us updated along with photos. Thank you for everything, John!”
“Raquel was amazing! She was able to watch my pup last minute all day which was a life saver! She was so good with our Ellie and treated like her own. I will definitely be using her again whenever we need it!”
“María was kind and professional. We have one dog that has anxiety and he was happy to stay with her. We felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. Would recommend and use her services again.”
“Audrey is amazing! She's been our dog walker for a few months, so we are familiar with how responsive, kind and professional Audrey is, but this was our first timing leaving both animals over night. I cannot express how comfortable and safe we felt with Audrey holding down the fort. She provided a detailed but simple daily update with multiple photos, that let us know the animals were well cared for so we could relax. I highly recommend Audrey and will definitely be a return customer.”
“Brandy did a wonderful job staying with our dog in our home. Our dog was well taken care of, and our house looked perfect when we arrived home. Brandy kept us updated and sent pictures every day. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her again,”
“Gretchen was great! Very accommodating, communicative, and great with my dog and 2 cats. They were well taken care of and the house was clean and tidy when I came back. Thank you Gretchen! Highly recommend.”
About: I give a lot of rubbing to show my love for them. In the past, I grew up with around twenty dogs of different species(including two Dobermans, a Rottweiler, a Boxer, a Caucasian Shepherd, a Tibetan Mastiff, a Border Collie, a Miniature Pinscher, a Pomeranian, a Chow Chow, a Labrador, a Bassett Hound, etc.) in different periods of my life. And I've made friends with dogs from neighbors or farms that I helped with. Currently I'm living happily with my husband and 3 dogs (a Min-pin/Daschund, a mixed Retriever and a Mini Schnauzer). I love hanging out with them so much. I feel very happy and content when I'm around them and I believe they enjoy my company as well. I'm very careful with what they eat and drink. I would always make sure I give them fresh water and food. I also do a really good job grooming. My schedule is pretty open right now and I'm very adaptable when it comes to adjusting to different schedules and tasks. I can get up early or go to bed late. I have a small dog of my own and he is very chill at home and snuggles in his bed unless it's time to go out. He is super social and harmless and wants to say hi and make friends with every single dog he sees.
“Aylene was so great when it came to our shy puppy. He needs someone who is patient with him and accepts his fearful behavior, and she did exactly that. She sent me updates and sent pictures that helped soothe being away from him. I would absolutely book her again for Zeus.”
“Maureen was amazing giving us updates and sending pictures so we felt at ease even when we were across the country from our Lily. She also left a super sweet note and magnet she’d made. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Mari did a wonderful job with Angus, our tricky pup who takes time to warm up. She gave him space and let him take his time getting comfortable with her. She also took good care of our home while we were away! We came home to a nest house and a happy dog. We hope she’s available for our next trip!”
“Simply outstanding. Imelda is an incredible person and pet sitter. She took immaculate care of our fur babies and home. We were stuck overseas for an additional few days and Imelda stayed. 5 stars is not enough!”
“Mia is charming and very dependable. Our pup took to her right away! Highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was a wonderful dog sitter for our fur babies! Not only was she communicative and caring, but when our flights go cancelled, she stepped in for an emergency extra night. We could tell by our boys reaction upon our return that they had been well-cared for. We hope to have Amanda care for them again!”
“Victoria did an amazing job at watching my dog. She was on time, loving, and always made sure Millie was taken care of. I would book with her again.”
“Melissa was absolutely awesome! She took wonderful care of our ailing dog. He was in good spirits when we returned from our trip. We will definitely use her again.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”
About: I’ve grown up with a total of four dogs in my household, and do a great job of keeping them happy and entertained! I love taking them on walks, playing with them, and even just chilling out with them on a couch :). I love dogs and I believe that their playful spirit needs to nurtured and tended to as often as possible! I am a prior student athlete who is now a full time student at San Diego State University. My availability during the summer will be wide open. During the school year I will have to be a bit more meticulous of working pet care into my schedule since I will have classes throughout the week. I am extremely attentive to my dogs and I am always very aware of what they need. I’ve grown a sixth sense for being able to tell when a dog needs to use the bathroom, wants to play, is tired, is hungry, or is timid or nervous and needs to take things slow. I can adapt to care for all kids of dogs and personalities of dogs.
“Sent pictures and updates.I was not home when she came to sit and he wouldn’t let her in at first but she was very patient and waited for him to be comfortable. 10/10.”
About: Hello there! My name is Mary Koler and I am so excited to be caring for your furry family! Please know that your pets will be in great hands with me, as I have 8+ years of experience in emergency medicine as a vet tech, so I am well-trained to deal with even the worst of scenarios. As a pet owner myself, I can ensure that your pet will be met with the utmost compassion and patience, as I've owned all ages and personality types (from aggressive to terrified). I'm looking forward to meeting you and the fam! I have a flexible schedule completely devoted to pet care services! Vetted through more than just Rover and licensed through the city of San Diego. Let's see how I can fit you in! :) I have been caring for pets ever since I was a child, whether it be my own personal pets or caring through them in a hospital setting as a vet tech. My pets have always been spoiled and adventurous. I live an active lifestyle, perfect for high energy pets!
About: I grew up with 3 chihuahuas in my home. I've been caring for family pups since 10. I became an official dog mama in 2020 when I brought Milo home. I raised my pup from 10 weeks and I've seen all the good times and challenges in raising a pup. I trained Milo by myself; from crate training to mannerisms and potty training. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I'm looking forward to raising another pup in another year or two. I am an entrepreneur so I have a flexible schedule. Usually I'm working from home during the day on the weekdays. During my midday breaks I walk my pup and play with him so he gets exercise. I am able to create my schedule so I can work with your pet's needs. I prefer to care for pups in a suburban area where we can go for nice walks. I go on at least 2 long walks with my dog per day, so he can explore and get exercise in. Inside of the home I like to make sure there are plenty of toys available for playtime, and water at all times.

Matt was great! He housesat for five nights and took great care of the house, two cats and one energetic wild young dog. He was a great communicator and gave us regular updates. We highly recommend!
Susanne is always amazing when she watches our two pugs. She keeps us updated sending us picks of our pups. And she always leaves our house nice and tidy when we come home. She goes above and beyond every dog sit. We feel so lucky to be able to count on her to take care of our pups when we're out of town. Thanks Susanne!
Brandy made sure our two golden retrievers were well taken care of while we were away for a week! She kept us informed and made it easy not to worry. We came home to two very happy puppies! 🥰
Sarah was excellent! She took such great care of our boy and sent lots of updates. I felt so good knowing my dog was being well cared for and loved while we were away. She also took good care of our home. We came back to it being cleaner than when we left! I highly recommend her!
Gretchen did an amazing job taking care of my pup! Could not have asked for a better at home dog sitter! Will definitely be going back to Gretchen in the future!
We had special needs pets and Justine took excellent care of them and our home. Our shy cat even came out of her shell within the first day. Justine is a great communicator and has a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. Our pets all give her 5 paws!
Absolutely amazing sitter! She was wonderful with both my dog Milo and our incredibly challenging foster—by far the most timid and reactive dog I’ve had in 9 years of fostering. She was calm, structured, and incredibly patient. Her communication was excellent, with fabulous updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. She spent lots of quality time with the dogs, and I came home to a spotless house. Truly top-notch care—will 100% rebook!
Alicia was amazing, very attentive, and lots of photos of my cat while we were on vacation. Very detailed morning and even reports and she even cleaned before leaving. We will definitely be booking again!
Mari did a wonderful job with Angus, our tricky pup who takes time to warm up. She gave him space and let him take his time getting comfortable with her. She also took good care of our home while we were away! We came home to a nest house and a happy dog. We hope she’s available for our next trip!
We booked Danielle for three nights at our house. She kept in touch with us and sent lots of pictures of our dog Lucy. You can tell my dog was loving all the attention she was getting. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned. I would highly recommend Danielle.
Simply outstanding. Imelda is an incredible person and pet sitter. She took immaculate care of our fur babies and home. We were stuck overseas for an additional few days and Imelda stayed. 5 stars is not enough!
Lilly was SO great! I have two dogs between 50 & 70lbs that are sweet, but both have their quorks.. my ‘mamma’s boy’ doodle usually will not go on walks with sitters, but he walked twice a day with Lilly! That means she was spending the time to be sweet with him and earn his trust, I was so happy to see him on walks & cuddling with her! She updated us & left the house looking great, I fully recommend Lilly! Thank you!
Amanda is an absolute gem! She took such great care of our girls, Piper and Roux. They got walks, cuddles, time outside to play, and we got photos and videos throughout the time we were away. Amanda made sure to connect with us on prep beforehand, as well as any questions while we were away. When we got home, both pups were excited to see us, but had clearly enjoyed their long weekend with Amanda! Outside of just the pet sitting, Amanda took great care of our house. We came home to find everything in its place and her used towels and linens were even stacked in the laundry room to mistake it easier for us to We would absolutely use Amanda again - she is fabulous!
Katherine was great! No worries and she was very good about videos, texts and photos. Thank you, Katherine!
Olivia is a great communicator and regularly updated me with photos and texts. I felt very confident that my dogs and cats were well cared for and would absolutely recommend Olivia to take care of your fur kids.
Laurel was great! My pets loved her. She was very good at communicating, sending pictures/updates and taking care of them!
Macy was great with my two dogs - one senior dog and one puppy. She came over for a meeting before her house/dog sitting stay and got to know the pups and my home. She was very communicative and responsible. Nothing but great things to say and I plan to hire her again!
We can’t say enough good things about Sierra! She took care of our pets while we were away, and she was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel so comfortable and reassured that our puppers were in great hands. It was clear from the updates that they were happy, well-cared for, and loved. Sierra went above and beyond, and we are so grateful we found her. We 100% trust her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!
Thank you Thomas! You were an outstanding house sitter for 3 weeks. You are a great communicator. Our dogs and cat are not always easy to care for, and you took great care of them. You provided photos and videos on a regular basis. And best of all you are reliable and trustworthy! We won't hesitate to use you again and can highly recommend you.
Julia was amazing with my dog and cat while I was away. She kept me updated with sweet messages and photos, and I could tell my pets were really happy and well cared for. When I got home, everything was clean and my pets were relaxed and content. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I’d definitely ask Julia to watch them again, highly recommend her!
