“Matt is the absolute best!! Very sweet and kind to my 13 year old black Lab. From the meet and greet I could tell Matt was very sweet to my Lola and empathetic to my anxiety of leaving my elderly pup alone. Matt was very attentive to following the list of directions for my pups eating and med routine and was so kind to send me updates each time food, meds and potty breaks happened. Matt sent tons of pics all day. Already booking Matt for my next trip. Thank you Matt you are an angel.”
“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”
“María watched our 6 month old puppy for several days, and she is fantastic! She gave us frequent updates and took a lot of great pictures. She made sure our pup was well cared for and had fun while we were gone! She is very compassionate and an animal lover. On top of taking great care of our pup, she also took time to make sure our apartment was tidy when we got home. We will definitely have María look after our pup in the future!”
“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Kelly did a great job watching our two fur babies while we were out of town for the weekend! She also did a wonderful job taking care of our house. We definitely recommend her! 😁”
“Leo was a wonderful sitter for our new shelter dog, Canyon. Canyon has had some issues with reactivity and separation anxiety so after a meet and greet and introduction walk, I was so happy to see how patient and caring Leo was with him. Its a huge relief knowing our sweet boy was in good hands while we were away and working on his issues over the long term 10/10”
“Dee is amazing with our dogs. We feel so comfortable with Dee staying in our home with our 3 pups. Every time we come back from a trip they’re all so happy. Thanks for everything Dee!”
“Carla was absolutely amazing with house sitting my two pups. She knew my Luna was not fond of new people and she was patient with her and by the third day, she had won her love. Carla sent updates and pictures and I felt at ease being away. She not only took care of my pups but also my home. I would recommend booking with Carla 😊”
About: I have been around all type of animals since I was born. I grew up with a weekly visit to my families farm, which kickstarted my passion for animal-care and provided a strong foundation to understanding all creatures and ensuring they are living their best lives. In high school, I worked at a dog-boarding facility called Shamrock Ranch, feeding, walking, and loving on the residents. Since graduating in 2020 and moving to San Diego, I have acquired my own pack of 3 land-sharks, all with their own array of needs being rescue dogs. Hence, I am capable and comfortable handling dogs with special needs, reactivity, and those who just need a little longer to warm up. I also have been rescuing rats for years, so I am very familiar with their needs and would love to help with yours! I currently only work at farmers markets on the weekends serving up Buddah bowls, so my schedule is wide-open on weekdays and weekend afternoons / evenings. Having rescue dogs with different needs, I am always very aware of my surroundings and observant of potential triggers. I am also a very detail oriented person, always double-checking that the doors are locked behind me, etc.
“Justine was amazing ? my dogs loved her and she sent me plenty of updates, pictures and videos and that was so thoughtful of her because I was nervous since this was my first time using this service. I came home to a Clean house and that felt amazing because I was exhausted. Will definitely be booking her again for my next work trip!”
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm Natalie and I'm looking forward to possibly getting to know you and your fur babies! A little about myself: I'm very detail oriented and caring, meaning that your pets will be watched carefully and respectfully. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. I'm open and communicative so I'm willing to connect with you. I currently study journalism and communications in college and I hope to connect with you soon! :) I'm currently in school and have a pretty free schedule. I also tend to not go home for breaks, meaning that I'll be staying in the San Diego area and will be completely free during those times. I will make sure to follow rules that the pet is familiar with (for example: no jumping on couches; going outside for bathroom breaks, etc.) and that if the owner is currently training the pet, I will help with that as well.
“Jenny took great care of our pack while we were away. She was so organized and communicative from the start that we had complete confidence in her and she did not let us down. She was quick to respond when we were in touch while we were on our trip and we came home to 2 happy cats and 2 happy dogs and a clean and tidy house. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend!”
“Skylar was very kind when she came to meet Oakley she brought him his own little stuffy that he loves! She was great about updating me how he was doing while being away giving me peace of mind. Definitely 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be contacting her the next time I have to leave town! :) thank you Skylar!”
“Sabrina took such good care of my pups who get really bad separation anxiety. I hired her to watch them while we took a day trip and they got plenty of attention. They were happy dogs when we returned home.”
“We had a wonderful first experience working with Yun through Rover! From the start, her communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and reassuring. She was incredibly thorough and attentive, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Our pup was in great hands, and it showed. We especially appreciated how considerate and caring she was throughout. Looking forward to booking with her again soon!”
“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!”
“Kris was once again an excellent sitter for our dog! She kept in contact with me each day with updates and a picture or two of our dog. He was happy and well cared for and our home was clean and tidy. Kris has been our faithful dog sitter now several times and I highly recommend her!”

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chase to care for my dog Lucy, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Chase was incredibly attentive, reliable, and showed genuine affection for Lucy. Chase stayed at our house for a week and throughout the sitting period, Chase provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Lucy seemed happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend Chase to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for your outstanding service!"
Sabrina was a wonderful house sitter. She took care of my two dogs while I was out of town for a friends wedding. Sabrina sent many updates while I was away which helped me feel better that they were happy and taken care off by someone so kind. She even took them to dog beach (which I said was okay) and washed them afterwards so I came home to two tired but excited dogs. I would use Sabrina again without a second thought!
Kris is the most wonderful kitty sitter and house sitter imaginable! This is our second time having Kris stay at our home for an extended period of time while we were out of town. Having her take care of the kitties and the house while we were away for 2-weeks brought us so much peace of mind and allowed us to relax and unwind without any worries. She sent daily photos and videos and kept me posted on all pertinent details each day. She's extremely patient and flexible and went out of her way to find a solution to help my two picky eaters eat their wet food. She also did an amazing job keeping them entertained with lots of playtime. We returned home to two very happy and content kitties and a spotless house. She's an absolute gem and we are so grateful for her help! Kris will always be our go-to house sitter anytime we travel.
Justine is a fantastic sitter and left me without worry while she housesat with our fur babies for a few nights. She is a clear communicator and took very good care of our three Australian Shepherds. On top of the excellent care, she also left our house in great shape for our return.
Analicia did a great job watching my dog and three cats for two nights in my home. This is the second time we had her pet sit and both times she has sent regular updates and tons of pictures. She was great with our dog and cats, playing with them and giving lots of pets. One of our cats settled right into her lap. Analicia left everything clean (and even did dishes - wow!) and we would love to have her pet sit again in the future!
This was my first time using Ava and I was so happy with everything. She took wonderful care of our doggie and I swear my house looked better than I left it. Ava was communicative about how things were going at home and how Oakley was doing. I feel really lucky that I found her and will without a doubt use her again. P.S. when I returned, my dog chose to sleep where they slept together instead of with me!
Gretchen was so great with my dogs! I feel like she really cared about their needs & spent time with them. My doodle usually doesn’t go on walks with sitters & barely eats when I’m gone, but he walked with her the first night & all throughout! The house was clean when we got home & she sent pics & updates through the stay. Excited to have her again!
Tara was FANTASTIC!! My german shepherd Adonis is extremely reactive and my senior dog Astro has heart disease so both have a completely different schedule and she was amazing and so so so accommodating for them while I was away. This was the best first experience I have ever had on Rover. Thank you so much Tara you rock!!!
I really appreciate Padraig's efforts in house sitting my two dogs for two weekends in a row (including a holiday weekend). While my dogs don't require 24/7 care, they can't just be left alone and checked on a couple times a day. Padraig followed all the instructions I left for him and was easy to communicate with while I was away. And he also left my home in the same condition as he found it in. The next door neighbors have him a glowing review, too. Most importantly, even though my dogs were excited to see me come home, I could tell they were well taken care of and they were appropriately tired out. Padraig would 100% be welcome back in the future. Thanks again!
