“The only bad part about highly recommending Ana is that her schedule might get too full 😂 now for real, Ana is a saint. My dog is very picky and an old man and somehow she just gets him. She's incredibly reliable and quick to respond. I had a two week trip planned and Ana continuously gave updates and pictures, moreso than my own sister who was actually house sitting with him! She's so caring and loving, your pup will be so happy with Ana as a new friend”

“Latisha was amazing with my cats! She offered to have a meet and greet beforehand, which I thought was very nice and helpful. She was quick to respond and took great care of my cats. No complaints! Definetely will rebook with her when needed :)”
“Teresa was amazing with my cat. I can tell my cat was very comfortable around her and she was very considerate with everything. Things were left tidy and neat and my cat happy. Just wonderful!”
“Tina was available short-notice for us and was great with out cats! She was very informative and included a detailed summary of each visit along with many photos. She was not shy about asking questions to make sure she was providing the best care for our cats. Thank you!”
About: Hi there! I’m Sami — a lifelong dog lover originally from Chicago, now living in San Diego. I currently have a sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) who lives back home with my mom in Chicago. Even though she’s miles away, I miss her every day — so taking care of other people’s pups fills my cup! I have 10+ years of experience watching all different breeds and ages ranges of dogs. If you have any special accommodations I am more than happy to accommodate! I live right between bankers hill and hillcrest area, and my apartment is pet friendly. There are lots of grassy areas nearby, and Balboa park is a 8 minute walk from me so there’s plenty of room for your dog to walk around! I work from home every day except Wednesdays so I can board your dog majority of the week! I live with my partner and we have a 2 bedroom place, so it is the perfect spot for your pup to hang out and will be getting lots of love and attention! I work from home every day except Wednesdays so I can board your dog at my place or come by for walks throughout the day! I also have availability on weekends and try to keep my status updated as much as possible! If I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays clean, cozy, and familiar for your pet. I follow feeding and walk schedules closely, give them lots of love and attention, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. For walks or drop-ins, I make sure they get plenty of fresh air, sniff time, and play — whatever makes them happiest. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and cared for, and for you to feel totally at ease knowing they’re in good hands. My apartment is close to Balboa Park so I can take them on lots of walks nearby!

“Our pups loved Phillip the moment they met him. He stopped by and did a meet and greet, which was very comforting. One could tell he also enjoys being around dogs. He kept us updated daily and even collected our mail and packages. We left him a letter regarding caring for the pups and he followed every step. On the last day he spent a few minutes with us and the dogs and you could tell they were happy to see him. Will definitely use him again.”
About: I grew up on a large family property in Pennsylvania with plenty of open space, where dogs and outdoor cats were always roaming, so being around animals has been a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need gentle, attentive care as they’ve lost their vision and hearing. If you’re looking for someone reliable who will treat your dogs with the utmost love and care, you’re in the right place. I look forward to being the dog walker your pup gets excited to see every time! I work a full time job in person Mon-Thurs with every other Friday off. I am typically off around 4pm and can get to your pup shortly after. In my client’s home, I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, along with timely walks and feeding.. especially when they tap their bowl like it’s a dinner bell and it’s officially “feed me right now” time!

“Angela is great! She leaves detailed notes about her stay with your pet and is GREAT with anxious dogs.

She staid up to date with me about her drop in visit a d made me feel at ease knowing he was well taken care of.”

Midtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alena did a wonderful job all around walking and feeding my two pups while I was away overnight. She was kind, dependable, and responsive, sending me many adorable pictures from the walks. I could relax being away knowing my babies were in great hands. Look forward to having her her watch them again!
Our sitter did an amazing job caring for our pets. The flocked were clearly well taken care of, and Jerry looked very happy. Communication was great — they were very responsive and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away.
Sarah did an amazing job with my 1.5 year old lab puppy while I was gone on a work trip. Sent thorough updates, pictures, videos, and strong comms on both days after every drop-in. She even practiced the commands my dog knows to keep her mind occupied on top of playing with her. Will def be re-booking Sarah in the future.
Latisha was amazing! She did a meet and greet with my cat and I that made me feel so at ease and comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She provided great updates and lots of photos and videos throughout my long vacation! Throughout my trip, I felt no anxiety at all regarding my pets care and knew that she was being well cared for. I will definitely rebook with Latisha when I go out of town next!! Thank you!!
I’m so sad that I just found Christine and I’m moving in a month. Have been searching for someone as sweet and caring as her for so long. She constantly updated me, and sent the cutest photos. Felt so relieved all week knowing that my little babies were in her hands. Can’t recommend her enough ❤️
I cannot recommend her enough! She took exceptional care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She is incredibly caring and my cat absolutely adored her. She was flexible, reliable, and trustworthy, and she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos so I always knew how my cat was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands.
We hired Alyssa for our two shy kitties pretty last minute for a two week trip out of the country. She did a phenomenal job keeping us updated with Rover Cards and reaching out if she needed anything, so we could really enjoy our trip. Our normally very shy cats warmed up to her really quickly, so it put us even more at ease. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!
