“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitie is awesome. We had a last minute trip out of town and she came over the day before to meet the dynamic duo. The dogs loved her and she was super responsive and managed two large dogs like she had known them forever. The house was immaculate when we got home too. We’ll definitely work with her again.”
“Kristen is a life saver! Winifred is our baby that goes everywhere with us. We wanted to go see a movie & obviously couldn't take her with us so, Kristen to the rescue! Now we have about 3 other occasions for Winifred to enjoy Kristen's loving company. She is so loving and attentive to Winifred's needs. Kristen is so sweet, caring & Winifred LOVES her!! Thank you Kristen!!”
“Hannah was fantastic! She gave our boys lots of attention, followed all of our instructions, and updated us with photos on a regular basis. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with our dogs again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
“Elise was amazing. She helped us out on very short notice, was super easy to communicate with, and left our place spotless! Our animals loved hanging out with her, and she sent plenty of photo updates to make us feel comfortable, will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I walk or run your pup to keep them fit, happy, and healthy, and also offer soothing, therapeutic massages to help them relax and recover. “I have a very flexible schedule as I work part-time, which allows me to care for pets any time of the day. I’m also available on weekends and for overnight stays at the owner’s home. Along with walks and play, I offer therapeutic and soothing dog massages. I love outdoor activities, which keeps both me and the pets I care for active, healthy, and happy.” Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow all instructions, provide loving care, and choose clean, safe routes to keep every walk happy, healthy, and stress-free.
“Nikolas has watched our two boys over two separate weekends. He's communicative and kind. The dogs immediately took to him. He leaves the house spotless. Nikolas is fantastic, we highly recommend him.”
“Lilly was great with Luna and sent frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell Luna was being well cared for and treated with so much love! I highly recommend Lilly and will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Lindsey was great withy my puppy Rocky! I like that she has other dogs for him to play with while I'm gone. She was super responsive and was very flexible to make sure everything for Rocky went smoothly. Would definitely use her again!”
“Sophia did an amazing job caring for my cat, Leo! She followed all of the directions I left her and left our home super clean! She sent me lots of pictures and updates to let me know how things were going while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch your pet!!”
“Alina was perfect and I'm so happy to have found her! She house sat for my 12 year old dachshund for almost two weeks and he couldn't have been happier. She sent me photos and kept me updated on their walks, outings and cuddle time. He is an easy dog but can get anxious when I'm gone for long stretches. Alina provided the love and attention he needed so no sad or anxious behavior this time. I'm excited to have found a great person to care for him when I'm away!”
“Camille was incredible with our senior dog! She has EXTRAORDINARY attention to detail and followed our instructions to a tee. She bonded really well with our Cali girl and even woke up at night to make sure she was OK since our doggie paces at night. She had excellent communication throughout our trip and took extra steps to ensure we were prepared in case of emergency. She left the house spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring sitter who is truly committed to the job and takes it seriously. Thank you so much Camille!”
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my life, from growing up with them to having dogs of my own. Although my experience with pets is primarily with dogs, I feel like animals in general absolutely love me! There’s a special connection between us that is unexplainable. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether it’s dogs or cats, and give them the love and attention they’re accustomed to—and deserve! Please note: I am available for house/pet sitting within 50 miles of San Diego. However, drop-in visits and dog walking are limited to 10 miles. I’m self-employed and fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I will make sure your pets are safe and comforted while you're away and do whatever I can to ease any anxiety they may have. We’ll play, relax, or simply hang out, whatever the moment calls for. My goal is to help them feel as comfortable as possible until you return.
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She watched our dogs at our home for 10 days while we were out of the country on a vacation. It was a long trip but we felt so comfortable leaving her to take care of our doggies like they were her own. She kept in contact daily with updates and a good amount of pictures as well. She even surprised us when she sent us a photo of her walking both of our dogs at the same time and saying Yogi, our typically feisty one, was being very well behaved. Walking both of them together can be difficult for us so we were pleasantly surprised by this and knew the doggies must be very comfortable and happy with her. She also left the house just as clean as it was when she arrived. 10/10 recommended and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
About: I grew up taking care of our family dog who was the best Mutt ever. She lived 16 beautiful long happy years. I don’t have any dogs of my own at the moment which means I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I have a hybrid work schedule and fairly flexible weekends right now. Especially if I know in advance and can plan for your pet, I will easily be able to accommodate. I show them love and attention while making sure they are physically very well taken care of. I personally live an active lifestyle and can easily bring them along with me if your pet has lots of energy or is used to lots of activity.
“We found Leanne when another dog sitter cancelled the week before a trip. Leanne was a good communicator and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes. She bonded with our German shepherd right away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We will absolutely use Leanne again!”
“I needed a house sitter fast and I found Jordyn, she was flexible and was able to take care of my dog. She was such a great sitter! She kept me updated and sent me pictures of my Chewy :) I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I've always grown up with pets from birds, to cats, to dogs. I am experienced with feeding, cleaning, walks, play and of course treats! My boyfriend and I currently have an 11yr old mixed terrier who is not slowing down, so very experienced with a lot of attentive love :) I have also crate trained as well as simple commands to sit, stand up, stay and trained to be on a feeding schedule. I work a full time job, but I am available most days after 4pm and available most weekends with enough notice. I am open to staying in your home if needed! We currently care for our dog with a lot of love, attention and play. I have personally crate trained her, and taught simple commands such as sit, stay, and trained her to be on a consistent feeding schedule. I will always follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies and of course treat them with a lot of love and care!

Midtown District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley is the BEST! Georgia Mae was naughty before she got there and deSTROYED my airplane pillow I dropped on the way out. Ashley cleaned up and treated Georgia like a best friend all day, sending pics along the way. Could not be happier with her! 5⭐️ all the way!
John took great care of my pup and my apartment. He sent photos twice a day and always responded quickly to my messages. He washed the sheets, took out the trash, and I'm pretty sure cleaned the fridge a bit. Went above and beyond to make sure I came home to happy pup and a clean house. I would definitely recommend him for house sitting your pets.
We absolutely love Callahan!! We are a military family that tries to go home quite a bit, she always is our go to! We have two big dogs that need lots of love, she gives them nothing but that! She’s very trustworthy, very sweet and always sends us pictures of our fur children! Please think of her for your next vacation! 💙
Sarah was amazing with our doggo! 🐾 She was very responsive, sent plenty of updates and pictures, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Mac clearly loved spending time with her, and we really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!
Autumn was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Zoe. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how kind, attentive, and detail-oriented she is. She spent an entire evening caring for Zoe with such compassion and professionalism—it truly meant the world to us. Knowing Zoe was in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind. We can’t thank Autumn enough for the impact her care had on our family. Highly, highly recommend!
This was Malley’s second time watching our three dogs at our home, and it was a long stay! More than a week. Our dogs were loved and well cared for, she kept in constant communication and she was very flexible when we had a last minute flight change. We will definitely ask her to come back and watch our dogs again!
angeline is simply the best! i had a family emergency and she was so quick to help me out any way she could! even though she had a couple things going on during the week, she offered all the time she had available to watch over my cats. angeline did an amazing job of administering their medications and even helped with a few extra unscheduled check-ins when my flights back home got delayed. she’s so attentive, communicative, and flexible! my cats absolutely adored angeline too so i know they were in amazing hands 🫶 i will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Hollyanne and Donavan provided excellent care for my 2 dogs and my tortoise. I couldn’t be happier! My older dog is on anti-itch medicine, and I didn’t have enough to cover while I was gone, and the vet was out until after I left. Donovan went above and beyond and picked up the meds at the vets to make sure Dottie didn’t have a lapse. I got multiple pictures every day and plenty of updates. Dare I say, that maybe they were a little spoiled? ;-) My home was in immaculate condition and all the dog dishes and food puzzles were left sparkling clean. Highly recommended.
We had Jarrod watch our doberman Tyson, who has sever seperation anxiety, and recently had surgery. Jarrod has a very professional manner and immediately connected with Tyson. While there was some whining from Tyson as we left, Jarrod had him comfortable shortly after and Tyson took a nap. We will definetly use Jarrod in the future.
Monica is amazing! From the first meet and greet we had with myself and my dog, I could tell immediately she is kind, attentive and reliable. I got regular updates and photos during her stay with my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup. She is truly gifted with animals and it shows!! Thank you Monica! Highly recommend reaching out to her :)
Clare is an amazing sitter! This was my second time booking her, and I couldn’t be happier. My little Luna absolutely adores her! Clare kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She left the house spotless and even washed the bedding so I wouldn’t have to deal with it after a long trip which is such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Clare! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Marina was amazing — easily the best sitter I’ve had! She took care of Louie while I was out of town, and he loved her instantly. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, took him on plenty of walks, played with him, made sure he was fed, and even gave him his meds without any issues. Would definitely book her again!
