“Livia did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of our dog for a full week in April. Our dog, Riley was super happy and relaxed with Livia. She knew how to make a connection with our dog and made sure to provide daily updates and pictures. We couldn't be happier with her work and will surely rebook her time for our upcoming travel plans. Strongly recommended, super reliable and easy to work with. She even took great care of our fish and plants! Thank you Livia! You are awesome!”
“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”
“Bella did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Rai! We were on vacation for 2 weeks and were very lucky to have Bella watch him. She quickly picked up on his daily routine and took him on multiple walks every day, and took him to his favorite dog park in the afternoons. She sent us pictures every day during our trip and he looked so happy! Bella kept the house tidy and organized, and gave Rai a bath before we came back so he was clean. It gave our family a big peace of mind to know Rai was being well taken care of and having fun every single day. I highly recommend to have Bella watch over your pet in the future!”
“Meagan was great. On time, very responsive, sent photos and updates throughout the day and looked after my boy well. I would definitely use her again.”
“We were so lucky to come across Jeremiah as our dog sitter! Our two senior pups had a blast with him and some other furry friends. He sent daily photos and videos, questions about their demeanor (like what to do if they weren't hungry/eating their food), and was super responsive and attentive providing updates/questions without me needing to ask. They even went on daily walks, which wasn't a need, and our babies enjoyed being spoiled outside. We can't wait to use him again. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“Olivia was a great communicator and Cheeto enjoyed having someone to keep him lots of company! Thank you!”
“Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.”
“Robyn was so wonderful! I have a very senior dog who requires multiple medications and eye drops daily and she was able to keep up with everything while we were out of town. Bruce took to her right away and even slept cuddled up with her at night 😭. I’m glad I found Robyn to care for our sweet boy when we can’t take him with us.”
“Patricia did a great job looking after our 3 cats for two weeks. The cats liked her. They looked happy and healthy and our home was tidy when we returned. Patricia was vigilant and quick to respond to our daily messages.”
“Such a wonderful sitter!!!”
“My first time using Luciana and I couldn’t be happier! Luciana was punctual, did a fantastic job of keeping me informed while I was away and was phenomenal with my Frenchie. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Luciana!”
“Faranak did a wonderful job with our dogs. Can’t wait to work with her again.”
About: I've had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs for the past 5 years. I enjoy being your pet's companion while you're away and making sure they have enough food and cuddles. From administering medication to brushing teeth, you name it and I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! House sitting and pet care are my full-time priorities, so I am available pretty much anytime - including nights and weekends! This also means I am able to take last-minute bookings and take pets on frequent walks/potty breaks as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are important to me! To ensure this, I adhere strictly to owner instructions, communicate openly, and provide detailed after-visit summaries with multiple pictures.
“We highly recommend working with Jen.”

“Appreciated him taking care of our babies on thanksgiving. He loved our dogs, was very good at communicating with us while he was there. Came on time, did an excellent job. 😊”
About: I have looked after my own and others pets since I was a teenager (for over 2 decades) and have developed a gentle approach to animal care and training. I have successfully trained my Huskita from a nervous, 1 year old rescue to a confident, well behaved 12 year old dog. I am extensively experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walks and appreciate just how important they are to your dogs well being. I also understand that each dog is different and requires a tailored care experience, from the nervous and shy to the excitable and even aggressive. I am a 38 year old wildlife scientist who is adapting to a life in the US having moved here from the UK in 2025. I am looking for regular walking and home check work and can make most any day and time work during the weekdays. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own home and dog. I follow instructions carefully and will require a detailed chat leading up to the walking or sitting so you can provide any important and specific considerations for your pet. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and comfortable in their familiar space. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, giving a lot of affection, play and calm companionship. I’m mindful of routines, respectful of your home and committed to building trust with both you and your pet.
“Jess is a warm, caring and wonderful sitter! She was very conscientious about anything we asked in regards to the care of our house and boys. She kept us up to date with how they were all doing, sent lots of pictures and put us at ease, knowing they were being loved and well cared for! She even made them "pawpscicles"! When we returned from a long day of travel, the dogs were clean, happy and the house was spotless! Very happy to have had Jess taking care of us!”

About: I’m dog and cat mom.Also I have two kids :) I am always at home and my husband walks the dogs every day. I'm pretty much always available and can accommodate many last minute needs. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for years. I've been growing up with dogs and cats since I was a child. It's so fun to spend time with them. I love pets ! Things happen, work happens, life happens and I understand completely! If you're going on vacation, enjoy it! You can trust your pet is safe in my care.

Mira Mesa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla was great as always! We never have to worry about our 2 cats when we are away for long trips. Always come back to happy cats and a well maintained house!
Robyn was so wonderful! I have a very senior dog who requires multiple medications and eye drops daily and she was able to keep up with everything while we were out of town. Bruce took to her right away and even slept cuddled up with her at night 😭. I’m glad I found Robyn to care for our sweet boy when we can’t take him with us.
Madeline watched our golden retriever and home for 12 days. Unfortunately, our dog has some GI upset during the stay, but Madeline was wonderful in dealing with the issue: frequently communicating with us and consulting with us on when to see the vet, taking her to the vet, regularly following up with vet and administering special medications and foods. No one wants to have this happen while away from their dog, but I could not have asked for a better sitter in managing this for us! In addition to this, Madeline even managed to start training our dog to swim (or at least be comfortable on the step of the pool) - something we had not managed with this dog. She is a great trainer.
Sindhu was wonderful! Her communication with us was top notch and our pup felt so comfortable while we were away. Thank you so much! We will definitely be rebooking ❤️
Patricia is fantastic! She was on-time, very respectful of our home while dog sitting and our dog enjoyed her company. She followed all instructions and provided a bunch of updates.
Jeremiah has taken exceptional care of our two dogs. He made us feel safe, knowing they were in good hands. He was dedicated to ensuring that everyone was happy during our absence. We highly recommend him.
Megan was awesome!! She was very communicative and spent extra time playing with my cats. It is nerve wracking to leave our fur babies in the care of someone new, but Megan put me completely at ease. I will definitely look to book her next time I go on vacation and recommend her without hesitation!
Kate was an amazing dog sitter and our dogs were very well taken care of while we were away. She was a great communicator and sent us lots of photos of the dogs on their walks and getting pets. She left our house very clean and we would love to have her watch our dogs again in the future.
Emily is a GODSEND! I adopted the most scared dog in the shelter, for months nobody but me has been able to get him to go outside to go pee. He hides and sometimes bites people. Emily was the first person to not only get him to go outside, but on a WALK! I could not be happier that I found her - She is the dog whisperer! If she can handle my dog she can handle any. My dog & I love her!!
Elizabeth was extreme kind and attentive to our 3 animals-2 large dogs and a kitten. She was available for check ins whenever I reached out to her. She handled pet accidents as well as voiced concerns when our dogs were eating cat food. She was extremely respectful of our home and flexible with our times of leaving and coming back. She was even available to check on the animals on Christmas Eve and Christmas. I woll 100% rebook with Elizabeth on our next vacation.
Emily was wonderful! She took excellent care of my golden while I was out of the country and also took great care of my home. She provided updates and communication was easy. I would definitely recommend her!
Can’t say enough wonderful things about Brianna! She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were gone. I felt so confident leaving knowing she was taking care of our dogs and I didn’t worry about them at all. She provides great updates and treats your pets as if they were her own!
Ashley was communicative, trustworthy, and took great care of our cat, dog, and home while we were away. Would definitely ask her to house sit again in the future!
This was our first time utilizing a house/dog sitter and Jam did such a wonderful job! Our dog took a liking to her right away. She was very communicative and provided regular updates. She even allowed our pup to sleep with her to help keep her comforted. Thanks again Jam!
