“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!”


“We’ve used Heather a few times now and the pups are always very happy with her. They go on adventures every day and she sends lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!”


“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”


“Erika was AMAZING!! I get so anxious leaving my fur baby behind and she sent me so many updates and made me feel so at ease. Blackberry looked so calm and happy in the photos with her. Absolutely would recommend to anyone!”


“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!”


“Camille is the absolute BEST! We were nervous about leaving our 2 fur children at home with anyone other than family. Within a few minutes of meeting Camille, we just knew she was “the one” :) Easy to talk to, kind, energetic, amazing with our dogs, great thorough planner and communicator. Camille took wonderful care of our pups and our home for several days. Our dogs are 2 extremes - 1 big and older, 1 small and bouncing with energy. They both did great while we were away and obviously loved her. We will definitely be calling Camille again to watch our babies!”



“This was our second time using Patricia- she's excellent! Great communication and daily updates and pictures of George. This time she took him to sunset cliffs, he always looks so happy! Patricia takes such good care of our home we can never tell she was even there! Thanks again, Patricia!”



“Colin made it possible for us to have a four-day weekend getaway without any stress or worries about our fur babies. My wife was somewhat anxious and debated about canceling our plans, but once we met Collin she was no longer worried! When we did our meet and greet, we knew right away that he was the right choice. Collin is professional and expressed a sincere interest in taking care of our dogs. Once we left, he sent us a photo of their first walk; this made us super happy and gave me peace of mind. Through out the trip he would send us updates and send us pictures. He fed them on schedule and took them on their routine walks every day! He even gifted them a toy! That was super sweet. Collin went above and beyond for sure! We returned to our house, hugged our dogs and even found our patio looking more tidy than before. Collin is definitely our first and second choice for taking care of Puggy and Coco. These days it’s hard to trust anyone, but people like Collin gives us hope that there are trustworthy, caring, and genuine people. Thank you Collin for being there for Puggy and Coco! P.s. he even fed our mice trio and watered our plants! ~ JC ‘n Caya”


“Alina jumped in short notice to help us out when our longer-term house sitter had an issue with her dates, and she did great with our disabled dog and elderly cat. Our dog wears orthopedic braces and can sometimes be grumbly about getting them on and off, but Alina managed her like a champ. Her communication was excellent and we appreciated the photos she sent. We’ll definitely have her back if she’ll have us!”


“This was our first time leaving our Weimaraner Freya with someone who wasn’t immediate family. She was a little bit anxious and Melissa was amazing at adapting the schedule to make sure that Freya felt the most comfortable. She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. We definitely will want to use Melissa again in the future!”


“Jennifer was awesome! This was our first time hiring her for our senior pup Stella. She was very communicative around the booking and asked lots of questions to make sure we were a good fit. She took detailed notes about Stella and her schedule and patterns and behaviors. She managed Stella’s medications and she gave us daily updates while we were gone. Stella sprained her paw while running through our yard (which happens regularly) and Jennifer was so sweet and caring and concerned for Stella’s well being. It was very appreciated. Our house was spotless when we returned. We would absolutely hire Jennifer again and will definitely be recommending her to others. Thank you Jennifer!”


“Such an excellent and respectful house sitter! not only did they care for my 10 year old pitbull, but they left the house even more clean than when i left! would definitely hire again”

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.

“Gina was great! She took care of our cat, Maui, for a week. She followed the written directions, never hesitated contacting us when she had a question and even sent a couple of pictures of Maui. Knowing that Gina was reliable gave us the reassurance we needed so that we could relax and enjoy our vacation. Thanks again Gina!”


“Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!”


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.

About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 11, from walking and sitting to volunteering at a local animal shelter. With over 9 years of experience, I’m confident, caring, and always treat every dog like family. I’d love to help your pup feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I am a college student so my primary availability is Friday through Sunday for sitting. However, I do have some weekday mornings free for walks. I don’t board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in yours! I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos!

“Julia is the best! We were super nervous because it was our first team leaving our pup with a new person, but Julia really put us at ease. She gave us updates and sent pictures which we loved. Our dog also immediately loved her and felt comfortable with her. Julia is kind, attentive and a true lover of dogs. I could not recommend her more.”

Highly recommend! 🐾✨”
