“Tiffany was great, very open communication and was able to make sure my cats had plenty of love and attention while I was gone. Thank you so much!”
“Justin is wonderful. I had him come by to meet our dogs and see our home and to take them on a walk. The dogs immediately felt comfortable around him. He asked a lot of very good questions regarding there care and preferences and showed a lot of knowledge of how to care for a dog. We look forward to rebooking with him again.”
“Megan was incredible! She took excellent care of our cat Georgie! She helped last minute and was extremely helpful!!! 10/10 would recommended Megan to care for your fur baby!”
“For 13 years of my cat Mango's life, I've never left her alone with anyone else aside from family but since moving across the country, I turned to Alexandra. She was warm and gentle towards Mango in the initial visit and Mango took a very quick liking to her. My fears of leaving her to someone else other than a family member was quelled and I knew Mango would be well taken care of. Alexandra was intentional in her visits by making sure everything was set in place, giving attention to Mango and giving me updates with each visit. I highly recommend Alexandra for anyone looking for a sitter who will treat their pet as their own.”
“Thanks for stopping by and taking out my dog! Also for providing great education and advice on raising this dog! 👍”

“Jessica is the best! She is a great communicator, sent helpful updates and photos, and provided great care for our 2 energetic dogs. Jessica will be our go-to dog sitter in Camp Pendleton!”
About: In my high school years I worked in a pet kennel, and since then have passionately looked after and walked neighbors’ dogs! As I cannot have a dog myself, I love to temporarily care for others! This is truly a passion of mine and signing up for Rover is simply out of a true desire to spend more time with pups ♥️🐶 On days I work from home, I’m available for short walks before working hours or over lunch. Weekend times are varied but also an option. Pets in my home are treated as my own. While I do my best to enforce my own rules (no paws on the couch or bed!) I respect others rules in their own home completely. As an avid runner and biker myself, I am strict with leash rules and safety for both dogs and those around them.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, and I have experience administering prescription medications to both dogs and cats. I am currently a part-time remote student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! This allows me to easily accommodate pet care needs throughout the day, whether that’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I’m able to provide consistent companionship and care, especially for pets who need a little extra attention or have specific routines. I’m also available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique schedule. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In Your Home: I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and relaxed while you're away. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and of course, lots of attention and affection! I also make sure your home stays tidy and your pet feels safe and loved in their familiar environment. In My Home (if applicable): My home is a calm, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. I keep a clean, safe environment and follow your instructions closely when it comes to food, exercise, crate time, or special needs. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure each one gets plenty of one-on-one time and care. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, love, and attention to detail.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and currently have a one and a half year old German shepherd dog named Jack. I’ve trained him with professional industries in person so I’ve picked up many skills and have great understanding on dog behavior. I love my dog and treat him as family and will also do the same for yours! I have a regular 8-5 job and am available to board in my home all week. Very flexible and available! I do live 2 minutes from where I work so dropping in during my work is very easy and I do have two hour lunches from 11 am to 1pm. I have a two story home with a super friendly German shepherd dog named Jack. I own two XL impact crates for the safety of my dog and your dogs when crated. I take dogs I board on walks in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. Depending on the dog I have a huge dog park down the road from where I live where I can take them to play and run off leash. I have a pet friendly home where dogs can be on couches and all areas of the home for their comfort!
About: My family and I always owned/cared for pets while I was growing up. I personally raised my 10 year old half whippet/half pitbull from a puppy. I’ve always been happy to help out friends, family members, neighbors and roommates with pet care. I have professional experience at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’ve always had a passion for animals and stand firmly on animal rights. I want to provide a safe/trustworthy place for your pet. SKILLS: familiar dogs who have separation anxiety, oral medication, picky eaters, potty training, knowledge of dog behaviors & familiar with different breeds of dogs I enjoy caring for furry friends during my time off from my weekend restaurant job. I have a very flexible schedule. The only time I'm busy is Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm. Currently I have an indoor cat named Henry. As of now I am offering dog walking, home check ins and pet sitting/over night in the pet owners home. I consider myself very respectful and trust worthy as I have lots of experience with nannying in guests homes.
“Benicio did a fantastic job of taking care of both my dogs. He followed all the care instructions I left for him and gave my dogs lots of cuddles and ensured my home was tidied up after each visit. He gave constant updates and sent some of the cutest pics of my pups. Phenomenal sitter”
About: Hey guys! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. From a young age I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses. The love I experienced for all these animals only grew in size as I became an adult. In highschool I had an Akita mix that I would often care for while my parents traveled and the best cat that has traveled the United States with me. The love I have for my own fur babies I promise to show to your four legged friends too! I work in digital marketing and am in the process of getting my real estate license. In my spare time I love to be active which is why dog walking became a wonderful side hustle to invest my time in. I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs as a dog owner. Pitbulls, German shepherd, Australian shepherd, chihuahuas, and terriers. I babysit dogs for my friends and family. Super patient and have a thorough understanding of dog psychology. I work remotely and only have a few short meetings spread in the am. I can go on numerous walks a day. Other than that, I’m free as a bird! Love to get my steps in with dogs! I have a very sweet spot for all dogs. I’m very into dog psychology and love studying all the different breeds. Fenced yard. 3 adults only. Next to the beach! Love walking dogs as a hobby. Pack leader with love and patience. Love to train dogs as well. Calm assertive leader.
About: Growing up fostering pets taught me how to quickly adapt to different dogs’ needs and personalities. I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved, no matter their temperament, age, or needs. I work some weekdays 9am-5:30pm and am available during weekends. I would be happy to go before or after work to ensure your pets are taken care of. In my own home and in yours, I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment where pets feel at ease. I take time to understand their routines, preferences, and boundaries, and I always follow any care instructions closely. Building trust through consistency, patience, and affection is key to making them feel safe and cared for.
About: I've cared for pets countless times over the years 🐶—from family to close friends, it's second nature to me. I have experience with both calm and reactive dogs, and I’m familiar with common triggers and how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe on every walk 🦴🐾. I'm a full-time college student 🎓, but my classes are fully remote with no required live lectures—giving me a super flexible schedule! If overnight care is needed, I can easily bring my laptop and get my work done while staying with your pup 🐕💻. There are always foster dogs coming and going in my home 🏠🐾, so I’m used to adapting quickly and staying super attentive to each pup’s unique needs. I’m mindful of my habits and surroundings to make sure accidents don’t happen—even when things are unpredictable!
“Savannah was absolutely fantastic! Responsive and attentive, she looked after my Bengal and he looked like I’d never left. 10/10 would ask her to assist when I’m out of town again! Thanks Savannah!”
“Best pet sitter ever! She even took the time to dry my dog off because it rained on him and she didn’t want him to be cold. She is a great communicator and I know my dog is in great hands.”
