About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and own a large German shepherd of my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me! Currently freelancing so I can be flexible with part and full time sitting duties depending on your needs and schedule. Let me know what works best for you! Pets are looked after consistently as if they are my own. As a work from home person, I am completely available and ready to assist.
“Would recommend Samantha to anyone! Does an amazing job with my mini dachshund puppy, sends frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and I know my pup is in good hands 💕”

“Brian is the best! We are so lucky to have found him. He’s very sweet with our dog and we appreciate his kind heart and flexibility with our schedule and our lil guy Max. Wonderful sitter”

“Returning again for Tiffany because Max seems so happy in her care while we had some last minute family stuff. Tiffany is always so kind and we love the updates she provides with our lil guy! We feel at ease as puppy parents and we will absolutely continue to consider Tiffany when she has availability ✨🐾”

“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”


About: I’ve basically grown up in a zoo! My family has always had animals around— multiple dogs, birds, turtles, fish, a cat, and at one point even 13 guinea pigs. Because of that, I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and am very comfortable around pets with different personalities and needs. Dogs have always been my favorite. When I was a kid, my sisters and I even started our own little “doggy daycare” for neighborhood dogs, which was honestly one of the highlights of my childhood. Today, my family has three dogs, and I love spending time with them whenever I’m home. Since I’m now living in San Diego and my family is in Los Angeles, I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. Rover gives me the chance to spend time with dogs, help pet owners in the community, and do something I genuinely enjoy. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own family pets. Just graduated from USD, so I have lots of availability and free time to be with your pup pretty much every hour of the day! I live in an apartment with no pets, but plenty of pet friendly furniture! I would frequently take the dogs out on neighborhoods walks, out to the park, or even the beach depending on the dog and owner preferences! I also live less than a block away from the Humane Society, in case of an emergency!
About: I believe that a happy dog in the home is essential and a precursor to a happy life overall, and I strive to bring the same attentiveness and care that I share with my own pup to any pets I have the privilege of taking care of through my services on Rover. When we meet the basic needs of our precious companions throughout the day, we have more freedom to bond with them, and them with us, and that’s where I come in! I want to help you meet your home pet care needs and goals so you can feel confident that when you come home after a busy day, you are coming home to a dog or a cat that is happy and well taken care of. I want to ensure that your pet’s routines stay intact, that they get plenty of exercise when needed, that they stay safe, and it is a joy to me to provide that service! I work from home, and my day is already built around caring for a dog. Morning walk first thing, breakfast, play, a walk around 5:30 for dinner, evening walk before bed, with attention and rest woven in between. I follow instructions exactly, keep your pet's routine intact, send photo updates, and treat your home and your dog's space the way I'd want someone to treat mine. On walks, I match the pace to the dog, calm dogs get a relaxed walk, energetic ones we stay moving, and I stay attentive to reactivity triggers and adjust accordingly.
“I'm so happy I found Brannon on here. He's so kind and caring, and my little guy gets excited when he sees him. I can tell Brannon truly loves and cares about animals and gives them the love and attention they deserve. I highly recommend him!”

About: Hello! I am an extreme pet lover of all kinds! I treat my own as if she were human and respect all animals as such! Your furbabies will be in the best of hands and have the time of their life! I am very accustomed to dealing with pet anxiety as well and I am very proactive with keeping owners updated and reassured and calm about their pets stay away from home! I grew up all my life with animals and like to think I can effectively communicate with them and help ease their anxiety. My own dog suffers from depression anxiety and we have learned to manage and cope in the most natural ways possible! I am beyond excited to meet your babies!!! I love having animals around me at all times so this app is a dream come true for me too!!! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so I have all the opportunity to tend to all fur babies adequately and with ease! I ensure each fur baby is never lacking in love and affection, as well as prioritizing each individual dietary needs and safety precautions! I treat them as if they are my own and will miss them when they’re gone!
“Gaby was great with my dog Moose! She is super flexible with schedules and goes out of her way to be accommodating. Such a fun person and my dog loves her! Loved the picture/video updates she sent throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“Xochitl did an amazing job with our two pugs! Pugs are needy and she handled them brilliantly. She was patient and understanding even though they were more to handle than her usual dogs. I will book with her again, if she'll have us!”


“Ashley was a lifesaver for our last-minute daycare needs. She kindly accepted on short notice, and when we picked Teddy up, he seemed as comfortable as if he’d been with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely a 5-star sitter!”

“Michelle provided such great care of my little furbaby. It was Chippy’s first stay with anyone, and she made me feel so at ease, communicated with me, and sent pictures! Chippy says “woof woof” which means he had fun!! 🐶 thank you Michelle! 🥰”

“Andre was great! Booked him on short notice, felt so comfortable leaving my boys with him. Our Adonis is recovering from surgery and he accommodated to his needs. Will definitely use his service again!”

“Michael and his wife were absolutely wonderful taking care of our older dog Rex. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable leaving Rex with him for the day. Rex came home tired and full from all his walks and treats! We were so happy to see all the photos and videos while we were gone. I can’t say enough great things! Thanks so much and I’m sure he would love to come over again soon:)”

“Anne and her family were wonderful right off the bat ! I immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving our new puppy with her ! She was always quick to respond with my questions before and during my puppy’s visit! We will definitely reach out again !”

Old Town dog parents share their Rover experiences
If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.

We did a doggy daycare with Kimberly. Kimberly was very flexible with pickup/drop-off times and very responsive to messages. Our pup had a great time! He was very comfortable and had fun playing with Kimberly. We’re looking forward to our boarding stay with Kimberly.

Came into town for a mini staycation but wanted to watch a baseball game and needed a dog sitter. I reached out to Jerry & Silky and they were the perfect fit. First time booking for a dog sitter too!! I dropped off a happy dog and picked up a happy dog. She was cuddled and went on a walk. I enjoyed all the photos too to show it!

I would absolutely recommend having your pup stay with Evan and Julia. Our dog Benny had a wonderful time with them (dog park included!) and I knew he was in good hands while we were exploring San Diego. If we are back in SD we will definitely reach out to them, Benny had such a blast. Thank you!!

Samantha was great with my little one! She was super communicative and accommodating when I had a last minute time adjustment. Friendly, sent pictures, and reached out throughout the day just letting me know how the stay was going. Recommend and will be bringing my little one around regularly :)

Janet is such a wonderful dog sitter! She is experienced with small dogs and small dog care (which is not always easy to find). My small young playful Pomeranian loved her and I could tell she felt at home and comfortable in Janet’s home. She is a great communicator, provided picture updates, updated the app details, and was on point with my dog’s care. The surrounding area around her apt is dog friendly and safe. I recommend her and look forward to using her services again.
