“Eylana was very responsive and reliable. She watched our dog Lily at our house for the weekend, when we ended up staying out of town longer than anticipated, she was flexible and cared for Lily another night. Didn’t have to worry at all, she sent pics and updates all weekend.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I was a little nervous at first, but Jalen made the entire process easy and stress-free. He was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care for my puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my Oli was in good hands. I am beyond happy with the service Jalen provided and will definitely be booking with him again.”

“Alex did a super job. She asked good questions to understand my pup better, and was very attentive to her throughout the day. I look forward to using Alex’s services again real soon.”

About: I have loved all kinds of animals (especially furry ones) as long as I can remember! Growing up, I could always be found with a cat on my lap or petting someone else’s. I believe when we bring a pet into our life— they become a family member and deserve to be treated with the best care possible, especially because they bring us so much joy and have only us for their lifetime. I will provide your furry one with just as much love as I’d give my own pet, be attentive to their unique needs and personality, and make sure they feel safe and happy so you can be sure they are the best of care when you can’t be there. Currently, I’m available as needed- morning, noon, or night! Whatever your need is, please feel free to reach out to me and if I am available, I will be happy to be of service for your furry friend! At this time, I am only able to care for your pet in your home. I will be sure to follow your instructions to a T. If I see they are nervous or anxious, I will give them the space they need while making sure they know that I am a friendly soul open to whatever they may need.
“Mia was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She followed all instructions perfectly and sent regular updates (including adorable photos).”

“Shannon is the greatest sitter! She is so kind, sweet and loving. Shannon house sat for me and took care of Roxy for an entire day. She helped me when I was in a pinch! Roxy and I had a successful meet and greet with her the day before. Roxy loves her! Shannon gave me both picture and text updates throughout the day. She really had to navigate Roxy's nuances and personality since it was their first sit together and Roxy has separation anxiety. When I came home Roxy was very happy and not in distress which shows me that she had a great day. I will definitely be booking Shannon again!”

“Ashlee was an amazing pet/house sitter! We have 3-challenging dogs that took to her right away (A RARE THING) for this group! We were able to relax and enjoy our 8-day trip knowing that they were in good hands. It's been a very long time (years and years) since we could all go away together WITHOUT the dogs. Thank you Ashlee. We could't say enough positive things about you. We are relieved to have someone we can truly count on to care for our dogs and house! 10 STARS!”

“Emma was truly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was extremely mindful, respectful, kind and patient with my dog. She genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and does a great job. I was getting consistent updates though out the day and I loved it.”

“Sylvia did an excellent job taking care of my senior dog! She kept me updated with pictures and texts. She left my home in beautiful condition. Would highly recommend.”

About: ∧,,,∧ ( ̳• · • ̳) / づ♡ Hi amazing pet parents please make sure to see my availability/calendar before sending a request! Thank you so very much❗️ Ever since I was 5 years old I have known the unconditional love and joy animals and pets bring to people and especially to me. At 6 years old I got my first boarding experience with a German Shepherd named Emma, who I fell completely in love with and was sad to give her back after. I have had the most experience with puppies and dogs my whole life but I have just recently become a new cat mama and we truly have an unbreakable bond. I will show gentle love and care for all your fur babies making sure they are always in loving, cherished and safe hands. 🪽💞🐾 I am almost always in my house all day I work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies during the week and weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe and loved in their own environment. I’ll respect your home, follow all instructions closely, and keep things calm and clean. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving extra cuddles, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I’ll also send regular updates and photos to keep you at ease!
“She was wonderful! Very communicative with updates and pictures. Dogs were clearly well taken care of and happy! She even left everything very clean and left us a sweet note. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 10 years. I’m fluent in woof! I respect home guidelines & pet routine structures. Experienced with short or long walks, cuddles, playtime, medication schedules, petting, brushing (coat and teeth), bathing, cleaning paws after walks, I feed them what you provide or become your pets fav chef. I’m welcome to pets sleeping with me or without me. Attentive and aware of behaviors signaling illness or sadness. I can communicate with you regularly or when necessary. I follow potty schedules or watch your pet for routine signals. If I’m sitting more than one dog, I do like to take notes to make sure everyone is on schedule. I am very flexible. I am currently studying for the Real Estate exam. I moved to San Diego from Chicago to pursue my dream. Filling any daily free time with a furry (or bald) buddy would be wonderful. I do daily morning and evening guided meditations. I do enjoy meditation audio-waves throughout the day. I listen while I study or simply doing tasks around the house. If your pet wouldn’t mind joining me on my journey, I would love to play my soothing sounds on my speaker for us to enjoy. I will be with your pet at all times while I’m home (unless told otherwise) If you have a fenced yard, I can let them roam alone or I can join them to play with them or study while they sun bathe. I always lock all doors. If I had to step away to run errands I will make sure doors are secured, set alarms, etc. I would never leave your pet if I know it would interfere with their schedule. House sitting rules for myself: clean up after myself and your pet. I’m not a house keeper, but I do like to keep things clean for my own comfort. You can call me at any time during my stay and I will answer. I send pictures and pet butler task updates if you prefer.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals—paired with a calm, patient approach that pets respond to. I don’t just watch pets; I build trust with them. Whether it's helping a nervous pup feel safe, administering medications to a senior dog, or maintaining consistent routines for multi-pet households, I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening check-ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability for every pet I care for. I build my schedule around the needs of each animal, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their routine and reduces stress. In My Home: I provide a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel at ease. I follow their feeding, walking, and sleeping routines closely, offer supervised playtime, and ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. I also separate pets when needed for safety and comfort, and I keep a clean, secure environment with pet-proofed areas. In the Client’s Home: I treat the space with respect and care while maintaining the pet’s familiar environment. I stick to their established schedule, including meals, walks, medication, and playtime. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents feel connected and confident while they’re away. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care so each pet feels loved and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for about 4 years and I have a fur baby of my own as well. He’s 8 months old and absolutely a sweet boy. Your baby is in good Hands. I’m active duty military and my off days are spent with my fur baby and spending time with him. I have a lot of free time so your pet fits perfectly I live in an apartment but it’s very pet friendly and my own fur baby is very friendly so your baby will have company. Your pet will have freedom to roam around freely.

“Mellania has pet sit for us before - this time we asked her to also watch our son’s 1-year old dog who can be quite a bit to handle. She did amazing. She is calm, firm with commands, and ensures all pets are safe and happy. We have a high level of trust with Mellania!”


“I booked last minute and she was quick to reply, friendly and came promptly for meet and greet. I immediate felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her and she stayed with my dogs the whole time, which is what I really wanted, to feel my dogs were completely loved. Thank you is not enough.”

Otay Ranch pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jalen did a good job staying with my dog over the winter holidays. He gave her her anti-seizure meds twice a day, walked her, and sent regular updates. Having an older dog who needs medications, what I cared about the most is her safety, and I felt comfortable leaving her with Jalen.

Eylana took care of 4 dogs in 1 booking and took on the challenge better than a pro! She made sure our “kids” all had their food, pets and walks, but took on the additional needs of the two elderly dogs messy accidents. I would rebook Eylana every time and know my babies are in great hands always. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Nyah is one of the best sitters I’ve had for my dogs! My 2 dogs are nervous around new people and they warmed up very quickly to Nyah. She sent regular updates and took amazing care of the pups! They got lots of walks and cuddles. I would definitely recommend reaching out if you are looking for a great sitter!

Mellania has pet sit for us before - this time we asked her to also watch our son’s 1-year old dog who can be quite a bit to handle. She did amazing. She is calm, firm with commands, and ensures all pets are safe and happy. We have a high level of trust with Mellania!

This was our first experience using Rover and the first time having a dog sitter that wasn't a family member or close friend. And it was seriously the best experience! Emma loved on our fur babies like they were her own. She walked them once or twice a day for 30 min, took pics of them on walks, brushed them multiple times all of her own accord. She sent many pictures and videos of the dogs for my peace of mind and kept us fully updated on everything. I never had to check in or wonder about them at all! She stayed in our house with them, and when we returned, I could barely tell anybody had been here all weekend! We will 100% be using her in the future for our dog sitting needs!
