“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”

“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”

“Dana has an immediately obvious love of dogs. It was our first day care visit and I left with no concerns. Picked up our little Minnie who was happy and groomed up. So excited to have someone like Dana to leave my dog with when needed. Thanks Dana!”

“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”

About: We have a 6 year old male golden retriever who loves to play ball, nap on the couch and snuggles from his little sisters. He was a rambunctious puppy, so we took dog training classes and he is now a well mannered gentleman. I get to stay at home with my 2 kids (under 4 years old), so we have plenty of time to play and give attention to your dog. You can rest assured your dog will be in the care of a loving family and not left by himself all day long. We have a fenced acre of land for your pup to play. Our Golden Retriever loves company of other dogs and we toss the ball for him everyday. If your dog is small we will keep him on a leash when outside in the yard and they will never be left unattended as there is a small gap in the front gates. We would be happy to take your dogs for a walk on a leash. Your dog is welcome in our home!
“Sarah is amazing and has an excellent knowledge of animal behavior which makes her especially good with my puppy as she is learning how to be a well behaved dog and these early months are so important for her to learn to be the best dog she can be. I love that Clairee has supervised play with Sarah’s other dogs as socializing is so important. I can’t express enough how happy I am to have found Sarah. It’s like striking gold. My Clairee comes home very happy and content. Sarah sends me updates throughout the day with pictures and notes of how the day is going and I get a report of her elimination and intake. I highly recommend Sarah, she is superb!!”

“Michele was amazing! We needed a very flexible rover for day care services throughout our wedding weekend and she made everything so easy for us. She was a great communicator, provided us with updates and was so sweet to our pup!”


“Nadia was very helpful watching our two dogs. Great updates and pictures and you can tell she loves dogs. We've already dropped them off twice and I'm sure they'll get to hang out with Auntie Nadia again soon!”
About: Hi! I’m Becca, a Marine Corps veteran and full-time college student. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic and have experience providing advanced pet care, including administering oral and injectable medications and basic animal first aid. My boyfriend, who lives with me, is also a Marine Corps veteran and fellow animal lover who helps with pet care when needed. We also have access to Camp Pendleton for pick-ups and drop-offs! Since my classes are mostly online, I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to play with or spend time with your pup. You can trust that your pets will never be left alone under my care! We live on a quiet 1.5 acre mountaintop property with no nearby neighbors. While most of the property is unfenced, the perimeter has natural barriers including a creek, and pets are never outside unsupervised. For added peace of mind, I also carry pet sitting insurance.
“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”

“Natalie was great with our pup! Great communication and we got constant updates with pictures throughout the day. Our pup got a lot of outdoor time which she loves. She even gave us a written report card of what Sadie did throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I am a reliable and dedicated dog sitter with six years of experience. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. I take time to make sure each dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I enjoy being surrounded by dogs and learning new things along the way, I strive to create a positive environment where pets can relax and feel secure as if they were at home. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving a pet with a sitter. That’s why I focus on being dependable, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dogs are happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Through my years of experience, I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable working with energetic dogs that require frequent exercise as well as calmer or older dogs that need a slower pace and more patience. My responsibilities have included feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining secure spaces for puppies and seniors, ensuring clean water and bedding, daily walks, monitored playtime, leash training, kennel training, connecting with anxious or aggressive dogs, etc. I have also gained experience understanding dog body language and behavioral cues. This has helped me recognize when a dog may be stressed, excited, tired, or in need of attention. Being attentive to these signals allows me to respond appropriately and provide care that fits each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure and relaxed while in my care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, which is why I prioritize reliability, communication, and respect. I make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is being well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. Overall, my experience caring for animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and I strive to provide a safe, attentive, and positive environment where every dog feels comfortable and loved. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and constant supervision. Throughout the week, I intentionally set aside time for dog care activities such as walks, outdoor breaks, enrichment, and quality interaction. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so taking dogs on walks or letting them explore safely is something that fits easily into my lifestyle. This allows me to provide pets with both physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition to basic care, I also make time to simply spend quality time with the pets I watch. Whether it’s playing, giving attention, or keeping them company, I believe dogs benefit from having someone present who is patient and engaged with them. I try to make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I am used to maintaining structured care routines, which is important for helping dogs stay relaxed while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure pets always have fresh water, and ensure they get regular bathroom breaks and exercise. Sticking to their normal routine helps dogs feel safe and reduces unnecessary stress. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main goal is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. Maintaining a familiar routine helps pets feel safe and reduces stress while their owners are away. In terms of boarding in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where dogs have space to relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, daily walks, and time for exercise and mental stimulation. I also monitor them closely to ensure they are comfortable and adjusting well to the new environment. When house sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s care exactly how they are used to it. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship while also keeping the home clean with respect to the owner’s space. Staying in the pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed while their owner is away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they are comfortable and happy. If a dog is more energetic, I make sure they get enough activity. If they are older or more relaxed, I adjust the care to be calm and patient. Communication is very important to me while caring for pets. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and happy. My goal is to give pets reliable and attentive care.
“Brittany and her husband were great. Dino was tuckered out after playing all day with her pups. She was waiting outside with Dino without the expectation to have him ready when we said we were coming. I would book with her again.”

About: Used to sit 15+ dogs at once for full days. Always got great reviews and love from the owners and pets. A great choice for you and your pup. Lost one of my pups unexpectedly this year and could use the extra work and puppy love 🫶🏻 (Also a professional photographer! Hire me to get a free photoshoot!) 📸🐶 I’m currently freelancing photography and it’s the slow season, so I have lots of time for your pets! They will be loved as if they are my own. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I also usually end up taking high-quality, professional photos of the pets that I watch as a free bonus! Very quick learner, respectful and responsible. Will treat your home with care and respect and make sure it is in better condition than when I arrived. And of course your dog will have the time of their life!

“Pugsley always has such an amazing time with Carrie! He gets so excited when I pull up to her house. She takes such great care of my baby & sends me lots of photos to show what he's up to. :)”

Pala Mesa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Eman and Robby were SO fantastic and gracious taking care of our 6 month old Aussie! This was the first time we left her for the day, and they were so wonderful in sending updates, pictures, and videos! They took her on walks, played fetch, and made sure she was comfortable the whole day. When we came to pick her up, she wanted to stay and play more! We’re so excited that we found Eman and Robby, and Meadow is looking forward to staying with them again!!
