“Alesha was terrific to meet at our meet and greet. Immediately made us feel comfortable both with leaving our pet with her and also our house. During the pet sitting she gave great updates and some great photos and videos. We returned to a well exercised, well fed and really happy puppy! I could not recommend her highly enough, we will definitely use her services again.”


“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”


“Bella did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Rai! We were on vacation for 2 weeks and were very lucky to have Bella watch him. She quickly picked up on his daily routine and took him on multiple walks every day, and took him to his favorite dog park in the afternoons. She sent us pictures every day during our trip and he looked so happy! Bella kept the house tidy and organized, and gave Rai a bath before we came back so he was clean. It gave our family a big peace of mind to know Rai was being well taken care of and having fun every single day. I highly recommend to have Bella watch over your pet in the future!”


“Absolutely outstanding experience with Jim. We have tried a number of petsitters and never found anyone who was so professional, mature and responsible with our pups and our home. He was just wonderful and we never worried once about our pups being so well taken care of.”


“Tuan went above and beyond! Very responsive, and loving with our pets. Went away for over a week and Tuan took special care of our dog and cat. With loving updates we felt so comfortable that they were in the best of hands. Looking forward to our next sitting with Tuan!”


“Catalina did an amazing job at pet sitting our kitten! She’s quick to respond and kept us updated each day with photos. Would be happy to have her pet sit for us again”


About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.


“Kelcy was amazing. She stayed with our dog in our home and took such great care of her. She sent pictures and updates. I knew our dog was in amazing hands. Highly recommend!”


About: I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Friends often ask me, as their go-to, for pet sitting. Multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats together in the same house, etc. I am currently a weekly dog sitter and walker for my best friend for over a year now! I received a liver transplant that saved my life almost two years ago, and walking was and has been a great recovery activity for me, especially when dogs are included. :) I currently have lots of time to spare! Interacting with animals and being outside is very important to me to lead a joyful life. I have very open availability, especially during the week. I am experienced with crate trained dogs, but I do keep them out the entirety that I am with them and try to provide an engaging interaction with your pets! I understand how important it is to provide your animals with stimulation!

About: Caring for your pet means more than just food and water—it’s about love, attention, and understanding their unique needs. Pets thrive in environments where they feel safe, loved, and cherished. Whether it’s a wagging tail or a gentle purr, the bond that grows stronger through consistent care and compassion. I am currently open to fit your schedule needs. Message me so we can work out a schedule that suites you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I begin by getting to know each animal’s personality, needs, and routines, ensuring a calm and personalized approach. For my clients, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes or playtime routines. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication to offer peace of mind. Above all, I strive to create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

About: I’ve been petsitting/housesitting for 8 years in San Diego CA and when I travel for petsitting. My experience with animals ranges from a wide variety of chickens, goats, pigs, a pet cow, horses, lizards, snakes and turtles as well as; cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes I am available most weekdays for drop ins and walks; with limited weekend availability depending on the week. If my schedule shows I am available through the weekend, then I am! For dog day care or boarding I am the primary caretaker but there are two extra sets of hands available. I currently look from home during this part of the year and have a flexible schedule to accommodate! We have a fully fenced in yard and prefer to take in only one families dogs at a time. If you dog is comfortable with it or prefers it, I am happy to take them on outings with me around town. I live walking distance to a shopping center and a few parks. Safety is very important to me as well as keeping the animals safe. I expect that all dogs and cats I care for to be non aggressive and properly trained to be safe to all in public. If they are not I require that it be disclosed in full and discussed with me prior to the sit, drop in, or walking; I am familiar with and can accommodate almost all behaviors but I do require it to be disclosed before proceeding. My priority is the comfort of your pet within their environment as well as the safety of all within that environment including your pet. If there are any quirks or triggers that your pets exhibit it is expected that they be disclosed when booking a walk, drop in or house sit as they can be accommodated if they are disclosed before the walk/visit. Please disclose if your cat is a frequent scratcher or biter, or if you dog has a rage/bite history for the safety of all parties.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs from puppies to senior doggies. I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of any size. I enjoy spending time with them especially if they need someone around! I am currently taking some time off from my 9-5 and have availability to care for your pet any day of the week including weekends! I would have to care for your pets at your place, I enjoy spending time with them where they’re most comfortable and where their environment is familiar to them.

“Brandi was a great dog sitter. She took excellent care of my pup, with daily care and socialization as well as when Murphy ate something she shouldn’t have! She is trustworthy and communicates well to ensure me that my dog was well cared for.”


“Sarah was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She had great communication and took good care of our fur babies. She was super nice and friendly and our dogs loved her instantly. Would book again!”


“Devin was great! We could tell she really cared about our dog and she was very good about sending us pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again.”


About: I’m a recent college grad with lots of free time looking for extra income while spending time with cute doggies! I have my own 5 year old pomeranian who I absolutely adore!! He has taught me to love other dogs wholly. Your pet will get lots of pets, walks, and anything you’d like with me! I currently don’t have other commitments so I can fit your pet in any time of the week! Weekdays and weekends are all good for me. I will do as much or as little as you need! I can guarantee you that I will respect your space, as well as your pets. I want to provide a service that I would be happy providing for my own pup as well :)

“Mindy was amazing! From the beginning to end, she was flexible, understanding and helpful. She was extremely communicative and took great care of our fur baby and our home. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and would 100% use Mindy again! Thank you again Mindy!”


About: I’ve always grown up in a family full of animals of all different personalities and sizes. From large dogs, to cats, puppies and strays, I’ve had it all. This diverse experience of different breeds and care allows me to help your pet in the way they need. I work a part time job currently so pet care fits into my weekly routine around when I’m scheduled. I can typically work around these hours to visits either before of after my job. I have 2 dogs that are both rescues and have been trained and raised by me since they were puppies. My cat is a rescue as well from when I was fostering kittens with my mom. They are constantly being spoiled with attention and toys. No matter what your pets routine is I would love to follow it as closely as possible to give them the most comfort.

“We love Mary. Our dog loves her morr”


About: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Logan F.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Logan on Rover We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Logan on Rover. From the very beginning, his professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals stood out. We have two dogs—Bruiser, a big lovable goofball who can be a bit of a handful, and Bailey, our more reserved but sweet pup—and Logan has taken care of both with exceptional care, patience, and compassion. One of the first things we noticed about Logan is how quickly he earned Bruiser and Bailey’s trust. Bruiser can be energetic and excitable on walks, while Bailey needs a little extra time to warm up to new people. Logan took the time to get to know their personalities, approached them with warmth and calm energy, and now they both light up the moment they see him walk through the door. Logan doesn’t just “watch the dogs”—he truly cares for them. He sends us thoughtful updates during every visit, including photos and notes about how they’re doing, what they ate, how their walk went, and anything else we might want to know. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing that our dogs are in such good hands. We also really appreciate Logan’s attention to detail. He follows all of our care instructions exactly as asked—whether it’s medication for Bruiser or special feeding needs for Bailey. He’s punctual, responsible, and always respectful of our home. Every time we return, everything is left neat and exactly as we left it (except for the dogs, who are clearly happier after spending time with him!). Perhaps the most telling thing of all is how much Bruiser and Bailey love him. They get so excited to see Logan—it’s obvious that they feel safe, cared for, and loved when he’s around. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were his own, look no further than Logan. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and has a true gift when it comes to working with animals. We trust him completely and highly recommend him to any pet parent looking for top-notch care. Logan is truly a gem! — Marissa”

“Kelcy was amazing. She stayed with our dog in our home and took such great care of her. She sent pictures and updates. I knew our dog was in amazing hands. Highly recommend!”


Kayla K.
“Kayla has been walking my dog twice a week for the past year and I cannot encourage you enough to use her as a resource. My dog Gadget has extremely high anxiety (as is the case with most small dogs) and Kayla was incredible about meeting us before and working to establish a relationship with Gadget. Kayla is extremely empathetic and it shows in her care for animals as well as her respect for people. Gadget has truly grown to love seeing Kayla and she has helped him expand his comfort with new people which is great! Kayla is extremely professional, timely, and fully communicates with me each time she comes by. I am very cautious about who takes care of my pup, and Kayla is the perfect fit! Don’t miss the opportunity to have your pets feel cared for by this amazing human!”


Denise O.
“Denise is kind and patient. She understands dogs and has a calming demeanor with them. Denise is a routine oriented person and is consistent with dogs r routine. I would definitely trust her with my animals.”


Michelle M.
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for Finn! Michelle took amazing care of my senior citizen pitbull on his daily walks when I was running a conference and wasn't able to take him out and during two separate overnight stays when I was out of town. Finn is always so happy to see her! Highly recommend!”

Cayla C.
“Cayla is absolutely amazing! She has watched our two dogs, cat and fish many times. I consider my pets my family. I love them so much and always worry about them. Cayla is always on time and sends pictures of them which makes me happy. Our dogs are not the easiest. We have a 105lb German Shepherd and a 36lb Heeler mix. They love her. Our cat is a liar, he is always trying to go outside. She keeps them all safe. She takes them for walks in the neighborhood and can handle them both. She is always my go to!”


Mary G.

“We love Mary. Our dog loves her morr”


Yangyan Z.
“Yangyan is my friend and she is one of the most thoughtful and reliable pet caregivers I know. I have a long hair cat Q and whenever I took vacation while she is in town I will ask her help to board Q. She has a natural connection with animals and always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My cat is shy and I am surprised she can be so close to Yangyan so quickly and even sleep together. Yangyan has experience caring for both cats and dogs, and she is attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just giving extra snuggles, Yangyan treats every pet like family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Yangyan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry friend. Your pet will be in great hands with Yangyan!”
