“TLDR; Alexandra is an amazing pet sitter and I am so grateful she was able to take care of my senior girls. She stayed with my girls and was super attentive with many photo updates as I was away. 100% recommend her for you senior dog boarding/walking needs. I had some work trips and a personal trip planned for the week and my other pet sitter moved back to the east coast. I had to find someone and came across Alexandra's profile. She came over for a meet and greet and my girls warmed up to her right away. I have senior dogs and one of them is blind and needs eye drops to keep her eyes. Alexandra was super detailed and made sure to follow all directions and text me with any questions she had. She was always on time, always responded fast and my girls were extremely comfortable the whole time I was gone, which was really important for me. At this point in my dogs lives I just want them to be comfortable and keep their daily routine unchanged, which Alexandra did to a T. I would 100% recommend Alexandra to take care of your senior dogs. She has the demeanor, candor and attention to detail that someone who cares about their dogs will want. You won't be disappointed!”

“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.”

“Anjelica housesat with our cat and dog for a week and was great! Came back to the house super clean and our girls happy. Will absolutely hire her again and recommend!”

“Mia was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She followed all instructions perfectly and sent regular updates (including adorable photos).”

“Jaylen did an amazing job with our pups while we were out of town! She followed their routine to a T and made sure to send us updates regularly. We know who to reach out should we need help again in the future. Thank you Jaylen!”

About: The family pet/s has always been my favorite part of any party. I am a firm believer that all animals deserve compassion, respect, and most importantly, belly rubs. I'm currently enrolled in college and am working more flexible jobs in order to dedicate time to my education, but my schedule has plenty of room for your furry friend! Every animal has their own personality and quirks, and I am delighted to accommodate and entertain any that yours may have in addition to providing food, walks, and attention whenever wanted.
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!
About: Hello everyone my name is Arantxa and I am jazzed about critters of all types but particularly dogs, cats and rabbits, oh my! I volunteered at the Chula Vista Animal Shelter for two years, have owned over 10 pups of my own, and regularly help care for the pets of several people in my community who suggested I try Rover since I love this work so much. :•) Dogs are a big passion of mine and I would be absolutely delighted to get to know your furry friend and their needs! I used to own many dogs and would love to incorporate more animals into my every day. Caring for animals feels like life is light! I have a fenced yard and can walk for many hours on end with furry creatures while giving them ample opportunities to sniff the world!
“Jackie was excellent - very communicative, caring, trustworthy. No issues at all and she left the house in very good condition. Dogs were well cared for and I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her again!”

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He’s usually scared and anxious with strangers but he warmed up quickly with Emma. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the day.”

About: Hi, I’m Alex — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My two beloved furry companions recently passed, and caring for animals has always been such a meaningful part of my daily life. Opening my heart and home to other pets feels like a beautiful way to continue sharing that love, connection, and joy. I have experience with: • Puppies through senior dogs • High-energy and working breeds • Medication routines and special care needs • Long walks, trail adventures, and playtime that keeps pups happy and fulfilled
About: Hi there, my names James and I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years. I’m a disabled Marine who loves caring and helping animals. I’m also a certified vet assistant, who not to toot my own horn, is amazing at what they do. I’ve pet/kid watch for a couple of friends with never an issue. I also foster animals for a local agency in San Diego. (SCDR). So if I’m in your area and your kids want some park time or walk time please let me know 😊🙏 As of right now me and my kids are usually at the dog park by 8:30 am, and than we go in the evening before dinner 4-5 pm. Also I have a truck so hauling multiple pets has never been an issue 😊🙏 My yard is fenced, but other than that they can roam the home 😊 water is always available indoors so it’s cool. There’s always a comfy spot to lay as well. Bones and Balls galore as well 😊
“Monica is amazing! From the first meet and greet we had with myself and my dog, I could tell immediately she is kind, attentive and reliable. I got regular updates and photos during her stay with my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup. She is truly gifted with animals and it shows!! Thank you Monica! Highly recommend reaching out to her :)”


“Claudia is wonderful! We are so happy and grateful that she is able to watch our fur baby Lola when we can’t. This weekend was our daughter’s wedding and we had so much peace of mind knowing that our Lola was being well taken care of. Claudia is very kind, loving and patient . She goes out of her way to make sure that Lola is happy and comfortable. We love that Claudia can watch Lola in our home where she has her normal routine and surroundings. At 14 years of age we love that Claudia is so gentle and caring to our girl. She is an amazing sitter always communicating with us through photos and updates throughout the day! We absolutely love Claudia and can’t wait for our next vacation.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 6 years old. My family plus my extended family has always had dogs. I’ve baby sat dogs since I was in elementary school and I love to play and walk with dogs 🐶. Outside of the parents I will be your dog’s new best friend 😁 I’m a part-time ER nurse so I only work twice/week. I try to be as outdoorsy as I can and I’d love to have a good doggo companion to go for walks/runs with Dogs are family. Dogs here will be treated as such. I’ve always fed my dogs on a consistent schedule (your dog will eat on whatever schedule you want them fed) and I will take them for walks and I have a yard where dogs can run free and crazy!
“I cannot recommend Joanne enough! I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped in to take amazing care of my dogs. She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and my dogs absolutely adored her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking Joanne any time I need a sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs starting at the age of 12. I bathed, fed, loved on, and walked them. Can’t wait to gain your trust in taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and this is a way for me to get back into the job force. I’ll be available anytime. I love animals and can’t wait to gain your trust. I’m offering to stay at the client’s house that way there dog(s) can be in a familiar environment and not have to worry about adapting to a change in scenery. I believe that will decrease any risk of stress added to your pets.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs over the years (and recently a young cat) between my own dog, family pets, roommate’s puppies and kittens. My senior staffie lived to almost 16 yo and required a lot of love and care in her final years. I raised her plus help dog sit for family and friends of dogs of all ages. From puppy to senior dogs, I love them all. My old roommate’s cat turned me into a cat lover over the last year of getting to have a kitten in the house, learning their funny behaviors and becoming knowledgeable about cat specific behaviors, illnesses, etc to look out for which made me a cat aunt now! Currently there is a 70 lb Staffy in the home who I adopted over a year ago. She is a tank, but also a big baby and likes (most) other dogs and tolerates/runs away from cats lol. Your pet would need to be crate trained to stay with us as extra precautions for my dog & their safety. I work in the field and from home about 60/40 in home remodel. So if your dog is good in the car and you’re comfortable with it, I’m able to take them with me for rides often times during the day, during the week. Otherwise weekends and evenings I am home the majority of the time. I live in an 1100sf condo with a good sized patio and area for dog potty breaks, fully fenced. I want your pets to feel like they are at home & will treat them as such. Being in a new place can be scary when mom & dad are away, so my goal is to make them as comfortable as possible. :)

We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.

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!

This is the second time Kaitlin has looked after Lola. The day before our trip, Lola had a problem with her eye, and the vet prescribed drops. Kaitlin reassured us that she was in good hands. She was so patient and loving with Lola. She administered the drops and sent us pictures and updates. Her eye was getting better and better! We were able to enjoy our son's graduation and return home with a happy dog! Kaitlin is the best! I'm so glad we found her!

Emma was wonderful with my pets! My cat is shy around strangers and also is diabetic. He warmed up to Emma quickly, and she gave him his insulin shots without a problem. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. When you're on vacation, seeing them, even in pictures, is important!
Frances provided exceptional care for our two senior dogs, including one recovering from illness. She took detailed notes about the medication schedule before we left, then kept us updated, so we knew she'd gotten her meds. She left our house spotlessly clean - even cleaner than we'd left it! Frances followed all our instructions perfectly and sent updates exactly as requested. We'd absolutely love to have her watch our dogs and home again!

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!
