“Aj was so great with my dog Archie! Aj was attentive to Archie’s needs, so kind to him, and Archie immediately loved him. We will definitely use Aj again!”

“Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.”

“Laura did an absolutely fantastic job with my foster dog. She took him for walks over lunch and spent a few extra minutes with him to ensure he was comfortable. She was communicative, sent pictures, gave thorough updates, and most importantly made sure he was safe. I will absolutely use Laura again in the future!”

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding and daycare for almost 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel and currently at a daycare in Poway. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, and other small animals. My kennel experience has given me a ton of knowledge of dog behavior, body language, and safe handling techniques. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, and loved! My schedule works best for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m in school during the mornings and work part-time a few days a week, but I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m reliable with routines and always make time for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with each pet. In some cases, I may be able to bring dogs with me to my work (a supervised doggy daycare), which can be great for social dogs, just ask if you’re interested! I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away
“Our dog is very timid, so we arranged for Danielle and Koco to meet prior to the first walk. Even though Koco was too shy to go on the walk with Danielle, she tried to encourage her, spent time with her at home, communicated and sent photos to me during her visit. Thank you, Danielle!”

About: Hi, I’m Valerie! I’ve had pets my entire life as well as over 8 years of professional experience working in the animal industry (as a pet groomer, pet boarding kennel tech, and PETCO small animal & aquatics specialist). I have experience caring for most species, including pets with medical needs, special diets, anxiety, senior care needs, and specific routines. I currently work with children as a Speech Therapist in a Montessori school, and provide pet care during summer breaks. Since I am on break, I will be home and available all day for your pets! My husband and I are childless and live in a cozy, quiet house in Rancho Penasquitos. I can help with feeding, walking, drop-ins, boarding/sitting services, medication administration, litter care, playtime, companionship, and keeping your pet's routine consistent while you’re away. Any additional needs, just let me know! I am happy to accommodate you and your pet in any way. I am a Speech-Language Therapist currently working with children in a Montessori school.

My husband and I are childless and live in a cozy, quiet house in Rancho Penasquitos with our senior cat Meeka. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them calm, safe, and comfortable. I watch for changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, hiding, or other signs of stress. I’m respectful of each client’s home and careful with doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and home security. Please let me know any specific safety concerns so I can care for your pet properly.

About: I have taken care of my friends dog and also have had pets my entire life (cats, rabbits, birds) and are family to me. I have fed my friend's dog while they were away and am aware of important items that are needed for dogs such as: treats, litter box, leash, medicine, toys, and carriers. I am patient and am good at picking up on dog body language. Picking up on these things such as tail wagging, rolling over and signs of stress has enabled me to beter serve the dog I was taking care of. I am currently working full time in the evenings from 3 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. I would love to use my available time to take care of dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I care for my pets at home by creating a stimulating environment for them to play, rest and explore. I also make sure to proof my home so that pets are safe.

“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”

About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 5 years, as well as currently being a full time Veterinary Assistant. I am really involved and want to make sure your pets feel well taken care of and have an enriching time when they’re with me. My schedule varies from week to week, but I make sure to only take requests when I’m not needed at my employment at the animal hospital. I want to make sure that you feel comfortable, and so I always want to make sure I get all the information from you on the routine of your pet and what they prefer.
About: I have loved animals my entire life. Growing up I never had my own dog, but I always loved every dog around me. I got a dog in high school and have only grown the pack since. My 3 dogs who I have trained since they were 8 weeks old are well trained and extremely loving. Caring for animals comes as a second nature to me and I try to make every animal feel loved and happy with every interaction. I care for my animals every day, morning and night. They are fed twice a day, taken to get exercised at least once a day, and loved all the time. - I also do some maintenance grooming and bathing every couple of weeks. I let my animals run around and take their time going potty, sniffing around, and getting their wiggles out. This includes hanging out in a fenced yard, going to the dog park, taking hikes/walks, or running around in large safe areas.
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets since I was very young. I love animals and children and getting to work with them, and they also love me!

I am flexible with all hours and can work around your schedule as needed. I treat your pets and your home just as I would mine. I will give your fur babies and your personal space the love and respect they deserve. We will go over any rules and boundaries ahead of time so I can ensure I follow them. If you ever have any issues you can bring them to my attention right away.
About: For the past 2 years I have not only been dog sitting for family and friends, but I have been volunteering at shelters and adoption events allowing me to have experience with all types of pets. My dream has been on becoming a veterinarian and becoming a future dog owner, on my free time I spend it on looking into the best options on ensuring good health in dogs. I will be able to ensure pet care on weekends, I currently have a part time job during the weekdays and at the moment do now know my schedule for those days. I have access to 2 dog parks near my house along with other open parks with lots of space for your pet to roam. With me they will always have access to anything necessary to make them feel loved and happy. In your home I will make sure to follow through any rules you have set for your property and your pet keeping you and your pet feeling safe even while your away.
“My dog does not do well with boarding and can be standoffish and barky with new people. We hired Tianyi to come 3x per day for a walk when we were away and to make sure our dog's food and water were set. She was so great with our dog. She gave us updates and pictures. When we came home our dog was happy and excited and was in good health and spirits. We will definitely use Tianyi again! I highly recommend her.”

“Great experience with Jeanette walking my dog. She responded to my request for a late-notice walk in a timely fashion and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process!”

Rancho Penasquitos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Laura once again is wonderful! She consistently comes at the same time each day to take my foster dog out for a walk during lunch. Laura monitors what each dog’s abilities are and then adjusts the walk as needed, e.g., slowing down when my senior dog needs a bit of a break and hanging out in a grassy area. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and truly enjoys her time with the dogs.

Bella has been walking and checking in on our pup for months! She is an excellent communicator and she always responds to our questions and care instructions that we provide. Bella provides lots of pictures and updates during her visits - which we really love!!
