“We loved having our dogs stay with Martin. He was so kind and responsive. Our dogs are so calm now back at home so that tells me they were stimulated while there.”
“Linda was amazing and so sweet! She accommodated us last minute and took such great care of our babies! We will definitely be booking Linda for all of our future pet sits!”
“Hands down absolutely the best. I’ve never left my baby with non-family but they took amazing care of Steve, with daily photos and updates, and even stayed up late to make sure I could pickup my baby as soon as I got home. What an awesome experience to find someone like Lisa who I can trust & highly recommend!”
“Even though it was a last minute reservation, Brandon and Mya were very accommodating! They went out of their way to schedule a meet and greet, which I greatly appreciated! Hank had a great time, and enjoyed playing with their dog Blaze! I received daily pictures and would definitely recommend Brandon and Mya!”

I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Mark was great. 5* … No notes.”
“Danielle and her family were so amazing to my fur baby. This was my first time using rover and she was so patient to answer all of my questions. My puppy had a great time playing with the other dogs and Danielle kept me updated with pictures and videos. It definitely made me feel so comfortable to have my Lola in her care. I hope to rebook in the future!”

“Pumpkin had a wonderful time with Jay! He was happy when we picked him up and looked almost like he didn't want to leave. Would use Jay to dogsit again!”

“Erica was fabulous with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog since injuring her spine a couple months ago and this was the first time leaving my best friend with someone. Erica immediately made me feel comfortable with her calmness, her knowledge of special needs dogs and her preparation to take care of my dog. I look forward to rebooking again with Erica.”

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs in both short- and long-term stays. One experience included staying at a client’s home for an entire month—during that time, I made sure to walk their dog regularly, send photo updates, take him to the park, and even explore fun spots around the city together. I’ve also been trusted to fly to New York to dog sit for 10 days, where I kept the owners updated daily with photos, playtime highlights, and little recaps of what their dog was up to. I love creating fun, safe, and loving experiences for every dog I care for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being active and outdoors. I love taking long walks—whether it’s exploring a dog-friendly park, strolling along the beach, or finding new places to sniff and play. Spending quality time with dogs is something I look forward to, and I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun during our time together. Whether I’m caring for a dog short-term or for an extended stay, I’m always excited to include them in my daily adventures. Before I begin pet sitting, I always take the time to learn everything I can about the dog’s needs. I ask about any allergies, medical history, daily routines, and behavior quirks to make sure I provide the best care possible. I also make sure I have emergency contact info and the location of the dog’s primary vet, just in case anything unexpected happens. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—keeping their routine as consistent as possible, with lots of play, attention, and regular photo updates for peace of mind.

Rancho San Diego dog parents share their Rover experiences
Berenice is incredible kind and has a genuine care and love for dogs! We booked an 5 day stay for our 14yo cocker. Berenice sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing which was comforting as we don’t typically leave our dog, especially now in his old age. Would rebook anytime and highly recommend.
Our boy loved staying with Madison! He was well cared for and loved during his stay. We will definitely bring him back again!
Absolutely overjoyed to have found Charlie on Rover. He's so calm, so attentive and kept me assured that my pitiful pitty was doing absolutely fine while I traveled. It really did put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using him again in the future. My boy Tank seemed very relaxed, confident, and happy to stay with Charlie.
Nancy was great. She sent an update and pic on my pup every day. She was very flexible, gave my pup walks, and even a bath. I would recommend Nancy for your fur baby needs.
Kristen was great! We did a meet and greet before our pup was scheduled to stay with her. And that went well. While staying with Kristen she sent pictures and videos which we greatly appreciated. When we picked our pup up he looked great. I’m almost certain she must have given him a bath and his little nose crust was gone. Lol. 10/10 would recommend and with another trip coming up soon we know who to book with. Thank you so much Kristen you were amazing!
My dog LOVES Virginia! He's always happy to see her, and always calm and relaxed when I pick him up. She sends pictures throughout his stay and he looks content, well cared-for, and like he's having lots of fun!
We are so lucky to have found Erica for our dog’s vacation. It was the first time our dog stayed overnight with somebody that wasn’t family, but we knew immediately that Erica was the perfect fit. She’s knowledgeable, caring and obviously loved our Eli. She also updated us throughout the week with tons of pictures. Thank you Erica!!!
Jeffrey was fantastic, great communication, sent updates and videos everyday. We look forward to using Jeffrey in the future knowing our dog will be in great hands!
He was great with my boys. Very communicative throughout their stay. They both got home and went straight to sleep so I know they had a good time.
Olivia and her family were very friendly and could tell our pups felt comfortable during our meet and greet. Olivia was very communicative and sent pictures. Thank you for taking great care of our boys!
Tiffany was absolutely amazing! Our pup Cali absolutely loved her and her family. We are so thankful to her for taking such good care of our girl while out of town! She made us feel comfortable and confident that Cali was in the best care - while keeping us up to date and always reachable! Cannot recommend Tiffany enough!
Our energetic 2 year old lab had the best time playing with the family. He came home happy and tired after running around the neighborhood park. He received lots of attention. He will be going back soon for another play day. Thank you!
Stacy and her husband Gary were beyond amazing! They took such good care of our dog, sent us pictures and videos, and even wrote us a personalized note at pickup. They are a lovely family, and I will absolutely be using them again. You can completely trust Stacy and Gary to care for your dog as if they were their own. Highly recommend!
