About: Hello Rover Family, I just made a big purchase of a farm to let all our fur babies roam around freely without having to worry about other dogs causing issues. It’s over 1 acre! I’m in the process of remodeling, adding kennels, and installing secure fencing. Once this is all done, I cannot wait for boarding to begin and all the fun and exciting adventures that await! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside time each day to play with the dogs, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Feeding times are consistent, and I always keep an eye on their health and well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to grooming and cleaning their living spaces, making sure everything is comfortable and hygienic for them. My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or extra attention they might require. When it comes to safety, trust, and environment, I take several steps to ensure pets are well-cared for, whether in my home or a client's home: Safety: I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, removing any hazards that could harm them. This includes securing loose wires, keeping toxic plants or substances out of reach, and ensuring all doors and windows are secure. Trust: Building trust with pets is crucial. I spend time getting to know them, understanding their behavior, and being consistent with my care. This helps them feel secure and comfortable around me. Environment: I create a comfortable and stimulating environment for the pets. This includes providing cozy sleeping areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space for them to explore and play. I also maintain a clean and hygienic space to ensure their health and well-being. By focusing on these aspects, I ensure that pets feel safe, loved, and happy in any setting.

From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cares for pets as if they were her own. My dog instantly took to her, which says a lot he’s usually shy around new people. Chanel is reliable, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail, from feeding and walks to cuddles and playtime.

Sarrina S.
“Sarrina is such a kind and caring person, especially when it comes to animals. She helped me with my two engergetic Belgian Malinois for several years. She always had patience with them and was very sweet with them. She house sat for me many times, taking care of my two dogs. Feeding them and making sure they got outside for bathroom breaks, as well as playing with them. She is a very responsible person and always followed the directions I left for her. I never worried when Sarrina watched my dogs because she really cares for animals and their owners. Sarrina has been around dogs her whole life and her calm presence is perfect for working with dogs. I could always rely on Sarrina to be on time. The only reason I no longer need her help is because my two dogs have passed away. Otherwise, I would still be asking her for help.”


Stacy R.
“We were so excited when we found our new pet caregiver Stacy. Our dog had such a fun day playing at Stacy’s house, going for a walk, and getting lots of loving attention! We were able to enjoy our day at the Fair knowing our fur baby was being well cared for and was safe while we were gone. I highly recommend using Stacy to care for your pet!”


Nancy L.
“My mom has grown up with dogs all her life and is great with dogs. We had dogs growing up and have one now. Taking care of dogs is second nature.”


Berenice S.
“Berenice has cared for our dogs in several occasions. We have a 2 year old golden retriever (Nova) and a 9 year old Pomeranian (Chloe). The golden has enough energy for 10 dogs so I was worried at the beginning. Luckily, Bere loves dogs and has two golden retrievers that play with mine non-stop. Every time Nova stays at her house, she comes back much more calm and well behave. It's great that she not only gets cared and loved for but she has playmates. Chloe is less than 7 lbs and loves the attention she gets when she's at her home. When they spend the night, I give Bere their dog beds and favorite treats so they feel at home. Thank you Bere! You have been a life saver for our family :)”

Rancho San Diego dog parents share their Rover experiences
Raquel did a great job at walking Beni. She tailored her walking style to my dog and it was amazing to know my pup was in good hands with Raquel. THANK YOU!!
She was awesome, I had some last minute travel come up and she was able to work with me on taking care of my pup. Awesome.

Lucy was very easy to communicate with and she did a wonderful job walking our energetic pup. She provided excellent feedback on how the walk went and appears to truly love the animals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Jacob did amazing with Mollie. She has learned to work with him and she loved the walk through the park. Mollie and I thank him for his care.

Essence was fantastic with my anxious terrier, Rocky . She was patient, understanding, and provided regular updates with photos. Rocky was happy and relaxed after his walk. Reliable, caring, and highly recommended!

We had a last-minute trip, and Charlize was amazing at accommodating multiple days of care for my dog. Always on time, reliable, and kept me updated throughout. Great communication and my dog loved spending time with her. Couldn't have asked for better service! I would definitely book Charlize again for future care. Thanks
