“Fantastic! Angela was amazing ever since the first booking request! She is attentive to details, empathetic towards dog parents, and really cares for doggos. I was impressed that she read our dogs' profiles, followed up with questions prior to first encounter, and she communicates effectively. On the day of sitting, she came out to my car to get the dogs, she followed up with check in messages and photos throughout the day, and she was always timely. REALLY happy that she agreed to watch and care for the dogs. I highly recommend her services!”

“Ben and Luke were great with Penny and she had such a great time with them! She had a blast playing with their 4 other fur babies. We'll definitely be a returning client. Thank you Ben and Luke for taking such great care of our baby.”

All first time clients receive a free doggy bandana and all of the proceeds from your tips go to the “Race for Autism 2026”.

I keep a clean and disinfected environment with several separate fenced areas outside, if you’re dog prefers privacy.
“Charlie and Shanna are absolutely amazing! Shanna was very sweet at drop off and pick up! We’d never left our dogs with anyone but family before and we felt more than comfortable leaving them with Charlie and Shanna. Chief and Mickey really seemed to like Shanna and went with her with no problem. We also loved the pictures we got of them! We will 100% be bringing Chief and Mickey back to them if we need to!! Highly recommend taking your fur babies to Charlie and Shanna!”

“Mark, Christina, and Cody! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. They love you so much. You're just beautiful people. I left them with you with absolutely no worries. Thank you for the daily updates and the cutest pictures! I can't say enough wonderful things about y'all. Our babies were in loving, caring hands always. I highly recommend you. And I know Sage and Noir would love to see you again!”

“Jersey came home tired and happy! I felt so comfortable knowing he had a great day with Sean and Amy. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day and will definitely have him stay there for any future boarding or day care.”


“We couldn't have been happier with everything, from how quick and responsive Erica was to our first inquiry, to her professionalism asking questions about our two dogs and their needs. Our pooches came back calm and happy. Thank you again, Erica!”

“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”

“Thank you so much! Stephanie and her husband were so great! I had the opportunity to meet your husband at the time of pick up. My sister had to do the pick up but she said you are extremely friendly. My puppy is happy to walk into your house! It’s super clean and it’s nice that they both enjoy taking care of my puppy. Maple will be returning 😁”

About: I’ve raised pups my whole life from puppies to seniors and I treat them just like my kiddos - they’re all “spoiled sweet”! And like my kiddos, making sure their needs are met is my #1 priority! As a retired educator, my fur babies are now my full time “students” :) I will always be home while boarding your pup and spoiling them too! We have a huge fenced yard with plenty of space to run and comfy areas to rest, and 2 sweet pups to play with and snuggle yours while they’re here :)

“Janet is the best! This was my 1st time using Rover and it was so convenient. I found someone who is walking distance to me. My entire process was a great experience. She is kind and friendly. She definitely has a passion for dogs! My family enjoyed her taking care of our puppy. I’m glad we met her, definitely will be asking her to care for our puppy in the future.”

“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”
About: Animals have always been my passion. They are what makes me smile. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, rats, and rabbits from babies to seniors. As a full-time animal lover, I can’t wait to treat your furry family member as my own, creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment they’ll adore. I’m a full-time animal lover so I will be home with your pet all day. I love being outdoors so I’m looking forward to being able to share my adventures with your fur baby whether it’s walking them at the neighborhood park that is a 2 minute walk from my complex, enjoying a sunny day at doggy beach or a night in relaxing on the couch watching movies where your pet will have their own bed that is better than most people’s haha. I live in an apartment with a good size patio that your fur baby can relax and enjoy watching birds and bunnies from a distance. There will be no other pets so they will be treated like the prince/princess that they are!
“What an amazing experience! Our fur child enjoyed himself so much and absolutely met his match. Melissa has two amazing dogs who played so well with ours. Melissa sent us the best pictures and I knew he was being loved and welcomed like family. Do not hesitate in booking this amazing service. I’m so grateful to have found Melissa. Thank you for being such a good dog mom.”


“Buddy had a wonderful time and mom was worry free. Jennifer and her husband are wonderful. I trust them 100 percent. Reliable and keeps us informed. They are the best! Thank you so much.”

“Absolutely seamless. Kirsten was an effective communicator, she confirmed prior to our dog sitting appt. She came to our house and picked up the dogs at the agreed time. And she brought them home too! The dogs were clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her services and I would absolutely schedule future dog services with her.”

Rancho San Diego dog parents share their Rover experiences
Such an amazing dog person and fantastic communicator. Our dogs were needing extra exercise while I was stuck on crutches post op. Marina, who I had never met before, was incredibly kind and volunteered to exercise Nala last minute. Our doggo loved spending time with this sitter. She graciously sent photos, videos, updates. She far exceeds all hopes and expectations. Give her a big tip, she's great!

Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!
