“Patrick was FANTASTIC with our blind, diabetic foster pup Karma. He spent over an hour getting to know us and our Karma prior to the booking and immediately made us feel at ease with his knowledge and extensive experience taking care of animals. We were concerned about finding a dog sitter who felt comfortable administering daily insulin injections, particularly as Karma had recently grown less tolerant of needles, but Patrick had prior experience and ultimately no issue giving the shots as instructed over the care period. He spent so much quality time with Karma - tons of cuddles and walks! - and sent wonderful photos and updates on her day with frequency. Patrick made our first experience with Rover incredibly easy. He knows what he’s doing and knows what questions to ask/how to set expectations with owners. THANK YOU Patrick for all you’ve done for us!”
“Eli did a great job with Max. He stayed with and cared for Max for 4 days. He made sure Max was well taken care of. He was even great with Max during a day of rain. Max is not a fan of rain, but all was well with Eli's patience and understanding. Max even went on a couple of short hikes. Eli is professional and made sure to spend quality time with Max. I will use Eli again.”
“Gabi was an amazing pet sitter! My boyfriend and I were away for a week, and she took such great care of our cat and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. One of the things I appreciated most was how many pictures she sent—it was so nice to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two very happy pets, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Danielle is the ideal sitter! She’s great at communicating, the house was spotless, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. We’ll absolutely book with her again!”
“Hands down the BEST! He was so kind and loving to my fur-babies, was down to the point on taking care of them and making sure that he cared for them the same way we do. The communication was great and received multiple pictures throughout our trip. We were very nervous to leave our babies with someone new, and this was our first trip ever BUT we definitely will be using him again. He made this trip a breeze for us and we do not regret at all picking Jacob! He is a dime in a dozen.”
“Azucena is the dachshund whisperer.”
“We truly appreciated Cary's help and dedication in caring for our home and our cherished cat, Robbie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates. We returned home to find Robbie stress-free, and the home is in fantastic condition. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Beckie took wonderful care of our furry family member and our house while we were away. We won't hesitate to contact her for all of our dog watching needs from here on. Thank you Beckie!”
“Tuan went above and beyond! Very responsive, and loving with our pets. Went away for over a week and Tuan took special care of our dog and cat. With loving updates we felt so comfortable that they were in the best of hands. Looking forward to our next sitting with Tuan!”
“Jim took excellent care of my large-ish breed dog, who can be extra at times, during the 5-day booking at my place. He was professional, easy going, communicative and I would recommend him to others.”
“Tammy has been with Cleo in our house several times now and has earned our trust by communicating well, being dependable, and leaving everything in great shape.”
About: After raising 5 children and my beautiful border collie passing i’m an empty nester and would love to care for precious pets again. I have had nine dogs and dozens of cats love each and every one of them as if they were my children. All incredibly obedient and loved dearly. I would love to care for yours as well.♥️ I am currently working part time and after 3 PM in the afternoon I would love to walk play and care for your precious pups !! I have a very clean home at the same time live right next to a wonderful neighborhood park and I’m a mile from Dog Beach. Plus I would consider housesitting with your pets. I have excellent references of background in interior design, staging and organizing so I’m very organized and clean! Therefore the designations for your pet would be followed perfectly!!💥
“Allison was wonderful from driving beforehand to meet Maverick and the family until saying goodbye! First time using Rover and I know who I’ll be requesting the next time we need someone! Thank Allison!”
“Monica is an absolute amazing person, she is really caring and very kind with a BIG heart. She was taken care of our old German Shepherd with a lot of health issues, but she was so helpful with all his medication and she always made a right decisions, she embraced our dog like her own. We could wish a better dog sitter and we will leave our big boy with her again for sure. She is a keeper. Thank you Monica for being such a wonderful person ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I've always had a love for dogs every since I was little and actually got to help raise my current dog when COVID happened in 2020 from when he was a puppy. I've pet sat so many times throughout my life and thought this would be a good way to help ensure the well-being of everyone's pet in their family! I am currently home for the summer and working remotely for an internship two days of the week. I have plenty of time to go and check on your pet during the day! Will make sure they are safe and sound. I have trained my dog to love his crate, so he usually goes in there when he wants to. I will mostly ask what the client is most comfortable with and what they need from me to best care for their pet!
“Marianna did a great job with my 2 dogs and cat! She was very responsive and sent me pictures and updates. House also looked great when we returned. I would use her again anytime to watch my pets.”
About: Hi, I have been around dogs of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own dog I have experience in overnight sitting and foster care. I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to San Diego to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog and owner before I care for them on my own
About: I grew up in a family with two cats, so I’ve been around animals since I was a kid. Now I live and work as an engineer in San Diego after earning my PhD. I WFH so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets, give them attention, and keep them company throughout the day. I’m happy to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm calm, patient, and love a good cuddle or walk! I'm home 24/7 and love having animals around. I work from home, so your pet will always have company and care. I welcome pets of all ages and personalities. It depends on their personality and needs. If your pet feels anxious around new people, they’ll have their own quiet space to relax and feel safe. But if they’re a cuddle bug who wants attention all day, I’m all in for that too! I always adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. If you have any special instructions or routines, just let me know, and I’ll follow them closely.
“Shirlene was absolutely wonderful with Barnaby! She was incredibly responsive, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Barnaby looked so happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Haley took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was very responsive and sent plenty of pics and videos. We came home to very happy and tired furbabies 💕”

She has a natural connection with animals and treats them like part of the family. Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, patiently handling special needs, or just offering endless belly rubs, Gina always puts the pets’ happiness and well-being first. I’ve seen her care for both dogs and cats with incredible attention and love. She’s reliable, responsible, and communicates clearly, which brings such peace of mind when leaving your furry friend in her care. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as if they were her own, Gina is the one.”

She has a lot of experience with all kinds of animals, having owned dogs and cats, and also fostering both puppies and kittens.

Yujen K.
“Yujen is a true animal lover. Boomer has high anxiety and doesn’t always get along with other dogs, but he gave him his own space and worked on building his confidence. He took him on long walks and played fetch in the yard. Boomer came home calmer than ever. Yujen also kept me posted constantly. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
