“Paige was an amazing sitter for my cat! She played with her during her drop ins and kept constant communication including sending me pics of each visit. I will definitely book with her again next time I go out of town. Thanks again Paige!”


“Whitney is absolutely amazing!! We were able to meet her the day before to introduce her to our two pups; they loved her right away. Whitney provided exceptional updates of all of their daily activities together, which they absolutely enjoyed. These updates were essential to our peace of mind while we were away. If you want someone who will love and take care of your pets the way you would, book Whitney!! Thank You ❤️”


“Stefanie helped us with a couple lunchtime drop ins for our 5 month old lab pup Evie. Stefanie was timely and sent updates throughout the visits. She also included fun photos and left detailed notes on her visits. Thanks again Stefanie!”

“Sara took great care of our kitties while we were on a weekend trip. She was very professional, caring and transparent in communication since from the beginning. I would highly recommend her and will be definitely booking her next time!”

“Mackenzie was wonderful and very thorough, she spent ample time with our cat babies while we were away on vacation. She was also very flexible as we booked her two days prior to our trip. 10/10 would have watch our babies again!”

“Elisabeth was so incredible! Cannot recommend her enough. She watched our angelic yet clingy Siberian 1.5yr old cat every day for a week for an hour plus. My partner and I were going out of town for the first time since we adopted him and were extremely anxious about leaving him. A friend of ours had recommended Elisabeth, so we interviewed her and she was the obvious choice! Once we left, she was communicative with how Wally was doing and updated us with photos every day. Upon our return, he was happy to see us but it was clear he wasn’t starved for attention! It made us feel even more at ease that he clearly hadn’t been stressed about our absence at all. In a world out there where trusting your little one to someone else (and having them in your home) can be scary and anxiety-producing, you def want someone like Elisabeth taking care of them. Hire her!”

“Rebecca is our go to person when we need a sitter for Lola. We know that she will care for as if she is one of her own family member’s. Rebecca is responsible and prompt with communication. Lola loves her and Rebecca is loving toward her.”

“Once again, Sasha took amazing care of my Cat. When I got home from my trip, I asked how her experience was with Sasha. She looked at me and gave me two thumbs up. Which, is not easy to do for a Cat.”

“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”


About: I have been a dog person my whole life. I have had my own pups for most my life, and friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies. Dogs make me happy, I try my best to return the favor! We don't deserve their friendship, so I don't take them for granted. As a real estate agent, I primarily work form home and have a very flexible schedule. I can work my days and weeks around my priorities. I live in a townhome without a yard, so any pups that stay over will get a lot of walking time. I have a nice park about a quarter mile from my home that makes for an easy 30-45 minute walk.
About: I am a mom. I can manage a potty trained dogs and animals. Love walks/cuddles. Daily walks. A routine. I wake up early for a morning walk, longer walk during the day and then a night walk to get energy or pees/poops out. I walk my golden every day/3 x a day. Loving service dog. Docile golden. Sweet with animals. He has been around multiple small dogs, cats, hamsters. Always sweet. I have a fenced yard with locks on the gate. Animals can go in or out. Cool breeze patio. Animals can sit on couch. Fresh water multiple times per day. Snacks if permitted. Lots of love from school aged kids.

About: I’m mama to four crazy cats: Mark, Quid, Star, and Wally. They’re the most recent squad in a long line of kitties ( + one doggy!) that came before. I’m very comfortable around sassy pets, as well as ones with special diets or medication needs. I took care of my Delia doggy for 3 years, with all her rambunctious walks and homemade meals. I’m currently working part-time evenings in La Mesa, typically 3:00p-8:30p at the most. I am off work and completely free on Mon/Tue/, but I am available throughout the week to drop-in and housesit, provided I can fit it around my work schedule. I’m very flexible! I’m ready to handle any special dietary requirements (including cooking), as well as medication needs. I’m comfortable with crating dogs and/or banishing cats to a certain part of the residence. I have a bunch of little escape artists, so I’m always careful to account for everyone and keep the space organized.
“I’ve been using Susanne for several years now, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. My cats absolutely love her, which gives me such peace of mind whenever I’m away. She takes wonderful care of them, and I always know they’re safe, happy, and well looked after. Susanne also consistently goes above and beyond. She doesn’t just take great care of my pets—she makes sure everything in the house is clean, tidy, and taken care of as well. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I feel completely comfortable leaving my cats and my home in her hands. Highly recommend!”

“Devon did a great job with my doggo! She has great ideas for training that I haven’t thought of and she seems to naturally attuned to what he is thinking and what he needs. My dog is really odd, so this is not an easy feat. I’m really glad that I found Devon and I will definitely seek her help with Tucker long term!”

“Emily did an excellent job, taking care of my cat over 5 days. She checked in twice a day, sent cute photos of his interactions with her and kept him happy. I so appreciate her professionalism and concern for his welfare. Highly recommended!”

“Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!”


“When you leave your beloved pet for an extended amount of time, you want someone to care for them the same way that you would.. Merlyn not only does that but takes it up a notch by documenting her time with your furchildren and sending you minute by minute updates while you are away with descriptions and photos regarding her time spent with them. She cares for your pet as you would and thoroughly enjoys spending time with them! She gained our kitties trust within minutes and even got him to bring on the purr! We came home to a very happy camper along with a handwritten note about Merlyn’s time with Tank! Cannot wait to go away again so Merlyn and Tank can spend some time together! Trust level - 100%. Thank you Merlyn, you truly are a life saver!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies and senior pets, including basic training support, structured routines, gentle senior care, and medication reminders when needed. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, and I always treat them like my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible and get consistent attention throughout the day. Living near a lake and a grass area in my apartment complex also makes it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe apartment environment with plenty of attention and structure. I live right next to a lake and have access to a grass field within my apartment complex, which is great for regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I make sure pets get consistent routines, playtime, and rest based on their needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or slower-paced senior pets. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
Aurora was so great with my kitten! She was on time for our pre-meeting and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten in her care. Her communication while I was away was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures, left detailed notes, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I especially appreciated the attention she gave to actually spending time with my kitten and actively playing with her twice a day, rather than just stopping in to take care of the basics. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Aurora had everything under control and my kitten was getting lots of attention and love. I would absolutely recommend her!

Kristieann was an absolutely incredible sitter for my senior puppy. She was extremely kind and caring for my old girl and was able to come during the middle of the day to look after her, pet her, brush her, and giver her company while I was at work all day. She has made a noticeable difference in my dogs life and I am so grateful for her help and I highly recommend her for any service she offers.

This was my first time using Rover for any services, and I’m entirely pleased with the care that my puppy received! I have a busy schedule and adopted a new puppy that needs more attention than I can give right now, and Dana helped my puppy transition to her new life. I came home every day to a clean space, and a happy puppy! Dana is a reliable and caring puppy sitter!!

I’ve been using Susanne for several years now, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. My cats absolutely love her, which gives me such peace of mind whenever I’m away. She takes wonderful care of them, and I always know they’re safe, happy, and well looked after. Susanne also consistently goes above and beyond. She doesn’t just take great care of my pets—she makes sure everything in the house is clean, tidy, and taken care of as well. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I feel completely comfortable leaving my cats and my home in her hands. Highly recommend!
