About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“I was so appreciative to find Danielle and Austin! My dog, Gary, was treated like a member of the family. I got daily updates and photos too. I could not be happier with our experience and will definitely book with them again!”
“Sean & family (including their dog Zorian) were just wonderful dog sitters! This was a repeat booking with him and I certainly plan to use him again in the future. They welcomed my dog into their family and took great care of him!”
“Sarah is the BEST dog sitter in Tracy! She took such good care of my dogs, who are usually a little stressed when they are away from home. She sent us tons of pictures and detailed updates and I really felt like she gave Bug & Seymour individual attention based on their needs. Her own dogs are super sweet, and played really well with my little one who really came out of her shell. I am so happy to have found such a caring and trustworthy sitter who really cares about dogs and it really feels like she treats every dog that comes into her home as her own.”
“Leslie watched my cat for 3 nights. He is very shy and scared and she made sure he was comfortable in his own little area without having to worry about the other pets in the house. Although they slowly gained his trust and he cuddled with her adorable, sweet cat. I felt my cat was safe and in great hands from the moment I left him. She provided pictures and updates which was wonderful to receive. Thank you so much Leslie and to your family for being so caring and loving. And for the patience of trying to win over our little shy guy so he could get pets and cuddles. I would recommend her 10/10 to care for your pets.”
“Anna is amazing! The only thing I was worried about was if my dogs would want to come home with me after their week at Anna's house. She is so kind and responsive and gave me frequent updates on what my girls were up to and how they were doing. I'm positive my pups would love to stay with her again and I will definitely be rebooking in the future. She is my new go-to dog sitter!”
“Alexandra was great and easy to communicate with! She took in Louie during a busy holiday season and was accommodating to stay with him during new years since he doesn’t do well with fireworks. Received updates everyday. Would recommend!”
“Loree is the only person we leave our fur baby with. While gone, she got extremely sick.. Loree not only took her to the ER vet but stayed with her for hours.. Ended up being pancreatitis and they stabilized her. Loree held vigil with her until we could make it home the next day. Most of our times with Loree are always excellent as well. Her quick thinking saved our pup's life. Again, only sitter we will use.”
“Arthur was wonderful to work with. Prompt, responsive, great updates & photos. He asked us great questions to get to know our dog's needs and most importantly, took wonderful care of our Lucky! We would happily reach out to him again in the future.”
“Kathy is absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. It was our Roxie's first time staying with anybody else and she made me very comfortable, sending pictures and communicating instantly with me. Wonderful home and terrific setting. When we picked up Roxie she was happy and seemed to have loved her stay. Kathy and her family couldn't be more perfect for us.”
About: I've worked with dogs and cats since 2008 where I started at the humane society. After working there for four years I worked at at animal hospital for ten years and also owned my own pet sitting business during that time. Being around animals is second nature to me! I am currently a stay at home mom. The only times I am really unavailable is when dropping off my own children at school in between the hours of 730-8am and school pick ups between the hours of 130-230. I have a large fenced in yard. I have a sliding glass door that has a built in doggie door so they animals all have access to enter the home or head outside at their own will. I also have a side yard that is fenced away from my large yard for those animals that need extra time to adjust or would prefer to be on their own instead of with the pack. The side yard has half artificial grass and half concrete that is fully shaded.There is AC in the summer and a heater for the cold winters that your pet can enjoy.
“Rachel was communicative and super flexible on the pick up time when we were delayed. She has a great yard and plenty of space for the dogs to run around! I will definitely book her again!”
“Maria was wonderful. She took Wally to the park every day and sent multiple pictures every day, too. Wally barely cared when I was back, I think because he enjoyed his time so much! I would use Maria again in a heartbeat.”
“I think our dog had more fun during our vacation than we did! Linda and Zach were great. They sent lots of updates and were very accommodating with a last-minute schedule change. Our dog came home happy and tired after so much fun play time. We would definitely use them again.”
About: I've done pet sitting throughout my life as well as a 20 year cat owner. Our cat just passed and we are really missing having an animal in the house. Our home always has humans roaming around. We have different schedules and our 2 teenage children are homeschooling so there is always energy and fun. Our downstairs is hardwood so there would be no problems with accidents or allergens, there would also be ample space and a beautiful, enclosed yard.
“We had a wonderful experience with Kameron! She took excellent care of Piggy and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Piggy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and love. Communication was great, and we appreciated the cute pics.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Loree is a gem! She truly loves the dogs in her care, and Murphy was very well taken care of during his stay. This was his first time staying with her (being a newly adopted member of our family) and we're already booking with her for the next stay. Thank you, Loree, for giving Murphy a good home away from home, and us peace of mind during our travels!
I was very impressed by Weirong and his level of care for our two pups. He was excellent at taking pictures every day and following up as necessary while we were on vacation. Our pups always looked excited and happy to be taken care of. I would highly recommend Weirong if you would like to have your fur baby taken on long walks or just able to lounge in the backyard or around the house.
Leslie is amazing. She knows how to take good care of your pet. She messages you throughout the day explaining how your pet’s doing with pictures. Very professional and accommodating. My flight got delayed and was 3 hours late but she was very nice about it. 100% recommend Leslie!
Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with my two huskies, Lobo and Cece! Our pups stayed with them for two nights, and we received multiple updates throughout their stay. They were responsive and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would definitely have them watch them again!
Sarah is AMAZING and should definitely have 5 stars. She took the best care of my dog Juno for almost 2 weeks and Juno didn’t want to leave when I went to pick her up. Great communicator and you can tell how much she loves animals. Will be booking again and would recommend her to anyone
Erica was a wonderful caregiver to our dog Rocky! Very prompt with communication, providing daily updates & sending great photos and videos! She truly cared about Rocky and gave him some of her dog’s liver treats & made him liver broth to put on his food when he wasn’t eating that ensured he ate! She had a crate for Rocky to sleep in if he wanted to, crate door was always open never closed so he could go in/out as he pleased! We will definitely use Erica again! Peace of mind knowing he’s in excellent caring hands!!
This was my first time having Anna watch Tank and she was wonderful. Tank is 12 years old and a bit deaf and clingy in his old age. Anna sent me photos and updates everyday and I could definitely tell that Tank was well cared for and loved by her family. I would definitely trust her again with my tanky.
Daniel was great! He checked in with pictures and updates, was communicative and our fur babies came back home happy. Its hard to find someone reliable for our Cane Corso because not many people have confidence with the breed, but Daniel was great, an Alpha pet care giver. Highly recommend!
My dog Cooper absolutely loved his stay with Jessica! He is a senior dog and had a few needs that other dogs might not have and she was sure to pay close attention to those needs and take great care of him! He got walks, fed, he had a play buddy, and I got plenty of updates and pictures as to how he was doing. He always looked happy! I will definitely book Jessica again if I were you I would too!
Third time with Gina and Brian and Poppy can’t get enough. Updates on a daily basis with the most adorable photos. They take the best care of her and take so much stress off of me and Poppy both! Thank you both for being such wonderful dog people. Poppy and I both look forward to the next time! 🩷
Alexandra is amazing. She went above and beyond for my dog. I have a senior dog and has so much anxiety but he had had no issues with her. He definitely felt like he was home. I would definitely recommend her and I will definitely be calling her again for future dog sitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Luis Rey home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Luis Rey.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your San Luis Rey sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
