“Amanda was great and really took care to make our anxious dog feel happy and safe. He gets scared easily, but immediately warmed up to her and was able to relax while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Where to even begin! While my husband and I were away, Yajahyra stayed at our place to take care of our Frenchie baby Remy. I received detailed updates with pictures and videos and she left the cutest little poloroid picture of him. Remy was definitely missing her after she left! We can't wait to book with her again in the future.”
“Laura is fabulous!!! So communicative and capable with both my quirky dog and cat. She stayed at our house, and when I came home it was cleaner than when I left it. She sends amusing, regular updates and I know my babies are in great hands with her.”
“We had an amazing experience with Angela. She was punctual, communicative, and patient with our more timid dog. She kept us informed throughout her time with our dogs, and we felt very confident and secure while she stayed with them. We came home to a wonderful surprise — Angela wrote us a sweet report card and gifted us a photo of our dogs that she captured. We give her our highest possible recommendation”
About: Hey fellow dog lovers! I’ve had animals around me all my life, and dogs have always been a constant; sometimes just being the reason I got outside for a walk on a tough day. Caring for different pets over the years has shown me that every animal is unique, with their own quirks, needs, and boundaries. I always respect that so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’ve been running a remote creative studio for 8+ years, which gives me flexibility in my day to day and allows me to be fully present when caring for your pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend more time at home with your pet and keep them company throughout the day. I’d describe my energy as calm, attentive, and playful. I prioritize a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow routines closely, stay attentive on walks, and ensure pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Happy to keep you as updated as you'd prefer.
“Joel is such an unbelievably great sitter for our high-energy, high-maintenance pups. He was able to wrangle our 9-month-old malinois (NOT a job for the faint of heart) as well as our smaller but equally crazy 3-year-old mixed breed for four days without breaking a sweat! My husband and I felt super comfortable with him in our home and with our dogs; he's highly communicative, sends great pictures, and he and his wife are all-around great people. I'd give 10 stars if I could!”
“Roshanda is wonderful with our dog Finch! He can be a bit stubborn and she handles him with ease and love. I truly appreciate all the exercise he gets, and she leaves our home in better condition that she found it. Would highly recommend !”

“Here’s a polished Rover review you can post: Kelly was absolutely amazing and truly saved us when our pet sitter canceled at the last minute. She took incredible care of our four dogs and three little pigs while staying in our home. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure all of our animals were happy and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our pets were comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for house. We couldn’t be more grateful for Kelly’s help and professionalism, especially on such short notice. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Nicolas did a great job with our 60lb German shepherd mix while we were gone over the weekend. He got lots of walks, treats, and attention -- his 3 favorite things. Will definitely be keeping Nicolas on the roster for future trips!”
“Sophia was professional, responsive, and so kind to our doggos! I got updates and photos regularly, and she helped us trust that the dogs were taken care of so we could enjoy our weekend away.”
About: Hi! I’m Anna, I’ve been a total dog lover my entire life! For years, I’ve been the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors whenever they need someone to watch their pups. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, big and small, and I absolutely love getting to know their different personalities. I know your pup is a true member of your family, and I promise to treat them like part of mine—with tons of affection, playtime, and love! I work part-time from home for just two hours every morning, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate the rest of my day to taking care of your pets. Because I am home for the vast majority of the day, I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime to ensure your pup feels right at home. Safety and happiness are my top priorities. We have a big, secure yard where dogs can run, play, and burn off energy in a safe environment. I believe in treating every guest like a member of the family, providing a comfortable indoor space for relaxation and constant supervision. In the event of an emergency, the closest 24/7 animal hospital is VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) located at 2224 South El Camino Real. I am also BLS certified, ensuring I can stay calm and helpful in the event of any unexpected situation.
“Sara is a dedicated proffesional with a true love for our four-legged furry friends. We have three girls, all 10 years and older, each requiring individual care. One required injections twice a day promptly at 8:00. With Sara, we were kept informed of daily doings with videos and messages. We always felt like the girls were taken care of. We could tell from the videos that Sara communicated with each girl equally and lovingly. I was so pleased with Sara that I told all my fellow dog parents about her. Sara was also very prompt in responding to calls and messages. Our dogs require 24/7 care and Sara made this a pleasure, not a chore. When we returned home, we knew the girls had been well cared for. We travel a lot and I have had a total of 28 dogs and cats so far in my life. I would never consider boarding my dogs and would rank Sara as one of the best doggie caregivers I have known over the past 50 years. Thanks, Sara.”
“Meg was extremely reliable and communicated regularly in advance of our trip and while we were away. I’d readily recommend her to anyone as a high quality dog and home sitter.”
“Claudia was amazing as always. It’s so wonderful knowing the dogs are well cared for and our home is always in pristine condition. She’s wonderful about sending us pictures too.”
“I can’t recommend Yahaira enough! She is honestly so sweet and treated my puppy, Souei, like one of her own babies. On top of that, she’s an amazing trainer and gave me some awesome peace of mind while I was away. I’m so glad I found her. will definitely be booking her again!”
San Luis Rey pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was so great! She was really good with my crazy puppy and paid attention to my senior cat who usually keeps to herself. Amanda even went above and beyond and trimmed my pups nails a bit because she noticed they were long. Would definitely trust her to watch my animals again!
Yajahyra was friendly, professional, but most importantly, trustworthy. We gave her the keys to our house weeks before she came and felt 100% confident in her. Also, our cats are comfortable with us only, so we didn't expect much, but we could tell from the photos and videos she sent us (and also when we walked in the door after returning home) that they loved her. Highly recommended!
This was my first time working with Malia. She came in for a meet and greet and it was immediately a wonderful fit, not to mention my car Koa having an instant liking to her. Malia took the time to understand Mia and Koa’s elaborate routine and asked questions. The day of Malia was attentive to detail and communicative throughout the day which helped me feel good knowing Mia and Koa received the best care possible. I could tell she was also enjoying her time getting to know them and spending time with my lovely voids!
Alexandra was an amazing in-home dog sitter. She took excellent care of my senior dog, who has a specific diet and requires medication, and handled everything perfectly. She sent photos and updates a couple of times each day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away from my boy. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I would absolutely book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
We used Laurel for the first time and she was awesome. Our puppy was sick with, let’s just say “GI issues” and Laurel had no problem with dealing with all that. She was a compassionate caregiver, up to the task of taking Cookie out multiple times, and cleaning up when the poor dog didn’t make it in time! I highly recommend her.
Danny was a great help during our time away, and he did an outstanding job of keeping up with a rascal of a puppy in addition to our adult Lab. Danny definitely went above and beyond to keep the chaos in control, and kept us informed along the way. We also appreciated that he went beyond expectations to leave the house clean and tidy before we got home. Would highly recommend!
The first thing I liked immediately about Belle was her good vibes ✨My dogs seemed very comfortable around her right away also. Belle stayed overnight at my home, and was very helpful, kind and communicative. She sent lots of pics, followed all of my directions left for her and if she had any questions did not hesitate to ask. She did a great job, is delightful and trustworthy. I would use Belle again in a heartbeat 💖🐶
Riham handled her first stay with our crew like a pro—and our crew is not exactly “beginner level.” We have two large dogs, including a German Shepherd mix who can be a little… selective about strangers (read: mild territorial opinions), plus an easygoing cat. So we don’t take bringing in a new sitter lightly. Somehow, Riham passed the test immediately. The dogs warmed up to her way faster than expected, and even our more skeptical guy seemed genuinely comfortable, which is not something we see with just anyone. She kept us updated with photos and messages (which we absolutely appreciated), and it was clear everyone was relaxed, safe, and well cared for. The house and yard were in good shape when we got back, too. Riham is kind, trustworthy, and very conscientious. We’d happily book her again.
Kyanna did an excellent job! She watched my senior dog, as well as my 4 month-old puppy, for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was attentive and a great communicator. The dogs loved her, and I felt totally safe and comfortable with her looking after them. I highly recommend her services!!
