“Cienna was perfect! She was so nice, respectful, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We were so happy with all her pictures and updates while we were away, and we returned to a very healthy and happy pup! She took great care of our house and our most precious baby. We would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch over Prada!”

“Kellie was wonderful with my pups and kitties. She helped me out of a bind when my house sitter bailed on me last minute. Medications given when needed along with regular updates to me. House was in great condition when I returned. Would definitely use her again”

“Danae was exceptional! Great communication and was great with our pets. Very thankful to have her at the house watching them and will be rebooking in the future. We definitely recommend her!”

“Jaylene is the best to care for your pet in your home. Our dog Posie was well cared for and I know Posie loved Jaylene. She gave alot of attention and love to Posie. Our house was kept clean during her stay and she took in our mail. She is professional and friendly and always wants to do her best. We will book again next time we travel.”

“Allison was great with our shy Lola! She stayed with her a few nights. We got many updates, and photos. At her meet and greets Lola was very timid, as she is with everyone. By the second day, Allison had her on a leash for walking. That was a pretty big deal! The communication was great! We got stuck in the airport, and it was easy to contact Allison to come to our rescue! Well done! Thank you! Jody and Todd”

“We are always skeptical leaving our fur baby with a stranger however we were very, very pleased. We received updates daily along with photos and could just tell they were having a good time together. Jasmine knows what she is doing and does it fabulously. We will definitely book with her again.”

“We are so thankful to Blayne! After our rover cancelled on us two days before our trip outside the country we were freaking out, but she was quick to answer our messages and came to meet the doggies right away. She was also very patient with me and my paranoid requests (bad sitter experiences before) and was so great at communicating with us and sending us updates. We were able to see the doggies warming up to her very quick from her photos, and that is a testament to the great care and love she provided them. Will definitely book again, she was amazing!”

“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”


“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”

“I’ve had Ren house/ pet sit for me a few times now and it’s been a great experience each time! The communication is excellent and I get updates with pictures throughout the time I’m away. The house is well taken care of and the animals love Ren too. I would highly recommend this sitter (:”

About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
About: Hi there! I’m Kris, a passionate animal lover with 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or cozy naps on the couch, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. While I am new to the Rover app. I am not new to giving you peace of mind that your pet (of any size breed, fur or scales) will be taken care of. I work in the medical field so am comfortable with any special needs or medications should the need arise. I am also a certified (not officially) belly and head scratcher of all animals and am more than capable of playing fetch at great lengths. I will make sure to communicate with you on how your pet is doing, and am happy to provide pictures if requested. I currently work full time two days a week in the medical field. This allows for ample time off to walk, play, or drop in to check on your four legged friends. My schedule is flexible and I don’t mind holidays as long as I am in town. I currently live in an apartment so dog sitting in my home is extremely limited at this time. I am more than happy to schedule a meet and great to get to know you and your loved ones needs and style. I am also happy to take your dog out on walks, have playtime, and any needed cuddle time to help you feel better when you’re away.
“Rachel was amazing with my dogs! She kept me updated on how they were doing & sent me lots of pics!! She was respectful and caring! I will definitely be booking with here again!”

About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Alexa is so kind & sweet and extends those qualities to your fur babies. We have 3 puppies with various needs and she took care of them like they were her own. The pups were in great hands and we will be using her anytime we travel. We highly recommend Alexa for any dog sitting/house sitting/pet care needs!”

“Jen was great. She took excellent care of our pooch and home. She sent frequent updates to let us know all was well. We will definitely check her availability for future trips.”
“Maria was a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs loved her. She treated them like they were her own. She sent pictures so I could see how they were doing. My house was clean and tidy when I got home. I am very grateful for her great service. I highly recommend her!”

“Kayla's was great - total animal lover! She sent photos of my boys and I could tell they were very happy in her care. Her communication was great - letting me know when she walked them, when she was going to be away, and reaching out with any questions. She took care of my home and even offered to water my plants if needed. She was wonderful - great experience!”

San Ysidro pet parents share their Rover experiences
Levi did a great job of caring for our 2 dogs and 4 cats. We were away for 5 1/2 weeks — a long time for someone new to our household to manage. He paid attention to their many unique quirks, attending to issues that periodically came up. He sent photos regularly, and messages on their status. One of our cats has always had digestive problems and Levi worked hard with him to help improve his condition. We have a large yard so he didn't have to take them for walks, but he did have to clean up their messes. He won over our newest rescue who followed him around everywhere, and went outside with them even through that wasn't necessary. Our house was in good shape when we returned and we hope to have him sit for us on our next vacation.

Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs. Because she has experience with an elderly dog of her own, she understands the extra attention, patience, and care that older pets often need. That gave us peace of mind knowing our senior dog was in such capable and compassionate hands. We would happily recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Bethany is amazing! She sent photos and updates and even the pups that don't do well with strangers took to her; and to be honest, I trust the dogs instincts over my own! :) Despite getting ER sick while here, she made sure everything was done before taking herself to the hospital! To me, putting yourself aside to care for someone else's pups is just above and beyond! We will definitely be booking again!

Jasmine is amazing! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she was great with them and made me feel at ease leaving them which i have never done before and am already booking her for the next out of town trip. I have a very picky dog and he loved her which says alot to me. I got updates as requested and she is very responsive.
Janice is awesome. Roxy bonded with her immediately. Janice was prompt, attentive, and kept us updated with messages, photos and videos. Our girl was comfy and relaxed in her own environment thanks to Janice. We will definitely check with her for future sitting!
