“Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️”


About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom and animal caretaker for over 10 years, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I truly see pets as family—whether they’re my own or yours—and I treat each one with the same care, love, and attention. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel a little nerve-wracking. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send photo updates, take them on walks, keep them company with a movie if I step out, and tuck them in at night with their favorite toys so they feel safe and loved I work remotely, so I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and yours. I can work from your home if needed, be there 24/7 or to just check in. Depending on your pets needs, I can take them for walks, let them out for a bathroom breaks, play with them and their favorite toys, and provide top tier belly rubs.
“Cristen seems to do great with our doggies and our home is always at least as clean as we left it when she house sits for us. We will continue to request her for future doggy care needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I currently work as an RBT and am in my senior year at UCSD. I miss my pets, so this is my fix for now! :) Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!
“Ashley has looked over our pet babies a couple times now. She is continuously responsive and prompt. She has only every given us reasons to trust her with our home and our animals. And we've never had any drama with her. What more could you ask for?”

“Vannessa and Jason stayed in our home to watch our 2 dogs for 4 nights. They did an amazing job! They were very communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates and kept our home spotless. In fact, they left the house cleaner than when we had left. I highly recommend Vannessa and Jason!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Val! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for my dog as if it was her own. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Val to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be using her services again.”

“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”

“Lesley was great and very professional. We had no problem leaving her to watch our dog and were able to enjoy our night out knowing our girl was safe and well taken care if. We will definitely book Lesley again!”

“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”


About: I grew up with my mom rescuing dogs and cats found in our neighborhood. Most of them were failed fosters. I grew up with 5 cats and 6 dogs, with my cat living with me up until my senior year of college until she passed. I always look forward to going home to seeing all of our animals! From big to small- from our cats to our dogs. Each one of them has their own personalities and needs. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, bigger dogs, small dogs, epileptic dogs, and young cats, I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available most weekends, mornings, and evenings. I am unavailable Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I value safety with every pet. As a previous pet owner, I always would want someone’s pet to feel comfortable and safe with me and be able to create a good trust and bond!
“Jeffrey was terrific. He made an appointment before the sitting date to meet our dog Annie and discuss housesitting. He showed up at the date and time we requested. He took our dog on a daily walk and she really warmed up to Jeffrey. We really appreciated that he did some household items like take out our trash, check our mail and any packages that arrived. Our house was as clean and picked up as when we left. Jeffrey even made sure to make the guest bed that he was staying! 😉 We would definitely hire Jeffrey again. We feel he is a very dependable and conscientious house sitter. When Jeffrey left at the end of the sitting appointment, Annie wanted to follow him outside. 😀 Obviously, Jeffrey has a great way dogs. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, birds, reptiles—you name it, I’ve loved and looked after them. I currently have three playful dogs and three curious cats of my own, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and individualized care our furry family members need. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. Even shy or anxious pets tend to gravitate toward me, including those who usually don’t warm up to people right away. Friends often joke that I’m a “pet magnet” because animals seem to instinctively trust me. I bring a calm, comforting energy into every space, and I know how to read each pet’s body language and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and loved. For over a decade, I’ve been trusted by families to dog-sit, cat-sit, and house-sit, and I treat every home and animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s a fun day at the dog beach, a peaceful nature walk, or just keeping a pet company while you’re away, I’m fully committed to making sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. In addition to everyday care, I also have hands-on experience with medical needs. I’ve administered oral medications, topical treatments, and even insulin shots for diabetic dogs. I’ve cared for senior pets with mobility issues and given special attention to animals recovering from surgery. I once even helped a stray cat through labor and safely delivered her kittens! You can trust that I’ll handle any special needs with patience, confidence, and compassion. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—it’s not just something I do, it’s part of who I am. As a pet parent to three dogs and three cats, my days already revolve around feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m home or out and about, I always make time for animal care. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet I care for the attention they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, an overnight stay, or midday check-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine feels easy, joyful, and second nature. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard that’s ideal for zoomies, sunbathing, fetch, or just some fresh-air lounging. It’s also perfect for quick potty breaks—but don’t worry, walks are always part of our routine! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on creating a warm, comforting environment. I tailor each day to their needs, with a healthy mix of play, snuggles, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and balanced. If I’m in your home, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel secure and at ease in their space. No matter where we are, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely cared for.
About: I have been walking dogs for the past five years. I have several clients but the dog I’ve walked the most is a Husky named Dasha and the other is a German Shepard named Sarge. I love to walk and play with dog and make sure they get their exercise and food. I have plenty of time to walk the Dogs. If possible, I would like to work on Monday to Friday. I am OK also to work either Saturday or Sunday. But, I prefer to work on weekdays. I care for pets by calling their name in a loving way, spending time petting them, making sure they are comfortable and their tail is wagging. I also make sure to be playful and speak calmly and pleasantly to the dogs.
About: I have always grown up with dogs so I am able to handle most situations. I am able to help train puppies as well as help with senior care of older dogs. I have a very open schedule that is easily adjustable. I am very flexible with hours and also last minute walks or care that is needed. I have a fenced in yard for my pets and a graffiti lawn that pets are able to go outside on leash. I also can put pets into a create if necessary.
“Valerie was just amazing! I had to be out of town for 5 days for a memorial service. Pups couldn't go. Valerie came and met them and played with them here at the house. She took great care of everything. I got lots of pictures of smiling, happy puppies during my trip. I would definitely book with her again.”

Scripps Ranch pet parents share their Rover experiences
Catherine was awesome! She showed lots of attentive care for our two cats for her overnight stays with them. She would send videos and photos every day so we didn’t have to worry about how they were doing. She was responsive and asked questions when she needed clarification. We came back to happy cats and a clean house! Would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Justin did an absolutely amazing job caring for our 2 pups and house sitting while we were away for the holidays. Our dogs and house were very well taken care of. Justin was always quick to respond with updates and pictures of the dogs and I look forward to having him dog sit for us again!

Savannah was a God send! She took such great care of my little old man Berkley (17 yrs old). She ensured he got his meds, food, and daily doses of cuddles! I was so worried to leave him for a week but she kept me informed daily and was just what he needed in my absence! Will book her anytime I'm away!

Gianna is an amazing person to watch your pet! She sent lots of updates with photos and will treat your pet as if they are her own. She took care of my 12 year old dog who is blind a diabetic. Gave him his meds and shots on time. Will definitely come back to her from now on.
