“Our first time using Rover for our Sheepadoodle. Sam made Harry feel at home and was very kind. He sent us a few pictures and updates. Will definitely book with him again ?”

“Kaiju had an amazing day with Genevieve and her pups! He was well taken care of and we enjoyed seeing all the pictures throughout the day. He loved running around in the backyard!”

“Every pet parent’s wish is that their fur child gets the same love and care at a sitter’s as they do at home. Ann provides exactly that. She is responsible (arranges meet and greets of all dogs she cares for) and adheres to all provided care instructions as well as send picture/video updates throughout the day. I love that dogs are allowed to roam free in her house as it provides a more “home-like” environment compared to other typical boarding facilities. She is great to communicate with regarding scheduling and understanding when emergencies come up. Ann has been my dog Ollie’s go to daycare and boarding service for the past two years. But honestly, she’s gone above and beyond to be more than that. Ollie enjoys spending time at her house and even gets invited to her dog’s birthday party every year. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”

“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”

“Andre was great! Booked him on short notice, felt so comfortable leaving my boys with him. Our Adonis is recovering from surgery and he accommodated to his needs. Will definitely use his service again!”


“Liza and Kerry are the best. Our dogs have been staying with them for the last 3 years. They are very flexible, send lots of photos, and take the best care of our babies. They get very spoiled during their stay. Highly recommend.”


About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets, including my own, since I was very young. I also hold a certification in Veterinary Science and Pet Care. I have 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly and we live at Civita park which we love to take our furry friends to :) I am currently going back to do more school online so I will be home and have plenty of time and attention to gratefully give to your pets! I have many toys and fur friends to keep yours company ! I also live right on spacious Civita park where I take dogs to walk and explore. My complex also offers dog-walking trails and a gated dog park to play around in. My pets are very friendly although if you feel uncomfortable, I can separate them for the duration of your pet’s stay!
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”

“Heidi did great taking care of our girl Zoe. She kept us updated often with pictures and videos. She communicated with us when she had questions and responded to questions we had in a timely manner. She was professional and from the pictures, I could tell Zoe was having a great time playing with her dogs. She came home happy and tired. Thanks Heidi!”

“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“My precious PugZ took an immediate liking to Rachelle. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. I’d definitely have Rachelle care for PugZ again and highly recommend her services”

About: As a fellow dog parent, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I care for every pup like they’re my own! With patience, love, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 10 years old. Later as an adult, I took in a friend's dog who was looking for a new home. He is now almost 14 years old, happily living and spoiled with love at my parents' house! I’m truly passionate about animal care and love staying up to date by following and sharing content from dog care accounts on social media. I’m very observant and quick to pick up on a dog’s body language whether they need something or feel uncomfortable and I’m always striving to understand them even better! I’m currently not working, so I’m at home most of the day with my dog, Mango (a super friendly 1year and 8month old). I have plenty of time to take care of your cute little buddies! I live in a quiet, dead-end community in Stonecrest with no through traffic, making it super safe and peaceful. There are plenty of friendly dogs of all sizes in the neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, relax, and take easy potty breaks. Plus, our community features a great park and lovely walking trails, offering a wonderfully dog-friendly environment with super nice neighbors.
“My pup appeared happy to be with Alvin and was well taken cared of. Alvin also went above and beyond when i requested to board on a short notice. He’s also very pleasant and made my anxious boy at ease. I will definitely book him again in the future!”

“Colin was sooo good with my dog, Fluffy- who can be particular with new people. He is patient, detail oriented, thoughtful, and provided great updates throughout the day. His home is clean and safe for dogs. I’ll continue to use him as a sitter for Fluffy for as long as he’ll have him!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Serra Mesa
Raquel and her partner are amazing and incredibly professional! We needed someone to watch our recently adopted rescue for a few hours each day while we were in town doing touristy things and attending concerts. Their communication was excellent, and their flexibility with our schedule—especially some of our later pickups—was very much appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving our sweet girl with someone we didn’t know. But after the meet and greet, I had zero worries and knew Patsy would be in great hands. I was able to thoroughly enjoy our outings without stressing about how she was doing. Patsy was excited to be dropped off and always came home a happy girl! She got plenty of potty breaks, and Raquel adapted to all of Patsy’s little quirks with ease. It was clear that Patsy felt comfortable and well cared for. We’re so glad we found Raquel and will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re in the area! I highly recommend her and her partner to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and professional sitters.

I can’t say enough great things!!! Hollyanne and Donovan came through for me in a last minute booking. Hollyanne is so friendly and sweet! I got the cutest picture updates of Summit having the BEST day ever. At pickup I got a very happy and sleepy puppy. I will recommend them to everyone I know and will definitely book with them again!

So grateful for Maryjane and her pack! We were driving through San Diego back home to Orange County and needed someone to help watch Benedict last minute. Benny not only had a great time with them, but I was able to relax as well knowing he was in great hands because Maryjane sent photo and video updates throughout his stay. Picking him up after our concert was also a great experience. She sent us off with homemade treats. 🤍🐾🦴

I reached out on short notice needing a sitter for my Belgian Malinois mix and honestly wasn’t sure who’d be up for it, mals are a lot. High energy, smart, need real exercise and mental stimulation or they get destructive/anxious. Derya didn’t just tolerate that, they clearly got it. My dog came home tired in the best way and completely unstressed, which tells me they were actually engaged and working with her energy instead of just containing it. She also sent photos and videos constantly throughout the visit, I always knew exactly what she was up to and could tell she was genuinely having a good time, not just being watched. That kind of communication is huge, especially when you’re booking last minute and a little anxious about leaving a dog like this with someone new. On top of that, they pulled it together on very short notice without missing a beat communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with working breed temperaments, not just easy lapdogs. If you’ve got a dog that’s “too much” for the average sitter, this is who you want. Already planning to book again

Lucia is so great! She watched my senior dog while I was at work and sent me plenty of updates including outdoor walks and napping photos. She immediately bonded with my boy and was very kind to him. I felt safe leaving him with Lucia so he had a buddy during my time away. Will book again!

Jessica has been absolutely amazing! As a travel healthcare worker starting at a new facility in San Diego, my schedule has been changing constantly, and she has been incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. It has taken so much stress off my plate knowing Broly is in such great hands. This morning I completely forgot his bag with his food and leash, and without hesitation she offered to pick up the mobile order I placed so he had everything he needed. She was an absolute lifesaver! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and I always feel confident leaving Broly with her. I can’t recommend her enough, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Sam is absolutely amazing! He truly understands dogs and introduces all the dogs in his care in a safe way so that they can all play all day in harmony. I’m so glad that we found him and that when we go away we have a trustworthy place for our girl to stay most importantly, thrive! She’s never come back to us anxious as she always did at larger boarding facilities. Thank you so so much Sam!
