“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”
“I’d recommend April to family and friends. She boarded at my house with my two big energy dogs and did great! She sent updates with photos while I was away and the boys were happy and tails wagging. Thank you April for snuggling them while I was away”
“Rebecca was so thorough in preparation of helping care for our pups while we were away. Helped us to feel confident during her care and stay with them. She sent updates and pictures which helped the communication stay consistent and open, which was nice too! Grateful for her services!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our home and our pup, Mia! Hailey went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. She was incredibly communicative, sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about Mia’s personality and quirks that showed just how attentive she was!! Our dog, Mia, is always so happy in her care, and we came home to a spotless home and a relaxed pup, which is the dream! Hailey always gives us peace of mind knowing Mia is such capable and loving hands. We always try to book Hailey for every trip, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful and truly caring sitter. Thanks so much, Hailey!”
“Monica is amazing! From the first meet and greet we had with myself and my dog, I could tell immediately she is kind, attentive and reliable. I got regular updates and photos during her stay with my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup. She is truly gifted with animals and it shows!! Thank you Monica! Highly recommend reaching out to her :)”
“Abigail made me feel so comfortable with the constant updates. She kept our dog in her routine and managed her reactive behaviors. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! I learned how to bathe, treat and clean dogs at a young age and grew to love dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs, very well-experienced! I’m currently a student and am on summer break! I provide walks any time during any day! I am always happy to help! I am willing to flexible and will always communicate. I have a spacious backyard with grass and shaded areas, as well as many dogs toys. My backyard is fully fenced and safe. I will keep an eye on your pet at all times!
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”
“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”
“Claudia was so sweet with our animals. It’s been a couple years since she house sat for us, but I still remember her. She communicated well with us, which was so reassuring.”
About: I have a wide range of experiences and skills ranging from puppies and kittens to senior dogs that need medication and reptiles that need constant humidity. I am a professional house and pet sitter as my main source of income so I'm available to dedicate as much time as needed to your pets and furry family members. This is what I do! I watch pets and homes 24/7/365. Never hesitate to reach out for last minute needs or extended stays in your home with or without defined end dates. I do not host at my home but prefer to meet animals where they are most comfortable. I'm also very open to minor house cleaning and/repair requests if it is within my capacity.
About: As a registered nurse I cannot commit to being a doggy parent yet, but I sure do love helping other families and their pets. While having strong integrity, I believe my ability to meet animals where they are and respect their quirks makes me an ideal pet sitter. I see that every animal is an individual and would love to adhere to a routine that you set out for them. I am currently taking a short break from nursing and enjoying exploring San Diego. I have open availability until mid-September. Beyond that, I would love to fit pet sitting into my routine and will see if I am able to accomodate that with a new schedule. I typically work 3 12 hrs shift so that does leave some days open. I try to always adhere to the pet's routine and love learning likes and dislikes. I have worked in other's homes before as a home-based therapeutic worker with children and have also done tons of babysitting. I am always easily accessible and leave places better than I find them.
“Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of our pups! I think they already miss her. She kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures. I know they appreciated all of the walks and cuddles. I totally recommend Vanessa for any house sitting services.”
“Above and beyond !!! Crystal stayed with our pups through the holidays and made sure they were safe and happy. While she stayed at the house she left it even better than when I left it for vacation ! I highly recommend and we will be using her services in the future!!”
About: Hi! I'm Mitzi I have a true passion for caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. My top priority is creating a comfortable, secure, and safe environment for your furrr baby while you're away. I'm a naturally patient person and always take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs. Whether that means going on runs or hikes with high energy pups, or taking slow, gentle walks with senior companions. Your pet’s well being, comfort, and happiness are always my focus! I work part time and am available on weekdays during mornings and mid days. However, some evenings can be arranged if discussed in advanced :) I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, stick to the pet’s routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, play, and rest.

Southcrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nathalie was a life saver for me, I had to go to Europe for six weeks and was terribly stressed about my two dogs who were starting behind. They’re used to my being with them all the time (I work from home) and I was anxious about how they would respond. Nathalie arranged to work from home as well and stayed with my dogs at my place. She took photographs almost on a daily basis, took them to the park every day, and occasionally even to the beach and bathed them on their return I left her with specific instruction which she followed to the letter. She even groomed me Aussie / Chow mix …. Lots of fur! I returned to two very happy babies who very obviously fell in love with her. After six weeks away I think I got jealous :-)
Jessica was very communicative and great with my very senior pup who has separation anxiety. She was very accommodating and I felt at ease while she watched him. She also left our house clean and just as we left it. Would definitely rebook her next time we need care for Booka!
Jackie was very helpful and patient with our shorty bulldog. He can be quite particular on walks or around other dogs. She constantly updated us with photos and information regarding his medicine. Would definitely be utilizing her services in the future. We would highly recommend booking with Jackie!
Overall great job. Archie the dog had a great time, felt comfortable, and was happy when I returned. Communication was top notch, and the house was kept clean. I would recommend Jayda for dog sitting and will be having her watch Archie again in the future. Thanks!
Oceane is incredibly thoughtful and kind. She keeps me regularly updated and pays close attention to my dog, always letting me know if she notices any new behaviors. My dog absolutely adores her—he gets so excited when she comes over, and I can see his big smiles in the photos she sends. He also loves cuddling with her!
5 Stars! Highly Recommend Christina O. Christina was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our cat and dog while we were away! She made sure they were both well-loved, fed, and played with. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. Christina communicated with us throughout the stay, sending updates and pictures, which was so reassuring. Our animals were happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell they had been treated like family. Highly recommend Christina for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
I moved to San diego a couple months ago and i’ve had 2 horrible experiences & thank god we found Shauna for our 5 day trip. She’s trustworthy, nice, & my dogs love her! She sent pictures of them, took them to the park, gave medicine, etc. I finally felt at peace leaving town with someone watching my babies. She e even left my house spotless and took my package to USPS. She will be the only person to watch my dogs from now on!!
