“Sarah was super friendly and easy to communicate with! She was available on short notice and took great care of my pup! Trusting people in your home and with your pets can be tough, but I trust Sarah & will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Crystal took great care of our Mini Schnauzer, house sitting for us for a week. She provided photos daily, as requested. And the house appears to be even cleaner than we left it. We will definitely request Crystal for our future doggy care needs.”

“I cannot recommend Joanne enough! I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped in to take amazing care of my dogs. She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and my dogs absolutely adored her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking Joanne any time I need a sitter!”

“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.”
“Sarah was amazing with Junie! She was very attentive and gave great updates with photos every day. There were fireworks while we were gone, which Junie hates, so Sarah let me know that Junie had a rough night but she sat with her and tried to get her to calm until Junie eventually slept beside Sarah in bed. Sarah also took great care of our house. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house.”


“What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.

“Jenna was an absolute dream! She was so respectful of our space going above and beyond not only for the pets but also taking care of the house. She was very communicative and easy to reach! We would absolutely recommend her services and will use her again in the future!”

“Brendan was wonderful. Our dogs fell in love with him right away and it was clear they had a great time. Brendan was communicative and gave us great photos. Thanks again!”


About: I’m the sitter who sends lots of photo updates, keeps routines consistent, and I treat every dog like they’re staying with family. I’m great with anxious dogs as well I am working part time and love all types of animals! I’m looking for a very flexible schedule that will work for both my schedule and yours! Either in your home or in mine your fur baby will be well taken care of I’m great at following instructions and routines to a T as you’d need them

“Nancy was wonderful with my fussy senior chihuahua Croissant - I truly felt at ease knowing she was caring for him and helping him feel calm and loved while I was away. Nancy stayed at my home and left everything spotless. She communicated clearly and responded quickly, and made sure to provide photo updates. 10/10 will book again!”


About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!
“Arlett was very sweet and took great care of our dog while we were away! She left our house very tidy and was very communicative. We will be glad to have her back in the future :)”

“Roni was fabulous. She was great with my two cats. She sent lots of pics which helped me worry less. I could see she liked playing with them and was very loving. I highly recommend”

“Caroline was an amazing pet and house sitter. Not only did she take excellent care of our cat and dog, she also tended to our backyard chickens and ducks! On top of all that, she kept the house so tidy that we could hardly tell she had spent a week in our home. It was so comforting to come back after a vacation to find our house and pets exactly as we had left them. We will most certainly book with Caroline again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet and home sitter.”

“Brittany was so kind and updated us with pictures of our pets. We felt safe and at ease with Brittany watching our animals. Brittany was great at communicating her schedule. Would absolutely recommend!”

Southcrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karla is a fantastic pet sitter! She truly exceeded expectations. On the day of our departure, our cat was uncomfortable with an irritated ear and a bit moody. Karla was very patient with him on their first day together. By the second day he was feeling much better & snuggling with her. She was very respectful of our space & left our house super clean. She was reassuring to any of my concerns & sent plenty of pictures.

Elise did a wonderful job of house sitting for me. She gave me frequent updates on how Georgie was doing and did a fabulous job of making him and me feel comfortable. She’s great at communicating and very responsive. I think she’s especially good at adapting to unexpected situations and keeping pet parents in the loop. I highly recommend Elise :) I know Georgie had a great time :)

Mara was great both with our dogs and with flexibility in our busy graduation weekend schedule! Our dogs haven’t had much experience with other caregivers, and they trusted her quickly and enjoyed their time with her. She was able to take each of their unique needs and personalities in mind when planning for their care each day! 10/10 would recommend!
Sarah did a great job with my senior pit bull Frank and they clearly enjoyed each other's company. She followed instructions, alerted me to concerns, and was responsible and conscientious in providing care. I felt comfortable knowing he was well cared for during my three weeks away from home with Sarah there.

Briana accepted to sit for us again and we are very lucky we can rely on her. She was able to sit for us at our new location and she provided great quality care to Hunny Girl. Briana was incredible with some special needs we are facing and i found a happy and healthy pup upon my return. Thank you again and hope we can count on you in the future!
