“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our puppy dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She sent us lots of photos and our baby girl clearly adored her. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”

“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”

“Amelia watched our two dogs, cat and house for 10 days and did an amazing job. The animals loved her and she took great care of our home while she was here. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He’s usually scared and anxious with strangers but he warmed up quickly with Emma. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the day.”


“Marissa was a wonderful sitter at my home: great communication, reliable and responsive. Five dogs, including one senior who is blind and a testy terrier who challenges everyone, is no small undertaking and yet I had complete confidence that they were all safe and well cared for while I was away visiting my mom out of state. I'm very grateful for her caring help, and look forward to working with her again.”
“Dominique was the best! She was very attentive, communicative, and amenable to both our dogs and our needs. She left our house exactly how it was when she got here. From her updates, I could tell the dogs were well taken care of and loved on. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking for sitters in the future.”

“Jackie was so amazing! She gave my babies their medicine and cleaned them daily. Very respectful and kind. She sent pictures daily and watched my cats for just about 2 weeks. I’d definitely book her again if needed!”

About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.
“Norberto is incredibly prompt and responsive, and handled our high-energy husky like a professional. Norberto is very loving and affectionate as well, and it was a huge relief to have our dog in such capable hands while on vacation. I will definitely use Norberto again in the future.”


About: Growing up with 2 dogs and 3 cats, I had several years of experience with taking care of animals. I have also been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 6 years, taking care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working a part time job from 6 AM to 11 AM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but otherwise I will be able to spend a majority of the time with your pets. I also am a full time student at UCSD, so my schedule can vary a bit when school is in session. When I am house sitting I can do whatever is needed. All I need to know is their sleeping arrangements, feeding times, and walk/play time frequency. I never invite guests over and I prioritize the pets I am caring for at any given time.
About: I've cared for family dogs most of my life which has left me with an abundance of experience with caring for dogs. I had a beautiful 13 year old pug, who I was the main caregiver for, who passed away in 2021 due to cancer. Since then, I have slowly begun to care for other people's dogs and I am absolutely loving it! My availability is currently open so it is a great time to book me! My general availability is: Mondays 8:30am-8:30pm Tuesdays-Fridays 8:30am-8:30pm Saturdays 10am-7pm Sundays 10am-7pm If your dog is more like your baby, I've got you both covered! I provide quality pet care and attentiveness to your dogs' overall wellbeing and safety. I have an overflowing supply of love and patience for animals! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
“Daisy was so great with my pets! We have a young puppy who is not always the easiest to handle and she was very patient and understanding. She gave so many updates on how the pets were doing and went above and beyond! Definitely would use her again in the future 🙂”

About: I grew up with my own pets and have always loved animals. One of my favorite things about them is that no two pets are ever the same. Every animal has their own personality and their own way of showing you what they need. I began working with animals in 2020 as a kennel technician. I cared for pets while they were boarding and made sure they were fed, comfortable and clean while still feeling loved away from home. I later gained experience assisting veterinary technicians and caring for pets in a veterinary hospital. I helped with routine appointments, medications and emergencies. I also worked in veterinary reception and became familiar with many different aspects of pet care. I love caring for all kinds of animals. That includes energetic dogs and puppies who love to explore as well as pets who would rather relax at home and spend time with a companion. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets. My oldest dog is 20 years and is still happy, playful and full of personality. Although he is now blind and deaf, he still has the heart and spirit of a puppy. Over the years we have learned how to adapt to his needs and help him confidently get around. He has taught me so much about patience, understanding and how much joy our pets can bring to our lives at every age. I know how much your pets mean to you because I feel the same way about my own. I treat every pet I care for like they are my own. I want you to feel confident knowing they are receiving the same love, patience and attention I would want for my pets. I would love the opportunity to get to know your companion and care for them just as you would while you are away. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide your pets with care, attention and walks around their usual routines. I can also provide consistent play breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. On weekends especially, I love being active and exploring new parks and places. If your pet is energetic and loves an adventure, I would be happy to bring them along! If they would rather stay home and snuggle, they will get plenty of affection from me too. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is not always easy. Your pets are family and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. When I meet a new pet, I always pay attention to their body language and take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. Some pets are excited to meet someone new while others may need more time to warm up. I do everything I can to meet each pet where they are and adapt to their individual needs. During walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, I will follow your pet's usual routines and your instructions as closely as possible. I will make sure they receive the care, exercise, attention and love they need while keeping you updated along the way. My goal is not only to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and comfortable but also to give you peace of mind while you are away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for and hopefully not miss them too much! When house sitting, I understand that I am also caring for your home. I will treat your space with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Southwest is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southwest
Alynna looked after our dog, fish and house while we were away. She provided frequent updates and was responsive so we could relax while we were away from home. It was clear everything and everyone was beautifully and thoughtfully cared for. Absolutely recommend!

Beth has been so great! Frank was thrilled to see her again, and she clearly enjoys spending time with him. She is great about following my directions, and takes such good care of.him and our home. It is so important to be able to trust the person staying in your home and caring for your canine family member. So happy to have Beth as our sitter again.

Our family can’t thank Ashley enough for doing such an amazing job pet sitting for our 5 dogs. As a first time user of rover, she made the whole process very easy. From meet and greet and all the way to the end of the service. She follows instructions to the tee and gives updates constantly with pictures. She makes extra effort caring for our dogs like it was her own. She is a very highly recommended sitter. You will not go wrong with Ashley

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!

I can’t thank Allison enough for the incredible care she gave my dog. As a first-time Rover user with a very anxious pup, I was incredibly nervous about leaving him, especially since he was just one of four dogs she was looking after. However, Allison went above and beyond to make sure he felt special and safe. She sent hourly photo updates and sweet comments that kept me connected to him during my event. Seeing his happy face in a house full of new friends completely put my heart at ease. She turned what could have been a stressful day into a smooth, wonderful experience. If you have a nervous dog, she is truly the best person to trust!

Greatest person to watch your dog. Very flexible with any times and treats your dog like one of his own. And he takes great care of his dogs for sure. Tyler will dedicate the entire time you book to making your pet feel like a rockstar and it doesn’t get any better than that.

We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.

I would totally recommend Eleanor! It was my first time having a dog sitter and she was excellent. My husband and I were worried about leaving as we just moved here but Eleanor made everything a breeze. She took great care of our dog and sent updates multiple times a day! Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely book with her again!
