“Tatiana was fabulous with our boys! We needed someone to watch our older dogs on short notice and she was available for a meet and greet right away, and we booked with her immediately. She kept us updated while we were away with photos of our dogs, daily updates on their walks and activities, and questions to make sure she was giving them the best care. We won't hesitate to rebook with Tatiana in the future.”

“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!”

“Alex did a super job. She asked good questions to understand my pup better, and was very attentive to her throughout the day. I look forward to using Alex’s services again real soon.”

“Caroline was a great sitter! She kept me informed of my dog’s care and gave me peace of mind. She even cleaned my rug for me after my dog threw up on it. I will book Caroline again and throughly recommend her! Christine”
About: I’ve been known as the dog, cat, hamster's sitter with my friends and family. I grew up with dogs my whole life and just loving animals. My friends and family see how much I adore their pets and how they adore me back so makes them feel comfortable with me watching over them if it’s for a day or a week, etc. I love that they trust me with basically their child. IYKYK! I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I know it’s so important for them to get out and get their sniffs. I mean I enjoy getting my steps in as well! Even stopping by to say a quick hello, a quick potty break, and a quick play, makes me happy to see them get excited for some love and attention. I’m your girl if you need my services for your lil cuties! I currently moved back to San Diego from LA and am enjoying spending time with my family. I have an open schedule Monday through Thursday, so am happy to also take time to spend with animals that need love and attention ❤️ I have a home that is safe and secure. I can crate if needed in my home or clients home. Love to cuddle and play and take them out when needed.
“Our dog Bo loves Sarah and we’re so happy he feels comfortable around her. He’s pretty high energy so she will take him outside and play fetch which is his favorite! She’s also really patient with him because he can be a little temperamental and we appreciate that!”

“Beshoy was excellent with our two high-energy pups. Our big dog can be reactive towards other dogs and I felt completely confident with him walking / feeding him. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were on our trip! Loved all of the photo updates”

About: I’m dog lover with experience in dog walking and pet sitting. Having volunteered at local shelters, I have experience with many small/medium breeds. Getting to know each dog’s unique personality and preferred walking style is something I take pride in! Coming from a family of dog lovers, I understand they’re part of the family :) I am currently working remotely on a flexible schedule and have plenty of downtime during my day to accommodate daily walks, both short and long. I live in an area with plenty of green space and my normal exercise routine is walking, so I would love to have a companion with me while I do it. I like to make sure the dog is comfortable with me for at least a couple of hours before bringing them into their new environment. My apartment is fully animal-proofed, so dangerous items and choking hazards are put away before any animal enters the home. I like to have their bed and toys (and maybe a blanket from home!) in a quiet corner so they can be away from the kitchen and the front door. Also, I aim to entertain them and give them personalized attention depending on their personality and independence level. Overall, I am attentive and strive to create a peaceful environment for your dog.
“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.”

“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.”

“Lucas was great! He spent a week at our home with our Great Dane Goose. Goose seemed super happy (and most importantly, tired) once we returned home. Lucas was responsive, respectful, and communicative through out the trip. Will 100% be repeat clients.”

About: I started my own dog running business in Northern California. I would take my clients for runs and walks outside of their environment including the redwood forest and beaches. I’m responsible for picking up and dropping off at your home. I have pet sitter experience in my own home in the past. I’m free daily to do pet sitting while I’m studying. I do walks daily around the neighborhood. Anytime works for me I can do day sitting or multiple days. For my clients home I will follow the owners instructions. I will be available for walks or runs for dogs that can be use more energy burned.
“Ashley took such good care of our girl, Ellie! She kept us updated throughout the weekend and played and snuggled with her. We greatly appreciate her care and attention! ?”

“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!”

“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, and enjoy spending time with them. I truly love spending time with them and enjoy watching them. I am not currently working as of right now. I am pretty open with watching animals on weekdays or weekends, unless I am out of town or something comes up. Other than that, I am pretty free. I only care for pets in other people’s homes. I have fur babies of my own, but one of my dogs has anxiety issues being around other dogs she doesn’t know, so I prefer to watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own homes.
About: Hello everyone my name is Arantxa and I am jazzed about critters of all types but particularly dogs, cats and rabbits, oh my! I volunteered at the Chula Vista Animal Shelter for two years, have owned over 10 pups of my own, and regularly help care for the pets of several people in my community who suggested I try Rover since I love this work so much. :•) Dogs are a big passion of mine and I would be absolutely delighted to get to know your furry friend and their needs! I used to own many dogs and would love to incorporate more animals into my every day. Caring for animals feels like life is light! I have a fenced yard and can walk for many hours on end with furry creatures while giving them ample opportunities to sniff the world!
Terra Nova pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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!

Beshoy was excellent with our two high-energy pups. Our big dog can be reactive towards other dogs and I felt completely confident with him walking / feeding him. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were on our trip! Loved all of the photo updates

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.

Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆

This is the second time Kaitlin has looked after Lola. The day before our trip, Lola had a problem with her eye, and the vet prescribed drops. Kaitlin reassured us that she was in good hands. She was so patient and loving with Lola. She administered the drops and sent us pictures and updates. Her eye was getting better and better! We were able to enjoy our son's graduation and return home with a happy dog! Kaitlin is the best! I'm so glad we found her!

Emma was wonderful with my pets! My cat is shy around strangers and also is diabetic. He warmed up to Emma quickly, and she gave him his insulin shots without a problem. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. When you're on vacation, seeing them, even in pictures, is important!
