“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!”

“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.”

“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”
“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”

“Alexandra is the best. Seriously, you will not have any trouble letter he take care of your little furry loved ones. I almost don't want to write a review because that means she will get a lot busier, but she deserves 5 stars and more!”

“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!”


About: Hi, my name is Jenna! I have been providing paid pet sitting and dog walking services since I was about 13, caring for both dogs and cats through regular clients and referrals. My experience includes overnight stays, daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and administering medications for pets with extra care needs. Over the years, I have become very comfortable with a variety of temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I have a background in healthcare, which has made me especially attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific instructions, maintaining routines, and keeping a close eye on pets to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. I recently relocated to the area and currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your loved one(s) with paws! I have a flexible schedule while taking prerequisite courses for nursing school, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable pet care. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and can easily adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I am dependable with timing and routines, and make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I am very attentive to safety, whether that’s securing doors and gates, using leashes properly, or monitoring behavior during walks and interactions. I also make sure your home is treated with respect and left exactly as I found it. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“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.”

“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 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.
“Emma was a lifesaver! She jumped on a last minute request to take care of my dogs and spoiled them with love, cuddles, and care. She kept me updated the whole time, which really put me at ease, and treated them like her own. My dogs were so happy with her, I’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you Emma!!!❤️”

About: ∧,,,∧ ( ̳• · • ̳) / づ♡ Hi amazing pet parents please make sure to see my availability/calendar before sending a request! Thank you so very much❗️ Ever since I was 5 years old I have known the unconditional love and joy animals and pets bring to people and especially to me. At 6 years old I got my first boarding experience with a German Shepherd named Emma, who I fell completely in love with and was sad to give her back after. I have had the most experience with puppies and dogs my whole life but I have just recently become a new cat mama and we truly have an unbreakable bond.

About: Ive taken care of dogs ages ranging from 2-15. I’ve also been relied on to take on care for a boxer mix for a client’s 7 month deployment. I’m available everyday starting at 3pm and free every single weekend. If communicated beforehand I can make adjustments and make a schedule that can accommodate both of us! :) I have a dog named Max (maltipoo) I will love and care for your furbaby as my own. Hopefully Max can meet his future friends!
About: Hi there, my names James and I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years. I’m a disabled Marine who loves caring and helping animals. I’m also a certified vet assistant, who not to toot my own horn, is amazing at what they do. I’ve pet/kid watch for a couple of friends with never an issue. I also foster animals for a local agency in San Diego. (SCDR). So if I’m in your area and your kids want some park time or walk time please let me know 😊🙏 As of right now me and my kids are usually at the dog park by 8:30 am, and than we go in the evening before dinner 4-5 pm. Also I have a truck so hauling multiple pets has never been an issue 😊🙏 My yard is fenced, but other than that they can roam the home 😊 water is always available indoors so it’s cool. There’s always a comfy spot to lay as well. Bones and Balls galore as well 😊
About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."
About: I’ve cared for many dogs over the years (and recently a young cat) between my own dog, family pets, roommate’s puppies and kittens. My senior staffie lived to almost 16 yo and required a lot of love and care in her final years. I raised her plus help dog sit for family and friends of dogs of all ages. From puppy to senior dogs, I love them all. My old roommate’s cat turned me into a cat lover over the last year of getting to have a kitten in the house, learning their funny behaviors and becoming knowledgeable about cat specific behaviors, illnesses, etc to look out for which made me a cat aunt now! Currently there is a 70 lb Staffy in the home who I adopted over a year ago. She is a tank, but also a big baby and likes (most) other dogs and tolerates/runs away from cats lol. Your pet would need to be crate trained to stay with us as extra precautions for my dog & their safety. I work in the field and from home about 60/40 in home remodel. So if your dog is good in the car and you’re comfortable with it, I’m able to take them with me for rides often times during the day, during the week. Otherwise weekends and evenings I am home the majority of the time. I live in an 1100sf condo with a good sized patio and area for dog potty breaks, fully fenced. I want your pets to feel like they are at home & will treat them as such. Being in a new place can be scary when mom & dad are away, so my goal is to make them as comfortable as possible. :)
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
About: Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life growing up. I love all dogs from petite puppers to gentile giants. I am a HUGE dog person but I also have a large spot in my heart for all cats. I have flexible schedule job and I have time to provide proper pet care. I understand commitment to a furry family member that depends on for his or her health and well-being. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space.
Terra Nova pet parents share their Rover experiences
We absolutely loved having Jenna watch our fur babies! She was very amazing with hourly updates, photos, and even videos! She followed my instructions very clearly and was not afraid to ask any questions. We are very excited to have her watch them again :))

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!
