“Kate is so flexible and accommodating! I got connected with her so that I could get a few hours without the dog while visiting San Diego on vacation. It worked out GREAT. I was able to have fun and I could see in the videos that my dog had a great time too. It was easy to relax knowing Cheddar was in good hands.”

“Yue was great to work with and took great care of my doggies! She sent pictures and videos and kept me up to date on what they were up to and how things were going. Communication was great!”


“Took my dog on multiple walks and gave prompt updates. Was cognizant of dogs boundaries and easily judges a dog’s comfort level while being caring. My dog is usually very standoffish but easily warmed up to him. I plan to use him in the future 10/10”

“Stephen was an excellent sitter as expected. He made sure to show me the parts of his home that our new puppy would be exposed to and his proximity to a few other dogs he was currently sitting for. I could immediately tell that he had a good handling of dogs and provided photos and videos throughout the day. He was also flexible with the pickup time as my partner was running later than expected. Looking forward to using Stephen more regularly!”

“Julia and Jack are amazing, what a team! Their dogs are lovely, playful, and happy go lucky, got along great with my pup! Tons of pictures tons of updates well worth the price! I strongly recommend!”


“Viviana and her family took such excellent care of Tug that he was happy to be back for his all day visit, even on the 3rd day. Tug usually does not want to leave our side, but he enjoyed his visit so much, he was happy to be dropped off each day. In the pictures provided he was on walks relaxed and enjoying himself. We will definitely rebook! Thank you for providing fun, safe, loving care!”

“Shawna took amazing care of my 18-month-old Frenchie! From the moment we arrived for drop-off, she was warm, kind, professional, and ready to jump right in. I had never left my dog with a stranger before—especially someone I met online—so I was definitely hesitant. But after just one experience with Shawna, I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Throughout the day, she sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It honestly looked like my pup was having the time of his life! I think he may have had more fun with Shawna than he did on our long car ride home. We were visiting the area for my daughter's birthday and staying at a pet-friendly hotel, but we didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone all day. Booking with Shawna ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our trip. She also has a friendly dog of her own and thoughtfully introduced them. They spent the day walking, sunbathing, playing, and cuddling, and it was obvious my Frenchie felt safe, happy, and loved. If you're on the fence about using Rover or booking with Shawna, don't be. She exceeded every expectation, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Shawna, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! - The Hill Family”

About: I have owned three dogs, in which two are yorkies and one is a miniature schnauzer, in the past four years and have taken great care of them. I have been sitting dogs through Rover for over a year now. I currently study at UC San Diego, and I have plenty of time to play, go on walks and provide care for your furry friends. Your furry friend will be kept in a spacious room where I stay as well, they won’t be caged, but not allowed on the bed.
“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”


About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.
“Star was amazing with our 3 pups! They had the best time. She was communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept them active and provided the best report card. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and reliable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I make it my priority to give them plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to help! I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work from home, so I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be readily available and accommodate you and your pet’s individual needs and routine. I’m pretty flexible with dates and scheduling, so just let me know what days you’re thinking, and we can find something that works! I have a spacious, clean, pet-safe, and fully fenced patio where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time. I’m also happy to come to your home if that’s more comfortable or convenient for you and your pet. I’m flexible and always happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs!

“Cecile took SUCH good care of Olive. She was worn out and so happy when she got home. She sent me picture updates and was willing to be flexible with my drop off and pick up times. I can’t wait to use Cecile again!!”

Joanna was great - sent updates and responsive to questions, she made me feel safe knowing she was confident handling my slightly reactive dog Winny. This was my first time leaving Winny with an unfamiliar face but Winny warmed up to her quickly and I'm glad we have a place she can be cared for when we aren't home.

Yue, was an excellent day care provider for my Yorkshire Terrier and I’m very thankful for the help she provided for the two days that she provided care. She sent me photos and videos during the stay which let me know my puppy was in good care and was very prompt to reply to any of my messages. Yue, also followed all our needs specific to our puppy’s care which was very helpful. Thanks again Yue for all your help. 😄

Michelle was excellent as a dog sitter. She was so kind to Ellie, responsible, communicative, and thorough with the instructions I left for Ellie. She is incredibly friendly and has a wonderful space to host your furbaby. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!

Stephen was an excellent sitter as expected. He made sure to show me the parts of his home that our new puppy would be exposed to and his proximity to a few other dogs he was currently sitting for.

I just picked up our dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He can be nervous in new situations, but Misha was super sweet, she made our dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I appreciated the updates and could tell she genuinely cared about him. Seeing him happy and relaxed when we picked him up meant so much to us. I highly recommend her and would gladly trust her with our dog again!

Bruna was awesome! She responded so quickly to such a last minute request and she was great, she also had a frenchie who was such a sweetie and made me feel so much more comfortable considering it was my first time getting a sitter for my dog! So easy going and so lovely
