“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”
“Diana was absolutely wonderful with Loki and communicated very well. Loki was so happy and I feed comfortable and knew he was safe with her. She took him on walks and he was so loved. Would love to book again!”
“Kate took great care on my dog Nico! She handled him so well with the other dogs she was watching. I was also running late for pick up so I appreciate the flexibility. Thank you!”
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.
About: I have worked at Camp Run a Mutt and DogZenergy, where I gained experience in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments! Recognizing that every dog or cat is unique, I strive to provide personalized care that meets their individual needs. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a reactive/fearful rescue, I tailor my approach to ensure their comfort and well-being. Special skills include: administering medications, specialized care for senior or disabled pets, and dealing with anxious/fearful behavior. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I can fit in walks throughout the day and am happy to do pet check-ins ! I am available for pet sitting and can easily tailor my schedule around your pet's needs. I have a rescue pup that is friendly with most dogs as well.
About: Hey there! I’m Brandon, and to put it simply: I absolutely adore animals. My main goal when hanging out with your pet isn't just to check boxes like feeding and walking—I really want to form a genuine bond with them! There is seriously nothing better than seeing an animal happy, playful, and completely comfortable around me. I’ve dog-sat for my neighbors' pets tons of times, so I'm super used to keeping track of feeding schedules, handling playtime, and making sure everyone stays safe and happy .I’m totally unfazed by the messy side of things. If a pup wants to chill on the couch and slobber all over me, I am 100% fine with that. I am currently working at Abercrombie & Fitch part time but can easily reschedule my shifts to accommodate for your pet as long as I have 3 day notice. I have balls and toys for your dog to play with as well as cleaning supplies just in case an accident may occur. I am very response to any calls or texts I may receive in regards to your pet.
“Natalyia was great. There was very good communication and lots of updates and pics. She asked if I wanted to do a meet-and-greet before the actual daycare date, and I think it helped Chewy to meet her sweet pup Teddy ahead of time. I will definitely call on Natalyia in the future for dog sitting.”
“Stephen and his girlfriend were incredibly accommodating—especially on short notice. Chewy always came home happy and tired, and it was clear he loved spending time with them. They were communicative and caring, even letting me know when he had an upset stomach and making sure he was well taken care of. I’d definitely use them again if I’m in the area. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I grew up in the countryside, where my family worked closely with sheep and dogs were an essential part of daily life. From an early age, I developed a deep understanding of dogs’ behavior, needs, and the importance of providing them with consistent care, exercise, and companionship. Over the years, I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, and both family and friends have consistently trusted me to walk, supervise, and look after their pets. What distinguishes my care is the level of attention, affection, and dedication I provide to every dog. I believe dogs thrive when they receive not only proper exercise and structure through regular walks and activity, but also genuine affection, patience, and emotional comfort. I always ensure that each dog feels safe, loved, stimulated, and truly cared for while in my company. Currently, I am studying, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I can adapt most of my day to walk, play with, and take care of your dogs. I am available throughout the week and can offer my services at any time that is convenient for you. I am committed to providing attentive and loving care for your pets, making sure they are happy, safe, and well-exercised while you are away. I pay close attention to their individual needs, enjoy engaging them in fun and stimulating activities, and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. You can trust that your pets will receive the same level of attention and affection as they would at home.
About: My fiancée and I love animals so much! We have a one year old goldendoodle that would love a friend to play with on weekends and long breaks. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, and absolutely love spending time with them. I am a teacher so I am available on my long breaks to watch your pets and am available on weekends when you’re away. We live in a spacious apartment with a balcony, but we have a pet friendly rooftop and terrace we will let your doggy run around and play on. It’s a private terrace for residents only, so your pet will be safe and able to run around and play!
About: Living on the countryside, animals have always been around the house. I grew up with three boxers and two chihuahuas so I am experienced with many breeds and sizes. I’ve seen all the stages dogs go through from pups to old pups so I hope to help the best I can with my experience in raising dogs. I’m currently staying the whole summer here in San Diego so I’m looking to connect with more fun friends as I am away from home. I’m on the women’s soccer team at UCSD and with earlier trainings, I have so much time to play and care for your animals. I have a cat of my own who has an understanding personality for other animals when it comes to warming up to each other. I have a backyard with a fence enclosing it giving your animals a fresh outdoor moment. There is a nice dog park less than five minutes away from my house which the dogs will enjoy so much.

Thank you Kate! Our first time ever leaving our two dogs with anyone and couldn't have been any more pleased. Kate sent us updates and pictures and we had no worries while they were in her care. We will definitely rebook when we need a sitter. Highly recommend
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!
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
Anna was very professional and quick to respond. She sent tons of photos and updates, and her calm and welcoming demeanor really put my shy girl at ease. As a worrier, I absolutely loved the safety of the fenced-in yard. We’ll definitely be using Anna again!
Jessica is awesome! She is so sweet and is very responsive. I had an urgent need to find care for my pup Chewie due to work and Jessica was very understanding and accommodating. She made sure my pup had everything he needed to feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend her and reach out to her again when I need someone to look after my boy!
So awesome and kind! Left my 10 week pup with him and he stayed in touch with updates and made me feel very comfortable to leave her in his Care! Certainly would recommend, especially for pups who aren’t fully vaccinated since he has no other pets and also give full attention to fur kiddos!
