“Yating was so great with our Luna. She got her comfortable really fast. Luna was so happy afterwards when we picked her up. Also great communication and care from Yating. We’ll definitely book with her again!!! Thank youuu”


“It was super easy to book with him, he provided images and updates during the time of service. Was very responsive and flexible with our schedule! Would highly recommend him!”

“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!”

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: 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.
“Danielle was great! Very responsive and went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her! He had a great time at her place and came back so tired from playing all day (exactly what I wanted!). She sent pictures/videos throughout the day too!”

“I reached out to Holly with a last minute sitter request. Holly was super responsive to my requests regarding Wee. I appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond by picking her up from my other sitter, as well as being flexible around whether I would need day care or overnight care for her. Will definitely book again!”


“Viviana is amazing! She took such wonderful care of my little fur baby, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My puppy came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. Overall, 10/10 experience!”

“Ginger loves staying with Sandy. The first time she stayed with Sandy was for about 5 days and she would have been happy to stay longer. I’m so glad for Sandy as I no longer have a dog who resists going to daycare.”

“Anne and her family were wonderful right off the bat ! I immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving our new puppy with her ! She was always quick to respond with my questions before and during my puppy’s visit! We will definitely reach out again !”

“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”

“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Susana really helped me out when I was in a bind- she accommodated my 8 month old for daycare last minute. He had a great time and passed out right when he got into the car to go home! Thanks again!”

“Lucas is wonderful! My pup has come back happy and exhausted every stay. I wanted an experienced sitter that also has dogs of their own and/or has others under their care so his set up has been perfect for us. It's obvious that he has the knowledge, patience, and kindness to care for dogs. I'm a repeat customer for sure!”

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. 😄
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

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 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!
