“I’ve had Emily take care of my feathered and fur kiddos before and as always, will have her watch them again! She’s super easy to communicate with and took such good care of them! Thank you Emily!! ❤️”

About: I have owned and taken care of all kinds of dogs throughout my life! I have walked, dog sat, and fed for families before! One of my biggest loves in life in my dog Lilo, and probably your dog too. I am currently not working, as I am home for the summer from college so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most days of the week and weekends. In a clients home I like to honor the systems and rules that their household has in place. If that is making sure the dog is supervised, or taking extra precautions while taking walks, I try to ensure the environment is always safe and comfortable for the dog!
“Amazing! She kept me in the loop, followed the directions left and was very attentive to my pups! I miss them, but Taryn made leaving them as easy as leaving them can be, knowing they were in good hands! ❤️”

“Paige was amazing at communicating with us and sent us plenty of pictures to reassure us that the kitties were doing great. She was super cooperative and flexible with scheduling. Really appreciate her help and would 100% book again in the future!”


About: Hi! I recently moved from France to San Diego and I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I grew up with dogs in a house and also had my own dog for several years while living in an apartment, so I’m comfortable with different environments and routines. I’m an active person and I love spending time outdoors, so I’d be happy to take your dog on walks, play, and make sure they get the exercise they need. I truly enjoy being around dogs and will treat yours like my own I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most weekdays, especially during the day while my wife is at work. I can easily fit pet care into my routine and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and exercise they need. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and confident. I respect their routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific habits or needs. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care so the dog feels relaxed and well looked after at all times.
“Jenny was very quick to respond and very communicative. I had to make a booking very last minute and she was super flexible and willing to squeeze in time for a meet and greet. Very nice and sweet and patient with my cat Venus. Overall wonderful, would highly recommend and would book again.”

“Fabienne was amazing in a pinch! My regular sitter wasn’t available for a last minute trip I had but Fabienne was willing to come watch the girls with just a facetime call and instructions from me. She sent some great photos and updates, and I could see was treating my cats so well. Will definitely use her again!”

“This was our first rover for our pup and they were so so quick to respond, sent pics and did a great job! Thank you so much. Will definitely use again when we are going to be away too long.”

“Julie is the best - a thougtful and professional sitter who takes lots of great photos and writes really fun to read Rover cards. Both of our cats adore Julie and enjoy their visits with her very much - highly recommend!”

“Ella is so sweet and my boys seem to like her already. They are sometimes difficult cats so I appreciate her willingness to accept this task of being their cat sitter/friend.”

“Natalie is the sweetest and we will be using her again in the future! She sent the cutest videos of our cats to update us and she is so so great and understanding. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Leah, thank you so much for taking such great care of my dogs! Your kindness and genuine love for animals truly shine, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in your care. I’m so grateful for your attentiveness and the way you made them feel so loved and comfortable.”

“Mari took great care of our cat during the holidays! She is very attentive and responsive and kept us up to date with notes and pics. Oli seemed to be very comfortable around Mari and enjoying his time :) Would book her again!”

University City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Audrey was great with our cats once again!! Applied topical meds to our lady's ears with no issue at all. The cats got plenty of plays and photo opportunities. Audrey is always super communicative and gives thorough recaps every day. We look forward to seeing the Audrey Notes when we are out of town!!

This is my first time having Sara watch my (diva) fur baby, Luna. Sara was great! She was able to step in, last minute, under non-ideal circumstances and she not only did a fantastic job (with lots of photo updates!) but Luna seemed to really like her. Luna is a nervous cat, and can sometimes be “aggressive” if she doesn’t know someone - but she was rubbing up against Sara’s leg like they’ve been best buddies for years! Will definitely keep her in the books!

Again Aayushi was nothing but the best! Aayushi is always my #1 choice when it comes to picking a dog sitter! She gives me peace of mind when leaving Lola with her and I never have to worry about being away. If you have a dog with any kind of needs Aayushi is great at accommodating to them!

Ariana truly went above and beyond taking care of our pup! Our dog Kermit has severe anxiety, it is not often he will go up to a stranger in our neighborhood without barking. During our meet and greet, he immediately went up to her, I knew she would be a great fit then! I got plenty of updates during her drop in visit and great pictures. Her updates were super detailed and I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in great hands. She went above and beyond to help clean up the stuffing from his toys and treated my home with great care. Ariana was also extremely punctual and quick to respond. I could not recommend her more!
