We were so lucky to have Madison take care of our dog over our 13 day vacation. Duke suffers from "only-dog" syndrome and doesn't socialize with other dogs much, so he gets anxious and doesn't always have the best manners at first. Madison and Moses took the time to work with him and teach him how to be part of the pack. She stayed in contact with us with regular updates and pictures and always reassured us that he was meeting the expectations they were setting for him. We were confident that he was safe, well cared for, and in the very best hands that he could be in while we were away. I can not recommend Madison highly enough if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.

This is the 2nd time Cristina looks after my two mini aussies. This time it was for a whole month. My girls really enjoyed themselves. Always happy, spoiled and I have always felt at peace leaving them at her home. She and her husband and really great and family oriented people. Thank you so much for looking so nicely after them

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

My wife and I are were so pleased with the care Berenice provided for our 5 month old puppy Benji. She kept us updated with messages about his feeding times and sent us lots of pictures while we were out enjoying our wedding anniversary. As a first time dog owner and our first time using this Rover app, our experience was phenomenal and we felt blessed to have found such a loving and caring pet sitter for our puppy. Berenice is truly dedicated and passionate with the care she offers. We will definitely use her service next time we vacation down in San Diego. Our dog already misses her lol. We highly recommend her 125%

She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!

I recently broke my wrist (strong arm) and live alone with my many pets. It was difficult to care for my pets. Erica agreed to help me with feeding and caring for my 2 dogs and 8 former street cats. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice daily. Erica came to my house twice a day, 12 hours apart, for almost 2 months like clockwork. She was so kind, gentle and dependable. She clearly knows and loves animals. One night my diabetic cat was having a hard time with his diabetes. Erica stuck around and helped me find an emergency vet and then helped me get him in his carrier, which is quite a task! She truly cares about animals and her experience working with them is evident. It was such a feeling of relief to know that Erica helped me through this tough time. I completely trust her and will definitely hire her again for pet care. She is the best!

Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!

Erica is fantastic ! We were initially concerned about leaving our 5 month old puppy Lola for one week, but Erica quickly disseminated our concerns by demonstrating her knowledge and experience of dogs/puppies. She understands their needs and is good at meeting those needs. Our high energy, stubborn puppy learned how to "sit" under Erica's care! Need I say more ! Erica also provided us with daily updates/photos which really helped us enjoy our vacation without any concerns. When we arrived home, it was obvious that Lola too was pleased with Erica.

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

About: I recently moved to the United States from another country and am currently studying English. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had both dogs and cats and truly understand how much they mean to their families. Back home, I have a senior Yorkshire Terrier who is 17 years old and still in good shape and decent health for her age. Caring for her has given me a lot of experience with senior dogs, patience, and gentle attention. I know how important routine, comfort, and love are. Being away from my own dog makes caring for other pets even more special to me. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm retired and studying part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to spend walking, playing, and giving pets attention they deserve. I live in an apartment with a secure building and quite environment. My home is calm, clean, and safe. I ensure regular walks, playtime, and supervision so pets stay comfortable and well cared for.

About: I have always grown up with dogs and have never been in the house without them. I have had my own dog for the past two years and I regularly help take care of my neighbors pets as well as my friends. I have taken care of dogs from 2 pounds all the way up to over 100 pounds and I would say I’m very well-versed in how to care for animals. My dog is extremely dog friendly and would love to meet and play with your dog friend.! If your dog is unsure of other dogs, then I can walk your dog without my dog or I can dogs sit at your house without bringing my dog with me. I currently work a hybrid position where I am fully home on Mondays and Fridays and during the weekend. During the week I come home during my lunch break from work to walk my dog, so if needed, I can walk your dog during my lunch break as well. Mondays and Fridays, I am fully available to care for your dog in my home, at your home or whichever arrangement works best. I do live in a dog friendly apartment, but I can care for either your dog in either my home or in your home. My dog and I are constantly going to the park and beach so if your dog is comfortable, I can also take them with me to the park or beach.

About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.

About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am self-employed and work primarily from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

I like to make myself available for my clients and their pets as soon as they need me. Im pretty open to whatever the client needs both in my home and yours. I do require that your animals are friendly with cats/dogs as I have both if we’re doing over night stays.

We were so lucky to have Madison take care of our dog over our 13 day vacation. Duke suffers from "only-dog" syndrome and doesn't socialize with other dogs much, so he gets anxious and doesn't always have the best manners at first. Madison and Moses took the time to work with him and teach him how to be part of the pack. She stayed in contact with us with regular updates and pictures and always reassured us that he was meeting the expectations they were setting for him. We were confident that he was safe, well cared for, and in the very best hands that he could be in while we were away. I can not recommend Madison highly enough if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.

Erica is a PRO. We did a meet and greet and she was incredibly thorough! Our pup stayed over night and the entire time Erica went updates and photos of our boy. He seemed safe, happy, and at home. We definitely will be using her again!

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My dogs were genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time they were there. I received regular updates, photos, and great communication everything you could hope for when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. It gave me total peace of mind, and I’m so grateful. Highly recommend!

Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.

Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.

Samantha watched our Lab Shepherd mix, and our dog was in absolute heaven! She has a lot of anxiety, but Samantha did an amazing job following her routine and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated and gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

Kirsten took wonderful care of my dog Ivy while I was away. She was very conscientious and made sure that Ivy, who was recovering from being spayed, was happy and not overactive. I have already booked Ivy’s next stay! Thank you Kirsten!

This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!

Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!

Marissa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is older and needs a little extra patience and understanding, and Marissa handled everything with such kindness and care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about making sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She was also an excellent communicator throughout the entire time we were away. Marissa regularly sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to see how well our dog was doing. Those little check-ins really meant a lot. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed, especially with an older dog who needs a bit more gentleness. I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.

Moose & Maggie had a great time to with Monique. I received posts that kept me updated on how they got settled in and enjoyed their stay. I will use Monique again when I am back in San Diego.
