First time leaving Jersey at anyone else’s house = anxiety in our dog & family. May truly set our hearts at ease upon arrival with her kind & gentle greeting to calm Jersey’s shaking nerves, during the 4-day stay with adorable pics & updates, and at departure as she returned Jersey to us with clean paws. Jersey is blind & diabetic so needs injections, and May took such great care of her. Thank you for everything! We are so lucky to have found you.

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

Shannon and her family did a wonderful job caring for our 4 year old Australian Cattle Dog on an 8 day trip. The space was clean, organized, and set up with pets in mind. Communication included frequent updates, along with photos/ videos. She took great care in giving walks/ exercise, and making sure feeding time went well. There were two friendly dogs at the home full time, and there were other dogs that stayed too, but Shannon was very careful in selecting dogs that would get along together. This was my first time boarding out, and Shannon made the process very user friendly and positive. I would definitely recommend her!

Amy is great with clear communication, sending pictures, and making his stay feel like home. Bent is looking forward to his next stay! If this is your 1st time using Rover, highly recommend using Amy. As a 1st time user, Amy was the best choice for me and Benny Bears. Thank you so much! Blessed I found you! 🙏🐾🐾

About: I’ve been taking care of animals, my whole life. This is the first time in my life I don’t have any of my own , and I’d love to give love to others dogs while owners are away. My schedule is very flexible as I make my own. I volunteer with seniors at a memory care facility for a part-time, and I volunteer to do flowers at my nearby church once a month. I have a small, fenced backyard and live by Moonlight Beach. I walk twice a day and would love to take furry friends along with me.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.

I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 5, whether that was a family pet or a stray. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments as I have previous experience in a boarding/veterinary facility. Additionally, I have fostered puppies and older dogs with many different medical and training needs. I also have over 10 years of experience with horses and caring for animals of that nature. Currently I am a student at Mira Costa College, however, I am majority online so my schedule is very flexible for playtimes and walks with your pet! Keeping up with a pet’s routine and safety are my number 1 goals. I am unable to have others’ pets in my home, but I intend to respect others’ homes and values when caring for their pets.

Nycole was fantastic. One of the best pet sitters we've had. Our cats are friendly, but can be somewhat reserved to strangers. They took to Nycole immediately, even letting her hold them. Nycole was responsible, timely, and professional. She spent a good deal of time playing & entertaining the cats during her visits. Nycole asked if we needed any small extra efforts, such brining in patio furniture before an upcoming storm. Nycole is 5 stars all the way!

About: I have been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life! I am loving, compassionate, trustworthy and responsible. Your pets will receive a lot of attention, playtime and love from me! They will be treated as one of the family. I have raised my own puppies and cared for my senior dogs. I have fostered dogs for Norcal Golden Retreiver Rescue (where I rescued one of my dogs) and I have also volunteered at Pets In Need for both dogs and cats. Many friends call on me to help walk, feed and pet/housesit for them when they go out of town. Over the last 7 years, I have worked as a Personal Assistant/Home Manager for many high level executives and have cared for their homes and pets. I have over 30 years experience with cats as well. I raised my own kittens and would be happy to care for yours as well! Sadly, I lost my 12 year old Golden Retriever, Jax, in October 2024, so I have a lot of extra love to give. I'm currently home working on small personal projects and available most weekdays, so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet or pets! I'm available most weekdays and some weekends as well. I have a safe, fenced in yard. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac and live in a very dog-friendly, loving home. All pets are treated like family :) Your pet's safety and happiness are very important to me.

About: Hi! I’m Skyler, a recent University of Michigan graduate spending the summer in Solana Beach before moving to NYC in September. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve provided dog sitting, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and medication for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve dog sat for many families through local Facebook groups. My own dog had epilepsy, so I have personal experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering medication and recognizing when extra attention is needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!! :) I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, and lots of attention, playtime, and care for your pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, meals, and any medications they need. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.

We were in town for a funeral and decided to attend the zoo for a day with the fam. Our dogs weren't supposed to be with us for the trip but our sitter in Utah cancelled last second so we drove down with them. We contacted Christian the day before we went to the zoo and he responded super fast and was more than happy to watch them. He sent pics and updates throughout the day and they came back completely exhausted from playing and super happy. Would highly recommend!

This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?

About: Hi! I have my own 2 yr old dog Ozzy. So i know what it is like to leave your pet while out of town! Communication, and following your detailed instructions are very important. Tell me what your pet loves. I work remote so I am very flexible when checking in. I make my own schedule most of the time which will allow me to check in on your pet at anytime. I make sure to take my own pup on walks early AM. But happy to adjust to your pets needs I live near dog parks, i walk 10,000 steps a day, and my pup is very friendly. If you’d like your pet to not to be around my pup this is understandable and we can discuss this.

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I used to be an avid babysitter around my hometown, but after the children outgrew my services, I shifted to watching animals for families rather than their children. I have watched all types of animals from cats and dogs, to turtles and birds! I am used to challenging/misbehaving dogs as well as strong, pulling dogs. No worries, I can handle it all! Excited to meet some new animals and families. I am a Pilates and Yoga instructor as well as a Waitress and student. My schedule is flexible as the hours of my classes vary and my waitress work is for a short stint of time at night. I can easily crate your dogs if needed, or cuddle them at night. I make sure to keep an eye on them to avoid any possible mishaps and make sure to read into their body language on rocks. Being aware of my walking paths & hours has made my walks successful and easy.

I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them...

About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

Communication included frequent updates, along with photos/ videos. She took great care in giving walks/ exercise, and making sure feeding time went well. There were two friendly dogs at the home full time, and there were other dogs that stayed too, but Shannon was very careful in selecting dogs that would get along together. This was my first time boarding out, and Shannon made the process very user friendly and positive. I would definitely recommend her!

Danae and her family took great care of my dog for several days. Lots of opportunity for play and activity...she seemed to have a blast with Walter. Appreciate that she was well cared for and came home happy.

Priscilla was great! Very easy pick up/ drop off and communication was on point. I’ll definitely be reaching back out to her next time we need a dog sitter!

Jane and her pup Josie were amazing! Kona stayed with Jane for 8 nights and we were somewhat apprehensive because this was Kona’s first time being boarded since she was adopted. Kona is shy with other people outside the family but she took to Jane and by the time we returned from our vacation it was as if Jane was a member of our family. Jane sent us photos and updates frequently and was a great communicator. Jane took Kona for long walks at the nearby dog park and San Elijo hiking trail. Kona loves her. We will be repeat customers. Thank you Jane and Josie!

About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!

This was my first experience with Rover and Diana was fabulous. My little one is a nervous Nellie and Diana (and her dog, Buddy) were the perfect fit. I was gone 2 and a half weeks and she took exceptional care of Exie. Diana was very good about all the little doggie details: walking schedule, food. She is very kind, calm and caring. Could not recommend her more highly.

Fernanda did an amazing job taking care of my 7 month old lab! He had a lot of fun playing in her expansive yard and met new dog friends! Fernanda came in clutch because I had to book her last minute for the holiday week after another sitter canceled. I would definitely recommend Fernanda for dog sitting no matter their age. A house full of love with dog lovers is a good feeling when you leave your fur baby.

eddy had an great time staying at Michael’s place. Michael was very communicative and responsive, which put our minds at ease, knowing that Teddy was safe and well cared for. I’m already booking Teddy’s next stay with him!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and San Diego-based grad student with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up, my family always had dogs in the house, from rescues, energetic pups, protective breeds, and sweet seniors, so I'm comfortable with just about any temperament or need. Over the years I've dog-sat for friends and family, and I regularly help with my mom's dog walking and sitting business when I'm home. I’d love to give your dog some extra love and attention while you’re busy or away. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and always make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I'm in a grad program with only a few on-campus classes per week, so my schedule is fairly flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm available for midday walks, potty breaks, and overnight stays. Happy to accommodate last-minute requests. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I will always prioritize keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and stress-free whether at my place or yours. If at mine, my neighborhood is quiet, residential, and has plenty of walking paths and green spaces for your pup to enjoy!

Evan was great! Our normal dog sitter cancelled right before our planned trip. In a frenzy, I came across the Rover app and gave it a try! Evan accepted our booking request even though we were booking at the very last minute! By last minute, I mean we dropped our dog, Jack, off at his house within 1/2 hour of booking! Evan and his family were very kind and our dog got on well with the other two dogs in the house. We received pictures and updates throughout the stay which made us feel better about leaving our pup with someone we didn’t know. I would book with Evan again!

We left our Wheaten Terrier, Finn, with Linda for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.

Carol was the perfect sitter for my dog June. She took great care of her and gave regular updates. I'd highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog sitter
