“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“My Penny just finished up her 4th stay with Kenia and Andrew so this review is long overdue. They are amazing. The communication and care is great, plus they treat Penny like a member of the family so I know she’s in great hands when I have to go out of town. Thank you both!”
“We recently decided to try Stacy for an overnight stay after having such a positive experience with her during our dog’s first daycare visit. Stacy was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, understanding our senior dog’s needs and even providing a special bed for her to rest on. She also let her stay by the door so she could enjoy some people-watching, which our dog loves. Throughout the overnight stay, Stacy kept us updated with photos and messages, which was so reassuring. We’re grateful to have found such a caring sitter and will definitely return to Stacy whenever we need dog-sitting in the future!”
“Alan is the BEST EVER!! We are repeat customers. Our guy, Tubby, always loves to visit Alan. Alan is very kind, attentive, caring, and friendly. He LOVES animals and his job. Our family always feels at peace when Tubby is being sat by Alan. Alan, gives Tubby plenty of walks and playtime. His home is very spacious, cozy, and clean. Tubby always comes home looking clean, well-kept, and happy :)”
“John and Francesca were fantastic! Rain had a wonderful time - we received lots of photos of her daily activities, and they took her on frequent nature walks. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“It was Astros first time boarding with a dog sitter for a whole weekend so he was a little anxious. But Anyely and her family took good care of him: I received several updates and pictures on how he's doing. I appreciated it so much. She also has a cat and a dog so Astro got to play. I'm sure Astro loved their backyard since we don't have one. Anyway we appreciate you so much Anyely we hope to see you again soon.”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”

“Analisa watched my baby Pebbles this past weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and little check-ins, which honestly made me feel so much more comfortable being away. She was always quick to respond and it was clear Pebbles was being well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I’d definitely trust her to watch Pebbles again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!”
“Chris, Lindsey, their kiddos and dog Birdie welcomed my boy into their home while we were out of town for a few days over Thanksgiving. They took great care of him, and he was clearly comfortable and had a total blast with tons of playtime and fun. They’re such a sweet, positive and energetic family, so glad we found them. Thank you!”
“Tyler was amazing, our doggos Chaffon and Chloe boarded over the weekend, last minute while we were getting construction done on our house. Tyler was adaptable, provided a tour of his place and was very educational. Also, he provided photos consistently throughout the stay which was great. 100% recommend, I use to work at a doggy daycare so, I know someone who cares when I see it.”
About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I hsve 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.

“Cynthia is a total gem of a person & speaks several varieties of cat language. We won the cat sitting lotto when we found her. Our cat Rumi loves to hide when people she doesn't know come to the house, but Cynthia soon learned all of her hiding places and even those we didn't know about! Cynthia earned Rumi's trust and connected with her a little more with each visit to where Rumi was loving up to her & demanding attention. In fact, Cynthia taught us things about our cat we didn't even know like the fact that she is a trickster and a comedian (who knew she could open/close cabinets?). I've never known a pet sitter to spend so much time and effort bonding with an animal. Rumi was happy to see us when we got home, but I swear she was looking around the house for Cynthia and meowing-- calling out for her new friend. You won't regret booking Cynthia to watch your animal-- you'll get so much more than a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home part time. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I walk my dog four times per day. Two of these four times per day are longer walks in the neighborhood or to the park. I keep dogs on the leash at all time when we are outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can be outside and lay in the sun, and can’t escape. They also have access to water and food as required by the owner. My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs. I have a cat who is friendly but does not want to do much with other dogs. He mostly stays away.

About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.
“My dog Nyla is in such good care with Maria! Maria updates me on all the adventures my dog has through the day. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. We are a recurring client. :)”
“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I keep things clean, stick to their routine, and give them plenty of love and attention.

About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.
About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾

“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”
About: Hi! My name is Karina, and I’m a reliable, compassionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I helped with feeding, cleaning, administering medications, and walking dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I love flexibility, me being a full time medical student it is difficult to abide to 9-5 jobs, so having the flexibility to drop in at any time I choose to works great with my schedule. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, walks, and playtime routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also give regular updates and make sure pets receive lots of love, patience, and attention while their owners are away.

For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.
“Dulce went above and beyond to take care of my dog and follow my instructions. I’m very grateful to her. I was myself a Rover sitter for 5 years but I’ve never hired a sitter for my own dog until yesterday. I was actually a little nervous … now that the shoe was on the other foot. Lol. Anyway she did great! I will absolutely use her again and happily recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home
“Sylvia has been walking our dogs over lunch once a week for the last couple weeks and it's been so great. She gives us updates on how the walks went and pictures. She is patient with my shy, nervous dog, so he's starting to get more comfortable with her, which is really nice and was originally a big concern for us. Thanks, Sylvia!”

I have open scheduling all day/week depending on what I am doing and can always make time to give care or to help a pet or pet owner who needs it. Just let me know and I will try to help and make time! I treat the pet, the owner, and the home with care and respect as if it was part of my life and family. Providing the appropriate service and care needed to help out.
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
About: Hello there! I understand you may need someone to look over your fur-baby?! Well, here’s why I’d be a perfect fit! I have been taking care/looking over dogs for 10+ years! I have had two cocker spaniels, a golden retriever/chowchow mix, a cattle dog/Rottweiler mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois. I have also dog-sat for numerous friends and family throughout the years. Anything and everything from letting them go out for a potty break, getting them some grubs, getting some play time, going for a stroll, or simply having human interaction while their favorite human is out. I will always make sure they have the best possible care as if they were my fur-baby. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a message! Hope to meet your pup soon! I am currently working part time but am extremely flexible with my schedule. If things need to be moved around feel free to send me a detailed message. I’m not able to promise that things can always be switched around, but I will try my best to accommodate. I will always make sure your pet is being watched whether inside or out so you can rest assured they will be in the safest hands possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I am dependable and very loving towards dogs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long energetic walk, I am here to help.

About: I grew up with 2 childhood dogs & have experience from them, i walked/fed & kept company to my neighbors dog when i was around 12, & i watched my bestfriends dog while they were out of town for 2 weeks. Im a bit rusty with dogs as i haven’t had one myself for quite some time now but id love to get back into their furry world I’m currently a stay at home mom looking for side hustles & i have a lot of free time as i’m home all day I treat every home with care & every pet like my own & follow all care instructions closely. I can stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, & give your pet calm loving attention in a safe space. I can occasionally do overnight stays if needed & given an advance.
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“My Penny just finished up her 4th stay with Kenia and Andrew so this review is long overdue. They are amazing. The communication and care is great, plus they treat Penny like a member of the family so I know she’s in great hands when I have to go out of town. Thank you both!”
“We recently decided to try Stacy for an overnight stay after having such a positive experience with her during our dog’s first daycare visit. Stacy was incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, understanding our senior dog’s needs and even providing a special bed for her to rest on. She also let her stay by the door so she could enjoy some people-watching, which our dog loves. Throughout the overnight stay, Stacy kept us updated with photos and messages, which was so reassuring. We’re grateful to have found such a caring sitter and will definitely return to Stacy whenever we need dog-sitting in the future!”
“John and Francesca were fantastic! Rain had a wonderful time - we received lots of photos of her daily activities, and they took her on frequent nature walks. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Priscilla and Pascual! They took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to a very happy pup! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Analisa watched my baby Pebbles this past weekend and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and little check-ins, which honestly made me feel so much more comfortable being away. She was always quick to respond and it was clear Pebbles was being well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I’d definitely trust her to watch Pebbles again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring!”
“Chris, Lindsey, their kiddos and dog Birdie welcomed my boy into their home while we were out of town for a few days over Thanksgiving. They took great care of him, and he was clearly comfortable and had a total blast with tons of playtime and fun. They’re such a sweet, positive and energetic family, so glad we found them. Thank you!”
“Tyler was amazing, our doggos Chaffon and Chloe boarded over the weekend, last minute while we were getting construction done on our house. Tyler was adaptable, provided a tour of his place and was very educational. Also, he provided photos consistently throughout the stay which was great. 100% recommend, I use to work at a doggy daycare so, I know someone who cares when I see it.”
About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I hsve 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.
“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job of caring for our dog Punky! They were extremely proactive about getting to know Punky and her particular needs (separation anxiety, dog reactivity), and making sure we were comfortable with their apartment--which, by the way, seemed to be an ideal environment safe for a dog with easy access to a fenced patio. After picking up Punky, she has seemed happy and relaxed. Strongly recommended!”

“Marissa did a fantastic job with my little puppy. We did not plan very well and had to find someone at a moment's notice and she came through - BIG TIME. My little puppy seemed so happy in the pictures and video we got of her. We really appreciated the care that Marissa gave to our baby girl. Thank you a ton!!!”
“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!”
