“Our pup is always so well taken care of when he’s with May and Marc. They’re our first choice for dog sitting whenever we go out of town because we know our dog is going to be safe and loved the entire time.”
“Maya did an amazing job with my little guy. She was great with sending updates and pics and made me feel confident about him being with her while I was away. I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sully loves to spend time with Claire and Leo!! Claire provides updates and pictures daily. She is amazing. I can enjoy my trip knowing that Sully is in her care ❤️”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“Rachelle was great! Her daily updates helped me feel at ease while I was away from my pup🐾 She went the extra mile by making tasty frozen treats and filling up the kiddy pool on a hot day. I will definitely contact Rachelle for future stays.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Shilpa and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Milton while we were away. He was completely spoiled over there and had the best time. They also sent a lot of pictures of him, so my kids were able to see how much fun he was having too! I will definitely try to use them for our next getaway.”
“Ankea and her husband we're fantastic! My first Rover experience and because of how well my pups were looked after this won't be my last. My pups have medical conditions and anxiety which makes them a little bit of challenge to look after. Ankea didn't even get fazed when I was listing out all of the extra things she would need to do for my pups. She truly is amazing and I recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter especially if you're new to Rover.”
“Kimberly was really wonderful. She took such good care of our dog and kept us updated with lots of pictures of the fun they had each day. Our dog really loved staying with her and we are so happy our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. Highly recommend Kimberly!”

“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“I immediately knew my pup was in good hands when I met Keely - he was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks and gave him all the puppy love! Highly recommend Keely , 5/5 experience - will definitely be using again!”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Sandy was so responsive and attentive! I could tell right away that my dog felt comfortable and safe in her home. We were originally concerned about separation anxiety, but I could see that our little girl was so happy to play with Cooper! The two dogs got along great, and Sandy sent updates and pictures to let us know what our girl was up to. We won’t hesitate to use Sandy’s services again!”
“Susana’s exceptional care for Bella, including regular updates and pictures, reassured me during my time away. I’m so impressed with her service and would definitely choose her to watch Bella again. Highly recommended!”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”

About: I have 2 cats myself, 1 of which has had a handful of health scares that we have worked through the together. I am well versed in drug administration, feline behavior, and even walking cats.
About: I've always been an animal lover. Even though I have personally only had dogs as pets of my own, spending time taking care of neighbors' cats (feeding, playing, overnight-stays) has given me the same love and appreciation for cats as their dog counterparts! I have experience with taking care of both younger and older cats, as well as multiple cats at one time. If I have learned anything from my time spent with animals, it's that it is about more than just giving pets the bare minimum such as feeding or playing. It's about realizing that these are members of someone's family and treating them with that same love, dedication, and care is part of the job!
“Chunli was very considerate and had great attention to detail. She closely followed my instructions, reported on things I would like her to take a look, and took many good pictures. Will definitely rebook if she is available next time.”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“I’ve been using Devon for about half a year now, and she’s been wonderful. We’ve taken multiple long trips during that time, and I always feel completely at ease leaving my two kitties with her. She’s attentive, loving, and consistently goes the extra mile.”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I love it. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of our cat! She was very attentive, took great pictures, and made sure all of our cat's needs were met. We really appreciated her work.”
“Drea did a wonderful job! She came to my house before my trip to meet me and my kitties, Gus and Boo. She was really good with G and B, and she consistently sent me photos and updates. From her photos and updates, it appears that she took good care of my babies, and they were happy with her. And she left my house neat and the linens in the laundry, as I requested. It's a big deal to trust one's home and beloved kitties with someone new, and I can say that I'd absolutely ask Drea back the next time I travel! Drea--thanks so very much!!!!”
About: I’ve had many animals growing up, frogs to bunnies to dogs. They have always gravitated towards me, greeting them with loving open arms. I am excellent at walking dogs even if they are a little leash scared. I have dealt with situations where you encounter other dogs that don’t see eye to eye, staying calm and diverting the situation results in the best outcome. I understand some animals have schedules and I value those as much as the owner. Our pets are part of the family always. Currently have a lot of free time, my schedule is really open to any times. I can be flexible and work around your daily schedule. I will always enter a home with caution to assure the pet is not frightened, make my presence known, and help them welcome me. Following the rules of the house and knowing important details about the pet is very helpful to make sure they feel comfortable too. Taking the pet on the desired walk time or playing with them indoors/outdoors. Also, being respectful of the home you are in, as you are trusting me with your fur baby.
“Zil is such a loving, wonderful pet sitter. We were hesitant to go out of town, b/c we didn't want to leave our kitty alone with someone just stopping in to feed her. But a friend told us about Rover, and I'm so glad we booked with Zil. She and her partner are true animal lovers. Our kitty was happy when we picked her up, and she is even more well-behaved now than before Zil babysat her. I highly recommend her!”
“What a great person with intelligence, wit and so dependable. I can’t brag on Gina enough! She’s definitely going to be my go to favorite! Very attentive to my fat cat and actually got close! My cat just doesn’t do that but I think they became friends.”

I have experience in dogsitting with Neighbors and family friends. I pride myself in providing lots of updates throughout the day/ visit and will make sure to send photos!

“Sasha loves her daycare at Erika & Mark's home, where she gets to visit her new friend Nora. It’s such a wonderful home environment — spacious yard, safe setup, and lots of play. I get regular updates and cute photos, which always make my day. My dog gets so excited every time we pull into the driveway — that says it all! Couldn’t ask for a better place for my pup to spend the day.”
“We just love Kimberly and her pups. I always feel Henry is in loving hands. She really is super kind and loves the dogs so much. Really happy to have found her.”
“Ari was so friendly and accommodating while watching our dog Sammy when we visited family for the holidays. Sammy was happy and tired when we picked him up after a fun day of play! We will definitely book Ari again when we are back in town.”
“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!”
“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 ?”
“Alana was awesome with our dog Teddy! We have a very fearful and reactive dog, but he felt immediately at home with Alana. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”
“Julia made our San Diego visit so much more enjoyable as she watched our fur baby. She was very prompt, responsive, and flexible. Definitely requesting her again for our next visit.”
“Im so grateful I found Annie and Ty. They are perfect pet care people who clearly love animals. They followed Daisy’s routines and went above and sending pictures of Daisy as she enjoyed her day. Daisy had great day and came home very happy!”
“Holly was wonderful with Anna my German Shepherd. She took great care of her. When I returned Anna was calm and very happy. Happy to have new friends to play with and very happy with her new doggie day care. Everything was very nice. Holly is exceptionally kind and in touch with what animals need and want. Thank you Holly for an excellent experience for Anna.”
About: In my home, pets are welcome to sleep on the bed, and they can also have their own private room. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and comfort level, so I always take the time to learn about their feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, and any special needs. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive home environment. I am comfortable caring for playful puppies, senior pets, and pets that may need extra patience while adjusting to a new place. I also send regular photo and video updates so pet parents can feel reassured while they are away. I am currently a full-time homemaker, so someone is home throughout the day. This allows me to give each dog plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I am able to follow each pet’s feeding schedule, provide regular potty breaks, spend time playing with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for during their stay. Since I keep my boarding schedule limited, I can give each dog the time and attention they need. I provide care in a clean, comfortable townhouse with a calm home environment. Pets are supervised throughout their stay and cared for according to their normal routines. Before each stay, I ask about feeding instructions, potty habits, energy level, separation anxiety, behavior around other dogs, and any medical or special care needs. I can also provide a separate room or personal space if a pet needs extra time to adjust or prefers a quieter environment. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like part of the family.
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.
“This was the first time Pluto went to doggy day care and he had such a wonderful experience after day 1 Pluto was so excited to head to Ryan’s house. Ryan and his family are the sweetest and took really good care of him.”
“I wish I could give 6 stars. She was so sweet and accommodating. Took such good care of my doggie and was so nice to me as well. Her home is beautiful and dog friendly. Such an amazing person and dog sitter!”
About: Life long dog owner until recently. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages. Experience with untrained puppies and older dogs that may need additional care. I work remote so I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog and care for them the way you need. I also have a closed in yard in Pacific Beach. My place is dog proof, they will have no issues at my place. Have a spare bedroom if they prefer some quiet time in their crate. When I am in your home, I stick to what you need and leave it exactly as I find it. Making sure the dog is safe and secure when arriving and leaving.

Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and I don’t rush visits—I take the time to truly connect. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.
“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since as long as I can remember! I’ve helped train puppies and large dogs. I was a foster to many different types of dogs for two years!

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! 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 will always prioritize keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and stress-free whether at my place or yours. My neighborhood is quiet, residential, and has plenty of walking paths and green spaces!

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”
About: I work from home, which means your dog gets attention all day, not just morning and evening! Since I was a teenager, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs, and that trust has only grown. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages - from a 9 year old Shih Tzu to an 85-pound Doberman - and I treat every dog like my own. I live in Del Mar, surrounded by green spaces and parks, so your dog will get 3–4 walks a day in a beautiful area. I live with my husband who is another dog lover! Here’s what you can count on from me: - Frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing - Strict adherence to your specific instructions and routines - A calm, loving home environment with no other pets I’d love to meet your dog and learn what makes them wag their tail! Feel free to reach out with any questions :) **Lastly, I go by Valentina (middle name) - that’s why you see that name in some of the reviews** Schedule: I work from home in Software Sales with a flexible calendar, so I can easily work around your dog’s existing routine - whether that’s a mid-morning walk, a post-lunch nap, or an afternoon play session. Weekends I’m even more available My home is calm, pet-proofed, and free of other animals. I’m also trained in oral medication administration, so dogs with special health needs are always welcome.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love their company. My cat Manny was with me for 18 amazing years, and I’ve also cared for several dogs—including a Cocker Spaniel I raised from a puppy. As he aged, he developed glaucoma and eventually went blind. Supporting him through surgeries and daily care taught me how to provide patient, gentle, and loving support for senior pets and those needing extra attention. I care for dogs right here in Del Mar, just a few blocks from the beach—only four blocks from the Del Mar Dog Park on 9th Street and within walking distance of Del Mar Dog Beach. I offer exclusive, personalized boarding, so your pup will receive my full attention and care. Your furry family member will enjoy snuggles, shady seaside walks, fresh ocean breezes, and—if you approve—delicious home-baked biscuits and treats. I also offer safe, supervised socialization with other dogs at Del Mar Dog Beach or Del Mar Dog Park (9th Street) offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays after 3:30pm. (only if approved by you). Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just relax with a calm, caring companion, I’ll treat them like family—and send you plenty of adorable photo updates while you’re away! I work part-time and from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or beach outings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency is. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, have a clean litter box or yard, and most importantly—lots of love and attention. I take a calm and respectful approach to meeting new dogs and cats. I let them come to me on their terms, and whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone to quietly share space with, I’m there for them. For dogs, I provide plenty of one-on-one time—walks, play, mental stimulation, and affection—based on their energy level and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, including those who may need extra help due to medical or behavioral issues. I always keep safety and cleanliness a top priority and will stay in communication with you throughout the visit so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I have a passion for people and animals and have taken care of dogs & cats of all types since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have depended on me to exercise, feed, and wash their pets. I also had the pleasure of working alongside K-9 in the military. I am available to take care of your fur babies after 12:00 PM, Monday thru Thursday. My schedule on Friday thru Sunday is wide open. When I'm away from home I like my labradors Nala & Bella to follow their typical routine. Adapting to your furry family members' regular schedule helps build trust and lowers their anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe and happy environment, so you can enjoy stress free time away.
About: Your pet will be loved and enjoy the time they have with me. I am very active so they will have plenty of walks and also time to relax. They will miss you, but they will be sad to see me leave. :) I have open availability unless I am booked for another job. I work 7 days a week. I am saving to open a coffee cart. I closely follow all instructions that are left for me. I take everything into consideration and I am always thinking about the safety of your pet first.

“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amazing sitter! Super communicative and took such great care of my dog. My flight back to San Diego was delayed so I have to pick up my dog next morning. Hana was being super flexible with my schedule. Came home to a very happy pup—would 100% book again.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two rescue beagles and 5 rescued cats. I do not currently work and can be home with your animals unless running short errands, and once someone enters our home they are family and will be treated like the spoiled royalty they are. I'm happy to send updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I do not currently work, so I have all the time in the world for your furry friend. The animals rule our house and are allowed on all furniture/beds so they will be very comfortable. I do walks in the early morning with my dogs, but could also do day time/evening walks if your pets need. We have a fenced in dog-run with 24/7 access through a 1-flap dog door. They can go in and out as they please, but the fences are only 3ft high in the dog run, so jumpers/runners might not be the best fit. We feed our dogs twice a day and cannot free-feed animals.
“Rachelle was great! Her daily updates helped me feel at ease while I was away from my pup🐾 She went the extra mile by making tasty frozen treats and filling up the kiddy pool on a hot day. I will definitely contact Rachelle for future stays.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Meilani was so sweet with Finley! She was a great communicator and sent plenty of updates of my sweet girl. Finley looked so happy in all of the pictures, I know she was well taken care of!”
“I immediately knew my pup was in good hands when I met Keely - he was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks and gave him all the puppy love! Highly recommend Keely , 5/5 experience - will definitely be using again!”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Sandy was so responsive and attentive! I could tell right away that my dog felt comfortable and safe in her home. We were originally concerned about separation anxiety, but I could see that our little girl was so happy to play with Cooper! The two dogs got along great, and Sandy sent updates and pictures to let us know what our girl was up to. We won’t hesitate to use Sandy’s services again!”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”
“It is always a pleasure with Monica. I booked with her over 4 times and will continue. She is very kind, patient and understanding to my dog’s needs. Thank you again for your time and helping accommodate me in all my travels. Highly recommend her!”
“Another wonderful stay with Ben and Patricia! Bruno is so comfortable with Ben that I think he likes him more than he likes me 🙈 I feel so lucky to have such great sitters like Ben and Patricia who I can rely on! Until next time :)”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Mitch was very enthusiastic and attentive with my 1.5yo puppy! He sent pictures and communicated potential concerns, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”
“Great stay for Juniper! She had a wonderful time being loved and cared for and made herself quickly at home. We were given photos and brief updates for her short stay to let us know everything was going well.”
“Chewie had a great time with Khamsay and Amit. He was well taken care of with lots of walks. Khamsay sent lots of updates with photos and was so nice. Chewie can’t wait for his next stay with them.”
