“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”
“Met May for meet and greet and had the best vibes, could tell she was professional at pet care and natural with little pups. Her dog pepper was also SO cute and I could tell Luke would be reassured for a first time boarding with her and Marc having a little friend. Everything went great, she was flexible with pick up and drop off around our agreed timing, super clear on communication throughout, and sent some cute photos of his stay. Would recommend and would book again!”
“Super sweet and helpful, great communication when we were away, sent pix of my happy dog twice a day to let me know he was ok. My dog had the company of her 2 small dogs to make his stay even more pleasant. Took great care of our pet.”
“Thank you Claire! Our Kobe was spoiled rotten in your care! You are the quintessential dog whisperer! I can’t wait til we visit next time and Kobe to see you and Leo! Thank you for your love and wonderful care.”
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!
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
“Wow, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch Bentley. She treated him with so much love and care, and I could tell he felt completely safe and happy. She sent me daily videos and pictures which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely be booking her again — and you should too! 👏🐾”
“Shuo took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town for three days! Pickup, the stay, and drop off all went smoothly. She was communicative and provided cute photos and video updates. It’s clear how thoughtful she is, and how much she loves caring for dogs. We will definitely book Shuo again!”
“It was our first time leaving a dog with someone. Alix was great. We received regular pictures/videos while on vacation, and our baby obviously had a great time there. Lots of loving human company and fun socializing with other dogs! We feel really fortunate to have found Alix!! Will definitely be repeat customers!!!”
“Our dog Mei_Mei seemed to had a good time with Laura even tho it was for a very short stay. Laura was great in providing us updates and pictures during the entire time. She even gave Mei Mei a blanket and tucked her in. Thank you for helping us taking care of Mei Mei.”
“My puppy came home cleaner than ever, well-behaved, and with just the right amount of energy! Cindy and Todd sent me the cutest photos and videos of our dogs together during the stay too. 10/10 would board with them again!”
“Yelena took great care of our pup for a night out!! We live in the same neighborhood and he now stops at her door every time that we pass, you can tell that he really enjoyed his time with her! She was very attentive and really cared for his safety, knowing that there has been coyotes in the area, she was sure to walk him in areas that were well lit and safe!”
“Michael was conscientious and communicative from beginning to end. He has a gentle energy, and I trust that Whitley was well cared for in his home. Michael's family were part of that care too, and I am grateful they were all willing to companion him for the 6 days I was away (he's a needy boy lol). It was my first time leaving Whitley with anyone except my son since I got him 3 years ago, so it was a big deal for both Whitley and me. I would definitely have Whitley stay with him again.”

“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!”

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 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!
“Barbara was so wonderful with our cat. She did a great job keeping her company and keeping us updated (and with lots of pictures!). Would definitely recommend booking Barbara!”
“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”
“Roberta is an amazing petsitter and took the best care of our cats while we were out of town. She is very communicative, professional, and has great attention to detail. She took notes during our meet and greet so she knew exactly what to do for the cats during her drop-in visits. She sent updates everyday with pictures and also brought in our packages. I would 100% recommend Roberta to anyone with pets and trust her completely!”
About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and I truly enjoy caring for cats. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I make it a priority to provide calm, attentive care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful and curious or prefers a quiet companion who respects their space, I adapt to each cat’s individual temperament. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing, and simply spending quality time with your cat so they feel relaxed and cared for in their familiar environment. I know that cats often do best when their routines stay consistent. During each visit I focus on keeping things calm, predictable, and comfortable for them. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and doing well. My goal is to treat every cat with patience, kindness, and respect. Many cats take time to warm up to new people, and I’m very comfortable giving them the time and space they need while still making sure they receive excellent care. If you're looking for a reliable and thoughtful cat sitter who will treat your pet with genuine care and attention, I would love the opportunity to help. Please feel free to reach out anytime to schedule a visit or ask questions. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!

“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!”
“Laura and her husband took great care of Ozzie. He went on a few nice walks and enjoyed his time by the beach! Laura was flexible and easy to communicate with to organize drop off and pick up. When I’m next in the area, I would rebook.”
“We just moved to San Diego from Dallas, TX, and we were a bit nervous about finding a new pet host for our 2 year Yorkie-Poo, Teddy. I went on Rover and as soon as I saw Sarah's profile phot and read her profile I got a good vibe. I reached out and we exchanged a few messages before setting an appointment for a few hours on Saturday so we could go out to dinner with friends. Me and my husband were still nervous, but as soon as we met Sarah the nervousness was replaced with a great feeling! Sarah exudes kindness and care. She sent us updates regularly -and photos! When we picked up Teddy, he was happy and calm. I just met Sarah, but I already love her! She welcomed Teddy into her home and I felt that we were at the start of mutually rewarding relationship. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“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.”
“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”
“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 ?”

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.

I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”
“Alana and her husband were so amazing to Sadie! Sadie is normally a little timid at first but when I picked her up she didn’t want to go! She had a great time and I would definitely recommend Alana to anyone in the future. Her and her husband are total dog people!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing.

At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.

About: I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, having raised and trained two of my own. I know how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes to help a nervous or reactive pup feel safe, and I’ve spent countless hours on exposure work and training to do just that. Whether your dog is shy, anxious, or still learning their manners, they’re in understanding hands with me Caring for dogs is part of my daily rhythm. Between my own dog and the time I spend on walks and play, dogs are always in my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and giving your pup the time and attention they deserve I’ll always come to you, where your dog feels safest. I’ll follow whatever routine your pup already knows, and when we’re walking, my phone stays in my pocket so your dog has my full attention. I always keep the leash secure and lock up before I go. If your dog is reactive, you’re in good hands. I’ve had two reactive dogs of my own, so I know how to stay calm, read the signs, and move them away from triggers before things get to be too much. Either way, you’ll get photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe

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.

About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and am a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog walker & pet sitter, trusted families throughout San Diego and North County. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you’ve come to the right place. I grew up with Black Labs and multiple cats as a child and have been around dogs, cats and other pets my entire life. As an adult I’ve had six dogs and three cats of my own ranging from large, medium, and small breeds, which has given me a great understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. About ten years ago I began pet sitting for friends and family, and over the past 6–8 years I’ve regularly cared for walked and pet sit for dogs and cats throughout the year. I’ve worked with playful high-energy dogs who need long walks, older pets who need patience and gentle care, and cats who appreciate a calm and attentive presence. I pride myself on being an attentive, dependable, and loving pet caregiver. When your pet is with me they receive extra attention, extra love, and extra care. I’m very mindful of safety, routines, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure your pet feels happy and well cared for. I also have many personal references here in San Diego from families whose pets I’ve cared for over the years, and I’m always happy to provide them. For me, this isn’t just a side job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy building my schedule around providing reliable walks, visits, and care for animals. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and time they deserve. During the day I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer walk, feeding, or some companionship while you're away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. For dogs, walks are tailored to their energy level, some enjoy a brisk walk and exercise, while others prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. For cats, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and spending time with them so they feel calm and cared for. I try to keep my calendar updated regularly and respond quickly to requests. My goal is to be dependable and make scheduling easy so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, attentive care. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and enjoyable for them while giving you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow the schedule and preferences you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. A typical visit or walk begins with a quick check-in to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. For dogs, this usually means a walk that matches their energy level, whether that’s a fun, active outing or a slower stroll around the neighborhood. After the walk, I make sure they have fresh water, settle them comfortably, and spend a little extra time giving attention or play if they enjoy it. For cats, visits include feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them in whatever way they prefer—some cats love playtime and attention, while others simply appreciate quiet companionship. I keep things clean, organized, and respectful of your home while I’m there. I also send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. Above all, you can expect reliability, patience, and genuine care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make each visit positive, safe, and comforting for them.

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.

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!
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
“It was our first time leaving a dog with someone. Alix was great. We received regular pictures/videos while on vacation, and our baby obviously had a great time there. Lots of loving human company and fun socializing with other dogs! We feel really fortunate to have found Alix!! Will definitely be repeat customers!!!”
“My puppy came home cleaner than ever, well-behaved, and with just the right amount of energy! Cindy and Todd sent me the cutest photos and videos of our dogs together during the stay too. 10/10 would board with them again!”
“Michael was conscientious and communicative from beginning to end. He has a gentle energy, and I trust that Whitley was well cared for in his home. Michael's family were part of that care too, and I am grateful they were all willing to companion him for the 6 days I was away (he's a needy boy lol). It was my first time leaving Whitley with anyone except my son since I got him 3 years ago, so it was a big deal for both Whitley and me. I would definitely have Whitley stay with him again.”
“Christy took great care of our elderly dog! She was able to handle giving her several medications twice a day and took her on walks. It seemed like our pup received lots of love and attention. We also got pictures and videos throughout her stay!”
“Sarah did a great job watching Roxie for us while we were away for an evening. Our pup warmed up to her quickly and we got several updates throughout the evening so we knew she was in good hands. Thank you, Sarah!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thank you for always taking such great care of Billie. Your dedication means so much! I also appreciate the detailed updates—it’s reassuring to know how Billie is doing and that he’s in such good hands.”
“This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Mayank was also very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures each day. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“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!”
“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
