“Always such a great stay with Doug & Marisol. They are such a nice family and treat our pup like their own. Our dog always comes back happy and normal which is such a relief. Thanks as always and highly recommend!”
“Julie was wonderful, sweet, kind, and understanding. I had a great experience with her. Updates were provided and my pups were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Hank spent a couple weeks with Taylor and Andrew and had a great time! It was pretty obvious from the pics and messages Taylor sent, that things went well and Hank made himself quite at home!! We will definitely be back, in fact, Hank already has his next trip reserved! Thank you Taylor and Andrew from me and Hank!!”
“Tyler took such good care of my puppy Yucca! Tyler was very responsive and flexible with the pick up and drop off. I will definitely book again. His place is like a pet resort!”
“I've been back to them five or six times now - it's the only place I will leave Ruby. They treat her like a guest and keep her safe, and she has a BLAST playing with their pups! There is a fenced in backyard with a pool that works as a racetrack for my galloping dog to run around and a room inside with covers on all the couches for the dogs, dog beds, toys, it's like a doggie heaven! They also send me tons of pictures throughout each day so that I am completely at ease. So happy we found them!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“David, Jeanette & family took such great care of our dog during our trip. They were consistent, loving and caring and have a great environment for dogs at their home. Thank you!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“My girl’s stay was amazing! I think they had a great time! They were greeted wonderfully and were able to relax and settle in and ended up having a great night. Madison sent pictures and made sure to update me along the way and was so friendly! I was nervous to leave them but I am so thankful I found such a wonderful place for them to go. Thank you!”
“Kristen was great! We did a meet and greet before our pup was scheduled to stay with her. And that went well. While staying with Kristen she sent pictures and videos which we greatly appreciated. When we picked our pup up he looked great. I’m almost certain she must have given him a bath and his little nose crust was gone. Lol. 10/10 would recommend and with another trip coming up soon we know who to book with. Thank you so much Kristen you were amazing!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of our little Remy. They were very understanding of his special needs (he’s an anxious and dog-reactive pup), and their home provided a safe, calm space for him.”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Our Frenchie stayed with Adriana and Cameron while we were in NYC for the week. She had the best time. We got 1-3 videos a day of her running around and claiming a stake on their couch :) They accommodated her needing to eat raw food and taking up space in their fridge. They were responsive and helpful and very timely. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She took great care of our two dogs and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Both pups were happy and well-loved when we got back. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“My dog always has a blast at Daryle’s house. When he realizes we’re taking him to her house he gets so excited he can’t stop wiggling around in the back seat. It’s really reassuring to see how my dog just absolutely loves the whole family.”
“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
“Lisa and Logan took care of my dog, Driver like he was their own. Plenty of pictures and updates and they are just wonderful caring people. I am thrilled to have found them and would love to have them sit for us again.”

About: Hello! My name is Angelina and I’ve had cats my whole life! I’ve definitely seen it all from having to give insulin shots to inhalers to mood shifts from family members leaving to the service. So I’d love to say I’m well versed in the craziness of cats. I’m big on love and snacks along with if your baby needs any medications while she’s here. You can count on me! Best, Angelina Darling
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She was really great with our cat and always provided pictures and updates. We were in a pinch and I'm so thankful for her putting us in her schedule. She is excellent with animals and very kind!”
About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.
“Cynthia was amazing…she is dependable, compassionate, and respectful. We felt completely comfortable with her care of our cats and she even offered extra assistance when we had a minor problem with one of our cats that she handled with grace. We will be using Cynthia in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime and two cats. Every animal that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I love and appreciate animals for their never ending love for us humans. Rest assured that I was responsible for all of my pets and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner, so my experience can be valuable when it comes to caring for other pets. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
About: I personally have 3 dogs so I know how to deal with multiples in families. I used to walk for WAG before I got an office job, very experienced in drop-ins and Housesitting. Available whenever you need me! I work flexible part-time so this is a fun way for me and your pup(s) to stay active! I’ll follow your directions and if you have preferences of where to walk your pup(s) those will be followed as well. sticking to their routine will keep them comfortable if i’m meeting them for the 1st time
About: We own a Border Collie, tuxedo cat, chickens, a snake, and a goat. I grew up around animals too and I've learned a lot from my mom and have had the experience not only caring for multiple dogs, but also cats, rats, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, hamsters, snakes, and hermit crabs. I have a sensitive heart for all animals. I promise to take good care of your furry family members so that you can relax and know that they are in good hands. We have a high energy dog, a cat, a snake, chickens and a goat and taking care of them is part of my regular routine. Animal lover here, so I can guarantee that your pet or pets will be given the love, attention, and care that I give my own.
About: I love the independence of a cat and their mentality that we are here to be their servants. To serve the cat world is a pleasurable pass time of mine. The key is to let them THINK they rule, and they will protect you from the unseen.

“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”
About: I have fostered Bichons thru Bichon Fur Kids Rescue in addition to previous dog sitting. I have also shown in AKC dog shows. Love dogs ! I am available 7 days a week. I prefer over-nights at my home. I am retired and have one 15 year old Bichon that loves playmates. I have a fenced yard and an unused tennis court to let the dogs run in. Walking on leash in the park is fun too.
“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.
About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at.

I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day.

“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”
“Our dogs love Katie and run to the door when we say Her name! She’s Always on time and keeps us updated on their status which we look forward to as well. She goes above and beyond for our dog as if they were her own, topping off the dogs water and food!”
“We're glad we've found Erika! Roscoe (my dog) really enjoys his walks with her. You have to be very patient to walk Roscoe and Erika seems to have the gift. She has exeeded our requests and has been incredibly flexible with our last minute schedulings. She is easy to communicate with and trustworthy. I'm content and feel my furbaby is in safe, lovable hands when Erika walks him :).”
About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed.

I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks. She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!”

“Julie was wonderful, sweet, kind, and understanding. I had a great experience with her. Updates were provided and my pups were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Hank spent a couple weeks with Taylor and Andrew and had a great time! It was pretty obvious from the pics and messages Taylor sent, that things went well and Hank made himself quite at home!! We will definitely be back, in fact, Hank already has his next trip reserved! Thank you Taylor and Andrew from me and Hank!!”
“Tyler took such good care of my puppy Yucca! Tyler was very responsive and flexible with the pick up and drop off. I will definitely book again. His place is like a pet resort!”
“I've been back to them five or six times now - it's the only place I will leave Ruby. They treat her like a guest and keep her safe, and she has a BLAST playing with their pups! There is a fenced in backyard with a pool that works as a racetrack for my galloping dog to run around and a room inside with covers on all the couches for the dogs, dog beds, toys, it's like a doggie heaven! They also send me tons of pictures throughout each day so that I am completely at ease. So happy we found them!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“David, Jeanette & family took such great care of our dog during our trip. They were consistent, loving and caring and have a great environment for dogs at their home. Thank you!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“My girl’s stay was amazing! I think they had a great time! They were greeted wonderfully and were able to relax and settle in and ended up having a great night. Madison sent pictures and made sure to update me along the way and was so friendly! I was nervous to leave them but I am so thankful I found such a wonderful place for them to go. Thank you!”
“Kristen was great! We did a meet and greet before our pup was scheduled to stay with her. And that went well. While staying with Kristen she sent pictures and videos which we greatly appreciated. When we picked our pup up he looked great. I’m almost certain she must have given him a bath and his little nose crust was gone. Lol. 10/10 would recommend and with another trip coming up soon we know who to book with. Thank you so much Kristen you were amazing!”
“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of our little Remy. They were very understanding of his special needs (he’s an anxious and dog-reactive pup), and their home provided a safe, calm space for him.”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Our Frenchie stayed with Adriana and Cameron while we were in NYC for the week. She had the best time. We got 1-3 videos a day of her running around and claiming a stake on their couch :) They accommodated her needing to eat raw food and taking up space in their fridge. They were responsive and helpful and very timely. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She took great care of our two dogs and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Both pups were happy and well-loved when we got back. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“My dog always has a blast at Daryle’s house. When he realizes we’re taking him to her house he gets so excited he can’t stop wiggling around in the back seat. It’s really reassuring to see how my dog just absolutely loves the whole family.”
“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
“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.”
“Both me and my pup felt at ease from the moment we stepped into Corinne and Christopher's home. They are the nicest people and take great care of my girl ❤️”
“Bailey and her family did a great job taking care of Leah while we were gone for a few days. Leah was relaxed and all smiles when I picked her up. I would definitely Bailey for boarding services.”
