“Nate And Ray were awesome.... Both Millie and Spuds had a good time and got much-needed socialization with NEW dogs. They have a clean home and yard which is something that was important to me. You can tell immediately that the dogs felt comfortable around them. Receiving photos of the dogs while we were away was an added bonus, allowing us to relax. I would definitely use them again. Good people, sweet house dogs and they did everything they said they would.”
“Doug and Marisol were such a blessing to my wife and I while we were out of the country. They were very communicative and sent pictures of our dog enjoying walks and their company almost every day. It made our trip much more enjoyable knowing that our dog was being taken care of and safe!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have been a dog mom to three amazing dogs. Sadly, one of my babies passed away, and I currently have two dogs that I care for every day. Having my own dogs has taught me how much love, patience, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for them. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and everyday routines, as well as simply making sure they feel safe and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I’ll always care for yours with the same love and attention I give my own. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾❤️
“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.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“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!”
“Savannah was fantastic! We were looking for a sitter where our pup could have his own space and Savannah went above and beyond with him. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures and our boy came back very happy from his time at Savannah’s. We will definitely be using her as a sitter in the future!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years. My husband and 3 kids also love being around and caring for animals. I have regularly pet sat for friends for many years. I am a stay at home mom. I am home alone during the day, picking up my kids from school at 3:30 Monday - Friday. A few days a week I am required to drop my kids off at soccer practice after school. I have a fenced one acre property. I have an adult golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with cats. I have a large crate if needed as well.
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Dustin took a great care of our dog Taco. We recommend him as a dog sitter. He sent us photos of our doggo many times a day. That was very nice. Our dog was very happy during and after the stay at Dustin's.”
“Bailey & the girls were great with Percy. He was happy and content and that’s all that we could want. Got plenty of updates and lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend Bailey. Sweet girl. Thank you Bailey 💞”
“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!”
“We've done both daycare and boarding with Adriana and Cameron, and our puppy Earl had the best time! We recently had an unprovoked dog bite incident at another daycare facility that left Earl with stitches for a couple of weeks. Once they were out, I wanted to seek out other options. We had never used Rover before, but got so lucky with Adriana and Cameron! Earl came back so happy from boarding, and we got photos and videos while he was there! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe second home whenever you need boarding.”

“Melissa did a great job taking care of Daisy. This was her first time being watched by a cat sitter alone since our sweet Elmer passed away. Melissa made sure to find her every visit and send me pictures of her hiding spots. She was very communicative every step of the way and it was a huge relief for me to be able to rely on her to look after Daisy while I was gone.”
“Marla was so great! One of our cats required meds twice a daily and Marla perfectly handled our cats needs. She sent us tons of photos and incredibly detailed reports so we knew our cats were in good hands. She’s amazing!!”
“We absolutely love Mariela! She is dependable, whether it be for a single visit or multiple days while we are out of town. She sends a summary, including several pictures, after each visit. My family loves to see the proof of life photos! Honestly, I can’t say enough about Mariela. If you are considering who to have care for your pet, she should be the top on your list.”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for cats. I’m gentle, patient, and reliable. I love playing with cats, giving them attention, feeding them, and keeping their space clean. I always respect each cat’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job pet sitting for my cat Cazzy. This is the second time I have used Kaitlyn and highly recommend her. She followed my directions and did a wonderful job checking on my cat for 2 weeks. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and have a cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring look after your kitty while you’re away. I’m comfortable with cats’ different personalities, whether they’re social and love attention or prefer to have their own space. I’m offering drop-in visits where I can make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, pets and cuddles (if they’re into it!), and some company while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to follow your cat’s usual routine and any specific instructions you leave. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home — and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐱💕
“Remy is amazing and exceptional. She went above and beyond to take care after my cats. She is truly a gem. We had the best experience with her and the amazing pictures that she took of our cats was just the cherry on top. We had an unexpected emergency situation with my cats while we were away on a trip and Remy went above and beyond to help us with the crisis and extended her help, availability and care like no other. If you really want your pets to feel loved and cared for Remy is definitely the one. Thank you Remy for all that you did for our cats. We are forever grateful ❤️”
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.
“Nate and Ray are fantastic. They check in on our cat and administered his medication daily without issue. They are responsive and communicative. We will be asking them to check in on our cat in the future.”
About: Your dogs will be able to go to the dog park and given treats for good deeds. They'll be able to play with toys and have a constant water supply. I am open to washing and grooming the dog as well if you ask. They will get all my attention. Regarding to my schedule, I go to college everyday at 2pm and I arrive home at different times each day. I am completely available during the weekends. I have had experience before of dog sitting and the owner can vouch for me that I did a great job. I walked the dog, cleaned up their business, made sure the house was tidy, I grabbed their mail when they asked, and more. Your dog will be well taken care of.
“Kathleen was a fantastic sitter for my cat Mercury. She was very communicative before and during visits. Her cards were thorough and provided really descriptive details that gave me a real sense of the visit. Mercury was happy and hardly out of routine when I came back home. I don't think he'll miss me much next time!”

About: Being raised in the rural parts of El Cajon, with my mom being apart of the AKC- American Kennel Club, I spent a lot of time around animals. Learning at a young age how to properly interact with dogs. I have walked up to three small dogs at the same time that belonged to my land-lord of 5 years. Even though these three dogs were considered aggressive toward other people, they loved and trusted me and I loved them back. I enjoy being around small animals and spending quality time with them. I am retired from the County of San Diego where I worked for 16 years. I am very flexible, reliable and punctual. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

“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.”
“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: 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 .
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years. My husband and 3 kids also love being around and caring for animals. I have regularly pet sat for friends for many years. I am a stay at home mom. I am home alone during the day, picking up my kids from school at 3:30 Monday - Friday. A few days a week I am required to drop my kids off at soccer practice after school. I have a fenced one acre property. I have an adult golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with cats. I have a large crate if needed as well.
About: I grew up with a house full of animals: a black lab, chickens, goats, bunnies, turtles, snakes, and guinea pigs. That meant daily feeding routines, extensive coop and cage cleaning, all different types of playtime, and learning to read each animal's mood and body language, from a nervous rabbit to an excited lab. Because I grew up with such a wide mix, I adapt fast and pay close attention to what each individual animal needs. Dogs are where I feel most at home. I've always had a natural connection with them, and they tend to warm up to me right away. I know how to read a dog's energy, give them the attention and exercise they need, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. For me, this isn't just a job. It's genuinely one of my favorite things to do! I recently graduated and am currently job searching, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to give to pet care right now. I'm able to offer consistent attention throughout the day, whether that's multiple walks, playtime, or just being present, without having to squeeze visits around a 9-to-5. It's a great season for me to be really available and engaged for your dog, and I'll keep my profile updated as my schedule evolves. On walks and drop-in visits, your dog stays on their normal routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, plus any specific instructions you leave me. I always check the space first so everything stays exactly as you left it. When your dog boards at my place, they get my full attention with no other pets around to compete for space or affection. My yard isn't fenced, so outdoor time is on leash to keep things safe, and indoors I keep things calm and familiar so the stay doesn't feel disruptive. Throughout any visit, I'm watching your dog's body language and energy, not just going through the motions, so I can catch anything off and keep them comfortable the whole time. Depending on your preference, I'll also send photo or text updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats reptiles since I was 10 years old Friends Neighbors , family they have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets especially if they need a long walk or a run I have experience from puppies to senior dogs and handling medication.

I’m mostly available all days certain Saturdays and Sundays after 3:00 pm I have a fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs I take on walks they can keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or handle any special medication if needed
“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. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have 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.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I'm reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I'm comfortable with crate training, and special routines—and I always keep you updated with photos and messages! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m home and available to meet their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm environment and stick to their routine. I’m always attentive, secure with gates and leashes, and keep you updated with regular check-ins.
“I’m Very Happy with Ben & Luke they are awsome sitters 💙My LEXI gets excited knowing she’s going with her friends 🙌🏼once Lexi is with them they send Very cute 🥰 pictures of her and she looks super happy !!! I HIGHLY Recommend them!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼”
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Nervous about leaving your new puppy in the care of a stranger? Don’t be when it’s Betty! My Cooper is 3 months old, naturally shy with strangers, and normally suffers with separation anxiety. The morning I dropped him off, I placed Cooper down on the pavement to see how he would react. To my amazement, Betty’s kind spirit attracted him like a moth to a flame. He ran over, pounced into her open arms, and followed her into her the house without so much as a cry. When I picked him up he that evening he gave her a million kisses before leaving. The following day, he did the same but with even more gusto. There is nothing as comforting and reassuring to a pet mom, than your little one adoring their caretaker enough to happily leave your side. Thank you, Betty! Cooper has a new Grams. ♥️”
About: I am in the San Diego area currently working a remote job, looking to spend some quality time with dogs who need all the TLC they deserve but can’t get while their owners are away. I’m available for pet sitting, walking, and drop-ins! I’ve always grown up with a family dog in the house who I absolutely adored and have an undeniable love for all animals. I’d be available for last-minute help and cancellations are fine with me as well, so long as I’m given a heads up in an appropriate time in advance. I am a trustworthy, honest, and very reliable person. If you pick me to do the job, your pet would be in great hands and I would never let you down!
“Saddaf is so sweet and quick to respond. She really helped out when I was in a pinch for a day sitter. Her timely coordination made me feel at ease and my dog felt comfortable right away.”

About: I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience from owning my own dog, which has taught me everything from daily care and routines to reading a dog’s body language and understanding their needs. Along with that, I’ve also cared for friends’ pets, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every dog like my own. Because I already care for my own dogs, pet care is a regular part of my day. I’m used to morning walks, meal times, and keeping pets on a steady routine. I’m flexible and easily make room in my weekly schedule to give each pet the time and attention they need. Whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in yours, I keep their routine consistent so they feel secure. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide regular walks, and give plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on creating a clean, safe, and loving environment and always stay in touch with updates and photos.

About: I’ve house sat and took care of a puppy Dachshund for about a month, as well as day visiting with friends’ dogs to give them play time and food! I love walking and playing with dogs, it’s a great way to spend time outside while learning their fun little personalities! I currently am working two part time jobs so I have some flexibility when it comes to helping out and caring for pets! Mornings are almost always open for me, along with evenings. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in their own home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and crate time if needed. I will always treat your home and pet with care and respect.
About: Hi there! I’ve had my own dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet sitting for over 10 years. I am also well-versed in dog training and have worked extensively with cats at a pet resort. They call me the animal whisperer. 😋 I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and weekends and you can guarantee you’ll get some nice photos of your furry friend while you’re away. I have a senior cat at home so I don’t allow other pets at my home but I’m available for drop ins and walk dates no problem.
“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!”
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.

“Brittany did a great job walking our golden. She came over to meet her before the day of the walk and was clearly very comfortable with dogs. She even texted me the day before the walk to confirm that she would be there. Talk about peace of mind! Our dog loved her and I know she is great hands with her.”

About: I grew up with a house full of animals: a black lab, chickens, goats, bunnies, turtles, snakes, and guinea pigs. That meant daily feeding routines, extensive coop and cage cleaning, all different types of playtime, and learning to read each animal's mood and body language, from a nervous rabbit to an excited lab. Because I grew up with such a wide mix, I adapt fast and pay close attention to what each individual animal needs. Dogs are where I feel most at home. I've always had a natural connection with them, and they tend to warm up to me right away. I know how to read a dog's energy, give them the attention and exercise they need, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. For me, this isn't just a job. It's genuinely one of my favorite things to do! I recently graduated and am currently job searching, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to give to pet care right now. I'm able to offer consistent attention throughout the day, whether that's multiple walks, playtime, or just being present, without having to squeeze visits around a 9-to-5. It's a great season for me to be really available and engaged for your dog, and I'll keep my profile updated as my schedule evolves. On walks and drop-in visits, your dog stays on their normal routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, plus any specific instructions you leave me. I always check the space first so everything stays exactly as you left it. When your dog boards at my place, they get my full attention with no other pets around to compete for space or affection. My yard isn't fenced, so outdoor time is on leash to keep things safe, and indoors I keep things calm and familiar so the stay doesn't feel disruptive. Throughout any visit, I'm watching your dog's body language and energy, not just going through the motions, so I can catch anything off and keep them comfortable the whole time. Depending on your preference, I'll also send photo or text updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away.

About: I’ve had a guinea pig, a bunny, and 2 dogs. I’ve always been an animal person. And I help my friends out by taking care of there pets. It depends on the my work day sense I do freelance contracting for production work. But I would have to what day you would want to book me for and times. It depends on how friendly the animal is and how many days I am pet sitting for. But I will feed, bathe, play and be around to watch what they do.
About: Being raised in the rural parts of El Cajon, with my mom being apart of the AKC- American Kennel Club, I spent a lot of time around animals. Learning at a young age how to properly interact with dogs. I have walked up to three small dogs at the same time that belonged to my land-lord of 5 years. Even though these three dogs were considered aggressive toward other people, they loved and trusted me and I loved them back. I enjoy being around small animals and spending quality time with them. I am retired from the County of San Diego where I worked for 16 years. I am very flexible, reliable and punctual. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
“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 :).”

“Nate And Ray were awesome.... Both Millie and Spuds had a good time and got much-needed socialization with NEW dogs. They have a clean home and yard which is something that was important to me. You can tell immediately that the dogs felt comfortable around them. Receiving photos of the dogs while we were away was an added bonus, allowing us to relax. I would definitely use them again. Good people, sweet house dogs and they did everything they said they would.”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“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!”
“Savannah was fantastic! We were looking for a sitter where our pup could have his own space and Savannah went above and beyond with him. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures and our boy came back very happy from his time at Savannah’s. We will definitely be using her as a sitter in the future!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years. My husband and 3 kids also love being around and caring for animals. I have regularly pet sat for friends for many years. I am a stay at home mom. I am home alone during the day, picking up my kids from school at 3:30 Monday - Friday. A few days a week I am required to drop my kids off at soccer practice after school. I have a fenced one acre property. I have an adult golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with cats. I have a large crate if needed as well.
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Bailey & the girls were great with Percy. He was happy and content and that’s all that we could want. Got plenty of updates and lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend Bailey. Sweet girl. Thank you Bailey 💞”
“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!”
“We've done both daycare and boarding with Adriana and Cameron, and our puppy Earl had the best time! We recently had an unprovoked dog bite incident at another daycare facility that left Earl with stitches for a couple of weeks. Once they were out, I wanted to seek out other options. We had never used Rover before, but got so lucky with Adriana and Cameron! Earl came back so happy from boarding, and we got photos and videos while he was there! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe second home whenever you need boarding.”
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.
“Erica recently watched our dog Scout for a week at her home. We were very impressed with her experience with caring for dogs. Scout can be a bit anxious in new settings but she came home happy. She even made a couple new dog friends there! We would definitely recommend Erica for pet sitting.”
“Cerita took good care of my senior dog while I was away for a couple weeks. She sent photos and videos throughout his stay. He seemed happy and content. So glad to have found Cerita to board my 🐶.”
“Christina was great with Punkin! As this was my first time leaving my sweet "old girl" with a sitter, I was a little apprehensive. I set up a meet & greet with Christina and in just a few minutes I could tell that Punkin was going to be well taken care of. She made herself comfy on the couch and was already getting the cuddling that she loves. Christina was great about sending pictures often of Punkin so I could see how well she was doing so I wouldn't worry. There were pictures of her playing tug-o-war with her tail wagging (it was just a blur in the picture LOL) and sleeping in her favorite "belly up" position, and out on walks. It was a great experience for both Punkin and me - I will definitely book with Christina again in the future!”
“Tanaya was amazing with our dogs. She provided daily pictures and communicated when one of my dogs was refusing to eat (due to nervousness). My dogs were happy during their stay and got along well with her dogs. If I need a sitter, I'm definitely going to check her availability first!”
