“Five stars! Cerita provided excellent care for our energetic dog. She makes a point to understand each of the canine personalities in her care, and has a great setup for managing them. She was also always very responsive and pleasant to deal with.”
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“Linda was the absolute best! A loving, gentle, and thoughtful person from beginning to end. She was very caring and attentive to my dog, and I could tell my dog mutually enjoyed spending time with Linda. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog; they’ll be in good hands. Thank you Linda!”
“Ana was so helpful in caring for our dog last minute! We needed to board our dog with almost no notice and then I even booked the stay for one day short. Ana was so accommodating and treated our dog like family.”
“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with Cristina. And I know, because the pics and videos, that my dogs had a great time and enjoyed their stay! Thank you Cristina for watching them like they are yours.”
“Madison was amazing watching indie while we were away! We got pictures and videos each day which really help us feel at ease leaving her knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Madison in the future!”
“Whitney is kind with great communication. It seems she took very good care of my girls and that makes me happy. I searched for the perfect sitter for months before booking Whitney and I’m happy to say I’ll continue to hire her. Thank you!”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Savanah, thank you again for watching Kate. I appreciate the flexibility on pick up. Overall everything went great. Receding the pictures of all the adventures was nice.”
“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.”
“We are so happy and relieved that we found Todd and Bill to board our somewhat anxious rescue dog, who also has a medical condition. He received loving care while we were gone, reflected by daily pictures. Bill administered oral medication twice per day with no problems whatsoever. I love the idea of a home setting with canine companions where he wasn’t restricted to a kennel, but rather could roam around the house and yard. He ate well which is a sure sign he was happy and was exhausted when we got him home. Bill responds to messages within minutes and is extremely accommodating to special requests and needs. Bill and Todd have our highest recommendation.”
“Thor stayed at Luke and Elaheh house from Friday to Sunday and thor had the best time. They kept in contact with me the whole weekend about how thor was doing with pictures. We always worry about leaving thor at a place he will be comfortable and cared for and Luke and Elaheh went above and beyond for thor. If you are looking for a place to leave your fur baby I 100% recommend them. I know we will leave thor with them again in the near future.”
“From the moment I reached out to the meet & greet and then dropping off my sweet boy, Adrian was very responsive, welcoming and made Cosmic feel right at home. She was in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos frequently to show just how well Cosmic adjusted as he is a shy dog at first. Cosmic can’t wait to be back playing with his new dog pals and he even made friends with her family. I highly recommend Adrian!”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
“We were very pleased with the care provided to our dog Juna. It was the first time using Rover and Katelyn immediately calmed our nerves at drop off. We had a daily morning photo and text to let us know all was going well. Love that they only sit 1 or 2 dogs at a time so it wasn’t overstimulating for Juna. Juna seemed happy and relaxed and we will use Katelyn and Paul again in the near future. Def recommend! 👍”

“Amanda was wonderful. She is was on time every day. I loved that she spent time with the cats and captured photos of the cats for my children to enjoy while we have been out of town. She was really easy to work with, friendly, and kind. I will definitely be using Amanda for future trips.”
“Anna was very attentive for our shy cat. She made sure to always give updates and ease my anxiety. Anna also always took photos and followed our directions carefully. Thank you, Anna!”
“Adrian is simply the best. They took diligent care of my cat, provided quality photos and described my cat's mood and condition with each visit. I can't emphasize how nice it was to know Lila Bear was under such loving care. I think it is very advantageous to have a cat sitter who owns a cat themselves. Adrian has two. I highly recommend Adrian for your next sitter needs.”
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
“Ariana is very professional, thorough, and caring. She was able to connect and play with our very shy cat in less than a week. She sends lots of photos and puts in the effort to play with your pet.”
“Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”

About: As corny as this may be, I cannot imagine life without pets. Growing up I have always had dogs and cats. Recently I’ve rescued and fostered four kittens. And now have two of my own. Making sure my dog or cat is comfortable and given enough attention/care is incredibly important to me. Walking/exercising with them, playing with them, feeding them at a consistent time, and providing them with the best place to sleep are responsibilities I take very seriously. Animals mean the world to me. I am organized, athletic, on-time, energetic and thoughtful in all areas of my life including dog/cat/pet ownership. I recently fostered 4 kittens from a dangerous area where I de-wormed them (twice), vaccinated them, and got them to a healthy weight and to happy homes. I have been exposed to different breeds with my friends, family, and peers; therefore I possess the experience and comfort to care for most/all breeds. Some include German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Huskies, Goldendoodles, Poodles, and for cats breeds like Russian Blue, Maine Coones, Siberian and more. I am confident my demeanor and level-headed approach prepares me for most of canine behavior. I frequently cat-sit and dog sit for family and friends and I am confident I will keep your pet safe and happy. Lastly, what sets me apart is my commitment to this service. I'm here to provide the same support for you as I would want for my own pets. It’s hard to trust anyone with your pet. They’re like your children. They are family. I can guarantee exceptional pet service. I currently work remotely in the La Mesa area and have flexibility. I’m currently working remotely with many of my calls in early AM so I have time during the day, late afternoon and evenings to walk, dog-sit, and or provide care. I care for my clients’ dogs with great attention and fostering. I work to understand what the pet is used to, what their habits/tendencies are, expectations, and ways to simply have fun. I am very communicative and committed to learning about my client’s lifestyle with their pet(s).
About: I grew up with dogs and have helped raise and train several puppies in my household, including Labs, Corgis, and Swiss Mountain Dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to large breeds, shy dogs, and reactive dogs. I also have experience safely walking reactive dogs and using muzzles when needed. I currently have an 8-year-old Corgi of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I always focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their routine, providing plenty of exercise and attention, and making sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine this spring and summer, and I have a very flexible schedule before I begin law school in the fall. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week and most weekends. Because I’m able to plan my day around pet care, I can give pets plenty of attention and keep their routines consistent, which helps them stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When providing house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. For dog walks, I practice safe leash handling and stay aware of our surroundings to ensure a calm and enjoyable walk. I also have experience walking reactive dogs and am comfortable using muzzles when needed to keep everyone safe. I always respect your home, keep pets secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“McKenzie took great care of our cats, Pepper and Oscar, while we were away. She did drop-in visits, made sure they were fed and checked on, and kept us at ease the whole time. We came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. Would definitely book her again!”
“Alicia is absolutely amazing with our cats Ash, Ember, and Blaze. She has really become their best friend while we’re away on vacation. They are in the best of hands. It’s always so nice to come home to happy cats and a clean home. Alicia is the best and we are so grateful for her!”

About: Hi, I'm Luke! I live with my partner Elaheh, and we love dogs. Our beloved dog Lily recently crossed over the rainbow bridge, and we wanted to do Rover to share our love with other fur babies. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone waiting for attention. They get real company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They can be inside or outside as much as they (and you) would like, as well as go on walks or play catch. When Elaheh gets home from work, she loves to join us on an evening walk and snuggle up with your dog on our couch.

I provide photos and updates throughout the day (half my camera roll are puppy pics, lets be honest) and am quick to respond to messages.

“From the moment I met Alanna and her family I felt immediate comforting and nurturing energy from her and her family. The most recent visit I mentioned to Alanna that midnight and I had a very stressful week and that she needed a lot of love as I had failed her to keep her in a calm environment. The following morning she called me to inform me that she noticed worms in Midnight's stool. I was extremely worried and ashamed about the situation. I truly appreciate her gentle approach to the emergency. It's moments like this that are truly valuable. Thank you Alanna ? I know that Midnight is in outstanding and in the most caring hands with you and your family. ?”

“Kyra was absolutely amazing while watching my dog for a full week. From start to finish, her communication was top-tier—she kept me consistently updated and always made me feel at ease while I was away. She sent frequent pictures and detailed updates, which really reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. We joked and laughed at Banroll goofiness which made my experience with her even better. You can tell Kyra genuinely cares about the animals she watches. My dog looked relaxed, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed being with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet for that long, but Kyra made the entire experience stress-free. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring. She truly goes above and beyond!”

“Madison was amazing watching indie while we were away! We got pictures and videos each day which really help us feel at ease leaving her knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Madison in the future!”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“Savanah, thank you again for watching Kate. I appreciate the flexibility on pick up. Overall everything went great. Receding the pictures of all the adventures was nice.”
“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.”
“We are so happy and relieved that we found Todd and Bill to board our somewhat anxious rescue dog, who also has a medical condition. He received loving care while we were gone, reflected by daily pictures. Bill administered oral medication twice per day with no problems whatsoever. I love the idea of a home setting with canine companions where he wasn’t restricted to a kennel, but rather could roam around the house and yard. He ate well which is a sure sign he was happy and was exhausted when we got him home. Bill responds to messages within minutes and is extremely accommodating to special requests and needs. Bill and Todd have our highest recommendation.”
“Thor stayed at Luke and Elaheh house from Friday to Sunday and thor had the best time. They kept in contact with me the whole weekend about how thor was doing with pictures. We always worry about leaving thor at a place he will be comfortable and cared for and Luke and Elaheh went above and beyond for thor. If you are looking for a place to leave your fur baby I 100% recommend them. I know we will leave thor with them again in the near future.”
“From the moment I reached out to the meet & greet and then dropping off my sweet boy, Adrian was very responsive, welcoming and made Cosmic feel right at home. She was in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos frequently to show just how well Cosmic adjusted as he is a shy dog at first. Cosmic can’t wait to be back playing with his new dog pals and he even made friends with her family. I highly recommend Adrian!”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
“We were very pleased with the care provided to our dog Juna. It was the first time using Rover and Katelyn immediately calmed our nerves at drop off. We had a daily morning photo and text to let us know all was going well. Love that they only sit 1 or 2 dogs at a time so it wasn’t overstimulating for Juna. Juna seemed happy and relaxed and we will use Katelyn and Paul again in the near future. Def recommend! 👍”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Erica is fantastic! Our Bodhi is a bit of a nervous pup and has never stayed in a stranger's house before. He did really great with Erica. She sent lots of updates which we appreciated. Will definitely use again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Marissa as a dog sitter for my pup, Bubba, during a five-night boarding. From start to finish, Marissa exceeded my expectations. She followed all my instructions to the letter and kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Bubba clearly had a great time—Marissa played with him regularly and provided lots of love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Marissa to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“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.”
