“Margaret was an amazing care taker of our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us informed with pictures and updates daily. She even scheduled several playdates with another dog which made them smile. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. We will use her again. We were so grateful to find her on short notice.”
“Mayank, Shruti and Pia are LOVING hosts. This was Zazzle's third stay. I am sent pictures often. Zazzle gallops around their beatutiful, large back yard constantly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mayank and his family!”
“Thankful for Nina taking care of Daisy during 3 day trip! She took Daisy on long beautiful walks which is Daisy’s favorite on each day of her stay. Nina kindly provided daily updates and photos, keeping us assured of her safety and comfort.”
“Sandy was a God‘a send . She took him in at the last minute and has been great sending pics and following my old poodle recommendations. I was very worried because he suffers from anxiety separation but apparently everything went great , of course he had his little moments but I have been really pleased and can only recommend Sandy Thank you so much ??”
“May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰”
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my baby Kimchi! She sent multiple photos + updates throughout my pets stay, fed her medicine everyday, and her pup Yuki was so gentle and patient with Kimchi. Her place is very secure, so I felt safe having her there. She also takes Kimchi on walks which not all sitters do. And lastly Kimchi has always been an anxious dog who doesn’t acclimate well in new settings, and while she still gets afraid of Julia’s roommates, she felt safe and calm with Julia right off the bat. Would definitely recommend!”
“Julia kept our senior pug for nearly 2 weeks and took great care of her! She was quick to communicate, provided lots of updates and was flexible with us when we returned a day early from our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Amazing sitter! Super communicative and took such great care of my dog. My flight back to San Diego was delayed so I have to pick up my dog next morning. Hana was being super flexible with my schedule. Came home to a very happy pup—would 100% book again.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Gris was absolutely wonderful with our girl! She sent daily summaries and photos that kept us completely at ease, and it was clear she kept her engaged with lots of fun activities. Her space is clean, secure, and perfect for safe play and exercise. We couldn’t be happier and would definitely book with her again!”
“My dog Pepper stayed for a week with Pinar. She sent me daily picture and video updates of how she's doing. Looks like Pepper enjoyed her stay with Pinar. She's also very accommodating with the pickup time. Fast response. Friendly household. Will be back if needed. Thanks you!”
“Beth was wonderful to work with! She was extremely responsive, invited us to come by to check out the location in advance of confirming, and kept us updated throughout our pup’s stay. It was wonderful and comforting to know that, while we were away, we had the care of someone with both a depth of experience and just a genuine love of dogs. Thanks Beth!”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Rachelle was super easy to coordinate with and gave lots of picture and video updates as well as written updates on their activities throughout the days. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her and will certainly book with her again!”
“Allison & Shane did such a wonderful job taking care of Bella. Being able to find a sitter that you truly feel you can trust to tend to & look after your fur baby in the way they need is invaluable! Allison & Shane were thoughtful in the way that they approached our shy & anxious girl, giving her exactly what she needed to feel safe and a part of their family. They were also very communicative with us and provided plenty of pictures throughout the entirety of her stay to keep us informed on how our baby was doing. Everything I could’ve asked for & more! We’d love to have Bella stay over again in the future. :)”
“Junko was amazing. I found our future dog sitter. Gabby was only 5 months old and she was so happy being with Junko. Her dog Cody was helpful helping Gabby not be so afraid of dogs. The daily pictures and comments made my sister trip so much better knowing I had a wonderful lady taking great care of Gabby! Holly”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”

“Xuan is very kind, personable and my cats love her. She leaves all the setup immaculate after feeding them. Above and beyond what she needed to do. She is timely and thoughtful with her updates. Will definitely rebook and highly recommend.”
“Natalia’s care of Dior has been above and beyond anything I ever would have anticipated. Dior loves being there with her, and I can plainly see it through all of the pictures and videos Natalia sends me daily. Dior even loves Natalia’s awesome kitten, Milo! I can see how close she has gotten to him. I would definitely recommend Natalia to anybody that is looking for their furr baby to be cared for and loved by an amazing pet lover. She will be the only person we will ever use in the future to care for our Dior. Thank you again Natalia!”
“We last minute needed a pet sitter as we were going out of town for the weekend, and Michelle picked our request up immediately. She exceeded our expectations, was punctual, and took great care of our kitty Demetrios. She left detailed notes for us and cutest photos from her visit. We will continue booking with Michelle and we recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. Thanks so much Michelle!!”
“Karen is super friendly and kind, and did an absolutely amazing job taking care of both my apartment and my two cats! I immediately felt comfortable with her at the meet and greet, she sent so many great photos and updates while I was away, and my place looks just as clean as when I left it! If you’re overwhelmed with choices on here, this is your sign, Karen is the one you should pick!”
About: I have been a devoted cat parent for over two years, caring for my Ragdoll cat, Dodo, since he was three months old. I have supported him through kittenhood into adulthood and handle his daily feeding, litter box care, grooming, playtime, and routine. I also run a YouTube channel about Dodo, where I document his daily life, personality, and funny little habits. Creating content about him has made me an especially attentive observer of feline body language, moods, preferences, and behavior. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and different boundaries. I take the time to help each cat feel comfortable and secure, whether they want affection, active play, or peaceful company. I will care for your cat with patience, warmth, and the same thoughtful attention I give Dodo every day. As a complimentary extra, I can also film your cat and edit the footage into a short, lighthearted story on my YouTube channel with 18K+ subscribers. This is completely optional and will only be done with your permission. If you are interested, please mention it in your booking request so we can discuss the details before the service begins.
“Kristianna was great with Athena. Athena LOVED her. Kristianna also sent me pictures every day and was really good with communication. Will definitely hire again!”
“Janet was great, she watched my dog and cat for a long weekend. She fed them, walked them, distributed vitamins, and was very responsive and communicative. Everything was in great shape when I returned. Will be hiring again. Thanks Janet!”
“Tiffany is really great with my older cat — who is taking more medicines for dinner, and requires 2 visits a day. I feel a lot more comfortable being away, because of Tiffany’s thorough report cards (photos and great info). 5⭐️ Will book again!”
“Crystal was punctual, warm, and provided great communication and care for our two cat children. She is also apparently magical, as she was able to give some love to our resident shy guy who hides from everyone. Will call on her again soon!”

About: Several years ago, my sister and even my mom started dog walking and boarding dogs through Rover. As a result, whenever I was home, I would spend time with these dogs, walking them, playing with them, and even cleaning/bathing them when needed. I would love to help you out when you need it, even if it's for a short walk to get your dog some exercise. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 8:15 to 5:00PM and can provide pet care after work starting at 5:30PM or on Saturdays (usually very busy on Sundays as well)! I will be aware of where your dog's food, water, treats, toys, etc. are to keep them happy and healthy while they are in my care.
About: I have two cats of my own, Kiro and Batman, and I’ve been caring for them for about 4 years.

“Sandy was great with Corby! She kept her on schedule with dinner time and made sure she took naps throughout the day! She also provided updates throughout the day which made me feel really confident leaving Corby with Sandy.”
“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”

“We entrusted our dog, Yuki, to Mayank through the Rover app, and we had an excellent experience. They took our dog on walks, ensured he got plenty of exercise, and played with him. Yuki was really happy during his stay. I highly recommend Mayank and his family for anyone looking for dog-sitting services.”
“Shaina is very attentive and provides lots of Updates and pictures. You can really tell how much she loves dogs. Her dog buddy is so sweet and matches my dogs energy. Pluto gets so excited heading over to her house and he gets the best care. Definitely recommend!”
“Gris was amazing to us , she is very good at communicating and ease every fear you can have. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been volunteering with the Humane Society since 2021, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for and working with animals of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I also have a senior dog at home, and previously cared for another senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older dogs may require. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent high school graduate and will be starting at UC San Diego in the fall. For the summer, I have full availability and a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet-care needs throughout the week. Once school starts, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll do my best to maintain a consistent schedule and work around your needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, routines, and individual needs, and I always follow their owner’s instructions closely. I’m patient with animals who may be nervous or need extra time to warm up, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and visits. My experience volunteering with the Humane Society has taught me the importance of responsible, attentive animal care, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: I grew up with my grandparents and our family dog, so being around dogs has always felt natural to me. Through years of daily companionship, I became familiar with their routines, body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Two years ago, I welcomed my cat, Dodo, into my life when he was three months old. I have cared for him through every stage into adulthood, including feeding, grooming, playtime, maintaining his routine, and paying close attention to changes in his behavior and mood. Caring for both dogs and cats has taught me that every pet has different needs and ways of communicating. I will treat your pet with patience, affection, and the same thoughtful attention I give my own. As a complimentary extra, I can also film your pet and edit the footage into a short, lighthearted story on my YouTube channel with 18k+ subscribers. This is completely optional and will only be done with your permission. If you are interested, please mention it in your booking request so we can discuss the details before the service begins. I am currently unemployed, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. This gives me plenty of time to provide each pet with unhurried attention, including feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their usual routine. I am happy to coordinate visits, drop-ins, or boarding around each owner’s preferred schedule. As a complimentary extra, I can also film your pet and edit the footage into a short, lighthearted story for my YouTube channel with 18K+ followers. This is completely optional and will only be done with your permission. If you are interested, please mention it in your booking request so we can discuss the details before the service begins. My home has a fully fenced yard, a small balcony with carefully controlled access, and three spare rooms. For cat boarding, I can provide a quiet private room and keep visiting cats safely separated from my own cat, Dodo, so they have time and space to feel secure. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding, litter, medication, and daily care instructions. Doors and windows are kept secure, food and litter areas are kept clean, and I closely monitor each pet’s behavior, appetite, and comfort. I also provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Shaina was very communicative. She arrived right on time and shared some great pics of our pup while they were on their walk. I would not hesitate to re-book. Thanks!”
“Cristal was on time and gave an update on Trunks the whole way through his walks. Trunks had a great time and would definitely recommend as her service went beyond my expectations.”

“I can't say enough good things about my dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver. Always showing up with a positive attitude, she’s proactive, reliable, and genuinely caring. My pup is definitely a handful—she’s dog reactive and not the easiest to manage—but that’s never been an issue. She handles her with so much patience, skill, and understanding. I especially appreciate the photo updates and messages after walks—it gives me so much peace of mind during the day. It’s clear she really gets dogs and loves what she does. I’m so grateful for her help and feel lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Bella has been great with our pup! We appreciate her communication and flexibility with our changing schedules. She’s gives great updates and we love the pictures she sends!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12, I have plenty of years of pet experience. I also have a huge place in my hearts for all pets big or small. I’m currently working part time as a nanny but was hoping to add pet care to my schedule. I am completely free on weekends, weekdays are flexible. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, I am comfortable crate training and making sure your pet is nothing but comfortable under my care.
About: My name is McKayla and I am a canine behavior specialist in the Mira Mesa area. I have always been a true lover of animals! I’ve owned pets (cats, dogs, and reptiles) my whole life. I currently have two happy rescue dogs of my own, Thor and Ebony, who love new friends. I have worked as a dog behaviorist for 5+ years, and am proficient in dog psychology, so the compassionate care I provide comes from a place of genuine understanding of the unique companion that they are (: I love walking so any pets under my care will get plenty of exercise. I am also very attentive to their needs and will be willing to do whatever to make them (and the owners) feel comfortable and happy!! My schedule is rather flexible. I am available for any pup service you may need. Overall, your dogs will be treated as family & are will be in great hands with me!! I am a part-time pet-professional so taking care of your companion is literally my life’s work! I spend ample time with my own dogs, so fitting in time with your furry friend will be no problem. I treat client pets like they are my own when it comes to care, safety, structure, and love. I have worked in a professional dog kennel setting, so I am familiar with long-term care of client dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. My mom was a vet tech when I was younger so I know how to give meds, etc. I am a stay at home wife with 4 fur babies ! 3 kittens and 1 crazy puppy!!! I’m available almost always with same day booking!! I will make sure times are consistent and everything is fresh and refilled at all times. And lots of playtime and cuddles included as well.

“Margaret was an amazing care taker of our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She kept us informed with pictures and updates daily. She even scheduled several playdates with another dog which made them smile. I would highly recommend her to watch your dogs. We will use her again. We were so grateful to find her on short notice.”
“Mayank, Shruti and Pia are LOVING hosts. This was Zazzle's third stay. I am sent pictures often. Zazzle gallops around their beatutiful, large back yard constantly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mayank and his family!”
“Thankful for Nina taking care of Daisy during 3 day trip! She took Daisy on long beautiful walks which is Daisy’s favorite on each day of her stay. Nina kindly provided daily updates and photos, keeping us assured of her safety and comfort.”
“Sandy was a God‘a send . She took him in at the last minute and has been great sending pics and following my old poodle recommendations. I was very worried because he suffers from anxiety separation but apparently everything went great , of course he had his little moments but I have been really pleased and can only recommend Sandy Thank you so much ??”
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my baby Kimchi! She sent multiple photos + updates throughout my pets stay, fed her medicine everyday, and her pup Yuki was so gentle and patient with Kimchi. Her place is very secure, so I felt safe having her there. She also takes Kimchi on walks which not all sitters do. And lastly Kimchi has always been an anxious dog who doesn’t acclimate well in new settings, and while she still gets afraid of Julia’s roommates, she felt safe and calm with Julia right off the bat. Would definitely recommend!”
“Amazing sitter! Super communicative and took such great care of my dog. My flight back to San Diego was delayed so I have to pick up my dog next morning. Hana was being super flexible with my schedule. Came home to a very happy pup—would 100% book again.”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Rachelle was super easy to coordinate with and gave lots of picture and video updates as well as written updates on their activities throughout the days. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her and will certainly book with her again!”
“Allison & Shane did such a wonderful job taking care of Bella. Being able to find a sitter that you truly feel you can trust to tend to & look after your fur baby in the way they need is invaluable! Allison & Shane were thoughtful in the way that they approached our shy & anxious girl, giving her exactly what she needed to feel safe and a part of their family. They were also very communicative with us and provided plenty of pictures throughout the entirety of her stay to keep us informed on how our baby was doing. Everything I could’ve asked for & more! We’d love to have Bella stay over again in the future. :)”
“Junko was amazing. I found our future dog sitter. Gabby was only 5 months old and she was so happy being with Junko. Her dog Cody was helpful helping Gabby not be so afraid of dogs. The daily pictures and comments made my sister trip so much better knowing I had a wonderful lady taking great care of Gabby! Holly”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“Stacey and Christopher were wonderful with our dog, Dizzy! They were extremely attentive to make sure all of our dog’s needs were met and that Dizzy would feel at home while we were away. Dizzy loved running around their back yard chasing lizards and they sent us lots of good pictures to keep us updated throughout the trip. Stacey and Christopher are great and we would be thrilled to leave Dizzy with them again!”
“Khamsay and Amit were wonderful with Murphy!! They were very thorough at the start of boarding to make sure that they understood all of her care guidelines. We got multiple pictures throughout the day and it seems like Murphy got a lot of walks and play time!! Very sweet and attentive family!”
“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“My first experience with Rover. Michael is very accommodating, and the drop off was easy. Goose was well taken care of. I received updates throughout his boarding. I had to extend which Michael obliged and this was very helpful for me. I was 100% satisfied in will rebook.”
“My baby Amehlo is 11 years old and Ive never left her with someone but my son was getting married and I couldnt bring her. Im so happy it was Jenny who I left her with because it all turned out fantastic. Jenny kept me updated with pics which helped me stay focused on my son and the wedding. When I picked her up I could tell by the way she was acting that she had a really good time and that Jenny was nothing but loving with her. Bonus: Im going to start bringing Amehlo to Jenny to spend the day like once a week or every couple weeks! Thanks Jenny!”
