“I was extremely pleased with the way Vadym took care of my dog while I was out of town. What I found rather touching was their daily videos and pictures of how my dog [Buttercup] was doing. All went better than expected, and I will rebook with them when the occasion arises.”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“Dana was absolutely amazing with our two pups! She was responsive, caring, and incredibly friendly from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. She kept us updated and clearly treated them like her own. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Diane was great with my dog, who took to her right away. She gave me lots of great updates that really put me at ease, and my dog was in great spirits when I picked her up. Knocked out as soon as we got home, so I’m sure she had plenty of exercise. Thank you!”

“Carrie is such a beautiful soul! We have a Shetland Sheepdog and we started taking her to Carrie when she was just a wee lass. Carrie helped shape our Sheltie into the loving, perfect dog she is today. A few years have passed and we have moved about 10 hours up north but when we planned a visit to San Diego, we knew we had to book with Carrie! Carrie is exceptionally kind, understanding, and highly knowledgeable about dogs. There's only one Carrie on this Earth!”
“Until recently, we had never left our pup with someone else overnight. When we met Lucy, we knew she was a great fit for our Kona. After an intro meeting, day long sit and then a 2 night stay, we knew she was ready for a 9 night stay. It took a while for her anxiety and walls to come down, but Lucy was so patient and kind with Kona. We looked forward to our updates, especially the videos and photos, and came to call them ‘Lucy Grams’. It was so comforting to see our girl having fun and Lucy’s two pups are great companions. Would definitely use Lucy any time!”
“Chong was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly experienced. She even administered my dog’s medicine with no trouble at all, which gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and updates that truly made me feel at ease and showed me how well my dog was being cared for. My dog adored Chong and it was obvious she was in great hands the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone so gentle and reliable. I highly recommend Chong to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Our dog loved her stay with Shannon and her family! Shannon was very flexible and communicative while our dog stayed with her during our wedding weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again in the future!”
“I’m so glad that I found Hyun here on Rover. She’s very kind and super patient with my little Eevee who has a bit of separation anxiety. Hyun took her time to calm Eevee and very patient when Eevee barked at night in an unfamiliar environment. Highly recommend Hyun!”
“Natalie is an amazing dog sitter. She cared for our dog, Sadie, with lots of love, and the best of care. Sadie loved the toys that Natalie provided her and outdoor play time with Dottie and the family. Thank you Natalie and family the happy time that Sadie experienced. With Love, Joyce Garcia”

“Linda is truly a lifesaver! I trust her so much when we’re away from our kitty who needs daily medication and affection. I have zero worries knowing she’s watching him. She’s truly the best pet sitter we’ve ever used.”
“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”
About: Hello there! I am a dog lover, who works from home with a fenced in yard for your dog to play! A typical day at my house will consist of play time indoors/outdoors, several outdoor breaks to play, have fun, expend energy & go to the bathroom, snuggling, and a walk or run every 2-4hours. Some of the breeds I'm very well acquainted with and commonly care for are: doodles, maltese, maltipoo, shih tzu, schnauzers, terrier, cockapoo, bichon, havanese ... the list goes on! I love all dogs! :) I am able to take one client at a time (depending on your preference/dogs needs). I am able to provide free pick-up & drop offs up to 40 miles away for 3+ night stays. Please feel free to message me with any questions or inquiries! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! A typical day at my house will consist of play time indoors/outdoors, several outdoor breaks to play, have fun, expend energy & go to the bathroom, snuggling, and a walk or run every 2-4hours. *I prefer to host low-medium shedding dogs in my home due to allergies. I work from home, so I have the flexibility, freedom and time to give plenty of love and attention to your pup! I am an active person and love to be out in nature, so I have fun taking the dogs out for walks, as I know they love them too! I am very proactive and conscientious about pet safety, whether we are indoors or outdoors. I am always outside with dogs, and will never leave them unattended.
About: I am currently the proud owner of my rescue cat Winston! He has brought me so many years of pure, unending love. I am so obsessed with this young man that he is my entire personality at this point. I want to extend this love that I have for my boy with your cats! Hello! My name is Sydney and I am incredibly passionate about caring for and being around any and all animals! My sweet angel border collie, Izzy girl, passed away back in 2024 after 15 loving, incredible years. From adopting her at one month old to her becoming a senior citizen, she spent almost all of her days at the dog beach! I have done tons of pet sitting jobs throughout my life, mostly for friends, family and coworkers. A few fun facts about me- I am equally a dog AND a cat person (no, I will not pick a side). I am an avid surfer, artist, and I am the wife to the most incredible husband ever! I am excited to continue my pet care on this awesome platform!
“Doris did a great job taking care of my kity while we were away. She was kind and respectful, and cleaned up after her when needed. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids. I love being around animals and so do my kids. We have 4 dogs ( two huskies and 2 yorkies) of our own and can't get enough of them. We love to go on walks and right now we go on about 3-4 walks a day. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs and help them get some exercise or be played with. Ideally I would like to take my kids with me on the walks/play sessions so I would prefer dogs that are friendly with children. I live in a neighborhood with great trails and plenty of grass. My kids would love if your dogs liked to play fetch since ours don't. We can do drop ins as well!
“Sarah was wonderful with Pluto and knowledgeable. She texted us updates and pictures daily and took great care of our cat. She was also flexible and was able to accommodate our changing schedules. We would definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up with cats as a part of my family, and now I have 3 cat babies of my own! I love cats, and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience administering medication (pills and oral liquid), and am very good at reading behavior.
“Aidrey did an amazing job with our dog Benito over the last 4 days while we were traveling. She handled drop-in visits to feed him, let him out, and take him on walks, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. Traveling is so much easier when you can truly count on someone, and Aidrey was exactly that. I had a couple of schedule modifications come up, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciated. Benito was happy, well taken care of, and clearly comfortable with her. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book her again!”
“Misha is truly a dog whisperer! I give her the highest rating possible. She's very friendly, gentle, and caring. I recently moved to the area and needed to be away for the whole day. She visited my 3 dogs twice, letting them out and playing with them etc. a small incident happened and she called me immediately and resolved it. I will definitely use her again. Made my day stress-free! Many many thanks Rover and Misha!!!”
About: Hello friends and neighbors! I have a three year old lab named Nala who is super friendly and energetic! She always keeps me on my feet and is the best adventure buddy! We recently added another pup to the mix, a golden retriever named Maggie. She is the sweetest girl and loves attention. I have dog sat and helped care for friend’s and family dogs for over 10 years and have a deep rooted love for them! I have recently separated from the military and am in school 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am most available during the week but with some notice I can make weekends work as well. I love to explore with the dogs so if there are parks close by or they have favorite places to walk we can make that happen!
“That was a good idea! It’s totally fine to give them a bit extra, when they’re asking politely. Thank you so much, Paula, for trying to understand when they are communicating with you! Also thank you for pulling our bins out! :)”

“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”
“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”
“Dana has an immediately obvious love of dogs. It was our first day care visit and I left with no concerns. Picked up our little Minnie who was happy and groomed up. So excited to have someone like Dana to leave my dog with when needed. Thanks Dana!”
“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”
“Sarah was great! She took a last minute booking, fast communicator. Our pup had a great time with her and her doggies. Took on long walks. She helped reinforce tricks and helped him with leash manners and helped us with his jumping issues. Dug was out like a light when we brought him back home! Was wonderful and would book again. And appreciate the healthcare workers discount!”
“Nadia was so easy to schedule with. I really appreciated her prompt communication and how sweet she was with Lucy. Lucy had a great day with Nadia and we look forward to working with her again.”
About: We have a 6 year old male golden retriever who loves to play ball, nap on the couch and snuggles from his little sisters. He was a rambunctious puppy, so we took dog training classes and he is now a well mannered gentleman. I get to stay at home with my 2 kids (under 4 years old), so we have plenty of time to play and give attention to your dog. You can rest assured your dog will be in the care of a loving family and not left by himself all day long. We have a fenced acre of land for your pup to play. Our Golden Retriever loves company of other dogs and we toss the ball for him everyday. If your dog is small we will keep him on a leash when outside in the yard and they will never be left unattended as there is a small gap in the front gates. We would be happy to take your dogs for a walk on a leash. Your dog is welcome in our home!
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Luna! The time and attention she took to get to know Luna before she took care of and her, and her responsiveness while communicating before after after I booked- I really appreciate it all!”
“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”
About: As a USMC veteran and lifelong dog owner, dogs have always been a big part of my life. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I am a dog adoption coach and volunteer dog handler with Labs and More Rescue in San Diego. Through my rescue work, I've gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. 🐾 My wife, Ellen, is a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and lifelong animal lover. She has extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats and shares my passion for animal welfare. 🐾 Over the years, we've cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. We currently share our home with two rescue dogs and three indoor cats. 🐾 We know that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at home while you're away. Toby works from home full time, so your dog always has a real person present and engaged throughout the day. No empty houses, no lonely pups. Our yard is fully fenced and secure. Toby is home all day, so your dog is never unsupervised. We have First Aid and CPR training, and between Toby's work at Labs and More and Ellen's background in Humane Law Enforcement, your dog is in experienced hands from drop-off to pick-up.
“Another awesome stay at Carries for Pugsley! He always has so much fun & so many dog friends to play with. I even get super cute pictures of him sent to me. She's also very accommodating to specific needs. He was just neutered & she made sure to keep a special eye on him to keep his stitches & everything safe. ”
“Had some confusion about pickup time. Loree was gracious and patient. Ollie is always excited to go to her house. I never worry about him when he is there. Thank you Loree. I really appreciate it.”
About: Hi! I’m Becca, a Marine Corps veteran and full-time college student. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic and have experience providing advanced pet care, including administering oral and injectable medications and basic animal first aid. My boyfriend, who lives with me, is also a Marine Corps veteran and fellow animal lover who helps with pet care when needed. My home is located just 5 minutes north of Mission Ave near the Santa Margarita River Trailhead. Great for commuters passing through Fallbrook! Since my classes are mostly online, I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to play with or spend time with your pup. You can trust that your pets will never be left alone under my care! We live on a quiet 1.5+ acre mountaintop property with no nearby neighbors. While most of the property is unfenced, the perimeter has natural barriers including a creek, and pets are never outside unsupervised. For added peace of mind, I also carry pet sitting insurance.
“Brittany and her husband were great. Dino was tuckered out after playing all day with her pups. She was waiting outside with Dino without the expectation to have him ready when we said we were coming. I would book with her again.”
“🐾 Five paws up for Ms. Chong! 🐾 Hi, it’s Lucky 🐶 (with Mom typing). I absolutely love staying with Ms. Chong! She’s kind, patient, and makes me feel right at home.

We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough! 💙🐾”

About: Used to sit 15+ dogs at once for full days. Always got great reviews and love from the owners and pets. A great choice for you and your pup.

Hire me to get a free photoshoot!) 📸🐶 I’m currently freelancing photography and it’s the slow season, so I have lots of time for your pets! They will be loved as if they are my own. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I also usually end up taking high-quality, professional photos of the pets that I watch as a free bonus! Very quick learner, respectful and responsible.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and currently have a furry friend of my own. With years of experience, I've become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, whether it's for a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. From playful pups to senior companions, I’m dedicated to giving each dog the attention, care, and love they deserve while their owners are away. Your pet will feel right at home with me!

Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, I ensure every pet feels loved and looked after while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I strictly follow every instruction provided by the pet parent. I understand how crucial it is to stick to routines and adhere to any dietary or health restrictions for your pet’s safety. Having a dog with strict dietary requirements myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone and worry if they will be cared for properly. That’s why I make it my priority to follow all rules and guidelines, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Sarah is the best! I’ve been using her for almost a year… she does everything from drop ins and overnights at my house when I’m on vacation, to daily walks, and giving my dog his medication. She’s been a life saver on the days/weeks that I’ve needed to work late or be out of town. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than he likes me :) LOL! She is very dependable, reliable and responsible. I trust her with a key to my home and a code to my alarm system. That’s not something I take lightly. If you’re looking for a superstar “dog nanny” in the Tracy area please reach out to her for a meet and greet.”

I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Animals have always been a big part of my life, so caring for pets easily fits into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, relaxing together, or making sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means active playtime, sticking to a routine, or giving them extra patience and comfort. Cleanliness, supervision, and communication with owners are always important to me.
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids. I love being around animals and so do my kids. We have 4 dogs ( two huskies and 2 yorkies) of our own and can't get enough of them. We love to go on walks and right now we go on about 3-4 walks a day. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs and help them get some exercise or be played with. Ideally I would like to take my kids with me on the walks/play sessions so I would prefer dogs that are friendly with children. I live in a neighborhood with great trails and plenty of grass. My kids would love if your dogs liked to play fetch since ours don't. We can do drop ins as well!
About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I am incredibly passionate about caring for and being around any and all animals! I am currently the proud owner of my rescue cat Winston. My sweet angel border collie, Izzy girl, passed away back in 2024 after 15 loving, incredible years. From adopting her at one month old to her becoming a senior citizen, she spent almost all of her days at the dog beach! I have done tons of pet sitting jobs since the age of 16, mostly for friends, family and coworkers. I truly miss being around dogs, so I figured I would extend my pet care over to Rover! A few fun facts about me- I am equally a dog AND a cat person (no, I will not pick a side). I am an avid surfer, artist, and I am the wife to the most incredible husband ever! I am excited to continue my pet care on this awesome platform! I am currently in between jobs, so I have a very open and flexible schedule at the moment! I sell art and vintage as a hobby to make a few extra dollars. I am willing to do drop-ins for feeding and walks! I unfortunately cannot offer my house as a space for pet sitting, but I am happy to come to you!

Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“Dana was absolutely amazing with our two pups! She was responsive, caring, and incredibly friendly from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. She kept us updated and clearly treated them like her own. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Sarah was great with our Mia. She was available to take care of her last minute for a few nights. She sent multiple pictures showing Mia’s day which she enjoyed playing with other dogs and having pool parties. Thank you again!! ❤️”
“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Tristian was a great sitter for my 5-month-old lab puppy. She sent me plenty of pictures, offered a meet-and-greet beforehand, and answered any questions I had. She has excellent communication skills and will answer any questions you have about your dog/puppy while you're away. My puppy got along with her 2 amazing dogs and sent videos of them playing together.”
“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Danielle and Austin were great! My dog Lucia gets a little nervous before staying with new people and they were so welcoming and sweet. They were both super communicative and I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire time! Thank you both for being so great!”
“This is our second time booking with Darcey. She truly wants to take the time to understand your dog’s quirks, and was so gentle and patient with ours. I loved getting her photo updates—it was comforting to see our dog so happy in the photos she sent. She was also very professional, always punctual and quick to answer any questions I had. If you need a caring, reliable dog sitter, Darcey is fantastic.”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“I had no doubts that May would deliver! My boys were comfortable and happy at all times and they even made a new friend, her dog Teddy. May made it imperative that she had all the details to properly care for my dogs prior to and during drop off. My eldest has leg issues and is a senior. She made sure that his handicaps were well attended to. All in all, I am very satisfied. Will hire her again in the near future.”
“Michele was great! Super friendly with Mr. Fox and sent us updates and pics of the little guy. She was also really flexible with the pickup and drop off times. Next time we are in Portland will definitely reach out to Michele again!”
“Rachelle was amazing and loved on our pups as if they were her own. She sent pictures and updates multiple times throughout the stay. Her house is very pet friendly and between her and her daughter there was a lot of love, playtime and cuddles to keep them happy. We will definitely be back for another stay!”
“David was great with our large and playful doodle. He was very communicative sending lots of updates on how our pup was doing. You can tell that he loves being around dogs and I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Our Labrador Nova seemed to love Marta and her dog, and definitely enjoyed her backyard and pool! Marta provided multiple pictures every day which we appreciated. We hope to use her again in the future!”

“It was my dogs first time boarding! Savannah was flexible as our travel got extended. She sent us a few Lichtenstein while we were away and that was reassuring. Very fast at replying! Great communication. Thanks savannah we will be back for any future needs.”
