“Darylee and her family were wonderful! She sent pictures to update us on how Dash was doing. It brought us much joy/peace knowing that Dash was in great hands and having a great time running around in their large fenced-in back yard and playing with the goats. :)”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“100% would recommend. For someone who takes their dog everywhere and always has anxiety about leaving my pup, Leigh and her family made me feel at ease being away. She is great with sending updates(without having to ask) and responding quickly. She is very much so true dog lover, even letting my over bearing bug sleep in bed with them. Also my dog is talented at escaping/running out the door but he was kept safe the whole time. Over all amazing experience and I will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“I left my two pugs with Doug and his family for a few nights while my family and I went out of town, and I have nothing but positive things to say! Doug was so nice and constantly kept me updated with how my babies were doing. I was nervous about leaving them having not done it in a while, and he was completely understanding and really helped to make me feel comfortable. He sent me cute little photos of them and gave me updates on their sleeping, eating and bathroom habits! He handled all of my concerns and made my pugs feel like they were on vacation too! Overall I am so happy to have found him and his family, anytime we go out of town from now on I will leave my little piglets with him! Highly highly recommend!”
“Erica did an amazing job with our dog. She made sure Cici got attention and the best of care to include administering medication as needed. She sent pictures throughout the day and was excellent at communicating. I felt like our fur baby was in great hands.”
“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”
“Kevin was a great host throughout our dog’s stay with him. Our dog seemed to have a wonderful time He sent photos, and answered promptly. 10/10, definitely would recommend and book again.”
“Brooke and Steve were amazing with our golden retriever, Django. They treated him as their own, provided an abundance of TLC, daily walks, etc. I would recommend this couple to anyone. Brooke provided daily updates along with photos to assure us everything was going great. We will definitely utilize their pet care again. Thank you both so much! Lori & Steve”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“Tricia is hands down amazing! This was my first time using the Rover services and it’s nice that I don’t have to look elsewhere to find Louis a sitter or someone to board him. The best part of it all was the amount of photos she sent to make me comfortable throughout his stay. Also me not leaving too many instructions and making it work. Louis was in good hands and it was more than I could have asked for. I would highly recommend Tricia and her family.”
“Excellent service! Provides daily photos and updates. Works great with dogs that are not used to multiple people or dogs. Very accommodating and times/date adjustments. Would highly recommend her.”
“We dropped off our Great Dane "puppy", Hercules, with Danielle for a weekend of boarding. Danielle was extremely accomodating with our drop off and pick up times. Hercules had a blast and Danielle sent countless pictures of him to keep us updated. We (and Hercules) cannot wait to drop him off at Danielle's for our next trip. Thank you!”
“Sam is the beat. My Teddy was well taken care of to the poibt he wanted to stay back when i went to pick him. She is very communicate and did an amazing job. I already rebooked her for a longterm stay with teddy. My pup was very happy and can tell she spoled him and tokk care if him in the right way!!”
About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“My pups had a wonderful time at Jane’s home and received lots of love. Will be calling on Jane again soon ❣️? Thank you so much for easing my concerns being away from them and keeping me in touch with the wonderful photos?”

“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”

I have been inconsistently house sitting and dog walking for years now, but I am now hoping to do it more often! I have a lack of reviews, but it’s not for lack of experience :) I am laid back and I have a very flexible schedule! My availability is almost entirely open. Let me know if you need care last minute! I enjoy giving them outdoor time, so they can run around, and let out all their excitement and energy. I also love giving them little treats, when they are allowed!
“I was so happy Amena was able to stop in for a visit with Penny. I was in a bind, getting stuck out of town for longer than I thought. Amena stopped by last minute, having never met Penny, and took her to play ball.”
About: A passionate caretaker with a lifetime of experience with love and understanding for all pups! Experience with professional caretaking, positive reinforcement dog training, and foster care. I usually do pet sitting around my work schedule and am always ready for dog sitting days 😸 My work started in San Diego and Los Angeles, most recently making the move to Boise where I’ve fallen in love with the area. In my clients home I always make sure I know I everything I need to know about the pup to make them feel as comfortable at safe as possible. New caretakers can be spooky to our pets sometimes and positive, proper introductions are very essential! I make sure to communicate with the owners about the dogs needs and make sure I am aware of any notes or concerns.
About: Growing up there was always some kind of pet wondering the halls. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ducks ginnipigs etc... I love all types of animals and making their day just that much better, either with a walk or some company. Right now I'm searching for new opportunities and thought I'd try Rover. I'm available for weekdays, weekends, holidays, when you need a vacation or some alone time. House and dog sitting are new for me there are some things I have to learn. I like to go on daily walks/run with my dog Sometimes we'll go to the beach she's a bit older so we take it easy.

“Jennifer was wonderful! We set up a meeting with Harley before leaving on our trip and she was so nice and loves animals. While on the trip her updates were great and she was always very responsive.

“I was in a bind and needed a sitter for a few hrs for my yorkies. I have a 12 yo Sr. And a 7 mo. pup. Neither have ever stayed with a stranger. Jennifer was just down the street from my dad's house and I wasn't going to be far away from them. I gotta be honest, I was super nervous leaving them but I didn't really have another choice. Anyway, as I arrived I already felt at ease with Jennifer as a person. Then, I immediately met her daughter and felt comfortable with her as well. The introduction was quick because I was in a hurry. I already knew my Sr. was going to wait at a window for me cuz that's what he does. The window he was pictured waiting at was clean & beautifully decorated in the teenage daughter's room. To my surprise my Sr appeared to have felt comfy enough to even leave the window and wait by her side in another picture I received. Very heartwarming for me to see. I also received a photo of them going for a walk and another of my puppy receiving some love and hugs as well. Thank you for everything Jennifer! If I'm in town and in need of some pet sitting again I wouldn't hesitate to ask. 🫶🏼 Service: Pet sitting. Time: 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.”
About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.

“What a great family we had watching our pups today! Jack and Scout had a fabulous time getting all kinds of love and attention, the enclosed backyard was fantasticly huge, and our dogs were instantly comfortable with the people and the space. Darylee and I had great communication from start to finish. This was a great experience for our first time using a Rover!”
“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.”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“Samella was great to work with. She took great care of our dog. She was inquisitive as to our preferences for the dogs care and followed them as we requested. We would definitely book with her again if we were in the area again.”
“Brooke and her husband, Steven, were amazing! (I hope I got his name right, my dog was rather excited when he introduced himself). My stay was very last minute as I was coming down from LA, so they didn't have a chance to meet my dog before his stay with them. They were SUPER accommodating in taking him in really early in the morning and late at night (9:30 pm), so I could go do touristy things in SD. My dog is an excited barker when he meets people, and bright at 8:30 am, the two of them came out to greet him extremely cheerful and thankfully very nice and understanding while I apologized for his barking. They have a great house with a backyard. They were super chill about Marty hanging out with them on the couch and it seemed like they had a mellow day. Since it was only a day, I mentioned they didn't have to take photos of him, but throughout the day, they sent me adorable selfies of them having fun with my pup and it made my day! Their positivity and enthusiasm made me feel so at ease and I highly recommend them. I will definitely contact them when I'm back in town again.”
“Trish and her family are the best. My dog gets all of the love when she is over and comes home exhausted and has happy dreams. Trish is a great communicator and sends fun pics through the day so my work day is that much better. Moving forward, I will be making arrangements for my dog to stay with Trish and fam when I am out of town so that I can travel assured my pup will have all of the love in my absence.”

About: I am a reliable and dedicated dog sitter with six years of experience. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. I take time to make sure each dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I enjoy being surrounded by dogs and learning new things along the way, I strive to create a positive environment where pets can relax and feel secure as if they were at home. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving a pet with a sitter. That’s why I focus on being dependable, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dogs are happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Through my years of experience, I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable working with energetic dogs that require frequent exercise as well as calmer or older dogs that need a slower pace and more patience. My responsibilities have included feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining secure spaces for puppies and seniors, ensuring clean water and bedding, daily walks, monitored playtime, leash training, kennel training, connecting with anxious or aggressive dogs, etc. I have also gained experience understanding dog body language and behavioral cues. This has helped me recognize when a dog may be stressed, excited, tired, or in need of attention. Being attentive to these signals allows me to respond appropriately and provide care that fits each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure and relaxed while in my care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, which is why I prioritize reliability, communication, and respect. I make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is being well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. Overall, my experience caring for animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and I strive to provide a safe, attentive, and positive environment where every dog feels comfortable and loved. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and constant supervision. Throughout the week, I intentionally set aside time for dog care activities such as walks, outdoor breaks, enrichment, and quality interaction. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so taking dogs on walks or letting them explore safely is something that fits easily into my lifestyle. This allows me to provide pets with both physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition to basic care, I also make time to simply spend quality time with the pets I watch. Whether it’s playing, giving attention, or keeping them company, I believe dogs benefit from having someone present who is patient and engaged with them. I try to make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I am used to maintaining structured care routines, which is important for helping dogs stay relaxed while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure pets always have fresh water, and ensure they get regular bathroom breaks and exercise. Sticking to their normal routine helps dogs feel safe and reduces unnecessary stress. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main goal is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. Maintaining a familiar routine helps pets feel safe and reduces stress while their owners are away. In terms of boarding in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where dogs have space to relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, daily walks, and time for exercise and mental stimulation. I also monitor them closely to ensure they are comfortable and adjusting well to the new environment. When house sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s care exactly how they are used to it. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship while also keeping the home clean with respect to the owner’s space. Staying in the pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed while their owner is away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they are comfortable and happy. If a dog is more energetic, I make sure they get enough activity. If they are older or more relaxed, I adjust the care to be calm and patient. Communication is very important to me while caring for pets. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and happy. My goal is to give pets reliable and attentive care.
About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
About: I recently took a break from dog sitting to focus on caring for my baby. Now that things have settled into a routine, I'm excited to start accepting bookings again! I have 6+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!

I'm currently working for Uber part-time with open availability in the evening after 3pm Mon-Friday. Being self-employed not only allows me to make my own schedule, but I have a very reliable vehicle with lots of space. I've already been transporting dogs and cats with their owners for a couple of years now, and I've gotten wonderful feedback about the level of comfort their furry friends experience during transport! When your pet is in my care, they will be safe and well looked after. I keep a close eye on them and provide secure spaces for playing. I believe trust is important, so I communicate with pet owners to give them peace of mind. Your pet will get personal attention, lots of love, and fun activities, making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. You can be confident that I will create a friendly and positive atmosphere for all pets!

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks. She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, and I have 10 years of professional pet care experience. I can care for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, chickens, and rodents. I enjoy walking, watching, feeding and just generally caring for all animals. Anytime on weekends. I am also available during the day all week except for Tuesday. I take care of animals on a farm and that is taken care of at dawn and dusk. I come with plenty of poop bags, water, and healthy dog treats. I follow instructions to the letter and I make the safety of animals my priority.
“Lety was amazing! She was so patient and kind with my pup who is a bit reactive. She was also very attentive and communicative. She let me know how sofie was doing each time she checked on her and gave her lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Really appreciated her help when we were out of town and will definitely be requesting her for future services. Thank you, Lety!”
About: A passionate caretaker with a lifetime of experience with love and understanding for all pups! Experience with professional caretaking, positive reinforcement dog training, and foster care. I usually do pet sitting around my work schedule and am always ready for dog sitting days 😸 My work started in San Diego and Los Angeles, most recently making the move to Boise where I’ve fallen in love with the area. In my clients home I always make sure I know I everything I need to know about the pup to make them feel as comfortable at safe as possible. New caretakers can be spooky to our pets sometimes and positive, proper introductions are very essential! I make sure to communicate with the owners about the dogs needs and make sure I am aware of any notes or concerns.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember! I’ve had dogs, cats, Guinnea pigs, chickens, fish, and snakes! I would love to help out with any of your pets! I’m currently working part time, so I have availability to work most days! I can work around your schedule to come early mornings or at night whenever is necessary. I have a fenced yard for your dogs to run around in and have the time of their life! I’ve also learned over the years to be very cautious about leaving doors open, so there’s no concern about your pet getting out of sight!
About: I am extroverted and creative, and I have an affinity for people having unique inspirations and passions. I really love animals, but sadly, have none to call my own! I would love to be around them more, and offer my help and care to the community who may need it. I have been inconsistently house sitting and dog walking for years now, but I am now hoping to do it more often! I have a lack of reviews, but it’s not for lack of experience :) I am laid back and I have a very flexible schedule! My availability is almost entirely open. Let me know if you need care last minute! I enjoy giving them outdoor time, so they can run around, and let out all their excitement and energy. I also love giving them little treats, when they are allowed!
About: I love pets so much and truly believe that they play an important role in human's lives. I provide top notch pet and house-sitting services. You can rest comfortably while you're away knowing your furry friends are safe. I also have experience feeding chickens and other farm animals as well. I am extremely trustworthy, dependable and function at a high level. I love to interact with pet owners, pets and friends/family members. I am extremely personable and people love me. I have had animals from an early age in life and know the importance of taking care of them. I would treat each pet as if it were one of my own, or part of my family. When you hire me you will be impressed!
About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. Like I’ve mentioned I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs: I cared for a Dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my prior dog, Tikka, who became blind as she aged. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to Great Dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. At times things need to slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. Love taking walks and able to give meds. I am very sensitive to a dogs feelings and enjoy seeing them happy. I'll do whatever it takes. I am retired so I have plenty of time to spend and play with my furry friends! I'll be staying at your home, so I will stay close in the community. I also love to help people with their garden! I am great at following all instructions given by the owner. I take them on long walks, playing fetch and cuddling up on the couch with them.
“Anthony jumped into action when we needed a last minute dog walker when going out of town. He was very communicative and clearly enjoyed the time with our pup. Looking forward to booking him again and knowing Finley is in good hands!”
About: 👋🏼 hi, I’m new to this platform, came from Wag! Really like to earn my place here, give me a shot I promise I’ll do a great job that your animals will approve. Open for walks, drop-in, and sitting! I genuinely love caring for dogs 🐕 & cats 🐱. My intention is simple: to support their happiness, health, & inner confidence. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of ages, sizes, & energy levels—from powerful Cane Corsos, to intense Belgian Malinois, to quiet, intuitive Lhasa Apsos. I’ve worked across the behavioral spectrum & cared for dogs others were afraid of, including aggressive, reactive, or just misunderstood(more often than not). Each animal teaches me something different, & I approach every one as an individual. I’m engaged & attentive. I spend quality time observing their cues & communicating in ways that help them feel safe, at ease, & understood—often visible in how they soften, relax, & respond. Animals support me in ways only they can, & I’m grateful for that. In return, I support them case by case. Sometimes that means a long, connected pack walk. Other times it’s noticing what makes them uncomfortable & gently helping them overcome it. Animals experience the world differently than humans do; when that’s overlooked, imbalance can arise. My goal is to bridge that gap. Safety always comes first. Beyond that, I guide animals toward balance, confidence, & well-being. I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” My schedule is pretty flexible, weekend, holiday, all is well, 1st come 1st gratefully serve. I’m also Van 🚐 life-ing, and go where the animal takes me, so don’t let my location fool ya, I’ve cover any where from Carlsbad to San Diego thus far ✌🏼 ♥️ 🙏🏼. I will always treat your fury family members and your home with love, respect, and integrity. “Leave the place better than I found it”, that’s the result.
About: I don’t have issues with watching/walking more than one dog at a time. I’ve been pet sitting/house sitting for my friends/neighbor’s two dogs for the past 3 years. I have an 11 year old Shiba Inu who I love to death. Even though he can be a brat at time. My dog lives with my mom, so house sitting for you will not be an issue. I owned a cat for 10 years before he passed away. Other people in my neighborhood have relied on my to check in on their pets when needed. I’ve been around all types of breeds, big and small. Since I have a dog I know what pet care is like. - I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. - I have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages - I can watch multiple pets at a time. My repeat family had two dogs and a cat I work full time down in San Diego. But I work from home three days a week so I can walk/check in on your pets during those days of the week. I can make myself available on weekends too. I will follow the care routine of your pet. I will cater to their feeding and walking schedule. I have a car so I can take them to dog parks (if requested) and vet appointments.

“Luciana is so dependable and contentious. When she says she'll be there, she is there, I never have to worry and can count on her to fill in on puppy care when we need the extra support. So grateful for Luciana.”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I grew up with three german shepherds while volunteering at my local animal sanctuary, where I fostered kittens and ended up falling in love and adopting 3 of them! I love both dogs and cats and due to traveling I can no longer have my own, so I enjoy giving love to any other furry friends I can<3 I recently relocated to Mission Valley, so I'm excited to start meeting some new furry friends in the San Diego area! I'm currently working part-time, so when I'm not working my job with the Padres, I am more than happy to take care of your pet! I’m not currently offering care in my own home, but I treat all of my clients homes with the utmost respect. I make sure we go over all the details in depth so we have a seamless system in place before their trip.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I had 2 pugs that eventually had puppies. I loved them so much that I kept them all so I ended up with 9 dogs in my house. I also have some veterinarians in my family that taught me how to take care of pets. I'm currently a student at Southwestern College studying Biology and my schedule is changing constantly. Although I always find time to spend with my pets outside daily. So don't hesitate to contact me and I'll work something out! Like I said I grew up with a family of vets and have learned to provide a genuine care to animals based on there owners preferences. I understand that leaving a dog with someone unknown can be tough so don't hesitate to get to know me and l'd love to get to know you too.

“Darylee and her family were wonderful! She sent pictures to update us on how Dash was doing. It brought us much joy/peace knowing that Dash was in great hands and having a great time running around in their large fenced-in back yard and playing with the goats. :)”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Erica did an amazing job with our dog. She made sure Cici got attention and the best of care to include administering medication as needed. She sent pictures throughout the day and was excellent at communicating. I felt like our fur baby was in great hands.”
“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”

Brooke provided daily updates along with photos to assure us everything was going great. We will definitely utilize their pet care again. Thank you both so much! Lori & Steve”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“Tricia is hands down amazing! This was my first time using the Rover services and it’s nice that I don’t have to look elsewhere to find Louis a sitter or someone to board him. The best part of it all was the amount of photos she sent to make me comfortable throughout his stay. Also me not leaving too many instructions and making it work. Louis was in good hands and it was more than I could have asked for. I would highly recommend Tricia and her family.”
“Excellent service! Provides daily photos and updates. Works great with dogs that are not used to multiple people or dogs. Very accommodating and times/date adjustments. Would highly recommend her.”
“We dropped off our Great Dane "puppy", Hercules, with Danielle for a weekend of boarding. Danielle was extremely accomodating with our drop off and pick up times. Hercules had a blast and Danielle sent countless pictures of him to keep us updated. We (and Hercules) cannot wait to drop him off at Danielle's for our next trip. Thank you!”

I already rebooked her for a longterm stay with teddy. My pup was very happy and can tell she spoled him and tokk care if him in the right way!!”
About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“My pups had a wonderful time at Jane’s home and received lots of love. Will be calling on Jane again soon ❣️? Thank you so much for easing my concerns being away from them and keeping me in touch with the wonderful photos?”
