“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Whitney took such good care of Bailey! She got along just fine with her other dog and I loved that Bailey got to play a lot with her kids and get all her energy out! Definitely would use Whitney again! Thank you Whitney!”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“We were so lucky to have Madison take care of our dog over our 13 day vacation. Duke suffers from "only-dog" syndrome and doesn't socialize with other dogs much, so he gets anxious and doesn't always have the best manners at first. Madison and Moses took the time to work with him and teach him how to be part of the pack. She stayed in contact with us with regular updates and pictures and always reassured us that he was meeting the expectations they were setting for him. We were confident that he was safe, well cared for, and in the very best hands that he could be in while we were away. I can not recommend Madison highly enough if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Kept my dog over Christmas and New Years (12 days) and did such a wonder job. They even worked with me to add 2 nights when i was having issues with flight. I got multiple pictures each day and they are very responsive when I text. I would recommend them to anyone. My dog always comes back happy.”
“My dogs stay with Pilar was excellent. She is so kind and nice. My wife and I have trust in her since we first met. I recommend her to everyone, we will be using her again in the future!”
“Bailey is awesome and so easy to work with. She gave extra-special care and attention to my furr-babes. Communication was quick and easy. Will definitely use her again. And - highly recommend her.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs my entire life. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs who are truly part of my family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe they all deserve patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work Monday thru Thursday. You are welcome to drop off on Thursday evening with a pick up on Sunday anytime. I will spend my time with your fur baby making sure they are having a great time and well cared for. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keeps your fur babies company. They are allowed on furniture. I love snuggles and will take lots of pictures of your pets while you’re away.
“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
“This was both my first time boarding my pup & my first time using Rover - I couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding May & Marc! They made drop-off and pick-up as easy as could be, even with my return flight being delayed. They sent daily updates & pictures of Goose enjoying himself and getting exercise. May & Marc allowed me to focus on my work while away without having to stress over how my boy was doing. I can only hope I get the chance to book with them again for my next trip.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Jason was wonderful and showed great care for my dog, Sasha! From the moment we had our initial visit, I felt at ease (and Sasha instantly connected with him). Jason was incredibly adaptable to Sasha's specific needs, taking the time to understand her personality and routine. Throughout her stay, he sent me numerous photos and videos, which was such a relief and made me feel connected even when I was away. Above all, he sent us home with a special bag of treats, which, coming from someone in the hospitality industry, was such a delightful surprise. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for personalized care for their furry family members. Sasha and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”

“We first met Mariela last year but ended up changing our plans when our cat got sick. Now, a year later, he is doing great and we need to head out of town. I reached back out and she remembered us! Because our cat needs an insulin shot twice daily, she came over to learn how to give the shot and then came another day to practice giving the shot. Mariela communicates well and always let us know when she was on her way. She did great and we headed out of town. She always checked in on time and sent us 4-5 pictures from every visit. I can’t express enough how much we all enjoyed the photos of our cat! She gave clear written reports from each visit. We already booked for this Saturday and will be booking another time soon. We highly recommend Mariela!”
“Kaitlyn was awesome. So flexible, and she had great communication. I also messed up on something and she was super understanding. Will definitely rebook with her on our next trip.”
“Amber took excellent care of our senior cat. Rusty needs daily injections and Amber was able to give him this medication without any stress to him. I would recommend Amber without hesitation and will rebook in future.”
“Shelby and her husband Dalton were outstanding when sitting my two cute kitties for 10 days. I was very nervous to leave them for so long but Shelby was willing to meet them in advance which gave me peace of mind getting to know her prior to the scheduled dates. She was familiar with my neighborhood, understood my alarm system, and was great with my cats. During my time away, they were prompt, communicative, and responsive when I checked in. They took cute pics and played with my kitties. I could tell from what they sent me that my babies were happy when they visited. I’m truly thankful to have found someone who is reliable and accommodating. Especially since my furry loved ones are so important to me. I’d highly recommend Shelby and Dalton and will be continuing my relationship with them in the future.”
“Loren took care of our kitty Carson for 2 Weeks, was thorough, neat and careful doing so. She sent daily pictures and notes. We appreciated her care and commitment very much.”

I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
About: Hello! My name is Angelina and I’ve had cats my whole life! I’ve definitely seen it all from having to give insulin shots to inhalers to mood shifts from family members leaving to the service. So I’d love to say I’m well versed in the craziness of cats. I’m big on love and snacks along with if your baby needs any medications while she’s here. You can count on me! Best, Angelina Darling
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”

About: Hi! I'm new to Rover, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with pets, and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

About: **Professional Animal Care Experience You Can Trust** As a zookeeper at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, I've dedicated my career to understanding and caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. My professional experience includes working with everything from delicate songbirds to massive rhinos, giving me unique insights into animal behavior, health, and wellness that I bring to every pet care situation. **Lifelong Animal Lover** Animals have been my passion since childhood. Throughout my life, I've been the proud caretaker of a diverse family of pets including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and horses. This hands-on experience with domestic animals, combined with my professional work with exotic species like monkeys, giraffes, and rhinos has taught me to read animal body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. **Your Pet's Home Away From Home** My setup is perfect for your furry family members. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends (with proper introductions, of course). Your pet will have lots of company- my husband works from home full-time, and I work part-time, ensuring there's almost always someone here to provide attention, care, and companionship. **Why Choose Me?** - Professional animal care background with exotic and domestic species - Experienced in reading animal behavior and providing individualized care - Safe, secure environment with proper facilities - Nearly constant supervision and companionship - Genuine love and respect for all animals I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking. My goal is to provide the same level of professional, compassionate care I've given to animals throughout my career, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I work part time as a zookeeper at San Diego Zoo, I have all day Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays available as well as afternoons/evenings the rest of the week after 3pm. I have two friendly small dogs and live in a moderate sized house with a large fenced backyard. I can come to your house as well for check ins and walks.

About: I have 35+ years of animal care experience. My animal care journey started with taking care of rabbits, chickens, horses, geese and my own pet fish, birds, gerbils, cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule allowing for me to care for your pet day or night! I look forward to hearing from you and scheduling our first meet and greet, free of charge! I have two dogs in my home.

About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication.

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”

“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I've volunteered and worked at dog shelters and animal sanctuaries, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals; not just dogs and cats but also rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and sheep. I'm comfortable with all types of pets, from mischievous puppies and large breeds to reactive or anxious animals. I’m experienced in administering medication and following detailed care routines. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. I’ll follow their routine, provide lots of attention, and take your dog on their favorite walk or outing. I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day.
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”
“Mariela was great with our pup, doing 2 drop in visits as scheduled. She is very communicative and sends lots of photos to show us how the visits went. We will definitely use Mariela again, thanks!!”

About: I grew up with so many animals around me! My mom has 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my dad has the opposite, 3 dogs and two cats. For a semester at college, I volunteered at a small cat adoption area where I would clean, play, and process cat adoptions. I also volunteer at an SPCA where I walk dogs, and clean dishes and laundry! I love love animals and learning their personalities, and have never lived without them. Even in college, my roommate had a service dog! I am on break from school, so I am available anytime within my break timeframe! I'm perfectly comfortable with quick check-ins, walks, and overnight stays! With good communication, I can ensure walks are safe by knowing your dogs' typical behavior and reactions to people, cars, other animals, or anything else. I would love to foster a good relationship with your animal and build trust so I can read their mood and behaviors efficiently!
About: I have been an owner of both cats and dogs all my life. 2 years ago I started pet sitting for friends and family. I love keeping pets company while their families are away. I’m comfortable taking walks, and giving medicine. I’m currently on summer break which allows me a completely open schedule. I normally go to the gym in the morning then come straight home. Friends may stop by but don’t stay for too long. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly neighbor hood with an open patch of grass. My house has lots of space, A/C and anything else a pet may need.
About: My name is Christina, i was born & raised in San Diego. Grew up in Normal Heights area. But now reside in El cajon area. I am currently a SAHM, so I would be with your dog all day. Living with me are my husband and 2 beautiful baby girls who are 5 and 3 I've always had a love & passion for animals. Growing up i had rabbits, lizards, beta/ gold fish, and dogs. I have experience in dog walking as i use to dog walk, via a ad i had on Craigslist about 4 yrs or so ago. Ive also attented and graduated from the veterinary assistant program from PIMA medical institute in Chula Vista. So i have some experience in the medical side of pet care. I can give meds if needed such as pills or even insulin. I hope i get the chance to watch your four legged baby for you and put a smile on yours & your pets face. 😊 I am a stay at home mom. So I have time to ensure your dog is taken care of through out the day. Walks, feedings, and of course play time. I care for them just like I would my own pets. With the utmost love and care. Lots of Love and snuggles. And plenty of .
About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. She recently passed away, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“We were so lucky to have Madison take care of our dog over our 13 day vacation. Duke suffers from "only-dog" syndrome and doesn't socialize with other dogs much, so he gets anxious and doesn't always have the best manners at first. Madison and Moses took the time to work with him and teach him how to be part of the pack. She stayed in contact with us with regular updates and pictures and always reassured us that he was meeting the expectations they were setting for him. We were confident that he was safe, well cared for, and in the very best hands that he could be in while we were away. I can not recommend Madison highly enough if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Kept my dog over Christmas and New Years (12 days) and did such a wonder job. They even worked with me to add 2 nights when i was having issues with flight. I got multiple pictures each day and they are very responsive when I text. I would recommend them to anyone. My dog always comes back happy.”
“Bailey is awesome and so easy to work with. She gave extra-special care and attention to my furr-babes. Communication was quick and easy. Will definitely use her again. And - highly recommend her.”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Jason was wonderful and showed great care for my dog, Sasha! From the moment we had our initial visit, I felt at ease (and Sasha instantly connected with him). Jason was incredibly adaptable to Sasha's specific needs, taking the time to understand her personality and routine. Throughout her stay, he sent me numerous photos and videos, which was such a relief and made me feel connected even when I was away. Above all, he sent us home with a special bag of treats, which, coming from someone in the hospitality industry, was such a delightful surprise. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for personalized care for their furry family members. Sasha and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two dogs than Ron! From the start, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Ron provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my pups were not only safe but also happy and well cared for. His warm and welcoming family was an added bonus—it's clear that they all truly love animals and treated my dogs like part of their own. When I picked up my dogs, they were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved during their stay. Ron made the process effortless with his attentiveness and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible sitter. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Hana is an outstanding dog sitter and is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pup can be a bit tough to get to open up and she was so patient with him and knew how to best help him feel comfortable. We received pictures and/or videos daily which was such a nice treat and put our minds at ease while we were away. We will absolutely use Hana again!”
