About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires

“Madelyn is so good that my dog was barely excited to see me when picking him up after being gone for 5 nights. They bonded quickly and she was extremely attentive to his fragility post neuter surgery. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will be booking again!”

Taylor P.

“Aliciene was fantastic! The dogs enjoyed being with her and her two lovely dogs. When I picked up my dogs they were exhausted from playing so much at her home. If I ever need a dog sitter in SD again I know who to go to :)”

Jasmine T.

“Chau is such a great dog sitter! She is responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. I really appreciate Chau's excellent communication in person, via text and through photos. My dog was very well cared for over the weekend and came home happy and tired from all the fun. I will definitely use Chau again because of her obvious love for dogs and her enthusiasm to watch them.”

Jenn G.

“Melissa was awesome! She was incredibly friendly and amazing communication. Karlos can sometimes have trouble trusting new people, but Melissa connected with him immediately and made him feel safe and welcomed. She sent pictures every day, took him on tons of walks, and provided him lots of LOVE! I’ll definitely work with Melissa next time Karl needs a home for the weekend!”

Nick K.

“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”

Rochelle F.

“Alex was great! Sent updates and photos every day. When I picked up Millie she was torn between going home with me and going back with Alex. I say that's a great endorsement! Thank you Alex!”

Peter S.

I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”

“Carolina and her husband are wonderful! They took such good care of our pup while we were away.

Hassana C.

“Darya was wonderful! She responded right away and was able to come every day to check on, feed, and scoop the litterbox for my elderly Siamese cat. She sent adorable pictures and a daily status report. She is worth every penny for the peace of mind that allows you to enjoy your vacation instead of feeling guilty about leaving your angel on their own.”

Alexandra R.

“Rose was awesome with our two cats! Very communicative and shared lots of photos and updates. Would highly recommend Rose to anyone, and will be keeping her in mind next time we go out of town.”

Jerome L.

About: I have a cat of my own for three years now so I am very familiar with working with animals and caring for them. I am trying to get my foot in the animal industry so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn more about animals and care for them. I do work part time in the mornings during the week but in the afternoon and nights I have full availability and able to work around my schedule if full time hours are offered. I currently have two dogs in one cats. I have a blue Doberman, Belgium, Melany, German👽 Shepherd mix and a long hair domestic cat. The dogs have had for about seven years now. And my cat. I’ve had for about three years, so I am very familiar with caring for animals, attending to their needs.

“Viktorija took great care of Bruno while we were away from a week. She provided great photos and videos throughout her visits and we were happy to relax away from home, knowing our kitty was so well cared for.”

Rachel G.

“Absolutely fantastic! She was so kind and loving to my fur babies and kept me updated the whole time I was gone. Also felt so much safer booking with her knowing she has a vet care background/knowledge. Would definitely book again!!!”

Hailee W.

“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”

Nick J.

“Christine was so amazing with our cat Nova! She played with her, fed her, and made sure her water and litter box was taken care of. She even supported with clean up after Nova threw up a little bit from eating too quickly. Nova is usually a little feisty but by the end she warmed up to Christine. Additionally, Christine scheduled a meet & greet with Nova prior to us leaving for the weekend- which was so appreciated as we were able to meet her, let our cat meet her, and provide instructions and directions in person. She is clearly knowledgeable about animals and went above and beyond to ensure Nova was well taken care of. She sent pictures and a little summary after each visit. She was kind, caring, and friendly & we definitely will have her take care of Nova again in the future. Would definitely recommend Christine!”

Joyce H.

“Upon my return I found my Lana to be well socialized and taken care of almost as well as if I had not left at all. Maria went beyond what was asked and made sure that my apartment was orderly even with the disruption of Lana knocking over some glassware and my forgetting to take out the trash before the trip. Thankful to have had someone to watch Lana during my absence.”

Cole R.

About: Cats hold a special place in my heart, despite the fact that I’m a current dog owner. Their presence has always been calming. I enjoy gaining the trust of cats, as it’s often a challenge unlike most dogs. In terms of experience, I’ve owned cats for a number of years and I can perform any task you need including: Grooming, walking, play time and medication administration.

About: A family member of mine came under care of 2 cats with trauma. Upon meeting them, they were cautious of me. Within the week, however, I managed to earn their trust. I give cats the space they need to form an opinion of me. I keep calm and try not to overwhelm them.

“Ramisha took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit anxious but she was very sweet and responsive and my cats warmed up to her very quickly! I would definitely recommend her for any pet needs and will be rebooking her for future needs. :)”

Marlene G.

“Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.”

Natalia G.

“Marie went above and beyond to take care of our cat Reggie! Our sitter had to cancel last minute prior to our weekend away planned and in all the panic I had reached out to Marie who was thankfully available. Her communication was wonderful while we were gone sending the sweetest pictures of our little man. Our apartment complex gate was also inconsistent and through it all she was so kind and wonderful to work with even with the challenges. We would love to have Marie back again soon! She saved our weekend trip and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

Kristine K.

About: I have some pet care experience, particularly with puppy training and senior pet care. I understand their unique needs, ensuring they receive the right attention. My dedication to providing personalized care and building relationships with pets and their owners makes me a great choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an important part of my day. I have flexible hours during the week and weekends, so I can take good care of your pets. You can count on me to give them the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety is my top priority. I keep the environment clean and remove any hazards. I follow routines for feeding and playtime to keep pets happy. I also stay in touch with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their needs and preferences.

About: Had my Golden Retriever over 14.5 years. We are very patient, around the house all day, and have some toys and treats that our sweet Bailey girl left behind we’d like to share! Will take your pup on walks, make sure they are fed appropriately and give lots of complimentary belly rubs. Both of us are home a majority of the day. We are active. Happy to take your pets on walks or any outdoor activities they may enjoy. Have a large condo so plenty of space. Can crate pet if you’d like but am flexible as long as pet is comfortable in our home. Have separate rooms and areas to put pets in if there are multiple or need their space.

“Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!”

“Melissa is absolutely fantastic! I’m completely neurotic about who watches my pup and she put me 100% at ease. She sent me pics and updates about my pup, which was great. Most of all, I knew my pup was in good hands by how excited she was every morning when we got close to Melissa’s place ... she knew she was going to have a great day!”

About: Howdy! I've been on rover for a few years now. I briefly stopped in 2023 and then in 2024 I moved down to SD. Now that my pooch and I are settled in we are ready to dog sit again! Throughout my time with Rover I developed a number of regular folks that trusted their dogs with me and my pooch. I have one dog, Butler. He's 8 and is a loving and patient dalmatian. And as you can see in the photos uploaded he definitely enjoys the dog company 🐾 See below for my work schedule :) I work in the office two days a week and work from home the other 3. On the work days in the office I am gone the whole time so I ask that your pooch is well acclimated to being able to be left alone for that extended period of time I live in an apartment right now that has plenty of parks around it so to make sure the dogs get exercise we can either go on long walks at least twice a day or go to the nearby parks

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. So thoughtful, thorough, kind and gentle. My baby was so very well taken care of, with activity log of the day.

Jessica A.

About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

Talinn J.

“Darya was so sensitive and loving with Taco. He was having a tough week with Daddy being away, and she was able to sweetly coax him on his walks each day. This was a great relief to my stress about working late while my husband was out of town. I will certainly be asking for her help in the future.”

Anna & Daniel E.

“LOVE Isabelle! She’s very kind and immediately gained the trust of my dog. She was so gracious on very short notice, due to emergency! Will absolutely book with her again!”

Kelsey L.

“Was my first time using this app and Andrea was great. My baby girl Jazzie enjoyed her time and loved the photos of my dog as they were on there walk. Definitely booking Andrea again!!!”

Joseph G.

About: Hello! I'm Natalie, an enthusiastic animal lover with a particular soft spot for cats and dogs. With years of experience caring for pets, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. I recently became free of my regular mom’s responsibilities and my daughter lives and studies in San Diego, CA. I work remotely as a yoga/posture and Breathing Therapist. Whether it's playful pups or cozy kitties, I bring patience, affection, and a keen sense of responsibility to every pet-sitting job. I prioritize their well-being and happiness, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a homeowner myself, I can take care not only of your animals' needs but also of your home. Trust me to be a reliable and dedicated sitter for your beloved pets and your property. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members! I work from home and set my own hours. I leave here and there sometimes to play pickleball or go have lunch or dinner with a friends but not for long periods of time I am very clean and tidy, and I do not smoke or drink. I am a homeowner and understand how to take excellent care of other people’s homes and pets. Caring for someone’s home and animals is a big responsibility, and I take it seriously. I also use these kinds of services for my own home and pets, so I believe in karma—along with being naturally caring, responsible, and loving.

“Jarrod is absolutely amazing!!! His attention to detail is incredible. He filled up my dogs water bowl because it was getting low after he left the walk. He was able to do us a huge favor and complete a last minute booking for us. Your pup is in great hands with him! 100% will be rebooking”

Kristyn S.

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I grew up with both a cat and hogan’s would love to have a pet of my own right now but just can’t afford it, so I love taking in your pets for a couple days and giving them all my love!

On weekends will do everything from hiking to going to the beach with your pets. My apartment is a pet friendly apartment, almost every person that lives there has a dog. We have our own dog park that is attached to the apartment with a fenced in area where dogs can play. No substances or small children, just my boyfriend and I in a spacious two bedroom.

About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will do my best to work hard and as many hours to take care of the fur babies. I can easily follow directions and will make sure to go the extra mile to keep any dog/dogs safe and make sure they are always happy and comfortable around me and also plan to keep the owners updated as much as possible throughout my care.

About: Hi! I love dogs and spending time outside, so dog walking is the perfect combo for me. I’m easygoing, reliable, and comfortable with all kinds of dogs.

About: From age 6 I have been caring for all kinds of pets. From my own dogs, cats, and even rats to my neighbor’s pets, to even working at a pet care boarding facility, you can trust that I have years of experience. I am in online school full-time. This means my schedule is flexible and I can give full attention to your furry friends!

About: Hi, My name is Alex and I would love to be your dog sitter during the busy work week. I work from home and have 2 dachshunds. They are both friendly and would love to keep your dog company. Outside of my own dogs, I have dog sat for many friends (check out my photos!) Fell free to reach out if you have any questions. I work from home and will be available on the weekdays. Outside of meetings, I can take your dog out whenever you need from every 2 hours and up. Overall, my schedule is pretty flexible. My apartment is very dog friendly. We keep the apartment clean and anything dangerous off the floor. We have stairs and ramps for the couch and bed.

About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.

About: Before having a dog of my own, community members would entrust me with their babies for an evening occasionally. This lasted since I was 12 until 15. I would play with them and walk them for several hours. A few years ago I met Melody, a beautiful big golden chihuahua. She was already entering old age. Still, with her small body and big bark, I adored her. She passed away and then I came into care of a husky puppy. I named her Aria in honor of her sister. She has blossomed into a beautiful big girl. Since she became mine, I learned to give much more energy into her physical activity, and I learned about her individual nutrition. Training a stubborn personality like hers has been challenging but fun. It’s taught me to be strict and authoritative so she follows me as a leader. At the same time I spoil her and shower her with lots of love and attention. 5 mile walks are no sweat for me. Currently I am a student. My schedule clears me fully 4 days of the week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Daily I walk a lot and travel all over San Diego. I do not offer pet care in my own home, however as a pet parent, I understand what to be cautious of and expect. I will take any requests and each individual environment and personality into consideration when given the opportunity to care for a pet in my client’s home.

About: I have some pet care experience, particularly with puppy training and senior pet care. I understand their unique needs, ensuring they receive the right attention. My dedication to providing personalized care and building relationships with pets and their owners makes me a great choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an important part of my day. I have flexible hours during the week and weekends, so I can take good care of your pets. You can count on me to give them the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety is my top priority. I keep the environment clean and remove any hazards. I follow routines for feeding and playtime to keep pets happy. I also stay in touch with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their needs and preferences.

“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”

Melinda B.

“Excellent care and communication!”

Jasmin F.

“Jessica is communicative and very good with Bean. She’s attentive to Bean’s needs and gave her lots of play and cuddle time! Lots of space too!”

Wendy C.

“Melissa was awesome! She was incredibly friendly and amazing communication. Karlos can sometimes have trouble trusting new people, but Melissa connected with him immediately and made him feel safe and welcomed. She sent pictures every day, took him on tons of walks, and provided him lots of LOVE! I’ll definitely work with Melissa next time Karl needs a home for the weekend!”

Nick K.

“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”

Rochelle F.

“Jordan was wonderful and took both of my dogs. She was communicative, sent photos regularly, and kept me updated throughout their stay with her. In the photos I could tell my dogs were relaxed and happy (especially when she took them to Kate Sessions). Thank you Jordan, and highly recommend!”

Danielle S.

“Carolina and her husband are wonderful! They took such good care of our pup while we were away. They were super flexible with a last minute booking and kept us in the loop with photos and updates throughout the weekend. It’s clear our dog had a great time with them and we’ll definitely reach back out in the future for other sitting needs! Thanks so much Carolina :)”

Eliza T.

“Vanessa provided excellent care for Charlie. He got out on neighborhood walks, had open access to her large, fenced in yard, and got to play with her dog too! He came home very happy. We’d definitely book again.”

Kim K.

“I cannot say enough good things about Taylor & Sarah. They exceed all communication expectations and it was beyond evident in the photos they sent that our dog felt super comfortable and happy with them and Mango. As a rover sitter myself, I know what goes into caring for others dogs - we are so appreciative of their level of care, and they made us feel beyond comfortable while we were away :)”

Carly D.

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”

Monica D.

“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”

“Sarah was a life saver to be available so last minute! She was great about communicating / sending pictures and making sure our Harley girl was comfortable and happy :)”

Erin M.

“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

“Our dog Poppy had a great stay with Benjamin! She was exhausted when she got home which shows she had a great time! Benjamin was very easy to communicate with and was very responsive and sent us a few pictures of Poppy during her stay. We will definitely book with Benjamin again!”

Megan L.

“Teresa was so wonderful! Her response time is so great, and all of the videos and pictures she sent were perfect. Meatball really enjoyed his stay with her, and had no problem making himself at home. Teresa made his stay so comfortable, and I felt good knowing he was in great hands. Meatball will definitely be staying with her again in the future!”

Madeline V.

“Lisa is seriously one of the best dog sitters you could possibly have so much so that my dog Ezra never wants to leave her house when I come to pick her up!”

Andrew M.

“I can't thank Mihaela enough for taking such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent a lot of photos while he was in her care. She was also so kind and understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick him up later. Would love to have her watch our dog again. Thank you!”

Kim C.

“Daralyn was awesome! We had a meet and greet before and let us see her place where Louie would be staying. Louie wasn’t eating all his food at first and she was able to use treats to finish his meals. Sent updates and images too. We were busy getting married and she was even able to accommodate an extra day last minute. Will definitely book again!”
