“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”

I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future.

“Churro had a great time at Kimberly’s🐶💚 It was our first time leaving Churro with someone outside of family and we were extremely nervous, but Kimberly’s warm, friendly and sweet personality won us (esp Churro!) over and her daily pictures and check-ins gave us such a relief and peace of mind while we were away. Churro even made new friends and I think he was genuinely happy to be a part of Kimberly’s pack. She is a genuine dog lover and I’m so grateful I found such a gem of a person/family on Rover to take such amazing care of my baby 🩷 Thank you so much for all your love and awesomeness!!! 🩵💙💜🤍”

“Danielle & her family were amazing!!!! Extremely communicative, flexible, and kind when watching my 5-year-old (often anxious) foxhound. She had no issue when my pickup and drop off times kept changing, and even fed her some of their dog’s food (after getting our permission) when she ran out during Clementine’s stay (our fault - we miscounted). Clementine seemed super at ease staying there and we will definitely be using Danielle again in the future :)”

Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”

“Nicole and her family were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend her! Nicole is incredibly kind and is clearly really good with dogs. She took care of our Australian Shepherd Obi-wan over the Christmas holidays and really went above and beyond caring for him and keeping us updated the entire time. Our dog is very high energy and her dog Teddy was a perfect playmate, they have a wonderful backyard and doggie door for them to run around in. Nicole sent us several pictures and videos every day, and gave us detailed information about how he was settling in. It was so comforting to know that he was well taken care of while we were away! In addition to playtime with Teddy they also took Obi on a hike and were very attentive to all of his needs. We feel so lucky to have found such a great place for our dog and will definitely board with her again!”

About: My name is Gabi! I’m a dog lover with experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I raised my own from puppyhood and have also fostered/cared for senior dogs, so I have experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s routine and personality to help them feel comfortable and at home. Due to allergies, I can only care for hypoallergenic dog breeds. Thanks for understanding! To ensure every dog gets the attention they deserve, I take no more than 2 dogs at a time and will be home full time with your pets during their stay. Your fur babies will receive plenty of care, supervision, and love while they stay with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is quiet, clean, and dog-friendly, with no stairs and dog beds in every room, so your pet always has a comfortable place to relax. My own dog is calm and friendly with other dogs and happily welcomes fellow friendly pups. I will provide regular updates with photos and videos while you are away. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable during their staycation with us.

About: I have had pets, including both cats and dogs, my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I truly love animals and care very deeply about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full time from 8-4 monday-friday. I am free on the weekends and on weekdays after 4 to walk or do check ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs they may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m very attentive and responsible, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

About: I have two cats of my own, each with their own special needs. One requires medication via syringe in the mouth, eye drops, and even spoon-feeding nightly. The other one just likes to eat.... I'll make sure your cat(s) are taken care of and loved, even if it means I get in trouble with my own cats.

About: I'm very comfortable around cats and understand that they have different needs than dogs, especially around routine and low-stress handling. I'm attentive to litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and fresh water, and I know cats often prefer a calm, unhurried visit rather than a lot of noise or disruption. I pay close attention to each cat's comfort level and won't force interaction if a cat prefers space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, or specific care needs, and I always make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I'll send photo updates each visit so you know your cat is safe and well cared for.

“Oh wow! On top of already being a wonderful sitter with drop-in visits, there was an emergency (saw on my pet cam) at my place when our litter-robot malfunctioned :( Texted Caitlin last minute and she immediately came over that same day to try to fix it. When fixing didn’t work, she also went out of her way to go to the store and bought a litter box when the litter-robot stayed broken. She’s seriously AMAZING! Thank you so much for your time and effort, Caitlin! Truly recommend her as a sitter!!”

“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”

About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.

My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.

About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! (Since Rover is now claiming copyright over my own photos of your pups, any photoshoot photos with great potential for paintings will need to be sent to you separately if you request them!) I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)

My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”

About: My husband and I are true dog lovers, and our rescue pup, Myka, is a cherished member of our family. We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and we'll care for yours as if they were our own. We offer a safe, loving home with a large backyard, plenty of attention, and daily walks in the canyon nearby. Myka is friendly and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when they want to play, but is also happy to give them space if that's what they prefer. Whether your dog loves adventures, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a cozy spot, we'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for during their stay. ❤️ I work from home and only work a few hours each day, which means I have plenty of time to give your dog attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day! We have a very cozy, dog-friendly home with plenty of toys, comfortable dog beds, and lots of space to relax and feel at home. Our goal is to make every dog feel loved, comfortable, and part of the family during their stay. I always supervise dogs carefully, both indoors and outdoors, and follow any instructions provided by their owners to ensure they remain happy, healthy, and secure. We share our home with our rescue dog, Myka, who is sweet, friendly, and respectful of other dogs. She enjoys playing when other dogs are interested, but is also happy to give them space.

“Gris was amazing to us , she is very good at communicating and ease every fear you can have. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

About: With over 20 years of experience, Natalie & Zac are the perfect hosts to house and watch over your furry besties! From caring for our own pets, to fostering senior dogs, we are well equipped to give your pets a fun, loving, secure stay. Natalie is a nurse and Zac is an engineer, who can occasionally work from home every other Friday. Natalie and Zac both now work M-F, 9-5pm (this corporate life is new for us). We are happy to take care of your pups needs before or after work, or on weekends. We are big dog lovers; we make sure that every dog gets personalized attention. Cuddle sessions, playing with toys, long walks, we do it all to make sure each pup feels loved while away from their humans. We also make sure that their environment is dog-friendly and pet-proofed; we have cozy sleep areas with blankets and low volume environments so dogs aren't overwhelmed. While we don't have a yard, we live close to multiple parks ensuring the pups get good walk time, have a safe place to use the facilities, as well as have opportunities to socialize (if that's what they need). Overall, we very experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages and know that they would have the best time in our cares.

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pups for many years, and the only reason I don't have dogs of my own... is because of my two cats I am between jobs at this time, therefore I am very flexible with my time. In the long run will continue to work around it to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will not be able (at this time) to take care of pets overnight in my own home. Will work in / around your home.

“Michael did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. Very conscientious and careful, he took her on lots of walks and went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable at his home. This was our first pet sitting experience and he really put us at ease. He also sent photos everyday and we felt our dog was watched after as one of his own. Great job!”

Booking was easy, communication was great, and the photos she sent were absolutely heartwarming. She had treats and toys and puzzles for the dogs... I couldn't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!”

About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
