“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“Maryjane did absolutely amazing with my pup! Constantly sending me videos and pictures with little notes on how everything is going!!!! Definitely put my mind at ease knowing she cared and he had 3 playmates at all time:)”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Whitney is the best! Bentley is always well taken care of and Whitney is super great to schedule with. We had a rough trip home with flight delays. Moved pick up times like 3 time and ended up having to add two nights! Whitney was super flexible, adding days and rolling with the changes.”
“Anar took wonderful care of our dog Ace for a full 8 days during Christmas and the new year. She kept us updated daily with pictures and how he was doing. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”
“Vanessa is the best! Our puppy, Ume was extremely well taken care of. She was so sweet to our dog, friendly and professional. We received so many update pictures so I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely recommend Vanessa!”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“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!”

About: I know it's their world and I am simply lucky they let me live in it, temporarily. I've had cats in my family since I was born! We always had two Siamese cats in the house growing up, and my first pet I adopted out of college was my very own cat. I've cat sit for friends over the years as well and always hang out for several hours, not just do a drive by of food and water refill. Even though we all know how much they love to do their own thing, it's important for them too to get some scritches, pets, and zooming around done while you're away.
“Yuanyuan is a kind and responsible person. She sent me photos and updates a couple of times a day. It was my first time sending my cat to another person's home, and I had no worries when she sent me photos and updates. My cat really liked her cat, and I think he fell in love with Yuanyuan and her cat. I will definitely choose her next time. 😻❤️”
“William was an awesome pet sitter! He was attentive and super nice with my kitties! He is a very passionate and caring sitter and I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Jade took amazing care of our Devon rex, Felipe!!

We will absolutely book with her for the next time we need care. Thank you, Jade!!”

“We hired Ivy to watch our senior cat Sox and kitten Drusilla for a week, and she was just wonderful! Excellent communication and daily updates, super sweet photos sent at every visit, and very punctual and attentive. She took great care of both our cats, and they warmed up to her right away. We are so grateful for Ivy's care, it meant the world to know our furbabies were in great hands. Highly recommended, we will definitely contact her again!”

“Savannah was a great sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our cats with her as she played with them every visit and took a lot of pictures:) We would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer!”
“Calla was once again a wonderful cat sitter! She took such thoughtful and attentive care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent regular updates with cute photos and little notes about how things were going, which I really appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared. I came home to a happy, and relaxed cat. I’d trust Calla again in a heartbeat—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including an Akita, an English Bulldog, and currently my 6-year-old French Bulldog. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and over the years I've regularly watched and cared for family members' dogs while they're away on vacation. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy a calm, relaxed environment. My French Bulldog is very laid-back and spends most of her day lounging, napping, and soaking up the sun. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run around, play, get their zoomies out, or simply relax and enjoy being outside. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to unwind, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their stay. I work from home, which allows me to spend most of my day with the dogs in my care. Aside from occasional trips to the gym or running errands, I am home throughout the week and able to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs the attention and consistency they need to feel comfortable and at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I share my home with my boyfriend and our 6-year-old French Bulldog, who is friendly, relaxed, and enjoys spending her days lounging and sunbathing. We have a quiet, low-stress home environment that is ideal for dogs who enjoy both playtime and downtime. Our large backyard provides plenty of space for dogs to run, explore, burn off energy, or simply relax in the sun. I closely supervise outdoor time and always follow each dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by their owners. I understand that every dog is unique, and I work to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they're away from home. I treat every dog in my care like they're part of the family and provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”
“Hooli had a great doggy day care with Shane and Chris! It was our first time leaving our 7.5month old puppy and I could tell she was in good hands. We received lots of photos and updates which put mind at ease!”
“She is very caring and has been amazing, sending a lot of photos, making sure my Chico is properly trained and behaving well with the other dogs. Couldn't ask for a better dogsitter. Best one yet.”
About: I like to stay fit and I love dogs. So I spend a lot of time outside with dogs where they naturally belong. I’ve had a dogs in my family all my life. I’ve enjoyed training puppies and establishing loving ways of communication. I own a gym and I’m constantly telling my clients “want to get your steps in? Get a dog!” I love being outside and pet care keeps me honest. You will always find me out in the Sun with a doggie. We have a fenced bbq area where we hang out during the day and soak up the sun. At least one hour of sprinting up hills or running at a park with me. As long as we have instructions we can reinforce training commands and tons of playtime.
About: I am a full time dog mom with a high energy Australian Shepherd. I’m very patient and I spoil my dog like my child so I know how important trust is when someone leaves their dog in your care, so I will always provide regular photo and video updates. I’ll love your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I’m a full time dog mom, so caring for pups is built into my routine. From daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to snuggles and healthy meals, I structure my days around keeping dogs happy, safe, and well loved. Adding another furry friend to our routine just means more tail wags, more fun, and more love to give! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the pack. I follow their usual routines closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. If your dog is staying with me and gets along well with others, I love taking them to the park to play with my own dog for some extra exercise and social fun! Every pet gets personalized attention, plenty of love, and a cozy, stress free environment.
“Gabrielle was fantastic! Kept me updated throughout the day, sent pictures and videos, and took our dog on multiple walks. Absolutely recommend her and her sweet dog to take care of yours!!”
“Penelope usually barks at men but Antonio came out to meet me with treats and did a great job introducing himself to my skittish pup. He made sure to send videos of Penelope meeting all the pups which eased my nerves. I will definitely be reaching out in the future!!”
“I would highly recommend Vanessa for daycare. She was flexible and could accommodate us last minute, which I am very grateful for! She was patient with my dog Kirby, who seemed well-cared for, happy, and tired when I picked her up. Thank you very much, Vanessa!”
About: I absolutely love animals and I would feel so grateful if you chose me to watch and care for your sweet baby! I have plenty experience as well. I currently work part time commission based for a photography company. I am looking to either put more of my time there or on this platform. I do not own a home, but my apartment is right next to a park. It’s unfenced so your dog will have to be comfortable being leashed. I also enjoy the beach and would love to bring your pets to the water :)
“Olivia was great with both of our dogs! They came home happy and tired. She sent updates and photos throughout their stay and had really great communication the whole time. It was clear they were well taken care of. Thank you Olivia!”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Amazing! Worked with me in a pinch and kept her overnight last minute for me. Sent me updates and pictures of honey. She did well with the other dog she was keeping too. Will definitely be booking again!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Mihaela is a very nice person and super awesome with Rollie. She provided Rollie with lots of playtime, games, walks, and belly rubs. I got many updates and I could tell Rollie enjoyed her stay with Mihaela and didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be a repeated client.”

About: Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
“She was very communicative and took pictures of my dogs and took them on a long walk. My dogs were so tired afterward. I really appreciate her also being accommodating with me. 10/10”
“Jennifer is great! Despite doing and meet and greet, my pup was afraid the first couple of times. Jennifer is great with her and always leaves me an update of how the walk went with multiple pictures. So glad I’ve found someone who loves my pup and takes good care of her.”
“Karilou has walked my dogs in the past. Gus, my new pooch, immediately took to her. Karilou is friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, has a degree in animal behavior, and also has a knack for capturing awesome photos of Gus. She is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Karilou. Glad you're back!”
About: Hi! I’m Kate 😊 I’m a gentle and caring animal lover with about 6 years of pet care experience. I currently care for a cat and previously had a British Shorthair, so I’m familiar with different cat personalities and routines. I also have past experience caring for dogs, though I no longer have one due to moving and space limitations. I only take one pet at a time, follow each cat’s routine closely, and send regular photo updates. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will get plenty of attention. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m responsible, communicative, and truly enjoy caring for pets 🐾 I'm home almost all day with a very flexible schedule. I work from home, so I'm available for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone for more than 1–2 hours. I provide a clean, quiet, and secure apartment. Doors and windows are always closed and locked. I only take one pet at a time, so your cat will never be around unfamiliar animals. I follow all care instructions carefully and monitor your pet's behavior daily for any changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits.
About: Hi! I just moved to San Diego from OC with my 4 year old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) to get my masters in social work. She loves hanging with new dogs of all sizes! At home, my mom has two dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for years now. I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Because I have a puppy at home, I have managed my schedule around her needs and can do the same for your pups! I have all the free time working remote, I’d love to hangout with your dogs and I know my dogs would too! My yard is fully fenced in with lots of area to run. Our home is one story and I work from home, so I’ll be with them the whole time!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I worked at the humane society, so I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, gentle care for senior dogs, or helping reinforce basic training. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time to be with your pet! I’m available on the weekends and Monday-Wednesday I own a home in Talmadge with a fully fenced yard, offering a safe and secure space for pets to play and relax. My quiet, secluded neighborhood is ideal for calm, enjoyable walks. I closely supervise all outdoor time and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine so they feel right at home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was a kid! Friends and family regularly trust me as their go to pet sitter when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I stay active with regular walks and runs and would love to bring your pup along for some extra exercise and fun! I currently work full-time, but have a pretty flexible work from home schedule. On days I work from home, I am able to provide full-time dog care. Days I go into the office, I am able to provide care from 6-7 am and then after 5 pm. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, and home care basics. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!

About: Your best friend will feel right at home at my place. My husband and I work from home and enjoy the company of “part time pets.” I love taking long walks with them or just hanging out in the couch if they’re low energy. ***I am currently helping an elderly couple about 4 hours, 2 days a week. Your furry friend will not be alone as my husband works from home, but I would like to let any future clients know this information*** I am an early bird and dogs give me the best reason to start my day with a morning walk. I also enjoy the fact that having a pet at home makes me a homebody. ***I am currently helping an elderly couple about 4 hours, 2 days a week. Your furry friend will not be alone as my husband works from home, but I would like to let any future clients know this information*** Once a week I may go out on a date with my husband, so I really appreciate it when pets are okay by themselves for 2-3 hours. I am currently not boarding dogs for more than 7 days. I have a fenced front yard now! I walk pets regularly and will also play fetch in front yard. If you prefer that I don’t walk them, please let me know. It would also be helpful to know if your pet lunges after things during walks.
About: My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, birds, rabbits, fish, reptiles, chickens, and pets with unique routines or care requirements. Having worked with many different species over the years, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's individual needs and personality.

I treat your home with care and provide regular updates so you can relax while you're away.
About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 15 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am finishing my RN-BSN, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with middle aged to older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medication's as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am a nurse working on my BSN (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repair, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.

“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“Maryjane did absolutely amazing with my pup! Constantly sending me videos and pictures with little notes on how everything is going!!!! Definitely put my mind at ease knowing she cared and he had 3 playmates at all time:)”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Anar took wonderful care of our dog Ace for a full 8 days during Christmas and the new year. She kept us updated daily with pictures and how he was doing. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“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!”
“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“We’ve been frequent flyers with Todd and Bill now for over a year. They have always been so welcoming of our little puppers and so loving with them. It’s scary leaving a furry friend behind so finding the right person to care for them like you would yourself is important. I love how happy my pups are when they come back from a pawcation😄they are so happy Zane tired. A tired dog.. is a happy dog.. very glad I found them!”
“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
“Samantha watched our Lab Shepherd mix, and our dog was in absolute heaven! She has a lot of anxiety, but Samantha did an amazing job following her routine and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated and gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“Marissa and her partner took amazing care of my Frenchie! I received daily updates, and it was clear he was having a great time. He came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
