“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”
“Robin and Rahn took fabulous care of Mabel! She takes some time to warm up to people and they made her feel right at home and sent us several delightful updates. Would have Mabel stay with them again.”
“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.”
“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”

“Ashley took such great care of Buddy. She was super attentive with messaging and flexible with timing. And her pups are the cutest. I this my little man misses his new friends. Definitely will book again!”
About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day.

“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Elba has been the best dog-sitter I could have asked for. She and Miel got along so well! She had no issues with the schedule suggested and was happy to give Miel her allergy medication. They went on long walks, TV show marathons, squirrel looking, and even to a drive-in movie theater!! Elba updated me every morning and sent many beautiful pictures and videos of Miel that showed how happy she was. Would definitely ask her again if needed and would 100% recommend. :)”

“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!”
“Alena did a great job with taking care of our cat over a 4-day period. Even though he is a very shy cat (we could hardly get him out during her first meet & greet visit), he quickly warmed up to her. She performed all basic care well and showed him good attention with pets and brushes. She kept us well-informed with Rover cards and pictures of our kitty on a daily basis. She communicates timely, she responded to my messages in short time. Overall we were satisfied with her care of our cat and would highly recommend her.”
“Darya is fantastic with cats! Pepito is always well taken care of and happy when I get back. Darya communicates any issues very quickly, and makes sure Pepito has everything he needs while I’m away. She follows all the instructions for his care and send me cute photos with each visit :)”
About: I grew up with a Himalayan cat who lived to be 15, so caring for cats—especially seniors—has always been part of my life. I also spent five years caring for a rescue cat with ongoing health needs, which gave me hands-on experience with more attentive, specialized care. I’m comfortable looking after cats of all ages and needs, including multiple cats or kittens, and I’m reliable when it comes to following detailed care instructions.
“Maria is a responsible, kind person. She sent photo and video updates, let me know if there were any issues at our place (there weren’t), and our cat enjoyed making a new friend.”
“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. :)”
About: (español abajo) I’ve fostered, owns, and cared for kittens, cats, ferals, and senior cats of various special needs for the past 7 years.

Me encanta el proceso de ganar la confianza de los gatos y no veo la hora para conocer y cuidar su gato.

“It was a last minute booking - I recently moved to San Diego and had to go on a work trip and was nervous of leaving my fur baby. Petunia agreed to a meet and greet and I felt reassured that Zaya was in great hands! Never once did I worry about my cat! I’m so glad I found Petunia. It was my first booking with her and she exceeded all my expectations! She was very responsive, and always on time or early! Petunia even managed to get my cat to come out and hang out with her! Thank you!! ❤️”
“We never had to worry about how our kitties were doing on our 2 week long trip. I really appreciated the updates and pictures Aleksandra sent every day. You can tell she really loves animals and is trustworthy, responsible and goes above and beyond! I will definitely reach out to her in the future whenever we need an in-home cat sitter!”
“She was so accommodating on the time, my work schedule is constantly changing, and she sent me goofy pictures of my kitty Zoloft. I’m pretty sure he didn’t miss me at all while with Isabelle. She was awesome and I Will definitely be booking in the future. ☺️”
“I’m always hesitant to leave my kitties with anyone but Allison made sure they were both well loved while I was out of town with plenty of playtime and treat. Highly recommend if you’re needing someone to love your kitties as much as you do.”
About: I always grew up having hot cats and taking care of other people’s cats since I was a teenager. My best friend currently has four cats and whenever she’s out of town, I watched them making sure that they’re fed happy and loved and I’ll do the same for your cat!
“Nicholas did a great job caring for my cat while I was away! He showed a lot of care for her comfort and wellbeing, and great communication with me. It made me a lot less anxious and I really appreciate it.”
“I’m really thankful that we got in touch with such a wonderful sitter like Angela! She was very communicative and sent detailed updates, with a ton of photos. My cat is usually shy and a little sassy, but she opened up to Angela fairly quickly and was so affectionate towards her. I felt at ease during my trip and felt like Mimi was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Jarrod was awesome, he took care of my 19 year old sassy cat and gave her daily subcutaneous fluid injections. She’s not the most approachable cat but he was excellent with her. He was communicative, professional, and I felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. Will definitely book with him again!”

“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. Thank you!!!”

I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“Silke and Jerry were kind and very communicative. It's clear that they love dogs and they were able to understand and work with Amon's separation anxiety. They played with Amon a lot and I think a good time was had by all :).”
“Lara was great! She introduced chewy to so many dogs on their walk, and she said he did great. I’m so happy to hear her calm energy probably helped to socialize my pup. I will definitely call on Lara again in the future if I need dog sitting.”
“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!”
“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”

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
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”
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. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

“Kristen was great! We booked her to dog sit for the day while we were in San Diego on vacation. She was responsive, conveniently located, super friendly and we felt totally comfortable leaving Gulliver for the day. I highly recommend her services!”
“Hanna was awesome with my 2 barely 5mths old pups...high energy pups! Kobe is usually skidding and weary if other humans yet he took so quickly to Hanna and No a was ready to jump out of the car to greet her! They know great, positive energy. She kept me informed with pics and video which had me feeling at ease as well. Will be booking regular daycare sessions ;)”
“Odalis was the perfect sitter for my dog. She radiates trust and kindness and I felt that my pup would be taken care of. When my pup was in her care, she played fetch with her and introduced her to their dog Jasper and our dogs became quick friends. She has a nice large grassy area in front of her apartment. I love that she sent me a couple of photo updates of my baby. I look forward to having her be my Rover again in the future.”
“Michael and his wife cared for Goli like he was their own! Goli is high energy and can be a handful! They sent frequent pictures of Goli looking happy as can be! It felt like we sent Goli for a daycation? Definitely going to use their services again!?”

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!
“Darya is excellent. A great communicator, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I have a 80 LB black lab with tons of energy and I have full confidence in Darya’s ability to handle my pup. The best!”
“Petunia was simply wonderful, able to accommodate me last minute on a holiday weekend and very communicative and caring about my dog. She is what Sonoma dog parents need!!! ??”
“Jarrod went above and beyond. Everything was simple, and he was able to wrangle my 3 very different dogs (Pitt mix, jack russel mix, beagle) with no issues. I definitely recommend requesting him!”
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. Growing up we had several black labs, and a golden retriever. I love animals and I have lots of experience with puppies. I’m an active person so taking your dog on a long walk is no problem for me! I’ve dog sat all kinds of dogs including a senior German shepherd for the last 8 years. I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week. This means that when I’m watching your pet or walking your dog, my attention is able to be fully on them and I have availability throughout the week. I am very respectful of your space and treat it like it’s my own and try to leave it better than when I found it. That goes for your fur baby too!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have three years of professional experience working at a dog daycare facility. In that role, I’ve been trained in pack walks, structured solo walks, enrichment activities, and a wide range of services related to daycare and overnight care. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment for both dogs and their owners.

My passion is helping animals feel safe. On week days, I am available after 5pm and I am available all weekend. I enjoy giving dogs the amount of exercise and stimulation needed to help alleviate stress, loneliness and anxiety. Furthermore, I am more than qualified to clean litter boxes, feed your animals and provide a safe and reliable person within your home.

I have experience taking care of your animals in your home where there is minimal interruption in their daily routine, no matter how many special instructions need to be followed.

Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”

My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.
“Like so many, we had a little anxiety dropping our dog off for almost a week but Melissa was amazing. The regular updates and photos reassured us that we left her in good hands. I will only book with Melissa from here on out and highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”
“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!”
“Lisa is incredible! Not only is she super kind and helpful for drop off and picks ups but my pup is OBSESSED!! Lisa is so great about taking mango on tons of walks and socializing her with other dogs. Lisa is also great about keeping me informed with daily messages and pictures. I feel like I save her pictures as my background more often than my own! All in all, mango and I will always go to Lisa :)”
About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“Yasmine was a DELIGHT! I had peace that my precious dog was in safe hands and that help our trip more enjoyable. Our dog is low maintenance doesn’t need to be walked and low energy overall: so I appreciated her rates which I believe was fair for my dog.”
“Skadi loves Alexandria and her dogs! Her trust isn’t easily earned and it is awesome to see how comfortable she has been in the environment Alexandria has! Love knowing Skadi is getting the same amount of care and attention she gets at home and she will be happy to go back again”
“Murphy always has a great time with Zaira and Malik! Zaira sends so many updates and I can tell she really enjoys spending time with Murphy! Thanks for taking great care of her and showing her a good time!! Highly recommend them for your next trip!”
“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!”
