“Ami watched my pup over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and took wonderful care of him! She sent me photos daily, and he looked happy and relaxed the whole time… thank you, Ami!”
“Marwa was great and sent pics for a daily update on how my dog was doing. She responded quick to my messages when I checked in which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Araceli did an amazing job with our dog Punky! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our dog's needs. Her home is also incredibly dog friendly--would definitely recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“We’ve booked Bill and Todd like a dozen times now and they’re so awesome. Highly recommend them, it’s worth the extra couple of dollars for piece of mind that our fur babies are in good hands.”
“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!”
“Whitney is amazing! This was the first time we've left our dog with someone we didn't know and she made us feel so comfortable with pictures and updates. Our dog is a diabetic and requires meals at a certain schedule and insulin shots. Whitney was there for his every need with enthusiasm. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“What a blessing it was for us to leave our Vito in Katelyn and Paul’s hands. Not only did he enjoy a relaxing little oasis in their yard, but he also got his beloved daily walks. We received adorable updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while being far away on a work trip. Thank you both for being such wonderful Rover partners — we’re truly grateful🙏🫶”
“Pilar was wonderful! She kept me updated when I asked about my dogs and she has a heart of gold! When I picked my dogs up they were happy! Pilar has a heart of gold! Highly recommend her!”
“Gwendolyn was great ambassador for Rover. This was my first experience using the service and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. Gwendolyn sent me daily updates, pictures included, was super capable, and is a kind & friendly person to boot. No complaints whatsoever! Because of my excellent experience with Gwendolyn, I plan to use Rover again.”
“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.”
“Damariz is amazing! A true dog lover. My dog had a fantastic stay with her. I felt my dog was safe the entire time and was able to take a vacation without any worries. Was able to get photo updates from her and Philipp was taken care of the entire time.”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Trent and his family took great care of our 2-year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. Our dog is very social and active, so it was great that they have 2 dogs of their own to play with and a great little dog park just a few yards away. Our dog was not crate-trained, so we also appreciated the flexibility they showed in boarding her. Pickup/dropoff and communication was great, including photos and videos. Thanks!”

“We’ve had sitters before, but never have we seen Buddy warming up to someone this quickly. He was literally demanding belly rubs from Sara the second day! Loki, of course, loved her from the start (he loves everyone), but it was especially heartwarming to see how relaxed and happy all three of our cats were while we were away. Even Lucy, who can be… let’s say, selectively social, tolerated her presence like a true diva. Sara clearly has a natural gift with animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry crew was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”
“Brenda was an excellent pet sitter looking after my cat doing drop in visit. They were prompt, followed all my instructions, and took such cute photos of my cat playing!”
“Tara did great caring for out sick cat. She listened and followed all our instructions perfectly and made sure our baby was well cared for while we were away. Would definitely book again.”
“Victoria was great! Quick/easy to communicate, check ins were on time and as discussed, and she seemed to take great care of my cat while I was gone! I will use her in the future.”

About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.
“Took great care of my cat for the 2 weeks I was gone. Kept in touch each drop in and was super easy to communicate with. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
About: Though I haven’t had a cat since I was young, I’ve taken care of cats of all different temperaments throughout my life. I know how to respect their space and read their body language well. I care about their health and safety and am very thorough in making sure their space stays clean.
“Adrian is simply the best. They took diligent care of my cat, provided quality photos and described my cat's mood and condition with each visit. I can't emphasize how nice it was to know Lila Bear was under such loving care. I think it is very advantageous to have a cat sitter who owns a cat themselves. Adrian has two. I highly recommend Adrian for your next sitter needs.”
About: I have been a cat owner and dog owner for the majority of my life. I have extra time now as I have just retired and would love to help you care for your pet when you are unavailable. I have a few enjoyable activities that I do each day, and would love to add caring for your SINGLE pet to my daily routine.

“It was my first time using Rover, and I was out of town for the Christmas holiday needing someone to check in on my cat. Callahan did a fantastic job! She cleaned his litter box, refreshed his water, and made sure he got lots of love and attention. She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and responsible throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”

Thank you so much Trisha for working with me, Roy was so happy and sleepy when he got home!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care.

About: Hi, I'm Luke! I live with my partner Elaheh, and we love dogs. Our beloved dog Lily recently crossed over the rainbow bridge, and we wanted to do Rover to share our love with other fur babies. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone waiting for attention. They get real company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They can be inside or outside as much as they (and you) would like, as well as go on walks or play catch. When Elaheh gets home from work, she loves to join us on an evening walk and snuggle up with your dog on our couch. We live in a quiet neighborhood in La Mesa with a fenced yard, so there's space to run, fetch, or just soak up the sun. We are comfortable with dogs that need extra exercise, medication, or just a calm, low-key day on the couch. Your dog is the priority here, and we will treat them like they are. Highlights: • Large, fenced in yard • Human companions in the home nearly all day • Dedicated couch space under the window that looks out on our street for people watching • "Glacier Springs" purified drinking water, free upon request I have a flexible WFH job so I'll have plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and couch hangs. I am available for boarding/dog sitting beyond just weekends. Since I am home most of the time, your dog can enjoy our back yard all day. I have a fenced-in yard for safe play time and live in a quiet neighborhood for longer walks. I provide photos and updates throughout the day (half my camera roll are puppy pics, lets be honest) and am quick to respond to messages.
“My dog, Bella, had an amazing time at Robert and Andrea’s house while I was at work. Indy, their sweet dog, was such a good host too! It was my first time doing “day care” and they made me feel so assured and provided updates as my pup settled in. They went out of their way to make us both feel comfortable. I will definitely be requesting to have them pet sit again!!”
“My puppy had another great day here! He was very excited to arrive to their house, and he came home very tired and slept a ton so I know he played hard.”
“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!”

“Tara is a top tier dog walker. She had so much patience with my shy, stranger-averse dog and took extra time to build trust. Tara left detailed rover cards for each walk and took plenty of photos.”
“Stephanie was great with Zoro. Stephanie communicated well each day and was flexible with the times. I would definitely rebook again with Stephanie. The last day after the walk was over, Zoro jumped into the car with Stephanie to go for another walk. Thank you, Stephanie!”

“I am so thrilled with Sara! My pups are high energy and she really put them to work on their walk and provided so many updates! She went above and beyond just the walk and I know they had a blast. Will be booking her again!!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.
About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way.

I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

“Ami watched my pup over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and took wonderful care of him! She sent me photos daily, and he looked happy and relaxed the whole time… thank you, Ami!”
“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“We’ve booked Bill and Todd like a dozen times now and they’re so awesome. Highly recommend them, it’s worth the extra couple of dollars for piece of mind that our fur babies are in good hands.”
“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!”
“What a blessing it was for us to leave our Vito in Katelyn and Paul’s hands. Not only did he enjoy a relaxing little oasis in their yard, but he also got his beloved daily walks. We received adorable updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while being far away on a work trip. Thank you both for being such wonderful Rover partners — we’re truly grateful🙏🫶”
“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.”
“Benny immediately gravitated towards Nick and we knew it was a good match. Nick expressed his love of dogs and it showed with the care he provided Benny. Nick was very attentive and kept us updated with Benny very frequently, providing pictures and videos of Benny enjoying his time with Nick. We also appreciated the feedback that Nick provided at the end of Benny's stay with Nick. Overall we are extremely happy with Nick and look forward to having Benny under his care in the future.”
“Trent and his family took great care of our 2-year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. Our dog is very social and active, so it was great that they have 2 dogs of their own to play with and a great little dog park just a few yards away. Our dog was not crate-trained, so we also appreciated the flexibility they showed in boarding her. Pickup/dropoff and communication was great, including photos and videos. Thanks!”
“Erika was a wonderful caretaker for my fur baby. She sent updates and pictures every single day. My dog looked so relaxed and happy at her place! I can tell he had a great time with her doggie too. I absolutely recommend Erika, and I’ll look no further when I travel again. Thank you so much Erika! 🌸🌸🌸”
“I have had my dog Percy for about a year in a half, he has had to wear diapers however ( male wraps) which has made it hard for me to find a sitter , So i went on Rover and found Anar, after our meet and greet she agreed to have Percy stay with her for two nights with no Problem at all. She attended percys special request with diapers as well as kept me comforted with pictures throughout the stay, he was walked, attended too and got a long with her Dogs. Anar was great and i will be requesting her again for Percy.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“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!”
“Shakyra did a great job taking care of Nemo! This was the first time Nemo had ever stayed away from me so Shakyra sent me lots of pictures to keep me at ease. I think this was much harder for me than Nemo! I would definitely book Shakyra again.”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Second time booking with Raquel and she is the best! Her whole setup is very professional from check in to pick up! I love that she is able to board many dogs and safely keep them separated if needed since my dog is unpredictable with others. I often worry when I leave him with sitters but I have no worries at all when he’s at Raquel’s! I know he is safe and loved. We plan to keep Raquel as our go-to sitter especially when our new baby comes in a few weeks :) since she can board many dogs there’s not as much anxiety that she won’t have space for him when we need her. All around best experience!”
“Jessica is amazing! She was quick to respond to our request and took amazing care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay.”
“Kylie and Anthony were fantastic! They took great care of my two pups, communicated promptly, and sent daily photo updates. I already look forward to having them watch my pups again in the future!”
