“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Phillip is one of the best dog sitters I’ve found on Rover! He is very attentive, follows care instructions, and was super accommodating to our booking and requests. Thanks for taking such great care of maya and keeping her so active during her visit!!”
“Rylee had another great stay with her fave babysitter, Ken. She gets so many walks and all the cuddles she needs. Ken expertly handles all her puppy energy and early morning wake ups. Rylee is looking forward to her next stay:)”
“Vanessa was able to watch my dog last minute, and took very good care of him! I was very happy with the amount of attention he got, and I felt that he was very well cared for. I would book with Vanessa again in the future!”
“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”
“Charlotte really enjoyed her time with Ashley! Ashley was communicative throughout, sending photos and updates every day. Thank you Ashley! I'm sure Charlotte will see you again!”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Madelyn was incredibly communicative and provided photo updates throughout our pup’s stay. It was our first time using Rover and she made it such a smooth experience from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”
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. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
“Alex was great! Sent updates and photos every day. When I picked up Millie she was torn between going home with me and going back with Alex. I say that's a great endorsement! Thank you Alex!”
“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.”
“Blake’s stay with Zannah & Doug was great! I really appreciated their communication, and all the small things to ensure Blake’s comfortability. Zannah’s passion and love for dogs has no bounds, and that is seen in the care they provide. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”

“Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.”
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.
“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand feline behavior and know how to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or requires extra patience and attention, I provide loving, gentle, and reliable care. I treat every cat like family and always make sure they feel comfortable, clean, fed, loved, and well cared for while you are away.
“Bree was absolutely amazing with drop-in visits for our 3 cats on a last minute notice. She did a great job caring for and loving our kitties. Bree consistently sent detailed meal time and potty updates throughout the day - this was the first time we have been able to enjoy ourselves fully on a vacation without worrying about our babies at home! We highly recommend Bree and will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Jarrod + Jackson = Bff’s! Jarrod was awesome and always kept great communication. He sent pictures and let me know what was going on. He even brought in my packages and when one was labeled perishable he even put it in the freezer for me. 100% recommended!”
About: Hi, my name is Jenna! I have cared for cats my entire life at home and have extensive experience pet sitting for cat owners as well. I am comfortable with all aspects of cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to adjust to their comfort level—whether that means engaging in play and interaction or giving them space when needed. I make sure each cat gets attention, enrichment, and care tailored to their needs. I am attentive to routines and details, and I always keep an eye out for any changes in behavior to ensure your cat stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline loved one(s)!
“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”
About: I had a Persian rescue cat growing up. I am very flexible and understand that different cats have different temperaments and will do my best to accommodate whatever your cat needs.

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! 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!

About: Dogs give us "2 paws up" for our slumber parties. :) Dogs are my cause. I've been nurturing and protecting them for 14 years. I've also learned from them and been protected by them ... because dogs are the best species on earth. I have a soft spot for senior, special-needs, and shy dogs. I’m a fiercely protective dog mom and dog Aunty whose beloved boy Django just passed away at 15. He was my heart dog and soul dog. Still is. He was a senior, arthritic, deaf dog with other special needs and health challenges. I dedicated my life to exceeding his needs whether emotional, mental, spiritual or physical, and whether about diet, lifestyle or environment. I became an integrative wellness practitioner for dogs so that I would be educated and prepared as Django went through different life stages. Some of his successes include overcoming separation anxiety, handling hearing impairment with grace, managing arthritis well, stopping tremors, beating liver disease, having agency about his time to die, and staying connected even now. I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 14 years, starting with Django (adopted then), his pals, neighbors’ dogs, and other clients. In New York City, I had a referral-based doggie B&B where I became Auntie to dozens and dozens of dogs through the years who would look forward to their sleepovers and playtime with Django. It was like sleepaway camp, but in a loving home. I’m new to this app, but I’ve done dog-sitting since moving to California as well as other pet care and animal wellness services - energy healing, animal communication, nutrition guidance, detox education, stress management support, and a digital course on holistic health for dogs. I’m certified in Reiki for animals, integrative health coaching, and am working on pet loss grief support services. I've also produced loads of events from dog birthday parties to celebrations of life, and from art exhibits to rock concerts and cultural festivals. With animal wellness coaching and my digital course, I’ve helped dog parents get clear on dietary, lifestyle and environmental choices for their dogs to optimize wellbeing and manage stress. Happy to share wellness tips and dog food resource guides I've created for clients. I’m an animal advocate and plan to foster dogs in need through TAP, Frosted Faces, and/or other rescues while I also volunteer at SD Humane Society. My husband is retired from FDNY EMS, and his first responder emergency medicine background has proven critically important with a few dogs in our care over the years. It’s a privilege to be with and care for animals. We are downtown near Seaport Village, lovely parks, and the waterfront in a mini-oasis of a community with our own lovely patio and HOA security. We would love to connect, meet your dogs, and have an opportunity to take care of them in our home. I'm currently working from home with my small animal wellness business beyond dog-sitting, and freelancing in event planning, so I have plenty of time to take care of your precious dogs. My husband and I welcome dogs throughout the house, including on our bed. We also have comfortable dog beds. Our large outdoor patio is a bonus in downtown San Diego, and it is enclosed with an artificial grass area for dogs if they need the relief between walks. We'd provide at least three walks per day as well. I always let dogs determine the pace as many walk more slowly than I would if walking alone. I'm always paying attention when walking dogs - not staring at my phone. I'm present and protective of the pups in my care. Healthy, delicious dog treats are plentiful here, though we believe in keeping dogs at ideal weights for their health. We will follow your lead and instructions when it comes to your dogs. There will always be filtered water available for the pups. At our home, you'll often find relaxing music on, nice natural light, and lots of comfortable spots for dogs to make themselves at home both inside and on our Zen patio. We keep our home at a comfortable temperature for the pups with fresh air flowing in, and we have AC or heat when needed. Toys are plentiful, but we can remove them if you're concerned about antlers or if your dog might be a chewaholic. We have kongs and puzzle feeders, too. I always give dogs extra attention at first - even if that means giving them space - so that they can acclimate to the new environment. When my dog Django was alive, he'd mentor the newcomers and show them the ropes. With few exceptions, the dogs adjusted quickly and saw our place as home away from home. I'm good at reading dogs' body language and understanding them on many levels, which includes determining if two dogs might need space from each other. We're fortunate to live in a community that welcomes dogs of all sizes and breed mixes. If you have a dog who needs to be the solo dog staying with us, that can often be arranged. We always want to discuss the dogs' needs, behavior, temperament, routine, likes and dislikes beforehand so that we can do our best to ensure a good fit. We like to have clients complete a client survey and a medical emergency form just to be prepared in the event of such an emergency if clients were unreachable.
“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.”
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).

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
“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!”
“Evan and Julia were absolutely wonderful with Lily, even on very short notice. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They were kind, professional, and clearly true dog lovers. They kept us updated throughout the day with photos and thoughtful notes, which we really appreciated and which made a big difference for us while we were away. Lily was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time — including walks, playtime, and great company. Their home setup and experience with dogs really show, and it worked out perfectly for our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust them with Lily again. Highly recommend Evan and Julia!”
“Camille was amazing. She took our booking last minute and was super flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times. She was so genuinely eager to hang with my dog and thanked me for trusting her with my pet. She provided pictures, videos, and details regarding bathroom breaks, water, walks, etc. and she made sure to let me know that my nervous, elderly pup was very comfortable and at ease during her stay. 11/10 recommend. Ty so much Camille!”

“Viktorija did an incredible job caring for my dog and two cats twice a day while I was out of state for thanksgiving. I cannot thank her enough! Definitely a wonderful pet sitter that anyone would be lucky to work with.”
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!
“Jarrod was really great with our big Anatolian shepherd, Rue this weekend. Rain or shine, he took Rue to the park and walked him twice a day while we were out of town. That's dedication! Thank you, Jarrod!”
“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!”

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

“Rylee had another great stay with her fave babysitter, Ken. She gets so many walks and all the cuddles she needs. Ken expertly handles all her puppy energy and early morning wake ups. Rylee is looking forward to her next stay:)”
“Vanessa was able to watch my dog last minute, and took very good care of him! I was very happy with the amount of attention he got, and I felt that he was very well cared for. I would book with Vanessa again in the future!”
“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”
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. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
“Blake’s stay with Zannah & Doug was great! I really appreciated their communication, and all the small things to ensure Blake’s comfortability. Zannah’s passion and love for dogs has no bounds, and that is seen in the care they provide. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Taylor & Sarah. They exceed all communication expectations and it was beyond evident in the photos they sent that our dog felt super comfortable and happy with them and Mango. As a rover sitter myself, I know what goes into caring for others dogs - we are so appreciative of their level of care, and they made us feel beyond comfortable while we were away :)”
“Melissa was the perfect pal for my fur baby Tootsie. I always travel with my dog so it was especially important to find someone that would give her the attention and love that she is used to and Melissa totally did. I got plenty of pictures to see how happy she was. Melissa took her along on dog friendly errands so I know she was rarely of ever alone. I'll definitely be using her again the next time I need a sitter. The comfort of knowing my dog is safe happy and also enjoyed by another person is priceless.”
“I would definitely be using Jessica for Future bookings. She's nice and pleasant soft spoken and gentle with my cats. Jessica sent such cute pictures of the cats to let me know how they were doing throughout the day. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a pet sitter”
“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”
“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!”
About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. 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.
“Pamela was outstanding. I was able to do a very early drop off in the morning as I had to go to Los Angeles for work plus, she accommodated on a very short notice. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”
