““We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog Lola! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands with Erion and Iris. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”

“We couldn't be happier to have found May! As is our mini Bernedoodle, Zoey, who clearly had THE best time while at May's house. May was absolutely wonderful in sending daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated seeing while out of the country, and it was easy to see just how well taken care of Zoey was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend May and we will for sure be back!”
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”

She’s a very shy girl but it seemed like she connected so well with Yue and she really does her best to make Koda comfortable. I appreciate her level of care and communication, as well as all of the updates! Will always book with Yue when possible (:”
“Alegra was absolutely amazing with Penny during her 6-night stay! Penny is a messy eater/drinker and also needs medicine twice a day, and Alegra handled everything with so much care and patience. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, which made me feel like Penny was truly loved and in great hands the entire time. Alegra is a genuinely nice person, incredibly attentive, and took the time to do a warm and welcoming meet-and-greet beforehand that immediately put us at ease. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I couldn’t recommend Alegra more and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Octavia was great! My dog seemed to really like her, and she sent me photos and kept me updated on how things were going.

I felt immediately comfortable in their home and so did my pups. They were great at explaining what Oreo's day would be like and I loved that they are experienced in providing medication to doggies because it made me feel at ease that they would take care of him as I would if I were home. I will definitely be back! Thank you again Rebecca and Raul, you two are the best. :)”

Even though my cat can be a little unpredictable, Janet handled everything like a pro and I never once worried about my cat when I was gone. Thanks Janet!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets.

About: I have always had a cat my entire life, and I currently have an amazing year and a half year old cat. I take care of her in college, balancing responsibilities and care my cat. I have taken care of her after surgery, when she was 6 weeks old, and am able to give the best care to any cat!
“Kristina is so amazing with my Frenchie Gus! She’s super communicative about how the walk went, and always super quick to respond. She always takes into consideration how hot it is with how far to walk. I love having her to help take care of Gus on days I work and he’s always happy as can be when I come home!”
“Lauryn is great! Very communicative and leaves great notes and takes lots of pictures which is so nice when I’m away. I’m very appreciative of her quick replies, would recommend!”
“Jack took such good care of my Maine Coons. He was super communicative, sent me lots of updates & photos, and made sure they were well set up with extra water when their fountain quit working. I came home to. Some very happy kitties!”
About: My family rescued a stray cat 7 years ago and have truly fell in love with it. My family doesn’t live near me so I go home to cat sit often when my parents have to go out of town. Our cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so I have experience with both sides. I truly love cats so much and really enjoy their company.
“Rachel was wonderful checking in on our cat throughout a long weekend when we were traveling! He loved her visits, and she took great care of him making sure he was comfortable by checking his food, litter, toys. We got thorough visit reposts and cute photos for each visit. We’re hopeful Rachel is available next time we need pet check ins, such a great experience!”
About: What started as helping out friends with their furry family members quickly turned into a true passion and four years later, I can't imagine doing anything else! What started as helping out friends with their furry family members quickly turned into a true passion and four years later, I can't imagine doing anything else. Cats especially have a special place in my heart. My highest compliment is when a cat decides to trust me, and it happens more than you'd think. If you know, you know. There's nothing better than earning the approval of a cat who "doesn't like strangers." I adjust completely to your cat's personality. Some want playtime and cuddles, some just want someone calm in the room and that's perfectly fine too. I never force anything and let them set the pace, which I think is exactly why they warm up to me. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits and general care all in your home. Cats are creatures of habit and I take that seriously. I stick to their routines, respect their space and make sure everything feels as normal as possible while you're away. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a hide-under-the-bed type, I've got them covered. Can't wait to meet your feline family!

“Kate provided a safe and comfortable home for our 2 pups while we explored San Diego. They were exhausted after playing all day. We will use Kate again when we need a dog sitter in the area.”
“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”
“Cali has such a great time with Jim. I can tell she really likes hanging out with him and he gives me updates in their outings. She is very happy with your routine visits. Thank you Jim!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I joined Rover because caring for pets brings me so much joy. I work a corporate job remotely which allows me a great deal of flexibility to care for your pets during my breaks. I can’t currently own a pet of my own due to my apartment’s regulations, so I can’t wait to give your pet all the love and care they deserve instead! My remote job allows for lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I am available for drop ins or walks sometime between 11am-2pm most days- perfect for owners who want to give their pets a break in the middle of the day! I am a direct communicator and will be happy to provide an abundance of updates as I care for your pet. I am also happy to provide playtime or assist with household chores as I care for your pets.

“Dylan was really fantastic with my pup! My pup gets a little anxiety when away from us, and Dylan was a star handling him! They went for a couple of walks, and my pup came away tired and happy. Will definitely use Dylan again next time we are in San Diego ?”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life and even helped my friend with her dog grooming business! I can also help with that, if needed. I’m currently figuring some things out so I figured I would help the community with their friends and make some extra money on the side! I live in a gated apartment building with a fenced patio. I’ve dog sat before in my own neighborhood and never had a negative experience.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my two dogs daily. I’m very familiar with structured routines, I’m used to long walks — sometimes up to two hours — including playtime and rest breaks as needed, always adapting to the dog’s energy level. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, always adapting to their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing safety and lots of affection. I currently work online and part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog, giving him attention, playtime, and exercise. At home, we usually go to bed early because we have a dog who wakes up very early and starts his day with his routine of going out to relieve himself. I have two friendly dogs who could keep your dog company. I'm also very close to the bay where I usually go with my dogs. I typically take a long walk in the mornings to Fiesta or around the area, depending on how my day is going. And I have several spaces in the house where your dog can rest peacefully after walks.
“Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!
“Octavia took such great care of our puppy, Bleu. This was our first time ever using this app and leaving him with someone else for care. We felt at ease as Octavia was so sweet and professional. She also sent us pictures periodically throughout the day which was perfect. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Yang came to the rescue! My husband and I were visiting La Jolla for an event over the weekend. He was VERY accommodating to our last minute request for a day care sitter that we needed in a pinch. He came to meet our two fur babies (one being a Newfie and the other being an Aussie-mix), then he scooped them up and took them back to his place for a few hours. Yang was very communicative with us and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend booking with Yang! Looking forward to using him again in the future.”
“Kari was absolutely amazing . It was my first time doing doggy day care and I couldn’t be happier . He had a great time and she is so friendly and responsive . Highly recommend .”
About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.
“Hazel had a great time with Kalie. She's usually nervous with new people but warmed up to Kalie right away and had a fun time staying with her while my family explored San Diego. Would recommend!”

“Sara was great for Ollie’s first walk with her! We had a meet and greet ahead of time which always makes me feel better. Ollie isn’t a big walker in the heat, but she made sure he at least got to potty and then spent time with him inside. He cried after she left and then slept until I got home from work, so I know he had a great time with her! I’ll be booking with Sara again anytime I can on the days that I work.”

About: Experience with dog care specifically has occurred throughout my entire life from raising my own puppy now to showing dogs as a child. I lived on a ranch ranging in care of small and large animals from quail, rabbits to horses and cows. I have worked with dogs that range in behavior and level of care. Currently, my schedule would have no impact by taking on the care of pets! Luckily for me I am able to commit a great amount of time to both sitting and walking pets during this time. I will be able to care for pets in clients home with care, responsibility and overall caution of your space and your pets space. I am able to follow instructions accurately and will provide updates, pictures and videos of your pets stay away.
About: I treat every dog like my own—patient, loving, and attentive to their unique needs. I have 10 years of experience and work with animals full time. I recently moved here and am fully focused on pet care. With no other job, your pet will have my full attention, time, and energy. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keeping their environment calm, clean, and familiar. I make sure they feel safe, fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and my ability to connect with dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. Dogs tend to feel comfortable around me quickly, and I’ve had a lot of success building trust with shy, anxious, and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience rescuing and rehabilitating dogs who came from difficult situations. Through consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience, I’ve helped fearful and reactive dogs grow into confident, well-behaved companions. Because of this experience, I am comfortable working with dogs who may need a little extra understanding, structure, or support. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, senior, or simply needs a reliable routine, I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel secure. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and personality, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and affection that helps them thrive. My goal is always for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while they’re in my hands. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, especially those who are anxious, reactive, or adjusting to a new environment. I make it a priority to maintain their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure, playtime, or simply relaxing with a calm companion, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. My top priority is creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where each pet feels secure and cared for. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and ensure dogs are always supervised and never placed in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals, especially with anxious or reactive dogs, and adjust my approach accordingly to keep them comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to maintain the dog’s normal routine as much as possible. I prioritize consistency with feeding, walking schedules, and training cues so pets feel secure even while their owners are away. My experience working with rescue and reactive dogs has taught me the importance of patience, calm energy, and clear boundaries. I aim to be a steady, reassuring presence so pets feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.
“Brandon did an excellent job taking care of Rusty during the holidays. He got lots of walks and attention. Given it was our first time using Rover, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Brandon handled everything very professionally, and I will now look to use Rover again in the future”
About: My love for animals started early. I raised two cats from kittens and had an adorable mini poodle-terrier mix for two years. I regularly walk and care for my partner’s two large dogs and two cats, and I’ve done overnight stays for a friend’s puppy. Most recently I’ve been attending puppy yoga, because honestly any excuse to be around animals is a good one! I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, with flexible morning and afternoon slots. I keep a consistent schedule so pets get reliable, timely care every visit. Since I come to you, my focus is making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home, where they’re happiest. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routes, or specific instructions. I treat every home with respect and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Sara was great with Brownie! She took great care of him and was very communicative. She also sent great pictures each visit. We were very happy with everything and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been dog sitting for at least twenty years now. I’ve always enjoyed it so much. I’m very fond of dogs and really any other animals. I’ve taken care of a range of dogs requiring all different types of attention. I’ve pretty much had a dog or several throughout my whole life and currently I don’t, so the dog sitting helps me get my dog fix. I love spending times with animals because they are so unconditionally loving and fun. I love to take them on adventures to the beach or in the mountains. I can also take care of other needs around the house, such as, watering plants, gathering mail, taking out the trash, and of course I will keep the house tidy, while you are away. Currently I am available full days to take care of your beloved pet/pets. I am new to the area and would love to be able to make some income doing something I love. I am very cautious and aware of my surroundings at all times and will be sure that your sweet animals will always be safe. I have a lot of experience with dogs and other pets and feel I sm very perceptive of animals in my care, people, and other animals.
“We love Celine! She’s great with Jack and always leaves lots of details about his walks. I know he loves her too bc sometimes she comes while I’m home and he is always SO excited to see her. She’s quick to answer any questions and always open to our last minute requests. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have owned and taken care of all kinds of dogs throughout my life! I have walked, dog sat, and fed for families before! One of my biggest loves in life in my dog Lilo, and probably your dog too. I am currently not working, as I am home for the summer from college so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most days of the week and weekends. In a clients home I like to honor the systems and rules that their household has in place. If that is making sure the dog is supervised, or taking extra precautions while taking walks, I try to ensure the environment is always safe and comfortable for the dog!
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I've been immersed in pet care since childhood. Growing up alongside three beloved labs and rescuing a stray cat seven years ago, I've honed my skills through countless neighborly pet sitting gigs and college life with roommates' furry friends. I specialize in providing tailored care to each individual unique pet and offer specialized attention to senior pets. I just graduated with my masters degree May 2024, and am in search of a job so I currently have a very flexible schedule and routine. I have a small outdoor area attached to my townhome which is gated in, but I live near Tempe Town Lake making it a nice area to walk. My home has a large living room/kitchen area with lots of space to play with pets!
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and understand how important routine, patience, and consistency are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I've taken care of neighbors, friends, and family children and dogs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and a gentle approach. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, and maintaining established routines. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility to provide attentive pet and house sitting. I’m a pharmacist who recently moved to California, and I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and highly responsible. I’m able to spend ample time in your home, maintain routines, care for your pets, and keep everything secure and well-maintained while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to be as present and attentive as you’d like, whether that’s throughout the day or overnight. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure, whether care takes place in my client’s home during pet or house sitting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, detail-oriented, and mindful of keeping the environment clean, calm, and safe so you can feel worry-free while you’re away. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident that both your pets and home are in good hands.
About: I have lived with furry friends my whole life, lending me years of firsthand experiences dealing with dog and cat ownership from little babies to senior animals and I am familiar with the special care needs that come with different age groups. In addition to dog and cat sitting for family I have several years of experience on Rover providing walking and house sitting care. Every animal has such a vibrant and unique personality and I can't wait to meet yours!
“Jack was awesome with our golden retriever. He came over to meet her before our first scheduled walk and she instantly liked him. He is reliable and friendly. Will definitely use him again in the future.”

““We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our dog Lola! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands with Erion and Iris. Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“This is the second time Errol has stayed with Clint. He takes excellent care of Errol genuinely cares for the dog in his care. Communication was excellent sent video’s daily and responded to texts quickly. I highly recommend Clint!!!!!!”
“Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!”
“Kate is amazing! She takes such great care of Lemon for both boarding and daycare. I love that she takes her to the beach on weekends and keeps her active and happy, whether it’s beach days or playing in her backyard. I always know Lemon is having fun and in great hands!”
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”
“Alegra was absolutely amazing with Penny during her 6-night stay! Penny is a messy eater/drinker and also needs medicine twice a day, and Alegra handled everything with so much care and patience. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, which made me feel like Penny was truly loved and in great hands the entire time. Alegra is a genuinely nice person, incredibly attentive, and took the time to do a warm and welcoming meet-and-greet beforehand that immediately put us at ease. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I couldn’t recommend Alegra more and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Caterina treated our dog very well! She kept us aware of all of the activities they did and ensured that our pup was well taken care of. She sent us pictures of him playing with her pets and he looked super happy! We will definitely book Caterina again in the future!”
“I left my dog with Misha for a last minute boarding, and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands! I got photos and my dog was so happy to stay with her.”
“This was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a bit anxious. I'm so grateful we found Kimberly! She took great care of China and Rupert. I appreciated the constant communication from beginning to end. She asked lots of questions during our Meet & Greet that helped me know that she is a very experienced and conscientious sitter. I selected the pick-up/drop-off add-on which was a huge help in terms of one less thing to think about with my trip. Kimberly was very punctual even with the early and late times. She sent continual updates and photos during the stay, which helped me be at ease while I was traveling and it was great to not have to constantly be asking how the dogs are doing. There were a couple of items left at Kimberly's house afterwards and she was really great about following up and getting them back to us. My pups returned happy and tired, which I consider an all-around excellent review!”
“Dylan was great with my puppy, Reagan. I needed a last-minute dog Sitter as my previous arrangement was unable to take her. Dylan was kind and accommodating. Each day, he sent cute photos and videos assuring me that my dog was well taken care of and loved in his care. I cannot recommend Dylan enough!”
“Antonio and Cynthia were ideal hosts for our older dogs, Snoop and Beegu! They were friendly and responsive. They made their home welcoming for the dogs. They sent regular photos so we felt connected even though we were away!”
“My dog has a difficult personality: he barks and is scared of strangers. Lucas was patient and loving with him- my dog warmed up to Lucas and had a great safe time. My dog had the companionship of some other dogs while I was away, and I was happy to know he was being well taken care of. Lucas was easy to communicate with and fast to respond. Would definitely recommend. ”
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
“Cleo seemed to enjoy her stay! Photos and videos were sent throughout the duration of her visit and both William and his partner were very kind and easy to communicate with! :)”
“Kim and Hailey were the perfect hosts for my Henry. They allowed us to stop by for a meet and greet and I could tell that they love what they do! They sent a number of pictures to let me know how he was doing He had such a good time that he passed out when we got home. I highly recommend they and will use their services again”
“Zach was amazing accommodating my dog Tokyo last minute. He made sure to keep her safe and comfortable even though she was anxious and unfortunately bite him on the hand. Zach was very communicative, assertive, experienced, and made sure Tokyo was fed and walked on her schedule. His dog Archie is cute, sweet, calm and playful. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and worry-less sitter. Thank you again Zach!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs all my life and even helped my friend with her dog grooming business! I can also help with that, if needed. I’m currently figuring some things out so I figured I would help the community with their friends and make some extra money on the side! I live in a gated apartment building with a fenced patio. I’ve dog sat before in my own neighborhood and never had a negative experience.
