“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”

“I left my pup with Amalia & her family for a week - the longest I've been away from her since I got her. I was sent video updates while away- It was so comforting to see how well she was being taken care of & to see how much she loves running & rolling around in their back yard! Thank you for making her so happy!”

I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”

“I could not have asked for a better doggy sitter for my butter than Yam! She has a natural ability to connect with animals and it’s so obvious. She cared so well for my dog and it reassured me while I was on vacation. She is dependable and trustworthy. Would book her every time! Thank you!”

“McKenzie took great care of our cats, Pepper and Oscar, while we were away. She did drop-in visits, made sure they were fed and checked on, and kept us at ease the whole time. We came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had the opportunity to have cats as additions to our family. Sassie was a sweet Himalayan, Rocky a smart long hair, Max our only orange cat, and Peaches our calico. We have great memories with each of our cats.
About: I grew up always having two dogs and two cats in my household and love all animals. I currently have two dogs of my own and frequently care for family and friends cats while they are out of town. I have gained so much care experience through this and my own pets.
“Kristyn was great! Communication was great for 2 new cat moms who have never left their babies before haha! She sent photos, videos, and was overall good energy to be around... even my older cat allowed her to hold her for a bit (rare.) Next time we are in San Diego we hope to book again. Ps. Her chunky cat Malcom is also great and so relaxed. I'll miss you for now Malcom :')”

She always sent lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also paid close attention to details, like making sure the door was locked every time. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.
“Martha took the time to get to know our cats. They don't take to strangers easily but were comfortable enough to play with and get brushed by Martha. She was prompt, responsible, and provided lots of photos. We had no worries while we were away.”
“Nadia came to my rescue at the last minute when I had a funeral to go to in California. My other sitter canceled and she was free and offered to come and take care of my 3 cats. She was very capable and took very good care of them and my home. Everything was spic ‘n span when I got home and my happy little girls waiting to greet me. Nadia really loves taking care of animals and she took great care of mine!”
“Mari took exceptional care of our two young kittens while we were away! We were nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made us feel much better. She arranged a drop-in visit beforehand to meet the cats and asked all the right questions, which helped put our minds at ease. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and photos. We could tell our kittens were comfortable and in good hands. We even came home to a cleaner apartment than we left! Mari went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. We’d 100% book with her again. Thank you so much.”

About: Hi! I’m Kristina, a big dog lover who enjoys walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I’m reliable, friendly, and treat every pup like they’re my own. I make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tail-waggingly happy! Currently, I work part-time for myself at home. This makes me very flexible & available to help with your fur babies!

I can easily crate if desired as well.
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Todd & Bill have been amazing watching our 4 month old puppy Molly. Always reliable and sending updates during the day. Always feel safe with her in their hands. Highly recommend their care!!”
“Whitney was great! Ghost is home sleeping like a baby. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with Whitney, and we have a person we trust to take Ghost to when we need it. I appreciate the updates and communication.”
“Ben and Luke were great with Penny and she had such a great time with them! She had a blast playing with their 4 other fur babies. We'll definitely be a returning client. Thank you Ben and Luke for taking such great care of our baby.”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
About: Hi, I’m Emily - a life long dog lover who's had pups most of my life, including my sweet Pomeranian who lived to 19 years old. I work from home, so your dog will have constant companionship, lots of love, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe play and zoomies, and I truly treat every pup like part of the family. From walks to snuggles, I’m here to make your dog’s stay pawsitively great 🐾 I currently work from home so I'm available 24/7 to take care of your sweet pup. Because of my flexible schedule, I can easily adjust to your fur baby's unique needs. I am available Monday - Sundays for boarding at my home in La Mesa, CA. I have a fenced yard and a sweet Pomeranian to keep your dog(s) company. I can adjust to your furry friend's eating, walking and sleeping schedule. I'm here to ensure your dog is as happy as possible while you're away.
About: I have personally owned two dogs, a golden retriever and an Australian shepherd. Though our sweet golden made her way across the rainbow bridge after 15 years together, our Aussie is living in WA with her grandma and grand-paw, where she has a big yard to play in! I have always had no less than three kitties at one time, until moving to San Diego. I now have two Maine coons, Milo and Milly. I like to describe them as a sassy teenager and a toddler going through his terrible two’s, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Their spunky personalities are what attracted me to Rover. I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I recently left my career in finance to focus on raising my son and to spend more time with my family and two kitties. Because of this, I have the freedom and flexibility to make my own schedule and accommodate your pets’ schedules. My two year old and I take 2-3 walks a day and trips to the park throughout the week, but we’d love to be joined by your pup or to make a pit stop to see your kitty! Personally, I do not let my cats outside due to how many coyotes are nearby. We do have a fenced yard for doggies to run and play in. Our home is clean, with endless toys for them to play with!
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. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends :) I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
About: We are a fun family who adore bubbers and love to take care of animals. We have experiece with all behavior types, all pets are loved 😍 We have the perfect set up for your doggo! One adult works from home during the week so someone is always here to watch the animals. Our kids love dogs and we provide a family experience for your pet to be well-loved and taken care of. We have a backyard for the dogs to relax in the sun or run around. We do have a pool in the backyard also. We have 3 easy-going, medium sized adopted dogs, and they adore other dogs. If your dog needs to be crated and needs alone time during the day, we can certainly arrange for that too.
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
About: I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for dogs! I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.
About: I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care, making sure every pet feels comfortable and secure in my care. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, gentle handling, and extra attention. I’m comfortable giving medication, following special feeding routines, and keeping up with any training or house rules you have in place. What truly sets me apart is the care and attention I put into getting to know each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, and comfort cues so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize safety, clear communication, and dependable care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home. This allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Pets in my care are never left alone for long periods and receive consistent attention and supervision. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and house rules provided by the owner to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation based on their energy level and personality, along with quiet time for rest. Safety is always a priority, and I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for—just like they would at home.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and luckily WFH, so I can be with them all day and night! There is a big dog run across from my apartment and I am surrounded by grass and beautiful trails for nice long walks.My partner also works from home and he is second line of support! Your dog will always be walked, played with and cared for ! He will also do the heavy lifting for drop offs and pick ups I work from home a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to play, feed, and go for long walks with any kind of dog. On the weekends I am always flexible and I am usually a home body so if your dog needs attention, I am able to give it as much as it wants ! I am across from a dog run, and dog park if the owners allow the dog to go. I am surrounded by the mission trails and a lot of grass and greenery that if the dog needs the outdoors frequently I am able to take them out. If your dog loves to lounge and play, I am home all day to give it the attention it needs.
“I highly recommend Adam. He is an exceptional dog sitter. My dog was happy and tired when I picked her up and nearly dragged me up Adam's walkway when I dropped her off. Adam is great at communicating, always friendy, and extremely flexible. He has a large, fenced and secure yard which means your dog will play and have fun! Consider yourself lucky if Adam is the person caring for your dog.”

“Jane is absolutely fantastic, and if she’s available she’s the one you want to choose! She gives her undivided attention and care to my dog, and since my pup is older - Jane is mindful of her energy levels. She was also incredibly patient and understanding with my dog who tends to get nervous when I’m not around. I also 100% trust her - which makes a huge difference in “dropping in real quick” vs needing to be there to hand my dog off to her. BOOK HER SHE’S AMAZING! 😊”

“Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!”

I prefer to take care of your babies in their home because they’re most comfortable there. I have a dog as well & she is very calm. We take several trips a week to the dog park or dog beach.
“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“We hired Susanne to walk both of our dogs while we were out of town. Susanne was great! She sent us everyday pictures and updates. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hiring someone to play with your dog ensures they get essential physical exercise, mental stimulation, and vital socialization while you are busy. It prevents destructive behaviors caused by boredom and helps manage separation anxiety by breaking up their long day. I’m currently full time with the state agriculture department. (Exotic invasive) I love animals and enjoy getting to know pets and their parents and friends. I currently have a four year old miniature poodle that I walk two hours a day in the neighborhood or at the beach. During the day when I am at work she has free-rain of the house.
About: I have always loved dogs and cats. When I was nine years old I found 5 puppies under a shed - tragically their mother was deceased beside them. I carried them home to get them to a safe environment. I brought many lost dogs and cats home. They have a very special place in my heart. I am also American Red Cross CPR certified for dogs and cats. Your dog or cat is a very important member of your family !! I will do everything necessary to keep them safe in my care. I retired from nursing and teaching January 2026. I spend time with my grandchildren but looking to spend more time with dogs and/or cats. I have a flexible schedule. I have a friendly dog Noway and live in an apartment with my husband Mark. We also have a dog park close by. Noway is a gentle sweet dog. He loves people and dogs.
About: As a first-grade teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and a caring nature to every pet I meet. I understand that every dog is different and deserves personalized attention.

As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and am available before and after school, on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. Right now I am on summer break and am available a lot more in my mornings and early afternoons. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while they’re with me. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, offer playtime and companionship, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages. My goal is to give pets a fun, stress-free experience while giving their owners peace of mind.
About: I have always loved to take care of all animals from a young age. Growing up I was surrounded by all different types and different ages of animals which gave me the experience of how to handel and or know what to do for certain pets. I then continued to start pet sitting and dog walking which I have continued to do for about 6 years! I provide drop in visits and also dog walking! I do work part time so I have plenty of available time for my furry friends! My love and passion for animals is truly what I care for most. I want to share that with others so I can create dependable care, daily updates, and plenty of love for dogs and cats of all ages. They are your babies and I strive to live like they are my own when taking care of them. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part time and this allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I maintain a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I have spent many years taking care of dogs. I have watched the dogs of my friends parents and my neighbors. I have spent overnight with dogs and know how crucial it is for dogs to be cared properly. I know the extra importance of letting them out regularly to go to the bathroom, giving them their proper exercise, feeding them, and giving them lots of love!. In a way dogs are like humans! I love watching dogs because they are selfless animals and because no two dogs are truly alike. I have had the opportunity to walk multiple breeds of dogs including pit bulls! I think I am set apart from other sitters and walkers because I am very good at understanding the needs of different dogs and have handled dogs of many different sizes. I have had experience with dogs as small as chihuahuas and dogs as large as pit bulls. Dogs have their own personalities and experiences and should each be treated in a unique way. I do work full time at an Office in the Little Italy area. Depending on where you live I may be able to come let your dogs out during my lunch break and care for them for a short bit. After my work is done in the evening and during the weekends I am available for them full time. I feed the dogs, keep their water bowls full, let them out regularly (every hour) and pick up their poop. I also make sure to play with them as much as possible and give them lots of love and cuddles!

“My girl’s stay was amazing! I think they had a great time! They were greeted wonderfully and were able to relax and settle in and ended up having a great night. Madison sent pictures and made sure to update me along the way and was so friendly! I was nervous to leave them but I am so thankful I found such a wonderful place for them to go. Thank you!”
“Autumn is amazing and our dog Brida loved her! She agreed to watch Brida and when I needed to extend my stay she accepted the extension with zero hesitation! I would definitely recommend booking her.”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“AWESOME! They took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation! I loved the photos and video updates received! It was so nice to know that our dogs were having such a great time and being so well cared for! We will definitely book again!”
“I am new to this site and I was so happy with the experience of leaving my big boy with these guys. It was like an all day doggie day camp. Waldo played with dogs and had the space to relax and sleep if he wanted. I got daily photos and communication. He is completely exhausted- he must have had a good time! I will use them in the future. They are great!!!!! ”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Trent! He recently took care of my dog, Momo, and did an incredible job. I was so grateful for his communication he constantly kept us updated and sent plenty of photos, so we knew Momo was in great hands and having a good time. Trent is reliable, caring, and professional. We will absolutely be booking with him again! When we are back in San Diego!”
“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.”
“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”
“We had Whitney take care of our pup for five days while we were out of town. I really liked that she took time out of her day to do a meet and greet first to make sure it was a good fit. She's super prompt and professional with her communications and sent some great photos of our dog Dory so I felt she was happy and loved while we were gone : ) I would definitely take Dory back for dog sitting to Whitney in the future!!”
“We have been looking for a dog sitter for an upcoming long vacation, and found Tinsika’s experience impressive. We did and a meet and greet with Tinsika and her husband, and felt really positive about how they interacted with our dogs. Despite preparing for their own extended vacation, they were super accommodating and made room in their schedule to care for our boys for an overnight stay (prior to a longer stay). We provided detailed instructions, and they were followed as best as was possible. Our dogs were of course a little nervous for the first night, but when we went to pick them up we could tell they enjoyed spending time with Tinsika and Bob, nuzzling them as they do our own friends and family. We are relieved knowing our boys will be in great hands for a longer stay next time.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
