“Savanah is wonderful with Bailey! He goes right to her and settles in. We know Bailey is safe and well cared for. And we had a little change in schedule, with Savanah being flexible and easy to work with. We hope to book her again soon!”
“Linda Jean is everything you could hope for in a Rover sitter. She took wonderful care of Lucy and gave detailed updates along with photos. Lucy was happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We’d love to have Linda Jean sit for us again.”
“Outstanding —she goes above and beyond by keeping me informed about my fur baby entire day. I truly appreciate the photos, texts, and constant communication that made me feel less anxious when I was away.”
“My dog is very shy and can get aggressive around other dogs because of her fear. She really enjoyed her stay at Cerita's house. She appeared to very comfortable there even with the other dogs. Cerita and her children were very welcoming.”
“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!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“Whitney always takes such good care of our Bentley. He’s been boarding with Whitney for 4 years now and we do not plan on going to anyone else to take care of our baby.”
“Ana was so helpful in caring for our dog last minute! We needed to board our dog with almost no notice and then I even booked the stay for one day short. Ana was so accommodating and treated our dog like family.”
“Susanne took great care of my dog! She was very kind and understanding of my dog’s needs, and my dog enjoyed his stay. I appreciated the regular pictures and updates that she sends. I definitely recommend booking with Susanne, and I’ll be sure to book again when needed!”
“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.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for pets all my life! I have frequently dog sat for friends, and I have owned dogs, cats, fish and my lovely horse Fenway. My home is centered around pet comfort and ease, especially for the puppies who get the zoomies! My schedule is super flexible! I have lots of time to make sure needs are met and your pet is well taken care of. No steps skipped in making sure your pet is happy and healthy. My home, just as your home will be, is kept neat, and is organized in such a way that caters to pet safety and comfort. Mental and physical stimulation is a great way to burn energy, and a tired pup is a calm one. I love playing with your furry friends for as long as needed to make nap time something they look forward to!
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“After a year, I booked Josh once again and I can say that he is the best. Milo, was a bit unsure since its been a while since he saw Josh but I knew he was in good hands. He is very communicative and will always be ready to send you pictures or videos of your fur baby.”
“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 have always left my golden pup Mochi with them and it has always been a good experience. He enjoys his time there. Comes back home happy and excited. They are our go to people. This time we dropped him for a week and his updates kept us happy throughout the trip.”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Eden was absolutely amazing! My puppy felt extremely at home with her and her dogs. She was so happy to have playmates and get the attention she needed. I loved the updates I would receive. They were extremely reassuring and it truly made me happy knowing she was in very good hands. Would 100% book with Eden again. For anyone thinking about it, do it! She will treat your dog like her own! 🥰”
“Another booking with Scott and Ping and this time a long 5 nights stay over the thanksgiving holiday. We received daily updates via photo and video, and our dog was well taken care of by Scott and Ping. She is now at home resting comfortably and already misses Rhino and Jasmine (and Scott and Ping too)”

“Jane was an incredible sitter for our kitties who were on their own for the first time. She took the time to come over before our trip so she could meet our cats who are scared around new people. She was very interactive during her visits, sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our shy cat waffle even warmed up to her and came out to see her. Could not recommend Jane enough!”
“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!”
“I had such a great experience with her! My cat can be a little particular with new people, but she warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all my instructions carefully, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was done properly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine understanding of animals to every visit. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I worked with pets of all temperaments, and I’m also a pet owner myself with both a dog and a cat—so I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and multi-pet households, and I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very structured and disciplined. As a Division 1 athlete, I train almost twice a day, which has taught me strong time management, consistency, and reliability qualities I bring into every pet sitting job. Outside of training, I make time for my family and friends, but I keep my schedule flexible and plan ahead so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m able to adapt and provide dependable, consistent support for both pets and their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on a routine that feels familiar to them. In my home, I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention based on each pet’s energy level and personality. I’m mindful of introductions and space, especially since I have both a dog and a cat, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“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.”
“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 :')”
“Lissette took great care of my 2 cats. They are very shy and good at hiding but she still managed to send us lots of pictures when she could find them. Very communicative and reliable!”
About: I’ve spent years loving cats of all personalities, including my own two: Cutie, my clever 7-year-old orange tabby who keeps me on my toes with his talent for sneaking snacks off the counter, and Tiny, my sweet 2-year-old gray and white tuxedo who loves nothing more than burrowing under the covers for a cozy nap. Living with them has taught me how unique every cat is, from playful mischief to quiet cuddle time, and I bring that same patience, attention, and genuine adoration to every cat I care for.
“Maureen is an exceptional cat whisperer! She demonstrated an impressive attention to detail in caring for my beloved feline friend. Throughout my trip, I was delighted to receive numerous photos of them enjoying their time together, which truly put my mind at ease. Thanks to her, I could fully concentrate on my activities without a moment of worry.”
“Stefanie took amazing care of our 2 fur babies. I love that she got on their level and played with them! Our cats were well loved while we went on vacation for a week. Highly recommend and we will be returning customers!! Thank you Stefanie.”

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: 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 am available for day time visits and overnight stays at my home. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and play in. I have two friendly doodles to keep your baby company too. 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! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”

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 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.
About: Growing up, I had many dogs that I took care of, big and small. I've been "professionally" watching dogs for about a year now, and I love it. I currently stay home full time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I am prepared to exercise them, feed them, and of course, cuddle them! I do not have a fenced yard, but I have access to dog parks, trails, and quiet neighborhoods to exercise your pups! I can crate them if needed as well.
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.

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.

“Incredibly kind people and flexible. They have a few dogs that my 4 month old puppy played with. When I got home she went to sleep right away so it seemed like she had plenty of fun! Thanks guys. I will be coming back for your help!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our dog Ziggy loves going to Josh's! Josh has a perfect outdoor and indoor set up and gives Zig lots of attention and love while he's there. Ziggy always comes back super happy.”
“These guys are the best! Our first time dropping our pup off with “strangers” and we were immediately set at ease when we started to receive videos of our little guy playing with his new buddies. Highly recommend.”
“Adam has been great! He watched our dogs for the day on short notice and has been very flexible. He is very pleasant to work with and has a nice home and yard set up for our dogs to hang out during the day. He also took our dogs on a walk and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to use him for our pups when we need a safe and loving home when we are away.”

“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!”
“Jane was amazing. She responded quickly to my messages and was able to accommodate my short notice booking. She was also very sweet and drove my dog to the next neighborhood over to walk him because my neighborhood is not walkable!”
“Nadia has been great at communicating. She uses the most of their time on their walks, rain or shine. And she goes the extra mile (e.g. offering to wipe their paws after walks).”
About: I love all cats. From skittish to playful. I have cat sat in home for friends. I’ve also boarded a cat for friend for a month while he traveled. I’m currently have a flexible schedule for cat sitting. I have two of my own cats. They’re 7 years old & littermates. They have done multiple cross-country trips with me. 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.
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.
“María has been really patient with my girls. Tessa gets very anxious and barks and María met with us twice to allow her time to warm up. María is excellent with updates and we look forward to having her stay with the girls overnight.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!

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: I've been around cats since I was born, and there has always been a cat in my family. Now, I have my own cat named Sia. I make sure to respect a cat's space and avoid bothering them if they're not interested. However, I'm always open to giving hugs and pets if they seek it. I’m self-employed photographer. Mostly I work at home editing photos. So it is a pleasure to get out of home for some time to see new pets. My cat is chill and she usually doesn’t like to be pet and I’m not forcing until she asks for it. She sleeps with me in the bed , however she is grumpy at morning time and always wants to sleep in. Also we always play together hide and seek and just with her toys. I tried to go out with her once she isn’t big fan of it so we decided to keep it chill and be just at home.
“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!”
About: Hi, fellow pet parents! I work in education and content creation with my Jack Russel/Shih Tzu cuddlebug Lola at my side. I have had dogs from a young age and have experience petsitting for nearly 20 years. While I have my one dog, I also live with 2 cats and have lived on-and-off with different combos of furbabies for many years. My petsitting experience includes dog walking, feeding, housesitting while taking care of dogs and cats, and caring for dogs of all ages from puppy to old soul. I can't wait to meet your fur babies and give them FUN, love, and care! I currently work freelance/private contracting jobs, so with notice, I am available any day of the week, any time to play with, care for, and make your pet(s) feel at home. I currently live with housemates and have my own dog, Lola, a jack russell/shih tzu mix, who loves a buddy to play with. I can easily housesit and petsit in your home, with or without my dog present. At present, I do not house pets in my own home, aside from my own, with few exceptions that could be discussed beforehand.
“I am so thankful for Suzanne for doing such an awesome job walking my little buddy the last few days while I was at work. She is friendly and reliable and Bruin loves her. He was so happy when I came home at the end of the day on the days she walked him!”

My home, just as your home will be, is kept neat, and is organized in such a way that caters to pet safety and comfort. Mental and physical stimulation is a great way to burn energy, and a tired pup is a calm one. I love playing with your furry friends for as long as needed to make nap time something they look forward to!
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“I have always left my golden pup Mochi with them and it has always been a good experience. He enjoys his time there. Comes back home happy and excited. They are our go to people. This time we dropped him for a week and his updates kept us happy throughout the trip.”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Marissa and her partner took amazing care of my Frenchie! I received daily updates, and it was clear he was having a great time. He came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“very happy with the boarding we had with Alyssa. She was the perfect amount of communicative and sent photos daily with how my dog was doing. I know my dog had a great time as well since she knocked out as soon as she got home from all the fun she had”
“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”
“I can't recommend Jason highly enough for dog boarding! My dog, Nova, stayed with him and his lovely family for two weeks, and I was genuinely impressed. I received regular updates, complete with pictures and videos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Not only did Jason provide excellent care, but he also took the time to do some training with Nova, which I appreciate immensely. As a thoughtful touch, he even gave Nova some gifts and a gift card, showing his kindness and dedication. Thank you, Jason, for taking such great care of my baby. Nova had a fantastic time, and I’ll definitely bring him back!”
“Chow chow had the best time with Anna and Abby!!! They did such a good job sending photos and taking care of him! Definitely will be rebooking for the 3rd time with them in the future :)”

“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
