“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jocy was amazing with our pup, Bella. We had a great little meet and greet and she made sure our girl was right at home. She sent us notes to clarify her needs before the stay and she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. We would recommend Jocy to anyone!”
“Mariana took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was flexible and happily coordinated a complicated pickup and drop-off, making the process stress-free for us. Her communication was clear, she was easy to work with, and everything went smoothly. We really appreciate her help!”
“Araceli was great with my two corgis. She kept me updated throughout my time away with pictures and videos. My doggos had the best time and I plan to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“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!”
“Pamela took really good care of my pup (Sasha). Her dog (Xochilt) got along with her. And she never failed to send updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her!”
“These two are amazing! I was in a bind and needed my dogs watched last minute, and I am so glad these guys were available to step in. My dogs came home relaxed and happy! They clearly had a great time! Would definitely recommend!”
“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 :)”
“Caroline was Amazing! Sent photos of my dog very frequently and once I got him back he was super tired that he knocks out from running around all day and playing with rudder! Would definitely recommend to any dog owner that is questionable on leaving their dog with someone!”
“I cannot say enough great things about David, his home, his care. Daisy can be clingy and can struggle with being away from her mom's, but she thrived with Dave! Best part was he was able to spend the bulk of his time with them, so I feel this really helped Daisy adjust. Next time we travel, Dave will be our go-to!!”
“Jason was wonderful and showed great care for my dog, Sasha! From the moment we had our initial visit, I felt at ease (and Sasha instantly connected with him). Jason was incredibly adaptable to Sasha's specific needs, taking the time to understand her personality and routine. Throughout her stay, he sent me numerous photos and videos, which was such a relief and made me feel connected even when I was away. Above all, he sent us home with a special bag of treats, which, coming from someone in the hospitality industry, was such a delightful surprise. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for personalized care for their furry family members. Sasha and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”
“Alegra you are exceptional! Thank you for taking such great care of Cowboy! I could tell by the photos that he was having a great time hanging out with you. And the story about him herding the chickens was cracking us up!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two rescue beagles and 5 rescued cats. I do not currently work and can be home with your animals unless running short errands, and once someone enters our home they are family and will be treated like the spoiled royalty they are. I'm happy to send updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I do not currently work, so I have all the time in the world for your furry friend. The animals rule our house and are allowed on all furniture/beds so they will be very comfortable. I do walks in the early morning with my dogs, but could also do day time/evening walks if your pets need. We have a fenced in dog-run with 24/7 access through a 1-flap dog door. They can go in and out as they please, but the fences are only 3ft high in the dog run, so jumpers/runners might not be the best fit. We feed our dogs twice a day and cannot free-feed animals.
“Maya enjoyed her stay once again! Thanks for taking such great care of her and sending fun updates of her day while we were out of town. She can’t wait for her next visit!”
“Shelby took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She was reliable and communicative and I couldn’t be happier with his care. I got regular updates and came back to a happy and well cared for doggo. I definitely recommend her and would book again!!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Whitney was great, very communicative. I received lots of pictures of my little one out on walks and having fun. Absolutely wonderful and professional. Would recommend and will return!”

“Lynn did a spectacular job doing daily drop in visits to take care of 3 of my cats while I was away out of the country. One of my cat needed medical attention and she did wonderful giving oral medication to him. Would definitely recommend Lynn for any future pet needs. Thanks!”
About: Being around dogs since childhood, I'm very sensitive to their needs. As a prior dog owner myself, I've dealt with several situations, in working with dogs during rehab, caring for a dog with special needs and adapting to senior care. I have also taken care of dogs for friends and coworkers. For the time being, my services come as a package deal. Please only book if your dog is for certain comfortable with toddlers. My child has been exposed to different dogs, including larger dogs such as a lab, and he knows to be respectful and give them their space. There will be no tail pulling, taunting or any other form of bullying permitted while we are with your pet, as we are to be gentle with all animals. For shorter drop-ins or walks I can have my child secured in a hiking backpack. Currently, I/we are best available for weekend sits, though weekend or evening walks and check-ins are also available. We are also available for longer stays if your pet is used to you being at work during the week. We'd love the opportunity to get puppy love when when possible. First and foremost, I understand that every pet is different, with unique needs, temperaments and personalities. Some are just fine while their owner is away, while others may display anxious behavior during this time. It is my goal that no matter what they experience, that they be as comfortable as possible. Of course I would be mindful of what your pets are and are not allowed... in my own experience, I was never one to give my dog human treats unless it was a very special occasion, so I can be respectful and understanding of any rules specific to your preference for your dog(s). I am happy to take them outside, drive them to a nearby park if that is something you are comfortable with, I think communication when it comes to your loved one is key.
“Carmen was so wonderful with my cats! She took the time to play with them and really cuddle with them while I was out of town. I felt so much better knowing that they were taken care of by someone so considerate!”
About: Hello! My name is Oona and I provide dedicated, distraction free pet care tailored to your animal's unique routine. Since my current apartment building doesn't allow pets, I am using Rover purely for the joy of spending time with animals! I deeply miss having a furry companion around, so your pet will truly be treated like my own. I have over 20 years of pet care experience encompassing both high energy dogs and cats. Growing up, I raised and trained a Blue Heeler mix and a Golden Retriever/Gordon Setter mix, giving me deep expertise in handling large breeds with intense working, herding, and hunting instincts. I am highly skilled in leash control, behavior management, and providing the physical and mental stimulation active dogs need. In addition to dogs, I am incredibly comfortable with cats. I owned a house cat throughout college and for several years afterward, and I regularly provide drop in care and house sitting for friends' felines. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and am experienced with litter box maintenance, structured playtime, and feeding routines. Whether your pet is a high energy pup who needs a long walk or a shy cat who needs a patient companion, I provide a calm, distraction free environment tailored to their exact routine. My Specialty Skills: • Large & High Energy Dogs: Expert at managing strong, active, working breeds. • Feline Companion Care: Experienced with cat routines, boundaries, and playtime. • Leash Control and Safety: Confident handling strong pullers in busy environments. • Distraction Free Focus: Dedicated care with no resident kids or pets of my own. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I offer flexible pet care designed around evenings and weekends. Because my primary goal is to fill my free time with animal companionship, I am highly flexible and eager to fit into your pet's regular routine. My general availability is: • Weekdays (Monday–Friday): Available starting in the early evening for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting check-ins. • Weekends (Saturday–Sunday): Fully open with flexible, all-day availability for walking, drop-ins, or dedicated house sitting. • Overnight Stays: Happily available with prior notice so I can coordinate my schedule and give your home and pet my full focus. I am highly communicative and always respond quickly to help you plan your week! Your home and your pet are in safe, responsible hands. When house sitting, I treat your property with the utmost respect ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and your space is kept pristine. Because I do not have pets of my own right now, your animal will never face territorial behavior or stress from resident pets. My focus is 100% on them. During outdoor walks, I maintain a strict on-leash policy, avoid interactions with unknown dogs, and stay highly alert to the surrounding environment to prevent any risks. I am highly attentive to behavioral cues, respect feline boundaries, and maintain a clear emergency plan with a 24/7 veterinary clinic local to your area. I will always keep you updated with frequent photos and peace of mind messages throughout my visits!
About: I've cared for cats for friends and family over the years and understand that every cat has their own comfort level and routine. My goal is to make every visit as stress-free as possible by following their routine and giving them the care and attention they deserve. During each drop-in, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and attention (if they want it!). Whether your cat enjoys playing with toys, getting brushed, or simply having a calm companion while you're away, I'm happy to tailor each visit to their needs. A few things you can expect from me: 💛 Patient and attentive care 💛 Respect for your cat's routine and personality 💛 Feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning 💛 Playtime, enrichment, brushing, or quiet companionship 💛 Medication administration (if needed) 💛 Plenty of photo and video updates throughout my visits I treat every pet as if they were my own and want you to feel completely at ease knowing your cat is in caring, dependable hands. I can't wait to meet your feline friend!
“Madeline was so great taking care of my kitten. She left great notes and sent many pictures. She was always on time and stayed for the duration I requested and spent that time playing and cuddling with Boba! Highly recommend using Madeline!”
“Our dogs and cats loved Ravit! It made our trip so much nicer to know that they were getting great care. Ravit even figured out how to get our incredibly picky dog to eat!”
“This was my first time using Rover to care for my two dogs. Kara was very responsive and took good care of my dogs well I was away. The photos that Kara took and sent to me was reassuring since this was the first time that a non-family member/friend has cared for my dogs. The next time I need someone to care for my dogs I will request Kara!”
About: I approach kitties and give them attention based on what they are comfortable with. After years of owning cats, it’s become easy for me to read their body language and know when it’s appropriate to approach, pet and give them attention in other ways. Whether you have a bold, attention craving kitty, or a sensitive and more timid baby, I’d be delighted to check in on them and give them the attention they need🩵
About: As a fellow dog parent, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I care for every pup like they’re my own! With patience, love, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.
About: Certified dog trainer by the Japan Kennel Club with 20 years of experience. With a strong background in canine care and training, I served as a teaching assistant in dog trainer programs at a vocational school in Japan, where I managed a wide range of dogs. I also earned a certificate after completing the dog behaviorist program in Japan, which deepened my understanding of canine psychology and behavior. I am also a lifelong dog lover with personal experience raising dogs, including caring for senior dogs. This hands-on experience has given me a deeper appreciation for the emotional and physical needs of dogs at every stage of life. Since my availability as a dog walker may vary depending on the time and circumstances, I plan to update my schedule regularly. However, the usual schedule is Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00PM. I believe every dog deserves a walk that matches their needs. I thoughtfully choose safe paths based on their age and health, making sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Hollyanne & Donovan were great! They were very responsive and provided great care for my two cats! Will definitely be booking again! Thanks again! 😊”
About: I have a dog of my own. I treat them as if they are my kids. My dog is fed twice a day and given treats for tricks. I am home 4 days a week. The other days I work 12 hour shifts My dog is getting older: she is almost 12. I have fostered puppies all the way to senior dogs, and even the seniors tried to keep up with mine during play time. Pets are allowed on my furniture, so no issues here if they do. I'm used to administering meds to pups as my dog that passed away required daily medication. I have a large fenced in yard, with plenty of room to run and play. If you have any questions you would like answered, just let me know. I work full time as a nurse so I work 12 hour shifts. I usually won’t book on days I’m working as some dogs aren’t used to that schedule. If yours are, message me and we can work something out. My dogs are dog friendly, but getting older so they don’t want to play too much. I have a fenced in back yard. If your dog is kenneled during the day I have an extra kennel. Dog are allowed on furniture.

“Holly Anne and Donovan were such a great fit for us! Their home is absolutely perfect for doggy daycare. They welcomed in our puppy like he was one of their own. We received so many photos and updates throughout the day. Our puppy had so much fun staying with them! We are endlessly grateful.”
“Xochitl did an amazing job with our two pugs! Pugs are needy and she handled them brilliantly. She was patient and understanding even though they were more to handle than her usual dogs. I will book with her again, if she'll have us!”
“My precious PugZ took an immediate liking to Rachelle. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. I’d definitely have Rachelle care for PugZ again and highly recommend her services”
“Stephanie and Benjamin were great with Leo! He has separation anxiety and they were able to navigate it perfectly. They made him feel right at home. Gave him a walk, lots of pets and love! For a dog that is a bit timid, he acclimated immediately. I would highly rec them especially if you’re wanting your fur baby to be in an experienced but more importantly loving home!”

About: I've cared for dogs of all kinds for over 15 years. I've owned both high energy Aussies and small more needy chihuahuas and shih tzus, and also have fostered multiple dogs - from an older pitbull to a stubborn chow. I am able to accommodate any special needs your dog may have. Love to go on walks, give baths, and give lots of attention! I have experience with all types of Rover care (boarding, house sitting, dog walking, etc). I work remotely, so I am available for full time care. When I have to leave the house, I am usually only gone for 1-4 hours at a time. I primarily care for Rover dogs, but my husband helps out too when needed! We are both available for meet and greets. For house sitting, I am fully available to watch over your home and pup, and my husband takes care of our dog back home. I live with my husband in a two-story townhome in Linda Vista. We have plenty of space inside, plus a couple balconies and a patio with high walls that are great for doggie sunbathing. The neighborhood is very quiet and we have an end unit away from the street. Whether at my home or yours, I am happy to match your specific rules and routines when it comes to walking schedule, getting on furniture, feeding or training routines, crating, etc. We have one other dog in our home: our chow chow, Baozer. Baozer is 1yo and 60lbs, and while he is fine with other dogs once they get used to each other, he can come on strong and intimidate other dogs, especially small ones. He does best with large, friendly dogs. We always take time for the dogs to get used to each other slowly. Baozer likes to play, if he finds a friend, but 95% of his time is spent sleeping and leaving other dogs alone. We have gates within the house and are happy to keep the dogs separate throughout the stay, if necessary. We've dogsat large alpha dogs like german shepherds with Bao around, with no issues.
“Shaghayegh is absolutely fantastic! She treated my dog, like one of her own, sending regular updates with photos and always making sure he was well-exercised and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving care, and will definitely be using her again for future pet sitting needs.”
About: A lifelong dog lover with years of experience, especially caring for senior pups. While I specialize in small dogs, I also enjoy looking after cats and medium breeds. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I primarily care for small-breed dogs and always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention and care by keeping my home clutter free and boarding one pet at a time.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for more than 35 years, including Cocker Spaniels, Bulldogs, and Jack Russells. This has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I provide a calm, dependable home, am available throughout the day, and have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. I am home throughout the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for regular walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, attention, and quiet time. I can also follow each dog’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of supervision. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and routines. Our children are experienced around dogs and understand the importance of treating them gently and respectfully. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible.
“Zi and her family are absolutely wonderful and my pup LOVED his time there! She is quick to reply, and keeps me updated with pics throughout the day! He can’t wait for his next play date with Zi and her family! THANK YOU!”
“Laryssa took excellent care of our two older lady-pups. She was very sweet and attentive with the dogs and kept me updated throughout the day. I had a couple changes with my work schedule and she was very flexible and supportive of changing drop-off/ pick-up times. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs in my San Diego community for the past 10+ years, and every experience has deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love our pets bring into our lives. It’s truly the greatest lesson they teach us! Whether it’s a playful walk, a calming hike, or simply spending quality time together, I give every pet I care for the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m passionate about creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment for your furry friends. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to discuss how I can support you and your pets!

I get to know the pet, and build trust and connection through play, treats, walks, cuddles and spending quality time together. I love getting to know the owners and witness the beautiful connection you build together ❤️

“Colin is great with my big dog Mason, and Mason absolutely loves him. Colin ensured that he was safe and comfortable on his walk, since Mason is mostly used to being walked only by me. They had a great walk, and Mason came home a tired and happy pup.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with three dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also watched and cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. What sets me apart is how genuinely much I love animals and how seriously I take caring for them. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether that means sticking to their normal routine, giving them extra attention, or just being patient and calm with them, I want them to feel as at home as possible. As a graduate student, I’m responsible, dependable, and organized, and I bring that same mindset into pet care. I understand that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone, and I want owners to feel fully confident that their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs. I’m available all weekdays and weekends! I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I know every animal is different, so I try to make the experience as stress free as possible by keeping things consistent and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the owner’s home, and I always aim to keep things tidy and follow directions closely. My goal is to make pets feel safe and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their animal is in good hands.

If you prefer your dog(s) and our dog to be separated while unsupervised, we can happily accommodate this as well. Along with having a large wrap-around yard to play in, we will also take your pet on several daily walks, and even outdoor adventures if preferred! If your pet is staying in our home, we want not only you, but also you pet to feel safe and comfortable as well! And because of this, we only house one household at a time in our home. We have a sizable fenced in yard, and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. We can crate your dog if requested, we can leave them indoors, outdoors, or with access to both depending on your preference. We have plenty of space and adequate time to care for your pet, and meet all of their needs. Thank you for considering us to care for your furry family, we know how important they are to you!
“Lynn is a great dog walker and caregiver! She walks my boys on a regular basis and kept them at her house for a few days. The boys love Lynn and I trust her to take great care of them. Would recommend her to all dog lovers!”
About: I grew up with two amazing dogs that I walked, pet sat for, and eventually I began doing so for neighbors and friends as well. I’m currently a student doing remote research at USD - so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I am very attentive and careful when walking or taking care of your pets. I understand that this is a close member of your family that deserves to be treated as such.
“Very grateful to have found Catherine. She did an excellent job walking my 2 dogs who have different needs. Highly recommended in all ways - communication, trustworthiness, reliability, etc.”
About: I have many years of experience and I will provide the love and attention that your pet deserves. Taking good care of your animal is my top priority. I have open availability currently and I am also available for extended stays and daily visits. I will make your pets my number 1 priority. I can provide long walks, lots of pets, love, and attention. I can also clean up litter boxes, organize pet toys, give baths, and much more.
“Maddy did great with my dog. He is high anxiety and she made sure to follow all instructions and give him the care and time he needs. I will definitely book again!”
“Rosalinda is an incredible dog walker and has been so great with our energetic 9 month old golden retriever. She is responsive, friendly, and keeps us updated on how walks go. Highly recommend!”
“Ravit did walks with our dog Ada for a little over a week. She quickly bonded with Ada, who was excited to see her every day. Ravit was flexible when we wanted to change times or find extra times. She took great cute pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommend!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in and co-owning a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Building trust and making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy has always been my favorite part of the job. I currently offer dog walks in your neighborhood and drop-in visits. I will only accept up to TWO dogs at a time so I can give each pup the attention they deserve. While I love all animals, dogs have always been a huge part of my life and are the pets I'm most experienced and comfortable caring for. I am originally from the Hudson Valley in New York and just moved to California in early 2026. My boyfriend accepted a job as an airline pilot in San Diego which brought us to this amazing city. Working as a pet sitter is the perfect fit for our new, unpredictable scheduled life here in sunny SoCal and I am fully committed to making sure my history with caring for other people's dogs continues here flawlessly. That being said, I can't wait to meet your pups and you as well! I am available afternoons, 11-3pm. This may change in the future to accommodate more hours of the day. Please check my calendar for availability. I update the next month's schedule on the 23rd of each month. ☺️ I'm committed to continuing my education and am currently in the process of becoming certified in canine first aid and emergency care. These skills will be crucial in the event that anything medically related happens while your dog is in my care. I am also insured as a pet sitter/walker through Pet Care Insurance.
“Kara was an excellent sitter for my pups! Even though there was no time for us to actually meet in person she was very aware of all the instructions and was sure to make the best of it! She send me a bunch of pictures of my dogs and I could tell my dogs were happy and well taken care of when i arrive! I would definately recommend Kara! I will sure ask her for her help again in the future.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry is someone I trust completely with Luca. From the very beginning, she has been dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s a planned walk or last-minute help, I know Luca is safe, comfortable, and well cared for with her. Sherry keeps me updated and treats Luca like her own, which gives me total peace of mind. Knowing I can rely on her and trust her in my home with my dog means everything. I’m incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!!”
“My pup Oliver and I adore Sophia! She is so kind, caring, and loving and is so easy to work with! She is reliable, responsible and I know Ollie’s in the best care. He’s not the easiest dog but she is so patient and flexible with him! Highly highly recommend!”
About: Welcome To the Barbells Barkyard, where we have something for everyone! Whether your dog is crazy energetic or laid back and wants to snooooze, we are for you! we play often in the backyard but my 9 yr old also created a little oasis in his room for the dogs who prefer less space. we always make sure their comfort comes first! We have cared for animals our entire lives and have always known wanted to work with animals in some capacity so when we discovered rover, this became the perfect path for both my wife and i! We are both AVID animal lovers and treat each furbaby like family! we are both home full time and will seldomly leave them alone/if at all. We both know CPR and basic first aid for animals. A typical day will include lots of play time both inside and outside, enrichment activities (such as a ball pit, sniff spots, etc), water play time (if they feel so inclined :) ). we also provide treats- all 1 ingredient, healthy options so we do not upset their tummies, lots of bed options, allow them on the couches if you are okay with that, and all the toys they can dream of. we clean and sanitize the entire house daily and we ask for each client to be on flea meds to prevent any unwanted friends :) Our primary goal is to help the people of our community be able to have BOTH great loving top dollar care that you are confident in AND is affordable. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and make sure to send lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. I offer walks, drop-ins, and in-home care. I follow routines closely and keep owners updated with messages, pictures, and notes throughout the stay. Whether your pet wants snuggles on the couch or adventures outdoors, I’m happy to make their time enjoyable. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and part of the family. I follow their normal feeding and potty routines, provide regular walks/playtime, and make sure they have safe spaces to rest. I offer lots of supervision and affection, and I send photo updates throughout the day. Pets are treated with patience and respect, and their comfort always comes first. I’m happy to accommodate crates, specific schedules, and any special needs so they feel at home.

“Jocy was amazing with our pup, Bella. We had a great little meet and greet and she made sure our girl was right at home. She sent us notes to clarify her needs before the stay and she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. We would recommend Jocy to anyone!”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“Pamela took really good care of my pup (Sasha). Her dog (Xochilt) got along with her. And she never failed to send updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her!”
“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 :)”
“Caroline was Amazing! Sent photos of my dog very frequently and once I got him back he was super tired that he knocks out from running around all day and playing with rudder! Would definitely recommend to any dog owner that is questionable on leaving their dog with someone!”
“Jason was wonderful and showed great care for my dog, Sasha! From the moment we had our initial visit, I felt at ease (and Sasha instantly connected with him). Jason was incredibly adaptable to Sasha's specific needs, taking the time to understand her personality and routine. Throughout her stay, he sent me numerous photos and videos, which was such a relief and made me feel connected even when I was away. Above all, he sent us home with a special bag of treats, which, coming from someone in the hospitality industry, was such a delightful surprise. I highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for personalized care for their furry family members. Sasha and I are both looking forward to our next visit!”
“Alegra you are exceptional! Thank you for taking such great care of Cowboy! I could tell by the photos that he was having a great time hanging out with you. And the story about him herding the chickens was cracking us up!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two rescue beagles and 5 rescued cats. I do not currently work and can be home with your animals unless running short errands, and once someone enters our home they are family and will be treated like the spoiled royalty they are. I'm happy to send updates and pictures throughout their stay as well. I do not currently work, so I have all the time in the world for your furry friend. The animals rule our house and are allowed on all furniture/beds so they will be very comfortable. I do walks in the early morning with my dogs, but could also do day time/evening walks if your pets need. We have a fenced in dog-run with 24/7 access through a 1-flap dog door. They can go in and out as they please, but the fences are only 3ft high in the dog run, so jumpers/runners might not be the best fit. We feed our dogs twice a day and cannot free-feed animals.
“Shelby took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She was reliable and communicative and I couldn’t be happier with his care. I got regular updates and came back to a happy and well cared for doggo. I definitely recommend her and would book again!!”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Barley had a great time at Clint’s house! Clint takes great care in the way he sets up his house for the dogs to stay over. He sent many video updates to let me know how Barley was doing. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Gorilla on such short notice. He had the best time with your dogs and I could tell how comfortable he was with all of your photos/updates. Will rebook next time we’re out of town. Appreciate you for sharing your loving home with our fur pup. 💜”
“Thank you SOOO much for loving and caring for our Nipsey! It was such a great feeling knowing she was in good hands with you both! We appreciated the updates and photos and thank you for being so amazing!!!”
“Hana was great! She was super responsive and sent me photos and videos of my dog frequently. I’m so grateful that she took her for walks everyday. She also observed my dog’s personality really well. Would definitely book her again. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience. I came by and met LeeAnn about a week before Jax’s stay so he could get to know her and the house. The drop off and pick up was easy. Jax was happy there. Leeann was extremely nice.”
“Zi was awesome! She responds to communications promptly, has a really nice set up for the pups, and took great care of Ian for two days/nights. She was flexible with pick up time as I had a change in my work schedule on the pick up day. She's easy to work with and to talk to. Ian came home real good and tired and relaxed and seemed like he didn't miss me much at all!”
“Emmanuela was such a good sitter to our 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. We are new to San Diego and were anxious about leaving our baby with strangers. But when we met Emmanuela she reassured us we would receive updates and that he would go on plenty of walks with her and her boyfriend. This made us feel even better knowing he’d have a couple watching him like he usually does at home. Since moving from Texas, our boy has missed his balcony time and he got plenty at Emmanuela’s. We’ll be recommending her services”
