“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”
“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Yankee had an amazing time with Caroline! Both Caroline and her partner took care yankee as if he was one of their own. They sent daily pictures and updates and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my pup in their home. Lots of play time and walks!! They are for sure my number one choice and will use them in the future!!”
“Alex was outstanding! He was super communicative and attentive to our sassy Frenchie’s needs! He sent lots of photos and made our dog feel right at home. We highly recommend Alex!”
“Mariana was an outstanding sitter. She was very attentive and communicated great. My pup did not want to leave her side. I would highly recommend booking her for your fur baby.”
“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!”
“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“William, his wife, and their dog Roux were the PERFECT dog sitters for my girl Emma! I was instantly comfortable with them during the meet-and-greet. Emma was also immediately comfortable in their home. They were very focused on making sure they had all the information needed to make Emma's stay with them a positive experience. Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”
“Sam was very nice! He seemed like a very kind and genuine person. He was very good at sending multiple daily updates on how my pooches were doing, and he was very good at organizing pick up and drop off times. When dropping off my dogs we saw that he was very serious and organized in his process of dog sitting with our dogs meeting his dogs, and his dogs seemed very calm when sniffing at our dogs. It was nice that he had extra large dog crates so we didn't have to worry about bringing ours with us. It was clear to see in the pictures he sent us that our dogs were having a great and fun doggie vacation! Next time we are visiting San Diego from Los Angeles I will definitely look to book Sam again!”
“Michelle was wonderful patient flexible and took great care of of our dog who ended up having a special medical needs that arose that morning. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Second time booking with LeeAnn! I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my Zoey- she always takes such great care of her! Loved all the picture and video updates. Will book again for sure!”
“It was my first time having to use a dog sitter. I was really worried for my dog, but they were so great with him. They communicated with me and kept me updated with pictures. They were so sweet when I met them. I will be going to them again.”
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
“Alexis took excellent care of Dexter. She sent regular photo updates, and always replied quickly. Dexter was exercised regularly and clearly had a great time there. I’ll definitely rebook with Alexis next time I’m out of town”
“Teresa was an excellent sitter! We felt very comfortable with her from the time we reached out to set up a meet greet. She was very accommodating to our pups needs and sent plenty of photos and updates.”

About: I’m experienced with cats and understand their boundaries and body language. I keep litter boxes clean, refresh food and water, and provide calm playtime (or quiet company if your cat is shy). My cat is 17 years old. I love her a lot!
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🩵
“Kara's reintroduction to Athena after my girl, Sasha's passing went great. Kara was able to successfully walk my shy Athena with no issues. They also got some plank training exercises done! The photos Kara shared with me were reassuring all was going well. Athena and I look forward to seeing Kara in a couple of weeks! Kara, thank you!”

About: Walking dogs isn’t a job it’s a blessing. I have two friendly dogs and a rabbit that would love another friend. All pets are 3 years old and super friendly with animals and kids. I’m a student full time with a lot of free time. My schedule is pretty open 7 days a week. If I’m not available my roommate who also does Rover with me is available. I always have a good situational awareness indoors and outdoors. Any pet I’m with I’ll always have by my side to play with and to train.
“She was amazing with my cats and with my fish:) she made sure to send plenty of pictures with each visit and kept me updated as well. She’s also very friendly and kind and is very easy to talk to and communicate with. If you’re looking for a sitter for you animals don’t hesitate to contact Evelyn! She’s great:)”
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.
About: Whether your cat is shy/fearful, overstim, high energy, and or super confident, I meet your cat wherever their needs are! I aim to provide your cat a sense of safety, confidence, and love while you are away and have experience with cats of all ages, behavior, and medical needs. I have had the privilege of living with cats my whole life and have 7 years experience in working with cats, from neonates to seniors in a shelter environment. I can provide medication and additional care needs as well.
“Simren was amazing with my two dogs! She gave them extra attention and care when it was needed. She sent photos and a detailed description of their time. I highly recommend!!!”
“Kristianna was great with Athena. Athena LOVED her. Kristianna also sent me pictures every day and was really good with communication. Will definitely hire again!”

“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 both dogs and cats and I’m patient with seniors and shy pets. I can follow detailed routines, including medication reminders, slow walks, and gentle handling. I’m very careful about doors/leashes, keep things clean, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of time to spend and take care of pets. It makes my life more enjoyable Safety and trust come first for me. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and use leash control on every walk. I keep feeding/litter areas clean, avoid unsafe foods, and send photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Brian is the best! We are so lucky to have found him. He’s very sweet with our dog and we appreciate his kind heart and flexibility with our schedule and our lil guy Max. Wonderful sitter”
“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!!”
“Lynn is amazing! She has become my go to dog sitter! Millie absolutely loves her and is always so excited to spend time with her! I constantly feel confident that my baby is well taken care of and happy!”
“Janet is such a wonderful dog sitter! She is experienced with small dogs and small dog care (which is not always easy to find). My small young playful Pomeranian loved her and I could tell she felt at home and comfortable in Janet’s home. She is a great communicator, provided picture updates, updated the app details, and was on point with my dog’s care. The surrounding area around her apt is dog friendly and safe. I recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Shaghayegh was great with our dog Charlie! She sent us photos throughout the day, and Charlie appeared to have settled in very quickly. Our dog came back a tired and happy pup ☺️ thank you again!”
“Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you”
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.
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
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care and service I've received from Derek . Leaving my beloved dog in his care has been an absolute game-changer for me. Not only does he watch over my furry friend diligently throughout the day, but his own friendly dog provides endless companionship and playtime, which my dog adores. What truly sets Derek apart is his commitment to communication; he keeps me updated regularly with photos and messages, which offers tremendous peace of mind. I can see firsthand that my dog is not only well taken care of but also having a blast. It's evident that Derek is not just doing a job; he genuinely loves and cares for the dogs he watches. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to any pet owner who wants the absolute best for their furry family members.”
About: I have loved animals all my life and would take care of yours as if they were my own! I have had 4 dogs throughout my life, 3 were raised from puppies and 1 was a 2-year old rescue who is now 12 years old (and lives with my sister). I will follow all instructions given regarding food and medications. I allow pets on my couch and bed, but if you prefer them not to, just let me know! I live by myself in a two-level townhome with a small fenced-in yard. It's a great neighborhood for walks and also right next to the entrance to Tecolote Canyon Trailhead if your dog likes a more adventurous walk/run, I am always up for taking them there! Beginning in mid-August, I will be working from home so my schedule is very flexible during weekdays and weekends. Please advise if your pet is friendly with other dogs or if you prefer that they are the only pet in the household. I have a neat and clean home that is free of clutter so no need to worry about them getting into anything they shouldn't get into. I have a small fenced-in backyard. There's no grass, but some pets like to sunbathe on the patio area.
About: As a pet parent to a lovable St. Berdoodle, 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, from tiny lap dogs to giant breeds. 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.
“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!”
“LeeAnn and her tiny hotdog doggie took great care of my dog while I was visiting San Diego for a concert! She sent me pics of them playing and they took him for a walk and when I picked him up for the night he was so pooped he fell right asleep. Thanks so much for the updates and pics and great care!”

“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.”

About: My entire life I have loved all kinds of animals, and my family has had a dog since I was 6 and Guinea pigs before that! I've always been pretty active, so my favorite thing to do with my dog was walking her to the park! Two years ago I co-parented a golden retriever foster dog with my boyfriend, and it was a big responsibility but a year I will cherish forever. It taught me a lot about training dogs and patience, making me very confident in my ability to take care of any dog or other animal! It's summertime and I don't have much going on, so I have lots of time to board your pets for however long you need with lots of attention! I go on runs every morning so if your dog is high energy I can take them on those, as well as to the park/on another walk later in the day! If your pet is not as active as I am, they're welcome to lounge all day in our spacious house with all-day access to our fenced in backyard. I have a fenced backyard and back door they can go in and out of whenever they need! I have been boarding many dogs lately so your dog is likely to not be alone, but we can totally arrange for them to be here alone if they aren't the social type. I am able to cater to any kind of medicine, crating, or other needs you need. I'm extremely flexible and can do whatever you need me to do to make sure your pet is taken great care of! I am a recent grad of Cal Poly, and currently have a very open schedule to give your pup my full attention and be flexible with drop off and pick up times! I have a fenced backyard and plenty of indoor room too for your pup to roam. I am very active myself and can take your pup on as many walks or trips to the park as they would want! I can crate them and do absolutely anything else you or your fur baby would like to give them the best and most comfortable stay possible :)
About: I’ve grown up with my childhood dog for the past 15 years. She is quite honestly the light of my life and brings me so much joy. I have learned so much from her and would love to get to know your pet as well. I love getting to know different animals and their quirks and finding out what makes them the happiest! I have a very flexible work schedule which will allow me to spend time with your animal at whatever time is best for them! I am new to San Diego and see this as an opportunity to get to know the area better! I am home for most of the day, which means I am available to your animal whenever they need it. Depending on their routine, we can walk as often as every hour or a couple times a day.
“Honestly so happy that Jana was able to fit us in last minute. Moose loved her and I was glad I didn’t have to worry about him while I was at a work event. Would definitely recommend her to my friends who are pet parents in the area”
“For anyone who feels that their dog is less a pet and more a family member, Liz is the right fit for you. She treats our Lulu like she is a member of her own pack. She is reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very loving. Our dog gets so excited to see her. We’ve been extremely happy with her dog walking services and would highly recommend her.”
“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 have never lived life without a dog. I got my first puppy where I went through every single stage of raising and taking care of a dog. I also have further my experience by learning how to provide first aid to dogs and cats. I also have invested in my own pet insurance. Dogs know I love them. I will give you and your pet the best stress free experience. I work part time, so I have plenty of time to check on the babies. In my free time I spend time with my dog and other dogs. I have a great balance in giving the necessities of potty breaks, water, and food. However, I also provide walks, enrichment, and cuddles. I focus on not only making the stay comfortable for you and your dog, but enjoyable.
“It’s so hard to trust your (fur) baby in the care of someone else, but Alexis was amazing! I got into town late and had to work early the next day and Alexis was available on short notice, and I was so appreciative! She sent tons of photos and videos of her walk with my senior dog and wrote the sweetest report card. My little old guy was so happy when I came home from work ( I work 12 hour shifts), it was such a relief for me to know he was taken care of. She was so great I booked her immediately for the next day. Will be using her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’m currently mom to a 14-year-old pitbull named Cali—so I know firsthand the love (and responsibility!) that comes with caring for them. Over the years I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including volunteering at a golden retriever rescue and sanctuary, working as a Pet Care Specialist at PetSmart’s PetsHotel, and providing trusted sitting and boarding for friends and family. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior dogs who require patience, gentler walks, and sometimes medication or special diets. I focus on tailoring care to each dog’s unique personality and needs, whether that means exercise, training reinforcement, or simply extra cuddles. What sets me apart is a balance of professional experience and genuine love—I bring the reliability of a trained caregiver with the warmth of a lifelong pet owner. My flexible, work-from-home schedule also means I can give your dog the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I work from home, so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need and deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by closely monitoring pets, maintaining secure spaces, following routines, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. Special instructions are at the forefront of my mind and I’m mindful of any extra care your pet may need to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with reading body language and adjusting my approach to ensure that I’m respectful of any pet’s boundaries.
“Excellent dog walker. My Chihuahua mix, Ren, was super comfortable with Ricardo. I would definitely recommend Ricardo for anyone looking for a friendly and reliable dog walker.”
“Julie is awesome! She walked our dog 3x daily while we were out of town and we came home to a tired and happy pup. We met in advance and as a first-time rover user, I was really happy with how thorough she was, easy to work with and how she understood how to work together. She’s communicative and clearly cares about animals - I look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my house for as long as I can remember! I’ve helped train puppies and foster kittens that require a high level of care. I have previous experience pet sitting for multiple animals at once and I love getting to know new animals! I grew up with an English cream retriever and a Portuguese water dog who love to be outside. I’d love to take care of your pets 🐶🐾 I’m currently a graduate student who has class for 3 hours twice a week. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for pet care. I will create a safe and loving environment for your pets but being attentive and caring. I’m familiar with the area to walk pets in safe neighborhoods.

“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Yankee had an amazing time with Caroline! Both Caroline and her partner took care yankee as if he was one of their own. They sent daily pictures and updates and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my pup in their home. Lots of play time and walks!! They are for sure my number one choice and will use them in the future!!”
“William, his wife, and their dog Roux were the PERFECT dog sitters for my girl Emma! I was instantly comfortable with them during the meet-and-greet. Emma was also immediately comfortable in their home. They were very focused on making sure they had all the information needed to make Emma's stay with them a positive experience. Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”
“Sam was very nice! He seemed like a very kind and genuine person. He was very good at sending multiple daily updates on how my pooches were doing, and he was very good at organizing pick up and drop off times. When dropping off my dogs we saw that he was very serious and organized in his process of dog sitting with our dogs meeting his dogs, and his dogs seemed very calm when sniffing at our dogs. It was nice that he had extra large dog crates so we didn't have to worry about bringing ours with us. It was clear to see in the pictures he sent us that our dogs were having a great and fun doggie vacation! Next time we are visiting San Diego from Los Angeles I will definitely look to book Sam again!”

“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”

“Kona had his 5th or 6th stay with Jason. He was super attentive communicative and very great as usual letting me know and sending pics of what my boy was up to. The best thing is the care package I get everytime after his stay with treats and a toy! This time I got a picture in a frame and I can’t wait to hang it up! He’s honestly the best. Book with him!!”
