About: I am a dog person! Old, young, small, large! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 4 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: pugs, bulldogs, mastiffs, doodles, bernies, goldens, labs, and austrailian shepherds. I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs. Additionally, I am also available for reoccurring pet walking/let outs during lunch and after work. ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.
About: My experience started off with my very own dog when I was a child living in England, I learned from a young age how to take care of a dog and keep them happy. I moved to America 10 years ago and have since been providing dog walking, sitting and general care with several dogs continuously for this whole period. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged from golden doodles, Belgian Malinois and teacup terriers. After 10 years of experience with the same dogs, I am ready to branch out and help you and your dog! I work from home full-time which gives me a lot of flexibility in my available to spend time with your dog and for drop offs and pick ups. Besides an hour at the gym and an hour I walk a dog daily I will be able to provide your dog with all the love and attention they need. I like in apartment with a balcony so if your dog were to be staying at my home it would include having an indoor/outdoor area (the balcony is enclosed), I am also right next to a trail and the bay is less than a mile away so this would be where I would walk your dog. In your home, if you have a routine you would like me to stick to, I’m happy to do so!
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“Danny was awesome!! Very communicative, sent pics, and took such good care of Goose. He is a true dog lover and I felt so comfortable and safe with Goose in his care.”
“I am so thankful for the love and amazing care that Kelsey gave to my sweet dog. She clearly loves dogs, and treated him as her own. When I picked up my pup, he was so happy. I could tell he had a fantastic time. This dog mama is so thankful to have found an amazing dog sitter.”
“Chanel was absolutely amazing with our cat, made sure he was super comfortable and happy and he was! She definitely gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well taken care of!”
“Minhee and Minwoo are absolutely incredible! They watched my dog, Benny, and truly went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that they treated him like one of their own. He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Joe and Carol were wonderful! They are kind, caring and conscientious. It was so nice to receive the pictures and updates they sent throughout our vacation. I would highly recommend Joe and Carol. ”

“Debbie is a fantastic dog sitter! We booked her very last minute and she was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative and her dog, maverick, is a sweetheart too. Will happily book again.”
“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.”
“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!”

“If I could give Laynee 10 stars, I would! She was super responsive, came by early to meet Charlie, and was just such a delight. This was my first time using Rover, so I was worried having a stranger take care of my cat while I was away, but Laynee quelled all my fears. We will absolutely book her again, and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Lauren was an excellent cat/house sitter while I was away on a work trip! My cat Loki is very social and loves a lot of attention, so I really appreciated how present Lauren was with him, and how much she played with him! She sent me a lot of pictures, which kept my mind at ease while I was away. I will definitely rebook with Lauren again!”
About: Hi! I have two adopted cats and they’re my whole world. I love all cats and can often be spotted stopping on my walks to give stray cats some love. I will give your cats all the love, play and care they’re missing while you’re away. I will send you lots of photos and am very competent to follow specific instructions.
“Nick is fantastic! Right off the bat at our pre-care rundown meeting, Nick’s timeliness, energy, and true zeal for pet care were immediately evident. During my time away, Nick gave a call to report in and make sure everything was being completed as expected. I look forward to working with Nick again in my next trip away from home! Thank you again, Nick!!!”
“Kirra did a great job watching my cat! She was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked her for the wrong day and was able to come when I needed her anyway. I came home to a happy healthy cat and clean house. 5 out of 5 ⭐️”
“Haylee was great with all of my special requests, was responsive, and receptive and kind to my always unpredictable, sometimes rude little cat. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Micki (Marian is my legal name)! My husband and I own a dog-friendly home in OB with a secure yard. We have 2 gentle, dog-savvy kids, ages 5 and 6. I work from home, and someone is almost always around. We’ve had dogs most of our lives, have fostered several, and have 4+ years of experience house sitting through another platform. Reviews from the other platform are in my photos. We currently don’t have pets and host only one household at a time. We love dogs of all kinds and will treat yours like part of the family—whether they need long walks, medication, special care or diet, or just lots of love and attention! **I do not require meet and greets, but happy to do meet and greets either in person or over video. We’ve cared for high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, dogs with medical needs, and newly rescued pups. Having completed a dog training program through Noble Dogs, I’d be glad to help reinforce training while your pup is with us. You can expect clear communication and lots of photo updates while your pup is with us. Discounts available for longer stays or multiple dogs from the same household. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for multiple walks a day and plenty of one-on-one time with your pup. My husband commutes to Mira Mesa and usually handles morning drop-off at our kids’ school just a few blocks away, while I do afternoon pickup around 5 p.m. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and am happy to help with transportation if needed. My husband and I own a home in OB with a securely fenced yard, a dog door, and a fully dog-proofed space. We don’t use pesticides or keep any toxic plants, and our kids (ages 5 and 6) are well-trained in keeping gates and doors closed to keep pets safe. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and we secure the dog door whenever we’re not home. Inside, your dog will have free run of the house. They’re welcome to sleep in a crate (we have a large one available), in the living room, our bedroom, or on a dog bed - whatever matches your routine. For those with multiple pets, we can easily separate them at mealtimes or as needed for comfort and safety. We have easy street parking and can offer our driveway for drop-off and pickup if needed. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and leave your home exactly as I found it—clean and cared for. Depending on the length of the stay, I may need to bring the kids along, so please keep that in mind if requesting house sitting services.
About: Hi there, I’m Lauren! I have had pets going back to the time I was 6 years old when my family got our first cat and have been an animal lover ever since! I have adopted both cats and dogs over the years and would love the chance to take care of yours. Amongst my friends, I am known for my positive energy and aura that makes animals naturally gravitate towards me. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to adapt to your pets needs! I’m available most days of the week as long as I have advanced notice :) I’m very aware that different pets have different needs and can adjust to your pets lifestyle- ie. a puppy that has lots of energy or an elderly pet that may need to take it slow.
“Andrea was great taking care of my cat while out of town and even came over in advance to meet him and take a look at where everything would be! Thank you Andrea!”
About: I grew up on a small farm and have taken care of a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, etc… I love all animals and have a soft spot for taking care of seniors.

I approach all animals with love, so they are comfortable with me🙂
“Heather was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! She stopped by around the same time every other day while we were gone and provided needed attention for our young kitten! She cleaned the litter and even helped pickup after the cats! Would definitely recommend for your pet sitting needs and will book again in the future!”

“Alli cat sit for our energetic 1 year old cat while we were on a 3 week vacation. She was nice enough to do 2 pre-visits with us so we and our cat could meet her. We knew upon meeting her that she understood cat behaviors and is a “cat lady”. While we were gone, she visited our cat about the same time everyday and gave daily reports and pictures with each visit, which we absolutely loved. She shared what they did each day and we could tell she did her best to get my cat’s energy out each day like we asked. She also followed our wet and dry cat food routines and took care of the litter box. Overall, we were extremely happy with Ali’s services and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Emma really came through for us at the last minute. She was a great communicator. She took good care of our beloved cat, including administering medication twice daily. And we could tell he felt well cared for by his calm temperament when we returned. We look forward to booking Emma again.”

About: . I have experience and training in handling puppies, so I know how to give them the care they need during their early stages. Moreover, I am skilled in providing specialized care for senior pets, understanding their specific needs and ensuring their comfort. With my caring nature and ability to adapt to different situations, I am well-prepared to take care of pets of all ages. Whether it's training puppies or looking after older pets, I am dedicated to providing the best care and ensuring their happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I spend a lot of time at home and enjoy giving dogs a calm, structured environment during the day. We go on walks, visit the park, and have plenty of playtime and relaxation. My brother’s friendly dog is also in the home, so visiting dogs have a companion to keep them company. I keep the environment relaxed and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I provide comprehensive pet care services both in my own home and at my client's home, tailored to the specific needs of each pet and the service requested. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment, providing food, water, exercise, and playtime for pets. I follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owners to maintain consistency and familiarity. In the client's home, I adapt to the pet's surroundings, following the established routine and providing the same level of care, including feeding, exercise, and any necessary grooming. Whether it's pet sitting, dog walking, or other services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Rosa — a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom! I have years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities, from high-energy huskies to independent Shiba Inus. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether we’re out for a walk or they’re staying overnight. I’m attentive, responsible, and love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m already used to taking my own dogs on regular walks, so incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles with other pups fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, dogs enjoy a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes — so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same respect and attention I give my own. I make sure water bowls are always full, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their dogs and train. I’ve trained my dog by myself. Feed them, play with them, training daily, mental simulation daily, park visits, outside play time, beach visits, doggy dates, fetch, walks daily, plenty of toys, and snuggles!!! I have a fenced in backyard, a open area behind my house, my house is puppy proofed for my dog, I watch the doggos always, and make sure to treat every home like my own.
“Kathryn came across as a very confident and well versed for our puppy’s day with several other dogs for the first time! Our furboy is always exhausted (in a good way) and is very comfortable with Kathryn and other fur babies at her place. He’a learning how to socialize better with dogs during her trips to the dog parks and beaches. Definitely recommend Kathryn :)”
“Donovan was great with my fur baby. Very friendly and chill. He gave updates throughout the day which made me feel at ease with it being the first time using him.”
About: Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life. I am happy to take care of all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.
About: I've owned and trained dogs for 25+ years from pups to senior dogs. I work from home with my senior pup, Ollie. We both love pups of all ages and energy levels. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and that includes unlimited sofa and bed access ❤️ Your baby will be in the best hands and will never be lonely. I work from home and my senior pup never leaves my side. We're available everyday and anytime to watch your baby. I'll give them plenty of walks, love, and trips to get treats. They will be getting spoiled during their stay. Your pup will allowed to roam freely in my apartment like it was their home. I'll always be within arms reach and your pup will have full access to our sofa during the day and bed at night. If they're snugglers they're going to love their stay. Your pet's safety is our top priority and they will be in the best hands.
“Ilayda was wonderful, she agreed to care for our pup Daphne at the very last minute after another sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency, so we could go to the zoo safari park. Ilayda was prompt and responsive and sent me pics throughout the day. She was communicative and took Daphne out for a trail walk which she loves. I would definitely book with Ilayda again!”
“Very grateful Gwyneth was available on a super short notice! She’s friendly and easy to communicate with. I would book her again without hesitation. Thanks again for spending the day with Daisy!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love caring for and cuddling them. My teenage son wants to be a veterinarian and also loves researching pet breeds and their needs. I work from home and would love to have more pets to cuddle, walk and care for. We play with and cuddle the dogs as much as they would like. The cats are the boss - we leave the interaction up to them. We will play and cuddle if they want it - or just be nearby if they prefer. All pets are welcome to be on furniture and in beds - whatever makes them happy :) We live across the street from the San Diego Yacht Club so have a beautiful walking trail we can take dogs on walks on - and also have an outdoor seating area and balconies for both dogs and cats to sit in the sunshine with us. I am home full time now so have lots of time to devote to pets. They are my priority when here and my goal is to send them home well taken care of and happy. Our home is in a small community in Shelter Island with lots of space by the water for nice shady walks and also fenced in areas where the pets can sit outside with me and my family and enjoy the outdoors.
About: Hi there, I’m Eliza! I’ve been taking care of pets of all ages for about 10 years now, but I’m new to the Rover app! I pride myself on providing a safe space where you feel confident leaving your pet and enjoying your adventures worry-free. I’ve always had dogs growing up, and continued to get my puppy fill visiting my sisters’ houses in Denver. Being fairly new to San Diego, I’m looking for some furry friends to take care of and help make your pet sitting experience one you’ll want to come back to. Thanks! :) I currently work remotely full-time, so I’m home for most of the week. I do work eat coast hours so I’m able to get my responsibilities done in the morning and have my long-walk time blocked for the afternoon. It’s easy and efficient for me to leave my apartment so potty breaks throughout the day is not an issue. My lifestyle is already fit to care for a furry friend, so I’m looking forward to spending time with yours! Having a safe, trusting environment for myself and the doggo is key to an enjoyable experience for all. I’ll be sure your pet is looked after beyond expectations, and in exchange, I just ask for honesty on your pet’s behaviors. As long as we keep open lines of communication to ensure all feel comfortable and respectful of one another, I’ll be sure your pet looks forward to me returning as a sitter.

“Gabriel was great with our pup! He is a really good communicator, and I appreciate that he took the time to read our care instructions carefully. I also really appreciate that he was flexible and understanding with a last minute schedule change due to a calendar mistake on my end. Would absolutely recommend him.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have been a go-to for family and friends who need an experienced and trustworthy pet /house sitter. I work from home and get to spoil my pup with walks every few hours, tons of cuddle and play time, and love to provide a happy home for doggos who need it when away from their “pack”. I also have some training experience from a professional dog trainer! ☺️ I grew up with pets my whole life and safety is a high priority for me. I take precautions to make sure dogs are safe at all times because I know I would want the same for my own pup! ☺️ I work full-time but since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to spend time taking care of furry loved ones. I can do some weekdays and have more availability on weekends. I have an apartment in a safe community close to the beach where I can take dogs for walks. I have a small outdoor space and a poodle mix who loves to play with others. ❤️
About: An animal person since birth, I am my friends/families' go-to dog sitter, valuing safety, the details, and leaving the doggos with a smile on their face! Can't wait to meet you and care for yours! I am currently in graduate school and have lots of free time and energy to spend caring for animals, which is a passion of mine and an enriching experience for both parties! I live in a quiet and clean home in Ocean Beach with a large, fenced in backyard and many parks nearby. I have one dog so everything is safety proof for others too!
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a little girl. I frequently dog sit for my neighbors. I often host multiple dogs. I do not have a cat and do not pet sit for cats. I’m retired and first thing I do in the morning is walk to the beach and at sunset I take a walk along the cliffs. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep on the bed if they prefer. I have a fenced back yard where your pup can relax. I like to watch dogs at my house and can crate them if you wish.
About: Hi, I’m Rosa — a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom! I have years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities, from high-energy huskies to independent Shiba Inus. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether we’re out for a walk or they’re staying overnight. I’m attentive, responsible, and love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always know your furry friend is happy and in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m already used to taking my own dogs on regular walks, so incorporating walks, playtime, and cuddles with other pups fits seamlessly into my schedule. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, dogs enjoy a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes — so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and pets with the same respect and attention I give my own. I make sure water bowls are always full, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I grew up on a farm, and have been caring for animals my entire life. We always had several dogs and cats, etc. I’ve always felt comfortable in the presence of an animal, especially pupper dogs. My Aunt is a vet so I always went to her clinic to spend time with the animals who hadn’t yet found their one true home. I have experience in dog and house sitting, and can meet each dog’s individual needs whether it be a special routine they do or certain foods they eat. I believe all animals should be loved as much as they love their family, and I’m so excited to be working with dogs big and small alike!:) I just moved to town so I’m pretty free most mornings and days! I can do nights as well.

About: I am a dog person! Old, young, small, large! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 4 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: pugs, bulldogs, mastiffs, doodles, bernies, goldens, labs, and austrailian shepherds. I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs. Additionally, I am also available for reoccurring pet walking/let outs during lunch and after work. ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.
About: My experience started off with my very own dog when I was a child living in England, I learned from a young age how to take care of a dog and keep them happy. I moved to America 10 years ago and have since been providing dog walking, sitting and general care with several dogs continuously for this whole period. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged from golden doodles, Belgian Malinois and teacup terriers. After 10 years of experience with the same dogs, I am ready to branch out and help you and your dog! I work from home full-time which gives me a lot of flexibility in my available to spend time with your dog and for drop offs and pick ups. Besides an hour at the gym and an hour I walk a dog daily I will be able to provide your dog with all the love and attention they need. I like in apartment with a balcony so if your dog were to be staying at my home it would include having an indoor/outdoor area (the balcony is enclosed), I am also right next to a trail and the bay is less than a mile away so this would be where I would walk your dog. In your home, if you have a routine you would like me to stick to, I’m happy to do so!
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“Danny was awesome!! Very communicative, sent pics, and took such good care of Goose. He is a true dog lover and I felt so comfortable and safe with Goose in his care.”
“Minhee and Minwoo are absolutely incredible! They watched my dog, Benny, and truly went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that they treated him like one of their own. He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Debbie is a fantastic dog sitter! We booked her very last minute and she was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative and her dog, maverick, is a sweetheart too. Will happily book again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Julianna has been watching our 12 year old dog Louis while we go on weekend or long vacations and we love her! She is so good with Louis and you can tell he loves her and her dog Bodhi. They’re best of friends and we feel comfortable while we’re away knowing he’s getting lots of love and play time.”
“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.”
“Micki and her family were great with Zulu! They sent me updates everyday and it was clear they gave him lots of love and attention! Will definitely have them watch him in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a bit anxious. I'm so grateful we found Kimberly! She took great care of China and Rupert. I appreciated the constant communication from beginning to end. She asked lots of questions during our Meet & Greet that helped me know that she is a very experienced and conscientious sitter. I selected the pick-up/drop-off add-on which was a huge help in terms of one less thing to think about with my trip. Kimberly was very punctual even with the early and late times. She sent continual updates and photos during the stay, which helped me be at ease while I was traveling and it was great to not have to constantly be asking how the dogs are doing. There were a couple of items left at Kimberly's house afterwards and she was really great about following up and getting them back to us. My pups returned happy and tired, which I consider an all-around excellent review!”
“Ben was able to accommodate a last minute dog sitting emergency and we are truly thankful he got us out of our bind! He provided consistent updates and pictures of our little guy and was always very responsible. Thank you, Ben! :)”
“Rachel is by far the best sitter I’ve ever used. She sends great pictures and updates throughout the day and is very responsive. I never worry when I leave my pet with her because I know she takes such great care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Amazing!!!! They took such good care of my pup with lots of pictures :)) Linda LOVES winnie they are the cuttest twins!! The best dog parents when i had to be away!! Thank you thank you!!!”
About: Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life. I am happy to take care of all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.
