“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Alice & Micah were absolutely the best! Our dog was so happy and comfortable with them. They provided a safe, friendly, and loving home for him. Alice sent me daily updates with pictures. I am very happy and look forward to using them again. They are wonderful.”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“Cannot say enough great things about how these two wonderful people treating our aging pup. Flawless communication, endless love and attention! I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Dahui was great. Sent photos including one right away which helped this nervous pet mom who had never left her senior dog with three kinds of medication overnight before. She gave a detailed report when I returned and was able to manage both Guimaux's pills and eye drops.”
“Nikki was great with Harley, I had a meet and greet with her before. She has two great and very friendly dogs. I felt safe leaving Harley with her and she took the most amazing pictures of him.”
“Maya was amazing! She sent pictures, communicated regularly, and calmed all nerves (both mine and my dog’s) for leaving my dog with her for a week. We’ve already rebooked with her!”
About: For my family and me, caring for dogs isn’t a job—it’s a passion. I naturally build deep connections with my furry guests, filling their days with abundant love, hugs, and long, joyful walks. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to what your dog needs most right now. If you have a young puppy, I provide the structured care, patience, and positive reinforcement training they need to thrive. If you have a senior dog, I bring a gentle touch, ensuring their medical routines, physical limitations, and need for a peaceful rest are fully respected. Your dog will be loved, active, and expertly cared for every single minute. As a stay-at-home homemaker, my schedule is incredibly flexible, which means pet care doesn't just fit into my routine—it becomes the highlight of my day. Since I am at home most of the time, your dog will never be left alone or ignored. From morning walks to afternoon playtime and cozy evening rests, your pup becomes my ultimate companion and best friend. I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they get constant attention, timely meals, and plenty of outdoor time. Having a dog around brings me so much joy, so caring for them feels completely natural and fills my home with happiness. I provide pet care exclusively in my home, which is tailored to be a safe, stress-free haven for your dog. I live in a secure, gated community, offering a quiet and highly protected environment for my daily walks. My house features a spacious, fully fenced backyard, giving your dog plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely under my constant supervision. Safety is my absolute top priority. I ensure that all gates are securely locked at all times, and I never leave dogs unattended outdoors. Inside the home, your pet will have full freedom to lounge and rest in a comfortable, hazard-free space, treated just like a member of my family. I would like to clarify that I will be the sole caretaker and no one else will be assisting me with pet care.
“May is definitely my new pet sitter. She was accommodating and flexible and went thr extra mile to help me (in a pinch). I have a sensitive pup and I can tell when he came home he had been having a good time. Happy pup. She even dropped my lil guy off for me because i was stuck in a work meeting. Very friendly dog loving people. Thanks May! Will definitely use again.”
“Annie, Ty and their daughters took wonderful care of my dog. They asked lots of questions about his care and routine and provided regular updates and photos of him while he was with them. He came home happy and relaxed after his time in their home.”
“Christopher was great with our dog Ollie!! He took him on multiple hikes and even to the Beach!! I think this was the first time we picked up Ollie and he was tired from all the exercise he got. Christopher sent us lots of pictures of their adventures and kept us up to date! Our flight got delayed, and Christopher was very understanding with our delayed pick up time. Overall a great experience for both Ollie and us!! Would highly recommend!!”
“Marie was so kind to meet our puppy before we booked. She sent us photos of our dog during her stay and Eevee was very well taken care of with toys and fun!”
“I highly recommend Gelare. The communication was excellent, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. I truly appreciate her attention to details. Our dog was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone responsible and loving, Gelare is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking her again the future. She is the best!”
“I contacted Steph sort of very last minute and she took such a great care of Brownie and Bear. Due to an unexpected family issue, I couldn’t make it back on time as planned, She agreed and was happy to keep them until late night pickup. Thank you for taking such a wonderful care of them. They were very happy and joyful after the stay.”
“Jocelyn was so great with our pup! She was available on short notice and was very communicative. She had a puppy close to age with ours and she sent pictures and videos of them playing daily :) would rebook with her for sure!”
“Deepika is very communicative, sends the cutest photos and even took amazing care of our boy when he started to feel a bit under the weather so we didn’t have to rush home. She goes above and beyond and I love that our dog has a dog buddy to play with while we are gone. ❤️”
“Sooooo glad we found Demi to take care of our elderly lab. Her house, yard space, tender loving care and dedication to our old gal was perfect. We got daily updates/videos which is a huge comfort. Will plan to have Demi care for our lab for any future needs”

“Kimberly has watched our two cats twice and I could not be more grateful for the level of care she gives to them. She is so responsive and understanding. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our kitties!!!”
About: I grew up with a multi-poodle who was part of my life for 12 years. She was more than just a pet (she was family) and taking care of her taught me that so much about what dogs need and how much love they give back. Since then, I’ve always been around dogs, whether it’s through friends or family, and it’s something that’s just always felt natural to me. I love being around them, and caring for them doesn’t feel like a task, it’s just something I genuinely enjoy. I am currently available anytime. Outside of pet care, I just finished my bachelors degree in Architecture and am now studying for my law school entrance exam! Right now, I am offering pet care in my own home. I am also happy to care for pets in their own space, where they’re most comfortable. I always make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and personality, and I make it a priority to keep them feeling safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Lisa always brings so much love and creative fun to our gal Derby’s life every time we head out on a short (couple of or extended (couple of days or weeks) vacation. Our home looks even cleaner than we left it, and Derby is relaxed and happy when we return. Lisa’s visits are always respectful of times suggested and she makes the extra efforts every time to help D feel her most comfy, setting up food puzzle toys when she leaves each day and reporting to us with the most adorable photos and thoughtful updates. We are so fortunate to have Lisa in our lives and as a good friend to D! It is also rare to find a sitter who is not only compassionate and caring but has a vast array of cat care knowledge as well. 🥰 🐈✨”
“Lizzy took such great care of our cat Lucy. She made sure all her needs were met while we were gone. Lizzy checked in promptly and, if necessary, followed up with us on any questions she had. We highly recommend Lizzy to care for your furry lived ones.”
“Aubrey is the best! Looks like our dog had a great time based on the adorable pictures she got of him, and everything was in order when we got home. Absolutely will keep using Aubrey to care for our boy!”
“She’s amazing. My cat is not very friendly to people but Sabrina got ways to connect with her. My cat let her pat her. We have other people come and go all the time. My cat had never let others touch her except us. I believe Sabrina must have some magical wands. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone sitting with your pets.”
“Vivian took wonderful care of my kitten, Hanny, while I was away for the weekend. She kept her fed, clean, and entertained and was a great communicator! We appreciate you so much!”
“Once again, Nicole took great care of our kitties! We were gone for two weeks, and she kept us updated about what was going on with them the whole time. She is very responsive, and she gave them extra cuddles when they seemed lonely :). We will definitely book her next time we're out of town!”
“Was my first time leaving my babies with someone, Lauren sent over lots of pictures and gave great updates. She was very friendly and I will definitely be reaching out to her if I need boarding or drop ins! Highly recommend :)”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for cats, from kittens to adults! I've done drop-in visits that include feeding, cleaning litter boxes and bowls, refilling water stations, playtime, and administering medicine when needed. I always make sure cats feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“Jessica did drop-in visits for our cat while we were away for a few days. She was responsive from beginning to end, and I felt confident to leave Oliver with her. She gave daily updates and made us feel at ease. Would love to have Jessica come take care of Oliver again in the future. Thank you Jessica!”
“Kristen did an AMAZING job caring for our dog and cat! I would highly recommend her services. She sent multiple photos everyday and kept me updated on how the pets were doing. I am so grateful to have found her!”
“Stephen is the Best! He genuinely loves dogs and cats. My cat, Coco, is very shy. Stephen has been really patient and created an environment that made Coco adapting fast. Coco had a great time and sure will come back.”
About: Hello I’m Nancy! I’m a recent college graduate from UCSD who would prefer more animal friends than humans. I joined Rover to meet more local furry neighbors and help out pet owners. I’m a hamster owner myself, but I have plenty of house sitting experience for dogs and cats since 2021. Owners that book recurring visits often see their pets are excited to see me again. I’m honored to be your sitter — your pet will get all of my love and affection and you will receive lots of (goofy) photos to prove that. Cat owners extremely benefit from me, as I have a younger sister who also helps out whenever I am cat sitting. Your cat will understand what it is like to be a celebrity between the two of us since we are big cat lovers! My work schedule is Thursday-Mon 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 3-4pm. So my schedule can align well with pets that are familiar with a typical 9-5 schedule. I rarely travel so my schedule can accommodate pets under short notice. Before you entrust me with the care of your friend, I’d love to know more about them. Ideally, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so they get used to me and so we both know more about each other. It is important to me that I meet you and your pet’s expectations. I’d love to know all the quirks and traits of your pet.
About: Your Trusted Cat Care Companion Hello! My name is Pam, I am a long-time resident of North County San Diego, semi-retired after working in the office for more than 20 years. I am passionate about providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for your feline family members while you’re away. As a lifelong cat lover with several years of cat-sitting experience, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and set of needs. Whether your kitty loves playful activities, cozy naps, or simply a calm presence, I strive to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience. I am comfortable administering medications, following special diets, and tending to both shy and outgoing cats. I always make sure to keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh food and water, and offer plenty of affection and playtime—tailored to your cat’s preferences. I am also happy to send daily updates and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I have always had a kitty in my life. I started with just one but then decided to get a companion for the just one. I then made a home for a Feral that needed love and lots of care. Our little Feral girl soon learned to trust and love us. At one time I have had six. Each kitty has their own special personality and needs. First you need to earn their trust to be able to care for them and have fun with playtime. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your cat and keep them happy and healthy while you’re away!

About: Hi! I'm Anya (but I go by Sophie). I've been taking care of dogs and other animals for most of my life. I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, difficult-to-train dogs, girl dogs in heat, and in-desperate-need-of-grooming dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am very available to be walking, giving attention to and keeping your dog company as I am not working full-time outside the home. I walk my own dogs every 4-6 hours, and they get to play in the yard in the mornings when it's still cool. At my home, the dogs only get to play in the yard while someone is home, and at night, they stay indoors. There are plenty of cozy dog beds for them, and they're also allowed on furniture. Both dogs at home are vaccinated, taken to the vet regularly, and given monthly heartworm prevention tablets.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while following each pet’s routine closely. I am comfortable administering basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping puppies with consistency and positive reinforcement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dedicated attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, which helps me keep pets engaged and happy. I am organized, dependable, and committed to maintaining each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Safety is my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and exercise routines. I always ensure pets are secure during walks and supervised during playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel comfortable and relaxed while receiving the care and attention they deserve.
“Andrea was wonderful. She was able to take my dog at the last minute. She was warm, welcoming, and very friendly. She took excellent care of my dog and would use her again in a heartbeat. My kids also loved petting all the dogs when we went to pick him up.”
“Sophia is a great caretaker. Very responsive and easy to work with. I booked a late notice stay for my dog and she took excellent care of us without any issues. Even went a bit extra and ensured my energetic puppy was well exercised for the day which made my life easier for pickup.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Ty and Annie. They are incredibly friendly, clearly care about what they do, and communicated with us every step of the way. They were especially understanding of our dog’s anxiety and went out of their way to help him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“Michelle and Steve are amazing! They are incredibly patient with my sometimes rambunctious 9 month old sherpard terrier mix. Michelle provides really thorough daily updates with some highlights and works to ensure that the behaviors that the owner is working on with their pup are followed during the stay. The icing on the cake is their pup Daisy. She is incredibly sweet and calm, and my pup Iris loves spending the day playing with her. 10/10 would recommend, and would not hesitate to book for sitting or boarding services!”

“We did a test day care session with Johna and Raymond to make sure our Bella would be ok at a new place as we have never taken her to a doggie daycare or have boarded her anywhere. She and Bentley were very well taken care of and did great at their sitters' home. I'm so happy to have found them so that we can finally take a vacation and know that our fur babies are in good hands!”
“Eunice was amazing with our little girl. She was able to take her last minute to watched her for the day. She sent so many great photos of Gemma and made us feel so comfortable. It was great to that Gemma got to socialize with her dog and other little doggies. We knew she was going to be our forever sitter.”
“Kara was amazing! My anxious and hyperactive pup loooves going to see her. She comes back calm, content, and happily worn out. Kara goes above and beyond , bringing her to the park, multiple walks, and made her homemade healthy dog treats. Best of all she is so clearly at ease when I drop her off in the mornings that I am able to relax at work knowing she’s happy and in good hands.”

I love all types of dogs and love to create new best friends through love and care, cuddles, walks and treats. I take “hot girl walks” daily, would love a partner in crime to do it with. I do have a full time job, work mornings so am able to do evening walks or anytime Monday and Thursdays (my days off) also open to sitting at any time When I did have a cute little dog (3 I total), I trained them from a puppies and continued training in making sure they were well behaved and cared for always. Dogs to me are more than pets and I would treat yours just the same.

About: Hello, my name’s Nicole and I’m a professional dog trainer. I care for dogs one at a time in a dog friendly neighborhood with trails, a fenced outdoor area and free potty bag stations. I have experience with Akitas, Labs, Huskies, Australian Shepherds, Beagles, Labradoodles and many more. Over my years petsitting, training and walking dogs I’ve established a routine to help dogs build confidence in new areas. I have experience with how dogs communicate and learn. If your interested in training your dog on long distance recall I can effectively and humanely train. One of my notable qualities is patience and I have a knack with timid dogs that often find it hard to trust. My strength is building confidence in the shy types and also have worked well with high energy dogs (such as labs, golden retrievers and dutch shepherds). I look forward on building a good foundation for you and your dog, whether on walks, in training or at your home. I’m currently training dogs 3 days a week and at home 4 days, so there will be lots of quality time with your puppy or adult dog. I like to keep them on a routine so they know what to expect everyday, yet also make occasional trips to the local park or trails in the neighborhood. I’ll give your loved one plenty of time to sniff around the house and get comfortable on their bed or dog friendly couch. I keep an eye on them to make sure they settle down and aren’t showing signs of nervousness. I’ll take your dog for a walk right away around the neighborhood to make sure they feel right at home and I’ll make use of their favorite toys to keep them active and enjoying lots of playtime as needed.
About: I have extensive experience and understanding of dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I am attentive to their needs and will always make the effort to have your babies feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I am a graduate student and not currently working so I will be home very often to spend time with the doggos! my schedule is very flexible. It is important to me to make the doggos feel comfortable and loved while they are at my home or I am in theirs. They can have free access to my balcony to sunbathe, go on frequent walks, or trips to the dog park!

“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“Nikki was great with Harley, I had a meet and greet with her before. She has two great and very friendly dogs. I felt safe leaving Harley with her and she took the most amazing pictures of him.”
“Christopher was great with our dog Ollie!! He took him on multiple hikes and even to the Beach!! I think this was the first time we picked up Ollie and he was tired from all the exercise he got. Christopher sent us lots of pictures of their adventures and kept us up to date! Our flight got delayed, and Christopher was very understanding with our delayed pick up time. Overall a great experience for both Ollie and us!! Would highly recommend!!”
“I highly recommend Gelare. The communication was excellent, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. I truly appreciate her attention to details. Our dog was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone responsible and loving, Gelare is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking her again the future. She is the best!”
“I contacted Steph sort of very last minute and she took such a great care of Brownie and Bear. Due to an unexpected family issue, I couldn’t make it back on time as planned, She agreed and was happy to keep them until late night pickup. Thank you for taking such a wonderful care of them. They were very happy and joyful after the stay.”
“Jocelyn was so great with our pup! She was available on short notice and was very communicative. She had a puppy close to age with ours and she sent pictures and videos of them playing daily :) would rebook with her for sure!”
“Deepika is very communicative, sends the cutest photos and even took amazing care of our boy when he started to feel a bit under the weather so we didn’t have to rush home. She goes above and beyond and I love that our dog has a dog buddy to play with while we are gone. ❤️”
“Julia was a fantastic sitter for my baby Kimchi! She sent multiple photos + updates throughout my pets stay, fed her medicine everyday, and her pup Yuki was so gentle and patient with Kimchi. Her place is very secure, so I felt safe having her there. She also takes Kimchi on walks which not all sitters do. And lastly Kimchi has always been an anxious dog who doesn’t acclimate well in new settings, and while she still gets afraid of Julia’s roommates, she felt safe and calm with Julia right off the bat. Would definitely recommend!”
“Angie and her family took really good care of our two dogs! She sent us so many cute pictures throughout the stay and the dogs looked very comfortable at her house. Definitely recommend!”
“Crystal came through for us last minute and she was great with Baxter! She provided an update and showed that my shy and timid dog warmed up to her and her family just as expected. Communication from start to finish was awesome too! Will definitely book with her again.”
“Shruti and Mayank are great hosts. My dog was happy and comfortable in their house. They made sure that she eats her food on time. I would recommend them for your fur babies when you’re not in town and need reliable dog sitter”
“Margaret & Kyle took such great care of my 4 month old puppy, Kalua! She made sure to send daily pictures, updates, and videos while my husband and I were in vacation. Best of all, Kalua gained a new best friend with their dog, Toffee! We are so grateful for them and will definitely be trusting them with caring for Kalua in the future 💛”
“Our dog had a great time at Martin and Crystal's house in their huge backyard and played well with their pet dogs. We received photos and videos and they only had positive feedback. We will definitely use them again!”
“Marta and her kids are such great dog family! My dog had great experiences staying with them. Marta sent me pictures everyday which makes me feel so happy seeing my dog playing well. I’d love to send my dog back there without any hesitation!”
“I am so thankful that I came across Tatyanah and Everardo here. My dog needs to have his bladder manually expressed following a spinal stroke three years ago. They agreed to learn, and they successfully did it for a long trip for me (18 days!) Tristen loves to walk and got daily walks with lots of new friends. He was healthy when I got him back. I got lots of pictures and updates. He also made new dog friends! I wasn’t worried at all during my trip, and it was such a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my dog. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I'm Anya (but I go by Sophie). I've been taking care of dogs and other animals for most of my life. I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, shy dogs, energetic dogs, difficult-to-train dogs, girl dogs in heat, and in-desperate-need-of-grooming dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am very available to be walking, giving attention to and keeping your dog company as I am not working full-time outside the home. I walk my own dogs every 4-6 hours, and they get to play in the yard in the mornings when it's still cool. At my home, the dogs only get to play in the yard while someone is home, and at night, they stay indoors. There are plenty of cozy dog beds for them, and they're also allowed on furniture. Both dogs at home are vaccinated, taken to the vet regularly, and given monthly heartworm prevention tablets.
