“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“We couldn't be happier to have found May! As is our mini Bernedoodle, Zoey, who clearly had THE best time while at May's house. May was absolutely wonderful in sending daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated seeing while out of the country, and it was easy to see just how well taken care of Zoey was. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend May and we will for sure be back!”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Annie & Ty are amazing! Your dog will feel home with them. Their care for our dog was above and beyond. If they’re available, book them, don’t hesitate!”
“Ann and Jim were absolutely wonderful!! We felt such peace of mind leaving our sweet dog in their care during our vacation. Ann was truly a pleasure to work with at each step; very responsive, accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. We are grateful to have found Ann on Rover, to have an excellent boarding option in the future.”
“I want to thank you for taking such good care of Benji while we were gone for one week. I kept receiving photos of Benji playing with another dog and being happy and calm. Everything went smoothly and nice. I recommend Mayank family and I will definitely book again with you next time”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Beth and her family always make Peanut feel welcome. Beth stays in touch with pictures so that we can rest assured that Peanut is doing well. Thank you, Beth!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Alicia is the sweetest sitter alive. She is so loving and communicative. She replies super quick and is flexible. She sends lots of photo updates and let my mind be at ease while I was away from my Pepper. I love that she has a yard to free roam. Pepper was tired from his visit bc he had so many friends. Pepper would love to see her again!”
“Kimberly is such a wonderful person you can rely on. She sent lots of cute pictures everyday to let me know that my pup was doing well. June was so happy with her and the pups that she didn’t have time to miss me. I’ll be reaching out to her indeed.”
“Great experience with Takako and Eric! Our dog didn’t want to leave! They really took care of him, and return him to us in great conditions. They also sent daily photo updates. There are some great shots! Highly recommended 👍”
“Ankea and her family are some of the nicest people we have ever met! She constantly sends us pictures and videos of our loved one. It is obvious that our puppy really enjoys staying with Ankea and her doggies. Sometimes I wonder if our dog even wants to come home since she has so much fun there ;}”
“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!”
“Tiffany and Calvin were great! Super communicative and responsive, they sent lots of pictures of Nia during her stay there. Would definitely have Nia stay with them again :)”
“Perfect spot for Azuki to relax for a few days while we were out of town. It felt like he was getting his own little vacation. Very good communication and lots of photos.”
“Amy is not only GREAT with Cookie, she is FLEXIBLE. I could not get back to so Cookie had to spend another night. Not a problem. I highly recommend your dogs stay at Amy's. Thank you, Amy.”
“eddy had an great time staying at Michael’s place. Michael was very communicative and responsive, which put our minds at ease, knowing that Teddy was safe and well cared for. I’m already booking Teddy’s next stay with him!”

“Samantha was fantastic! She provided us with so much peace of mind knowing she was looking in on our two cars while we were away. She sent daily photos to let us know how they were doing. She was so patient with them, as they refused to come out of hiding while she was here. But she fed them, took care of the litter and brought in our packages, which was so helpful! I will definitely hire her again.”
“Laura has pet sat for our two cats twice now. She goes above and beyond and even stopped by an extra time to check on one of the kitties. She is dependable, always on time, very responsible and a great communicator. I did not worry with her in charge. Hope she is available next time I need a sitter!”
“Incredibly friendly and communicative! AJ was more than accommodating to our needs and was very understanding of our unique situation :) he was on time and reliable and was able to administer medicine to our cat, which was important to us. Would highly recommend!”
“Haley is a wonderful pet sitter who is reliable and willing to go above and beyond to ensure that my cats are happy and well! So grateful to have you in the neighborhood, Haley!”
About: Hi! I moved to San Diego in July '22, and really enjoy all the outdoor space and amenities available to keeping our pets happy and healthy! I currently have a 15 year old female cocker spaniel named Coco, a 3 year old pit shepherd named Cali, and 2 year old boxer shepherd named Mocha. I love taking them on walks, exploring new neighborhoods together, and giving them all the love and attention they deserve! I'd very much welcome being a part of your pets' lives (dogs and cats) and I'll make sure to give them all my love and attention while keeping things fun! I know there are many experienced dog handlers to choose from, and I thank you for entrusting me with your pets' daily routines. I work from home, and so I'm flexible for walks and drop ins, both weekdays and weekends. I'm generally available after 9am to care for your pets! Since I work from home, I'm with my dogs all the time, so I can easily keep my eye on them. My doors and gates are locked all the time, so no issues with them running out. I'll make sure to do the same at my client's home and I'm happy to follow any special requests they may have to care for their pets.
About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding and daycare for almost 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel and currently at a daycare in Poway. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, and other small animals. My kennel experience has given me a ton of knowledge of dog behavior, body language, and safe handling techniques. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, and loved! My schedule works best for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m in school during the mornings and work part-time a few days a week, but I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m reliable with routines and always make time for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with each pet. In some cases, I may be able to bring dogs with me to my work (a supervised doggy daycare), which can be great for social dogs, just ask if you’re interested! I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away
“Maria watched our fluffy, 6 year old girl for ~10 days while we were out of town, dropping in to check on her twice a day, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went! We received daily updates with pictures so we knew our girl was happy and getting some much-needed attention. Maria watched Kasha for an extended period previously which is why we requested her this time, and we will continue to request her in the future for our cat-sitting needs.”
About: Hi, I’m Valerie! I’ve had cats my entire life as well as over 8 years of professional experience working in the animal industry (as a pet groomer, pet boarding kennel tech, and PETCO small animal & aquatics specialist). I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats, including pets with medical needs, special diets, anxiety, senior care needs, and specific routines. I currently work with children as a Speech Therapist in a Montessori school, and provide pet care during summer breaks. Since I am on break, I will be home and available all day for your pets! My husband and I are childless and live in a cozy, quiet house in Rancho Penasquitos with our one senior kitty Meeka. I can help with feeding, medication, litter care, playtime, companionship, and keeping your cat’s routine consistent while you’re away. Any additional needs, just let me know! I am happy to accommodate you and your pet in any way.
“Susan did a great job taking care of Max! I had no worries about him during my vacation. She is very detail oriented and took care of everything beautifully. Will definitely ask her to watch Max again.”
“Tiffany was great! Once she got to know our cat's personality and determined that Muchi would mesh well with her kids, she brought her children over for some of the scheduled playdates. I would recommend Tiffany without hesitation.”
“Reilly was wonderful with our puppy Gordon! She was reliable with all the drop ins and took great care of him - including taking him on little walks for a change of scenery. We’d absolutely book Reilly to help with Gordon in the future :) Thank you!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager and now have a dog of my own. She’s super friendly and she’s almost always with me! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I work from home, 7am - 3pm usually, Monday through Friday, and I can usually take walk breaks during the day. I have a friendly dog named Lola who would love company in our daily walks, hikes, and dog park adventures! I can also watch your dog for extended stays at my house or yours.

“Odie, Bubble and Pippa just had a half-day trial day with Annie and Ty and their two girls and everything went fantastic! Annie and Ty provided plenty of photos and feedback that everyone was having a good time. They also took all three pups on a much appreciated walk. I feel very lucky to have found a home away from home that all three of my dogs eill enjoy visiting. More stays to come!”
“Amy took wonderful care of my dog Cevi! By the second and third drop off, Cevi was pulling me to get to Amy’s house. It was such a relief to know he was happy with Amy and her cute dog Chewie!”
“Sasha loves her daycare at Erika & Mark's home, where she gets to visit her new friend Nora. It’s such a wonderful home environment — spacious yard, safe setup, and lots of play. I get regular updates and cute photos, which always make my day. My dog gets so excited every time we pull into the driveway — that says it all! Couldn’t ask for a better place for my pup to spend the day.”
About: I had Dogs all my life and absolutely love taking care of them. We have a big back yard for your puppy to explore. I can’t wait to spoil your fury baby! I work from home and typically go on short walks around breakfast, lunch and dinner . Weekends are more flexible with possible trips to dog beach or dog park. Our large yard is fenced and fun to explore. We have a lot of trees and grass to play fetch and take naps! Fun for all 🐶
“Mazi had a great time at their beautiful home. They communicated well throughout his stay and Mazi was super happy. I will book Mazi again without any hesitation.”
“I’m so grateful for Chris & Corinne and the awesome job they did taking care of my dog, Kieran. I needed some last-minute help and not only were they able to accommodate my short notice booking, but they also made time to squeeze in a meet-and-greet session so my dog could have a chance to acclimate a little. My dog can be a bit anxious and tends to warm to new people pretty slowly, but within minutes of meeting he seemed at ease in their home and even came up to them for pets. During the actual visit, I got a midday check-in, complete with a photo of my boy relaxing and looking perfectly comfortable and content without me. If I wasn’t in the process of moving, I would definitely use them as our regular sitters!”
“sophie was very kind and communicative throughout the process! she recieved my daisy with open arms and took her on walks, sent pictures throughout and even shared her own dogs food with our girl. will be returning to sophie :)”
“Our two dogs spent a full day with Jason and our experience was just wonderful. Upon arriving he brought us into his home to show us around and make us feel comfortable with the environment and with him. He asked us all the right questions about what our dogs might need. The dogs clearly had a great time, were engaged with throughout the day, and we got lots of great photos and videos. Jason was extremely friendly, communicative, flexible, and pleasant to deal with.”
About: I am an animal lover at heart. I have had cats and dogs for a good portion of my life and treat them as my family. Currently I am working with Second Chance Dog Rescue as a foster mom for shelter dogs. Being a foster mom has been a very rewarding experience by providing rescued dogs with the love and socialization necessary to find their furever home. I work from home full-time which will allow your dog to be loved and cared for while you are out of town. I have been dog sitting (for large and small dogs) for friends for 20+ years, as well as, owning my own dogs and cats. While at my house your dog will play with my 3 small dogs and have plenty of time to play in the yard. Book your stay today, I would love to meet you and your dog! I work full-time from home. Your dog will be with me while I work and will play with my three dogs. I take all animals out for potty breaks every couple hours. This routine is very familiar to me as I have been doing it for 14+ years. I have a completely fenced yard. When your dog goes out to play or go potty, I will be there supervising to ensure all is well. I have a big turf area in my yard for dogs to run and play. All dogs will sleep inside the house either with me in the bedroom or in a crate if they are crate trained. I work from home full-time. Wake up time is between 6-7 AM. Dogs are fed around 7 AM for breakfast and 5 PM for dinner. Your dog will hang out with me while I work inside my home. I have a completely fenced in yard where your dog will run and play on the turf with my dogs. We like to play fetch as well.
“Gris is an exceptional dog sitter! Her sweet nature and excellent communication made our experience worry-free. Despite our slight delay in returning, she was incredibly understanding. Gris treated our furry family member with the utmost care and affection, as if our pup was her own. Her attentiveness and dedication have earned our trust completely. We're thrilled to have found such a reliable and loving sitter in Gris, and we look forward to having her as our go-to dog care provider for all future needs. Highly recommended!”
“Adam and his family are clearly dog lovers! They watched our dog for a day, and they sent many photos of her having fun. Their home was beautiful, and their yard was spacious. They were still giving my dog lots of belly rubs when I drove up to get her, and she was asleep when she got back to our home so they kept her nice and engaged throughout the day. I will happily trust this family with her again!”
“We definitely recommend Jeanette! :) Our 7 month old puppy Charlie had so much fun under her care, and he loved her a lot too!! I really appreciate her being attentive to Charlie since he gets overwhelmed at times and is a little timid at first. We got a lot of updates during Charlie’s stay and she is always easy to talk to! Looking forward to Charlie’s next stay, thank you!!”
About: We are a family of 4 (myself, my husband, 5 year old and 2.5 year old) who miss having a dog in the house. We recently lost our beloved fur baby and before we dive back into adopting another dog - we are opening our home to watch your pup! I work from home full time and my husband a few days a week so someone is always home. I still have a large crate set up in the house if you'd feel more comfortable with your dog being crated if ever being left alone. We have a fenced backyard, great neighborhood for walks and lots of room for your dog to nap, run and play, etc My profile headline "neurotic dog mom" - I was an extremely neurotic dog mom to my pup - what made me feel comfortable was lots of pictures/updates - so I'd do that for you too! I work from home full time so there is always someone home. If your pup does well in the car they are welcome to accompany to school drop off/picks up with my kids. I have a fenced yard and currently no pets so they would be the sole animal in the house. I have baby gates on the bottom and top stairs (along with stair treds for senior dogs/dogs with lots of hair) if your pup isn't skilled on the stairs - but they are welcome both up and down stairs.
About: For the past 2 years I have not only been dog sitting for family and friends, but I have been volunteering at shelters and adoption events allowing me to have experience with all types of pets. My dream has been on becoming a veterinarian and becoming a future dog owner, on my free time I spend it on looking into the best options on ensuring good health in dogs. I will be able to ensure pet care on weekends, I currently have a part time job during the weekdays and at the moment do now know my schedule for those days. I have access to 2 dog parks near my house along with other open parks with lots of space for your pet to roam. With me they will always have access to anything necessary to make them feel loved and happy. In your home I will make sure to follow through any rules you have set for your property and your pet keeping you and your pet feeling safe even while your away.
“My shy girl really likes Ankea and does well with her. Ankea was able to handle my dog's unexpected mischievous behavior well during my dog's most recent visit. Thank you :)”

“Aj was so great with my dog Archie! Aj was attentive to Archie’s needs, so kind to him, and Archie immediately loved him. We will definitely use Aj again!”
“Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.”
“Laura did an absolutely fantastic job with my foster dog. She took him for walks over lunch and spent a few extra minutes with him to ensure he was comfortable. She was communicative, sent pictures, gave thorough updates, and most importantly made sure he was safe. I will absolutely use Laura again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of my friends dog and also have had pets my entire life (cats, rabbits, birds) and are family to me. I have fed my friend's dog while they were away and am aware of important items that are needed for dogs such as: treats, litter box, leash, medicine, toys, and carriers. I am patient and am good at picking up on dog body language. Picking up on these things such as tail wagging, rolling over and signs of stress has enabled me to beter serve the dog I was taking care of. I am currently working full time in the evenings from 3 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. I would love to use my available time to take care of dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I care for my pets at home by creating a stimulating environment for them to play, rest and explore. I also make sure to proof my home so that pets are safe. I use engaging toys to play with my cat and feed him twice a day with snacks if needed.
“Our dog is very timid, so we arranged for Danielle and Koco to meet prior to the first walk. Even though Koco was too shy to go on the walk with Danielle, she tried to encourage her, spent time with her at home, communicated and sent photos to me during her visit. Thank you, Danielle!”
“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and love getting to know their big personalities. I will love and care for your babies like they are my own while they are in my care. I'm currently working from home and like to get out and go for a longer walk everyday. I love spending time playing with animals and just loving on them! I have a fenced in yard and like to go for walks everyday. I know your animals schedules can be very important to them and I am able to accommodate to whatever their needs may be.
About: I have loved animals my entire life. Growing up I never had my own dog, but I always loved every dog around me. I got a dog in high school and have only grown the pack since. My 3 dogs who I have trained since they were 8 weeks old are well trained and extremely loving. Caring for animals comes as a second nature to me and I try to make every animal feel loved and happy with every interaction. I care for my animals every day, morning and night. They are fed twice a day, taken to get exercised at least once a day, and loved all the time. - I also do some maintenance grooming and bathing every couple of weeks. I let my animals run around and take their time going potty, sniffing around, and getting their wiggles out. This includes hanging out in a fenced yard, going to the dog park, taking hikes/walks, or running around in large safe areas.
“My dog does not do well with boarding and can be standoffish and barky with new people. We hired Tianyi to come 3x per day for a walk when we were away and to make sure our dog's food and water were set. She was so great with our dog. She gave us updates and pictures. When we came home our dog was happy and excited and was in good health and spirits. We will definitely use Tianyi again! I highly recommend her.”

“We were away for 2 weeks, and Finzel took care of our 11yo dog with walks and dinner in the evenings (while our housesitter worked a late shift). She was professional, friendly, communicative, and reliable throughout. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup! Thank you Finzel!”

“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”
“I’ve used Rover in the past but let me tell you I would highly recommend Gelare E. To anyone who’s looking for someone to watch their fur babies. Never in my life had someone loved and cared for our spirit like this beautiful family. They are above a 10 plus. I would never have no one but Gelare to watch my fur babies. I can’t say enough about the love and care they have for Animals. When I say trust me I mean that from my heart. They are the best fur babies sitters in the world to me. If I could give them the world for taking care of our boy spirit! I would. They are extra extra special dog sitters. Thank you God for beautiful animal lovers like this family ❤️🥰🙏🩷😇”
“Ann and Jim were absolutely wonderful!! We felt such peace of mind leaving our sweet dog in their care during our vacation. Ann was truly a pleasure to work with at each step; very responsive, accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. We are grateful to have found Ann on Rover, to have an excellent boarding option in the future.”
“I want to thank you for taking such good care of Benji while we were gone for one week. I kept receiving photos of Benji playing with another dog and being happy and calm. Everything went smoothly and nice. I recommend Mayank family and I will definitely book again with you next time”
“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“Perfect spot for Azuki to relax for a few days while we were out of town. It felt like he was getting his own little vacation. Very good communication and lots of photos.”
“Amy is not only GREAT with Cookie, she is FLEXIBLE. I could not get back to so Cookie had to spend another night. Not a problem. I highly recommend your dogs stay at Amy's. Thank you, Amy.”
“eddy had an great time staying at Michael’s place. Michael was very communicative and responsive, which put our minds at ease, knowing that Teddy was safe and well cared for. I’m already booking Teddy’s next stay with him!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Nina was fantastic. She cared for Winnie while we took a short vacation like she was her own dog. Winnie got regular walks and spent time sunning herself on the balcony. Winnie enjoyed Nina's quiet and clean condo., with a view of lake. We would definitely use Nina's services in the future. My daughter really appreciated the many pictures Nina sent us. Nina was also very responsive whenever we contacted her to check in on Winnie's status. Overall, this was a great experience.”
“Jason is incredibly kind, responsive, and both him and Tatiana treated Lili as if she were their own dog. He went above and beyond to guide us through the entire process, providing daily updates and photos while we were away. Lili clearly enjoyed her stay with Jason much more than her previous experiences at boarding facilities. We highly recommend him.”
“We are so lucky to have Michelle and Steve (and their sweet lab Daisy) for our Tapi. They are so caring and treat our big puppy like their own baby. He gets so much attention and they are always conscientious about keeping their dogs safe. Tapi absolutely LOVES going there and he had such a blast with his 5 night boarding with them.”
“Marley had a fantastic time with Jenny! She was great about sending lots of pictures and videos so we always felt in the loop. He got lots of trips to the dog park and enjoyed playing with her dog Lucky. I know he’s already looking forward to his next visit with her!”
“Crystal took care of my dog Charlie very well and I can tell that he was in good hands as soon as we met her. All he likes to do is snuggle and be next to someone and she took the time to be with him and make sure he felt comfortable. He’s a little anxious sometimes, but even when we got him back, there were no signs that he was anxious and he was just as happy as if we never left him. we will certainly consider having Crystal watch him again as they bonded very well. Thank you, Crystal!”
“Deepika was available for a last minute need to help us keep our dog while we were moving out of our home. She was responsive on text and provide pictures during the day. I would definitely consider her again in the future.”
