Abegail was very kind and caring with Koko, she even was very responsive and sent a lot of photos for his short stay with her! Abegail even responded to our last minute request as we had issues with another sitter and was able to book her the day of our reservation! Wonderful job done and would strongly recommend her again!

May took very good care of our senior dog during the a holidays. She was attentive and sent us great pictures during her stay. She is usually nervous and stressed when boarding, but was happy and not anxious at all when arriving home. She went easily back to her normal routines. We are very happy with the special care provided to her and will absolutely use their services again! Thank you!

Emily & Steven were absolutely fantastic. We had a 4 month old puppy which is a lot of responsibility for anyone to handle. They happily took her in, cared for her and sent constant updates and pictures of their days together. I am very grateful we were able to find a family that showed how much they cared for animals. Thank you!!!

Mayank and Shritu are truly wonderful pet caregivers! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous at first. We chose them based on their many positive reviews—and we’re so happy we did. They were amazing! They sent us daily photos and videos of Blue, which really put us at ease. Knowing he was having fun with other dogs and receiving so much love made all the difference. Thank you so much, Mayank and Shritu!

Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊

About: I've loved cats my whole life and still help care for my family's feline friends whenever I can. Since I can't have a cat where I currently live, I cherish every opportunity to spend time with them. I know every cat has their own personality, some want endless playtime, some want lap time, and some want their space. I'll read their vibes to learn their routine, provide attentive care, and earn their trust at their own pace (with bribes as needed). I also have experience caring for dogs, reptiles, and small animals.

We did a meet and greet to show the cats' routines (including Piper's daily medication needs) and Audrey met all of their needs and quirks and play-styles. We got adorable photos every day and a text recap. Overall we are very thankful for Audrey's expert care with our cats and willingness to help us last-minute. I'm sure our angels will miss her even after just a few days

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was a teenager, and I’ve always loved their unique personalities — from playful kittens to senior cats who enjoy a quieter pace. Friends, family, and referrals have trusted me to feed, play with, administer plenty of cuddles, and keep litter boxes clean. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I make sure to follow their schedule closely while giving them the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s keeping them entertained with toys or simply providing calm companionship, I always aim to make cats feel safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away.

About: My first pet was a cat, so I have been around cats for most of my life. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, and I know how important it is to give them patience, space, and attention on their terms. I also often cat sit for family members, so I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and helping cats feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I pay attention to each cat’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe and stress-free in their home environment. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or affectionate, I’ll make sure they are well cared for and comfortable.

About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.

They were communicative and caring, even letting me know when he had an upset stomach and making sure he was well taken care of. I’d definitely use them again if I’m in the area. Highly recommend!

About: I have worked at Camp Run a Mutt and DogZenergy, where I gained experience in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments! Recognizing that every dog or cat is unique, I strive to provide personalized care that meets their individual needs. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a reactive/fearful rescue, I tailor my approach to ensure their comfort and well-being. Special skills include: administering medications, specialized care for senior or disabled pets, and dealing with anxious/fearful behavior. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I can fit in walks throughout the day and am happy to do pet check-ins ! I am available for pet sitting and can easily tailor my schedule around your pet's needs. I have a rescue pup that is friendly with most dogs as well.

Shawna took amazing care of my 18-month-old Frenchie! From the moment we arrived for drop-off, she was warm, kind, professional, and ready to jump right in. I had never left my dog with a stranger before—especially someone I met online—so I was definitely hesitant. But after just one experience with Shawna, I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Throughout the day, she sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It honestly looked like my pup was having the time of his life! I think he may have had more fun with Shawna than he did on our long car ride home. We were visiting the area for my daughter's birthday and staying at a pet-friendly hotel, but we didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone all day. Booking with Shawna ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our trip. She also has a friendly dog of her own and thoughtfully introduced them. They spent the day walking, sunbathing, playing, and cuddling, and it was obvious my Frenchie felt safe, happy, and loved. If you're on the fence about using Rover or booking with Shawna, don't be. She exceeded every expectation, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Shawna, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! - The Hill Family

About: I have owned three dogs, in which two are yorkies and one is a miniature schnauzer, in the past four years and have taken great care of them. I have been sitting dogs through Rover for over a year now. I currently study at UC San Diego, and I have plenty of time to play, go on walks and provide care for your furry friends. Your furry friend will be kept in a spacious room where I stay as well, they won’t be caged, but not allowed on the bed.

About: I grew up in the countryside, where my family worked closely with sheep and dogs were an essential part of daily life. From an early age, I developed a deep understanding of dogs’ behavior, needs, and the importance of providing them with consistent care, exercise, and companionship. Over the years, I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, and both family and friends have consistently trusted me to walk, supervise, and look after their pets. What distinguishes my care is the level of attention, affection, and dedication I provide to every dog. I believe dogs thrive when they receive not only proper exercise and structure through regular walks and activity, but also genuine affection, patience, and emotional comfort. I always ensure that each dog feels safe, loved, stimulated, and truly cared for while in my company. Currently, I am studying, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I can adapt most of my day to walk, play with, and take care of your dogs. I am available throughout the week and can offer my services at any time that is convenient for you. I am committed to providing attentive and loving care for your pets, making sure they are happy, safe, and well-exercised while you are away. I pay close attention to their individual needs, enjoy engaging them in fun and stimulating activities, and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. You can trust that your pets will receive the same level of attention and affection as they would at home.

Natalyia was great. There was very good communication and lots of updates and pics. She asked if I wanted to do a meet-and-greet before the actual daycare date, and I think it helped Chewy to meet her sweet pup Teddy ahead of time. I will definitely call on Natalyia in the future for dog sitting.

About: My fiancée and I love animals so much! We have a one year old goldendoodle that would love a friend to play with on weekends and long breaks. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, and absolutely love spending time with them. I am a teacher so I am available on my long breaks to watch your pets and am available on weekends when you’re away. We live in a spacious apartment with a balcony, but we have a pet friendly rooftop and terrace we will let your doggy run around and play on. It’s a private terrace for residents only, so your pet will be safe and able to run around and play!

I wanted an experienced sitter that also has dogs of their own and/or has others under their care so his set up has been perfect for us. It's obvious that he has the knowledge, patience, and kindness to care for dogs. I'm a repeat customer for sure!

We were worried about our pup having separation anxiety because we were going back to the office 4 days a week now.Shadow enjoyed the visits and was very glad to see her for his walks. Luciana made us feel comfortable and communicated well and promptly. We will definitely be booking Luciana for as long as she is available 🙂

About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.

About: Seven years ago, I rescued a beagle, and I’ve been caring for him ever since. Through daily walks, feeding, training, playtime, and regular vet visits, I’ve gained hands-on experience understanding dogs’ needs and personalities. I know how important patience, consistency, and safety are, and I’ll treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m a full-time student with a flexible schedule outside of classes. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks on many weekdays, as well as weekends. I keep my calendar up to date and always communicate about changes. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I respect dogs, their habits and space. I follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets safe and comfortable, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure their routine stays consistent.

As a full time student at UCSD, I am flexible, reliable, and have a lot of availability! Open to drop-ins and walks! Send me a message and we can find what works for you :) Creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for your pet is extremely important to me. I carefully follow your care instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of playtime and affection. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

About: Hello, my name is Kim. I am an experienced dog sitter and a huge dog lover. I currently work hybrid at UCSD so i may have to go in the office for a couple of hours m-f but i live 5 mins from my job so when I do go in, I can always come back home quickly. I have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekend and after work! I like to go to the beach and park as much as possible especially when I’m dog sitting. Pet sitting always keeps me in great spirits and gets my steps in since I love taking them on walks. Your pup would be sleeping in my room where there is plenty of space for a dog bed. I also have floor pillows which dogs seem to gravitate to and for those pups who want to cuddle in bed they are welcomed to do so. Additionally, there’s a dog park in my apartment complex with green space all around so it’s a safe area to walk them. when/if your pet is in my home they would be free to be on furniture and play with their toys in our living room, balcony and my bedroom.

About: Hi, I’m Zakira! As a lifelong animal lover, I know pets are family—not just pets. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to fit their unique personality and routine. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: * 🐾 Plenty of love and one-on-one attention * 📸 Daily photo and video updates * 🚶 Walks, playtime, and enrichment * 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and medications (if needed) * 💤 A calm, clean, and comfortable environment * ❤️ Lots of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, and I’ll do everything I can to make you feel confident while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, but I have an hour lunch break from 12–1pm — perfect for stopping by to give your pets a potty break, some fresh air, and a little love. 🐾 After 5pm on weekdays, I’m available for sitting, walks, and cuddles. I don’t have kids, and after recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, I’d truly love the chance to give my care and attention to yours. ❤️ On some Fridays I’m off or finish early, and I’m also available for boarding after 5:30/6pm on Fridays and all day Saturday–Sunday. Your pets will be in caring, responsible hands, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, family, and referrals have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs both in their homes and mine. I make sure each dog gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and snuggles — whether that’s a trip to the dog park, a long walk, or simply relaxing together. I understand how much dogs thrive on routine, so I always follow their schedule and give them the same affection and attention they would get from their family. My goal is to keep every tail wagging and every pup feeling safe, happy, and cared for. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I also send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Since I don’t have kids or other pets, your furry babies will always have my full attention and care.

About: Hi! I'm Vivian, a UCSD medical student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 9-week-old puppies to 12-year-old senior dogs. In the past, I've provided dog walking, feeding, and overnight house sitting, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a medical student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! Throughout the rest of summer, my schedule is very flexible to cater to whatever your pet needs :) I live at graduate housing which has plenty of green space for your pets to roam around and explore! I am able to crate your pets if necessary. I have a senior cat at home that has lived with other cats before and has also been friendly with all dogs that have come to visit my home.

Dear Rover, My german shepherd stayed with Alexis for 1 night and 2 days as a test case to see how well your service would work out for him. Luca (his name) is very high energy and loves to play and get lots of attention. He is 7 years old and this was the first time he has been away from home ever so I was concerned how he would react. My worries were all for nothing. First Alexis is a very nice, well organized and calm person so I liked her right away. Next her house has a large beautiful yard for dogs to play in and it is well secured so they won't escape. When I dropped off Luca he was interested in sniffing everything and seemed to forget about me as I left. Alexis sent me lots of pictures of Luca playing and hanging out in and out of her house so I was happy for him that he was having a good time there. When I came to pick Luca up I could see that he was already becoming attached to Alexis as he stood near her as we talked. When we left he was tugging on his leash to go back to her house instead of coming with me to our car (a good sign). Alexis told me that Luca and her dog played a lot and became friends (I am happy about that he had another dog to play with). All considered I was very happy with his stay with Alexis and am intending to bring him back to her. I would highly recommend her.

This was Rosie's first ever boarding outside our house and Hana made Rosie's visit stress-free. Hana was very responsive to my booking inquiry and welcoming when we visited to meet her in advance of booking. Hana sent photos and videos during the stay and I felt very comforted knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Hana again. Thanks, Hana!

About: Hi! I recently moved from France to San Diego and I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I grew up with dogs in a house and also had my own dog for several years while living in an apartment, so I’m comfortable with different environments and routines. I’m an active person and I love spending time outdoors, so I’d be happy to take your dog on walks, play, and make sure they get the exercise they need. I truly enjoy being around dogs and will treat yours like my own I have a flexible schedule and I’m available most weekdays, especially during the day while my wife is at work. I can easily fit pet care into my routine and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and exercise they need. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and confident. I respect their routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific habits or needs. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care so the dog feels relaxed and well looked after at all times.

Joanna was great! My dog was very anxious the morning we would be away. Joanna made sure he was well taken care of, and the kids gave him lots of love to help him feel better. It made my trip away much better knowing he was well cared for.

Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.
