“Bella is always well taken care of at Vadym and Svitlana’s home! We get frequent updates while away and Bella is always excited to see them and stay over. Would highly recommend if you ever need a dogsitter!”
“Anasteysha and her family were excellent! Our dog Cookie really enjoyed her stay and was able to play with other dogs. Anasteysha was very responsive and sent many pictures/videos while we were away. We will use their services again!”
“Pepper had so much fun. This sitter updated me constantly and sent me pictures throughout the days. My dog had so much fun and felt so comfortable with this sitter. I didn’t have to worry about the safety or wellbeing of my pepper with Gabi. Gabi was super quick to respond to me and asked permission before taking my pepper anywhere. I will absolutely use Gabi again and recommend her to anyone that’s using Rover! This was my first time using rover and this experience really set the tone for the app! Amazing dog sitter!!”
“Chong took exceptional care of my pup and went above and beyond when my flight got delayed. She sent tons of pictures which I appreciate and Marlow came home at ease and happy. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Had no worries leavingThomas with Raquel for our trip down to Mexico- we got daily photos and videos from Raquel along with updated food and walking details throughout the trip. When we picked up Thomas he was happy and playful- thank you Raquel!! Defined our go to next time we take a trip ??”
“Rocky had a blast playing with Lori and her dogs all week! He was so loved during his stay and we were updated with many pictures and videos. Lori and her husband Craig took amazing care of our Rocky! Thank you!!”
“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“The hardest part about being a dog owner is finding people you can trust when you want to travel. Whether it be out for the night or in our case, gone for the weekend. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone from rover and couldn't be happier. We have an older pittie that isn't good with other dogs and a puppy that has lots of energy and is little over 1. Brianna and Charles put us at ease from the moment we dropped them off. They even kept us updated with photos and you could tell how happy the doggos were when we picked them up. We will definitely be trying our hardest to book with them when we need to book with rover again in the future.”
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our two doggos. They welcomed them into their home just like family. They enjoyed their stay based on the photos received daily and came back happy and healthy. I recommend Kim and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Sean & family (including their dog Zorian) were just wonderful dog sitters! This was a repeat booking with him and I certainly plan to use him again in the future. They welcomed my dog into their family and took great care of him!”
“David watched my dogs for two days. Both dogs have had some reactivity to different dogs/things so I was pretty nervous. David reassured me and was able to guide the dogs through a positive experience and one of them was even able to build new experiences with other dogs. It was such a wonderful experience!!”
“We just moved here from out of state and we left behind an amazing Rover sitter, so we were a little nervous trying a new one here but we really feel like we struck gold with Candace and Tim! They took such good care of our pups and sent us picture updates that I loved! You won’t regret leaving your fur babies with them :) We will certainly be using them again!”
“Michele is the best dog sitter! I could tell they were well taken care of by her and she gave them lots of love! She sent pictures every day and they looked so happy. I will definitely use her the next time I go out of town!”
“She took such great care of Lance! She was very responsive and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible with our dates and times, and that really helped make everything work out. When I mentioned that Lance has separation anxiety and tends to bark when he hears other dogs barking, she immediately told me that she has a similar dog and is very familiar with the breed. That instantly made me feel at ease and confident that Lance was in great hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Lance again in the future!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great sitters for my dog! She sent me pictures periodically to show that my dog was doing great! It was clear to me that he was comfortable and enjoying his stay! I will defy items ask them to take care of him again.”
“Would highly recommend Katlin and her family to watch your pup! Ours was a tired pup when we picked him up and appreciated all the pictures they would send. She is very communicative and responds right away to any messages. Thank you again so much Karalin for taking care of our doggo while we were out of state!”
“Ms. Natalie was amazing at taking care of J. Cash and Gretchen! She is very professional and was extremely kind and patient with our pups. We had a meet and greet a couple days before and I really appreciated how knowledgeable she was socializing them with her beautiful dog and allowing them to feel comfortable in her home. By the time we dropped them off for the night they were comfortable and trusted her very much. It’s such a good feeling when you know your dogs feel safe and they were obviously in great hands. She also kept us updated on how the pups were doing and sent us pictures! Thank you Ms. Natalie for taking such good care of our little fur babies. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope you’re able to watch our pups again in the future!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting neighbors cats when I was younger. We had our first family cat (money cat) when I was 4. Currently, I have two cats, misty, and Mischka. We love catnip, playing with a flashlight, and squeezable kitty treats! When misty was younger I trained her to use the toilet!
“Eric was reliable, flexible, thorough, patient and kind. The daily communications and photos were very comforting for me. He went above and beyond expectations. Very grateful. Would gladly use him again.”
“Janet came to check on our two kitties while we were out of town for about 10 days during the holidays and she was great! We could tell our kitties loved her from our initial meet n greet and had great visits with her throughout. She is definitely a cat person, which we loved and were looking for in our search- not always easy to find! She was excellent at communicating with us on how things were going (including sending us photos every day!) and left the house and more importantly, our fur babies, in excellent shape for our return. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her! Thanks Janet!”
“Jeanne was great with our 3 kitties when we were out of town for several days and she visited twice a day. She has a clear comfort level with cats and seemed to genuinely enjoy them. Most importantly, she was able to give our diabetic boy shots twice a day with no issues, which was our primary concern and she totally managed it. She also spent time socializing with them all, sent us detailed updates, photos, and videos as we requested, and left the space tidy. We would definitely have her help with our babies again!”
“Colette did a great job taking care of my cat Cooper. He warmed up to her and she was able to give him his medicine (which isn’t always an easy feat). She’s vey dependable and responsible. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I've been a cat person my whole life — I grew up with cats, had two of my own, and now volunteer with a local rescue doing fostering and transport. That means I'm comfortable with shy cats, multi-cat households, basic medical needs and special dietary needs. Over the past couple of years, I've become the go-to cat sitter in my neighborhood, and I'd love to offer that same care to more neighbors. Whether it's feeding, litter duty, playtime, or just keeping your cat company, I'll treat your cat like my own while you're away.
About: I’ve cared for my family’s three cats for several years and understand that every cat has its own personality and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, giving plenty of playtime and attention, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. As an incoming UC Davis Aerospace Engineering student and Regents Scholar, I’m dependable, organized, and take responsibility seriously. I also have professional experience caring for children ages 8–13, which has strengthened my patience, communication, and attention to detail. I’ll treat your cat and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and kittens of all ages and personalities. I have experience administering oral medications and eye medications, caring for senior cats, high-anxiety cats, shy cats, and multi-cat households. Friends, family, and clients have trusted me for years with both pet sitting and home sitting responsibilities, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love cats and understand that each one has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Alex did a wonderful job watching my kittens for the week while I was out of town! I got lots of photos and updates and I had the most relaxing stress free trip knowing they were taken care of!!”
About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am very experienced with all levels of care from walking and feeding, to administering medication and light obdience and potty training. I am highly attentive, comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and dedicated to maintaining your dog's regular routine so they feel safe and loved while you're away. My schedule is currently wide open for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. I do ask for some advance notice, but I am open to accommodating same-day requests when possible. I provide a secure environment for pets in my home with at least 3 walks a day and plenty of engagement. I have a doodle who loves to have "sleepovers" with new friends. Safety is my top priority, so I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am fully able to accommodate any specific feeding schedules and administer any medications if required. I can provide the same level of service in your home as well, except I'll leave my doodle at home ☺️
About: I’ve raised dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, pigs, and taken care of other people’s dogs for awhile now. I love all animals and figured I could use my free time to help yours out! Im currently in between jobs so I have time. Long walks, cuddles, treats are all on the agenda. I really enjoy the company and love animals so much. Pups are safe at my home. So I’m available for day care, and possible overnights if discussed. Drop ins are no problem all day within a 10 mile radius of my work in Oceanside, and on weekends within a 15 mile radius of my home in vista.
“I was a little nervous, opening up my house and trusting my pet to a stranger, but Anna was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative, accountable, kept in touch and sent lots of pictures! My cat loved her! I think my house looked even cleaner than before after she left! Definitely keeping your contact, and will be rebooking in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.

“I needed a sitter last minute. And Chong was able to help. She had a fenced back yard which was great and someone was there all day to watch over my Bebe and the other dogs. Which I am appreciative of. Will definitely be scheduling more doggy sits in the future.”
“What a great experience! We left our 16 month old, 80 lb, high energy, Golden Retriever named Bailey with David, David's girlfriend Barbara, and his Golden Retriever Auggie. This was our first experience with Rover and Bailey's first time away from home. David was easy to work with and sent pictures and comments during the day. It was obvious Bailey enjoyed her play day. We look forward to working with David and his clan again. We highly recommend that you consider David for your furry family member's next doggy care need!”
“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
“Thank you so much, Roshanak! You took care of our baby Lucy like she was your own. You kept us informed, sent us videos, were very sweet and thoughtful, and were very flexible with our pick-up time. We will definitely reach out again when we are in town. Lucy loved staying with you. Thank you!”

“Easy pickup and drop off. Karalin helped me in a bind and always responded quickly with a puppy that’s a handful and did an excellent job taking care of him. She was very attentive and receptive to Bucky’s needs.”
“This was Dave’s first daycare experience. He is my grand dog. Sarah totally exceeded my expectation. Super fun backyard! Fun other dogs to play with! She brushed him so he was so soft when he came home and not is he tired! She is thoughtful and competent and we will be back !!”
“Michele was amazing! We needed a very flexible rover for day care services throughout our wedding weekend and she made everything so easy for us. She was a great communicator, provided us with updates and was so sweet to our pup!”
About: Dog mom of 25 yrs. Taken care of family and friends dogs as well. You're puppy will be given lots of attention whether be walking and/or playing, will be as happy or content as I can make the experience for them! I'm a stay home mom with my 12 yr old lab mix. We would love to have another companion join us for a walk down to our residential lake with paths and scenery. Play time is good in the house and doggy naps too! I have a very friendly dog and a fenced yard to explore new scents and perfect place to stretch out and take care of business.
“So thankful Amanda was able to watch my dog Maverick and my foster pup Jack at the last min while I had to run to LA for a work event. She lives close so I was able to do a meet-n-greet beforehand and the dogs were immediately at ease in her presence. When I dropped them off for daycare, they didn’t even notice I left - they seemed perfectly content at her home!”
About: Hi! I'm so excited to get to know your pet. I work from home full time and have a fully fenced-in backyard. I have experience with senior dogs (including my own 16 year old puggle!), administering meds, and puppies I work fully remote Monday - Friday, so I'm able to spend plenty of time with your pet based on your needs. Whether your pup loves long adventurous walks or snacks snuggles at home, I'm ready for it. I have a fenced in back yard and a walking trail right outside my house. My senior puggle gets along with any dog, cat, and human she's ever met!
About: **BASE ACCESS** and ranked Star Sitter ⭐️ Proud dog mom of two-- Elsie (boxer/husky, a tripod!, 13), Carlie (Golden/German, 8). I recently moved back to Oceanside, but have walked/petsat all of the furry/feathered friends full-time on Rover for a year in Colorado! You can find more client testimonials or cute pictures on IG under my business name: LittleChaosPetCo 😺 You can expect that your pet will come back from any visit with me safe, happy, and probably....very spoiled. So here's to the next chaotic adventure! 🤙🏼🌊 I do Rover full-time! I am available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks; please feel free to reach out, even if it's same-day. AND -- now offering boarding + day care! I have a big yard with a separate pen, so everyone's safe and happy at all times :) PLEASE NOTE: If you'd like to do a meet and greet and you're selecting "drop-in"'s, please select an additional drop-in for the meet and greet. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out and we can work something out :) So here's the thing. That older tripod boxer I have? She taught me every. single. lesson. a person needs to know to keep their dog safe. I am constantly scanning for other dogs, prey, physical obstacles etc. during walks and play time. I practice safe introductions whether or not your animal is familiar with the other animal we may encounter (neighbor, etc) because I'm also aware that their behavior might change from how they behave with their parent vs me! I think it's important your animal sees no change in their environment as far as trust/safety--their routine should stay exactly the same, if not with the addition of some more adventures!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Shelley! She is truly kind, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog, Jack, in her care. Her home is warm and welcoming, and it was clear right away that Jack would be comfortable and well looked after. Shelley treated him with so much love and attention, and we could tell he was in great hands the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Shelley again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Eric is great! He is respectful, punctual and good with dogs. My dog doesn’t usually let strangers come near her house but she welcomed some affection from Eric. I’m very happy, animals have a good sense of people and my dogs liked Eric a lot!”
“Lauren has been one of my regular dog walkers for a few months now and we couldn't be happier! My dog loves her and she takes great care of him, paying attention to the little things, like making sure he gets enough water. Shes a great communicator and flexible with my changing schedule. Cant recommend enough! Thank you Lauren!”
About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember, so taking care of them has always been second nature. My biggest accomplishment was puppy raising a future service dog with Guide Dogs of America for 1.5 years. That meant weekly training classes, lots of patience and consistency, and learning everything from good leash manners to ignoring distractions (he was better at it than I am). Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happiest—whether that’s long walks, playing fetch, or belly rubs! I have a flexible weekday schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, attention, and updates while you’re away.

About: I grew up with pets, and I take care of them as family. I want to extend that kindness to everyone’s pets. Thank you for picking me.

In my home, I feed my cat and dogs breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I play with both so neither are bored. I walk my dog for about 30 min to 1 hr.

About: Hello! My name is Savanna, I live in Vista but I’m able to travel reasonable distances to care for your pup! I’ve taken care of animals for over 7 years, including birds, cats and dogs (including seniors), rodents and reptiles, too! My services include grooming (ex, bathing, ear and teeth cleaning, brushing). I’ve even volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I also have experience with anxious pups, specifically dogs with separation anxiety. Unfortunately, due to physical health issues, I can’t walk dogs for more that 15 minutes at a time. Before coming to watch your furry friend, it’d be really helpful for me to know about their temperament; are they dog friendly? Do they get nervous around strangers? Do they have any health issues I should be notified of? And anything else you want me to know about them! I’m excited and eager to take care of your fluffy family member and will do my best to make sure they get the best care that I can give them! I am currently working a part time seasonal job at the Moonlight Amphitheater in Vista, nights are busy but I am extremley flexible otherwise and in the off-season. I do not currently offer my own in-home care services due to leasing issues and for my own dog's mental and physical health.
About: Weekly Volunteer at Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation: animal care (cleaning aquariums, caring for tortoise & it's habitat, feeding & caring for Bingo the pig); cleaning services (pig pen, brushes, windows, freezer maintenance). Weekend volunteer at Magic to tragic: Handled interactions with the puppies while customers were asking questions. Provided support with information on the puppies from Mexico to give the puppies a better life from being strays to finding homes. Supported the team by taking turns in walking the dogs. Working at the moonlight amphitheater since May 1st helping team members set up chairs escorting patrons who are in wheelchairs to their seats, doing security, back checks, customer service and also replacing trash bags and pushing the trash cart and doing ticket scanning and attending guest with chairs coordinating guests. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule due to the fact that mostly I work in the afternoons from 5:00 to 11:30. So in the mornings I'm open to walking dogs. Due to the fact that I'm free in the mornings since I work at the moonlight theater in the afternoons as a house attendant. I care for pets by drawing on my background with volunteer organizations like Agua Hedionda and Magic to Tragic, where my responsibilities included animal care, feeding, habitat maintenance, and taking turns walking the dogs. Since I am open in the mornings, I can provide dedicated care, exercise, and attention to pets in my client's home before I head out to my afternoon shifts.
About: I’ve been a dog walker for about a year and have my own little guy at home! I feel that pets are a true part of the family and require tons of love, care, and belly rubs of course! I am currently in-between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m looking for a part time job so that I can continue to see doggies on the side. I have a small back area behind my house where your dogs can play and potty. I also have my own dog at home, a 9 year old terrier mix, so if you need your puppy to stay with me, they’ll have to get along with other dogs. I can also crate dogs if necessary.

“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“The hardest part about being a dog owner is finding people you can trust when you want to travel. Whether it be out for the night or in our case, gone for the weekend. This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone from rover and couldn't be happier. We have an older pittie that isn't good with other dogs and a puppy that has lots of energy and is little over 1. Brianna and Charles put us at ease from the moment we dropped them off. They even kept us updated with photos and you could tell how happy the doggos were when we picked them up. We will definitely be trying our hardest to book with them when we need to book with rover again in the future.”
“Kimberly was so wonderful with our two doggos. They welcomed them into their home just like family. They enjoyed their stay based on the photos received daily and came back happy and healthy. I recommend Kim and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Sean & family (including their dog Zorian) were just wonderful dog sitters! This was a repeat booking with him and I certainly plan to use him again in the future. They welcomed my dog into their family and took great care of him!”
“David watched my dogs for two days. Both dogs have had some reactivity to different dogs/things so I was pretty nervous. David reassured me and was able to guide the dogs through a positive experience and one of them was even able to build new experiences with other dogs. It was such a wonderful experience!!”
“Michele is the best dog sitter! I could tell they were well taken care of by her and she gave them lots of love! She sent pictures every day and they looked so happy. I will definitely use her the next time I go out of town!”
“She took such great care of Lance! She was very responsive and kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible with our dates and times, and that really helped make everything work out. When I mentioned that Lance has separation anxiety and tends to bark when he hears other dogs barking, she immediately told me that she has a similar dog and is very familiar with the breed. That instantly made me feel at ease and confident that Lance was in great hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Lance again in the future!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great sitters for my dog! She sent me pictures periodically to show that my dog was doing great! It was clear to me that he was comfortable and enjoying his stay! I will defy items ask them to take care of him again.”
“Would highly recommend Katlin and her family to watch your pup! Ours was a tired pup when we picked him up and appreciated all the pictures they would send. She is very communicative and responds right away to any messages. Thank you again so much Karalin for taking care of our doggo while we were out of state!”
About: Growing up with dogs and missing my own, I am looking to help keep dogs happy, healthy and loved by walking, hiking, play and overnights care. My kids and I like to travel and understand how hard traveling can be when you can’t take them with you. I work full time, but will soon be off for the summer. I also have most weekends free and can drop in during my lunch if close to work. I have a great dog park near our place but prefer trails. Dogs that stay with my kids and I will be well loved and treated like family. We are a dog family but aren’t ready for another pup yet. I will be the one caring for your pet, but my kids will help give your pet lots of love, attention and belly rubs.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Brandy was warm and loving and provided us with a lot of updates on our dog. We will book with her again and recommend her 100%.”
“I am so grateful to have found Marcy. She was extremely attentive to my Honey and was extra patient and loving to her. She did all of my pups favorite things, including sharing walks with her sweet senior boy, Simba. She even let her cuddle with her in bed! Since it was my pups first time with Marcy, she was a little nervous at first but it didn't take long for her to come around because of Marcy's constant patience and gentle reassurance. Her home and garden is very pet friendly and safe as well. There is even a lake nearby that the dogs love. I will definitely be bringing my HoneyBear back for another visit with Marcy & Simba in the very near future.”
“So happy we found Darcey, she was a perfect fit for our girl Nola. Nola has had a lot of change recently with a new baby in the house and her brother passing unexpectedly. Nola needs one on one attention and Darcey provided that in a loving and safe environment for her. We got daily updates and messages with any concerns. Nola had the best time with Darcey! We have definitely found our dog sitter. Literally couldn’t be happier.”
“Melissa is incredibly sweet and attentive with my pups. Cares for them exactly the way I would. She is so Communicative and made me feel so comfortable leaving my babies in her care!”
“Danielle and Austin, as always, were incredibly kind and caring with Rocco! And I really appreciated the thoughtful pictures and details, they even left some treats for me and Rocco at my door! Soso grateful to have such loving neighbors like them.”
