“My dog Nicolo has stayed with Karine and Ryan for a few short stays which always went well. Recently, he stayed for a week and it was such a great experience for him and for me. Nicolo socialized with the other small dogs. Karine and Ryan are such gentle people with great knowledge about dogs. He got his meds, lots of attention and affection. In addition to being kept safe and having his physical needs met, I feel he really benefits mentally from staying there and I am relaxed and not consumed with worry. Karine always kept me updated with texts and pictures and let me know of any issues. I hope to always leave Nicolo with Karine and Ryan when the need arises.”
“Elizaveta was wonderful with our dog! She is warm, genuinely loves dogs, and was very flexible with scheduling. We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Tofu had a great time boarding ! He loves playing with other dogs - so was great that he got along with all of Alexis dogs! In fact he had so much fun he refused to leave and even jumped out of my car to go back 😂. Was nice to see him happy while we were away and will certainly book again!”
“Ari and his family took wonderful care of Freddie while we were away. He came back happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time playing with their kids. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely use their services in the future.”
“Robert was awesome and made sure my pup Blue had as much fun as possible. He gave him exactly the care, attention, and exercise he needed playing with other dogs. The updates about how much fun he was having gave me great peace of mind. Blue came home happy and tired. Will happily book with Robert again.”
“Juan was great! Was our first time leaving our pup (She’s 1 and a half) and he answered all of our questions and was very patient. Juan sent us many photos during her stay (even though it was only one night) which we really appreciated. My dog seemed to take a liking to Juan and the environment was fun and playful. He’s very trustworthy and I would leave my dog with him again!”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Aurora was right at home during her stay and I was worry free! From the moment I met Saiad and he showed us around I knew Aurora would be in good hands. Clean and attentive- making sure to share photos and details of Aurora’s stay. It was just the safe, happy stay we required.”
“Kevin and his family are super great with our pup! This was the second time she stayed with him. He made sure she felt more comfortable as she gets a bit homesick. We will definitely ask him to take care of her again. Highly recommended!”
“Doreen has cared for Lola three times now, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog as if it were her own, Doreen is that person. She is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Lola was in such caring hands gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
“First time we ever had to leave for a whole month and could not take Hattie with us. So happy to have found Nina and Augustine. Their little family took Hattie right in and gave her a home away from home. Hattie and Clementine just hit it off too. Constant photos and videos of Hattie that made us wonder if she might get bored when we took her back home. If you are looking for a relaxed family atmosphere for your dog with a built in playmate in a safe place look no further. Recommend very highly.”
“Judy was amazing! It was Chief’s first time with her and he fell in love! Super communicative- great with updates and photos! We can’t wait until Chief gets to stay with Judy again!”
“Blanca is an absolute pleasure to interact with, she clearly loves the pups and seeing them happy makes her happy. Blanca watched our 2.5 year old Maltipoo for 7 days and kept us apprised of his stay with many adorable pictures and sweet texts. Banksy looked like he was having the BEST time with Blanca, and he can be very shy and suffers from separation anxiety when apart from Mom & Dad. We highly recommend Blanca for anyone who cares deeply for the well-being and happiness of their pup while traveling. She is the best dog sitter we’ve ever dealt with - hands down.”

“This is the third time we’ve had Tara drop in to watch our cat Luna. She’s wonderful! Highly recommend. Prompt communication, came through with a very last minute request, just overall great.”
“Jalyne is responsive and very kind! My cat took to her immediately. She goes above and beyond to pay attention to detail and follow any directions requested. I really appreciate that about her. Will be using her again. Thanks Jalyne!”
“Alyssa and Michael were amazing when my diabetic cat Ziggy was not being a "team player" - they were super patient and helpful and really went the extra mile to make the situation work and helping to get Ziggy comfortable. Very reliable and trustworthy - thanks!”
“Drew took amazing care of my cat Lola while I was away on vacation. This was my first time using rover and he immediately put my mind at ease! He had great communication and sent daily updates.”
About: Over thirty years of cat companionship, and not a single one of my cats arrived by my own design. The Cat Distribution System has excellent taste. My current household includes two cats: Gretchen and Ice. Gretchen came to me as a tiny feral kitten I pulled from under an abandoned car. She went on to live a full and varied life — including a stint as a working mouser on a goat farm — and has now retired into a life of quiet domesticity, which she has fully earned. Ice is a chonker with tummy trouble who would simply rather not. We love him against his wishes. I can handle all the usual care — feeding, litter boxes, playtime, cuddles if your cat is into that. I'm also comfortable giving pills and injections, which not everyone can say. And after three decades of cat companionship, I know cat behavior well enough to tell the difference between a cat just being a cat and a cat who actually needs a vet. That distinction matters, and I won't miss it. Your cat will be in good hands. Even if they pretend not to care.
“Shawn was wonderful with Max. He took great care with his feeding and insulin injection; he kept to the schedule Max is on… arrived on time and had some playtime with Max. This was my first experience with Rover and was very pleased. I highly recommend Shawn to care for your little furballs! Thank you Shawn!”
“Carol did an excellent job of taking care of my cat, Smokey. She was very responsive and helpful in all steps of the process. This was the first time for me using Rover and I am very thankful to have found someone reliable nearby for when I am away from home.”
“Claudia was fabulous! She took great care of our boys. While we were away she kept me updated every day with text and photo updates and ensured she always responded in a timely manner. We came home to a tidy house with two very happy cats! Would recommend.”
“Jacqueline is not five but six stars! She truly goes above and beyond! She’s not only reliable—sticking to our schedule perfectly for 10 days, even on Christmas, or during a snowstorm, and freezing cold—but also a sweet, pleasant person to deal with. Her excellent communication, updates, and heartwarming cat photos eased our anxiety as first-time users leaving our fur babies. She’s now “our” cat sitter. Highly recommend her! Thank you from the heart.”
“Andrea was a fantastic cat sitter! She kept me updated with every drop-in, and sent me tons of photos too! She not only made sure that my cat was taken care of, but spent time just hanging out and making her feel loved! I know that my cat was in great hands, and I will be rebooking in the future!”
“Emmily is great! She really cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about pets. She pays attention to detail and is patient. She makes sure my cat eats slowly and gives him the attention and affection he needs! I feel very comfortable leaving my pet knowing she will be cat-sitting him.”

If I’m in a client’s home, I’m always respectful and keep things tidy. I also like to send updates and cute pictures so you can see how happy your pet is while you’re away.
“Iris was a godsend for us! This was the first time using a petsitter for our 3 cats and Iris was much more than we expected. She took excellent care of Tiger, our senior cat with health issues and entertained our 2 younger and shy cats. By the end of the week Rocky was sitting in her lap! We can't say enough positive things about Iris, she was the best! Anyone using her won't be disappointed.”
“Euree is an awesome sitter! Quick communication and everything went smoothly including the initial greet and meet. Even though my cat is super shy and immediately goes into hiding upon seeing strangers, Euree always made an effort to find him and include a photo to let me know Mocha is doing well. Will book again in the future :)”
About: I am a junior at Cornell University home for the summer and I love animals! My own cat Tucker is now 6 years old and we have had him since he was 6 months old! He is very high maintenance for a cat, however it has given me good experience. I taught him how to high five, and I cat sit for other clients! I am familiar administering oral medication for cats.
About: I had a family dog since I had a baby he was a dachshund and lived for 18 years. I have dog sitted before in middle school with my sister and it was great having to take care of cute dogs. I know how to handle dogs. I am currently working part time so I have time to take care of dogs and can walk them in the morning before I go into work. I am very cautious when taking care of dog before walking them I will check if their collar or harness it tightly secured (not too tight) so they won’t slip away.

About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.
“Karine is WONDERFUL! I was very anxious to drop off my dog Harry in a new place, but he had a BLAST! He seemed to really come out of his shell at Karine's. Karine also was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and informative throughout the booking process & while Harry was at her home. As an anxious dog mom, she was the perfect sitter!”
“Rowan had an amazing time at Ari & Karen’s! He was neutered just a week ago so he needed some extra care - they did a great job helping him with the recovery and making the day enriching for him at the same time! Rowan also loved short walks in their big yard - can’t wait to bring him back after he recovers so he can run around in it next time! :)”

I have a strong interest in animal nutrition and understand the importance of maintaining consistency in a pet’s daily routine to support their overall well being. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I have several years of grooming experience. My building includes a dedicated pet grooming facility, allowing me to conveniently offer grooming services while pets are in my care.

“Sasha had a great day with Diana (and Wendy). Diana sent updates and photos throughout the day and took great care of Sasha who is very attached to me but seemed really happy to be with Diana too. She was very patient with Sasha too. We will be back for sure.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you're away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, and training. I have two dogs of my own, including my sport dog, with whom I've earned a PSA PDC. Training & handling dogs isn't just my passion, it's my lifestyle. I'm comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an active day of play, a calm place to relax, or help reinforcing good manners, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. With my background in dog training and handling, safety is always my highest priority, creating a structured environment where every dog can feel confident and secure. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so you'll receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog's stay. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, overnight boarding, or training, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection in a caring home environment. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My schedule is flexible, working mostly from home, which allows me to also provide pick-ups and drop-offs. I have 3 Ruffland crates in my car to ensure your pet is safe during travel. I have a fenced in yard in my home. All dogs are kept safe in Ruffland Kennels inside the house until their scheduled / designated potty and playtime. I also take daily outings
“Had a great doggy daycare visit with Laura this week! Her attention to detail and genuine love of dogs is what has us coming back again. I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”
“Juan was great. After the first day our dog ran to the door in excitement when getting dropped off. The home had a lot of space and Lola was kept entertained throughout the day.”
“Richard was absolutely wonderful with Shade during her overnight boarding stay. He was incredibly communicative, patient, and genuinely caring the entire time. He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of. Shade came home relaxed and clearly enjoyed her time there, which says a lot about the environment Richard provides. It’s obvious that he truly cares about the dogs he looks after and treats them like his own. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Amy was so welcoming to our energetic dog, Banjo. We appreciated being able to leave him at her house for the day. He seemed to have a great time playing with the other dogs in her fenced in yard. We hope to use her again when we're in the area!”
“Catherine was fantastic with Achilles! He had a great day and came home happy and relaxed. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. I also foster dogs for a local humane society in La Mesa. I love doggy cuddles, long walks, anything to make a pup smile makes me smile. I work from home so I give lots of attention to my furry friends, as do my roommates! Unless your pet doesn’t like this, I love bringing them everywhere. Farmers market, to lunch, walks, the beach, I live an active lifestyle and I like having a partner in crime to bring along. I try my best to keep your pup on a similar routine to how they live with you. I want them to feel comfortable and excited to come stay with me!
“Peter was so helpful and wonderful taking our two pups for the day. This was our first Rover experience and it could not have been more pleasant. The dogs had plenty of outdoor time and stimulation and had a great time with Mocha. Peter was incredibly responsive and sent photos and updates throughout the day.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!

“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
“Tara walks our two dogs on a regular basis, and she also cares for them when we go out of town. She is excellent! She always communicates and lets you know what’s going on. We love that she sends us pictures of the boys. She also is able to tell when they are not acting like their usual selves.”
“Craig was great. He took my both my labs on a a walk for a few days on short notice. One of my dogs was a little under the weather and Craig was attentive to his needs. Craig communicated and showed the highest level of professionalism and positivity. I would highly recommend Craig.”
“Andrew is reliable, friendly and will take care of your dog as if it is his. His communication with the owner is great along with photos. Highly recommend Andrew”
“Shawn did such a great job with our Bo and made the most out of the 30 minutes with him! He was an excellent communicator and left us a great recap of their time together. I really appreciated the detail and care!”
“Saiad was great with Bella today. She was very shy at first but he waited until she was comfortable and was able to take her for a nice walk. Definitely will be rebooking! Thank you!!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life. I grew up with three dogs starting when I was 12, so I have experience with everything from managing puppy energy to giving older dogs the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs over the years, whether that meant walks, drop-ins, or caring for them while they were away. This is the first time since childhood that I’m living without dogs, and I’d love the chance to help care for yours like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are the best fit for me right now. That’s when I have the most flexibility and can give dogs more of my time and attention without feeling rushed. I live in a house with a front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and get fresh air. There are also several parks nearby, so walks and outdoor time are easy to work into the day. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.

Moreover, I have also supported families with introducing their new adopted cat to other animals in the home so everyone (all pets) can adjust to the change in a way that is the healthiest for all pets and humans involved in the introduction and change in environment.
“Victor is always great with our boys. We booked a last minute walk and appreciated that Victor was available. He communicates really well and takes beautiful photos.”
“Emmily was great with my senior German Shepherd dog who is pretty much losing his sight. She is a great communicator and took really nice pictures. I definitely recommend her.”
“Lina was absolutely incredible!! We have a pup who is nervous around new people (barking, growling, etc.) and we were so stressed about finding a walker. After having a bad experience with another walker, we found Lina and couldn’t be happier. She was so kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to make our dog comfortable. She even continued some of the training we had been working on. She will definitely be our first call if we need a walker again and we cannot recommend her enough!!”

I provide pet care in the owner’s home and follow each pet’s established routine and preferences to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Caring for pets in their own home helps reduce stress and allows them to stay in a familiar environment while you’re away.

“Tofu had a great time boarding ! He loves playing with other dogs - so was great that he got along with all of Alexis dogs! In fact he had so much fun he refused to leave and even jumped out of my car to go back 😂. Was nice to see him happy while we were away and will certainly book again!”
“Ari and his family took wonderful care of Freddie while we were away. He came back happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time playing with their kids. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would absolutely use their services in the future.”
“Robert was awesome and made sure my pup Blue had as much fun as possible. He gave him exactly the care, attention, and exercise he needed playing with other dogs. The updates about how much fun he was having gave me great peace of mind. Blue came home happy and tired. Will happily book with Robert again.”
“Aurora was right at home during her stay and I was worry free! From the moment I met Saiad and he showed us around I knew Aurora would be in good hands. Clean and attentive- making sure to share photos and details of Aurora’s stay. It was just the safe, happy stay we required.”
“Doreen has cared for Lola three times now, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog as if it were her own, Doreen is that person. She is kind, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs. Knowing Lola was in such caring hands gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”

“William was took care of our dogs and was intentional about making sure they had what they needed. He sent a video each day he had them and was great to talk to. Plenty of space for the pups and kids to play with them. We are grateful and would definitely work with him again!”
“Diane was an amazing sitter for our older dog! I cannot say enough good things about her. I could tell from the outset that Diane genuinely cared for my dog and wanted to give him the care that he needs. And while we were traveling, we received lots of picture and video updates, and could clearly see how well he was being treated by Diane. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her services!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Karen is a wonderful dog sitter, she gave our baby so much love and attention. She followed her schedule and it looked like she was right at home! She communicated throughout the days and took so many excellent pictures. Roxy misses her already!!”
“Laura was great from the first day we contacted her to the day she brought Caramel back home. She showed us the house, asked all the right questions, replied to our txts, sent pictures, super punctual and - most importantly- super caring with our Caramel. She is one of the best sitters in Rover for sure.”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“She was absolutely amazing! She accepted our booking at the very last minute and still took the time to keep us constantly updated on his behavior throughout the entire week. I am super grateful to have had her watch my baby doggy. Highly recommend!”
“Nandita was amazing! I loved working with her. She is super flexible and very communicative. Her dog Ozzy is the sweetest and got along so well with our boy 😊 I will definitely be booking with her again. I felt so at ease with her caring for our pup. Thank you again Nandita!”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Christina was awesome! Coby had so much fun on his week and a half vacation with Christina and has been happily napping for the last 2 days since returning home. Christina was very responsive and communicative and I will be sure to use her services again in the future!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you're away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, and training. I have two dogs of my own, including my sport dog, with whom I've earned a PSA PDC. Training & handling dogs isn't just my passion, it's my lifestyle. I'm comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an active day of play, a calm place to relax, or help reinforcing good manners, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. With my background in dog training and handling, safety is always my highest priority, creating a structured environment where every dog can feel confident and secure. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so you'll receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog's stay. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, overnight boarding, or training, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection in a caring home environment. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! My schedule is flexible, working mostly from home, which allows me to also provide pick-ups and drop-offs. I have 3 Ruffland crates in my car to ensure your pet is safe during travel. I have a fenced in yard in my home. All dogs are kept safe in Ruffland Kennels inside the house until their scheduled / designated potty and playtime. I also take daily outings
