About: The Ace Ventura of Rover, I love animals. I have taken care of pets for my family, close friends and friend of friends, from small cats to large dogs. I have Monday through Friday most weeks free while I’m studying throughout the week. I’m pretty active so I love going outside frequently for walks, getting fresh air and enjoying nature. I am very organized, clean and mindful. I’ll respect your home and space and do my best to leave it better than I found it.

We can tell Daisy had a wonderful time, and we would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter!”
“Wonderful with our little old girl . Took great care of her and sent adorable pics letting us know how she was doing during her stay. Responds quickly to texts which is a plus ! Highly recommend and will definitely use again for our puppers !”
“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.”

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 took great care of my cat Max who is diabetic for the whole week. Shawn did a wonderful job with Max; arrived as scheduled, followed instructions accordingly and provided much love and attention to Max since I was not here to give him what he needed. Shawn even took it upon himself to vacuum on his last day; very unexpected and amazing that he would think to do this! I am totally impressed by Shawn. Thank you Shawn! I highly recommend Shawn to care for your beloved pet! Best, Diane”
About: I’ve lived with very large to very small dogs all my life and care for exotic pets such as snakes and rabbits. Through waitressing and EMS volunteering, I’ve developed a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility that will make me an excellent pet care worker. I currently go to school full time at Harrison high school until 3 pm on weekdays, but will have full availability on weekdays and weekends over the summer. I can currently work all day on weekends and every day after school on weekdays. I will always ask pet parents for a list of specific rules and guidelines to ensure that I provide the best possible care, including instructions for medications and emergency contacts.
“Catie took excellent care of our 2 cats. One of our cats has special needs with a feeding tube in place. Catie learned how to administer medications thru the feeding tube. She picked it up quickly and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She kept us updated with daily feedback and photos. She’s trustworthy and reliable as well as being very skilled at handling challenges which can happen with finicky cats like ours. Would highly recommend to others and will use her again.”
“Hanaya watched my cat over a long weekend. She arrived on time for each sitting and let me know when my cat had an issue and she swiftly handled it. She also responded to texts very quickly. Thank you Hanaya!”
“Brooke cheerfully agreed to do last minute drop ins for me over the Christmas holiday. She was prompt, reliable and sent me pics of my cat every time she came. I am very happy to recommend Brooke’s services, and will certainly ask for her again myself.”
“Anna is a true animal lover! She came prior to her 1st visit to meet my cat and she also met my 2 puppies and they loved her! My cat that is very shy and reserved, was really happy to see her while we were away. I’ll be definitely asking for her help again!”
“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.”
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.

“First time trying Rover. Yuri was great. Great communication all throughout. She had another dog over and she asked if it was okay before accepting the booking. She sent pictures and videos during playtime and walks. I Will definitely use again!”
“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.”
“Our two big girls had a great first stay with Amy for “daycare.” Amy provided me with excellent support in planning our visit and during the stay. She has a lovely home with a fenced yard. Our dogs were in great care, and she had complete command of the pack. They were excellent and tired tonight at our home. I highly recommend Amy for a daycare stay.”
“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! :)”
“Shane was great! His responses were quick and he even provided photographs periodically, which I really appreciated as this was the first time leaving my puppy with somebody for an entire day. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Simone and Sean treated Buddy like their own. He played, went on several walks and had a good time, they even shared a video. They are The family I have been searching for finally. I will Be requesting to book again.”
“Karine was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and she allowed us to feel extremely comfortable leaving our anxious dog for the day. She is very knowledgeable, warm, and understanding of the needs of pets. She even had homemade lamb treats for the dogs she was watching! Her home and backyard are both super dog friendly. Karine was active over text and sent a bunch of pictures during our pup's stay. I will absolutely be reaching back out to her 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!
“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
“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!!”
“Our dog Matcha seemed to love her stay with Tatiana! She had plenty of other dogs to spend time with and not worry about how she wasn't at home. If you have a furry friend that doesn't like being home alone for extended hours, I'd recommend Tatiana.”

“Tara is so sweet with our two dogs. She quickly has become our regular, go-to sitter/walker, and I cannot recommend her enough. Our two dogs are not the easiest. They aren’t fans of others dogs, and they are very different in size & personality. I trust Tara completely with them. She is a true dog & animal lover. Tara always sends updates & pictures. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me, and I am thankful for Tara & her excellent 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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Victoria is wonderful! My place is a bit in the middle of nowhere and she’s the only sitter I could find who was willing to commute here to walk the dogs. I’m taking care of my dad and can’t leave him alone, so it was a huge lifesaver to find her. She sent the cutest videos and pictures. Highly recommend!!”
“Andrew is very caring and my pup loves his walks and playtimes with him! Andrew has a lot of positive energy and Luchi immediately responds to that special vibe that Andrew brings with him. He is very considerate and helpful and in the space of the past year that he has been walking my dog I have been helped by him in various ways with regard to Luchi’s care. I highly recommend his services and am most appreciative of the bond that he has built with my pup.”
“Tatiana was so great with Oliver! This was their first walk together and we could tell that he loved her! She made sure he got plenty of exercise while also giving him some breaks due to the heat. Highly recommend Tatiana!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, from pittys to shih tzus. I also worked at a dog daycare facility for about 2 years. I’ve also watched friends and families dogs and cats throughout the years, I figured I would extend my network further on Rover! Excited to watch your loved one next! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and available before or after my 9-5 Tuesday-Thursdays. I am lucky to be a morning person, and have my own car for ease of access. I always care for others homes like my own, even better at times. I also love to leave the space better than I found it. I am grateful for the trust you leave with me for your fur baby and your home.
About: From the second I entered this world I have been surrounded by pets in my animal loving home. I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and understand the importance of giving every animal the love and care they deserve. Recent years away at school have left an empty space in my heart as there are no pets on a college campus. I am hoping to help fill this hole by helping others care for their pets! I am very active and can easily keep pets entertained while also balancing the responsibility of pet care tasks. I have almost full availability as it is the summer and would love to fill that time up with some animal love! I’m looking forward to caring for your pet in any way it needs! I have practically entirely full availability and am very flexible when working with scheduling. I am able to care for as long or as short of a time as you need. I will of course always listen to the instructions and wishes of the pet’s owner and am able to use anything provided such as leashes, harnesses, crates, toys, food/water items, etc.
“Daniela was very responsive and flexible to tend to our pups for daily walks with very short notice. Our three dogs immediately took to her and seemed to enjoy her company. Would definitely hire Daniela again!”
“Shawn is easily the best walker I’ve gotten through Rover or the other dog walking apps. He arrives on time, responsive to messages, and leaves thorough reports after each walk. He even spends time working on training goals during the walks!”

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!!”
“Can't say enough good things about Judy! She watched our dog Squirt for almost 2 weeks and provided multiple updates and pictures each day. You can tell she truly cared about taking proper care of our dog, she took notes and asked questions about all of his needs. I have used a couple different sitters and she been one of the few who have followed my particular instructions to care for Squirt to a tee. We will definitely be using Judy again ☺️”

“Yvonne was great with our dog Chopper. We couldn't take him with us for the holidays and after a desperate search for the right match, we chose to board him with Yvonne. We were quite anxious to leave him behind for a week but from the start Yvonne was very accommodating, reassuring and great at communicating before and during boarding plus she patiently guided us through our first experience with Rover. Yvonne's house is very clean, spacious and has an awesome enclosed yard and safe neighborhood for walks. Her lovely dog Ziggy kept Chopper company and overall the process felt like leaving our dog with a good friend. I can highly recommend trusting Yvonne with your dog.”
“Valerie was a great host, very communicative and so caring with our boy. She took careful note of his needs, gave him lots of snuggles, and managed the interactions between him and any other dogs. She sent great pics and updates all week. I know Remus wants to go back again!”
