“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”

“Alex was great! Sent updates and photos every day. When I picked up Millie she was torn between going home with me and going back with Alex. I say that's a great endorsement! Thank you Alex!”

“Araceli did an amazing job with our dog Punky! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our dog's needs. Her home is also incredibly dog friendly--would definitely recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”

“Xochitl (and husband) were amazing! I’ve used a lot of Rovers over the years, and she is at the very top of the list. From the first time we met her, it was clear that they were dog people. One of our pups is super timid and can take a while to warm up. Not this time! These two must have the magic touch, sending multiple pictures of her accepting belly rubs and giving kisses. Just as awesome: Some sitters will just send ‘proof of life’ shots showing that they are walking the dogs. But Xotchitl sent daily pictures of them in and outside of the house and interacting with them personally. Overall, Xotchitl made us feel at complete ease while on vacation - which doesn’t always happen. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“David did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This was a first time for me using him as a dog sitter. He’s a very good communicator and it was helpful to have a meet and greet with my dog first. My dog got along well with his dog, Astro. I got plenty of updates during the stay with photos of my dog appearing to be very much “at home” at David’s. I look forward to using David as a dog sitter again in the future.”

“We've now left our dog Phoebe with Michelle a few times and each time, she is so reliable and wonderful with her. Prompt, gives updates, super affectionate - everything we hope for in a sitter. Thanks, Michelle!!”


“Sarah and Taylor were fantastic! We got so many updates and photos throughout the weekend. They took really good care of Gimli and we could tell Gimli had a blast. Highly recommend these two!”

“Mihaela was such an amazing sitter. She sent us the best updates with so much detail every time. Our puppy Ollie seemed so happy the whole time and when we picked him up he was very happy as well. We couldn’t be more thankful for Mihaela and how caring and thoughtful she was with our puppy!”

“My son is new to the area and needed to be gone overnight. We don't[ know anyone in the city so we opted to find someone on Rover to help. Phillip did an awesome job with my son's dog. He was extremely accommodating and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Cato went on plenty of walks and got lots of fresh air. I will definitely use Phillip again, he is an amazing dog sitter and Cato was well taken care of.”

“Mariana was an outstanding sitter. She was very attentive and communicated great. My pup did not want to leave her side. I would highly recommend booking her for your fur baby.”

“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”

“Ben was awesome! He took this last minute booking so my dad was able to enjoy the city with us while Dexter, his dog was safe and sound. Ben communicated with us very quickly and accommodated a last minute change of plans. With use again!”
“My chihuahua came to stay with Serenity over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was excellent. We did a short meet and greet. I received several updates a day with pictures and details about walks, meals and cuddles. I can tell my little fur baby had the best sleepover. Thank you Serenity 🩷”

“We’ve left our dog, Jenkins, with Melanie a few times and each time she has been great! Easy to communicate with, sends us frequent updates, and Jenkins loves going to her place.”

About: Hi! I am a dog lover with experience caring for pups of all sizes. I grew up around big dogs and have also fostered which taught me the importance of structure & a calm environment. I now offer care through Rover to create a safe environment where your pup feels at home I know how important trust and communication is when leaving your dog with a new human. I’m committed to keeping you updated along the way! I’m currently working from home, so I have time to take your pups out for midday walks and potty breaks. Outside of work, I have an active but flexible lifestyle that can accommodate your dog’s needs. I am happy to tailor my care for your dog’s needs and incorporate any special toys or tools you provide. Throughout the day, Your pup and I will alternate between walks around the nearby parks, playing in the living room, and cuddling while I work. I don’t have any dogs at home, but if your dog likes to socialize, there are plenty of neighborhood dogs and dog parks nearby.

“Whitney is kind with great communication. It seems she took very good care of my girls and that makes me happy. I searched for the perfect sitter for months before booking Whitney and I’m happy to say I’ll continue to hire her. Thank you!”

We had a wonderful experience with Ahnamia! She took such great care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very attentive to his needs, including using his wound care spray and following his feeding routine carefully. When we picked Dolce up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciated her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals. We would absolutely trust her with Dolce again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy!

Araceli was very professional and careful. I could see from the photos that my dog was comfortable with Araceli. Communication was quick and clear, and she was careful to understand the feeding/walk/care routine. My dog will definitely stay here again if Araceli has openings next time I travel…I might need to schedule travel around her availability!

Ava was wonderful! She was super quick to respond, and gave me updates about Poppy throughout her stay. I could also tell she really enjoyed Poppy's company, so I know Poppy had a great time as well. I'd absolutely book with Ava again, she was so sweet and caring!

Cole was fantastic with my dog Molly. He made the entire process incredibly easy from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout my trip with regular check-ins and did everything he promised. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Cole again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

So grateful to Ilsa for taking such great care of Leo while we were gone for 3 weeks. We arranged a half day trial before the trip to make sure it was a good fit and he would get along with her other pets and Ilsa was super communicative. While on our trip, she truly treated him like her own and sent us photos and updates throughout the time he was with her. She is someone who is so loving and knowledgeable with pets and I highly recommend her!

We had a great experience having Matthew watch our dog Beans for a whole week while traveling abroad. I'm always worried about Beans being in a new environment because she has a lot of reactivity issues but Matthew handled her with great care. We got multiple updates and communication was easy. Super grateful to find someone we can trust with our beloved Beans. <3

Brittany was wonderful! She has a backyard with plenty of space for our pup to run around and play, and it really seemed like he had an amazing time. She kept us updated consistently throughout his stay. It was clear Guillermo was well cared for and happy. We can't wait to have Brittany dog sit for him again in the future!

Mo and Eugene were wonderful as sitters for my elder dog. Giddy requires full-time attention and especially so since he was recovering from a UTI. Mo and Eugene went above and beyond, providing exceptional care and love, including administering his daily antibiotics. They were highly attentive to his needs. They are excellent communicators, and I truly appreciated receiving regular updates, photos, and videos throughout the stay. I highly recommend Mo and Eugene; anyone would be lucky to book with them.
