“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”
“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.”

About: I adopted my senior chihuahua at 10yrs old and have a special place in my heart for seniors. I can give medication and extra care for those dogs that require extra attention. I recently lost my dog and would love to care for other dogs. I work from home with a flexible schedule and usually done with work in the early afternoon. I can take dogs out for potty or walk breaks as often as needed. I currently have no pets at home. I work from home with a flexible schedule and can take dogs out for regular potty breaks and walks.
“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”
“David is a great Rover. Patient, adaptable and loving attention for each pet. Plenty of places for your pet to hang, a big backyard and some exercise as well. Highly recommended by us and our pet. Woof. Woof.”
“Felicia was amazing with my dog, Beans! She was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, sent great pictures and updates, and took such good care of him. Beans is shy at first, but Felicia was patient and took the time to help him warm up. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Mariana took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was flexible and happily coordinated a complicated pickup and drop-off, making the process stress-free for us. Her communication was clear, she was easy to work with, and everything went smoothly. We really appreciate her help!”
“Daniela took care of my dog Mia while I was in Europe, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience.

I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”

About: Hey there, I’ve been taking care of dogs for 10 years now, and will definitely make sure they have all the attention they need! I’ve been around dogs all my life and know how to deal with dogs of all different sizes and ages as well. I’ve fostered 14 dogs before so I know exactly how to make sure they are having a wonderful time and are safe the whole time! I work from home and have a pretty relaxed schedule so I can take them out to the park/walks/jogs/car rides/ bathroom breaks multiple times a day depending on how much activity you would like your dog/dogs to get! My main goal is to make your dog/dogs as comfortable so they won’t even know their real mom or dad is not there. I have a ready to go kit for any small emergencies equipped with all the sprays bandages/or any small medical devices I would need. I have my primary vet on speed dial as well if any emergency should happen in which you will be immediately notified and kept up to date. I strive to make sure you and your pets are 110% comfortable with me and the environment they are in so they can feel safe at all times!
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”

This was my first time using this service we had to find a dog sitter at the last minute due to an unexpected emergency trip, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating during a stressful situation. Lucky, was well cared for and absolutely had a blast during his stay. One thing that gave me so much peace of mind was the constant communication. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which reassured me that Lucky was safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and love. It’s obvious they genuinely care about the pets they watch and treat them like family rather than just another booking. When I picked Lucky up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed his time there.
Nick did a great job with Clifton! We adopted our pup earlier than expected, and we needed a sitter to watch him for a few days just two weeks after we adopted him. Nick continued with the training and boundaries we had started. He also shared frequent photos and updates. We are so grateful and will definitely use him again.
I almost don’t want to leave this review because Anar is so fantastic and I don’t want her to get booked up so that my dog won’t have her at whim. Maya, my Doberman absolutely loves Anar and her daughter and their dog Bella. She comes home, happy and healthy and secure. I’m so grateful.
Hollyanne and Donovan have been amazing. They have a great space and tons of love to give. Always plenty of updates and playtime. I always feel comfortable having my dog there and I enjoy getting all the pictures of their daily activities. Great Rover! Highly recommend.
Jimmy took great care of our very energetic pup! He sent great updates while we were on vacation which brought comfort while being away. He was also very accommodating with drop off-pick up times and extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend Jimmy for you pup sitting needs!
Denisse was great with Logan, being flexible and pivoting to make him happy when he decided to pout hard when we left on vacation. She was very communicative and I had an easy time with making contact with her throughout Logan’s stay. She had a sense of humor when it came to my quirky guy! All needs were met and Logan was very happy with his stay, giving Denisse kisses goodbye when we picked him up. I would absolutely use Denisse again if Logan needs a sitter.
Andrew was amazing! Benson had the best time there. I could tell Andrew and his home were the perfect fit, he really loved Benson and kept me updated with pictures. It's most important for me that someone loves being around Benson and that was my experience with Andrew. Benson couldn't wait to go with him and was so happy while there. Andrew was reliable and responded very quickly. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Andrew!
This was Franklin’s first time staying with Xóchitl so he was a bit anxious the first day and night but she was communicative and kept me updated once he was settled in. She sent lots of pictures which showed he was having a good time cuddling and relaxing on blankets and begging for food 😛 she has a nice home and outdoor space was nice. Xóchitl was great!
Jordan was absolutely amazing with Chase. She provided frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. I’ve already booked my my dog’s next stay with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy! 🐾❤️
Felicia was amazing with our 13 year old dog, Oscar. He has a lot of anxiety and is very dependent on me especially in his old age, so we don’t leave him very often and are always nervous when we do. She updated us often with messages and pictures, gave him the best attention and care, and provided so much peace of mind while we were away. Oscar warmed up to her quickly, which is rare for him and really speaks to how comfortable and safe she made him feel. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We are so grateful for the care she gave our boy and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Felicia! 🐾💙
