“Heleen was incredible!! She was super dependable and I felt at ease knowing my dog was being taken care of. My dog took to her right away and I was very comfortable with having her drop in to feed and take her to the bathroom while I was on vacation. Very happy and will definitely keep booking with Heleen. if I could give 10 stars I would. :)”

“Fantastic sitter! Our Coco was so happy XInzhi! XInzhi was very attentive and cared for Coco - made sure she had a great potty break, drank some water, and had some time to sniff and walk. Highly recommend!”

“Suzanne was great and easy to connect with. The cats actually came out when she was here, which never happens when people cat-sit! Thanks, Suzanne!”

About: Hi there! I'm Alice, a devoted dog lover and caretaker. With 20 years of life experience raising three wonderful pups in the past, dogs have always been an integral part of my life's journey. While my current pup is a cream-colored Frenchie (resides in China currently), I love all breeds and sizes. I started my Rovers journey (once called DogVacay) in my college years and reactivated again recently. since then I've had the pleasure of caring many personalities of dogs, including those with specials needs/wheelchair/senior. Currently located at Bay Area Peninsula, I've opened my doors to offer a loving sanctuary for your beloved fur babies. I am home full-time, your pup will receive round-the-clock attention and affection. 3 walks a day and potty breaks in between. Whether it's a game of fetch in the dog park or a relaxing walk along the trails, your furry kids will be in excellent hands with me. So, if you're seeking a nurturing and trustworthy caregiver who will treat your furry family member as one of their own, look no further! I will be constantly sending picture and videos to you so that you feel comfortable and updated. 🐾 note: must be outdoor potty-trained; no pet at home currently I’m at home full time, so I have the time and attention span to take good care of your pups! I would take three walks a day, dog park occasionally. I have a large house with no other pets or children. I can easily make an area for your dog as his/her own space. We have space for crate.

“Cecilia is WONDERFUL!!! Extremely attentive and thoughtful when it came to watching our dog Marco while we were on vacation. Absolutely recommend her!!!”

“Kyle walks my reactive dog weekly and they quickly became bffs. He is very punctual and alert on walks, steering my dog away from other dogs. Kyle always makes sure to send me updates and photos! He is trusted with feeding my dog a special diet and giving medication.”

“May took great care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We loved reading the rover cards and seeing the photos of our pets while we are away. Would book May again in the future! Thanks again May!”

“Dustin came over for a drop in visit today to take care of our rescue pup. Our pooch being a rescue and having a rough past has some behavioral issues and health complications. He isn’t the most friendly and takes time to warm up to people. Dustin was absolutely amazing . He followed every instruction to the tee . He was able to gain Tanner’s trust pretty easily , gave him a good walk and fed him as per the instructions. He also made it a point to send us plenty of pics which I very much appreciated . It put my mind at ease . We definitely recommend Dustin He is super easy to talk to , responsible, responsive and most importantly very reliable .”

“Paul has taken care of my dog multiple times over the last 3 years. He would be perfect for rover. I trust him with my life and more importantly my dog”

“Emmy went above and beyond to take care of our adult cat and our two foster kittens. She was extremely communicative, and took time to send detailed updates of all three cats and pictures of them playing. She kindly helped clean up after our two foster kittens when they had accidents in the first couple of days, and also looked after them after they got spayed and neutered. We came home to three very happy cats, so we can't recommend Emmy enough and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

“Amanda is great! She provides up to date information and really knows how to take care of our little pup. We felt comforted knowing our little Riley was in great hands. Would definitely rebook her again!”

“Marci's pet-sitting prowess is nothing short of miraculous! As I embarked on a 12-day adventure in Cambodia, leaving my two beloved cats and anxious dog behind, Marci stepped in as their guardian angel. From the moment she entered our home, it was evident that she possessed a special bond with animals. Her nurturing demeanor instantly soothed my anxious dog, who typically struggles with separation anxiety. Throughout her stay, Marci not only met their basic needs but exceeded all expectations by showering them with love, attention, and playtime. Her dedication to their well-being was unwavering, and she meticulously followed their feeding and medication schedules. Despite being halfway across the globe, Marci ensured I remained connected through frequent updates, complete with photos and daily updates. I returned home to find my furry family not just well cared for, but positively thriving under her watchful eye. She even managed to find an unexpected lump on one of our cat’s notifying us so we can get it checked out. Marci's exceptional pet-sitting skills, coupled with her genuine love for animals, make her the epitome of a pet-sitting superstar! Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Marci to anyone seeking unparalleled care for their furry companions.”

“Peter took really good care of my cats, he checked on all 4 of them at house and cleaned really well the litter and gave them food, always sent daily photos of all the cats, I would definitely contact him again if we need someone to take care of our cats”

“Cat has watched my cats and my dog many times. She was always on time and very attentive to their needs. The cats loved snuggling up with her. She helped my dog learn how to walk on a leash and played many hours of fetch with her in the backyard. When she stayed in my home she was always very respectful. I highly recommend her.”

“Mara is marvelous :) She is reliable and never late. She truly loves dogs, in fact I think my dog might love her more lol ! Very much recommend her !”

“Benji is a thoughtful and caring sole who loves dogs. I left terrior, Marco, with Benji for 9 days while I visited Hawaii. Marco is a little high maintenance and suffers from seperation anxiety but photos and videos I received showed his settling in comfortably. Well, maybe too comfortably as he wanted to sleep in Benji's bed. Benji was relieved when he could say "Marco, Go to your bed" and Marco would obey.”
