“Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!”
“Julie and Adam were AMAZING! They took such incredible care of Axel and we could tell he felt right at home with them. They have a lovely garden that he was able to enjoy - and they even gifted us some delicious greens that they’d grown! What gems they are! Axe is looking forward to seeing them again soon.”
“Thank you to Karen for a wonderful stay. Yoshi really appreciates her and so do we. We received photos and details about their activities every day and he was very happy when we picked him up. Karen is a straight shooter who will tell you what training may help with your dog. Thank you, Karen!”
“My animals are always so happy and healthy after a stay with Mariola! They definitely see it as their home away from home. I'll absolutely have them stay there, pretty much any time I leave town.”
“I’m so happy I found Eiko! I moved a lifetime of belongings from San Francisco to Oakland and had my dachshund stay with Eiko for a week. Eiko and her family provided me with the peace of mind I needed to get through the move. She sent regular photos and updates which conveyed a very happy dog. I highly recommend Eiko and won’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Another great stay with Radha, Jimmy and family! Abby loves it there and was actually pulling at the leash to visit last time! It’s very comforting for us to know that she’s not only well cared for, but also really happy and familiar there. Thanks!”
“Banksy had a wonderful time with Claudio! Claudio is kind, caring, and really listened when I dropped Banksy off for his first time with him. Banksy seemed really comfortable, and was relaxed and happy when I came to pick him up. He'll definitely be back with Claudio the next time we have to go out of town without him!”
“Danielle was amazing!! Took such great care of our pup Rosie, kept us up to date with plenty of pics and videos. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else and we are so incredibly appreciative of Danielle’s care and attention.”
“We deeply appreciate that Scooter is well loved and taken care of. We never have to worry if he will be okay. Yuko and pack treats him like their own. We are thrilled to say we have found Scooter’s trusted & preferred people to leave him with when needed.”
“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”
About: Hi! I’m Ana a lifelong animal lover and the heart behind Ana’s Pet Sitting & Dog Walking. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I know that pets are family—and I treat each one as if they were my own. Whether it’s a brisk midday walk, a weekend of pet sitting, or simply keeping your furry friend company while you're away, my goal is to provide reliable, loving care you can count on. I’m fully insured, trained in pet first aid, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for your pet. From energetic pups who need to burn off steam to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I customize my services to fit each pet’s unique personality and needs. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! When you choose me for your pets you're not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining a trustworthy partner who cares deeply about your pet's health, happiness, and routine. I’m a recent graduate and currently dedicating my time fully to pet care, which means I have a flexible and open schedule. I’m available for early mornings, midday walks, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. Whether you work long hours, are planning a trip, or just need help during the day, I’m here to support you and your pets with consistent, dependable care. 🐾 Fenced Yard Playtime Your dog will have access to my fully fenced, secure yard where they can safely run, play, and enjoy fresh air under close supervision. 🐾 Multiple Walks Per Day Dogs in my care enjoy several walks each day to get the exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 🐾 Doggy Adventures I love taking dogs on fun outings to local parks and nature trails for extra enrichment, sniffing, and socialization (with your permission, of course!). 🐾 Cat Care & Playtime Cats receive plenty of affection, interactive playtime, and enrichment to keep them relaxed and entertained. 🐾 Tasty Treats With your approval, pets enjoy healthy, pet-safe treats during their stay or visit—because a little extra love goes a long way!
“Luffy really has a great time with Kianna and her family. He gets lots of love from her children and I love seeing all the photo updates! As always, thank you for taking such good care of luffy.”
“Misa was an extremely warm and kind person. I instantly felt comfortable leaving my 13-year-old chihuahua with her for the weekend. Misa sent updates and photos that provided additional peace of mind. She was also timely and responsive and made the whole process simple. I highly recommend her as a caretaker for your pet.”
“Te’Arie was great with our maltipoo pup, who can be a bit on the nervous side when first meeting people and other dogs/cats. She knew just what to do to make her feel comfortable during her weekend stay and I loved how she kept me posted on their outings (walks and nearby beach) and shared pics. You can tell Te’Arie has experience working with different personalities and is also just a really warm, caring person. Would definitely book with Te’Arie again and highly recommend!”
“I came to California with a 4 month old puppy for a wedding. I reached out to a few sitters on Rover. Porche was so responsive and communicative that she rose to the top of the list. “Meeting” her on a remote video chat, I knew I could trust her with my puppy. I could not be happier with my puppy’s care. I would not hesitate to have her sit again. Your fur baby will be in great hands if you choose Porsche!”
About: Hi there! I'm Hannah, a lifelong animal lover with a big heart for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I had two amazing pups, spent years horseback riding, and even started my own little pet care business when I was just 10. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. While I don't have a dog of my own right now (city life and budgets, you know how it goes!), I’m on Rover to both help save for my future pup and to get my daily dose of tail wags and fresh air. Being around animals genuinely brings me so much joy and has always been a great boost to my well-being. I’ll treat your dog like my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of love. Whether they need an energetic walk, a slow stroll, or just a reassuring buddy while you're busy, I’ve got you covered! Let’s get those paws moving! 🐾 Right now, I’m in between jobs, which means I have the gift of time—and I’m choosing to spend it doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. While I’m not currently boarding pets in my home, I always make sure it's a safe, clean, and calm environment anytime I welcome a furry guest. I create a cozy space where pets can feel comfortable and secure, with plenty of room to relax, play, and enjoy their stay. I stick closely to their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—because I know how important consistency is for animals. I also make sure they get lots of attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day, whether that's through gentle play, relaxing cuddle time, or a peaceful walk. My priority is making sure each pet feels at home—even when they're away from home.

With years of hands-on experience—she’s a natural with dogs and will care for each one as if it were her own.”
