3. David M.

“David was a great cat sitter for my two kitties! Always hard to leave my cats, but I felt peace of mind knowing David was on it. The hand off with key and instructions was easy, and he sent photos daily with an update on his visit. Also, my cats were very relaxed when I got home - like I never left! I will definitely be hiring David again.”


4. Dayoung L.
About: I have been taking care of animals since a young age. Both experience with animal and love for them makes me a good animal sitter. I'm looking to take of animals to make some extra cash but also to enjoy my time with spending with them. Because I don't have any school right now, I'm pretty flexible with time. I will care for your pet with love and care. I'm very responsible and will show up at the time required. Feed and play with them!

8. Pooya B.
“Pooya was my neighbor back in 2017 and an absolute lifesaver for Fluffy and me during that time. He was incredible dependable and providing excellent care. Fluffy clearly enjoyed his walks with him and I always felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I especially appreciated his flexibility and willingness to accommodate my schedule, even during holidays. He stayed with fluffy once during thanksgiving and once on Christmas eve. He also took fluffy to the vet once on short notice because I couldn't take him myself. I highly recommend Pooya to any pet owner seeking a loving and reliable dog walker/sitter.”

16. Eli G.
About: Hello, my name is Eli (He/Him). While I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to pet care! I used to have my own dog—his name was Jack, and I cared for him his whole life! I have experience with many different types of animals with various needs high and low and I aim to meet every one! In addition to that, I have experience caring for pets over extended periods, including walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them. I look forward to meeting your pet! At the moment, I have a flexible schedule! Don’t hesitate to message me the dates you need so I can work around both our schedules. I live in a house with a fenced in yard with grass, dirt, plants and lots of room for your dog to relax and play in!


17. Lula M.
About: I was raised with dogs! My first dog was named Greta, who was a German shepherd, she guarded our house, I remember she would also do her rounds, waking up at around 1 or 2 am, to check up on us. We then had Macho who was a dachshund and then we got another German shepherd named Mabel, both were very sweet, I also dog sat and dog walked for family members and close family friends. I’m a nursing student at contra Costa college, I do school part time, currently I have school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am free for sitting and walking on Tuesdays, Thursday’s, Friday’s, Saturdays, and Sundays. I know how to keep puppies entertained, and can care for elderly pets as well, I can give frequent potty breaks, give medicine, help potty train, and overall take good care of pets, unfortunately I can’t board pets in my home at the time, but I can sit for multiple days in a row if need be!


18. Kyle S.
“Kyle is great! He has lots of experience walking and training dogs and is super reliable. 10/10 I would recommend Kyle to walk your dog.”


19. vinit s.
“Vinit is devoted to the animals he cares for - and they all love him too. He is responsible and attentive to their individual needs. He has the kind of endless energy to wear out my cousin’s two young pit bulls throwing sticks (no minor feat!) and has gently helped my little chihuahua mix gain more confidence and social skills around other dogs. I have even seen him win over a friend’s seriously antisocial cat! I would strongly recommend Vinit - your pets will be a great hands.”


20. Elena M.

“Thank you, Elena! I appreciate your communication with me and your patience with June. I really loved the added bonus of seeing photos of her looking relaxed. Thanks!”
