About: For over 13 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs! I have 3 dogs at home myself, a Havanese poodle and two German shepherds! My dogs are on the older side and aren’t able to go on walks as much so I wanted to join Rover. When I’m away from home and miss my dogs, also volunteer at the animal shelter to do doggie day out and bring shelter dogs for walks and a pup cup. I pay careful attention to body language for dogs to make them feel comfortable. I just graduated from UCI so I’ve been readjusting back at home. When I get the chance, I love going out and trying the next big thing! When I’m home, I love playing with my dogs and snuggling up with them because they’re so cute I know safety and trust is the utmost importance so I will be sure to communicate with you if issues were to arise. I make sure that the area is familiar, safe and enclosed before letting a dog off-leash and walks are always on-leash. I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.
“Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !”
“All 5 cats were well taken care of, including litter boxes, playing with the cats, copious notes and photos. Also watered plants, which was great. So many great things, would use again.”
About: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and currently work part-time with a pet care company, where I help with walking and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’d give my own! ❤️ I work remotely part-time for a pet care company and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m excited to offer my own services as well and spend even more time caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their parent’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled safely, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.
About: I had my first dog at nine, but cared for friends and families’ pets before that to prepare myself. I’ve always been good with animals and would be honored to care for yours in your absence. I’m also decent at getting them to take any medication that they might need. I am in between jobs at the moment and have my own transportation so caring for your babies would be at the top of my priorities I will tailor care for your pets based on your needs and preferences. Let me know your pet’s routine so that I don’t disrupt it too much. I will, of course, use crates if needed, and doors and locks will always be checked.
About: I’ve spent three years caring for dogs through walking and sitting, providing safe, loving, reliable support tailored to each pup’s personality, routine, and comfort needs. With lots of free time in my daily routine, I’m able to focus fully on each dog I care for, providing steady attention, enrichment, and a peaceful, supervised environment. I provide a safe, reliable home where dogs can relax and feel supported. With frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and attentive supervision, your pup stays comfortable, happy, and well‑monitored.
About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! 9/7 Mon ( Labor Day): FREE ALL DAY I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs: Daycare/House sitting: None. Boarding: Drop-off after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking: Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Limited availability: 8/22: Free 5pm onwards. 8/29: Free 8pm onwards. 8/30: Free 5pm onwards. 9/5 Sat (Labor Day weekend): Free 3pm onwards. 9/6 Sun (Labor Day weekend): Free 6pm onwards. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through my open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!
About: After taking some time away from pet sitting, I recently moved back home and knew I wanted to start doing something I genuinely missed and loved — caring for animals! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and love how much personality and emotion they’re able to express without saying a word. I have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets through Rover, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, feeding schedule, potty needs, energy level, and any special care they may require. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather cuddle up and get belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m patient, affectionate, responsible, and always pay close attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems out of the ordinary. After all, they’re family members, too, and they deserve all the love, attention, and care we can give them. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness and care I would want someone to give my own!
About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.

Check-in visits can include: Feeding, walking, bathing, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, etc. Please feel free to ask for any additional services! I work from home Monday-Friday, so I am always available for any of your pets needs! My hours are very flexible and I can rush over to your pet whenever needed. I am free every weekend as well, unless my schedule is booked in advance. Check-in visits are super convenient and easy for both your pets and I. All pets will keep collars on during the entire stay (unless otherwise advised), and will always have leashes and/or harnesses on while outdoors. I make sure to update clients with pictures throughout the day as well as a daily rover card so you can keep track of your pets day 🫶🏼 I understand how important a pet can be to your daily life, and ensure you I will do my best to keep you in the loop at all times.
“Kate was great! It was easy to coordinate with her and she took very good care of my cat while I was away. Sent me photos/updates each day and overall I felt very good leaving the kitty with her. ?Looking forward to booking her again when I leave home next!”

About: I have been taking care of various farm animals, dogs, and cats since as long as I can remember! I’ve also had pets my whole adult life, spanning from dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles! I am currently a part time college student, which means before 7pm, I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I take care of others pets the same way I do, and i respect that as the important parts of families like they are. In my clients homes, I will make sure that their pets are able to have many different avenues of activity, while still keeping them safe, and providing the mental stimulation they need, meaning lick mats for dogs of any size, and different puzzle games for cats and dogs alike!

About: Hi! My name is Adrienne and my husband's name is Edgar & we are both at home full-time. We both have a very active lifestyle. Since adopting our pup Nigel back in 2017 we became the go to pet-caretaker for our friends and family. We both have experience pet/house sitting and dog walking all ages and sizes. Our single family home has a large grassy front yard and a fenced backyard. We have hosted up to 3 dogs in our home at once in addition to our 2 old pups (now 1 since the other has crossed the rainbow bridge). Our home is extremely dog friendly, where they are welcomed on all beds and couches. We have dogs beds in every room, a large fabric dog crate and a small guest bathroom that we can put puppy pads in if your pup requires it. We live in a quiet neighborhood and are a quick drive away from two parks, one with a newly renovated dog park. We love having the opportunity to interact with all pets through Rover. We mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on our free time, so we are flexible on cost and cancellation. For house sitting, I (Adrienne) will be the main one to do the stay, if you prefer Edgar please let us know. We understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies at home alone, and the look on their face when you leave is absolutely heart breaking. We'd love to keep them company while you're away! Your pets' safety and happiness is important, our goal is to create a stress free environment for everyone.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
Kimberly was wonderful with our cats, and I can’t recommend her enough. Her daily updates were so detailed and spot-on that each cat’s personality came through clearly in her notes, which immediately showed just how attentive she is. I was especially grateful for how she handled one of my cats who has ongoing sinus issues and needs their nose wiped regularly. Knowing she was willing to take on that extra care without hesitation gave me total peace of mind while away. I came home to a clean house and happy, relaxed cats. Kimberly is incredibly reliable and compassionate. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Our first Rover experience went stellar! Ivana is responsive, kind and so loving! Our pups were completely comfortable with her! Highly recommend Ivana for your pet sitting needs…looking forward to using her again in the future…5 stars aren’t enough..10000/10 experience 💕💕
Dani is amazing! She took great care of our cats and made sure they had clean water and food whenever she came. Even though one of our kitties was scared, she gave such great love to the one kitty that came out. Thank you so much Dani for taking good care of our boys!
Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !
Lia was an excellent communicator throughout the petsitting process and made me feel very safe about leaving my beloved cat son in her care! She clearly loves animals and knows a lot about how to care for them—including those with special medical needs. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future and would highly recommend her care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
