“Kirsten was extremely helpful with both a last minute booking and with dealing with a special requirement for keeping my two dogs separated. I felt very comfortable being out of town knowing she was checking in on them.”
“My number 1 and only cat sitter! Always reliable and even won over the heart of my very regal and not quick to accept anyone cat, elbows! Thanks for always being there to watch my babies while I’m out of town!”
“Crystal was great! She was so good with our dogs - got right down on the floor when she met them and they loved her. She had great communication and we will definitely use her again!”
“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and large dogs. I've been a pet owner myself for a little over a year now, but I've helped raise and entertain my siblings' dogs since they were puppies. Some of my proudest pet-parent moments include teaching my cat to sit and teaching my sister's German Shepherd puppy to roll over! I love spending time with animals and was even voted "Most Likely to Have 10 Dogs and Cats" in my sorority. I'm active, love being outdoors, and enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention. I'm also experienced with feeding, baths, and cleaning up after pets. Having lived with German Shepherds and Huskies, I definitely understand the shedding struggle! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am freshly post grad and taking the summer off to apply to medical schools, so I am able to do work remotely and my schedule is quite flexible. Hoping to spend time making new furry friends before jumping back into school :) When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect and attention I would want for my own. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying, which has taught me the importance of being dependable, communicative, and respectful of other people's homes. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so you can expect me to keep your home tidy while providing attentive care for your pets. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, make sure they get plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm also happy to provide references upon request. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a home that feels just as you left it.
“Ashely ways goes way above and beyond to care for my cat and home! Sweeping up litter, watering my plants. I always so appreciate her kindness help and my cat really likes her too.”
“Jennifer is an incredible sitter! We have had her watch our cat Charlie a few times and she goes above and beyond for him while we are away! She brings extra toys and sends the best photos of him and treats him like a pet or her own. We would recommend Jennifer over and over again”
“Collette is the most kind, caring, attentive, responsible sitter! Both of our cats loved her. She is incredibly patient and our shy & overly cautious kitty even loved her. :) We will be booking her again!”
About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Rebecca did an awesome job doing drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away for a long weekend. We loved getting pics every day and all three were in great spirits when we got home.”
About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“We were really nervous about going on vacation for two weeks, that was the longest we had left our dogs behind. Thankfully Jarrett made us feel so comfortable knowing he could handle our energetic big dogs. The daily updates were awesome. Not only did he follow feeding, walking and daily instructions but he went above and beyond for our fur babies. We cannot thank Jarrett enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for almost all my life! I am mostly accustomed to adult pets but additionally have some experience with puppies. I currently work part time so I am available to care for your pets! Can stop by for play-time, meal-time, or for a potty break. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with my time to meet your pets needs. I would to love to work with you to learn your pet’s personality and what things they enjoy doing in order to provide the best care I possibly can for them. I am very reliable and dependable.
“Our dog Luna loves Cheryl. We were impressed from the very first intro meeting how attentive Cheryl was to understanding our dogs patterns. Cheryl is lovely to work with and is so friendly. The updates we get after are so helpful.”
“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
Berkeley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Brittany took great care of our two cats! One of our shy cats even warmed up to her nicely and we could tell felt comfortable. Brittany was very communicative, responsive, and provided thorough updates with each visit. She went above and beyond to ensure our cats were treated like family. We arrived home to a tidy well kept home, and are thankful we had Brittany caring for our cats while we were away! Highly recommend Brittany!
Brian did an excellent job as usual checking on our cat while we were away and making sure that everything was in order. He took the time to play and interact with her, give her treats, and change her food and water. We are super appreciative of you Brian!
Alexa was an exceptional sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and treated my kitty Mango like her own. I really appreciated her frequent updates, her responsiveness, and the genuine care she showed. It’s such a relief knowing I could count on her while I was away! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! She’s the best!
