About: Our own furbaby is dog reactive, so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to our furbabies! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dog. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!
“Thomas was an excellent sitter. He followed my cat’s routine very precisely and clearly put a lot of care into every visit. His communication was outstanding, consistent updates, thoughtful notes, and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He truly went above and beyond, spending extra time to make sure my cat was comfortable and engaged. I felt very safe leaving my pet in his care and would absolutely book him again. Really 10/10 Thaank you❤️❤️❤️🙏”
“We were very pleased with the service Jill provided for our kitties while we were away visiting with family for a few days before the holidays. She was nicely quick, professional and responsive when contacting her and providing her service.”
“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”
About: Both of my cats are 8 years old and happy. Before adopted them, I also did volunteer work of taking care of young kittens until they find home. I am confident to provide a safe and happy temporary home for your kitties. I am staying at home most of the time so I'll have plenty of time to tend to your cats' needs and keep them company. Our kitty tenants will not be bothered by our cats or kids since they will have a room to themselves. Toys, beds are provided, we also have water/food dispenser and litter box if you need. We also provide camera access if you'd like to check on your purrrr family member anytime.
“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”
“Victoria was wonderful! It was the first time we were leaving our 9 months old kittens for a long weekend, so we were a bit nervous. Victoria send us many photos and kept us updated on how the girls were doing. The kittens seemed like they had a great time in a loving family with plenty of places to roam. The drop-off, pick-up, and overall communication was super easy. Thank you for taking such great care of Almond and Peanut!”
“Anne is professional, kind, attentive, and most importantly, great with our kitties. She always send lots of pictures and detailed updates of our furry children. We've booked with Anne twice and will continue to do so as long as she's available for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Darcy was excellent. I appreciated her availability for a meet and greet beforehand, to figure out the details for her stay. She was easy to work with, professional, and clearly has a love for animals. My husband and I were able to sleep easy knowing Darcy was keeping an eye on our cats. We especially appreciated that she was able to hold down the fort when we were unexpectedly without cell service at the event we were attending. She was able to figure things out, and there were zero issues even though I was unable to answer her questions. I would have no hesitation asking Darcy back or recommending her to a friend. Thank you, Darcy!”
“Katherine took excellent care of my cats for approximately three weeks through drop-in visits. She is incredibly supportive, accommodating, and helpful. Her dedication to the pets is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond to resolve my litter robot sensor issues. Her exceptional skills are evident in her ability to perfectly fit the trash bags into the litter robot can. I highly recommend her services!”
“I would definitely recommend Siqin as a pet sitter, she was extremely kind and sweet with my cat, very responsible and helpful with everything that came up. Her updates her really fun and full of details and lovely videos and pictures. She was great!”
About: Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. 🐾 My Home & Resident Pets: I currently reside in Fremont, CA, in an apartment without a yard but with plenty of green spaces and parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly and well-socialized pets: - Cambria (Cambi): A 30 lb mutt born in August 2022, great with all dogs and cats. - Jupiter (Jupie): A 12 lb tabby cat born in 2019, excellent with all dogs and cats, and adept at gently correcting over-excitable dogs. Both Cambria and Jupiter can be separated from your pet by doors and doggy gates if needed, ensuring a comfortable environment for all. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾 I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾 I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾
“Jessica was so amazing. I had to request her very last minute due to a family emergency. She is an excellent communicator, she is reliable, and very pleasant. She went above and beyond what I could have asked for while watching my boy cat. I’m so happy and will definitely be requesting Jessica in the future. She even took in packages for me I didn’t even ask but was so grateful she did due to the mail theft in the area.”
“We had a great experience with Johnason. He followed all our instructions carefully and sent regular updates. Our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated his reliability and kindness. Thank you”
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
Brightside cat parents share their Rover experiences
Maryam was incredibly attentive and caring during the holidays. She visited Dora every day, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She even helped groom Dora and brush her fur, which I really appreciated. It was very reassuring to know that Dora was getting not just food and basic care, but also attention and companionship while we were away. I’m very grateful to Maryam for her patience and kindness, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.
