“Christine was great with Annabelle—she took care of extra details, like checking her allergy symptoms and adjusting the air filter and windows. She turned on the heating pad as I requested and wrote detailed reports. She is competent and communicative. I came home to a happy cat. Couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“Thaina did an amazing job watching my cat, Taz! She was attentive, kept in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and treated him amazing while he was in her care. I feel relieved knowing I have someone like her to depend on when I have to leave!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and relatives have relied on me for walks, feeding, and grooming. I enjoy taking care of pets(in general) because I love seeing their personalities shine through and it’s rewarding to see them enjoy their time with me. As always I make sure the care I give is the same a their owners because I want to make sure the routine doesn’t change. I work from home which is convenient because my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually free in the afternoons from Monday to Wednesday (1-7pm). Thursdays are my busiest days at work as I have meetings all day until 5pm. And most Fridays I’m free as well(10:30am-6pm) When doing visits, I will be attentive of your pet and their environment at all times. Every visit I’ll make sure they’re well fed, water is fresh, and play with them as needed. Please let me know if there are specific instructions that I need to follow when I’m at your residence. I’m by a school and a neighborhood park where walking dogs is pretty common during the day so I would plan to walk around that area (unless suggested otherwise). I’m also familiar with a bunch of parks that are dog/pet friendly in the peninsula so your pet will always be entertained and safe in my care.
“Travis is a wonderful cat sitter. I had booked visits with him over the Thanksgiving break and was so happy to see that he was also available for the Xmas break. He was excellent at communicating at every visit. He was very good with my kitties. He went above and beyond taking care of them and our home. You can clearly see his care and passion for taking care of animals. I would not hesitate to book him again! Thank you, Travis. You are the best :)”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ilona did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats Edwin and Guava! She was very caring and responsive, and made sure to tend to their needs while I was away. I would highly recommend her for cat-sitting.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs for years and just love spending time with animals. I’m pretty good at reading their moods—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone to quietly hang out with. I make sure each visit is more than just feeding or walking—I give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m always patient, respectful of their boundaries, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I always try to make the most of my visits—walks, feeding, and definitely playtime. I know your pet will be alone for a while after I leave, so I do my best to give them attention, love, and some good company while I’m there. I’ve got a good sense for animal moods—if your pet’s feeling shy, I’ll give them space. If they’re excited to hang out, I’m all in for playtime and cuddles. I follow your instructions to a T, make sure everything gets done right, and always double-check that everything’s locked up before I go.
“Andrea is incredibly professional, kind, and responsible. She took such loving care of our kitties while we were away that we were actually able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were being checked in on by Andrea. Every interaction from meet and greet to the last day of check ins for our kitties was excellent. Andrea followed my requested instructions and made our kitties feel relaxed and content while away, while providing comforting messages and adorable pictures/videos from her checks in. We are so happy to have found such a compassionate and responsible pet sitter. Thank you Andrea!”

About: I’ve trained my two dogs, a German Sheppard and miniature dachshund. I love all animals including cats! No job is too hard as all animals need love and patience! I’m currently in between jobs and looking for something to do in my off time! I am open on late night calls as well if any emergencies occur! I only have a mini dachshund who loves to play, if you dog spends the night I currently live in a luxury apartment with a large dog park next door!
“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She fit the sitting into her schedule on late notice and made the time to come over beforehand and meet our cat and see where everything was in our house. Elizabeth was very kind and I felt totally confident that she was going to do a great job. She sent lots of pictures from her visits while we were away and my cat looked very happy to have her company. It was a totally positive experience and I would definitely love to use Elizabeth again in the future!”
“Caroline was a lifesaver! The thought of leaving our kitty at home with a stranger for 16 days was nerve-wracking, to say the least! Thankfully, we found Caroline, and she took the anxiety out of the equation. She took care to follow out instructions and maintain Tatsu's kitty routine with minimal disruption. In addition, Caroline gave regular updates and communicated in detail about how things were going. It was clear from her communication that Tatsu had settled in well with her new caregiver. When we returned home, we found a healthy and content little cat and a spotless home. We are deeply grateful for Caroline's cat sitting and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Laila was great! Both our cat and dog love her! Laila sends us video every time she visit and shows us how they are doing. She kept our apartment in a clean and neat as well. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Camille was absolutely wonderful! Her thoughtfulness and care while watching my sweet kitty Oliver was more than I could have asked for. She was attentive, asked all the right questions and took a ton of photos to share with me while I was away. I would 1000% book with her again. I felt really safe and secure having my fur baby in her hands. :) Thanks Camille! Couldn't have asked for better!”

“I'm writing to enthusiastically recommend my friend Katrina for a position with Rover as a pet caregiver and dog walker. I’ve known Katrina for several years, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand her deep love for animals, responsible nature, and strong work ethic. Katrina has always been the go-to person in our circle whenever someone needs help with their pets—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or just spending quality time with them. She’s attentive, patient, and truly understands that pets are family. I’ve trusted her to care for my own pets, and she treated them with the same affection and responsibility as I would.

Richard U.
“I've known Richard for many years, and one thing that's always stood out is his love for animals. He has long-time experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. For over a decade, he raised a dog and a cat together in the same household—no small feat!—and also lovingly cared for two guinea pigs during that time. Currently, he shares his home with two adorable cats. Richard is incredibly patient and observant. He has a soft heart and a natural ability to connect with animals, always taking the time to understand their personalities, needs, and moods. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship, Richard creates a safe and loving environment for pets. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I have no doubt that he’ll treat every dog or cat he cares for like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”

Meghana N.
“As someone who has known Meghana for over a decade, I can wholeheartedly vouch for her exceptional dog caregiving skills. Whenever my family and I were away on vacation, Meghana would make sure my dog was well taken care of and my dog would always come home well-fed and happy. Meghana is incredibly responsible and genuinely loves animals. Dogs always gravitate towards her warmth and kindness, and it always put my mind at ease when she was watching my dog, allowing me to enjoy my time away without worrying. In summary, I definitely recommend Meghana as a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver!”
