Lisa was lovely! Offered to swing by before my trip to meet the cats and get acquainted which was super comforting. She provided detailed updates each time she checked in that really gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to someone else and would love to work with her again later!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, which gave me early experience with daily pet care. This included feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and neighbors while they were on vacation, caring for a variety of pets and making sure they felt comfortable and loved while their owners were away. Playing and spending time with animals is something that brings me a lot of joy. I understand the importance of giving pets the attention, care, and affection they need to feel safe and happy. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but it is very flexible and mostly working from home. I am available for walks and drop in visits every day of the week. I offer walks and drop-in visits at clients' homes. I can also feed, play and cuddle with your fur babies so that you can have peace of mind to carry on with your day knowing your pet is well taken care of.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner and have cared for my own dog for 13 years now. Along with dogs I have owned/cared for cats, rats, and lizards. When I was younger I worked on a farm and developed a deep love for animals. I live a very active lifestyle and would be stoked to take your pet out for walks, runs, hikes, and beach day swimming! I have a large vehicle which has easy transportation for bigger dogs. I take the time to establish a genuine connection with your pet and want to foster a bond built on mutual understanding and respect. Having trust from you and your pet is an important relationship to have. I want you to be sure that your furry loved one and your home is being taken care of in the safest and best way possible for you. I am a full time worker and van-lifer. My home is on wheels which makes it easy to move around to meet your home sitting needs. My normal work week is Monday-Friday in Capitola. I’m not able to host animals in my home. Coming to your home is the best option, and making your pet feel safe and comfortable is #1!

Allison is great! I needed someone to do some drop-ins while I was on a short work trip. Allison came by right on schedule, took care of everything with no problems, and was sure to send me photos and updates. And you can tell she genuinely enjoys getting to spend some time with the animals. I felt like my dog was very well taken care of.

About: Since I was a kid, I have loved all animals. I was fortunate enough to learn how to take care of multiple pet cats and rabbits in our home. I previously volunteered assisting in husbandry tasks for a bird rehabilitation center, and interned with a sea turtle conservation group in order to help save hatchlings. I also assisted my family in training our pit bull mix, who was adopted as an extremely anxious and reactive year old puppy. With compassion and patience, he is now a confident adult dog. I hope to provide that same compassion and patience to other animals in addition to my own. I have taken care of a variety of pups, from pit bulls to cane corsos. I love spending my time with animals and will make sure I do everything to keep them entertained and at ease. I’m currently in graduate school, so while I am taking classes and working part-time, my schedule can be flexible. I am happy to accommodate you and your pets’ needs. As of now, I am in class from 9am-5pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but am available on those days in the early morning or evening. I have availability throughout the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends. I am flexible and hope to meet the needs of each individual pet and owner. I am happy to come to your home, or take your pets outside in various parks or beaches around town.

About: I am a licensed science teacher who transitioned into the world of animal medicine and now human medicine. I have actively worked in a variety of specialty hospitals and currently support a family medical practice in Soquel. Not only can you feel confident that your pet will be taken care of by a professional in the field , but know that I have completed animal training courses that will be useful if I am walking your pet or positively reinforcing new expectations while house sitting. With regards to house sitting, I am trained and certified to administer injections, oral medications , and comfortable with pets who may need extra care (e.g. animals that are blind, feeding tubes, etc) . I am also open to more questions with regards to my training and background, so please do not hesitate to ask. I have random opportunities during the day and open on weekends. I am a full time practicing medical provider but do have cancelations and typically know my schedule ahead of time. I like to understand the pet's routine and safe spaces. If they have triggers or routines that help them, I would like to know about them.

About: Growing up, I’ve been lucky to share my life with a wide variety of animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Beyond caring for my own pups, I’ve also had the joy of house sitting and looking after friends’ pets over the years. I’m deeply passionate about animals, and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I would be genuinely excited and honored to care for someone else’s dog. You can trust that I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and devotion I give my own. I work from home so I am available to watch your animals any day of the week. This also allows me to provide drop-ins anytime. Because I work from home I can take care of your animal in your home. This helps to ensure they are comfortable in their own space.

About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.

About: *to my precious repeat & new clients, we're moving out of sf on December2023. (to Santa Cruz, yes dog paradise! our new place is located 3min walk away to park, 10min to beach! we can drive to redwoods or many trails easily as well) hope to see your pups before moving, or happy to watch your pup/s in SC! happy to accommodate pick-up/drop-off:) Hi everyone! My name is Yu. (pronounced same as 'You' (confusing but easy to remember!). I have many experience with dog care in my life. I'm originally from Japan. I consider myself responsible and trustworthy. (what do you think of stereotype of Japan? =working hard! right?) everytime i come across the dogs my heart melts, i realized i loved them so so much! my partner is also a pro dog walker/boarder. since we live together i'm involed and help him when he is boarding dogs, that way i walk, feed, play, and bath them. we sleep with them(even on the same bed) we treat them as a family. we don't own any dogs right now, (we wish!) so Rover is the best way for us to be a temporary mommy&daddy of your dogs. your dog's comfort and safe are our priority. If it’s your first time using rover, you can use the following discount code: YUR04253, https://www.rover.com/sit/yur04253 for $20 off. looking forward to seeing your dog! i'm currently not working. so i have plenty of time to play with your pups! my partner can look after your pups while i'm away too. our routine is : in the morning(7am) and evening(6pm) we walk for 15-20min, during the day(11am-2pm) for 1-2h, and before bed quick potty break(10pm). we can easily adjust time schedule for your dogs. when we go out we take your doggies as many as possible, so more than 4times a day is guarantee. i can board them pretty much any days. *your doggies must be ok with being alone max for3h sometimes when we can't take them out with us. if your dog bark or whine more than necessary, our town house is not good fit for them. (it's more for quiet neighbors) our place is in a town house, has a dog field across street. we love cuddling and sleeping together:) if your dogs need own space, we respect that too. We accept more than 2 dogs at same time.

Rachel is AMAZING!! She is the peace of mind you need when choosing someone to care for your animal family. I have two very different cats with very different eating habits, as one can imagine, this comes with a cluster of instructions which she was sharply receptive and happy to do. Whether it’s one day or multiple days, she’s attentive and caring the whole way through. I know this because every time I return home, the energy from them feels as if I never left. Couldn’t be happier to have found her.

Matthew is a funny, kind hearted individual who is driven and overall a pleasure to be around. I worked with him for 2 years as his colleague in the cardiology department at VCA SFVS and Oakvet. I first met him when he was very new to the field but he had a yearning for learning and quickly learned the department and how to handle animals, with stress free handling. Matthew already has amazing customer service, so him growing into being a proficient well rounded cardio tech which lead to cardio lead tech and a service coordinator in various specialty and emergency departments. Matthew is great with animals and his experience of working with cardio and emergency makes him an awesome dog sitter because he can spot signs of distress and he can gauge when a pet needs to see a vet ASAP. He also has great knowledge of biology and various medications, so he’s be a great sitter for dogs who require medication administration.

Client Testimonials from Another App: “Sabrina and I communicated clearly during the 5-week stay. Her trustworthiness, flexibility, and positive demeanor make her a five-star sitter. She meticulously cared for my Frenchie, home, and house plants, going above and beyond by researching specific plant care requirements. I returned to a well-maintained home and healthy pets.” - Shuwen “Sabrina was exceptional! I received daily picture updates, and she managed everything independently. My home was flawless, and Pipa was very happy and well-cared-for. Thank you, Sabrina!” - Maria I look forward to making your travels worry-free by providing top-tier care for your pets and home! Working from home gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, round-the-clock care and ensure that your pets receive love and attention throughout the day, every day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. For house and pet sitting, I ensure a secure, clean environment, tailoring my care to each pet’s specific needs and routines. During dog walks, I prioritize safe routes and keep a close eye on the pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. Trust is built through consistent communication, sending updates and photos to pet owners. My goal is to create a nurturing space where pets feel at ease, just like they would with their own family.

Sendy was amazing. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Both our cats loved her. Even Butter, who is usually really shy. Super professional. Would recommend 10/10.

About: Growing up, I’ve been lucky to share my life with a wide variety of animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Beyond caring for my own pups, I’ve also had the joy of house sitting and looking after friends’ pets over the years. I’m deeply passionate about animals, and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I would be genuinely excited and honored to care for someone else’s dog. You can trust that I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and devotion I give my own. I work from home so I am available to watch your animals any day of the week. This also allows me to provide drop-ins anytime. Because I work from home I can take care of your animal in your home. This helps to ensure they are comfortable in their own space.

I've been having Vlad care for my German Shepherd (2.5yo) one night a week, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. My dog can be a bit particular, but he took the time to understand his needs and routine right from the start. Every time I return, I find my dog relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly happy. I highly recommend Vlad to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

About: *to my precious repeat & new clients, we're moving out of sf on December2023. (to Santa Cruz, yes dog paradise! our new place is located 3min walk away to park, 10min to beach! we can drive to redwoods or many trails easily as well) hope to see your pups before moving, or happy to watch your pup/s in SC! happy to accommodate pick-up/drop-off:) Hi everyone! My name is Yu. (pronounced same as 'You' (confusing but easy to remember!). I have many experience with dog care in my life. I'm originally from Japan. I consider myself responsible and trustworthy. (what do you think of stereotype of Japan? =working hard! right?) everytime i come across the dogs my heart melts, i realized i loved them so so much! my partner is also a pro dog walker/boarder. since we live together i'm involed and help him when he is boarding dogs, that way i walk, feed, play, and bath them. we sleep with them(even on the same bed) we treat them as a family. we don't own any dogs right now, (we wish!) so Rover is the best way for us to be a temporary mommy&daddy of your dogs. your dog's comfort and safe are our priority. If it’s your first time using rover, you can use the following discount code: YUR04253, https://www.rover.com/sit/yur04253 for $20 off. looking forward to seeing your dog! i'm currently not working. so i have plenty of time to play with your pups! my partner can look after your pups while i'm away too. our routine is : in the morning(7am) and evening(6pm) we walk for 15-20min, during the day(11am-2pm) for 1-2h, and before bed quick potty break(10pm). we can easily adjust time schedule for your dogs. when we go out we take your doggies as many as possible, so more than 4times a day is guarantee. i can board them pretty much any days. *your doggies must be ok with being alone max for3h sometimes when we can't take them out with us. if your dog bark or whine more than necessary, our town house is not good fit for them. (it's more for quiet neighbors) our place is in a town house, has a dog field across street. we love cuddling and sleeping together:) if your dogs need own space, we respect that too. We accept more than 2 dogs at same time.
