House Sitting Castro-Upper Market

“This was the first time Kristin sat with my dog Lucy, who is a rescue initially mistrusting of "new people." To my relief, after the initial encounter, Lucy was OK with Kristin and I felt good about leaving them together for a short weekend. Kristin has a sweet, easy-going temperament that would help any pet get comfortable. She took good care of Lucy as well as my home and sent me pictures and reports about their walks. I definitely recommend Kristin.”

“Alex did a great job taking care of Emmy for five nights. Emmy warms up to her more each visit. We highly recommend Alex; she is very tuned in to Emmy’s feelings and her needs. Alex lets us know how Emmy is doing frequently with texts and photos. We are so glad we chose Alex.”

“Nicole took amazing care of our two kitties over a holiday week! They are pretty shy cats but they warmed to Nicole quickly. It was such a relief knowing they were comfy and happy. Would highly recommend Nicole as a sitter and hope to book her again in the future!”

About: I have over 12 years of pet care experience and can adapt to all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience with disabled dogs and senior dogs, in addition to dogs with anxiety/separation anxiety. Let’s chat about how I can make your life easier! I work from home daily from 9-5 and love taking breaks throughout the day to go outside and walk dogs! Usually I have walks daily around noon. Any furry friend that I am fortunate enough to care for gets all of my attention and love. I make them feel like a part of the family, give lots of pets and affection, but am firm when necessary.

“Joslyn took excellent care of Fern and my apartment over a quick weekend trip! She sent lots of cute videos that showed just how much love and attention Fern was getting. I’d absolutely have her watch Fern again!”

“Nicole did a great job at house/pet sitting. She was responsive, respectful, and made the whole process super smooth. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Nicole!”

Sadie F.

“Caroline takes wonderful care of Nala, and of the apartment as well! Nala has a lot of anxiety but is very at ease with Caroline and Caroline helps her stay calm throughout the day.”

Camila T.

“Jessica did a FANTASTIC job taking care of my 2 cats while I was away for 10 days. They can sometimes timid, but not at all with Jessica! She sent photos the entire time we were gone of them as happy as I’ve ever seen them and snuggling up with her. This is the second time I’ve had her house sit, and I will 100% be reaching out again!”

“Jacob has been wonderful with our dog. He’s kind, caring, punctual, and very thorough. We always feel confident knowing our dog is in good hands with him, and we really appreciate his reliability and attention to detail.”

“Sean was SO great with our old boy Milo!! Our dog has a fair amount of quirks and Sean was attentive, kind and very flexible. We had a couple meet & greets to go over his routine before our weekend away which was also very appreciated. We could tell Milo liked Sean from the get go! Sean was easy to communicate with and our house was in perfect order when we got home. We HIGHLY recommend Sean to take excellent care of your pup- He is a very nice guy, super responsible and clearly loves dogs! :)”

“I am SO lucky to have found Noelia to watch my beloved Theo while I was out of town for a bachelorette trip last weekend! She came over a few days before I left for a meet and greet/information session and Theo practically melted into her lap. While I was gone, she sent updates on how he was eating (he can be an anxious guy) and photos and videos of their neighborhood adventures together which was super adorable and so heartwarming. For my first time using rover AND having somebody new stay in my apartment with my 11lb pride and joy, I couldn’t have made a better choice with Noelia. I will be reaching out for her care again!! 🫶🏻🐾”

“Allie looked after Cara so well. She loves her so much and is excited to see her again!!!”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

Jennifer L.

“Anita was the best hangout for our little Zoe! She was a great communicator before, during, and after her visit. We’ll be booking her again soon!”

About: 🐾 Welcome! 🐾 Hi! I’m Gabrielle, and I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m home a lot throughout the week. I live in Hayes Valley, which makes it easy for me to get out for walks or check in frequently if I’m caring for your pet in your home. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, lots of playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just wants someone to hang out and cuddle with, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I know every pet is different, so I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in, overnight care, or a longer stay, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! My work schedule varies as I am a performing artist. There are periods of time I am on extended breaks during my off-season, however, when I am working I live only 2 minutes from work so it’s easy for me to come and go to check on your dog! Jace will have a lot more flexibility as he is transitioning careers and currently unemployed. Between the two of us one of us is likely to spend most if not all day with your pet! We are open to sittings and boardings. We also live very close to many parks and would love to give your dog a lot of outdoor time and social time if that’s appropriate.

“Trinity was a great sitter for our dog! He had a great time with her and I appreciate that she made him feel so comfortable. She was so responsive and attentive to his needs, I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Satine was an excellent cat and house sitter. I could tell Pepper was comfortable and well cared for by the pictures and updates Satine sent. She also left the house cleaner than she found it, which we really appreciated.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for friends and family in Minnesota for years. Just relocated to the Bay Area and making it official on Rover. For the first time in my life, I don’t have a pet of my own. I’d love to take care of and spend that pet love on yours. I work remotely and run my own business, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work around whatever your pet needs throughout the day. I’ve owned a reactive, anxiously attached dog, so I’m comfortable with the ones that need a little extra patience. Senior dogs, high-anxiety pups, all sizes, I’ve got it covered. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. If your pet needs full-time company, I can take my calls and work from where they are. I only book when I’m fully available, so if I’m on the calendar, I’m present. I come to your pet so they stay in their own home, in their own routine, with their own familiar space. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how things are going.
