“Sammy provided very frequent and thorough photo / text updates while taking care of our dog over a long weekend, putting us at ease that she was in attentive hands while we were away. She was also respectful of our home and space. Thank you Sammy!”


About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a San Francisco-based pet sitter with a background in healthcare, which makes me especially comfortable caring for pets with special needs, medications, or anxiety. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including shy or temperamental pets who need extra patience and a calm approach. I understand how important routine is, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Pet parents often tell me they appreciate my attention to detail and communication—I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to following all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent care, playtime, and companionship. I’m also responsive and able to provide updates during visits I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I’m reliable and comfortable administering medication when needed, and I have experience caring for shy or anxious pets, always approaching them with patience and respect for their space. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s environment, and I make sure everything is secure during each visit. I also provide regular updates so you feel comfortable and informed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority.
“Leanne was great with our dog and cat! I knew they were in good hands which allowed me to enjoy my trip! She is very sweet with my shy dog and left our place very nice. Would definitely contact her again.”
“Selena watched Joni for us for a week over a busy holiday weekend. Selena provided us so many updates while we were away which helped us feel ultra relaxed on our vacation! Joni gets extra sad when we are gone but having an extra sweet pal, Nimbus, while Selena was house sitting gave Joni that extra happiness she needed. When we arrived home, our house was spotless and she even washed our sheets for us which was an added bonus after a long travel day. I would 100% be happy to have Selena watch Joni again our next trip- thank you again so much Selena (&Nimbus 🙂)!!!”

About: I've taken care of my own animals, as well as neighbors pets for most of my life. I have administered medications and dealt with injury for both cats and dogs. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, so I will be able to check in on your animal regularly and on short notice. I've cared for a number of cats and dogs for friends and family. I also have a cat of my own! I understand the importance of building trust with your pet, and am excited to meet them!
“Bri and Raj are excellent! Very friendly and accommodating to our two doggies’ needs, who can easily be a handful (one is young and full of energy and the other is older and not always dog-friendly) but were a breeze for Bri and Raj. Will definitely be booking with them again and would highly recommend them to others!”

“Ella did an exceptional job watching our dog Rufus! She was extremely kind, sent daily updates with pictures and took care of a pup who can be a handful. Rufus requires special care during his walks due to reactivity and takes daily oral medication. She managed both of these needs seamlessly. I would highly recommend Ella!”

“Joytika stayed with my senior cat Taylor and did a great job of attending to her special needs, socializing with her, and looking after her and my apartment over two weeks during the holiday months. When I returned the apartment was just as I had left it, and Taylor was clearly happy with having a new friend and sitter while I was away. Would recommend booking Joytika!”

“Celine is fantastic! Super responsive, takes great care of my cat, and leaves detailed updates and pictures. I know my kitty is in good hands and my apartment is in great hands too. She always leaves it in great shape and I’ve rebooked her after my initial stay. I have had Celine stay for a week plus and never had any concerns about the cat’s well being. Thank you!”

About: All my life I wanted a dog but we couldn’t afford one growing up. As an adult I’ve never lived without a dog. I’ve raised/train and helped raise/train over 8 puppies and 2 adult dogs. And whatever I don’t know I learn it quick. I will do everything to make your pup feel at home. Back in May my service dog Tuxie had to be laid to rest due to health complications. So caring for an elderly sick dog is something’s I’m familiar with. I now have a 5month old kitten who loves to love. Though, my other dog Nala is still alive. She does not reside with me. Due to separation between my wife and I, she kept my babygirl. So she will not be having any contact with your baby at all. I currently work full time in the mornings, but I’m usually free after 3:30/4pm. I live less than 15 minute walk away from my job , and normally walk or public trans everywhere. After work I am entirely free for a walk, dog park, food time, belly rubs, anything. I typically work Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm and off on weekends. Unfortunately I do not have a yard of my own, as I live in a tiny 150sqft mini studio. There are multiple parks near me with beautiful views all around. I live on the border of the financial district and Chinatown. I normally lead a fairly quiet and laid back life. My complex is also a closed building, so it’s super safe.
“Elizabeth was an outstanding dog sitter! She took care of my dog, Cubby, for four days while staying at my apartment, and I couldn't have been happier with her service. Elizabeth was professional, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Cubby was well-fed, well-exercised, and very happy when I returned. Elizabeth also kept my apartment spotless and even sent me daily updates and pictures of Cubby, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Elizabeth, for taking such wonderful care of Cubby!”

“Justin was great with Bear and Meeko. Bear is a senior dog and needs medication administered several times a day. Justin updated us regularly on both Bear and Meeko, included photos, and overall was just a great person to be watching these two. We've already re-booked Justin to watch the boys for later this month!”

“Aijalon is amazing. She took such great care of my cat. She's friendly, kind, communicative, and an absolute delight. I was away two weeks and never worried about the wellbeing of my pet. Would absolutely be thrilled to have her back. Highly recommend Aijalon with your pets and home.”

“Lucy is extremely conscientious and respectful of time. She communicated when she would arrive and regularly sent photos of Dolce. I highly recommend Lucy.”

About: I’ve done pet sitting for years, and know the kind of care that dogs need. I work remotely and also have my own dog, a sweet golden retriever who gets along well with others. Besides the basics of bathroom breaks and walks, dogs need love! I want to give dogs a safe and happy experience in my home! I love to work out, and I would enjoy being able to bring a dog along with me! You can expect frequent runs or hikes, as well as lots of care and attention! I work remotely (same with my husband) and frequently take my own dog out. I can be flexible to your pets needs depending on whatever they need! I can also help with medications, special feedings, etc. I make sure a pet is feeling safe, secured, and loved. I treat any home as if it were my own and any dog as such as well.
“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.”

Chinatown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Aaron recently provided in-house dog sitting on short notice to cover me for a 5 day trip. He was very professional, amicable, and flexible, and made the process a breeze. Aaron provided detailed updates with multiple photos throughout the day and communicated with little to no delay. I could see from the Furbo footage that my dog shadow was always ecstatic to see him, and appeared from the photos to be having a great time! He followed all instructions to the letter and was very respectful of my home (and left it cleaner than when he arrived). 10/10 will definitely book his services again!!!

This was a very last-minute booking, but we stuck to the plan and everything went smoothly. Amy felt comfortable with Ilgas right away. She arrived on time, very punctual, and even got Amy a thoughtful gift she found during their walk, which was incredibly kind of her. Amy absolutely loves her new toy!

We had a great experience with Tracy! She stepped in last minute and was reliable, flexible, and communicated clearly throughout, which gave us real peace of mind. She also took wonderful care of our pets, and it truly showed. We’ll definitely be using her again.

Shanna took care of our English lab, Hank, while we were out of the country for 10 days. We felt great knowing he was in good hands, and he seemed his normal, happy self when we returned home. Shanna sent pics and videos regularly and was an awesome communicator. She also took great care of our apartment. There’s a reason for all of these 5 star reviews!!! Thank you, Shanna!!!

Wow! Absolutely blown away my William’s diligence in sending content of how our pups were doing whilst we were away as well as caring for them exactly as how I would have wanted. One of our dogs requires SQ fluid administration and a few medications and he was awesome about getting them to her and keeping her comfortable! He also broke through and was able to care for our very standoffish Shiba. Our dogs looked so happy and bright by the time we got home from our jam packed weekend. William was also a very helpful house sitter and even washed and cleaned the dog food containers we had for their meal prep! Would definitely go with Will for all my pet’s sitting needs.

Nicole was the perfect sitter for my anxious dog. She took him out for long walks, kept him comfortable when he was anxious and played games with him to distract him from his separation anxiety. She was punctual, responsive, friendly and sent photos. I highly recommend her.

Jessica is wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about her. First of all my very shy 2 kittens warmed up to her immediately which told me a lot! Additionally I could tell by the photos and videos that she sent, the kitten behavior, her communication, and the tidy home I came back too that she took care of both the kittens and my home as if they were her’s. Malamalama, Sunny and I look forward to having Jessica back anytime. She was helpful, communicative, kind, caring…everything we hoped for in a sitter. 🐾❤️ - Malamalama, Sunny and June

Tasherit was phenomenal, our usual sitter had something come up last minute and she stepped in to save the day. She was incredibly responsive, asked all the right questions prior to the stay and our two dogs and cat were well loved and taken care of all week. Additionally when we had potential flight complications coming home she offered to stay another night and ensure the zoo was looked after. The house was sparkling clean when we got home, we will be booking again!

Diana was an amazing Catsitter for my two fur babies, including getting them to take their meds. My shy girl cat seemed very comfortable with her, which was so reassuring. and she even graciously helped me with a small errand while I was out of town. Highly recommend her!
