“Sammy was highly responsive and responsible, took good care of our cat, and arrived on time each day. They even went out of their way to make up time that had accidentally been missed. I will be looking to book them for future travel.”


“Excellent communication and easy to work with. Gaby took very good care of our cat while we were out of town on a holiday weekend. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”


“Charles did a great job with my cat Mazie! He was communicative via text and updated me with photos of Mazie each day. She was feeling particularly shy and didn't come out of hiding much, but Charles made sure she had company.”


About: Grew up with dogs and have trusted experience caring for pets. Friends often ask me to watch their animals, showcasing my reliability and genuine love for animals. My weekly schedule is quite flexible as I work from home on most days. I can make multiple trips within a day or stay or stay and keep watch for longer periods of time. I stay in touch and treat pets like family. I make sure that they have all the attention they need, good sunlight, and healthy walks.

“Maria was a lifesaver! She stepped in to care for my cat, Asha, after the original sitter canceled last minute. She gave Asha plenty of attention, played with her, and even went the extra mile by cleaning the sink and litter box areas. I really appreciated her reliability and care. I highly recommend Maria and would absolutely book her again!”


“Davis was wonderful with my two kitties. I am an incredibly nervous fur mom leaving my boys and Davis was communicative, professional, and you could tell her love of animals through just a few minutes of conversation so I knew they were in good hands.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I had two Pomeranians growing up, and to this day, I have a soft spot for them—I love the little cute floofballs! Currently, I volunteer weekly at the SF SPCA on Fridays as a cat volunteer. I’m especially comfortable with shy or senior pets who need a calm, patient presence. I take pride in keeping litter boxes and feeding areas spotless, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. My link offers pet parents $20 off their first booking with Rover. https://www.rover.com/sit/chelsa81552 I work part-time and volunteer at the SF SPCA. My schedule fluctuates often, but I hope that over time, I will have a set work schedule. Please message me about booking times, and we can work out a schedule that best suits both of us. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment by strictly following your pet’s routine and care instructions. I respect your home and prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being at all times.

“Sarine was phenomenal! She was so patient and kind with my anxious little guy. She went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for your dog like they were her own.”


About: Hi, I’m Francisco – a lifelong dog lover and your pup’s next best friend! 🐶🐾 What sets me apart? I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’ve owned two amazing pups of my own and have often helped friends care for theirs—whether that means walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I’m doing this because I truly enjoy it. Helping folks around the city who need an extra hand now and then feels like a great way to combine my love for animals with giving back to the community. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s playtime or a peaceful stroll, your dog will be in great hands—and I’ll send plenty of photo updates too! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work from home several days a week, which gives me the flexibility to take dogs out for walks, give them attention throughout the day, and keep them company. I also don’t work on weekends, so I’m fully available then for more hands-on care, longer stays, or extra playtime. Whether it’s a weekday walk or a full weekend of snuggles and fetch, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your pup to relax, plus access to an on-site dog run—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I’m also just a few blocks away from a great park, which makes for fun, enriching walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to stick to their routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. Whether at my place or yours, your dog will get lots of love, attention, and care—plus plenty of updates so you always know how they’re doing!

“Jiahiu did an amazing job with quick response. She constantly updated with pictures and communicated very well. Highly recommend and would love to have her again.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 8 years with a loving and gentle touch. I can walk dogs, feed them, and give them baths to keep them happy and healthy. Pets quickly warm up to me, and I always treat them like part of my own family. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a curious kitten, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets every day with love and patience. I walk them, feed them, and play with them, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I always keep pets safe, clean, and comfortable. I follow the owner’s wishes, watch them carefully, and give them a warm, friendly place where they can relax and feel at home.

About: I grew up with dogs from the time I was 8. I taught our first family dog all the basics. We later then got up to 3 dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies, adult, and senior dogs. I took care of all stages at one time or another in my life for extended periods of time. I also grew up riding horses so larger breeds don’t scare me easily. I love all the fur babies big and small! I currently work full time but am available on Fridays through Sundays. I am also available for week night walks after 5pm. I currently live with two adorable cats and am home to give them cuddles and food every night after work. I love all the fur babies big ! Whatever their needs are I’m happy to accommodate. If they need to be active or need to stay inside and get cuddles or just to be taken care but left to themselves I’m happy to do it. Whatever care is best for them I’m happy to give to them!

“Elena was wonderful with our sweet girl! Even when Lola managed to tip over her feeder, Elena secured it so she couldn’t get into it. She gave Lola lots of love during her visits and took the cutest photos that we could look at on our trip. Thank you so so much!”


“I’ve used this app countless times and I have NEVER had a better Rover! KayMaria was the perfect sitter for my cat, Roland. She sent tons of pictures and videos of him every day where he looked engaged and happy. She brought him toys. She gave him treats every day and left everything so tidy for us. Cannot recommend her enough! If you are going on a trip - or need someone for even one day - try to book KayMaria and your pet will be in very safe hands!”


About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was little as my family has 3 dogs - a chihuahua and two Maltese. As a huge dog lover, I've always held the responsibility of feeding, washing, trimming, and walking them. I know that we are our pets' whole world, so I truly understand the importance of giving them care, love, and attention. I am able to walk your dog on the weekdays before work from 6am - 8:30am, and anytime after 3pm. I work from home in Nob Hill, so I am flexible on the weekdays. I am also available during the weekends! My dogs are currently not living with me right now as I moved away from my parent's house and am living in an apartment. I look forward to spending quality time with your furry animal and giving him/her all the attention and love!

About: My husband Fernando and I absolutely love dogs! I work from home 3/5 days a week so we can give your pooch tons of attention and love and walks! I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, mostly cocker spaniels and labs:-) We understand what’s it’s like to be on the other end of pet sitting, waiting for an update or pics and wondering how my pet is doing. Be assured that you will receive plenty of updates throughout your pets sitting. If your dog has any special needs I’m happy to acccommodate whatever they need! I can’t wait to meet you fur baby soon! Fernando and I have super flexible schedules and are able to attend to all your pets unpredictable needs. One or both of us is home during the day excluding some weekend days. Your home and set up allows me to stay consistent with your pets routine. Any special needs can be accommodated. Ear scratches and belly rubs are our specialty.
