“Natalia was absolutely wonderful with all 3 of my dogs! From the very beginning, she was a fantastic communicator and made sure she understood everyone's routine. She looked after Koa, Gatsby and Barley perfectly and sent regular photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was at work. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and my dogs took to her right away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Professional, kind, caring person who can think on her feet and easily problem solve. Everything you want and need in the person taking care of your fur babies. Highly recommend!”

About: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.
About: I worked at East Hills Veterinary Hospital for 1.5 years from 2023-2025. I have dog walked and pet sat (both cats and dogs) for neighbors, family, and friends for the past 3 years. My mom is a veterinarian and has taught me how to medicate cats and trim nails on mild tempered cats. I have 4 cats and 3 small dogs at home who I regularly take care of. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and living locally. I have a car and am able to create a specialized schedule based on what my clients need from me. I am flexible with timing and will only be gone for 2 weeks this summer, one at the end of July and one at the start of August. I have three small dogs and four cats at home. I’m used to feeding my pets, changing litter boxes, medicating my pets if need be, and trimming nails for cats - but only if they have a mild temper. I walk my dogs a couple times a week and play fetch with my yorkie Neville. I have a fenced in backyard and like to hang outside with them and read books and let them run around.
About: Hello! I am Patrick and new to Rover, but not to pet care. For the past 25+ years, I have had both dogs and cats to keep me company. In total, I have housed 3 German Shepherds, 2 mutts, 2 Maine Coons and 3 short haired cats. The German Shepherds were all from rescues and were special needs, disabled, or shut-down dogs. I made sure that each one lived its best life. One of my favorites was Clover, a true ball dog that loved the beach. In her later years she developed a condition that paralyzed her hind legs. I made sure she still got her daily walks by using a cart for mobility so she never felt left behind. I am comfortable caring for all ages and sizes of dogs and cats. Even though I am retired, I am still young and strong and able to handle any situation. I would love to set up a Meet & Greet to see how I can best assist. I can also help with the routine house stuff like collecting mail, watering plants, turning on lights, etc. while I am with your pet. Since I am newly retired, my schedule has freed up a bit. I am able to visit your dog or cat without much notice. Also, since I do not overbook, your pet gets my full attention. I am a very detail-oriented person. I will follow all of your directions to the letter. I will be very careful and respectful of your home.
About: Hi there! I’m a dependable and compassionate caregiver who has spent years being the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors whenever they need help with their fur babies, kids, homes, or even plants! I absolutely love animals and have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m available anytime—including weekdays, weekends, and holidays—and am flexible to fit your schedule. Whether your pet needs a calm companion to keep them cozy or an energetic walking buddy to burn off some zoomies, I adjust to their personality and needs with ease. My goal is always to create a fun, safe, and comforting environment—no stress, just tail wags, purrs, and happy pets! I am currently working a part-time job on weekends and attending school during the week, with classes lasting about four hours each day. Despite my academic commitments, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time both before and after classes, as well as in between. This allows me to be highly available throughout the week for pet sitting, dog walking, and other services. I manage my time well, and I’m committed to being punctual, responsive, and reliable. Whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. My goal is to provide consistent, high-quality care and peace of mind while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to provide care in my own home, but I am fully comfortable and more than happy to come to your home for any pet care services you may need. Whether it’s drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, or just some quality companionship for your pet, I’m here to help in a way that keeps your pets feeling safe and relaxed in their own environment. I’m an active person who loves the outdoors, so I’m always excited to take pets out for a walk—or even a run if they’re up for it! I also have a soft spot for senior pets who prefer quiet time and gentle care. Whether your furry family member is energetic and playful or laid-back and cuddly, I adjust my care style to meet their specific needs and personality. I’m very open and flexible with scheduling. If your pet has a particular feeding or medication schedule, I’m happy to follow it closely and even stop by for quick visits as needed. I treat every home with the utmost respect and always aim to leave things better than I found them—clean, tidy, and cared for. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet while giving you total peace of mind while you're away.
About: While I've lived with dogs almost my whole life, I finally adopted my own 10 years ago. She is my friend, my companion, and my designated snuggler. Her mischievous antics always keep me on my toes. We love walks at open spaces in the East Bay - especially Briones and Lime Ridge. I am self-employed and enjoy a very flexible schedule. I wake up early to get a good start to the day, and value an organized schedule. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable and safe as I can. Your pets will have a clean, full water bowl, food on time, and an environment free of waste. I'm an expert at administering medication, as needed. If your pet needs some smooches and scratches, I have more than enough to spare. I will follow your instructions to the letter.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Labrador and have also cared for multiple rescue cats throughout the years. Having pets my whole life has taught me that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and way of showing love — and that’s something I truly cherish. I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, litter box and pet area cleaning, and providing daily care for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’m happy to provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. I would love the opportunity to help care for your fur baby and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well loved while you’re away! I currently work full time, but I’m available to help care for your pets during evenings and weekends! I’m happy to assist with date nights, weekend outings, vacations, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and giving your pets extra love and attention while you’re away. Monday through Thursday my schedule can be a bit tighter because of work, but I still do my best to accommodate evening care when possible. Friday through Sunday I am much more open and flexible, making weekends a great time for extended care or last-minute plans! I always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, bathroom breaks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. Cleanliness is very important to me, so I keep pet areas tidy, refresh water bowls regularly, and ensure litter boxes or outdoor areas are maintained. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind knowing their fur baby is in caring hands.
About: I grew up with dogs, lizards, frogs, and lots of family and friends with cats. Love animals of all shapes, sizes, and needs. Have been an active sitter with friends and family for many years :) Currently work a fully remote job, so sitting and walking blends into the schedule perfectly! Easy to step away from the computer for feedings, walks, and play time. Slow and steady wins the race. I always make sure to take care with getting to know new dog and cat pals. Fun is part of the equation, but attention to detail and safety always comes first.
“Jessica did a wonderful job with Jackson. She sent pictures and videos with descriptions to keep me apprised of everything. She let me know that she'd be a bit late because of traffic, and then let me know when she left my house. I'd definitely use her again!”

“Maria took great care of our babies! I could tell from the many photos she sent that they really took to her. She went above and beyond for them which is very much appreciated. She left our home as clean as we left it (and brought in our packages that I forgot to warn her about). I’m sure we’ll be hiring her again. Thank you, Maria!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for others through nannying and customer service roles, so being dependable, attentive, and patient comes naturally to me. I have experience working at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and have done pet sitting for a few years now. I truly love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of companionship and affection. I'm currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I'm hoping to mainly focus on building my pet sitting business. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while making sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Mike met our pups Bubbles & Ace for the first time and it went amazing! both my dogs warmed up to him fairly quickly & he was able to provide us with great tips for them. my dog Ace can have a lot of energy and some anxiety and Mike handled him great and took the time to learn his personality. It made me feel comfortable being able to leave them alone knowing how much knowledge he has and that we will be able to handle them. Definitely would rebook!”

About: I have owned animals for most of my life, I had a wonderful dog, Luke, who was a foster failure and I have two horses currently I’m most nights by 5:30-6.00 I just had to put my dog down and I miss having a dog but not ready for a full time commitment of owning one again, figure this would be a nice way to easy back into getting a dog again 😁 I have a fenced yard and the dogs would be with me and go in my adventures with me! They would be part of the family with lots of social time with us, feed on what event their normoal sched is so that life is not to disruptive to there lives.

Grace was awesome! Took the time to do a meet and greet before, and then followed up after the actual check-in with lots of pictures. Perfect communication as well. I could tell she is good with dogs by how quickly she was able to get my boys to play and be comfortable with her.

This was my first time using Rover and my first time using a pet sitter I didn’t know, so I was nervous about it. Lexx had great reviews so we set up a Meet and Greet which was so important to me for my peace of mind. The Meet and Greet went great so I booked her for a Drop In to feed my three boys dinner just so they could get a feel for Lexx without us around. The Drop In went well, they warmed up to her very quickly. Lexx said Chief took a little extra effort to get him to take a break from playing and eat his dinner, this can be common from him but I really appreciated that Lexx took the time to get him to focus on his meal. I feel confident it’s a good fit for my boys, now I have her booked to for a longer stay.
