About: Reliable • Loving • Experienced Pet Care 🐾 Lifelong dog care experience, caring for cats since 2021, and animal sanctuary experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies from 2022–2026. Your pets are family! 💛 Your furry friend is my priority. I’m available every day from 6 AM to 10 PM, giving your pet plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and supervision, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10 years old and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm also a Registered Veterinary Technician with over six years of experience in veterinary medicine. My background allows me to confidently care for senior pets, puppies and kittens, administer medications, recognize changes in a pet's health or behavior, and provide compassionate, low-stress care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and intentionally make time for in my daily routine. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's sticking to their normal routine, giving medications, or simply spending quality time with them, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I'm trained to recognize changes in a pet's health or behavior and will keep you updated if I have any concerns. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it, while making sure your pets receive the same love and attention I would give my own.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog. I’m dependable, experienced with many different breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I also have a strong reputation from past clients who appreciate my reliability and care. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just giving your dog attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like my own. I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets and I just joined Rover to continue doing what I love most. I’d be happy to help and make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work a hybrid schedule. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, but need to be in the office from 9-5pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. I groom dogs on the weekends as my side hustle, but have lots of flexibility to take care of dogs. I have a patio, balcony, and lots of great sniffing spots to explore in our neighborhood. The neighborhood is safe and very dog friendly . I have a loving home with plenty of space for your dog to roam around and feel comfortable.
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always been comfortable caring for them. I grew up with cats and have experience feeding, playing with, and caring for them throughout my life. I've also helped neighbors by checking in on their pets while they were away. Although I don't have professional pet care experience yet, I'm responsible, patient, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm excited to provide loving care for both cats and dogs. I am currently a university student and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer months when I am not taking classes. This allows me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care services. I can plan my day around visits, walks, check-ins, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on the client's needs. Although I don't have formal professional experience in pet care, I've cared for cats my whole life and understand their behavior, needs, and comfort. I also helped a neighbor by checking in on her cat whenever she was away. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals
“Again, Perry did an amazing job walking my 2.5 year old American Eskimo. Ocean has a handful of special monitoring needs due to a chronic GI condition and his playful interest in exploring, if not trying to consume, anything. Perry is extremely conscienscious and is very alert to Ocean's behaviors. Perry is also wonderful at making sure my dog is properly back in his kennel area when he drops off and leaves. Ocean is also over the top happy and excited the moment he realizes Perry is coming to walk and play with him. Its been really wonderful and a relief to know I have Perry onboard to walk and care for my boy.”
“Nikka was absolutely great at looking after my dog! I had her check in on my dog while I was away for about a week and my dog loved how much she cared for him. I have a pretty shy and anxious dog, but it wasn’t long before he started wanting to be friends with Nikka. I’m highly satisfied with the care and help that she has provided!”
“Rene did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! Based on the pictures, our cat really adored him. He was also easy to communicate with and very thoughtful, going above and beyond to see after some small thing in our home while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
“James is the best of the best! Our cat LOVES him and he is truly one of a kind who adores animals! We love having James take care of our cat over and over! Thanks James!”
“Tina worked great with me and my cat! I just moved and didn’t know how to work the entry gates guest entry, but she was super patient with me and figured out how to access the apartment complex.”
About: Growing up my neighborhood was a zoo with cats, dogs, chinchillas, birds, bunnies, chickens, and ducks! My childhood became blind and deaf so I have experience caring for senior dogs with complex conditions. I love all animals at all stages of their lives and it is very rewarding for me. I'm a recent college grad and starting my master's program online! I am also working part-time. I will generally be available on Thursdays and Fridays depending! I have a kitten who is very mellow but I will not be providing any in-home services. I love to approach any kind of sitting job with a holistic and very pet-led approach!
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life and my family has always made sure I understood the full responsibility of raising a pet and make sure they are happy and healthy. I was an animal science major when I was in college and have worked with a variety of animals so I have a strong understanding of reading a various of behaviors so I am able to quickly adapt to your pets personality. I just moved back to the San Fransisco from Boston and I am currently applying for graduate school so my schedule is flexible to play with the fur babies! I will make sure I ask the client what are the boundaries of where I can be when I am their home, never going any further than I need to make sure their pets are taken care of and is happy. If at any point I need to expand that space I plan to reach out to the client to confirm before I step anywhere else.
“Simonee did a great job taking care of my fur babies! I have three of them to take care of, so appreciated her being able to follow through on the care instructions. I could tell she loves animals based on our meet and greet :), so knew they were in good hands.”
“My has helped us take care of our babies twice now and she’s the best! She’s very attentive and always shares a bunch of photos and details about the visit with us. Our kitties love her. Thank you My!”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid and had one for over 16 years. Puppies, adults, older ones, big, small I like them all! I am in between jobs so I have nothing better to do than take your dog on a walk (it would give us both something to do). Depends on the dog, if yours is outgoing it's easier to breakthrough. If they're a little shy I let them come to me and win them over with pets
About: I love all pets. I especially love being active and running and will take my friend’s dog to the local 5k when she’s available. I do part time online tutoring and some in person extracurricular teaching. This gives me time between sessions to check in on your pets frequently. I am very careful and will follow any special instructions for caring for your pet extremely closely. I love pets and my priority is always the pet’s comfort.
“Brianna was an amazing pet sitter for my two pet bunnies! She communicated all throughout my trip, sent lots of photos, and I knew the bunnies were in good hands. Highly recommend and booking again in the future 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Andi, I own a German Shepherd/Husky mix with lots of energy! I have experience walking, bathing, feeding, and training pets. I also have experience in de escalating situations and assessing when a pet is over stimulated. I am comfortable with dogs & cats of all sizes and more than willing to care for pets with special needs. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! My schedule is currently very flexible. I have an SUV which can comfortably fit up to 3 dogs, making commute very easy. I prefer house sitting requests to be a few days in advance. I love spending time with animals and volunteering at shelters, I have taken care of many pets through the years. Not every animal is comfortable with strangers upon first meeting, which is absolutely something I have encountered and worked through. It is a joy to see pets come out of their shell as they become more comfortable around a new person. In addition to patience, I have experience in high stress situations and am a quick thinker due to this. I value strong communication and practice it daily.

This was our second time booking with Lydia and she was amazing with our cats. One of our cat requires oral medication and Lydia was able to administer it perfectly. She was very thorough and made sure to take multiple photos of the cats. We would definitely recommend Lydia!
Mystyc (and Jai) took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for 3 weeks! They followed all instructions perfectly, were awesome at sending over regular reports and photos during the scheduled check-ins and even helped to take packages in. I came back to neat litterboxes and our cats were happy and purring. Thank you Mystyc!!
I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter. She’s great with both of my cats spending time to play with them and making sure they’re stimulated and taken care. She goes above and beyond whether it’s tidying up after them or staying a few extra minutes because they need extra snuggles. I feel secure going away from home if Nikka is taking care of them.
Christal was great with Koda! I always stress leaving him behind when I travel, but Christal was able to keep my well informed with detailed updates, photos, and videos of koda throughout the booking! Koda was in a really great mood when I came back!! Would recommend Christal!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
