“Robyn is absolutely amazing! We are so happy we found her. She was able to care for our fur babies when we were not able to, she gave them joyous amounts of attention and love. Thank you Robyn for all that you do and the tremendous huge help you were for us while we were on vacation❤️”


“Absolutely loved Tori! This was our first time leaving our cat's alone and she made it a stress free process. Tori left detailed reports, and pictures making us confident they were getting the best care. Will definitely use her again if needed.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“Hi Ronda! Jackson Galaxy says that cats will claim someone or something as their own by rubbing and leaving their scent. As shy as Freyja is, she's claimed you for her own (rubbing against your purse). That's really saying something! And the photo with Oogie hanging out with you on the head of your chair shows you two are buddies. We knew from the start that you are perfect for them and us, and we're thankful we found you. Now you might be wondering how they were when we came home. They woke up when they heard us and suddenly got the zoomies! Oogie had an excellent run on the kitty wheel, jumping off only to run away from Freyja! They played and grappled with each other and rubbing against us and more ruining on the wheel and more chasing. They don't even do that with catnip. Anyway, we had a great time and piece of mind that the ladies were in excellent hands. If this review is long and scattered, I'm JUST waking up (11:30 I think). Big hugs and big thank you! 😁🤗 Laurie PS Please tell your hubby he's more than welcome for the pizza. I'm so happy he enjoyed it. We'll try to have pizza before our trips from now on.”


“Melissa is amazing! We are very careful about who is around our two rescues because they have trust issues and take several visits to warm up to friends and family. Melissa has been caring for our dogs for several weeks now and they love her! She took time learning their triggers and gained their trust. She is very communicative with us and playful with our dogs and I admire her attentiveness when it comes to security/our home.”



“Lindsey was great with my kitties - she got my shy kitty to come out for each of her visits. Her communication was excellent both when preparing for her visits and throughout my time away. I loved seeing pictures of the kitties each day. I will definitely outreach to her again the next time I need a cat sitter.”


“Savannah was fantastic! We hired her to drop-in on our border collie for ten days over Christmas and New Year’s. She was such a trooper between the holiday and late night check-ins and also got a long great with our two cats. Will definitely be using her in the future for our pet sitting needs!”

“Lynden and Timothy have been taking my pups out for potty breaks on days I work late. They’ve been fantastic and always take a few cute pics and leave a note.”


About: I am a healthcare provider who is looking to help fur babies and their parents with walks and care during my time off. I currently have one German Shepherd dog named Tula and two one eyed cats named Winky and Willy. Tula and I love our time outdoors exploring and I look forward to sharing that with your fur baby. I have experience with a variety of ages and breeds of dogs in addition to some basic training. I hope I can be a helpful fit for you and your family! With my schedule I often have days off during the week that I am able to utilize my time to help care for others fur babies. I understand the difficulty finding someone who cares for your baby as much as you do, and that is why I am choosing to help others with that when I can. I am willing and able to feed, walk, play, and give all the attention needed for your baby. I have done basic training and am willing to keep up on training consistency while I am spending time with them.

“Michelle is wonderful. She was attentive to my kitty while we were gone and also helped with a few light watering chores for my garden. I will definitely have her back.”


“Cheryl was an excellent dog sitter for us! It was out first time having her take care of our fur baby, Lola. Cheryl had a good connection with Lola right away during the meet and greet and also communicated well with us then in helping us get to know her a bit and about the logistics of the care. During the 4 day pet sitting gig with a few drop in visits each day, she did an excellent job keeping us in the loop during each visit about how Lola seemed or what she did. That and the fact that she added pictures each visit helped me feel Lola was getting well cared for. Some of the pics were adorable, I might add :). Oh yeah, and she generously even left us some human treats on her last visit! I will definitely reach out to Cheryl again for future fur baby care needs!”


“Again, thank you so much Tiana for taking care of our fur babies! It always makes our time away easier knowing that someone who cares is keeping our cats happy and safe. Happy New Year!”


“Regina clearly loves animals! My two dogs and cat warmed up to her right away. She was responsive and communicative. Will definitely consider booking her again in the future.”


About: Rescued two outside cats before and have formed bonds with usually shy dogs/cats. Don’t have much experience with training animals, but will make sure they have enough exercise when needed! Working very low part time as a cook, but love working with animals. This is a great way for me to build my experience in this area. Making sure the water is filled and they are fed on time. I try to take my roommates dog outside when I can, but hot weather doesn’t allow that too much right now

“We needed someone sort of last minute and Tatum was more than willing. She was super nice and friendly. She was even able to pet our shy cat who usually won't come out to meet anyone. Pure magic!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. As a full-time remote nursing student with a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. As a remote nursing student with a flexible schedule and a background in pharmacy and medication management, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

About: What a win win Rover is. Your pets end up happy, you have one less thing to worry about, and I get to help out by caring for my favorite animals on Earth. The animals I’ve owned and met in my life have done so much to lift my spirits and I make it a big part of my life to give the love right back to them. I have over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Everything from feeding, playing, cleaning up, loving on and providing emotional support. I’m confident in my care taking skills and also my ability to communicate with them. You can trust me to do a good job and brighten your companion’s day! Thank you for considering :) I currently have a part time job which leaves me a lot of free time to check in on and spend time with your pets. I am very respectful, considerate, and responsible. I am great at following your lead and thrive with any given information and specific instructions that you provide for me.

On multiple occasions Jana has house sat for us (for a week at a time) which involved caring for the house and yard in addition to our 2 dogs. Jana ensured the dogs were exercised in a safe and appropriate manner, fed and watered on time, and loved as if they were her own. Upon arrival home, everything is always left in the best condition and pets are happy and healthy. Jana is an extremely compassionate and caring individual with an unwavering moral compass. There is no doubt that she will provide the high level of care and love expected of a fellow Rover member.”
