About: I was raised surrounded by animals of all kinds that brought me so much joy and knowledge. I’m comfortable with tiny insects to large farm animals. I’ve done bottle feeding and walks with young animals. I’ve moved from home but would love to continue caring for animals all around! I work in education so my summer is open for anything! Only my Sundays am I usually busy in the morning to afternoon. I’ll seek to meet your needs as best as I can! :) My services will cater to you and your pet’s needs! I’ll always want to read the room to know the pets needs, while ensuring I stick to their care-schedule and keep them fed, entertained, and well kept in a clean environment!

Sara was wonderful. She helped us out last minute and was super patient with our anxious dog. She worked with him each time to get more comfortable with each other that by the end, he didn’t even bark at her. We’re super grateful for her kindness and communication.

Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!

Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our disgruntled pit bull. In the process of switching sitters and our dog was not being friendly at all when Stephanie showed up, despite the previous meet & greet. Scary to have a pit growling and barking at you but Stephanie was able to win her over. Relieved and impressed, will be rebooking Stephanie regularly.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I’m a dog owner myself. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while keeping you updated every step of the way. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and well cared for.

Tara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.

About: I have owned dogs for a combined time of over 10 years. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and cuddling with them. Over the summer I have a very flexible schedule as I am a teacher on summer break looking to make some extra cash. I am currently available most weekdays but not weekends. I am an early riser and love to go on walks. I’m looking forward to meeting your pup and spending time with them. I have a fenced back yard and one calm Great Dane/ Lab mix we adopted over a year ago named Danner. We do not have children or any other pets. I would treat your dog as I do my own, with love, care and compassion.

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

About: I have worked with multiple shelters providing for animals in need since I was younger (perks of having a mom that works with animals for a living). Not only do I love animals but I enjoy the new challenges that each individual pet offers. :) I have a very active lifestyle, and run a blog page where I make motivational/ lifestyle videos to help aid in getting people to move bodies in nature and enjoy what life has to offer. Mental wellness is a big topic of mine and I often talk about how much animals can help. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I work a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day — including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I make time to keep pets happy, safe, and on a consistent routine. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and respect. In my home or the client’s, I follow their usual routines closely, from feeding times to favorite activities. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, and I always keep communication open with pet parents with updates and photos.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.

About: My friends and neighbors count on me to check on and sit their animals, and I regularly walk my own pups with their neighborhood furry friends. I grew up with Rottweilers, and have embraced small dogs in recent years. I'm 6ft and 200lbs, and am comfortable with a variety of sizes of dogs. I currently have total flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help with pet care throughout the day. I'm just getting started on Rover, but I've been a dedicated pet parent for almost a decade and love the way it enriches my life. I'd be happy to extend the same level of care and understanding I give to my own pets to yours. I live with my two pups in a small condo complex, where I have an enclosed back patio and immediate access to a very walkable neighborhood. I am comfortable entering friends' homes and allowing the animals to acclimate at their own pace, and am just as happy taking pets for walks as I am keeping them company in their own homes.

About: I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and caring for my own Morkie since he was a puppy and regularly helping care for a family member’s Bernedoodle from puppyhood as well. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, administering medication when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have also completed numerous dog-sitting jobs for family friends, caring for pets while families were out of town and adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. In addition, I volunteered for 4 years at Pets in Need Animal Shelter in Redwood City, where I worked as both a dog and cat caregiver and helped socialize animals to prepare them for adoption. Responsibilities included cleaning spaces, feeding animals, providing enrichment and exercise, and helping animals feel comfortable in a shelter environment. I also occasionally volunteered during outreach events that provided pet care services for unhoused individuals and their animals in San Francisco. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I have availability during weekdays and weekends and try to be as accommodating as possible to each pet owner’s schedule. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a pet’s normal routine, I’m happy to provide dependable care and updates while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, attention, and a focus on making them feel safe and comfortable, whether in my home or a client’s home. I live in an apartment with a park directly across the street, making walks and outdoor time easy and convenient. I always try to follow a pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any instructions from owners to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away.

Sara was fantastic with our crew of four cats! She was diligent about Shadow's health issues and Peanut's medication routine, and sent regular updates that put our minds at ease while we were away. She's clearly experienced with cats who need a little extra care, and our whole household was happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend — we'll definitely book her again

We feel very fortunate to have found Jill! One of the things we appreciated right away is that she lives in our neighborhood, which made scheduling and communication very convenient. From the moment she came over for the meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was completely comfortable with both cats and dogs. She asked thoughtful questions, took the time to get to know our pets, and immediately inspired confidence. Jill has cared for our pets twice now, including one visit with our Golden Retriever in addition to our cats. She took excellent care of everyone, sent regular, detailed updates with plenty of photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We also appreciated the little things, like noticing and closing windows that had been left open before we left. We are already planning to book Jill again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.

Mari seems so nice! You know when you look at a person & can just tell they’re genuinely a good human-being? That’s how I felt about Mari & what made me feel comfortable choosing a fellow dog-lover who is intuitive, patient & understanding. She had clear communication, was supportive of mine & Maggie’s needs, & followed everything exactly how I requested. Mari did such a great job dealing w/ our 1yr old Labrador who is nervous around strangers. I highly recommend Mari & would love to have her help again in the future. Thanks for being there for us when we needed you!
