“Kira was very communicative and I appreciated the photos while I was out and about. My dog quickly trusted being with her the moment I dropped him off. Highly recommend her”



“Hannah did such a great job with our 10mo mini goldendoodle, Lincoln. She is incredibly responsive and would give us detailed daily write ups + pictures on how their day went together. Lincoln was always so excited to see her each morning for daycare. By the end, Lincoln and her sweet dog Billy were basically siblings. She also did a great job reinforcing commands and things we were working on with him as he is still learning. He would always come home happy and well exercised. This was our first time using rover and the quality of care Hannah provided really exceeded my expectations. Thank you Hannah, Lincoln will miss you!”


“Thank you, Anton for taking care of Iggy last minute. I really appreciate you & your flexibility to take care of him, as well as spending another hour caring for him when I had to work later. I will be booking you for future dog sitting appointments. Thank you so much again for your help. You are a lifesaver. And I am so glad Iggy & your dog, Azul are friends!”


“Charles accommodated Simba at the very last minute when we were visiting for the week. He was able to take care of Simba for a few hours while we went to grab dinner at a not so pet friendly establishment. Charles’ communication was prompt and very professional. Simba was happy to see him and ready to go inside with Charles as soon as they met which was very comforting for me.”


“Shelley was great with Ghost! I don't think our dog missed us at all for the day. She was kind enough to take Ghost on an adventure to meet a new dog friend and took great care when unexpected things came up. Sent many photos and videos! We really appreciate the care and attentiveness.”


“Jason took Zumi for the day and I think she had a great time. Sometimes she can be stressed in new environments with new street noises but when I picked her she was calm and seemed like she had a great day. Grateful that Jason was available last minute for a booking!”


About: I grew up with dogs & they have always brought me so much joy. While volunteering at the SPCA, I found my soul dog that was transferred to the shelter newly blind and needing extra care. Navigating life with him has brought my skills and understanding to an entirely new level. I have cared for many breeds of medium & large dogs and am comfortable with smaller sized dogs as well. I am a very patient & an active person so I can adjust to the various needs of your unique family member. I have a flexible work schedule that helps to accommodate my clients needs and allow for last minute requests for walks, drop in or even overnight care. My dog gets along well with all dog breeds and has experience living with puppies. He is respectful of all new friends, if a play date interests you during your request or for overnights.

“Eileen was great with our little guy, very thoughtful about the intro to her sweet dog, super-responsive, and sent photos and updates throughout the evening. She was extremely kind and flexible when our event ran long and our pickup timing changed. We’ll definitely use her again!”


About: Your pet has a safe and loving friend while you're away! I grew up with 2 adorable Bichons and have been in love with dogs ever since. I'm the first person my friends and family reach out to when they are looking for a pet sitter because they know that I genuinely care for all animals. I've lived with and cared for multiple foster pups which taught me the importance of a calm-assertive energy and patience when training and caring for dogs. I recently adopted my own high energy dog and am trying to convince my boyfriend she needs a sibling ... obviously! I make sure that your pet's distinct needs are met and strive to make sure they are comfortable and happy. If you have any questions or would like to meet me before trusting me with your loved one, feel free to reach out to me. Please also provide your drop off/pick up times in your request. I'm excited to be able to continue to care for the animals in my community. I hope that you'll consider me for your next sitter! I am currently looking for work so I have a flexible schedule. I am available every day to care for pets until finding part-time/full-time work. I have a fenced yard that I would be happy to take your pet to for some outdoor private time. I also have a dog that would love to play but this can be discussed beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable.

“Anthony was awesome! He helped us out with a last minute doggy daycare request and was very responsive throughout the day. He sent lots of photos and took great care of Chowder. We will definitely book with him again!”


“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”


“Milo was absolutely incredible! I needed last-minute sitting (literally had to book an hour before), and he saved the day big time! He was super flexible and accommodating with all my weird timing needs. He was great with my incredibly anxious cockapoo. He took her on multiple walks in the day because she has a lot of energy. He also sent me so many pictures and was super communicative. It was my first time using rover and having a stranger sit my dog, so I really appreciated all of the updates and photos. My dog was so happy and comfortable with him despite having separation anxiety. Thank you so much Milo! I’d give 6 stars if I could!”


“A Godsent petsitter!!!! Nicol was amazing! She took an amazing care of my Pomeranian who has anxiety issues. In just several hours Nicol sent me so many photos and updates on how my baby was doing. And seemed like my baby was doing just great enjoying her stay with Nicol! She’s so thoughtful and knows exactly how to handle anxious dog and her anxious parent ? 15 out of 10!!!! I am not from the area but if I ever come back to SF I definitely know who to rely on with watching Ruby! Thank you so much Nicol! Ruby loved you and she says hi!”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my very first time using Rover, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, from the moment I saw Emily’s profile, I felt a strong connection and decided to follow my intuition, and I’m so glad I did. She is absolutely amazing, truly the best! I had considered three different sitters, but something about Emily stood out. I’ve left my Chihuahua/Greyhound mix with two people I personally know before (about seven times in total), but never with someone new from an app, the day before, I was extremely anxious and worried about how it would go, but from the very beginning, Emily gave me such peace of mind, she communicated with me the entire time, sent pictures and videos, and always updated me on how things were going, that constant communication gave me the security I needed to focus on my work and truly relax. What really surprised me was my dog’s reaction, he has extreme separation anxiety, and I was shocked to see how quickly he opened up with Emily, in the photos and videos she sent, I could see how comfortable he was, something I never expected on a first meeting. When I picked him up, I was amazed, as she opened the door, he was so focused on her that he didn’t even notice me right away, that showed me how safe and bonded he felt in her presence. I’m still in awe every time I look back at those photos and videos. Emily made the whole experience smooth, harmonious, and perfect, I’ve already told several people about her, and I will recommend her to anyone who ever asks me about Rover. I’ll be needing a sitter again in September and October, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Emily first, hoping she has availability, because I can’t imagine leaving my dog with anyone else now. Emily truly went above and beyond, She’s incredible, and I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind and the wonderful care she provided. Highly, highly recommended!

Thank you for being so accommodating and sweet with lil’ chips. We also appreciate all the photos and frequent updates as well. You’ve gone out of your way to make sure Chips is comfortable on her first day with you despite her barking so much at the beginning (she has a bit of separation anxiety). Overall, Chips looks happy and tired after coming home. Thanks so much Jo!!

Martin and Robert are wonderful! Due to a family emergency, I found myself in San Francisco and had to work from home, so my dog needed doggie day care at the last minute. I am so lucky that they were available for most of the days I was in SF. Everything about them was great, and the icing on the cake was parking was super-easy, which in San Francisco is rare. The second day, Lizzie pulled me across the street toward their house and went running up the stairs. She was so excited so see them everyday. They are the best, and I hope Lizzie gets to go back there on a future trip to the city. Most highly recommended!

Mayah is an outstanding dog sitter who provided exceptional care for my rescue pup. She maintained a thoughtful schedule with regular walks throughout the day and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was how quickly she connected with my dog - I could see from her updates that my pup felt comfortable and happy in her care. It's clear that Mayah has a natural way with dogs and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. I wouldn't hesitate to book her services again and would highly recommend her to other pet parents looking for reliable, caring pet care.

Marina loves dogs and takes great care of Alfie, my Old English Sheepdog. She’ll post several photos of walks around Potrero Hill and her home through out the day and is always responsive. He is always around a good set of dogs and he looks happy and tired when I pick him up.

Hannah did such a great job with our 10mo mini goldendoodle, Lincoln. She is incredibly responsive and would give us detailed daily write ups + pictures on how their day went together. Lincoln was always so excited to see her each morning for daycare. By the end, Lincoln and her sweet dog Billy were basically siblings. She also did a great job reinforcing commands and things we were working on with him as he is still learning. He would always come home happy and well exercised. This was our first time using rover and the quality of care Hannah provided really exceeded my expectations. Thank you Hannah, Lincoln will miss you!

Charles accommodated Simba at the very last minute when we were visiting for the week. He was able to take care of Simba for a few hours while we went to grab dinner at a not so pet friendly establishment. Charles’ communication was prompt and very professional. Simba was happy to see him and ready to go inside with Charles as soon as they met which was very comforting for me.

Lauren was quick to respond to my last minute request to watch my puppy as I had to go into work. I’m very protective over her, and Lauren truly made me feel so comfortable! She provided updates throughout her stay & I could tell Penny was in great care. Her Frenchie Penelope is also adorable. Will be using Lauren in the future!

Kimberly was soo great. We traveled to San Francisco from San Diego and needed a dog sitter during a Padres/Giants game. Kimberly was so communicative, sent photos and updates and loved our dog who has some separation anxiety. We are so glad we found her and recommend her 100%.
