“Lizbeth took great care of our two senior cats! She was patient with our picky senior orange, and kept us updated with lots of photos and comments throughout our time away. She was respectful of our house and overall a friendly and genuine person!”


“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”

“Ruby has cat sit for me and took my dog on walks many times at this point. She is always reliable and I can just tell that she loves animals. She treats them as if they were her own and my pets love seeing her as well. Highly recommended!!”

“Thank you for such thorough accounting for everything our boy did on every walk and visit, we truly appreciated it and it helped all of us be able to have a worry-free time away from our dog!”

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.
About: Im easy going and patient. Dog dad of two, so I understand how important it is to respect your dog’s routine and individual needs. I have free time on weekends to take care of your pets. I have pets of my own, so walks, feeding, potty breaks, and playtime are already part of my daily routine. I follow each pets routine and your instructions for feeding, walks and care. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
“Michelle took good care of our cat while we were away. She was very easy to communicate with, on time, and cleaned up nicely. We will be using her services in the future for sure. Thanks Michelle !”

“Amazing!!! Love Ivana’s prompt, and honest communication. She is flexible and extremely reliable. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and settled in nicely. She kept us updated and sent pictures! Our dogs are our babies and her care gave us so much peace to leave them in her hands.”

About: I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with over 3 years of professional experience and a lifelong passion for animal care that began when I was 12 years old. I provide loving, active, and attentive care for both dogs and cats. Having grown up with my own cat and dog (who now lives happily with my parents), I truly understand the responsibility and emotional bond pet owners share with their animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring gentle care. I focus on daily exercise, play, feeding, and companionship tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet owners can expect regular photo and video updates, a safe and enriching environment, and complete peace of mind while they’re away. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals combined with consistent reliability and professionalism. I’m working full time but I am off at 4pm so I’m more flexible during the evening so if you need someone at those time I’m ready to serve. And also if you’re away on vacation. But I’m free on Saturdays. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a decent amount of room in the living room. With a patio. But I’ll take the dogs out to the park more for high activity.
“Gina was great with my cat who warmed up really quickly to her. She is very friendly and has the patience to allow pets to get familiar with her. She made sure my cat was getting the care and playtime needed during the 4 days we were out of state. I highly recommend booking with her to watch your pets.”

About: Hi! I’ve been a parent to my current pups for ten years, from puppies to their early senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs (Nemo is three legged+epileptic), active dogs, and fearful dogs. I have 4 years of volunteer experience at animal shelters as an assistant dog trainer and shelter dog socializer, so I’m comfortable with the whole spectrum of pup personalities! I have a flexible work calendar, so I can work around your schedule. Fridays and weekends are great for outings, especially if they like hikes or long walks For simplicity, I like to keep my dogs at home so I can give yours all the attention they need. If you want them socialized, I’m more than happy to take them to the dog park or a public park nearby. Of course, I will only do what you & your dog are 100% comfortable with
About: I love animals and have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, including special needs. I’ve also walked dogs, given meds, trimmed nails, and raised newborn kittens. I always try to understand each dog’s personality and study canine behavior to build trust and connection. I treat every pet like my own. At the moment, I work as a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the entire week for your pet’s needs. I am a calm and easygoing person, and animals usually feel very relaxed around me. I can either visit your home or host your pets at mine. I also have a beautiful backyard garden.
“Itzel did a wonderful job taking care of Laddoo while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly put in effort to make him comfortable. Laddoo can be shy with new people, but Itzel was patient and consistent with playtime and treats, which really helped him warm up to her. She followed his care routine carefully and sent helpful updates after each visit. There was one evening when she had car trouble and arrived late, but she communicated proactively and made sure Laddoo was taken care of. She was also very receptive to feedback about safety concerns with the windows. We appreciated her genuine care and attention to detail. Would definitely book with Itzel again!”

About: My priority is your dog's comfort. I will work to gain their trust and become best friends! I also have experience giving medication and brushing teeth. I am currently a substitute teacher so most days of the week and weekend I am home. My partner and I are homebodies so you can often find us snuggling with our dog Bambi. Bambi and I love to go to the dog park and hiking. Whether your dog is young or old, playful or independent, they will fit in here! I have one friendly dog Bambi that enjoys making new dog friends! Bambi is very small, 8 lbs, but he does well with dogs of all size. We usually go to the dog park several times a week so he can socialize.

About: Hi there! My name is Molly. I am a responsible pet sitter with over 6 years of experience caring for all fuzzy friends of all ages and sizes. Skilled in creating engaging and fun environment with the priority for animal's safety and well-being. Trusted by parents and with a mutual loving affection for all cared-for animals. Feel free to reach out to me whenever, I look forward to talking with you all! Your part-time cat savior is here.

About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.

“Hope took great care of Biscuit for us. She arrived on time, followed Biscuit’s meal routine, walked her and got her back into the crate reliably. Hope sent me updates and photos, keeping me in the loop on how things were going. Biscuit enjoyed her time with Hope and we would certainly ask Hope to care for Biscuit again. Thanks, Hope!”

About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.
About: My greatest concern when it comes to working with Rover.com is that you, your pet, and myself all have an awesome and positive relationship. If we aren't a good fit, then the money isn't worth it! I am a local artisan with a flexible schedule and experience pet sitting who finds it rewarding to care for animals while earning some extra income. Every pet deserve's loves and attention when their human family is away. That's why I only take care of one dog/cat/family at a time. This ensures that there's no scheduling difficulties and your furry friend is well cared for. I’m always excited to meet new friends so drop me a line if you need some time. Thanks for visiting my profile :) : Im a studio artist and work from home so I have plenty of time to help care for your fuzzy friends, whether its a drop in visit a walk or something else, I’d love to meet you and your pup :) I have a fenced yard a stay near the bay trail so getting outdoors is very easy. I prefer not to take clients dogs to dog parks for safety reasons but walks and attention are certainly part of the experience.

Amazing!!! Love Ivana’s prompt, and honest communication. She is flexible and extremely reliable. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and settled in nicely. She kept us updated and sent pictures! Our dogs are our babies and her care gave us so much peace to leave them in her hands.

Claudia was fantastic with Toto - she played with him while I was traveling every workday, she gave consistent and comprehensive updates, she clearly cared for his wellbeing, and was highly professional. I will definitely enjoy working with her again and recommend her to others

Heleen is our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust to look after our boy. We have a very shy cat, but he feels completely comfortable with her. On top of that, Heleen is incredibly easy to communicate with, practical, and reliable. She gets things done!

Angie is an amazing sitter! She took care of my pup, Effie, like she was her own. Angie engaged Effie for daily exercise, administered medicine, took care of potty breaks, and made sure she had food and water. I enjoyed the daily reports while I was away on vacation, and my dog is slow to warm up to people and liked Angie a lot. I will hire her again!

Lizbeth took great care of my cat while I was gone for 10 days. She was consistent with her drop ins, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated on anything important. I really appreciated that she checked in on very short notice when my litter robot threw a concerning error to make sure my cat was safe. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a cat sitter!

Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.

Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.
