“Lauren was a perfect companion for my cat, Delilah. I was away for a week and loved the updates I received from Lauren. They really gave me peace of mind. I found her to be super trustworthy. But the best part of course was that I arrived home to a happy cat (though she missed me of course). Definitely will book with Lauren again!”


“Kathy did a great job with our two cats!! She sent very detailed and adorable updates with many pictures. We’d love to have her watch the girls again!”


“Responded super fast to our inquiry and was great with our doggies 😊 provided ample updates throughout the drop in which was much appreciated!”


“So responsive and fabulous. Loved so much by our dog. Very grateful”

About: I've helped take care of a variety of dogs since childhood, I raised two puppies into their adulthood, and occasionally will help at pet shelters. I currently work in the San Francisco School District and am generally available from 4:00pm to midnight. I'm also available all day on the weekends. In my client's home, I will be mindful of the house rules and etiquette. I will write straightforward and honest notes of how I've taken care of the pet(s) and what their behavior was like during my visit.

“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”


“My dog loves Jenny and loves it when she comes to let her out and play with her. So happy with the service!”


“Melina was super awesome taking care of our little puppy! I appreciated her taking notes and asking us how we wanted her to take care of Mochi, our dog. Thank you, Melina! We would definitely ask her to come back and watch our dog!”


“Christina took excellent care of our four cats: Shelby, Smokey, Felix and Roxy. Our cats loved her, which is unusual for them meeting someone new. They crowded around her for treats and pets. Christina took some time to play with Felix and Roxy with their favorite toys, which they loved. We will happily work with Christina again when we are away.”


About: I have had cats in my life for as long as I can remember! I began to care for them at age 13! Cat care is in my heart!! I am a retiree who is an avid cat lover! I am mobile with my car, my bike and my feet!! The more cat love, the better! I have not had any client other than friends whose cats (and other pets) I have watched while they have gone away! I listen to the cat parent about needs, wants, what to watch for and then ease into the cat relationship to gain the trust of the animal 🐱

About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

“Tea was fantastic in taking care of my cat over a holiday break. He doesn't take kindly to all strangers but he warmed up to her and was very well taken care of. Your pet will definitely be in good hands!”



“Thanks Cathy. Just got back as our flight was delayed. Everything looks great. Thanks for taking care of Ivan, and, unbeknownst to you, apparently an opossum that’s been hanging out here.”


About: 🐾 Hi! I'm Ari, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my career and personal life. With over 16 years of experience in the veterinary field, I bring a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every in-home visit — especially when it comes to senior pets and dogs with special needs. When caring for pets in a your home, I prioritize calm, consistent routines that support comfort, mobility, and emotional well-being. Following all care instructions carefully, including medication schedules, mobility assistance (such as using harnesses, slings, wheelchair, or leg brace), and any specific feeding or therapeutic needs. My background in **holistic care and rehabilitation** allows me to provide gentle, supportive handling and even incorporate calming techniques, massage, and enrichment when appropriate. For senior pets, I focus on reducing stress, minimizing discomfort, and keeping them safe and happy in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s a drop-in or walk, I ensure pets receive the attentive, compassionate care they deserve — and I keep you updated with detailed notes and photos for peace of mind. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same love I’d give my own. I anm available **Friday, most Saturdays, Sunday, and Monday**. I dedicate these days to pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, making your pet my top priority. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine — I’m here to help! When caring for your pets, I focus on keeping their environment familiar, stress-free, and full of positive attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I know pets thrive on consistency, so I aim to replicate your care as closely as possible.

“Wendy was an amazing pet sitter. Very attentive and caring. Loved the pics she sent us, too. Felt very easy to leave our little buddy in her care. Thank you, Wendy!”



About: I have had dogs in my life from the very beginning. I teach 3rd grade and love dog sittng/walking during the summer. I have had Shih Tzus, Chocolate Labs, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a beautiful Great Dane. I am responsible, loving, and detail oriented. I am also the ultimate play mate for any kind of pup personality. I have 9 years of experience within canine care. I am also able to meet any special needs your furry friends may need. Teacher during the Summer so I am pretty open. Also, I do work during the school year as well. I need pups year round. :) I am an experienced pet owner and dog walker. I have owned multiple dogs, guinea pigs, dwarf hamsters. I’ve been taking care of pets professionally for over a decade.

“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”


“She was so communicative and friendly! My cat adored her. Checking in every step of the way even asking additional questions to make sure my pet was in the best situation possible. Highly recommend, when joining Rover I never thought I would have this good of experience. I am thankful for her.”


“Madilyn was very communicative and did everything exactly as I asked, so I knew my pup was in good hands. So grateful for the help!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life, peaking at seven jack russell terriers and one yellow lab as a child! In my adult life I’ve been taking care of my cat, Solar for the past four years! I’m currently transitioning between jobs and am usually available! I’ll be updating my availability when I next find work, but for the time being I have more or less unlimited availability, just need to get home to care for my own cat, Solar and maybe get a surf or two in! I always clean up after any dogs I walk and can keep any space that I’m watching over clean and tidy in the case of pet or house sitting. I know that cats love consistency and can do my best to fit their current schedule of comfort. I am also able to be friendly and firm with dogs so that they stay in a safe and happy environment for their whole walk. As a kid I had to keep a lot of Jack Russell’s out of trouble, so I can keep them on a leash and out of conflicts with humans or other dogs!
