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!

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: 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.

Nicole did an amazing job during our drop in visits this weekend. Two of our dogs unfortunately got sick (hopefully just separation anxiety) and Nicole kept us informed, cleaned up as best as possible, stayed extra long to take care of them and overall went above and beyond to make us and our dogs as comfortable as possible give the circumstances.

I have three very picky kitty cats. I set up a meet and greet with Sara knowing full well that all three of the cats would scatter and she might not see them at all that day. Boy was I wrong instead of running two of them came to the door to greet her. The third cat didn't run away and even let Sara come pet her! I think it is safe to say that Sara does have some magic or charm that my kitty cats fell in love with. I felt secure and safe having her taking care of my cats, going above and beyond even. I felt at ease giving her the key to our house knowing everything would be okay. I also love using Rover because that is an extra measure of protection for my home and pets. Thank you Sara and Rover!

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 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.

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.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have one of my own, so I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. I also have years of experience with dogs—walking, feeding, playing, and overnight house sitting. What truly sets me apart is the level of medical care I’ve provided. When my late cat became ill, I had to administer subcutaneous IV fluids and oral medications daily. That experience taught me not only technical skills but also patience, gentleness, and how to comfort pets during vulnerable moments. I’m confident handling medications, understanding pet behavior, and creating a calm environment for animals of all ages and temperaments. Your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets with plenty of time, energy, and attention. I’m available for house sitting and drop-ins during the week, and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away! When I care for pets, whether in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines and preferences to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and keep a calm, pet-friendly environment. I always prioritize their well-being, monitor behavior closely, and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was a kid! Friends and family regularly trust me as their go to pet sitter when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently have one dog and three cats who love living with my roommate and me, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets and personalities. I stay active with regular walks and runs and would love to bring your pup along for some extra exercise and fun! I currently work full-time, but have a pretty flexible work from home schedule. On days I work from home, I am able to provide full-time dog care. Days I go into the office, I am able to provide care from 6-7 am and then after 5 pm. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, and home care basics. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!

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!

I had long weekend plans and was unable to bring my dogs with me, so I booked Ana to come feed them and walk them for 4 days. Ana was timely, communicative, very nice and I know my dogs felt comfortable and safe with her. This meant so much to me, thank you Ana!! Highly recommended.
