About: For the past couple of years, I’ve been helping friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. it fits in easily because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s morning feedings, walks, playtime, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m flexible and happy to adjust my schedule to match each pet’s routine, so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Whether I’m watching pets at my place or staying at a client’s home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and any special needs they might have. I give them lots of attention, keep things clean, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Basically, I treat them like one of my own!

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.
“Nicole was an excellent dog sitter for my two pups. She arrived on time, communicated well, and provided my pups with the love and care they needed while I was away.”

“Ellie was great! We had a very last minute need for a dog sitter and Ellie was ready to help. She is very attentive, kind and responsible. We highly recommend Ellie to help with your pets :))”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 3 years now, and i love and care for them as my own. I love dogs and it would bd my pleasure to take care of yours! I am currently attending PBA and I am on the tennis team so I can do daily walks in between or on the weekends if needed! I have a patio and a dog park close where I could take them to play. I could also be of great help around the house if needed!
“Morgan was so great!! She watched our 9 month old pug for a whole weekend while we were away for a wedding and we felt so comfortable and happy with her! She sent updates and took great care of our pup and our home! She left the house clean and tidy and kept our angel happy! Thank you, Morgan!”

About: Looking for a sitter who will love your dog like their own? Look no further! I have been dog sitting and walking ever since I was young. I love active pups and cuddly pups!

I am willing to do walks, pop-ins, or dog sit. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in both home and shelter settings, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently in medical residency, and as an MD I bring a calm, responsible, and detail-oriented approach—so your pet is always in safe, attentive hands. I also have experience with basic training for young pets like house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Most of all, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency. I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I adjust my schedule to ensure pets are always cared for before and after other commitments. I also set aside extra time weekly for longer walks, enrichment, and cleaning. I am currently in MD residency, so some weeks are busier than others, but I am very communicative—please let me know your needs and I will do my best to make it work. I provide a safe and calm environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care. I follow all owner instructions closely and maintain household security. In a client’s home, I respect the space, value privacy and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
“Buddy loves Clare. She is attentive and watches for what he needs and wants (mostly cuddles and play). She sends photos and videos every day which we love. Could not be happier or more confident in leaving Buddy in her care”


“Anthony did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs and cat! We felt lucky to have him and didn’t worry about a thing during our week away. He sent lots of updates and pictures and was also happy to bring in our mail and accept a few packages! We will definitely try to book him again anytime that we’re away!!”
“Chyna is an excellent dog sitter. She watched my Frenchie for a week and he has a very particular set of instruction due to some health issues that Chyna followed to a tee. I highly recommend her. Thank you!!”

About: I have a senior German Shepherd, who is still very strong, but unfortunately highly reactive to other dogs. Because of this, I have experience with patience, but also situational awareness and constantly paying attention while walking him. I understand the needs of all ages of dogs, am experienced with giving medications (to a very picky dog), and truly enjoying seeing pets being happy and well cared for. I am available on weekends, but because I work from home, I can sometimes accommodate short trips during the day. I can provide some evening care with enough advanced notice. I would treat someone’s pet, and their home, with respect, while making their dog feel as comfortable as possible. I will play and be silly with your pet, while being professional and careful with your home.
About: Hi! My name is Jesse, and I’m a 21-year-old college student with a passion for staying active and helping others. While I’m new to Rover and don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’m responsible, reliable, and attentive to details. I currently work in customer service roles where communication, punctuality, and creating a positive experience are essential. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, overnight care, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a student with a flexible class schedule, pet sitting fits easily into my week. I have plenty of open time for mid-day drop-ins, feeding, walks, and evening visits, making it easy to accommodate your pet's routine. Whether visiting your home or caring for your pet, safety and clear communication are my top priorities. I follow all feeding and care instructions strictly, keep living spaces clean, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe.

Susana was absolutely wonderful with Ryder! She took such loving and thoughtful care of him while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She was attentive, caring, and truly treated Ryder like her own. We are incredibly grateful and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet.

We had the pleasure of having Marvin take care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marvin is a responsible, kind, and trustworthy young man who truly cared for our pets as if they were his own. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved him! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Siddonie did an absolute AMAZING job taking care of our german shepherd, Luna! Our previous sitter cancelled the DAY OF our cruise while we were already boarding the ship so I was panicking, but Siddonie was able to drop everything and take care of our sweet girl. Luna is very shy and has a hard time eating her food right away, but Siddonie made her comfortable enough to get her to eat and I am so thankful. I would definitely rebook Siddonie in the future!!

Andres did an awesome job taking care of Stewie and my senior dog PJ who needs extra care. He played with Stewie and gave PJ all his medications as directed. He sent me regular pictures and updates while I was away which I appreciated so much. When I returned home, everything was clean and orderly. I will definitely be using him again. Thank you Andres!

Toni is one of a kind! Luckily she was available to watch my cat Maggie on a quick out of town overnight stay. She‘s my cat sitter to go! Have used her services before and was so happy to see she was available. As always, the house was impeccable, and all instructions followed..most importantly though my Maggie really likes her. Thanks Toni for being you, I am so glad I found you!

Somyr was absolutely wonderful with Kingston. From the very beginning, she kept us informed and at ease, sending sweet updates and pictures that truly meant a lot to us. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our love bug and treated him with so much care and attention. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and loved made all the difference. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter. I highly recommend Somyr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. When she left, Kingston was looking for her. My husband had to take him out front to show him that she was gone.
