“I have a “scaredy cat” who doesn’t usually warm up to anyone outside our household, but she apparently liked Deborah enough so the friendship is even immortalized on the photos. In addition, Deborah is very conscientious and respectful. She remembered all the instructions and the house quirks, so we actually stopped worrying after a few of her visits. We hope to have Deborah’s help with our spoiled princess again in the future.”
“I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!”
“Irina did a wonderful job taking care of our animals. She was very prompt and attentive and sent photo and text updates every for check in. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Irina!”
About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 30 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve fostered pets for two local rescue organizations and have also volunteered extensively with a well-known local rescue, including at mobile adoption events, screening potential adopters, and conducting home visits. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and care for neighbors, friends, and co-workers over the years. I’m very comfortable caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities, quirks, and routines. With two cats and two dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate additional pets throughout the week, including daytime visits as well as mornings and evenings. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule and routines as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of flexibility in my home to accommodate visiting pets safely and comfortably. My dogs are socialized and crate-trained, and I also have a separate pet room where my cats can stay if needed, so I’m able to keep animals separated when appropriate. I know that every pet has its own routine and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally happy to follow their usual routine and keep things as familiar and consistent as possible while you’re away.
“Sofia took such good care of our shy kitty Lady while we were gone for a week. She sent photos and updates and took good care of our home as well. She even left a sweet thank you note and a little treat for us. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 13 years, including my own special needs dog, Jimmy. We adopted him from the Humane Society, and since then, he’s been part of our family. Jimmy has required extra care due to medical and mobility issues, and through him, I’ve learned how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with: Special needs and senior dogs Administering medications Building trust with shy or anxious pets Providing a calm and loving home environment Your pet will be treated like my own — with love, respect, and plenty of cuddles. Whether you're away for a day or a week, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like family. I'm home and available most of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just quiet companionship, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog and have experience with cats, pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy being active and love spending time with animals — they truly bring joy to my day! I care for pets in my own home or through drop-in visits — I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, quiet, and loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding times and medications. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need while you're away — food, fresh water, outdoor breaks, and lots of love. I’m respectful of your space and always follow your care instructions closely.
About: I am experienced caring for dogs, cats, birds and other pets! I am available for dog walking and house sits for dogs, cats, or other animals. Currently, I am only able to host dogs and small animals in my home. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages of dogs. I work from home where I spend as much time as possible with my dog and 3 parakeets. My dog Olive loves other dogs so she can help your pet adjust to our house during his or her stay. I am diligent about pet care. My yard is not fenced, so I take the dogs on several short on-leash walks around the yard and at least one longer walk during the day, usually in the evening.
“Jasmarie was really great. She assured me that my dog would be well taken care of while my husband and I were out of town and she delivered. I really appreciate it that she could relate to my dog's unique temperament and behavior .She was timely, dependable, paid attention to details, gave reassuring reports and photos during her visits and I would definitely use her again.”
“Ali was great doing drop ins for our kitties! She came at the times agreed on and was super communicative. We felt confident that our dear pets were safe and taken care of. Thanks Ali! Would definitely recommend.”
“Victor took fantastic care of our cat Riley. He gave a special treat on Riley’s Birthday, which was so touching. Communication was excellent. We recommend Victor and will use him again”
About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years around the world! Neighbors, friends, families and acquaintances have all trusted me with the livelihoods of their loved ones. I can administer medication, go on as many walks as needed, drive or walk to the dog park or just cuddle on the sofa if you pet loves that too! I work as a school teacher and am an online grad student but am able to come and go as I please so my schedule is quite flexible! I am very mindful of your pets care, safety and security while they are in my trust. I can crate your pet, calm them down and care for them as per your instruction.
About: I’ve worked cared for high-energy breeds, shy rescues, senior dogs with mobility issues, and everything in between. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or administering meds, I’m here to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time for walks and visits. My pup is a rescue and is reactive to other dogs, so I can’t offer boarding at this time. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I respect your space, follow all routines closely, and keep things calm, clean, and stress-free. I’ll provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I don’t offer care in my own home due to my own rescue dog’s reactivity.
About: I am a volunteer at the local Milo Foundation where I foster and walk/socialize dogs that can have many special needs! I respect each animal's space and needs. It is true what they say, they all have their own little personalities. I have always been very fond of animals and have taken care of various kinds of dogs, horses, cows and goats growing up! In college, I took care of many of my friends' pets on multiple occasions and I have fostered cats and dogs in the past as well. I will provide tailored care for your pets; depending on their personalities. I am extremely active, so if your pet needs a long hike, I will be there! If your pet needs a more relaxed walk, that is fine too! If your pet needs a cuddle, I will be the first cuddle bug. If your pet needs space, I will do that too! I work 9-5PM, so I will be able to walk your dogs and socialize them in the AM before 9 and after 5PM. I will gladly be willing to spend more time on the weekends as needed. I am also happy to travel longer distances to share time with your fur babies! I am a patient, devoted and energetic animal lover. I value each animals' space, and read their behaviors and body language before deciding the appropriate strategy to socialize with them.
About: Two for one! My partner and I take an active role in your pet's overall wellness. We like to think we can be there for your loved fur-one when you need to go out of town or simply need a small break from your day-to-day routines. We are a family of fur-lovers and have a couple of years experience caring for dogs of all sizes and special needs. We are big fans of the outdoors and see your pet as our motivation to get up and move! But, we also are huge couch potatoes and will spoil your dog rotten at home with endless amount of snuggles and treats (all depending on your dogs overall needs). I work from home while my partner tends to have a more spontaneous schedule (entrepreneur life) - so we are very accommodating to majority schedules, week days and weekends. We usually keep dogs on the leash at all times unless owner specific requests not too. Once we’ve established a good relationship with them, we’ll usually take them to the dog park at let them have a bit of fun.
About: I'm super reliable, very patient and attentive when left in care of your fur babies I like to chill and lounge on the couch with them or go on long walks or spend time at the park P.s will follow special instructions if there is any needed to follow :)) For days that I have available for pet sittings I like to know if they will have a schedule to follow or not so I usually go by that but I have most days off with just gardening to do or stuff to do around the house/lounging or hiking/ running errands. I make sure to keep any toys, food or medication nearby. I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need more attention than others or that may be more independent.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Sobrante
It was my boyfriend and I’s first time hiring a pet sitter for our dogs. We researched boarding facilities, but ultimately felt that being in the comfort of their own home was best. Our dog Digby is Initially wary of strangers (and cautiously barks loudly) but warmed up quickly to William. I absolutely recommend William and will use him again in the future. He’s trust worthy, friendly, and engaging with my dogs. He followed instructions and gave me so much peace of mind with the numerous updates and pictures. I really appreciate William helping out with my dogs on such short notice! William is definitely Hunter and Digby’s new friend. Thank you so much!
We’re so glad we found Patti! After using many different pet sitters over the years, I can genuinely say that Patti has been the most authentic and genuinely caring sitter we’ve found! She is someone you can truly trust and rely on. We were away for three weeks, and she took wonderful care of our lovely cat, Mellow through a combination of drop-in visits and house sitting. She was incredibly attentive, trustworthy, easy to work with, and most importantly, genuinely caring toward Mellow. We came home to a very happy, relaxed cat and a clean and organized home. Patti also thoughtfully kept an eye on the feral cats in our backyard and made sure their automatic feeder was refilled on time. Her rates are also reasonable, and she was incredibly accommodating with us. Since our stay was quite long and some dates fell under higher holiday rates, she kindly worked with us and adjusted the booking rates on her end, which we really appreciated. You can truly tell that Patti genuinely loves and cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing Mellow was with her, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Kira was great, she came over prior for a meet and greet, and a few days later did a visit with our dog. She followed directions perfectly and took our dog on a little walk while we were gone. She was communicative and you can tell she's seasoned in taking care of dogs. Would happily use her again.
Irina was fantastic! She was patient and kind during our meet and greet while my senior dog, Kona, warmed up to her. Kona is new to the area, so it meant a lot to find someone who made her feel comfortable and cared for. I had long days at a company training, and I was so thankful knowing my girl was being looked after. Kona looked so happy in the photos Irina sent, and I really appreciated the peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Laura has been absolutely amazing. She has gone above and beyond every time we’ve needed her, and tonight she truly saved us. My husband had an unexpected flight delay, and without hesitation, she stepped in to let our dog, Peaches, out late at night so she wouldn’t be alone until morning. Knowing someone so reliable, kind, and trustworthy is looking after your pets brings such peace of mind. She genuinely cares, communicates well, and treats your pets like they’re her own. I can’t recommend Laura enough…we’re so grateful for her!
I have rebooked Michael multiple times to take care of my cats, because I always know they are in great hands. Our first time booking, Michael suggested leaving out a bowl of water next to our electric fountain in case of power outage, which I had never considered, but showed me that he was truly thinking about the best care for my cats. Thanks for always taking the best care of my cats, Michael!

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
