“Ashley took amazing good care of both my senior dog and my home. It was great being able to travel and not worry about Dottie getting all her meds at the right time or her slightly complicated meals created. Loved getting daily updates and returned to a happy dog and clean house.”
“Dennis is a considerate and kind person, a wonderful dog sitter for us and our German Shepherd. Our GSD is older and requires a cart when being walked. Dennis took the time to ask for what he needed to feel comfortable getting her into and out of the cart, making sure he had the dietary and medication needs defined, and meeting with us to ensure everyone thought it was a good fit. I highly recommend Dennis if you need a pet sitter! He left our home just as it was when we left, and we had the peace of mind of knowing our special-needs dog was well cared for while we were away.”
“Words can never express my gratitude for Trina! After going on a camping trip and unexpectedly being out of range of cell service I had great comfort in knowing my fur child was with her. She went above and beyond to care and help manage while life took sits twists and turns. Highly recommend”
“Elisa took such good care of Luna and Yoshi! She kept me updated during my trip every single day and I came home to happy fur babies and a CLEAN and orderly home. Thank you Elisa for peace of mind in knowing my doggos were in great hands.”
“Best dogsitter ever. Sam handled our frightened little reactive baby with excellent care! We've had a lot of Rovers, and I've never felt so at ease or so sure that our babies were being loved as I did with Sam. We came home to a clean home and two happy girls with wagging tails.”
“Never any issues with charlii! Give me a very helpful update on her new wet food, which I can now monitor more closely. I wish I could have her come every single time. She’s really the best.”
“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”
“Yena did such a wonderful job watching our dog Chester while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and made sure to share updates (and photos!) with us throughout the weekend. She even watered our plants all three days and left us some precious instax photos of Chester! We look forward to hiring her again- she’s very responsible and Chester clearly loved her!”
“Cara cared for my senior dog, Frito, while I was out of town for the weekend. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. She also administered his oral medications and took him for lots of walks. I felt like Frito was in good hands the entire time, which allowed me to enjoy my friend's wedding celebration. Frito was also in good spirits when I got back! I will be sure to contact Cara for any future dog-sitting needs.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Ariana was amazing! Took out booking very last minute and took the best care of our dogs! Great communication, lots of photos, and she left a really sweet drawing of them. Highly recommend!!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“Sam is fantastic, a true master communicator with dogs. She adores living their lives with them, taking them out on the trails and playing their favorite games. Couldn’t be happier to leave our pup in her hands when we’re out of town.”
“Tia is an absolute gem of a human! My babies adored her. She was attentive, caring, and so sweet! I have an XXXL dog + a medium o up & a cat & she spent time with each of them, walked the pups twice a day, and made time to play with my kitten. 10/10 recommend- she’s fantastic!”
“After a last minute cancelation, Tony was a lifesaver. His experience is evident from our first meet-up, and our 14 yr old pibble Charlotte was at ease with him during out first meet and greet. Would not hesitate to entrust our pup and home to his care again. 5 Stars.”
About: Active sitter who grew up with rescue dogs and understands their needs with both empathy and care. Experienced in house‑sitting for dogs—matching their routines while you're away. Energetic and ready for jogs or scenic nature drives to keep tails wagging. Also have experience house sitting for cats. Am available for early morning/evening walks in Oakland; able to house sit in the Danville/San Ramon area as I work nearby! Weekends are very available. Unable to offer services in my own home, but understand the importance of keeping dogs on leashes in non-fenced areas, and making sure that all doors, potential areas to escape are closed! In addition I will ensure that any potential hazards are prevented, and that areas are clean and sanitary for pets. I also can provide frequent updates and photos if you would like
About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.
“Nicky was great! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, an b d left my home tidy. Pancake was happy and smiley in all the pics. What more can you ask for in a dog sitter. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future!”
“My little Taco loved Louis and Louis took care of my pup like his own. He was clear with communication and suggested we meet for a meet and greet which was such a great idea given how mistrustful my Taco can be with strangers. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”

Navaeh was amazing with Franklin! She was very responsive and made sure I got daily updates and photos of him. She was super sweet and Franklin loved his time with her. I felt super comfortable leaving my cat with her and would definitely have her stay again! Thank you so much for giving him so much love and care!!
We had a great experience with Cara. She was very mature, reliable and responsible. She clearly took really good care of the house as well. The thing I appreciated most was how communicative and responsive she was. She really listened and was always quick to reply as well as send pictures 😊
Issel has watched my dog and 2 cats twice now. She is very responsive and takes great care of them. I leave a bunch of directions about their feeding, etc. She sends me pics of them which i appreciate as I miss them.Everyone looks happy when I get home. The house is just as I left it when I return. I will not hesitate to use Issel again!
Alix was so communicative and reliable! Even when I was dealing with flight delays and difficulties scheduling my trip, I felt safe leaving my dog Sam with her. And Sam clearly loves Alix! My dog escaped out my door to try and greet Alix when she returned my keys.
We are very happy to have found Lisette to housesit and take care of our new dog, Pony. This was our first trip away after adopting a dog with separation anxiety and some leash reactivity, so we were a bit nervous. Lisette came over for a meet-and-greet and was very calm and comfortable with Pony. On the day of our departure she came over right on time and jumped in with Pony, feeding him and taking him on a walk. She sent pictures twice a day and reassured us that things were going well. She also took great care of our apartment and left it very neat and tidy. We hope we can have her stay again next time.
Marina was fantastic! She watched ellie for a whole wee while we were gone she sent multiple dailey updates with pictures to keep our minds at ease. Ellie is a sr dog who takes awhile to warm up to people but Marina and her were best friends by the end of the stay. I would recommend Marina to anyone knowing full well she will treat your pet as her own! Will definitely be rebooking!
Ashley took amazing good care of both my senior dog and my home. It was great being able to travel and not worry about Dottie getting all her meds at the right time or her slightly complicated meals created. Loved getting daily updates and returned to a happy dog and clean house.
Tessa is truly a hidden gem! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats and shower them with attention, but she also looked after our home and plants beautifully. She responded quickly to our messages, and when we returned, the house was spotless, as if she had never been there. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
