Joey was fantastic with our three month old puppy! We are new puppy parents and both nurses so we work long shifts. This was our first time leaving our new puppy home while we both worked a 12 hour shift. She came 3 times, for an hour each time and provided tons of updates. She reinforced training we’ve been working on and made us feel so comfortable leaving him! Will definitely be rebooking again with Joey!

Jessica was super attentive and responsible in watching my cat while I was gone! She really takes effort to make sure your pet is happy and you are comfortable as well. I could see in update pics that my cat LOVED her company, which is always so nice to see. Shes very communicative and professional as well.

Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.

About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.

About: I have grown up loving and caring for my own dogs, old and young. Now that I have started dog sitting I love to get to know new animals and each of their personal personalities! I am I college but currently on summer break. I am working part time so I have more availability on weekdays but some on weekends I have a fenced yard with lots of sunlight where dogs can lay out and use the bathroom. I also have a huge park nearby with a dog pond to let dogs have fun. I also have 2 very sweet small fur babies!

About: Your pup will be in good hands! If you're new to Rover, use my code to save $20! NANCYC19805 My partner Andy and I both have flexible hybrid work schedules l so your pet will have plenty of care and attention throughout the day! We live in a 3 story home with a backyard and long driveway for dog runs. We live 10 minutes from 2 great parks. We both grew up with pets, both cats and dogs. Our rescue pup Coco passed away in Fall 2022 and we miss her very much. We now have Lulu (a sweet 9yo french bulldog) who we rescued from the same organization. Through our foster and Rover experiences, we have cared for many animals with different needs. We have experience with pets with mobility needs, shy/nervous pets, and pets that need medication. Although we have stairs, we are happy to carry your pet up and down the stairs, and we have a ramp to help them up the couch. We currently work from home and can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they need. We typically do 2 longer walks and 2 short walks a day, but let us know what works best for your pup! On the weekends, we like to go to the park nearby or drive to parks in different neighborhoods and walk around. Let us know if there's anything special in taking care of your pet and we'll accommodate. I have a fenced yard to allow for quick breaks for your pet. We allow pets on our couch for cuddles, as long as they behave. Typically, we crate dogs at night, so please bring your dog’s crate for overnight stays. We have stairs leading up to our living room. We are happy to carry your pup up if under 30 lbs.

About: Hi! I’m Sully, a Mission local and your pet’s new Cool Auntie. I’ll be the one to makes sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and a little spoiled. 😌🐾 I’m not a pop in and leave sitter. I’m going to be the auntie who learns your pet’s vibe and make each visit feel more familiar and comforting. I’m also a proud cat mom to three big personalities (bratty tortie, black cat chaos, and a bipolar Siamese rescue), so I’m patient, confident, and pretty good at winning over even the toughest little divas. I’ve been pet sitting since my early 20s, starting with my family’s pets and friends’ pets (their friends as well), and over the years I’ve built real relationships with so many of them. I’m now the go-to sitter they call when they travel, which means I regularly get to see my extended fur nieces and nephews 🥰 and keep their routines consistent while their parents are away. During drop-ins, I’ll follow your routine closely. Fresh food & water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and photo updates so you can actually relax. I’m looking for long-term fur friendships even if it’s just a regular monthly visit or being your go-to auntie sitter when travel pops up. I am a full-time case manager for a local nonprofit, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM. So I’m your go-to for evening and weekend care! I’m available for drop-ins: • Weeknights: 6:30 PM–11:00 PM • Weekends: 7:00 AM–11:00 PM As your pet’s “cool auntie,” I’ll always respect your home and your routine. I follow a shoes-off rule (like I do at home), keep things tidy, and I’ll stick to your instructions for food, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and medications (limited). If you’re comfortable with it, I also love bringing a small “peace offering” for the first visit like a toy or an approved treat to help build trust and make our first meet feel positive. If your pet has allergies or a preferred snack, just let me know. My goal is for your pet to recognize my footsteps like, “oh! my auntie’s here.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with 8 years of experience caring for cats and hands-on experience with dogs as well. I can speak Cantonese/Mandarin/English.I’m a proud cat parent to three sweet and friendly cats, so I truly understand feline routines, personalities, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve hosted and fostered many cats in my home, caring for cats of different ages and temperaments. In addition to cat care, I also offer dog walking and cat sitting at your place . I have experience walking dogs of various sizes and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions. I also have special-needs pet care experience. I previously helped care for a paralyzed French Bulldog for over a year and a half, assisting with daily routines, mobility support, and attentive care. Additionally, I have hosted a dog in my home for two months, providing a stable, loving, and structured environment. I’m patient, attentive, and truly passionate about animals. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or a pet needing extra care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while you’re away. I’d love to care for your pet and give you peace of mind! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I don’t have another full-time job at the moment, which allows me to dedicate a large amount of time and attention to the animals in my care. I’m home most of the day, so I can closely monitor pets, stick to their routines, and provide plenty of companionship, playtime, walks, and individualized care. Making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a top priority for me. In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of positive attention. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners always feel informed and reassured. Safety, patience, and kindness are always my priorities. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, and pets that need extra care or special attention, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: As a devoted dog mom and a passionate pet lover, I understand just how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—especially when you're away. I raised a Shih Tzu for 11 wonderful years, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing comfort throughout a dog's life stages. I now am raising my Golden Retriever puppy, Nami, and this experience has given me first-hand skills in caring for dogs with high energy and taught me the patience and attention that young pups require. I work from home while building my startup, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. My schedule is quite adaptable, meaning I can accommodate walks, playtime, and feeding routines that best suit your pet's needs. I’m available most weekdays, ensuring that your furry friend gets consistent attention, care, and plenty of love whenever they stay with me. I provide pet care exclusively at my home, which is a cozy and safe space designed with your pet’s comfort in mind. My own friendly Golden Retriever, Nami, loves making new friends and will be a great companion for your dog. I have a secure playpen that can be used to ensure puppies or dogs have a safe space when needed, and I also offer a small, fenced backyard where the dogs can lounge and enjoy fresh air during the day. In addition to providing lots of love and attention, I enjoy preparing healthy fruity treats that dogs love. Your furry friend will be treated like family here—safe, entertained, and cared for in a warm and nurturing environment.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 with my first dog that I mainly take care of. Also being trusted with family friends pets. I’m currently just putting my focus in taking care of your pups or dogs. So I have more than enough time to give love and care to your babies at home. Personally for my dogs we have a backyard and it’s completely fenced. When they were little we had them crate trained so I can easily help put back dog back into their crates if needed.

Cameron has done drop in visits for my 2 cats twice now and it’s been very good. My cats both like her which is not always the case for them. She gives updates and always accommodates any requests I have. She has also brought in packages for me and cleans around the litter box and food bowls which is nice. I’d definitely recommend Cameron and book again

David has watched our cats couple of times now - most recently this past Friday, July 10th—and we cannot recommend him highly enough. He takes incredible care of our cats, ensuring they are happy, comfortable, and well-attended to every single visit. Beyond being a fantastic pet sitter, David is exceptionally observant and proactive with home care. During a previous visit, he noticed a few fruit flies starting to appear in the kitchen and, on his own initiative, set up an apple cider vinegar trap. Because of his quick thinking, the issue was caught early and completely managed by the time we got home. It is rare to find a sitter who is equally dedicated to the well-being of your pets and the maintenance of your home. We always return to very happy cats and a perfectly kept house. If you are looking for someone responsible, proactive, and genuinely caring, hire David!
