“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She’s responsible, professional, and incredibly loving. This was my first time using Rover, and knowing John was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind as an anxious dog parent. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”

“Cj stayed at our apartment to watch our German Shepherd/Husky mix. He took great care of our doggo and provided frequent updates during the stay. We can definitely recommend Cj and already booked the next dog sit with him.”

“Fast communication and very reliable!”

“Sara was SO amazing! She was very attentive to Finny’s care instructions and sent plenty of videos and pictures to put my mind at ease while I was away from my kitty. Finny warmed up to her way faster than he usually does to new people, and she even brought him a new toy! I highly recommend her for house and pet sitting and will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

“Electra was such a wonderful housesitter for our super senior, Moose! This was my first time using Rover so I was pretty nervous since we were gone for a few days and Moose has some special needs, but Electra was so understanding and patient. Communication was A+ and the house is even cleaner than we left it. Don’t hesitate to book her!”

Katherine H.

“This is our second time booking with Genevieve, specifically for a house, shit, and it went off without a hitch! Genevieve, of course, followed all our specifications for our son DOOM and we got constant pictures and communication from her all throughout the day. She is also good with asking, clarifying questions, and that means a lot to us as well.We are very happy with her as a dog sitter, and we recommend her for anyone’s dog sitting needs!”

Leland A.

“Arianna was really receptive to Willow's needs and very communicative. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond to give Willow company and to make her comfortable. She was also a terrific and considerate house guest. We recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners!”

“Anne was a fantastic dog sitter for our girl JoJo. She was responsible, helpful, and comforting for our dog while we were away. We came home to a happy dog with all needs met plus. We hope to book with Anne again.”

About: Hi! I’m Ally, an animal lover with professional animal care experience ranging from pet boarding facilities to the Oakland Zoo. My approach is calm, attentive, patient, and individualized to each animal. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I became vegetarian as a child because of my love for animals, and that value continues to guide both my personal and professional life today. Professionally, I previously worked at a pet boarding facility where I handled client communication, maintained veterinary and care records, administered medications, monitored feeding and intake, and provided daily hands-on animal care. I also worked as a Zookeeper Aide at the Oakland Zoo, where I helped prepare specialized diets and support daily animal care operations in a fast-paced environment. I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University, so I’m especially detail-oriented, responsible, communicative, and reliable. What You Can Expect From Me: -Reliability, reliability, reliability! ☺️ -Regular communication, updates, and photos -Calm, patient handling style -Attention to detailed feeding and care instructions -Lots of affection, play, and individualized attention Previous Experience: -Zookeeper Aide at Oakland Zoo -Behavioral Health worker at a California primate center -Animal care work at research centers -Wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary volunteer experience -Pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet breeds and personalities -Pet First Aid and CPR certified I'm currently working remotely on my capstone project to finish my Master's degree, which means my schedule is quite flexible to care for your fur babies! I do have my own cat so I need to take his own care into account when considering bookings. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and household rules while paying close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I understand that every animal has a different comfort level and personality, so I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their space and routine.

“We've used a handful of house sitters from Rover and Klara is by far our favorite. She keeps the house neat, sends plenty of photos, takes the dogs for walks. We always use Klara when she's available! Having a trusted person at home while we're traveling means one less thing to worry about. Thanks Klara for all your help over the last year!”

About: I've taken care of both large and small dogs one on one and in play group settings. As well as I currently own a cat. Curre the I work so I am available in the morning for walks and evenings. I can do care at your home when needed. Thanks. Caring for pets in your home I make sure all entry ways are closed so your dog and or cat does not escape. When I come and arrive I will communicate.

“John did a fantastic job taking care of Fenway and Rosie! He communicated with me daily, sharing pictures and video clips. They were happy and well loved. More over, John left the house in exceptional condition.”

About: We’re an engaged couple living in East Palo Alto and looking for more opportunities to spend quality time with animals! We’ve been trusted dog and cat sitters for friends and family for years, and recently decided to give Rover a try. We’d love to provide your pet with extra love, attention, and care while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, and we’re sure we will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be.

About: I am a relative new comer but I make up for this with lots of time and great soul. I wish to become part of the pet-ite bourgeoisie I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm mostly available for all days of the week now that summer is in! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals over to my home without permission but I can stay and take care of animals at your place for a long while

“I am so grateful for Ghazaal as she has developed a close bond with my dog Lily. I can always rely on her and know my dog and my home will be well cared for when I am away. ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and truly treat every pet as an individual. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my focus on one pet family at a time, so your pet gets my full attention in a low-stress environment 🐾❤️ I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and emotional comfort, especially for pets who are shy, sensitive, or adjusting to a new place. I enjoy long sniffing walks, gentle play, enrichment activities (like lick mats), and plenty of cuddle time — always tailored to your pet’s personality. I’m comfortable caring for adult dogs and seniors, following detailed instructions, administering basic medications as directed, and providing consistent updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication are extremely important to me. On most days I’m home and present, and on occasion I may go into the office for a few hours (typically up to 4–6 hours, a couple of times per week). Because of this, I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone for short periods. I always plan ahead to ensure your pet is safe, settled, and well cared for before I step out. My goal is to make every stay feel calm, secure, and loving — like a true home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I plan my schedule around. I structure my day to ensure pets receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day 🐾❤️ I’m able to provide a calm, predictable routine with flexible timing, which works especially well for pets who need consistency or extra reassurance. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and rest schedule is followed closely, and I adjust my day as needed to match their normal routine. Whether it’s daily care, short stays, or longer boarding, I prioritize being present, attentive, and responsive so your pet always feels safe and cared for. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment with a private patio and Rengstorff Park just steps away for safe daily walks and playtime. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your furry friend will have a quiet and relaxing stay with our full attention. I keep doors and patio areas secure at all times, and pets are always on a leash outdoors. I follow each pet’s specific routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime, and can crate your dog if preferred for comfort or safety. Our goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for as if they were our own. 🐾

“very kind, thorough, and cooperative with my overly detailed nature :) highly recommend!”

“Barbara stayed in our home to watch our two pups while we took a weekend trip. Prior to leaving, she came over and spent a significant amount of time to get to know and learn about our dogs. I was not at all concerned about leaving them in her care. When we got home not only were our pups well taken care of, our home was exactly how we had left it. I highly recommend Barbara.”

About: Lifetime dog owner and animal lover, I’ve always loved getting to connect with new personalities. I’ve had experience caring for a pups at every stage of their lives. Most of my experience has come with senior dogs, and along with making sure they have frequent potty breaks during the night I’ve also had to administer medical care, with insulin shots or oral medication. My approach with dog care lies in patience, through this I’ve also been able to train many friends. I go at the pace of your dog, and am ready for energetic brisk walks, playtime, running, or I can also go slow and smell the roses or bushes. I try to be as flexible as possible to best address your pets’ needs. I am available Fridays and weekends. I am also free during the weekdays at certain windows of times, but if you don’t find something that works for you, please reach out and I can try to fit you in best as possible. I am balancing classes during the weekdays, so my available times vary a bit differently. I believe pets do best in their own environment, and I will do my best to follow your pets routine as closely as possible in order to minimize any stress. I always respect your home and am a reliable caretaker for your pet. Whatever special care is needed for your pet or space, I’m always prepared.
