âIf there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.â


âAshley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!â

âIsaiah stayed for 2 nights with our 2 dogs and they enjoyed every minute, from walks locally, hanging out, dog grooming and chilling at the house. We returned to happy pups and a very tidy home. We will definitely contact Isaiah again for future overnight visits.â

âYena was just wonderful. We have a newer dog to our home combined with our cat who is indoor/outdoor so we needed a house sitter as opposed to just check ins for boarding. Yena was very professional, and asked all the right questions. When we were gone we received regular check ins with photos and updates of our little fur babies. We will definitely call on Yena every time we need someone to help us with our pets in the future. My wife and I highly recommend her service. Thank you Yena!â

âOur dog was tired and happy! Cara seemed to take good care of her, and was sweet and considerate when she had to deal with our dog having a surprise incontinence issue on our bed one night. We appreciated Cara a lot!â

âAngela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.â

âBowie loved Anny! He misses her already. She was great at communicating with us and sending us pictures to brighten our day while we were away. We really appreciated coming home to such a clean house after being gone too, she left it better than she found it! Thanks Anny!â

âSamantha is so amazing with our dog and kitties! Even with the surprise addition of a foster kitten and meds for another. Canât recommend Sam enough to take care of your fur babies! Ours love her!â

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was about 11! Besides my own adorable dog Daisy I have watched, walked, played with, fed, and fallen in love with countless dogs owned by friends, family, and other clients! I have experience working with large breeds such as Bernedoodles and Huskies as well s small ones like Chihuahuas and Mini Pinschers! I also have experience with senior dogs (my girl Daisy is almost 14!). I love spending time with animals and enjoy being able to give them the attention and care that they deserve! I am a full-time college student at UC Berkeley with a car, so I am readily available to come walk, play with, feed, or even provide overnight care for your pet! It provides a great outlet for me to get some quality time with animals while I'm at school and to give my mind a break from studying! At clients' homes I make sure that pets feel safe and secure while also maintaining a clean and organized household! It is my priority to meet pets needs and keep them happy, comfortable, and entertained in their home environment or outside for walks!
âAna was absolutely fantastic! Extremely thorough and transparent and communicative the entire stay. We had complete trust in them and were able to relax fully on our trip! They sent photos and updates frequently and we'd absolutely book again!!â

About: I have been a dedicated caretaker for dogs since I was 11 years old, and animals have always played an important role in my life. As a retired registered nurse, I bring compassion, attentiveness, and responsibility to my work with pets. I am trained in âFull Circle Careâ through my volunteer work at the Berkeley Animal Care Shelter, where I have gained experience understanding animal behavior, body language, and emotional needs. I am an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys long walks and providing attentive, loving care for both dogs and cats. I am a retired RN and love to get outside and enjoy nature. I love to read and study Spanish while relaxing with animals. My schedule is flexible and I can commit to the time we agree to. I am flexible to come to your home and stay if the pet requires full time care, or I have my husband and home that I can return to if full time care is not needed.
âWe are so appreciative of Iris! She is incredibly experienced with dogs and was attentive to Lenny's needs while we were out (and helped us out with some of his chaos đ ). She also sent us updates and was very communicative. It was great to have someone we could trust housesitting for us on our night out.â

âIrina house-sat for us this past week. She really bonded with our very skittish rescue dog and our shy kitty. We got pictures every day, and she did not hesitate to text if she had a question. The house was clean when we returned, everything looked good. We will be hiring her again.â

About: I have always been a huge fan of animals, ever since I was a child. My family has had many dogs throughout the years, as well as cats, reptiles, and even fish at a time. I am very social and respectful of both the owners and the pets, and am looking to help however I can. I just graduated university so I have a lot of free time on my hands and am happy to housesit or take care of pets whenever works best for the owners. A proper balance of love, play, and respect. I make sure my pets know they are loved and cared for, and play with them if they want and let them rest if needed. I am happy to take pets on walks or follow certain procedures or training in order to maintain routine for the pets if necessary as well.
About: Iâve always loved caring for pets and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I've been a life-long dog lover and I currently have a cat of my own that fits my current lifestyle. Iâm comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. Iâm patient, attentive, and flexible, making sure each pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and even gentle training reinforcement if needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently working a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available for house check-ins or walks at basically any time of day, every day of the week. In my home: I have a cat in my home to keep your pet company. I also have a fenced in backyard! I provide a safe, calm, and cozy environment for pets. Dogs get walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, while cats get feeding, litter box care, play, and snuggles. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and part of the household routine while their humans are away. In clientsâ homes: I follow each petâs routine carefully, providing feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any medications as needed. I treat each home with respect, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure pets feel safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
âJes was fantastic! My senior gal can get really fussy about taking pills and I am so grateful for his patience and absolutely above and beyond awesome communication while figuring that out. An absolute professional in animal care I would definitely recommend! Thank you!â

Rover review - Feb 14-15, 2026 Responsible, trustworthy, tidy, conscientious, funny, accommodating, and highly communicative, I would absolutely book Qishu again in future. Our kitties took to her right away (even our skittish one). We were only away for 1 night but Qishu sent frequent text updates throughout the day, which put us at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She takes great pics and videos, in which we could tell our girls were being very well taken care of and appreciated, and not missing us in the least. In less than 24 hours Qishu managed to play with our high-energy 8-month old to the point of getting her tired enough to pant (as requested), and to gain the trust of our skittish 1-year old, enough to be petted until she was purring and rolling around on the floor, showing belly. This was not requested nor expected; even our closest friends (who our cats have known since they were kittens) havenât been able to get that close to her! Qishu went the extra mile without our asking, and the results were incredible. When we got home, Cricket and Jiji were happy and relaxed, as if we had never left at all. The house was clean and in order. We have some more travel dates later this year and are crossing our fingers that we will be able to have Qishu look after our girls again. đ¤đź Thanks Qishu! You rock! đ¤đźđ¸đ¤đź

Erik is great!! He watched our pups for a few nights and he gave them love while also respecting our home and leaving it super clean! We received pictures and updates everyday and communicated clearly and quickly. I highly recommend him and will for sure have him watch our dogs in the future!!

Savannah was amazing. From booking until the time we got home she made us feel secure and confident in our decision to go with a house sitter for our boy. She sent photos throughout and we felt comfortable with the open communication throughout our stay away. Have another trip coming up and will be teaching back out to her! So grateful.

Sarah took amazing care of our dog and cats while we were away for the weekend. She sent regular updates (and pics!) and the animals were all so well cared for. She clearly loves and has a gift with animals. Thank you so much Sarah!!! We'll definitely reach out next time we are heading out of town!

Shayna is lovely! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for a weekend trip. She was very attentive to my dog as well as very careful with the house. I NEVER leave my dog with anyone so this was a big deal for me. I'm so happy with their time together and would totally trust her to hang out with my dog again (hope that's soon)!

Anny/Lucy was fantastic with Benji. She arrived early so we could go over Benji's schedule. She sent us updates, photos and videos and responded to our text messages in a timely manner. We came home to a happy, well taken care of pup! Thanks again Lucy! Looking forward to working with you again!

Jessica was so wonderful with our dog! This was our first time leaving our sweet puppo with a stranger and we were nervous. Jessica made us feel so reassured and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for and loved. She was super communicative, prompt, and was amazing at sending sweet updates and photos. She even came home early from a dinner when she found out our dog was barking. She did a great job communicating with our neighbors and family members at home since we were out of the country and I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism and timeliness. I would HIGHLY recommend her and look forward to her spending time with our dog again next time we go out of town!

Kate is now one of my go-to people to care for my special needs senior pup! He is always calm and happy when I return, in spite of his constant state of senior anxiety, so I know she is super sweet with him which is just what he expects and needs :) Thanks Kate!

Our pets had a great time! Camphuong took great care of our pets and made sure they all felt happy and safe, even taking doggo to the park for extra play time with other pups. She went above and beyond and communicated every day while we were on our extended vacation, even going so far as to restock doggos food when we miscalculated and ran out! Definitely would book again!
