“Ari was absolutely amazing watching our two Goldens! He walked them every day, sent us text updates and pictures of the boys, and was very communicative. Ari also left our house spotless! I would highly recommend, and we will be requesting his services again! Thank you Ari!”
“Fiona was a great dog-sitter for my girl Cookie! She was communicative, showed up on time, and did great with Cookie. I felt confident that she understood my instructions for Cookie’s care and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Cookie. I also really appreciated the pictures she took of Cookie throughout their time together (it def helped to give me peace of mind). We are looking forward to seeing Fiona again 🎉🐶”
“Sophia was great and took a last minute booking so we could leave for a weekend. She was very punctual and followed instructions to care for Watson. She shared photos while we were gone, which is nice and reassuring for alleviating worries!”
About: For house-sitting, please message us to discuss availability. We may have more availability than listed on Rover! Ryane and Dave are a couple with decades of experience in pet care. Between us, we have provided care for dogs, cats, small animals, birds (including raptors), reptiles, fish, and exotics. Our experience includes providing medication and taking care of special needs animals. Both Ryane and Dave have advanced degrees in animal-related fields; Ryane has a Ph.D in Animal Behavior and Dave has a Master's degree in Avian Science. Both of us have devoted our lives and careers to learning about and caring for various animals. Our experience through both research and wildlife rehab has given us plenty of hands-on medical experience with animals. Our former cat, Charlie, needed up to 8 medications a day for the last year of her life, and we understand just how hard it can be to travel when you have a high-needs companion. We hope our years of professional and personal experience caring for animals will help alleviate your anxieties, knowing your critters are in capable and loving hands. Please feel free to reach out to us to discuss if we are a good fit for watching your animal(s). Our schedule changes regularly and Rover may not be up to date; we may be able to accommodate requests outside of our listed calendar. Please message us to discuss options. Ryane currently works full time Tuesday-Saturday, but Dave's work is remote, so one of us is usually around to give care to your animals when needed! Please note that we are often balancing our work with pet care, so understanding your pet's individual care needs throughout the day is important to determining if we are a good fit. Please provide as much information as you can! We pride ourselves on leaving our client's home as clean as we found it and will always treat your home with the utmost respect. We do our best to follow your pet's established schedules and routines, making your time away as easy on your pet as possible! We are also able to provide regular house care (e.g. plant watering, etc.), just let us know what is needed!
“Kat was a good send, last minute I was in need of someone to come and take care of my 7th month old puppy and stay at my place. She responded to my post in hours and was flexible as I figured out If it could work. She agreed to come and meet me first so we can connect since this was the first time I had ever hired a dog sitter. She took great care of my puppy and it was clear she is a natural. She took our pupp6 to her office well she worked, which was great because I meant she was never alone for too long. She took great care of the house and left it in great shape. I'm so glad that I found Kat for the next time. We need a do sitter.”
“We had a last minute cancellation on our house/pet sitting and Tiffany was a God send. We have never booked with Rover before and she popped up as a recommendation. She responded right away, came over right away to meet our fur babies. She communicated well throughout the entire process and provided timely information. In the videos our dogs and cat looked like they were having fun, wagging tails. It was a bit chaotic in the decision to use Rover and someone we didn't know and us trying to get out of town. But Tiffany's calm and just reassuring presence was something we truly appreciated.”
“Pat was great! She came by for a meet & greet ahead of her stay with our dog and was very communicative throughout. She was thoughtful and we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Gabriel was fantastic! After several attempts at a house sitter and watching our two dogs, one of them large, Gabriel took the stress off of us during our vacation. Great communication, lots of pictures, and the house was well cared for. Highly recommend Gabriel!!!”
“Asa was great with my boys and sent daily photos and info. I felt like I could relax on my trip knowing my cat and dog were being well taken care of! Would definitely request Asa again! 😁”
“Dorothy was great with our rambunctious puppy! She followed safety precautions due to COVID. We got the cutest pictures throughout the day of Cora. Dorothy was respectful and took great care of Cora and our house. I would definitely recommend Dorothy!”
About: I am an experienced dog walker, I know how to administer medications, cleaning litter boxes, and provide loving and stimulating attention to all animals ! I am free to take care of pets from morning until night Mondays through Thursdays! For overnight sitting I am available weekdays as well as Fridays and weekends. I am a very loving and attentive cat and dog mother. I couldn’t live without my babies and I will treat each pet I watch like my own!
“Aileen is wonderful! She took care of my super high maintenance 15 year old small soul dog who needs meds twice a day and only wants to be hand fed. She was attentive and sent me texts which put me at ease. It is a big thing to trust a sitter when you have a special needs baby, and Aileen is the perfect person for the job. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Erik was on time, and friendly..I really liked him he was great with my dog, and cool to chat with. I'd definitely book with him again and I'd definitely recommend him.. thanks so much for looking after our Hammy and our home..”
About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I understand that every animal is unique. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat who loves a gentle routine, or an energetic dog in need of extra exercise, I provide personalized attention to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart? ✅ **Reliable & Attentive:** I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being and emotional needs. ✅ **Experienced in Special Care:** I’m familiar with administering medications, handling senior pets, and understanding different temperaments. ✅ **Flexible & Communicative:** I keep pet parents updated with detailed check-ins, photos, and reassurance that their furry family member is in great hands. ✅ **Passionate About Enrichment:** Whether it’s stimulating playtime, structured walks, or maintaining a comforting routine, I focus on keeping pets happy and engaged. I take pride in building trust—not just with pets, but with their humans too. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter who goes above and beyond, I’d love to connect! I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine. I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.
“Ron took care of our two dogs overnight. He initially came over for a meet and greet, which was helpful. He’s a great communicator and sent us lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover, and have spent over 10 years caring for and living with all dogs big and small. I'm flexible, reliable, and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes all over the Bay Area. I love walking, exploring, and staying with pets. I currently work part-time for a San-Rafael based non-profit (6 hours/day), and have all other hours open for your pet. I'm happy to stay with and care for animals (both short and extended stays), and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week as well. I've stayed with many animals and cared for many homes for over a decade. I've stayed at homes for a night, and homes for a month. I also have experience with various walking, medication, and care routines and am happy to help with a variety of pet-care needs.
About: I treat each animal like family—offering patience, play, snuggles, and structure. I don’t just show up; I tune in to each pet’s personality and needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy cat. I go the extra mile to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Plus, I keep communication open and honest with pet parents, so they feel just as confident and cared for as their pets do. As a student, I balance my schedule around what matters most—caring for pets. Their routines keep me grounded and bring a peaceful break to my studies. Whether it’s walks between classes or evening cuddle time, pet care fits naturally into my daily life and brings me real joy. It’s more than a side job—it’s a passion I make time for. I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for every pet, whether in my home or theirs. At my place, I make sure all areas are pet-proofed—removing hazards like toxic plants, small objects, or unsecured cords. I keep food and medicines out of reach and provide clean water and cozy spaces for rest. When caring in clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely and respect their routines to keep pets calm and secure. I always supervise pets during play and make sure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes. Safety and comfort come first, so pets feel happy and protected wherever they are.
“Ava is awesome! She met Nala before the actually day just to get to know her (I’m so glad she took the time to get to know Nala) and watched her just like we would have at home (I’m sure even better). Thank you Ava for your great service! I know we’ll need your help sometime soon.”
“Stacy was great! There was excellent communication before she watched our two dogs, and we felt very confident with her experience. When she was watching the dogs, she communicated regularly and made us feel at ease. Stacy even swept up some leaves in the area where the dogs do their business - a nice touch. We will definitely be using her again.”

Ryane & David L.
“Ryane and Dave have sat for our dogs a couple of times and they're great. One of them is a tempramental chihuahua, but they handled him no problem at all. They bring a wealth of formal education in various types of animal studies as well, which gives them a level of understanding of animal behavior that far exceeds most petsitters you're going to find. Definitely recommend!”

Cooper gets so excited when Gabby comes over and it gives me such peace of mind leaving him with a responsible and loving pet sitter like Gabby.”

Vaughn T.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Vaughn Trowbridge as an exceptional pet sitter. He has been caring for my beloved pets with outstanding compassion, skill, and reliability. Most notably, Vaughn has been a tremendous help with my 16-year-old cat, who requires regular administration of IV fluids. This is a delicate task that demands both technical ability and a calm, gentle demeanor—qualities he possesses in abundance. Beyond that, my dog absolutely adores him, which speaks volumes about his natural affinity with animals. It’s clear he treats every pet as if they were their own. I trust Vaughn completely and always feel at ease knowing my pets are in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy and professional but also truly loves animals, I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“Todd cared for my 6 year old Golden Retriever and 5 1/2 month old Yellow Lab while we attended a family memorial and I couldn’t have been more grateful for his care, kindness and support. He was very communicative and sent me text updates and pictures of my boys while we were away - providing added comfort during an already stressful time. I can’t say enough good things about Todd and his services. We will definitely be using Tall to Small Pet Care in the future!”
Taylor W.
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Taylor as a pet/home sitter. Taylor has worked for our family for over five years, and we’ve known her and her family for nearly two decades. Over the years, she has proven to be trustworthy, responsible, and incredibly caring — both with our home and, most importantly, with our beloved dogs: Ruby, Sophie, and Buddy. From her very first visit, it was clear that Taylor had a natural connection with animals. She was warm, gentle, and affectionate, and all three dogs immediately took to her. Ruby, Sophie, and Buddy were always so excited to see her arrive, and I knew they felt safe and loved in her care. Leaving town can be stressful for pet owners, but knowing Taylor was with them brought us so much peace of mind. Taylor always treated our home with respect. She brought in the mail, kept things tidy, and never invited guests over, which we greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond by allowing Ruby, Sophie, and Buddy to sleep in the bed with her — just as they do with us — something that truly helped them feel comfortable and secure in our absence. She also kept us updated with regular texts and photos, which was such a thoughtful and reassuring touch. I wholeheartedly recommend Taylor to anyone in need of a dependable, kind, and dedicated pet sitter. Your pets — and your home — will be in excellent hands.”
