“Janielly provided exceptional care for our senior dog, Niko, while we were away for a family wedding. Her professionalism and attention to detail truly set her apart. She took the time to meet Niko beforehand, ensuring he felt comfortable and familiar with her, which gave us peace of mind. Throughout her time with him, she kept us updated regularly, demonstrating her reliability and genuine care. We greatly appreciated her commitment to maintaining Niko’s routine in the comfort of our home, as his age required special consideration. For anyone seeking a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet caregiver, we highly recommend Janielly. She exceeded our expectations in every way!”


“Katherine did it again! She was a house and puppy sitter for an entire week and was amazing. This is my second time using her service with zero complaints. She will always be my first option.”


“Jordan was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! This was my first time using rover so I was extremely nervous about going away for a week and leaving my pup. However, Jordan truly went above and beyond!! She’s extremely thorough, organized, and was the PERFECT sitter for my pup! My dog was a bit skeptical at first, however, Jordan was very patient with my dog and in less than 24 hours my dog felt comfortable and safe with her! She sent me pictures/videos/updates daily and my dog looked SO HAPPY!! (Which made my worries quickly go away!) Jordan is truly amazing and I can’t say enough great things about her! My pup and I got extremely lucky to have her pet sit and I would 100 % use her again! Thank you so much Jordan!!!”


“I had a last minute trip to visit family and Haley was very accommodating while watching our puppy. She was nice enough to water all of our indoor and outdoor plants and send us plenty of update pictures. Definitely recommend.”


“Rebecca took our last minute booking to watch our Ralphie after another sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She came by for a meet & greet within hours and we were relieved to see how our pup and Rebecca got along from the start! As for the stay, Rebecca arrived at our house on time and was great about keeping us updated. When we came home, our house was clean and she even washed any dishes she used - it was so nice to see that Ralphie was happy and our house was how we left it! We definitely recommend Rebecca for your pet sittting needs in the East Bay.”


“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”


About: As a lifelong big guy and animal lover, I bring calm, confident, consistent care to pets of all sizes and ages with experience with men's, mobility, grooming, and affection routines. I care for my own fur children but my current work doesn't require my attention for more than couple hours a day so I am very open to scheduling arrangements around any time frame. My girls thrive in a calm and consistent environment so that's exactly what I try my best to provide. I prioritize safety at all times, keeping steady routines, closely monitor behavior, and always using pet-safe products. I am always mindful of entrances (mostly not to hit my head) leashes, and feeding times, and I'll never leave pets unattended. I like to build trust with animals through quiet presence, patience, and clear intentions communicated. My goal is to make your animal companion feel secure, comfortable, and cared for like family.

“Brooke watched our golden and our home for two weeks and was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates. After our first long vacation sitter was a disaster last year it was wonderful not worrying about a thing! We will definitely book her again!”


About: My name is Estefany, throughout my life I have been accompanied by animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, monkeys, birds (hens and chicks specifically), ducks, parakeets, macaws, and others. However, during my most important stages I have been accompanied by faithful canine friends. Each pet that comes into our home is treated like one of the family. I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs, careful feeding, experienced with dogs from nursing new borns to senior dogs with a variety of different needs, grooming as well as potty and obedience training. I also love baking home made dog cookies for my personal dog in my spare time. I currently work part-time from home so I have extra time to care for, pamper, walk, exercise and provide the appropriate and necessary care for your furry friend. I am available to offer accommodation every day, starting at _6am_:_8pm_ I speak Spanish and English. My English is basic and i practice everyday to improve. At home we have a BIG fenced in yard that is reinforced all the way around for security and lots of fun things to do and explore in the yard. Inside we have a four bedroom house and each area is unique to accommodate every kind of dog. We dont like to use crates unless requested and we also keep all dogs separate unless requested otherwise (we have a sweet one year old poodle who has never met a dog who isn't her best friend as is willing interact with any family wanting their dogs to make new friends). We have beds for our dog friends to take a nap, although if your dog prefers his bed, no problem. Cleanliness and hygiene is very important here to keep everyone safe (I have enough bowls at home, as well as toys for dog guests), although if your dog has a preference, there is no problem. We are always willing to send updates on how its going and all the fun they are having!

“Mary and Connie were absolutely amazing. The care and companionship they provided to our fur babies exceeded all of our expectations. Our home was treated as if it was theirs and was found better than we left it. You can’t go wrong with this amazing duo. They are now part of our family, wether they like it or not :)”


“Nikolai was awesome - communicative, prompt and send the cutest update pictures of our girl. We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing she was well taken care of. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!”


“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”


“Can I just say WOW...this girl is amazing. She took care of our beautiful girl (dog) for our 5 day trip. She walked her 3 times a day, snuggled, played, and gave her lots of attention. I was a bit concerned after the last girl who pupper sat - and Alexus took all those concerns away. She left our house clean like she wasn't even there! I would love to say no don't use her so I can have her anytime I want, but I have to share her greatness with dogs. Thank you Alexus for being such a great help and taking care of Sadie.”


About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care You Can Count On With over 5 years of experience walking and caring for dogs—and a decade of fostering cats—I’m passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care—I’ve got glowing references ready to share. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and full of energy, I’d love to connect. I treat every pet like my own! I work my own hours with refurbishing furniture and pet sitting so my availability is open! I have plenty of references available for you as well. I am very respectful of your home and your privacy. I will only ever be in areas designated for me! I promise to respect your dog and their needs/temperaments. I also have a viszla/lab mix and dachshund for a playmate if wanted!

“When Melanie came to the meet and greet, the dogs were all over her. They loved her. She also charmed me and my girlfriend during over meeting. She sent us photos and a video while we were gone and we could see they were very happy. A lovely young lady that I will use over and over!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 15+ years of experience in pet care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I helped my sister care for them and even taught my own puppy fun tricks like shaking paws and sneezing on command! While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I cherish the opportunity to give your furry friend the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make tails wag and keep everyone happy! When im not at work I love to set time aside to take care of your furry friends. My work schedule changes so we can discuss times that work best. R.E.S.P.E.C.T! Especially when it’s the first time meeting. I love meeting pets and respecting their boundaries is super important. Everyone is different so I always like to watch for signs to keep tails wagging.
