“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”
About: I’ve worked with all different kinds of dogs big and small so I know what to expect with any dog, I love all dogs aswell I am a College athlete who is home for the summer so I am available during all times of the day and sometimes during night I walk, feed, pick up poop, and bathe my own dog and I also help out with my two siblings dogs when they come to visit
“Caroline is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, showing up right on time. She was very patient with our dog, who is shy and slow to warmup to new people, and did all she could to make her feel comfortable. She kept us informed the entire time and sent photos and cute videos. We highly recommend her!”
About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.
“Aik was amazing! He handled my dog’s unexpected quirks with ease!!! I can tell she was loved and very well cared for. Plus he took great care of my house too! Would recommend and rebook anytime. Thanks Aik!!!!”
“Anna did an amazing job house sitting for our pups for 6 days. She was so good with our senior lab and his needs. She helped our you get pup get her energy out on walks and reached out when there was a house issue so we were able to address it quickly. Our dog who can normally be anxious when we’re not home loved Anna. We’ll happily hire Anna again as our dog sitter.”
“Sandra was very responsive and was flexible with dealing with our shifting schedule. Miso, our chaweenie, was very happy with Sandra watching her. Will be asking her to watch Miso again soon. Thanks Sandra!”
“Amanda helped sit our 3 not-so-small dogs in our places for several nights while we headed out for spring break. She even stayed a bit longer in the last day to keep our dog companied when we were heading home late. Dogs look healthy and happy. House looks clean and neat. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good sitter.”
“We are super happy with Ashlyn as our house sitter, she did the best job you could imagine, she is one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She is very confident and capable taken care of our dog and chickens, and house too. She did better job than me if you ask me. Our dog looked cleaner, the house are tidy, everything is clean and organized, the towels and bedding were in dryer when we back home. She even saved the fresh eggs for us. We are highly recommend her service!”
“Devika what’s great with this stay with Dexter. It was something last minute and she was able to accommodate to her schedule. She kept me updated every day about Dexter, great communication. She would also send me pictures which was a huge relief for me when I was away seeing him that he was well taken care of and happy at home. I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to again in the future when I need someone to stay with Dexter again!”

He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”
About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.
“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”
“Akosua was great! She’s communicative, clean, and took great care of my boys. She went above and beyond our expectations for a cat sitter. I would absolutely recommend her services.”
“I was a bit anxious since Anthony didn't have any reviews for dog sitting. I'm happy to say that I can be the first to commend him on taking care of a very active dog. Anthony was able to navigate through Buddy's initial stomach problems, a developed rash, and a low-battery lock (my bad). He updated me when necessary (I didn't ask for daily photos/updates), and Buddy bonded with him (Shelties can be one-person loyal). I'm so happy that I connected with Anthony and would do so again in a heartbeat.”
Foster City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Margot spent two weeks with our dog Akiva at our home while we were away on vacation. Akiva is a 5 year old GSD who greatly values personal attention from his people, including his play time, training regimen and walking routine. Margot worked with us prior to our departure to learn Akiva's habits and ways to keep him happy and healthy in our absence. She's responsible and reliable, and it was clear from the regular updates and pictures that she sent us that she developed a genuine rapport with Akiva. She took great care of our home and plants as well. We already have our next house sitting with Margot on the books, and will be counting on her in the future. Thank you Margot!
Caroline was amazing with our rescue dachshund Tella. She was so empathetic to us and Tella who just lost the other half of her bonded pair, and took Tella on with such patience since we all didn’t quite know how she’d handle being dog-watched alone for the first time. Caroline also messaged regularly with so many picture updates to comfort us knowing we probably had more separation anxiety than Tella did! As a pet owner of a somewhat difficult rescue dachshund - and if you know dachshunds you know what I mean- i was worried about finding the right sitter and Caroline went above and beyond.
Almarah was wonderful! My wife’s flight was delayed so we asked to adjust the schedule and she did so very quickly and with no complaints. She arrived on time and Oden was immediately cuddled up to her. She sent us photos of their walks and responded to any questions. We know who we’ll call next time we’re out of town.
This is the first time I have hired Devika to take care of my dog for a couple of days. We had a very pleasant "Meet and Greet" beforehand and my dog took to her right away. She was prompt to arrive and followed my instructions thoroughly for feeding , daily walks, etc. My home looked immaculate as well when I returned. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Devika....
Belinda was such an incredible dog sitter for our pup! Not only did Belinda come through last minute for a 2 week house stay when our pup got ill right before our big trip, but she also took great care of our house. Belinda knew we were anxious leaving our pup for such a long period of time and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She was a great communicator and would answer immediately whenever she could. She also took our high-energy dog for long walks and followed all of our dog and house care instructions to a T. We couldn't recommend Belinda highly enough, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future!
This is the second review I've written for Larissa, and it is well deserved. She is reliable, professional, and a good communicator, which gives me peace of mind when I travel. I used to feel stressed leaving my dog behind, but now I genuinely feel at ease knowing she is in such good hands. My dog absolutely adores her, and it's clear that there is genuine care and affection between them. I'm so grateful to have found someone I trust so fully with my dog.
Alannah was a dream to have dog sit my two pitties. She was communicative, incredibly reliable, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and loved while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
We had a nice experience with Akosua. She has watched our 9-month-old dog twice, and both visits went well. Our dog prefers having company rather than being alone, and this was our first time having someone watch him in our home. Hector seemed to like Akosua and was comfortable with her. We would be happy to book with her again.
Julissa was great when I recently booked her for house sighing my dog. She was accommodating and flexible when I had travel delays. She also sent lots of updates and photos. She also was available and replied promptly to any messages. My dog had a lovely time with her and she left the house very neat and tidy as well. I would love to have her dog sit again!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We honestly think our lab, Ranger, had more of a vacation than we did. We received constant updates and photos, and it was clear he was getting tons of walks and playtime. Beyond the incredible pet care, we returned to a spotless house and felt at total ease knowing both our dog and our home were in such great hands. We highly recommend them—your pets will be so well cared for!
Nicol stayed at our house with our anxious senior dog who has special needs and requires oral medication and eye drops. Nicol was great at communicating with us while we were away. I received great photos, videos and detailed updates on our dog's food and walks which I really appreciated. Nicol was sure to understand Walden's needs and made an extra effort to meet those needs and went above and beyond. When we returned from our trip, Walden was happy and relaxed and our house was spotless and tidy. I could tell Nicol really cared for and got to know Walden even though we had only had a meet and greet before this booking. I highly recommend her and would book again.
Karina was great with our pup - I could tell he felt very comfortable right away with her. She followed instructions well and left our house clean, exactly how we had left it. She was responsive and did a few extra helpful tasks for us while we were gone, like taking our garbage out and putting delivered groceries away.
