About: I grew up with countless dogs and had the joy of raising dogs from puppyhood to adulthood alongside my father. Breeds that range from Jack Russells to Dalmations. I have also worked in the veterinary industry, I helped run a dog boarding facility within a animal hospital. Experience with assisting in minor operations. I am now pursuing dog training as a potential career. I work closely with trainers from established facilities within the Bay Area. I can provide a safe experience for any dogs, regardless of breed & temperament. I am avid outdoorsman, so I can take your dogs on hikes if you're ever interested! Please don't hesitate to reach out! I hope to get know as many people as I can. I'm currently working full time but I'm free most days of the week after 5 pm. So if you need to do any chores or shopping, I'd fit in perfectly to your schedule after your busy day! My weekends are available throughout the day, so if you're looking for someone to give your dog a great weekend, look no further! I have the utmost respect for animals and genuinely care for their well being. Their safety comes first at the end of the day. I will take my time introducing myself with no pressure involved. I am experienced at dealing with many real world scenarios that require a deft hand. All I want for the client's pet is for them to have fun and do it in a safe manner!
“Bre’anna is super kind and attentive. She always leaves my apartment cleaner than when she found it too. My cat is shy and doesn’t always like strangers but she’s warming up to Bre’anna and seems comfortable with her when I’m gone. I feel comfortable knowing Penny is in great hands and rebook Bre’anna every time I’m gone!”
“Li was very reliable, responsible, and followed all of my instructions carefully. Everything I asked her to take care of was done really well, and I could tell that she genuinely loves animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my pet in her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Five stars!”
“Hanna did a wonderful job!! We have an elderly dog and a very scared dog and she handled both great. They were well taken care of and happy when we got home. Will use again!”
About: I have raised my dog since he was a puppy and it was definitely a challenging and rewarding experience. I recently moved out of my family home where my dog lives with my parents. I miss having a furry companion to hang out with! I am typically free early mornings and evenings after work. I go on walks every day and thought it would be fun to have a furry friend by my side and to also help out those who need pet care. I am detail oriented, organized, punctual and patient. I am very familiar with the neighborhood. I am an active person and will do my best to keep up with your pet.
“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”
“Katerinne is great! She has been helped us multiple times so far. When she was not available, her husband visited our pets, which works well as well. They love our pets and took care of them very well. I would definitely ask her help again:)”
“Eos seemed to love her company! Got a ton of photos and updates for just coming by for a potty break. Does late evenings which works perfect for my shift work schedule.”
About: Having owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life—including years of pet-sitting—I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet my full attention whenever you need support. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home pet sitting, your pet will enjoy attentive, personalized care with the perfect mix of play, walks, and dedicated attention. I primarily work remotely from home with a highly flexible routine, allowing me to focus on your pet throughout the entire day. Because I am on-site continuously, I can provide frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, play breaks, and quick neighborhood walks. I easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding and exercise schedule without leaving them unattended. Safety and peace of mind are my highest priorities. When pets are in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and fully pet-proofed space equipped with comfortable resting areas and secure environments. For care hosted in your home, I strictly follow your established routines, care instructions, and safety boundaries. Regardless of location, I ensure all doors and windows remain secure and double-check all leashes and gear before heading outside.
About: Growing up, I've always had an affinity for animals. I've spent much of my life caring for my family's dog, and spending time caring for my neighbors' and friends' pets when they were away. I’ve got a senior cat of my own, and have also have spent time throughout the past several years caring for my friend's cat when she would travel frequently for work. I have experience administering medicine to cats, and am comfortable doing so for dogs as well. I am excited to be a part of Rover to spend time with more four-legged friends! I’m new to San Jose, and am especially excited to explore and be active outside with your furry family member. I also am available to provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I follow directions very carefully and will ensure to always keep your house clean. Happy to discuss any other precautions to take so that you and your pet are as safe as can be. Feel free to reach out, and I look forward to meeting you! I work remotely and part-time giving me flexibility throughout the work week to take care of your pets. I’m also occasionally available on weekends. Please let me know of your care needs! While caring for pets in your home, I practice safe entrances and exits to ensure your pets don’t leave the house. I make sure to follow all directions and protocols given as to not introduce any stress or confusion to your furry friends.
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
About: Hi there! My name is Driana, and I’m a passionate dog lover living in San Francisco right near Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach. Growing up, I had a sweet Shih Tzu, and later in life, I raised a Doberman from a tiny puppy all the way into adulthood. While I don’t currently own a dog of my own, caring for pups has always been a huge part of my life, and I’d love to share that love and attention with yours! My availability 🗓️️: - Mon – Sat: Open availability morning through evening! - Sundays: Available upon request with advance notice. - Flexibility: Work as a barista, but schedules come out a week in advance—so if you give me a heads up, I can easily build my shifts around your pet’s exact routine! Home Environment & Compatibility: - Prime Location: I'm located in the Outer Richmond, two blocks from both Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach, giving us immediate access to great, safe walking trails and away from busy streets! - Quiet & Peaceful: I live with dog loving roommates, but to respect their space and our downstairs neighbors, my home is best suited for calm pups who aren't frequent barkers. Safety & Care: - Outdoors: Dogs are always kept securely on leash during park and beach walks. I also have a huge backyard for zoomies/potty breaks throughout the day. - Indoors: I ensure a tidy, dog-proofed space where your pup can relax safely, complete with frequent photo updates to keep you connected throughout their stay :)
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. My parents are big dog people so I’ve always had multiple family pets ever since I could remember. Throughout my life, I’ve lived with different dogs and cats that belong to either myself or my housemates’. Professionally, I’ve provided overnight dog care at my home as well as at my clients’ homes. Our household is one where there is always someone home. I work during the day while my partner works part time in the evening. We also have a family member who is an animal person. She is a college student taking only online classes and will be around in case of any emergency. Whenever your dog is with us, there will always be someone right next to them at all times. We have a fenced yard and a dedicated outdoor dog play area to make sure your puppies are able to explore and play safely. We are walking distance to the rose garden for walk time.
“We booked drop in visits while we were traveling for our two 45-50lb dogs. Fanqi did awesome taking plenty of photos, sharing updates, and tracking their bowel movements. She was also respectful of the house when entering and leaving. She's great.”
“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”
“This was our first visit from Michelle and we can already tell it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Twyla seemed to warm up to her quickly, even asking for belly rubs, which she does not do for anyone other than her closest humans. Michelle was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of photos.”
“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”
“We felt at ease with Megan taking care of our pups while we were out of town. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and was quick to pivot when we changed feeding instructions between our meet and greet and the time she came to care for them. Looking forward to booking with Megan again!”
“Katie is amazing! She helped me out last minute by doing some drop in visits with my two dogs Bear and Riley. Her communication is the best; I got reports and pics of my dogs. She clearly has a gift for not only photography but also connecting with animals. If my dogs could talk I know they would ask for Katie to come back!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitdale
Katie did a great job with my three cats. I loved all the photos of them, the updates on how much they were eating, and she was able to give my cat his medication with no problem. Katie got to pet my shy cat who almost never comes out which I have to say made me so so happy! Katie was dependable, thorough, left my home clean, and I will definitely hire her again!
Our cat loves Teresa at the first sight! 😄 Teresa took great care of him and gave him lots of attention and pampering. Teresa also sent generous photos with food and litter box updates to let us know our cat has been doing well, and she took great photos - our cat looked like a star! 🥰
He took great care of my fur babies and gave them lots of pats and love. He also updated me on my roommates dog! I loved the updates and getting pictures of my cats while I was out of the country! He even helped with filling the dog's water bowl!! Thank you so much for taking care of them!
Hannah is such an amazing cat sitter--i cant recommend her enough! Her care and attention to detail is top notch. I know that my kitties are in good with her which means so much to me! Thank you for your constant dedication to excellent care--it's much appreciated.
This was our first visit from Michelle and we can already tell it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Twyla seemed to warm up to her quickly, even asking for belly rubs, which she does not do for anyone other than her closest humans. Michelle was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of photos.
We’ve been with Audrey for several months now and absolutely love her! She’s reliable, super communicative, and we completely trust her with our pup. Our dog gets so excited to see her, which says it all! We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend Audrey!
Zola was amazing with Darcy and Ivy! She was so attentive and sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. The cats were happy, well fed, and the litter was always clean. She was also very respectful of our home. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
