Vania was awesome!!! I needed someone last minute and she came through. She was great with my two pitbulls and treated them like queens. She was always on time and very communicative with pictures. I strongly recommend and will be using her in the future.

Presley and Freya loved having Melissa take care of them! I arrived home from my trip yesterday with two pretty relaxed kitties, and a slew of new photos to add to my collection 😁 She was a great communicator, and left everything just as she found it.

About: I had a dog for 15 years and a cat for 2 years, giving me experience with pets at all stages of life. They are very special and I have a deep passion for caretaking, one that extends to your pets! I can also administer medications if needed. I am a student at UCSF on summer break. I have availability most days—weekdays and weekends, just need a few days notice! I am also a night owl so I can watch your pets well into the evenings! I have a fenced backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I love going on long walks around here solo, and a pet companion would make that even better! For cats, I can also take them on walks (if they’re those types of cats haha) or can just stay inside and play with toys.

About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. Assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.

Pat watched our cat twice and during our first meet & greet we could tell he would be thoughtful when watching a pet. He spent plenty of time with our cat making sure he had a companion while we were away. He also made a great artistic sketch of him too!

About: Hi, I’m Eleanna and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up spending time in my Greek village, I was always rescuing and caring for stray pets. I rescued my own stray kittens, spent time on Greek farms surrounded by dogs and cats, and later fostered and rescued three cats and a dog in the US. I’ve built strong relationships with my clients and have had the pleasure of caring for many pets through Rover. I have experience with all types of doggies like seniors, special needs, anxious and high energy dogs. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, patient, and attentive. I always aim to make both pets and owners feel safe and can have peace of mind while they are away, and I make sure to send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and cared for. I specialize in house sitting and in-home care, so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment and regular routine. This is especially helpful for pets who are anxious, older and I make sure to keep a calm, peaceful environment. I’d love to meet you and your furry family and want to be a person that you can depend on to feel safe and trusting with your fur baby. Schedule: I am currently fully available and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate a lot of extra time, attention, and consistency to your pet throughout the day. I can usually accept request with short notice. I like to see the pet sitting almost as a “vacation” for your pet so they get extra fun and attention, and this also helps keep them happy if they have separation anxiety and miss their owners. I specialize in house sitting and in-home care, so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment and regular routine. This is especially helpful for pets who are anxious, older and I make sure to keep a calm, peaceful environment. I treat every home with respect and care, and follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine. I am very tidy and open to helping with any home tasks needed as well. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, calm, and loved, and for you to feel at ease and trust that your pet is in good hands.

About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!

About: Hi, I’m Lynn! 👋 Nice to meet you :) If your dog loves fresh air, exploring new paths, and coming home completely tuckered out, they’re going to love hanging out with me. I specialize in outdoor adventures tailored to all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a big, high-energy breed who wants to tackle a multi-mile trail hike, or a smaller pup who prefers a brisk, stimulating neighborhood power-walk, I customize every outing to match your dog's specific stamina, pace, and size. Safety is always my top priority. I’m incredibly mindful of terrain, weather, and hydration, ensuring a tiny Chihuahua gets the same careful attention and safe handling as an enthusiastic German Shepherd. From dealing with the zoomies to offering patient guidance, I treat every dog like family. When your pup is with me, you can expect a reliable schedule, plenty of updates, and a very happy, sleepy dog returned to your doorstep. Let’s get your best friend out on their next great adventure! 🐾 🌳 🌲 🥾 🐕 • Monday through Friday: I am completely free and flexible in the afternoons after 2:00 PM. This is the perfect time for an energetic mid-day break, a long late-afternoon trail walk, or late-day doggy daycare while you finish up your workday. • Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): I have open availability (unless stated otherwise)! My weekends are wide open for extended adventures, daycare, or flexible walking schedules. 🐾 How I Care for Your Dog I provide safe, reliable, and loving care tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether we’re out for a walk, enjoying daycare, or stopping by for a visit, my goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, active, and well cared for while you’re away. You’ll always receive updates and photos for peace of mind.

Kayla is truly the BEST and we feel so lucky we found her 🥹✨ From our very first meet & greet, we knew she was special — she literally showed up with a notebook and asked the most thoughtful questions about our dogs, routines, preferences, and care. That level of preparation and attention immediately put us at ease. She gives total Disney princess energy. So gentle, calm, kind, and clearly such an animal person. Both of our small, anxious rescue pups absolutely adore her (which says everything because they can be pretty selective with people!). She made them feel safe right away and has been incredibly patient and attentive with them. She’s also an amazing communicator — proactive, responsive, thoughtful updates, and just generally someone who makes you feel like your pets are in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found Kayla and genuinely can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies 🤍
