About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

“Payton was so good with my dog, Davis! She walked him for an hour, and took lots of photos. He came back happy and tired. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!”

“Sarah was fantastic! Our 95 lbs puppy Ela loved her and was very well behaved either. Ela came back from the walk tired and happy. Highly recommended Sarah.”

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾

About: Experienced with all types of dogs, including special needs. Skilled in walking, handling, overnight care, attention to detail, comfortable in medication administration and accurate dosing My schedule is wide open and flexible. I’m currently attending school to become a veterinary technician while looking for a part-time job, so I’m available to provide reliable, attentive pet care in the meantime. I’ll always be respectful of your space, house rules, and the routines you’ve created for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.

About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus while pursuing my PhD. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.

About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. With the school year starting I am unavailable Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, when I am available your pets will be getting the best care possible and my full attention I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs throughout my hole life. I have no preference and love them equally. I’ve had mostly larger dogs over the years and I currently have a mixed dog from the shelter named Buu, who is very friendly! I’m a firefighter in between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is very open. When I’m working I usually have 2 days on and 4 days off, my schedule is very flexible. This gives me plenty of time to take care of pets and give them ample attention. I would respect the house hold and do everything that is requested from the owner of the pets and treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!

About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

About: I’m a pet sitter who specializes in cats and reptiles (I have a crested gecko myself), but am open to any pets. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of varying sizes and ages, and, through my consistency and responsibility, am trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets. I’m a recent graduate taking time off, so I have an open schedule to take care of your pets. I have a car and can reliably travel to your house. My top priority is ensuring your pets are safe and maintaining the trust of my clients. When in my clients home, I treat it with respect and ensure that your pets have a safe and fun time while you are away! I always like to send lots of updates and pictures of your pets.

About: My name is Marissa and I'm am excited to return to Rover! My love for animals has been around since I was a child but blossomed during my time volunteering for an animal shelter. In addition to my volunteer work, I had an English Springer Spaniel for 11 years and a cat for 8 years, so I have quite a bit of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have administered oral medication, washed and walked dogs, helped train dogs, and brushed their teeth. I'm very patient with all cats and dogs and give them my full attention. I'm available most weekends and some weekdays, especially with advanced notice. Any specific requests? Let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate! I am currently working M-F from 8:00-5:00, but can accommodate weekday drop-in visits with additional notice. My main availability is on weekends and holidays. I take great care to ensure my clients’ homes are respected. I always offer to water any plants or do any small chores in addition to pet sitting.

“Grace saved the day! I was too sick to take my dogs out after work but Grace came over with just a couple hours notice to walk my two energetic dogs. She took them on nice long walk and brought them back to me nice and tired. I could tell my dogs felt comfortable with her right away and she was not at all overwhelmed by their high energy. Highly recommend!”

“Jasmine did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was out of town. She was super helpful and my dog loved her! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”
