About: I have trained my dog as a service animal from ages 14-16. He is able to do tasks such as harm prevention, getting an adult, and deep pressure therapy. He also knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, roll over, wait, stay, and "all done" I have experience rescuing and fostering a puppy, potty training him and teaching him basic commands. I have a cat and have cat sitted for many years for neighbors. I also took care of my teachers baby bunny in 2018, as she entrusted me out of every student to take care of the bunny, Saturn. As a student currently in community college at PCC, and a future RN, I am busy with school. Thanks to PCC and modern technology however, I am able to do most of my classes online through individual learning. I am only doing one class in person (ASL), twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30-12:30. Other then that, I have no weekly commitments I have to attend, leaving me open to do anything you require me to for your fur babies! Starting in September, I am starting my CNA program which will be full-time but we can discuss the Fall term in depth once I finish my Summer schooling. If I am allowed to bring your pets to my home, I have a lovely sprawling 1,000 SQFT backyard with lots of grass and area to run in. I also have my own dog (professionally trained and not a barker) who loves other animals (including cats!) so your baby can play with him if you request it. If not, I can put him in an entirely different area so they won't interact. My neighborhood, Robinwood, is absolutely beautiful to walk around, with a public playground, trails, and a river a block away I can take your dog to if you wish! In your home, I will do what you ask me to, whether its just hanging with your dog outside, feeding them, cleaning up a bit around the house, or just dropping in to say "hi" and get some playtime in. Just let me know!

About: Hi! I’m Alicia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I know that trusting someone with your pet isn’t just about finding a sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them like family. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply curling up for snuggles, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and personalities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and active play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply a calm, loving companion, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and provide the care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own and strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own animals.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“I had a wonderful experience with Summer checking in and visiting my young and shy kitty Casper! She was always on time or early, and her communication was and is excellent. She sent updates with pictures and videos, and I had total peace of mind knowing Casper was in good hands while I was away. She is so wonderful, she brought little gifts and treats for Casper! I trust and recommend Summer, and I would definitely book her again in the future! 🫶🏼”

About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!

“Adeline was amazing with our 7 month old Havanese! We can’t wait to use her services again. She has such a calm demeanor and is so kind. You can tell that she really loves caring for your fur babies. Do not pass up the services that Adeline provides, we are thrilled that we found her!”

“Shianne did a great job taking care of my fur baby Buddy. So many cute pictures that showed he was well cared for. When the need arises, I hope to book her again.”

About: As a college athlete, I’m active, responsible, and used to sticking to a routine. I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love giving pets attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m patient with nervous or shy pets and happy to match each animal’s energy level, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or a cozy day at home. I am comfortable handlings dogs of any size. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is already a regular part of my everyday life. I take care of my cat daily and help keep our 2 family dogs happy, active, and well exercised. I’m used to being attentive to their needs, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so adding pet care to my daily routine feels very natural to me. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable environment, follow their normal routines, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure doors, gates, and other entrances are secure. I also keep pet areas clean and communicate with owners if anything seems unusual. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re away.

“Took good care of my old man!!”

“Carolyn is very attentive to my pet and has done a great job with drop ins, especially since my pet was 2 days list op from being neutered and not feeling his best self. I appreciate how caring she is and attentive to his needs.”

Deborah P.

“I would rebook with Kat. She took good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. She followed our overly complicated feeding instructions and sent pictures of them eating and a few of them hanging out. One of the weekend days she definitely fed them all breakfast closer to lunchtime, but I still felt like they were in good hands, and in her defense I had expressed some flexibility in their feeding time. She also went out of her way to set our cat camera back up after the cats knocked it over so we could continue spying on one of their favorite hangout spots. Cats were happy and healthy when I got back.”

Laura N.

“Damita really helped us out because right after we left on vacation our power went out. Then our flight home was delayed and Damita quickly agreed to add another visit to our booking to care for our dog. She continuously updated us and asked how she could be of more help. We’re really impressed with her kindness and how she went to extra mile for us. Thanks Damita!”

Leea R.

“Sophia was able to accept a last minute booking for me when my friend got sick and couldn’t check on my kitty! She was responsive and followed my directions exactly. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I offer more than 20 years of hands-on animal care experience and a calm, professional approach to every visit. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and other animals through pet sitting, personal ownership, and professional animal work. My background also includes horse training, barrel racing coaching, and riding instruction, which taught me how to read animal behavior, stay attentive, and handle a wide range of temperaments with patience and confidence. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and for owners to feel confident while they are away. I am dependable, attentive to detail, and comfortable following specific care instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and household preferences. Whether a pet is energetic, shy, independent, or needs a gentler approach, I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care and clear communication every step of the way. Pet care fits well into my routine because I am able to plan my day around scheduled drop-in visits and arrive reliably within the agreed time frame. I value consistency, punctuality, and clear communication, and I understand how important routine is for pets. I keep my schedule manageable so I can give each client’s pet the attention, care, and updates they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home, their routines, and their instructions. I follow feeding directions carefully, make sure pets have fresh water, handle potty breaks or litter box care as requested, and pay close attention to behavior and comfort. My goal is to provide calm, dependable care so pets feel secure and owners feel confident while they are away. I also communicate clearly and send updates so clients know how their pets are doing.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a lifelong appreciation for their unique personalities and needs, and that love has only grown over the years. Today, my home is shared with one dog, three cats, and more fish than I can count! Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, providing playtime and enrichment, and making sure pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and family’s pets while they were away, giving me experience adapting to different personalities, routines, and household expectations. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while following your care instructions closely. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily schedule rather than squeezing it in around a traditional 9-to-5 job. This allows me to be available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, medication schedules, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a little extra attention, I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits their routine. Reliability and communication are important to me, so you can expect timely visits, updates, and photos to let you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m currently offering in-home visits and pet sitting at your home, and I’m also preparing my own home to safely welcome boarding clients in the future. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress environment where every pet receives the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to understand their individual needs rather than expecting them to adapt to me. Some pets want endless playtime and affection, while others prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. I’m comfortable reading animal body language and behavior cues, allowing me to match their energy and help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Keeping your pet’s routine consistent helps reduce stress and makes your time away easier on them. As I prepare my home to begin offering boarding services, my focus is on creating a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel comfortable and at ease. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I’ll always introduce pets thoughtfully, supervise interactions, and make sure each animal has a safe space to relax. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or eventually welcoming them into mine, you can trust that they’ll be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets.

“This was our first time using Rover.com and I felt comfortable leaving my cat in Mackenzie's care. She was on time every day. She spent time with my cat and sent us an update and picture every visit. I will definitely use her again.”

“We were In Laguna beach for two nights and wanted to go out for the evening. Christine came to our hotel and puppy sat our Joey. Joey loved her.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. My family has owned dogs since I was about 6 and cats since before I was born. Since I was 15, I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and my neighbors which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, personalities, and levels of need. I know that every dogs has its own special needs, and I will always make it my priority to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you are away. I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with the pets in my care. While I will need to leave for a few hours during the day, I make taking care of your pets my priority. On most work days I am able to stop by during my lunch break and check on pets, let them outside, take them for a short walk, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. Outside of work hours, I will be available to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship to ensure your pet feels happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and cared for while maintaining their routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, basic bathing and grooming and any special needs. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I can also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away. I am also willing to do basic home care and cleaning for the client while I am staying in their home.
