“Jacob was great with Bean! He fed him his food, refilled the water and cleaned the bowls, and made the time to play lots with him. He also took plenty of photos! This was our first time going away and having a cat sitter, so we were a bit nervous, but the detailed notes and pictures definitely eased our nerves! Thanks Jacob <3”
“Melina did such a great job drooping in and feeding my elderly cat, Momo. She was prompt with timing and sent lots of pictures and updates. I could tell that Momo really liked her 🥰 would definitely recommend Melina to anyone!!”
“Hannah is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pitbull is fearful and reactive toward people, but within a few minutes of their first meeting, Hannah had Maisie taking treats from her hand and playing fetch. Once she started playing fetch with Maisie, my dog completely ignored me and kept bringing the ball back to Hannah instead of me. Maisie has never done that with other people. I've had Hannah come to the house 3x and it's been great every time. Maisie loves her. Hannah is really easy to communicate with, is always on time and has great ideas about how to work with my dogs. I trust her and her instincts completely.”
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.
“Christine was wonderful with my cat. She was reliable, thoughtful and highly communicative. If you want high quality cat care, Christine is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her! Your pet will be in good hands. :-)”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and adopted my dog from a shelter in 2011 with a friend. Recently, I fostered (and adopted!) two black kittens who stole my heart. 🐶🐱 I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every pet like family—whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care. I can do overnights or drop-ins, and I have my own car, so getting to you is never a problem. Your pets will be safe, happy, and loved with me! ❤️ I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. With my own car, getting to you is no problem, and you can count on me to keep tails wagging and paws happy! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, providing a safe, reliable, and loving environment.
About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.
About: Hi, I'm Sofia. One of my goals in life is to give my dog (ESA) the best life. That means providing enrichment through sniff-walks, exploring new parks, and introducing him to furry pals. We go almost everywhere together, wherever he is allowed - camping, hiking, run clubs. I've used Rover in the past to find dog sitters for my dog, and they have all provided top-notch service. Now, I find myself in a new apartment that is dog friendly and want to host other small, well-mannered, dog and apt-friendly dogs. My dog has some leash reactivity, we are working on it (he was a rescue), but he is super chill once they have been properly introduced in a neutral place. He loves cuddling with his pals, he has predominantly stayed with sitters that have other dogs and it has gone really well. Rest assure, when your furry friend stays with us, we will take him in as one of our furry pals. We do not have a yard, just a small front porch, where my dog loves sunbathing. We have a private entrance. As such, we go on at least 3 walks a day for potty breaks. A good fit would be furry friend that: 1. Gets along with my dog 2. Is potty trained 3. Is up-to-date with vaccinations (e.g. rabies) 4. Is not destructive of property 5. Can stay alone (with my dog) for several hours 6. Is on flea and tick preventative I work from home on Fridays, and can take care of your dog starting at 4pm. Just be sure to pack their favorite stuff and food for drop off at my place. Pick up and drop off time can be flexible I prefer to take care of my furry clients at home. Where i can also have my dog be a friendly companion to your furry friend and we know the neighborhood and the best spots to go on walks.
“Cindy and Cesar we’re great! My cats were calm and did not destroy our apt while we were away so that is a plus! They sent pictures of their visits which was very helpful because I can get very anxious about them. Thanks again for caring for them!”
“I loved having Qishu drop by to visit my cat Beans. She would send lots of photos of my cat and that always made me feel confident about her care and that she was being played with. Qishu was super easy to be in contact with and always available if you had questions.”

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then it’s breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rocky’s. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge 😎. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with large and medium sized ranch dogs, and have taken care of small dogs growing up. I have experienced the full spectrum of canine care from puppies to end of life. Frequently I take care of dogs for family members as well and I love puppies! I have experience aiding in puppy training (not a certified professional but can help continue your home training), walking, feeding, bathing dogs and giving canine medication. I fully believe that dogs are meant to be outside and exercised as much as they are able for the best quality of life. From hikes, parks, walks around the block and cuddles, I’ll be there for your pup! I’m a graduate student therefore my availability for walks and drop ins, is strict to Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. But flexible during the hours of those days. Some evenings can be arranged on Thursdays and Fridays on a case by case basis. I can only offer daytime boarding in my home on Tuesdays as that is when I have online classes. Currently have some flexibility before classes start. I do really well with instructions if you have any specific needs for your pup! I am willing to clean up after puppy messes as well during puppy drop ins. For pups staying with me, I have a large fenced in backyard for your pet to lounge in. It is mostly made of brick and synthetic grass so your pup with stay clean with me! There is also a large dog park located a 10 minute walk away from me.
“Elyse took care of my two kittens for just under two weeks and did an amazing job. She was super reliable and communicative. The kittens seemed healthy, happy and relaxed when I got home, so it was obvious they were in good hands. Would definitely request for her help again in the future.”
“Kay has come over to our home while we have been out of town on multiple occasions. We are SO grateful for her. Not only does she take fantastic care of our dog Louis, she is excellent at following instructions and details. I can’s say enough wonderful things about Kay!!”

Sofia A.
“Sofia is an incredible dog parent. She is attentive, caring, and very knowledgeable. From her, I learned the importance of keeping an eye out for foxtail during walks as they pose a danger to pets. Her dog, Jack, has flourished under her care. He is now more easily trusting of people and is no longer as reactive on-leash. I'd highly recommend Sofia as a pet-sitter or walker any day.”

Hikaru & John M.
“Hikaru is a responsible and lovely person. She previously watched my 50-pound husky (Luna) for several days while I was out-of-town. I met with Hikaru a few times before she watched Luna. I could quickly tell from both her personality and her behavior towards myself and Luna that she is very responsible. I provided Hikaru with all of Luna's stuff (food, water bottle, leash, etc), a summary of her daily habits, and instructions on meals. Hikaru read them and instead of guessing, she asked questions within a few hours to make sure that she is properly taking care of Luna the way I wanted. She texted me pictures of Luna several times, one of which included an 8-mile hike (perfect for an active 1-year-old husky). When I returned home to pick up Luna, Hikaru was jogging with Luna. If I had to choose my top two most valued characteristics of Hikaru, it would definitely be her love for dogs and strong sense of responsibility. I would definitely ask Hikaru to dog sit for me again.”

Isabel P.
“Isa watched my dog and cat a couple months ago and she did an amazing job!! I was out of town for a week and I came home to happy, fed pets and a clean apartment. I could tell she was very respectful of my space and the rules for my home. Sometimes I come home to small messes or fussy/needy pets, but this was not the case with Isa. Would definitely recommend and ask for her help again”

Glenview pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Lexi enough as a cat sitter! From the very beginning, it was clear that Lexi genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. My cat, Astra, is not always the easiest to care for as he can be shy and a little picky about who he warms up to but Lexi immediately won him over. Lexi goes above and beyond to make sure Astra feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while I’m away. Every time I come home, I can tell Astra has been well looked after and is in a great mood. One of the things I appreciate most is how attentive Lexi is to Astra’s needs. Whether it’s making sure Astra eats well, gets enough playtime, or just feels calm and secure, Lexi handles it all with so much thoughtfulness. They always gives me updates, which gives me total peace of mind knowing that Astra is in such capable hands. Lexi is also incredibly flexible and reliable, which has been a lifesaver for me more than once. If I’ve needed to make last-minute changes or had unexpected travel plans, Lexi has always been willing to adjust and help out without hesitation. That level of understanding and dependability is so rare and so appreciated. On top of all that, Lexi is just such a friendly and positive person. It’s clear that this isn’t just a “job” for Lexi, it’s a genuine passion. I feel 100% confident leaving Astra with Lexi, which honestly says a lot, because I’m pretty protective of my cat! In short, Lexi is literally the best cat sitter ever. I trust them completely with Astra, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Lexi is the one.
Kiara was awesome! When we arrived home from our trip, I could tell our cats had been well taken care of. Kiara took lots of pictures when she visited to reassure us our kitties were okay. She was easy to communicate with and was even willing to water my plants. Thank you Kiara!
Christina was very responsive to my original request and was great during our meet and greet. Despite all the little notes I had, she handled it with flying colors. During the visits, she did a great job of making sure my cat felt the presence of humans, even if my cat wasn't feeling especially social. Thanks so much Christina and I'd love to work with her again.
Emily was a good communicator and overall amazing petsitter with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for almost 2 weeks. My kitties are pretty shy, and she was so great about letting them warm up to her and took such good care of them. One of my girls got a bit sick while I was away, and while I was on such a different timezone, Emily called a vet and followed their advice to keep an eye on her. Thankfully kitty was feeling better the next day, and I'm so grateful for Emily handling it so well!!
Juliana did a great job watching my kitties! I hate leaving them alone but she provided very detailed updates and photos that made my stress melt away. She asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet-I could tell my fur babies were in good hands. Will book with Juliana again!!
Qishu was a great sitter, who bonded so naturally and quickly with our cat Piper! She left sweet and thorough reports for each visit, plenty of cute vids, and great communication throughout. She went above and beyond to make sure Piper got the extra affection she needs while we're away. Thanks for taking such good care of our sweet P!
Emma was great. We had to take my mother to the Dr on short notice and needed care for her dog, who, because of a seizure disorder can’t be left alone. Emma was thoughtful, professional, and communicative. Francis had a fun, got his meds on time, and we received regular updates on how he was doing. Thank you!
Andy dropped in to care for our cats while we were away and we were really happy with how things went. Andy was friendly, a great communicator (good pics and summaries of visits, patient with coordination ahead of time), and conscientious about our cats' special dietary and medicine needs. The cats seemed get along with him very well, and we would gladly use his services again.
