Cheryl is incredible! We hired her super last minute and she was so accommodating and helpful. We had never used Rover before and she was able to answer all of our questions and put our minds at ease. She was so great with our dog and gave us detailed updates. We can't recommend her enough and will definitely hire her again!

Ari watched watched my two cats and my dog while I was away for a 5 day trip. She always fed them on time and took my dog out for his scheduled walks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that included playtime and walks. My pets all loved her as she is patient and caring towards them. Ari will be my first choice anytime I need a pet sitter again in the future!

Anna was very kind and patient with my senior dog, Nuni. She was on time and sent pictures and updates during their time together. I will definitely call Anna again when I need someone to care for Nuni in my absence.

Marolyn was my pet-sitter for about 4 years. I always trusted her to treat my animals (dogs, cats, chickens, etc.) with love and respect, as she was very knowledgeable and responsible when it came to caring for my animals. I have recommended her to all of my friends and family members. She is one of the only people I would allow/trust to leave my animals with because I know they will be in good hands with her!

It sounds like the cats really liked Polly and felt comfortable with her. Our super shy kitty even came out to say hi, which she *never* does! She took great care of them and gave me a nice update with cute photos. We’ll definitely reach out to Polly again!

Wow! I’m super impressed with Leah and her love of our dogs. Our puppies love her and the time she spent with them. I’ve used her from drop ins and overnights and will use her again in the future. She’s spends quality time with the dogs and gives them her full attention. She also walks them and takes them on adventures to the dog parks and beaches.

Cait was such a great cat sitter & I highly recommend her for any petting sitting needs you have! She was communicative, gave my kitty so much love, and went above & beyond (folded blankets & vacuumed). I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for my future pet sitting needs & you should too!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was very young and I have experience dogsitting for neighbors and friends. I have been trusted to make multiple drop in visits per day to feed, play with, and walk dogs. I have also provided in-home care for 2 weeks for a family with 4 special needs, senior dogs. During that time, I was trusted to administer all medications on time, communicate with their veterinarian, and clean up after the dogs. I am a Registered Nurse (for people) who just moved to California. I am working on obtaining my RN license for the state of CA, so Rover is the perfect opportunity for me in the meantime and as a side gig once I do obtain my license. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule for the next few months, so I am available any time of the day and any day of the week to take care of your fur babies. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have grown up living with dogs and have been caring for them since I was very young. My dogs have always been spoiled rotten! I will be very respectful of your home and property and will take wonderful care of your fur baby!

If I were to leave for vacation for a month Kate is the only person I would let watch my dog. They have such a good heart and they’re very reliable. I think only good people should walk dogs and Kate is great.

Megan helped us with both our cat and dog for 15 years when we had them. She was extraordinary in that she loved on them as much as we did. You could tell by their reaction when she entered the room that they felt cared for by her. She walked our dog daily and sometimes fed both animals if needed. She checked on both of them twice a day while we were both working full-time, long days. Megan administered medication for both the cat and dog in their older age. We are considering getting a dog again soon and we will definitely be calling Megan.

About: I have had a dog (miniature poodle) since I was 6 years old and he is now 14. I have another dog (toy poodle) who is now 9. I have volunteered at a senior dog rescue for 5 years now at which I help groom, set up foster homes and adoptions, take dogs on walks, provide them medication and help cleaning up after them. I am currently a student at SBCC. I have one class in person everyday from 12:45-2:05 but other than that I am very free and available to spend time with your dogs. I have a gated apartment complex which has a yard in the middle of it. I am flexible in terms of crates and other equipment since I have a pretty spacious living room. Both of my dogs are back in San Francisco where I am from so I have no other pets living in my apartment.

About: Hi there! I’ve always been an animal lover and was fortunate to have two dogs growing up. I started pet sitting for friends a few years ago and absolutely loved it! The length of care has varied from a walk to dog sitting for 1 month. My priority is always keeping pets safe, happy, and healthy. I strive to provide the same level of care, love, and attention that they would receive at home. They’ll get socialization, exercise, yummy treats (diet approved), and of course lots of love! I will also provide pictures and updates of our time spent together. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, but hopefully soon! 🤞🏼 For now, I’m happy being a bestie or auntie 😄. House sitting: I treat this service the same as an ordinary day. I will be with your dog overnight, walk them, play with them, feed them, and give medication as needed. However, during the day I may leave for up to 4 hrs to run personal errands, socialize, workout, etc. Let me know if your dogs have separation anxiety and cannot be left alone so I can plan ahead of time. Additionally, I prefer to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit before the stay.
