“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”


“This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!”


“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”

She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”

About: Growing up surrounded by pets of all sizes and species—from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle giants like Mastiffs, along with iguanas, tarantulas, and birds—I've developed a deep understanding of each animal's unique needs. My lifelong love for animals stems from knowing they're truly family members who give us their whole hearts. I'm experienced in administering medications (pills, liquids, and injections) and have experience and am comfortable providing specialized care for pets in recovery. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaled family member needs basic companionship, medical attention, or just a walk to get some exercise, I'm here to give them the same love and attention they'd receive from you. Let me give you complete peace of mind while you're away—your pets will be in caring, capable hands! Whether you need someone to stop by or look after your house, I am available 7 days a week. Please provide at least 1 day notice to confirm availability. Since I rent my home I am only able to come to you! I currently reside in Oakland, so I am open and available to any needs within the area.

About: I've been puppy sitting for my neighbor who told me all about rover. And said I'd be great at it so here testing my luck . I have a 7m old Malitpoo, who's full of energy and would love meeting some new paw pals while we're at it! For the summer I'm am Available 7 days a week! 24/7. I start work back in August and will be happy adjusting with any clients that are continuous I have a pup right now so o try to get her out of the house first thing in the morning. I like getting all of their wake up zoomies out before it's too hot outside. It really helps to do this as they are more attentive during training after they have played

“I always have a piece of mind when I travel knowing Vanessa will check in on my cat Snorri. The visit notes and photos are especially thoughtful. Overall very happy with her care!”


About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I bring a calm, confident energy that pets (and their humans!) trust. I’m currently caring for my own sweet 15-year-old senior pup, so I’m especially tuned in to the needs of older pets—whether it’s medication, slow strolls, or just a little extra TLC. I’ve seen it all, from wiggly puppies to wise old souls, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My goal? To make tails wag and hearts feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available during the day for walks, check-ins, or cuddle breaks. Whether it’s a midday stroll or a bit of playtime to break up the day, I love incorporating pet care into my everyday rhythm. It keeps me moving, smiling, and surrounded by furry joy—what could be better? In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I have a sweet senior dog who’s very friendly and laid-back, so visiting pets get a calm, welcoming vibe. I’ve got a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet feel most comfortable—whether that means crate time, couch time, or anything in between. In clients' homes, I aim to keep their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

“Nayeli was a life saver! We had to find a Rover during our Spring Break cancellation and Nayeli rose to the occasion. She was very communicative, thorough and loving with our fur babies. When a hiccup with our travels came up, Nayeli was more than willing to stop by again after the job was completed. I really appreciated her notes and photos. I would love to hire Nayeli again!”


“We had Nia drop by twice a day to help take out our 17 yr old dachshund for potty breaks. She was always on time, very professional, and extremely communicative. She also sent lots of photos to let us know how things were going. We will be looking to have Nia do drop-in visits in the future and overnight stays.”


“Briana has been such a huge help with our pups! She is attentive, caring, provides constant updates and is quick to respond. We’re looking fwd to continuing to work with Briana!”

“We appreciate Daria taking care of our kitty while we were away. She played with, fed, and looked after our cat, sending cute pictures and even short videos (which was really nice) every day. Our kitty has definitely enjoyed her time with Daria.”


“Karla was fantastic. Her visits were timely, she sent great pics and summaries, and she was an observant, thoughtful sitter. One of our kitties is very shy, and she did well with Karla’s approach. Will definitely book with her again!”

She’s incredibly attentive, gentle, and treats every dog like they’re part of her own family. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, kind-hearted, and genuinely passionate about pets, she’s the one. Your dog will be in loving hands with her❤️”


Meghan M.

“My dog fell in love with Meghan at first sight, even though she's usually slow to warm up to new people. Pepper, my miniature dachshund, is always excited to see Meghan, whether for a walk or an overnight. When I pick her up Pepper is happy and tired. We call Meghan's house a doggie resort as a joke, because it's filled with toys and treats. Pepper's happy and I am, because I know my dog is cared for and loved (not to mention spoiled) when I can't be there. We both trust Meghan and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog person to love and care for their pup when they need help.”
