About: Until two years ago I started taking care of furry children, although all my life I have had dogs in my house since I was a child I have learned to take care of them, bathe them and identify their body language I currently work independently through the Lyft app, which allows me to manage my own time. Thanks to this flexibility, I can devote the necessary attention to the care, play and well-being of your dogs during the week. I am available from Monday to Saturday, and on Sundays by appointment, which allows me to organize myself to offer responsible, attentive and constant care. I want to comment that, at the moment, I cannot offer care during the day at home. However, I am available at night, especially for small dogs and cats. In addition, I offer walking service, and I always guarantee a healthy, safe and warm environment, where the puppies will receive attention, care and respect. I am available to coordinate schedules and adapt to the needs of each pet.
“Francis did great! We have a reactive dog that doesn't do well with new people. He did great with Francis. We got lots of updates while we were away, came home to a clean house and detailed notes. We would definitely book again in the furture.”
About: With a lifetime of experience growing up with dogs and a deep love for cats, I’m passionate about providing pets with the care they deserve. Whether it’s taking dogs on long, enjoyable walks or offering affectionate companionship, I’m dedicated to giving each pet the love, attention, and comfort they need to feel safe and happy. Your furry friends will always be in caring, experienced hands! I have a full time job, but can offer to walk or take care of your pets with my flexible work from home schedule. I also have ample time after work (5pm) or on weekends. I am happy to board all types of pets at my home during the day and/or at clients homes. I live a block away from the local dog park. Taking care of your pet is my number one priority.
“We are so grateful to have found Mai! She takes such great care of our dogs and home every time we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Mai follows all our instructions carefully, asks for clarification when needed, and keeps us updated throughout her stay. Plus, she always leaves the house spotless! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”
“Wendy was great! Kept our two rambunctious doggies safe and comfy during our few nights away and sent us lots of photos and updates. We'd highly recommend her for your dog or pet care needs!”
“MJ, with only a one day notice provided excellent house sitting services for my 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Sherman is also a large and strong GSP and MJ handled him with such delicate and professional care. MJ went above and beyond to provide training, and improved Shermans leash aggression. I just can't say enough about how grateful I am that Rover has such quality people like MJ. I feel like I found my Rover. Can't wait to book again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and experience with cats and dogs. I pay close attention to their moods, play with them, and notice any changes in behavior. I’m also willing and comfortable caring for other pets, and I keep owners updated so they know their animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away I am self employed working as a shopper with instacart and doordash, so I can be very flexible with the needs of the family and pet. I care for pets in my home or my clients’ homes by providing a safe and comfortable environment, following feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes clean, and giving plenty of attention and playtime. I also watch for any changes in behavior or health and make sure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away
“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”
“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”
About: My husband and I have 3 cats and a golden retriever since he was only 3 months old. Together we’ve potty trained our dog as well as a long list of other commands! We enjoy playing with him, taking him to the dog park, getting some runs in playing fetch, and training him with snacks and treats! Our golden gets along great with our cats, they keep each other company and chase one another to play. I am excited to meet your pets and provide the most fun and best care I can for a great caregiving experience! I am currently working full time, so I am open to early morning bookings (6-9am) and evening bookings 6-9pm on the weekdays. And available all day on weekends! note: I will be the only one taking care of your pets, my photos feature my husband who will not be present or participating in the caretaking) In my clients homes, I will firstly ask where the preferred location for potty is / whether they prefer to go outside or inside somewhere (ie doggy pads or litter box), I will confirm their diet needs (timing, location of food in the home). If the dog requires potty training or crate training, we can discuss a schedule of the best times to have a training session with your pet! For walks, I love to find local parks or dog parks, and am open to any recommended locations you can offer, I also carry my own doggy bags and have plenty of toys to bring for a fun time! Important note: I will be the only one taking care of your pets, my photos feature my husband who will not be present or participating in the caretaking)
About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking
“Natalia is an outstanding overnight dog sitter. She sends daily photos and videos. She keeps the house clean. She took our dog on 2+ hour walks each day. She is the best!”
“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”
About: I love animals. I volunteered at the Oakland SPCA as a pet socializer. My duties included taking the dogs for their walks, playing with them outside and getting a good photo to update the website. Seeing how each dog got excited to go on their walks just made my day! I was also responsible for the cats as well. I grew up with a show doberman pinscher and cats. He was lovable, loyal and such a wonderful pet. We ended up getting a mate for him after he was done with shows. I love dachshund's. They are just adorable. I currently have 2 cats, Marcus Miller and Monet.
“Whitney did a great job while staying in my home for almost 2 weeks and caring for my senior girl pup. I was impressed with her communication and transparency about what was going on. I would definitely use her (and her mom) again! Thanks!”
About: I grew up with pets my whole life including 4 dogs, 9 cats, to small animals such as hamsters, fish, and turtles. I have a certification in dog training so if there's any issues with your pup, I can also help you with it during your dog's stay! Fur babies is my whole world and I've dedicated myself to them for my life. I love all of them and will provide them with the best care that I can! Can't wait to meet your furmaliy member! I work full time in a office so the only time I'm available will be weekends. Saturday and Sunday available all day and accept same day booking. Kiddie pool provided in the summer for dogs who loves water and wants to cool down. Dogs will have play time with my dog indoor/outdoor that's closely supervised.
Harder-Tennyson pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience with Nyah. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure he got his daily walks. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. My dog loved her and I felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!
Francis truly goes above and beyond for his clients. His communication was excellent—I loved receiving updates about his schedule and how my cats were doing throughout the visits. I felt totally at ease while I was away, and I’d happily rebook with Francis anytime.
Felicia is professional, compassionate, and adored by my border collies! She spent a rainy week watching my home and pups, and I came home to an immaculate house and clean pups. Not sure how she did it, but she was excellent. I can't wait to work with her again. - Chris
Left for almost four days out of state for my brother wedding. Bella took good care of my animals while I was gone, and would recommend to anyone looking for animal care. She stayed in my home with them, and everything was clean and animals were happy. Nova is a large dog ~100lbs and doesn’t appear she had any troubles with her. Would look to rebook if I ever had the need again.
Angela loves all pets like they are her own. She is incredibly responsive, makes sure they take alllllll their meds, and sends THE cutest photos/updates. I always feel assured knowing my senior, Violet, is in Angela’s capable hands. 10/10 - will absolutely be back!
Inga took great care of my two senior girls one of which has a few medical issues and requires medication 3 times a day. She sent updates with photos and I could see both dogs were being well cared for. Inga has such a bright and positive energy about her and it's evident that she loves dogs and they love her! I was able to enjoy my time away with zero concerns or worries. If you have senior dogs you know what a gift that is! I will definitely book with Inga again and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Inga for taking such wonderful care of my girls!
Claudia is wonderful!! When I got home, the dogs were relaxed. For me, that's a sign of good pet sitting. They are comfortable with Claudia and her care. The pictures Claudia sent me showed that they were doing well. My dogs are getting older and need medication, which Claudia handled well. I will book her again!
These guys are great! I could tell they had good energy when they came over for a meet and greet before we left on our trip. We needed house/dog sitters and we returned to happy pups and a clean house. We enjoyed our trip knowing our fuzzy babies were safe and sound. They sent us pictures throughout the week and even washed the bed sheets so we didn't have to worry about cleaning when we arrived back home. It was a great experience with these guys and we will use them again for sure!
