About: I've been a cat lover my whole life. While growing up, my mom's allergies prevented me from having a cat of my own, so I only had dogs. You can only imagine my joy when my neighbours would ask me to be their cat sitter! When I got married, one of the first things I did was adopt my own cats: Pablo, our 15-year-old tuxedo cuddle monster who we’ve had for 13 years; and Bernie, our spirited 5-year-old brown tabby we adopted as a kitten. To this day, I still have friends and new neighbour who ask me to be their cat sitter when they go out of town. As cat parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your cat while you’re away, and I’d love to help make your time away a little easier—for you and your cat! Whether it’s to feed them, clean their litter box, playing with them, or just some comforting company, you can rest assured they'll receive the same attention I give my own cats. I'm also comfortable taking care of small and medium-sized dogs if they are also part of your family, and you can also rely on me to water your indoor and outdoor plants, collect your mail, and bring in your bins if it’s the end of collection day. I'm currently prioritizing cat care for my clients. For most of the year, I am available 7 days a week to your home to check on and care for your fur babies. I will come to your home as requested to feed your cats, change their water, and scoop their litter. If they need additional care with brushing, exercise, or other attention, please let me know.
“Rawnna is awesome! She took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they seem so happy and well-taken care of! She was totally understanding of my anxiety about having a new person in my house, and sent the best photos of them playing every day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again.”
“Xander has been doing drop in visits each day while I’m at work to be with my Labrador and give him some company and a potty/snack break. It’s been a great relief having Xander’s support! I know my pup is in good hands!”
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My pets are always in good hands with Angela. She is prompt and gives lots of love and attention to my fur babies while I’m gone. She sends photo updates and messages to keep me in the daily loop of activities!”
About: Hi! I’ve been loving and caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years—my own and others’. I treat every pet like family, whether they need playtime, snuggles, or just someone to hang out with while you’re away. You can count on me to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekday routine! I’m available Monday through Friday during the day, which means I can help with walks, check-ins, feedings, and plenty of love while you’re at work. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy—it’s a happy part of my everyday schedule. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When I’m in your home, I stick to your pet’s routine—meals, walks, meds, and all the little things that keep them happy and stress-free. I treat every pet like they’re my own and every home with the same care and respect.
About: I currently have three cats. They say I’m their favorite human. They trained me to ensure I have optimal skills with the laser pointer. I’m also an expert feather dangler thanks to them. They also say I do a great job with the litter box, they rave how it’s always fresh and clean. I use to have a shitzu, but she who shall not be named kept her. But I’m still the shitzu’s favorite human. I currently work full time in Hayward. Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm. If you are in the area I can stop by during my lunch break. I am in upper management so I do have the freedom to come and go. As long as I get my 40 hrs in. I am available to care for your pets after work and all day on weekends. Since I have three cats and I live in an apartment, I don’t plan on doing many in home boarding. We all know cats are territorial. But I’m more than willing to stop by your home and visit your fur babies.
“Absolutely will be booking Denisse AGAIN! She goes above and beyond when it came to watching over my two cats. I loved all the photos and detailed messages she left with every visit. I can’t rave enough about Denisse and I am sure my kitties are going to miss her dearly!”
About: I have a deep passion for dogs of all sizes and ages, and with over 10 years of pet care experience, I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s feeding, bathing, walking, or just giving them love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and personalities—and yes, they’re more than welcome to snuggle up and sleep on my bed! I have a dog of my own who’s a big part of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I also work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the dogs I watch. Whether it’s daytime visits, evening walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make their comfort and safety my top priority. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease—plus, they’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I have a big fences backyard with lots of grass for playtime. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to help them feel right at home. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow all instructions closely, keeping their pet’s routine and environment consistent. I give each pet lots of attention, affection, and care—just like I would with my own dog.
“Rebooked Dani and she took such good care of our two boy cats as always. She did not give up on our shy older cat and made sure he got attention. She spoils our naughty younger cat - the teaser she gifted him is his favorite toy now!”
About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.
“Jason was great in taking care of our cat. We didn’t have cell phone coverage during our trip but we had a good time with no worries knowing our pet was in good hands. He communicated well on how the day went and kept us updated daily. Would definitely recommend and would book him again for our next trip!”
About: I have always had a deep love for dogs, having been surrounded by them since childhood. My journey as a dog owner officially began four years ago after we bought our first house. Being committed to responsible pet ownership, we conducted thorough research before adopting our dog, and our learning curve continued to rise after bringing him home. This journey has not only enriched our lives but has also led us to form meaningful friendships with fellow pet lovers. Apart from caring for our own dog, we have had the pleasure of looking after the furry companions of our friends outside Rover. My biggest strengths lie my meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of responsibility. I am fortunate to be a stay-at-home spouse. My daily routine involves caring for my plants and my beloved dog, activities that bring me immense joy and fulfillment. If you can tell me more about your furry child, such as what he/she is allergic to and what he/ she doesn’t like…This allows me to ensures that they feel comfortable and loved during my visit. I bring energy, love, and reliability right to your doorstep. Your furry family gets tail-wagging walks full of sniffs, exploration, and just the right amount of adventure for their personality. During drop-in visits, I'm the friend who brightens their day with belly rubs, playtime, fresh treats, and all the attention they crave. I don't just follow routines—I bring them to life! Whether it's that special walk route your dog adores or remembering exactly how your cat likes their afternoon snack served, I make every visit feel personal. Plus, your home stays secure with mail collected and a lived-in look that gives you peace of mind. Your pets stay happy in their favorite spot, while getting the exercise, companionship, and care that keeps their tails wagging until you return.
“Our cat usually will not come out for a sitter for several days. But he poked his head out from under the bed and let her pet him the second day! She definitely understands cats. Was calm and let Picasso come to her. By the third day they were buddies. We have another longer trip planned and are so happy she is available!”
“Everything was great with Maria taking care of our cat. He needs heart medication administered twice a day (in a pill pocket), so we needed someone reliable. Cats aren't always easy to watch because they are wary of new people, but Maria powered through and made sure Loki was cared for...even when he insisted on hiding under the bed! Thanks, Maria!”
“Supriya took amazing care of my senior cat. My cat is very shy and does not let anyone pet her. However, she took a liking to Supriya right away and was happy to get head scratches & pets, and even purred! Supriya really has a wonderful way with cats. I appreciate the patient, kind and gentle way she cared for my cat. Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy, reserved cats. I’ve boarded cats in my home, done drop-in visits for multi-cat households, and always make sure pet parents feel connected while they’re away. I send regular updates with photos and videos so you’ll never have to wonder how your pets are doing—you’ll see they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. In addition to cats, I also have experience with dogs and even tortoises, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to give them the attention and love they deserve. Since I work part-time evenings, I have plenty of daytime flexibility for pet care. I enjoy making cat care part of my regular weekly routine. I create a safe, calm environment by keeping areas clean, securing doors and windows, and sticking to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Michelle was thorough and very sweet with my little one! She gave me a detailed summary of her food, bathroom, mood, and play situation. She was also timely and reliable in every interaction. I also loved how careful she was with giving my cat time to warm up to her. Will definitely book her again!”

aiyana c.
“We have used Aiyana to dog sit on multiple occasions while we were away on vacation. My dogs absolutely love her! They are full of energy and Aiyana has no problem keeping up with them and keeping them entertained. She is very caring and gentle. Our most recent dog had anxiety and just needed a little more attention and care. Aiyana would come around lunch hour for a couple of hours during the week to feed, walk and play with my pup while I was stuck at work. She is a gem! Our minds our at ease when we are away knowing our fur babies are being cared for by someone who loves them just as much as us!”

Zhuke's innate sense of responsibility and attentiveness ensures that every pet's individual needs are met, whether it be a special diet, medication, or just some extra playtime.

It’s clear how much she genuinely cares.

Hayward cat parents share their Rover experiences
Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.
Mary is exceptional. Apart from taking great care of our two cats while we were gone for a week, unfortunately one of our cats got sick. She communicated with us and ensure she got taken care of. Cant thank her enough for that. Would definitely recommend her.
We only had Lisa Marie stop by for one day but we’re verify happy with her service! Instructions were followed and there was good communication. There was only one minor misunderstanding which wasn’t too big of a deal. We’d be glad to have Lisa look after our kitties again
Desiree did a great job with the drop in visits for our cat Cece. She took care of giving her food and ensuring her water and litter was clean. She also played with Cece and gave her the love and affection she needed. Desiree sent us detailed reports every day along with videos of Cece. I would strongly recommend Desiree to anyone needing someone to look after their cat.
Angie was FANTASTIC with communication and took great care of our elderly kitty. She really went above and beyond while she cat sit for us, including starting some things in the wash that our precious girl soiled badly. We will definitely try to book her again!
I wanted Juejin again for my second time thought I somehow searching in the wrong place. However I was able to book her for a 2nd time. I would certainly keep her as a permanent sitter, however her area will be changing. Her new location area will be getting a very valued and dependable person for drop-in visits. I recommend her highly.
