“Cheryll is awesome. She truly cares about the dogs she walks. She gave my pups a great walk and was very responsive and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely use her again as a dog walker, and would highly recommend her to any dog parents out there.”
“Rachel is by far one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had! We have 3 dogs all with different needs and she listened and took care of each one perfectly. She went above and beyond with my request and sent amazing pictures, leaving me with a peace of mind that the dogs were having fun and were taken care of!”
“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
About: Hi, I am Perry! I love dogs and grew up with them! I’ve volunteered at the San Francisco SPCA for over a decade and have worked with many breeds of dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have also walked up to six dogs off leash at Fort Funston when I worked with Top Dog SF for two years. I always strive to stay calm and respond rather than react in any stressful situation. I specialize in animal safe handling and behavior, and look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend for lots of daily enrichment and exercise. My availability is weekdays (Monday through Friday) that works best for me. I am also flexible on weekends if needed when enough advanced notice is given. Safety is my number one rule. On my housesitting visits, I will follow your guidelines and rules (if your have any) for taking great care of your pet and making them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have loved and cared for animals throughout my entire life. I started fostering dogs and puppies a couple years ago (after our 16 year old chihuahua passed away) and it has brought a lot of happiness to our family. My 7 year old daughter especially loves animals and is excited to help care for your pets. We will treat your dog as if it was our own! We look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pups! I’m currently only working part time and I am home throughout the day. I love going on walks daily and can take your dog out multiple times a day! I have a fenced back yard and lots of space for your dog. Dogs are welcome anywhere in our home and we will treat them like they are own!
About: Hi! I'm Amy. I love dogs, and just recently moved to Boston from the Bay Area. I've been a dog owner myself (an adorable corgi named Lucky) and have been a trusted dog sitter and walker for neighbors and co-workers alike! I was previously a management consultant and am currently a grad student studying public health at Harvard. I’ve moved around quite a bit so having a dog of my own isn’t very feasible. I joined Rover so I could have the flexibility to spend time loving and taking care of other furry friends while maintaining my studies. I love walks and have a ton of patience. I'd love to get to know your dog and see if we would be a good fit! :)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all ages—from bottle babies to seniors with medical needs. I foster regularly, help friends with their pets, and have a happy, healthy kitty of my own. I’m trained to understand cat behavior and health cues, and I’m all about creating a stress-free, loving environment. While cats are my specialty, I also enjoy walking dogs! I have a strong sense of animal body language and prioritize safety and comfort for every pet I meet. Whether your companion is playful, shy, senior, or high-energy, I’ll meet them where they’re at. Let me know how I can help your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away! I'm home/working from home 4 days a week, 3 days a week in office (Tues-Thurs). Can accept cat boarding at any time, can do dog walks after the 9-5 those 3 days I'm away or during the day when I'm home. I live in a 800 sqft apartment with one Ragdoll cat that is the most passive animal you will ever meet. She will greet your cat then mostly leave them alone (unless initiated for late night zoomies). I host up to 3 additional cats at a time to ensure each cat has lots of space to themselves, which really allows them to get comfortable faster. Home is child and dog free. My partner is also highly skilled in cat care in case something were to happen to me.
“Ilona did a great job with our pup while I was away! From the first time they met my dog loved her and warmed up to her fast. She followed instructions for timing of walks and sent updates with pics.”
“Winnie was exceptional in caring for my complicated chihuahuas and shy cat while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and dedication provided them with the companionship they craved, going far beyond what was expected. My pets were happy and well-cared for, and I’m incredibly grateful for her outstanding help. Highly recommend!”
“From the first meeting, it was clear that San has a genuine love for dogs. I appreciate the detailed updates and photos I received after each walk, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.”
About: With 10 years of dog care experience, I’ve mastered the art of keeping pups happy, healthy, and tail-wagging!

Whether it's a puppy, an active adult, or a senior dog, I provide expert care that ensures your furry friend feels loved and well-cared-for—giving you peace of mind while you're away! I’m available 7 days a week to provide top-quality pet care and pet sitting, making your furry friends my full-time priority.

I understand the importance of reliability, so I always respect your schedule and your time, making sure that I’m there exactly when needed. Whether it’s daily care, overnight sitting, or just a check-in, you can count on me to give your pets the best care, every time! When caring for pets in my home or your home, I tailor the care to ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would with their owner. **In my home**: * I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and interaction. I keep their routine as close to what they’re used to, including meal times, exercise, and any special needs they may have. I provide supervised playtime, enrichment activities, and of course, lots of cuddles. If they’re staying overnight, I make sure they have a safe, quiet space to sleep and rest, while offering the same attention and care they'd get at home. **In your home**: * I follow the pet’s usual routine closely, whether that’s walking, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I’ll respect your home’s rules and your pet’s personal space, making sure they feel secure and happy in familiar surroundings. Whether it's playtime, administering medications, or just giving them affection, I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you're away. Ultimately, I provide personalized, loving care that reflects your pet’s individual needs and routine, whether they’re in my home or yours.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from tiny pups to 100-pound gentle giants. I live in a quiet, safe area up in the hills with a spacious two-bedroom home and a huge terrace where dogs can safely play, sunbathe, and relax. I work from home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone and will get 24/7 attention and care. Currently I work at home and have much time to stay with pets. I will take them go out for at lease twice a day. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment, with plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I also make sure they get the right amount of activity and downtime based on their personality and needs.
About: I can care for your cat or dog (or both!) while making sure to play with them to keep them energized and happy. I look forward to meeting your adorable fur babies! I am in school, but I take online classes to ensure I can take the time to care for pets along with my part-time job. The schedule is consistent each week, and I am available for drop-ins every day. I keep an eye on my cat and dog when they are outside. With a fenced yard, I am able to watch them closely to make sure they do not jump. Inside the home, I always keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe.
About: I’ve trained my two dogs, a German Sheppard and miniature dachshund. I love all animals including cats! No job is too hard as all animals need love and patience! I’m currently in between jobs and looking for something to do in my off time! I am open on late night calls as well if any emergencies occur! I only have a mini dachshund who loves to play, if you dog spends the night I currently live in a luxury apartment with a large dog park next door!
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs for years and just love spending time with animals. I’m pretty good at reading their moods—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone to quietly hang out with. I make sure each visit is more than just feeding or walking—I give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m always patient, respectful of their boundaries, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I always try to make the most of my visits—walks, feeding, and definitely playtime. I know your pet will be alone for a while after I leave, so I do my best to give them attention, love, and some good company while I’m there. I’ve got a good sense for animal moods—if your pet’s feeling shy, I’ll give them space. If they’re excited to hang out, I’m all in for playtime and cuddles. I follow your instructions to a T, make sure everything gets done right, and always double-check that everything’s locked up before I go.
“I needed a last-minute dog walker and Samantha was incredibly kind and caring with my dog. She took the time to get to know him and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during the walk. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors pets when they are away on vacation and have taken care of my own dog for four years now. I am currently working part time at a golf course so I am free during the week and sometimes on the weekends depending on my schedule. I have a fenced off backyard at my home and inside the house there is plenty of space of the dogs to roam around and settle down.

Amy H.
“Amy is an exceptional doggy sitter. She is a kind and warm-hearted hooman, and will also give the doggo many warm snuggles and smooches. Lots of entertainment will be provided by the hooman, such as balls, doggy bones, long walks, and of course, many dog parks. I believe that Amy has the potential to be one of the most flourishing doggo babysitters not only by looking at her superb time management and organizational skills, but also through her love of boops on the pupper’s nose. I can guarantee on my doggo treats that Amy and the to-be-babysat doggo will form a bond of mutual love and adoration. I highly recommend this hooman. Please consider. Thank you. Sincerely, Carolyn H.”

Kevin S.

Richard U.
“I've known Richard for many years, and one thing that's always stood out is his love for animals. He has long-time experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. For over a decade, he raised a dog and a cat together in the same household—no small feat!—and also lovingly cared for two guinea pigs during that time. Currently, he shares his home with two adorable cats. Richard is incredibly patient and observant. He has a soft heart and a natural ability to connect with animals, always taking the time to understand their personalities, needs, and moods. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship, Richard creates a safe and loving environment for pets. I trust him completely with my own pets, and I have no doubt that he’ll treat every dog or cat he cares for like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”

Hillsborough dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you Tony for walking Jet while I was on my trip. When I came home, Jet was content because he got his daily exercise! You took such a worry off my mind. Thanks for being dependable and trustworthy and I can see that you love dogs and I am so happy that Jet found a human friend like you!
Aaron is excellent! He's very responsive to my texts and gets back to me right away. He's also very organized and had to remind me of our walk schedule for this week! James Dean loves walking with him and is very enthusiastic when Aaron arrives to walk him. A happy (and tired out) dog is the best proof that my dog is getting the most out of his walks with Aaron.
