“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”
“Words can never express my gratitude for Trina! After going on a camping trip and unexpectedly being out of range of cell service I had great comfort in knowing my fur child was with her. She went above and beyond to care and help manage while life took sits twists and turns. Highly recommend”
“Yena did such a wonderful job watching our dog Chester while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and made sure to share updates (and photos!) with us throughout the weekend. She even watered our plants all three days and left us some precious instax photos of Chester! We look forward to hiring her again- she’s very responsible and Chester clearly loved her!”
“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”
“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”
“This was our second time trusting Nicky to watch our dogs, and she did a fabulous job once again. During our week-and-a-half international trip, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and updates—our dogs always looked happy and healthy. When I returned, the house was tidy, the dogs were freshly brushed, their eyes were clean, and their water bowls were full. I couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind while being so far away. I have no complaints and would absolutely hire her again!”
“Matt is always great with our dog, Elliott. He was very responsible with Elliott's medication schedule and attentive to his emotional needs. I'll be re-booking Matt for our next trip as well. Thank you, Matt!”
“Charlii was amazing during the 3 weeks she house sat for us and our 3 pets. She sent daily updates and pictures/videos and took terrific care of both our animals and our home. She is calm and sweet, and extremely communicative. This was truly the best house/pet sitting experience we had. We couldn't recommend her more!”
“Samantha was incredible. Miura had an ear infection that required a trip to the vet while I was gone for a week, and Samantha was extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. She took Miura to the vet, picked her up, and did all the ear drops necessary. Miura can be an anxious pup so I was worried about having someone else take her to the vet, but everything went super smoothly with Samantha taking her. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!”
“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”
About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.
“Celeste watched our shih tzu at our apartment for 3 days and she gave very detailed updates along with many pictures/videos multiple times a day. She followed all instructions to a tee. She also left our apartment just as we left it and was very clean. Our dog loved her and we couldn’t recommend Celeste more for dog sitting!”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Fuliang was always quick to respond and took great care of our dog. He was super flexible and even came early and stayed later than planned to accommodate our flight schedule.”
“Tia is an absolute gem of a human! My babies adored her. She was attentive, caring, and so sweet! I have an XXXL dog + a medium o up & a cat & she spent time with each of them, walked the pups twice a day, and made time to play with my kitten. 10/10 recommend- she’s fantastic!”
“Marina is great! She house/dog sat my two small older dogs for three nights. She is/was dependable, trustworthy and respectful of my house with all its little quirks. If I had a question, she answered right away and sent pictures. The house was as clean as if I'd never left. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about my little dogs. My dogs were very calm and happy when I returned. I doubt they missed me at all. I would definitely hire Marina again.”
“The perfect match for our active sweetheart. Imani did a great job caring for our pittie mix who loves life and people. She provided all necessary care for her and even went above and beyond with a couple of house hold chores that she proactively saw and did. Would definitely use her again - Ava loved her!”
“We are very happy to have found Lisette to housesit and take care of our new dog, Pony. This was our first trip away after adopting a dog with separation anxiety and some leash reactivity, so we were a bit nervous. Lisette came over for a meet-and-greet and was very calm and comfortable with Pony. On the day of our departure she came over right on time and jumped in with Pony, feeding him and taking him on a walk. She sent pictures twice a day and reassured us that things were going well. She also took great care of our apartment and left it very neat and tidy. We hope we can have her stay again next time.”
About: Active sitter who grew up with rescue dogs and understands their needs with both empathy and care. Experienced in house‑sitting for dogs—matching their routines while you're away. Energetic and ready for jogs or scenic nature drives to keep tails wagging. Also have experience house sitting for cats. Am available for early morning/evening walks in Oakland; able to house sit in the Danville/San Ramon area as I work nearby! Weekends are very available. Unable to offer services in my own home, but understand the importance of keeping dogs on leashes in non-fenced areas, and making sure that all doors, potential areas to escape are closed! In addition I will ensure that any potential hazards are prevented, and that areas are clean and sanitary for pets. I also can provide frequent updates and photos if you would like
