“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Josie was a great house-sitter! Very appreciative of her flexibility with scheduling, and she took great care of my dog, who’s still learning how to meet new people and be away from me.”
“Richard was excellent watching my dogs overnight at my place for two nights. He was very loving and patient with my anxious pupper and by the end they were getting along great. Richard was also a very respectful house guest and left the place better than he found it. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”
About: My pet care experience includes looking after cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I'm happy to maintain litter boxes, take dogs on long walks and play fetch, spend time with cats, administer pills and medications to any animal (even if they are not excited about it), and provide pets and scritches whenever needed I'm currently working 8-4:30 with open availability every early morning, evening, and weekend from now until June 6! During the summers, my availability will be completely open! I am experienced caring for pets in other people's homes, but unfortunately not in my own because I have two rescued cats of my own. I love taking dogs on walks, feeding and spending time with cats, and looking after all types of animals in your home!
“Akiko was incredible! She watched our senior pup for over 10 days in our home over the holidays. She kept us updated daily and took good care of our home. She was attentive to our senior dogs needs including slow walks, feeding schedule, and even carrying up stairs. We can’t thank her and recommend her enough!”
“Shareese is a gem! All fears of leaving our beloved fur-babes were gone when we met Shareese at our meet & greet. She took so much of her time to help my daughter & I feel comfortable, and it was clear she would love our dogs and cat in our absence. Her morning photos and daily updates were always highlights of our days while we missed our babies, & it was incredible to be able to enjoy our trip, knowing our babies were happy. We’re certain our Newfie already misses her & love that even our shy Chow Chow warmed up to her over our week away. Thank you for loving our babies for us this week, Shareese!”
“Iris was a pleasure to work with. She was responsive and considerate with our short timeline and sensitive dog. She bonded quickly with June after a couple of initial meet and greets, and was patient with her and communicative with us during her stay. We can’t wait for her to look after June again!”
“Belinda was amazing! She is so sweet and sent tons of photos and updates throughout the stay. Ignacio loved her (rare for him to bond so quickly with new people) which shows her level of care and thoughtfulness! We would absolutely have her watch iggy again.”
“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Trustworthy sitter that was super flexible with our schedule and attentive to our pup’s needs! House was spotless and dog was happy upon our arrival home. Will definitely plan to invite again!”
“Nicky did great with my dog. He isn’t super comfortable with others taking care of him, but he seemed really at ease with Nicky and warmed up quickly. I was able to not worry about him while out of town, knowing that he was being taken care of. Thanks, Nicky”
“Shivani was incredible and the best sitter we’ve had! She took such great care of our pup, our two cats, and our home. Our pup is fairly reactive and has some big feelings about the world, so it can be hard to find people she is comfortable with. She seemed to be quite at ease with Shivani and enjoyed her time with her! Our shy cat also loved Shivani! Shivani also sent a lot of updates about our pets, which was soooo incredibly helpful and really put us at ease while we were away! Truly can’t say enough positive things about her and we will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future!”
“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve fostered and volunteered with a wide variety of animals over the last 10 years including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, and farm animals. I’ve worked with a variety of ages (neonatal to senior), treated a variety of medical conditions (requiring medications, injections, and inhalers), and cared for animals of all temperaments (dog reactive, anxious, etc.) I’m currently a full time student at Berkeley Law but I’m usually on campus for only 5 or so hours a day. During the summer, I will be working remotely. On weekends, I am available all day. I will ensure that your pet stays in their usual routine while providing them plenty of love and attention. I will respect the animals boundaries in your home and build trust by creating a safe environment while you are gone.

Hoover-Foster pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog, Enzo, decided to give Robert some attitude and behaved differently than usual during their time together. Thankfully, Robert handled things very well and was able to manage the situation. He was also very accommodating and flexible with our unique timing and apartment building setup. We are so thankful for his time and care!
Victoria apartment-sat with Snowy for three days and was absolutely on top of everything from walks to treats to cuddle time. Provided a lot of comfort and confidence that my 3yr old corgi would be well taken care of. Look forward to her and Snowy hanging out again.
Shareese was a huge help with our elderly dog while we were away. Our dog was having a hard time with age-related changes and Shareese provided such calm and compassionate care. She was patient in all our communication and helped us figure out how to keep our dog feeling comfortable. We are so grateful to have found her and for the peace of mind she gave us.
Sarah was awesome. She took care of my high maintenance blind, senior dog for three days while I was out of town. She handled his many medications and followed my detailed instructions for his care completely. She even moved my car into the garage for me when I needed it, and my home was spotless upon return. She is very professional and very thorough. And is especially skilled with sr/diabled dogs. I will for sure book her again for help with my lil guy.
Ida and Travis were amazing to work with! They sent tons of cute photos of my cats, were the best communicators, and even left my home cleaner than they found it. They were very attentive to learning about my cats' needs and managing challenges like my sticky front door key. I'd definitely use them again!
Kendra fits us in sort of last minute, but despite that she was very thorough in getting the details needed to care for my senior crew. Both my cat and my dog have several medications a day, and Kendra handled it all very smoothly. She paid extra attention to some troubles my old dog was having, and kept me updated throughout her stay. House was very clean and well maintained, and everyone seemed happy and content. My younger dog even wanted to go home with Kendra! Highly recommend her and will use her help again as soon as I can.
Robyn came and took care of my older cat with an illness for 1 week. My cat, Nyx, requires medicine twice a day and lots of cuddle time which Robyn provided equally. It was the second booking ive made with Robyn. Again everything was great, and my cat was happy and healthy upon my return. Highly reccomend! Robyn a great! Thank you!!!!
Valerie was great! Rafa took to her immediately and really enjoyed her company and care. She provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. She asked lots of questions demonstrating her attention to Rafa’s particular needs. We highly recommend Valerie!
Yena was great - I could tell my dogs felt safe with her right away in her first walk-through, and she was not daunted by an energetic pitbull and terrier duo. While we were away for 4 days, she stayed over, and gave great photo diaries of her time with the pups. She took thoughtful steps to reflect that she heard and executed my directions and details in the photos, so I knew the dogs were staying on their routines. She was diligent and did what she said she'd do. I would hire her again, for sure.
