“Angela took great care of my boys while I was away for a weekend trip. My doggies are usually pouty when I leave them for more than a few hours and they acted like I never left! Angela was also great with communication and very prompt to respond.”


“Sinead took great care of our cat Luna while we were away for the weekend. She made sure to send updates and pictures. We appreciate the time spent with our fur baby.”


“What an awesome find for entrusting our pets’ care to such a loving and caring person. We got photos of play dates, keeping them more active and attentive in a week than we typically do in an entire month. Highly recommend this professional who is responsive, caring, attentive and one of the best pet sitters we have encountered. Thank you!!!!!!”


About: With 4 years of pet care experience, I’ve watched friends’ and family’s pets and walked my neighbors’ dogs, always providing dependable, loving, and playful care. Your Weekend & Evening Pet Pal!! Tuesdays and Fridays: Available in the afternoons and evenings (until 8:00pm) Saturdays and Sundays: All day starting at 9:00am We keep our cat safe by keeping her indoors, where she’s protected from cars, predators, and outdoor risks, while still enjoying a loving, enriching home.

“I don’t think have ever seen our dog take to a human as much or as quickly as she did to Elizabeth 🐾. Elizabeth is a great communicator, flexible, conscientious. Wonderful with animals.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life—golden retrievers, English cocker spaniels, labs, and Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers. I’ve helped raise them from puppies all the way through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with all stages of care. I enjoy going for walks in Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle, and I’d love to have a dog join me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting throughout the day. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable and well taken care of. I give them plenty of attention, take them on walks, feed them, and make sure they’re doing great while you’re away.

“Vivian is an exceptional pet-sitter and we have been recurring customers! Our two cats and skittish dog, who often shies away from strangers, have warmed up enough to unabashedly clamor for attention. Our dog was actually looking forward for walks with Vivian, which is a first. Plus, the little notes of the visit and many photos of their sightings are an extra touch. We would definitely hire Vivian again!”


“Katie is wonderful! This was my first time leaving my cats for the weekend and in the care of someone else so I was a bit nervous to say the least but Katie did such a great job and I could feel at ease knowing they were in good hands! She was super communicative and kept me updated with pictures each day. They were clearly very well taken care of which means so much to me. Thanks Katie!”


“Julia was so great walking my dog Colby! She was so communicative and thorough every step of the way. My dog can be shy and he warmed up to her right away. Thanks so much for your help, Julia! Highly recommend her as a rover 😊”


“A+. Kristina dropped in to care for my 2 cats over three days while I was in Yosemite. She was consistently punctual, took care of food and litter but also played with my cats and brushed them a bit. She was very communicative and took lots of photos/videos. I came home to a clean apartment and content kitties. Absolutely will book again!”


“Meghan checked in on our kitties during the day while we were out of town. She sent the most detailed notes and the cutest pics! We would trust her again in a heartbeat. She’s top notch.”


About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I’d love to welcome your furry friend into my home! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years - with my own Maltipoo, Mushu, and helping friends and others with their pets. I love animals, and it’s my goal to give them the happiest and most comfortable life possible! As someone who works from home, I’m here 24/7 to provide your dog with plenty of attention, care, and companionship. My dog Mushu is friendly and playful :) I also volunteer at animal shelters, caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them a home away from home! Let me know if you have any special requests or details about your pup—I’m happy to accommodate! Whether you need short-term care or someone to watch your pup while you're away on a longer vacation, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate. I can dog sit in my home or I can care for them in the comfort of their own home to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whatever your needs, I’m here to provide loving, reliable care. Will follow all care instructions provided by pet parents to ensure your dog/cat feels safe, happy, and loved during their time with me. I’ll make sure they’re walked and fed on schedule, and we’ll have plenty of playtime together to keep them active and engaged!

About: I've helped take care of many friends and family pets, including an energetic lab, two tabby cat brothers, and an elderly beagle. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes/backyards, walking, and of course, playing! I am happy to provide any additional tasks as needed! I work full time, but I do have some work from days depending on the week, and I am usually home by 4 or 5 pm. I am very available on weekends as well! I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I would plan to keep their daily schedules as is and maintain their normal feeding and walking (if applicable) schedule, as well as provide time for additional enrichment. I would also plan to follow directions as listed and provide the best care for your pet.

“I highly recommend Grace as a pet sitter! She provided exceptional care for my cat and was incredibly communicative with frequent updates and pictures that reassured me while I was away. Her flexibility was also outstanding—she accommodated my last-minute schedule changes without any issue. It's evident how much she loves animals, as she ensured my cat received the best care and attention. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Thank you so much for your love and patience with our six month old puppy! Melissa was lovely, super responsive & very accommodating to all of our instructions with our pup. We greatly appreciated it!”


“I can always rely on Jesse. He looks out for my pets welfare and safety and that is literally all I need. Plus, he's just a very kind and caring person to boot! Thanks as always Jesse, you give me peace of mind.”


About: I provide loving, reliable care for puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their comfort and happiness while you’re away, with plenty of attention and affection always. I work from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, but I’m generally available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also available for boarding and pet care from Friday to Sunday. :) I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets in both my home and yours, providing plenty of attention, supervision and a stress-free atmosphere tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: We are a household filled with nothing but love for dogs! Adventures around the bay or lounging around the house for cuddles, we’ve got your fur baby covered. We often take care of our friends pups…even many at once! Let me know if your dog is potty trained and how often they need to go out. Any special behaviors around other dogs and humans. Medications and allergies Recall and ability to be off leash. Feeding instructions. I’m currently unemployed living in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have time to take out your pup for walks and potty breaks as much as they’ll need! I live in a 2BD apartment with lots of parks within blocks away! I love walking dogs around my neighborhood, the closest park is Rossi playground, which is is a 6 minute walk!

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years, and it’s always felt like second nature. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and it’s always a great feeling when they get excited to see me again. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages — from playful puppies to senior pets — including those with medical conditions that require daily medication or special attention. I’m physically active and spend a lot of time at the park, which makes it easy to incorporate fun and exercise into the pets’ routines. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine pretty naturally. I usually plan around feeding times, walks, and any special instructions the owner gives me. Even though I started doing it to earn extra money, I’ve actually come to enjoy the time I spend with the pets. It gives me a break from my own routine and adds some structure to my day. Plus, it’s rewarding to know the animals are happy and being well cared for I follow whatever routine the pet is used to — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I try to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Derrick B.
“Derrick is great with dogs and cats from what I have seen. My personal experience was him taking care of my pup Rufus, when he was as about 8 months at the time. I was out of town for two weeks. He asked for detailed instructions and even went as far as doing research on the needs for Rufus’ breed (Shiba Inu). Rufus was walked daily and taken to the dog park a couple of times. Derrick also stayed in my home and kept everything spotless. Would highly recommend Derrick to take care of your furry friend for a walk, dog sitting, or boarding.”
Inner Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elise was so wonderful with our boys, allowing us to fully relax into our vacation. She sent updates and the sweetest photos daily. Most importantly the cats loved her company as she would give them focused attention, play time, pets and treats. Thank you Elise!

Petra took great care of our cat while we were away for a few days! She did a great job making sure our cat got her meds, and also gave her plenty of treats and pets. :) Petra was communicative and sent plenty of pics and videos during her visits. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care, and will certainly reach out to her again in the future.
