About: My son Nicholas and I have have been lifetime animal & dog people, and have had multiple dogs in our lifetimes. We both work from home, and share a love for taking care of animals. Our dog of almost 14 years passed away last year, and while we aren't ready to get a dog again, we've been missing the energy of having a dog in our home. We're experienced with both puppy's and senior dogs, as well as the health & aging related cycles of pet-owning, having cared for our dog through cancer treatments, kidney disease, arthritis, and more. We live near Golden Gate Park and love taking walks in our neighborhood and in the park and happy to walk your dog in their favorite neighborhoods! We've been part of this platform as pet parents for over 10 years, so we understand the process from both sides. Our experience has taught us the importance of asking thoughtful questions before every stay to ensure your pet receives the personalized care, comfort, and attention they deserve. We work remotely and have the flexibility to get your dog out for frequent walks and potty breaks. This also means we can give lots of scratches and pets during the day. We have enclosed front yard that the dogs can roam and do their potty breaks. If your dog is older, we have dog proof steps that we put on our wood floors to prevent our dog from slipping. We also have a new dog bed and dog stairs if needed.

About: I’ve owned several dogs, large labrador and mixed breed smaller dogs, and several cats over the years (currently I have a young cat), so I would love to help you with your pets while I am preparing this summer for my move out of SF and to my new career here in Northern California. I am currently applying to jobs for my professional career post grad while living here for my last month in the city, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My planned move out is end of June 2026. My home is not available for pet boarding or watching, but I live in the Sunset neighborhood and have an e-bike to travel to your homes for your pet’s care.
“Mikele was patient, communicative, and prompt. Even though my dog didn’t warm up, she handled the situation with professionalism and genuine care. I would recommend her as someone who is very reliable and thoughtful.”

About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.
“Dana was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! My boy cat can be a little bit of a trouble maker but she handled everything with ease. Super communicative and so sweet. I’ll definitely book her again if the need arises. Thank you Dana!! ❣️”

About: Since I was 10 I have had dogs in my life. From the loving ones who to sit and be pet to the ones who are busy busy busy and need a job, I have experienced most of the likes of pets. As for personalities, I can take care of the overly anxious ones to the super social ones. So if you need a couch potato for your pet, or a marathon runner, I can be your sitter! I love them all! I work out regularly (2-3 hrs) either at the gym or running outside so that can be extra convenient if your pet is active as well! I am also doing school part time (1-3 hrs). Other than that, the rest of my day is open! I live in a duplex with no other animals. Lots of open space for them to roam around. Also very close to Golden Gate park for longer excursions.
“Dave folllows our senior dog’s needs well. He really enjoys his work. He sends great updates. And is very caring to our dogs. Given enough time they’d want to go home with him!”
“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for the past four years since moving to San Francisco. I started by helping friends and neighbors with their dogs, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m very attentive, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether that means sticking closely to feeding schedules, giving extra attention on walks, or making sure they get plenty of playtime and affection, I take pet care seriously and treat every dog like my own. I’m happy caring for energetic dogs, shy dogs, seniors, and pups who need a little extra patience and attention! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime as needed, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency while you are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and always try to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet’s routine. I focus on providing attentive, reliable care while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very communicative and make sure to send daily photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. I also respond quickly to messages and am happy to adjust care as needed to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have cared for all different types of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them in the house and always took responsibility for their care. When family and friends leave town I always take care of them if I can. Having grown up with dogs, I have also cared for senior dogs and been responsible for administering medications. I have just finished a job contract, and while I am waiting to start graduate school in the fall I will have more than enough free time to care for your pets. My days will be relatively free so I can be with your pet whenever is convenient for you. My weekends are going to be a bit more touch and go, but weekdays will be nothing but time to love and care for your furry family. I like to keep a very hands/eye on approach to pet care. They will get constant attention (of course as long as they want it) when I'm around. I am also able to crate dogs if needed!
“Great sitter for pets with meds! My cat needs medicine twice a day (syringe by mouth) and Sathiya was great about helping with handling him and his meds even though he's slower to warm up to strangers. Came back home to a healthy, happy cat and a well taken care of apartment after getting lots of pictures and updates while I was gone :)”
“Rocio really helped us out when we needed someone to drop in with our Frenchie at the last minute. She was extremely communicative and kept us updated on the visit with so many great pictures! Thank you Rocio!!”


“Catherine was wonderful. She dogsat for me for the afternoon and was very gentle and caring with my nervous boy. She was very prompt and provided me with updates and pictures. It’s great to know there is someone I can trust with my anxious pup :)”

“Hanna was the prefect cat sitter for our Luna. Luna is rather shy and usually does not come out for visitors. Hanna was very patient and slowly earned her trust. I appreciate Hanna's constant communication and looked forward to updates and pictures each visit. It was such a relief to know Luna was in good care while we were away. I highly recommend Hanna for cat care.”

I have rescued two dogs - one 12-yr old Lhasa apso and a 2 year old terrier mix. I have experience administering medication (there's always a way!), training, end of life care. I've had happy clients in Boston and abroad when I lived in Sweden and have a broad range of experience with large dogs to small dogs. I work from home every day and don't currently have any pets of my own - so I'm fully flexible! I can do AM/evening walks, long weekends, or longer stretches! I always heed the client's requirements and requests from feeding time to walk length - I'm happy to take your dog on a spirited hike or a short walk around the block, whatever is best for them. I can work on training with them and will be sure to feed them their allowed amount of treats.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats, including feeding them, keeping their spaces clean, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. I’m good at noticing their behavior and responding to their needs. I’m reliable, patient, and enjoy spending time caring for animals. I’m currently working full time. I have open availability on the weekends. I am open to week nights if needed just need a 24 hour notice. I care for pets in other people’s homes by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and are comfortable. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, keep their space clean, and spend time with them so they feel safe and not alone. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure their needs are met while their owners are away.

Jacob is SO courteous, kind and communicative! It is easy to trust him with our little pup, and he makes us feel at ease while we’re away. I’m confident Boog will get thoughtful attention and genuine care when he’s with Jacob. He was an easy “yes” for us to book regular services!

Abigail did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Owen, for a week we were away. Owen is a senior cat who’s very attached to his humans, and usually does not warm up to strangers easily; but even though it was her first time meeting Owen, Abigail quickly established a rapport with him. She clearly understands cats and enjoys interacting with them. We really appreciated her updates and photos, which helped us to rest easy knowing that Owen was safe and happy during our absence. We would recommend Abigail without hesitation.

Nadya took excellent care of my high energy puppy and he absolutely loved her. She’s super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos and meaningful updates which was very sweet to be able to see and read while stuck at work missing my baby! She’s an excellent dog sitter—very trustworthy and responsible, I would have her back anytime!

Couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Cameron was a dream to work with from the start and we knew from the first test visit that our cat, Ollie, also liked her. She was responsive, responsible, proactive, and clearly knows cats. Her updates and photos were thorough and kept us assured throughout the trip that Ollie was well taken care of. We would not hesitate to work with Cameron again.
