Cordigen did a great job taking care of Munchi for the evening, giving her walks and helping her settle down. I came home to a nice relaxed dog. Thanks!

Kristine was so wonderful when we had family in town. She was very flexible on timing and showed up exactly when she said she would. Kristine was so kind and helpful to our pups who had to get fed at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book her again!

From the beginning of the booking to the last visit, Rachel was great! Each rover card provided great detail of the visits, keeping our minds at ease. And she was super accommodating when we wanted to add a last minute visit to the stays. Highly recommend her services and will definitely use her services for future bookings!

I'm so glad we found Fabiola, she was a wonderful caretaker to our rabbits. She came over before our trip to make sure she understood what was necessary and was communicative throughout. She was very thorough, leaving their space very clean. She was also kind and we will definitely book her again!

About: Animal care is not a second job or a "gig" for me, it is my entire focus. When I am with your beloved friend I will be "with" them and engaged. As a Pisces, I experience animals as filled with a divine spirit much like people are, and they deserve my undivided attention. I have trained dogs, cats, and horses and have been privileged to care for many senior pets over the years. I can give pills, shots, and sub-Q fluids. I make special foods and treats. I have a delicious venison jerky your dog might like, and working on a salmon one for the cats! For walks and drop-ins I am very flexible time wise. Early morning to early evening, all good. For sitting, I CANNOT currently accept overnights. I can visit your pets several times a day, from early morning to late at night. But cannot "sleep over" with them as I have my own dogs that need my attention at night. In a client's home I carefully follow the directions and preferences of the owner. I take notes and make sure to get things right. I and am always respectful of their privacy. And of course I send pictures and videos! In my own home, I have a doubly fenced property. A fence around the terrace keeps dogs in, and a fence around the 2-acre property keeps totally contained. With cats they would never go outside, at my home.

About: I cared for my own dog for 8 years, which gave me a strong foundation in daily routines, exercise, feeding, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs at different stages of life. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and reserved. I’m patient, calm, and detail-oriented, which helps pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very reliable and will follow your instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routines. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I recently graduated from UC San Diego and am currently back home while searching for my first full-time role, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I can easily accommodate different routines and timing needs. Whether your pet needs consistent daily care or more last-minute support, I’m happy to be flexible. Because of my availability, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and not rush visits, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent, since that helps them feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive during visits and make sure pets are safe at all times, including keeping doors and gates secure, watching for anything unusual in their behavior, and providing updates so you know how they’re doing. I’m also patient and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or anxious, I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I have grown up my whole life with big dogs in the house, and have been watching (and loving) dogs for around a decade. Whether walking and watching my own, neighbors, or family friends- I have gained a lot of experience over the years. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, dogs with disabilities, and puppies over the age of 11 months (including untrained). I have experience with overnight house-sitting for up to 4 animals at a time, and dogs with disabilities (as my eldest dog (Maverick) is blind in one eye). Back when I was in middle school I had two yellow labs: Barney & Zoey, and now have 2 yellow labs Maverick (13) & Indy (4). Since my family has always rescued our dogs, sometimes this can come with dogs from situations that have left them with lasting anxiety or behavioral issues. From this, I have learned so much in regards to building trust with dogs, respecting their boundaries, and establishing a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my free time I am a marathon runner, yoga sculpt instructor, and love to hike- so I am always super hyped for a long walk, and getting my steps in with a furry friend! I am super flexible on last minute bookings on weekends, and am available for drop-ins and house sittings when needed! Currently I am a full time student, but I have availability all weekends, MWF from 9-10am, 11-1pm, and all hours after 3:30pm and flexible on T/Th! I also am available in the early morning from 5-8am for a walk or drop-in for all days. Hi! My name is Mila, and I am a third year Undergraduate student in the Bay Area currently studying Economics and Real Estate at Santa Clara University. I am super flexible on means of transportation whether that be a trip to a dog park, a certain park/hike that is your dog's fav, or your own backyard! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or requests within the environment, allergies or preferences for your dogs- making sure they are happy and comfortable is always my priority! (:

We had Esmeralda visit and feed our two older cats while we were away, coming once a day. This was our first time with Esmeralda and we are happy with the results. She asked good questions during the meet and greet, and she left our home neat and tidy. I left pretty detailed instructions on feeding and garbage disposal and she followed them well. Our cats are very shy, so she did not have a lot of interaction with them. It looks like one of the cats let Esmeralda get near him towards the end of her visits. The one slight criticism I have is that while she checked off the jobs that she did during each visit she did not write a progress report, such as the cats ate all of their food, or Ray let me pet him.

Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!

Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with Shannon. She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. Not only she carefully followed all of our instructions, including administering medications and providing extra attention to some of our kitties when needed. She truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable, happy and healthy. Throughout our time away, Shannon was in regular contact with us and provided thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties. We could enjoy our trip knowing that someone really cared about our pets.
