“We have used Elena twice now, each time for 10 days drop-ins to primarily feed our dogs. She communicates well and very reliable. I feel at ease when we were away that our fur babies have been fed. Highly recommend Elena!”
“Melody and her mom were amazing! Professional and conscientious from our very first meeting. We came home to happy cats and a clean, litter free floor. Melody kept us updated with pictures and information about each visit every day. I'm rebooking her for our next trip right now!”

“Veronica was absolutely stellar with Mays, our Australian Cattle Dog! She watched Mays for six days, visiting him 3-4 times each day as requested. She kept us informed of everything that went on via photos, walking map, and a lovely description of how her time with Mays went. She followed our instructions to the letter, and asked questions if she had any. Mays was so happy to stay home and have his visits with Veronica! We really appreciated her and would definitely use her again!”


“Our dog Mochi had a great time with Alexis! Alexis was able to drop in to check on Mochi and took her for a walk. She looked really happy from the pictures we got! We would definitely use Alexis again :)”

About: Hello! I’m Olivia. I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with family dogs starting when I was in kindergarten. In the summer 2023, I adopted my own cat, which made me appreciate even more how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets. I work part-time and am a college student, however I can always make time for lovely animals! Even with a busier schedule, I am still able to: * Overnight pet and house sit * Walk your dogs * Daily drop-in visits/check-ins * Keep up with feeding routines and fresh water * Litter box cleaning and basic cleanup * Give lots of attention, playtime, and companionship I am willing to discuss and bargain on prices, and we can discuss my availability further as well! Don’t be shy to message and let me know what you’re looking for. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I try to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I’m happy to adapt to what they need. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
About: Hi there! I’m Cameron. I’m a university lecturer currently on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open and I’m looking to spend that extra time offering dog walking and drop-in visits around the area. You can book my services for any day of the week between 11am and 10pm. I accept bookings at least 3 days in advance and ask that you notify me about cancelling at least 1 day before. I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have experience with everything from 100lb Rottweilers and Akitas to tiny Chihuahuas. Because I’m a Stanford PhD, I tend to be very detail-oriented when it comes to following care instructions, but my actual "vibe" is very low-key and disarming. I know some pups can be a little nervous around men, so I specialize in a patient, "slow-introduction" approach to make sure they feel totally relaxed and safe with me. Since I’m on break, I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends. I have my own car and can easily come to you for: Senior Care & Enrichment: I’ve spent the last decade caring for my own 12-year-old rescue Golden Retriever mix, so I’m very comfortable with senior needs. Medical Support: I am experienced in administering oral medications and keeping a close eye on health or mobility shifts. Active Adventures: Whether it’s a high-energy game of tug, a "sniff-oriented" stroll, or a focused walk to get the zoomies out, I’m happy to match your dog's pace. Reliable Check-ins: I pride myself on being punctual with meals, fresh water, and bathroom breaks. I’m new to Rover but definitely not new to dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for friends and family, and I’m excited to meet some new four-legged neighbors. I’ll always send plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (or how much relaxing) your pup is having! As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is very open and flexible. I have full availability throughout the day, evenings, and weekends between 11am and 10pm, allowing me to provide consistent care and companionship when your dog needs it most. I live in Union City and have my own reliable transportation, so I can easily travel to your home anywhere in the area. Because I am not tied to a typical 9-to-5 office routine, I can offer your pet more than just a quick check-in—I am available for extended walks, midday play sessions, or simply staying present to keep a senior dog or anxious pup company (~30 minutes, if needed). Whether you need a regular weekday routine or last-minute weekend help, I can easily integrate your pet’s needs into my day. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. As a longtime rescue owner and university professional, I treat every pet with the same vigilance and care I give my own. In Your Home & On Walks: I am a respectful guest and a focused handler. I provide my own reliable transportation and come prepared with spare leashes and waste bags. During walks, I am hyper-aware of surroundings to ensure a safe, stress-free experience. In My Home: My environment is fully pet-proofed and secure, featuring a fenced-in yard with no environmental risks. Because of my flexible summer schedule, your dog will enjoy constant supervision and a calm, climate-controlled space to relax. Trust & Communication: I strictly follow all care instructions—from meal timings to medication—and provide regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.
“Jen has watched our cats a couple of times now, and we trust her completely. Even for quick drop-in visits, she’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Each of our cats has a different personality, and Jen is attentive to all of them making sure everyone is fed, safe, and getting individual attention. We came home to relaxed, well cared for cats and a clean space, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

About: I've loved animals of all kinds since I was little! I have had turtles, tortoises, bunnies, a chinchilla, and Pascal, the love-of-my-life golden mutt. I was privileged to spend more than 15 amazing years with him and learned about all stages of dog life, including elderly/special needs care. I've also helped friends and family take care of their pets - mostly dogs - when they were away! I work full-time, but loving on animals is the best way to relieve stress at the end of the day and on weekends! I also have Mondays off to spoil your pet! Let me know how to keep your pet safe and happy! Favorite games, toys, treats, walking spots? Is he shy, social? Loves a butt rub? An active fetch sesh? A cozy cuddle? Look no further!
About: Growing up , I was always surrounded by dogs, and their companionship became a constant source of joy and learning. I've had a female Shih Tzu at home for 12 years, and our bond is a true testament to the love and trust that dogs offer. Caring for her, especially as she grows older, has taught me the value of patience, empathy, and unconditional love—qualities that I carry with me in all aspects of life. Over the years, my experiences with dogs—both as a pet owner and a caretaker—have equipped me with a deep understanding of their needs, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I believe in creating a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment for pets, and I take the time to ensure that each dog feels loved and cared for, whether it’s through playtime, walks, or simply giving them attention and affection. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong bond with dogs and my ability to adapt to their unique needs at different stages of life. I’m particularly skilled in handling senior dogs and providing them with the gentle care they need. Additionally, I have experience training puppies, teaching them basic commands, and helping with housebreaking. Whether your dog needs a little extra care or a playful buddy, I’m here to provide a warm and welcoming environment, just like home. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give my full attention to both my dog and any additional pets in my care. I can easily incorporate regular walks, playtime, and feeding into my daily routine, ensuring every dog gets the love and care they need. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm always available to provide a comfortable, home-like environment. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to roam. We have a fenced yard where dogs can play and relax, and our neighborhood is calm and secure, perfect for easy, stress-free walks. Plus, there's a park nearby where I can take dogs for extra exercise and fun. Whether at home or on a walk, I ensure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for throughout their stay.

“I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care and attention to detail Desiree provided for my baby! She was prompt with her arrivals and made sure to keep me up to date with the day to day activities of my pup. They went on incredible adventures I know my Winnie will never forget. Thank you Desiree for creating an unforgettable first experience for both of us. I fear no other pet sitter will be able to compare! 😭”

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.
About: I grew up with pets my whole life including 4 dogs, 9 cats, to small animals such as hamsters, fish, and turtles. I have a certification in dog training so if there's any issues with your pup, I can also help you with it during your dog's stay! Fur babies is my whole world and I've dedicated myself to them for my life. I love all of them and will provide them with the best care that I can! Can't wait to meet your furmaliy member! I work full time in a office so the only time I'm available will be weekends. Saturday and Sunday available all day and accept same day booking. Kiddie pool provided in the summer for dogs who loves water and wants to cool down. Dogs will have play time with my dog indoor/outdoor that's closely supervised.
“Aixia is wonderful with our two cats- 9 and 10 years old. One of them is extremely shy and timid— and he was out greeting and playing with her so quickly we could hardly believe it! She took extra care in all the ways and sent such good photos and updates that we had complete peace of mind while away. Thank you so much for loving our babies the same as we do!”
“Songcheng is a kind person who is reliable, trustworthy and detail oriented. He took excellent care of my cat and I am very glad to give him a strong, positive recommendation!”

“Myat was very helpful and got both of my super shy cats out and playing. Each visit I got tons of informative photos documenting that the cats were fed, water refilled, litter cleaned, etc. Myat remembered to check each item I had mentioned even if I hadn’t written it in the Rover description. It was very easy to give and collect the keys. I would definitely recommend Myat to look after cats and probably all other types of animals.”

Lakes And Birds pet parents share their Rover experiences
Melody and her mom were amazing! Professional and conscientious from our very first meeting. We came home to happy cats and a clean, litter free floor. Melody kept us updated with pictures and information about each visit every day. I'm rebooking her for our next trip right now!

You are THE BEST, Aixia! The cats love you - and we love how good you are with them, how thoughtful you are with everything, and how generous you are with sharing photos and notes with us on your visits. Hearing from you is always a highlight of our days away from home. Thank you SO MUCH 🧡
Mila is very sweet, punctual, and flexible to work with. My cats went straight to her during our meet-and-greet, which I had never seen them do with a stranger before. She is a great communicator and took tons of pictures and videos during her visits. My older cat has a history of UTIs, and my other cat occasionally has loose stools, so Mila carefully reported the quality of their pee and poop in the litter box each time. When the weather was warm, she made sure the temperature in the house was comfortable. She has great attention to detail, and my cats love her! Highly recommended!

Minjee was wonderful and provided excellent care to my two cats 😸😸 I really appreciated the detailed reports about daily activity and bowel movements, I was able to relax knowing Minjee was keeping a close eye on my beloved cats! Thank you very much Minjee 😸😻😸😻

Excellent, highly recommended. We have just returned home and found our cats to be well taken care of by Myat. She was very detailed, thorough in her communication and followed all the instructions during her drop in visits. We have 3 cats and one of them has anxiety issues and leading to accidents. No issues indicating they bonded well with Myat. Definitely asking for her services next time.

Nicole has been absolutely amazing with my new shelter puppy. She helped make the transition into our home so much smoother and gave me real peace of mind during those first important days. She is extremely communicative and always provides thoughtful updates and helpful feedback. The pictures she sends are great and truly capture how happy my puppy is in her care. She is very trustworthy, dependable, and it clearly shows that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She often goes above and beyond, which I truly appreciate. I will definitely be using her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care for their puppy.
This was my first time using Rover and after meet and greets, I chose RJ to come care for my dog, Wyatt. RJ’s communication and pet sitting care are superb. Wyatt is a special needs dog because of his elbow dysplasia, so he needs specific care. RJ followed my instructions and he asked relevant questions when in doubt. He took pictures and videos which gave me assurance that all was well while I was gone and that Wyatt was happy. I will definitely reschedule RJ to care for Wyatt again. Thank you, RJ!

Brianna was outstanding to my pups! She stopped by to feed them when I was working late multiple nights. She played with them and gave them their food with no issues. She also fed our kitty! Brianna even brought in our packages when we weren't home, so kind of her! Highly recommend her for drop ins or stays with your animals.
