“Sabina is awesome!!!! She was treating my puppy like one of her own and truly loved him for the time that she took cared of him. Very responsible and always thinks what’s the best for our pup!”
“Nessa was a huge help with checking in on our cat while we were out of town. She went above and beyond with communication and even helped out when our cat wasn’t feeling well. Thank you so much for everything. We will definitely be booking with Nessa again.”
About: Hi there! I grew up caring and raising for 5 dogs up until I went to college. During COVID my family and I adopted a Doberman/German Shepherd puppy from a rescue and I spent the next 2 years caring and training him before I moved back to SF. I adopted a Goldendoodle puppy, Barley, about 3 years ago. Raising a puppy on your own is not easy, but I've learned a lot! My own pup is anxious and takes time to warm up to strangers and other dogs. I've worked hard to combat his reactivity through training and am proud to say we have made lots of progress. I am truly a dog lover and deeply care for any dog that comes my way. Throughout my time with my own dogs, I have also looked after my family & friend's pups as well. I have a great understanding on how to care for dogs from their puppy stage, into their teens phase, then into their senior years. With my past experiences with many dogs, I feel well equipped to help take care of pups of all ages, sizes and behavioral quirks. I currently have a hybrid full-time work schedule! I am typically in the office on Tues/Thurs and am available in the evenings after work. I work from home on the other days. My personal schedule is very flexible so I am more than happy to chat through schedules to see what works for you and your pup! I will always suggest a meet and greet before confirming a booking to ensure that you and your pup are both comfortable with me! I will take detailed notes on how you'd like me to spend a drop-in visit or walk with your dog. Your dog's needs will be met and I will make sure they have some fun at the same time.
“Wei is such a caring and attentive sitter! She took care of our cat and sent amazing and cute pics of her, very dilligent in making sure her food, water and litterbox were all taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Tina was awesome. She was very proactive in communicating and sent pictures and an informative blurb everyday to let us know how the drop ins were going. Made a worrisome time (first time using a sitter) feel very natural and reliable. Thanks!”
“Brooke is an animal lover with a very calm demeanor. She has a wonderful sensibility when it comes to dogs — it shows she used to train them! Poppy loved her immediately. Brooke was thorough in her questions about routine, schedule etc. Brooke is responsible, communicative, and I will definitely be using her again to housesit Poppy and do drop in visits. I felt at ease leaving her in my home with Poppy.”
About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.
“Brendan is an amazing, responsible, and very honest and trustworthy person!! He is the person you want to have around to watch your cat! He plays with your cat, and tends to whatever else their needs might be, he did an excellent job with my cat and I would 11/10 ask him to come back again, both my cat and I loved Brendan!”
“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”
“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: Hellooo I’m Merci! 🌻 As a previous dog and cat owner (amongst other animals), I have significant experience with caring for them and would love to assist your family with your pet care needs! Open to regular schedules and occasional drop ins. I am currently in school to study hospitality management and this is my primary source of income at this time, therefore this is my priority. I will not take on more than two jobs at a time and I make sure that there are no scheduling conflicts. I look forward to assisting you!! 🌻 I’m currently in school and working part time. I like to go in walks throughout the day to help clear my mind, so walking dogs is no problem. For pet sitting, I’m open to the needs of the owners and pets. I follow routines already put in place or I can help to develop one to best serve the owners and pets. I’m ok with cleaning up after pets as long as I’m aware of where the cleaning materials are. I will use caution and ask for assistance if any special fabric, carpeting, or furniture has been affected.
“Noelani was great! She helped us out last minute taking care of our husky. She sent us pictures and would always respond right away. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you !”
“Allison was fantastic with our cat Harriet! We wanted Harriet to be kept company while we went on a trip, and she warmed up to Allison right away. Allison was punctual each visit, and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!”
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.
“K Zin is simply amazing! She was communicative, attentive, on time and she genuinely cared about our cat. We looked forward to reading the Rover cards and looking at the pictures she took every day. Will definitely book again!”
“Ronja was very communicative and took perfect care of my babies! She followed the instructions to a tee and is very on time and detailed. Thank you for the cute photos and taking care of them!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from short visits to nearly 2 months at a time, including watching two dogs simultaneously. Comfortable with multiple dogs at once and experienced with longer stays I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for most services and can work around whatever routine works best for you and your pet I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable and at ease. I have a cat at home so I’m experienced with pets in a home setting. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Overnight stays are available up to 3 days at my place
“Rachel took great care of our cat, Ellie. She was punctual, communicative, and a lovely person overall! Ellie seems to be a big fan of her as well, as the photos we received showed her enjoying cuddles and playing :) We will definitely reach out to her again next time we leave town.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by pets, I've always had a deep connection with animals — they've always been part of my family. Over the years, I’ve rescued many animals, worked as a cat socializer at the SPCA, and have continued to dedicate my time and heart to making pets feel loved, safe, and happy. I've had the joy of caring for many dogs in my home, giving each one lots of love, attention, and a safe, comfortable place to stay—both inside and outside in my private, fully fenced backyard with a spacious real grass lawn for supervised play. I book only 1 dog per day for Daycare and Boarding to ensure your loved ones gets the space and attention they need and deserve in a calm environment. I'm located in the beautiful Outer Sunset, where there are plenty of dog-friendly trails, parks, and beach spots to explore. I love spending time walking and playing with dogs. I always give my companion my fullest attention and ensure they are getting the exercise and enrichment they need. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk or prefers a slow, sniff-filled stroll, I always cater the pace and route to match their unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it's daily walks, boarding, or drop-ins, I provide the same love and care as I would my own furry family members. If you're looking for someone experienced, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals — I’d love to meet you and your pet! I am very flexible both during the week and on weekends. I would love to hear about your specific needs so please reach out to me. I have a large, private, and fully-fenced in backyard for supervised play. My backyard yard features a real grass lawn, trees with a shaded area, and a large deck with plenty of sun for relaxing. I also have multiple indoor spaces for lounging and comfort. My home is smoke-free. If your pet is looking for a comfortable and safe environment full of love and attention - this is it!

Michelle is great! Did a fantastic job watching over our cat Moza with daily visits while we were away for the longest time we had been away from her. Michelle followed all care instructions great and we received daily updates and pics. Really cared for our cat and went above and beyond in communication and play time. Would highly recommend! Thanks very much!
I recently just moved to the Bay Area and I had to take a trip shortly after, so I got in contact with Shailyng. One of my cats has had health issues in the past related to moving, so I was worried that this would be an issue again. Having Shailyng come over daily and give me an update on their health and wellbeing was a huge reassurance and relief during my trip. Even though they were hiding during their visits she would keep me updated very closely and even worked with my landlord to make sure they were okay.
This was only our second time having Ronja stay with our pups and it truly is like she has been their friend forever with the greetings she gets on arrival. They’re clearly very comfortable around her and are finally able to relax when we are not at home! Thankful for the updates during her stay and her flexibility and kindness in accommodating some timing changes :)
Seng went above and beyond my expectations. I scheduled her to drop in twice a day for my two cats and she showed up on time and was very communicative. She played with and gave them both lots of love despite their different personalities. She genuinely loved them like her own. They were fed, freshly watered, loved on. She even went so far as to do extra chores like water my plants, keep the house tidy, and groom the cats without being asked. She sent lots of photos and videos. They almost seemed disappointed to see me when I came home because she gave them so much attention. Loved working with Seng. I highly highly recommend her as a cat sitter!!
Martha did an incredible job being a dog chaperone for Charlie during our civil marriage ceremony in SF City Hall! We were just doing the quick ceremony then photos for a couple of hours ahead of our bigger international wedding later, but we really wanted Charlie to be involved while not being a distraction to us, the photographer, the officiant, or the few guests we had coming from across the country. Martha did an amazing job keeping Charlie entertained, and she was great at reading the room and knowing when to be close by with Charlie or step away a bit if Charlie seemed to be getting antsy or bored. I didn’t give her any instructions really (definitely could’ve planned better on my part!) yet the whole experience felt smooth because Martha was very attentive to both Charlie’s needs and moods and the overall situation. While Charlie is a huge people person, he can definitely get grumpy and bored being in the same place doing nothing, but Martha kept him in such a good mood that he was smiling and cooperative any time we needed him for pictures. She also took some amazing solo shots of Charlie, which we will treasure forever!
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.
Brooke is an animal lover with a very calm demeanor. She has a wonderful sensibility when it comes to dogs — it shows she used to train them! Poppy loved her immediately. Brooke was thorough in her questions about routine, schedule etc. Brooke is responsible, communicative, and I will definitely be using her again to housesit Poppy and do drop in visits. I felt at ease leaving her in my home with Poppy.
Dana did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Ralphie! She was friendly and professional during our meet and greet, and Ralphie instantly warmed to her. While we were gone, she was reliable and communicative, always sending thorough updates and lots of great pictures. We will definitely try to book her again when we leave town in the future — can’t recommend her highly enough!
