About: As a pet caregiver for over a decade, you can be sure that your best friend is in safe care. I grew up with dogs and started providing pet care professionally in 2015. In addition to taking care of only-child canines, I offer services to multi-dog and multi-species households. I have experience caring for cats, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. What you can expect from me as a sitter: - Loving companionship for your animal and clear communication with you. - Daily photo/video updates! - Meals, walks, play, and medications administered according to your dog’s regular schedule. My goal is to make sure your dog feels completely comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Our canine companions are such important parts of our lives, so it is vital that your sitter/walker is as passionate about the health and happiness of your best friend as you are. Can't wait to meet you and your dog, and forge a relationship centered around the wellbeing of your beloved companion! I am self employed as an artist, so my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available for overnight sitting and daytime check-ins and walks any day of the week with a few days advanced notice. I care for clients’ dogs in their homes according to my clients’ instructions, which we’ll go over during our meet and greet. I’d love to know ahead of time if your dog has any special talents like escape artistry, opening trash cans, or jumping onto the kitchen counter and scarfing down an entire loaf of bread in under 10 seconds (real story). Please also share if there are off-limits areas for your dog, either inside or outside your home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on my grandparents' farm, I developed a deep love and understanding for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I've also cared for two of the most unique dog breeds— a Chihuahua named AJ and a Chinese Shar-Pei named Roxie—both known for their distinct personalities. Additionally, I’ve had the pleasure of dog-sitting for two friends here in the Bay Area: a Golden Doodle named Riley and a Lab-Boxer mix named Uno. I truly enjoyed these experiences, which gave me the confidence to expand my pet care services through Rover. With plenty of patience and a genuine affection for animals, I’ll treat your pet like my own and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, operating on East Coast hours. This allows me to be available most afternoons, evenings, and early mornings on days when I don't have meetings. I’ll keep my schedule updated weekly to avoid double bookings. In my downtime, I love getting outside for walks— and I’d be thrilled to have the company of a new furry friend! As a dedicated and loving pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for your pet in the comfort of your home, my priority is to create a familiar, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet's routine to ensure they feel secure, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles. I am attentive to your pet's needs and always keep them engaged and happy while respecting your home and boundaries. You can trust that your pet will receive the same care, affection, and attention that I would give to my own animals.

About: ***IMMEDIATE JACK LONDON SQ ONLY FOR WALKS/DROP-INS PLEASE *** Trust is everything, especially when it comes to caring for our pups! I believe ALL dogs are stars with their own unique "genre" (Punk, EDM, R&B, Rock, Pop, easy listening) and let's face it, this is how they crack us up on a daily basis! I believe positive reinforcement, but also Cesar's Way (exercise, discipline, affection) and include lots of playfulness in the process (solo or with my pup - your preference). I enjoy assisting in ongoing training (how to improve walking on a leash, how to look good for their "Dogs playing poker" portrait, etc) while in my care. Whether it be for a brief stay or a brisk walk (A tired dog is a happy dog!) I can't wait to meet your fluffy family member and help ease your mind while you are away from them. I have worked with dogs that may be fearful or have anxiety (many often confuse with being "aggressive" when this is not the case). Being attentive on our walks at all times is paramount...I'm not one who focuses on looking at my phone constantly (unless I'm taking pics of our walk to send to you!) while letting your pup pick up or eat something they shouldn't. Many thanks! I currently work from home and have flexibility to work with local dogs for walks/drop-ins in the Jack London Square area and boarding (near or far). I have a large fenced patio and is easy to monitor the fur monsters if they want to enjoy the outdoors a bit during their day.

Chelsea is really the best. We had never used this type of service before but she made sure we felt comfortable even before booking. She set up a meet and greet to get to know us and our cat, she was so sweet and asked us everything she needed to know and she took notes on things we considered important. She made sure to keep us updated on behavior and sent us pictures and a detailed report after each visit. We felt so comfortable knowing that our fur baby was happy while we were away in another country. She went above and beyond and all the little extra attention to detail and going the extra mile was the cherry on top of her amazing service. She definitely made sure to take care of our fur baby like it was her own as noted on her description. We will for sure be booking with her again when needed. Thank you Chelsea! ?

About: Growing up in a dog-loving household, I developed a deep connection with canines from an early age. My proudest experience was raising my own corgi from puppyhood, learning all aspects of responsible pet ownership. This hands-on experience taught me everything from training and grooming to understanding unique breed characteristics. Combined with helping care for my parents' dogs, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of dog behavior, daily care routines, and the importance of consistent, loving attention. As a student with a flexible schedule, I'm available consistently on weekends and most weekday afternoons. I carefully plan my pet care commitments around my classes to ensure dedicated, unrushed time with each pet. I can provide morning walks, midday check-ins, and extended playtime sessions, always prioritizing the pets' routines and needs. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions meticulously and maintain regular updates through photos and messages. I ensure all doors are secured, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets on their regular feeding and exercise schedules. I also have pet first-aid knowledge for added peace of mind.

About: Dedicated and reliable sitter who will love your pet as much as you love them. Fun Fact: in Oregon, I used to house sit on a farm and take care of a dog, goats and chickens! I currently work a part time job in the afternoons evenings. For drop in visits- I’ll be available in the mornings from 7am-12pm Monday through Wednesday, Saturdays after 1pm & Thursdays Fridays & Sundays I’m available all day. For sitting- I’m available Monday - Sunday but I’ll be away when I’m working in the afternoon/evenings. I will respect your pet’s boundaries and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. If they like being cuddled, we’ll cuddle, if they prefer to keep a distance, we’ll do that!

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family in the past 2 years and I’ve loved the experience. Happy to provide references and chat more about my experience. My best friend lives on my floor and we take walks with his dog every morning and evening so it’s very well incorporated in my schedule I make my place conducive for pets since I have one visit often. No cords laying around, vacuumed floors and room temperature thermostat. This also applies to client apartments

Ann is an excellent pet caretaker. Between July 1st and July 4th, I dropped off my 2-yr old labradoodle dog with her. During the stay, she feed my dog twice a day as requested. She took her on long casual walks at least once a day and she sent me a few pictures of my dog while they were out on the walks -- my dog was clearly very happy and content. She was very attentive to my dog. My dog was clean and looked quite happy when I arrived to pick her up. I highly value and recommend Ann's pet caregiving services.

I relied on Greg to provide a safe and affectionate environment for almost two years before I moved to Southern California. My pup, Frankie, came from the shelter with a fear of men which made finding a pet sitter a challenge. I once asked my male neighbor to walk my dog as a favor, and he was afraid that my nutty little Spaniel was going to bite him! In contrast, Frankie never ever feared Greg, and that gave me peace of mind when I dropped him off. Greg was also cognizant of Frankie's sensitivities and took care to not expose him to fearful situations unnecessarily. Frankie loved going to Greg's -- even saying Greg's name around the house elicited ear perking and head tilting. Greg's dog, Theo, is a big lovebug and played well with Frankie, too. Greg is a dog lover of all sizes and will care for your fur baby like family. I never had to worry that my fur baby was going to miss his meals, his medication, or come home dirty or traumatized. If you are looking for a reliable and caring dog caregiver, I highly recommend Greg without any reservations.

Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.

Our dog goes crazy when Annika comes over. She is so excited to see her. Whenever asked to come watch our dog, she would happily do so. Annika would take her hiking, or go for walks, bring her treats, and even spend time snuggling with her. Our dog was definitely spoiled by Annika. We felt our dog was well taken card of while we were away and did not have to worry about her because she was in capable hands.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chukwuebeuka for many years, but a side he never exposed to me was his love for pets. I recently adopted a pup in March 2025 and Chukwuebuka has been so supportive in my time as a new dog dad. With his prior experience being a dogsitter/dogwalker, he has the compassion that pets crave for. He is caring, loving, and generous to my pup, Tino. I am happy to hear he wants to spread this joy to other pets and I can't think of anyone better who would give peace of mind when looking after your furry friend.

She has great animal energy, and the fact that my cat went for a walk with her, says it all! She went above and beyond - and we are so happy with her care , communication and commitment to our pets ! We will most definable book her again ;)

Jen is a very sweet sitter. She took great care of my two cats and left plenty of photos and notes in the app for us after her drop-ins. I would definitely hire her again!

Artemis was fantastic with my cat and all her little quirks as always! Theda is always happy to see Artemis and I am always happy to get home to a happy cat and tidy eating and litter box areas!

You won't go wrong with Diana as your petsitter. She was in great communication whenever she or I needed to check in, and she was consistent about posting pictures and comments when she was at the drop-in visits. It seems like a small thing, but it's such a comfort to SEE Simba, my 18-year-old orange tabby, when I'm away. Also, I give special kudos and thanks to Diana for dealing with an unwelcome ant visit during the sit, too! She handled it all fantastically, and I heartily recommend her for your petsitting needs, too.

Kathy is a gem of a cat sitter!!! I’m so glad I found them for my cat Sashimi because they’re a real cat person and it shows in the questions they asked, and the care and attention they gave. Kathy oversees 5 cats at home so they really understand the language and needs. Mine is senior and diabetic and requires insulin twice a day and Kathy did it like a champ,wrote full reviews of the visit, and sent cute pics too! I didn’t realize how much photos of the fur baby would mean but it is super nice to see them when you’re away. I can totally tell by the photos that Sashimi was fine. She even watered my plants which is nice. Thank you Kathy for your time and Sashimi thanks you too!

Jiayi was great with our cat, Truffle. She left a detailed write up of the visit and spent a lot of time playing with our cat while we were away. She is very natural with animals and we would definitely recommend booking her!

Mar is an excellent communicator and my dogs love them! They were very easy to coordinate with, responded promptly to my messages, and sent detailed updates during their visits. They even stayed a little longer than planned to comfort my dogs when they got scared by a neighbor’s fireworks! Will definitely be booking with them again and cannot recommend them highly enough.

My boys loved Cameron! He was great at communicating and sent lovely pics of them during each drop in. This was my first Rover experience and I’m so glad it was with Cam, I’m so excited to book him again!
