House Sitting Laurel

“Michelle went above and beyond spending extra time with our pup be it playing with him or walking him. She's also very communicative and takes great pics. Would absolutely book her again!”

Irene Y.

“We love Emmy! She is the absolute sweetest, and our pup just adores her. She is kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and we never worry for a second when our dog is with her. We will 100% ask Emmy to watch our girl in the future and couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”

About: My name is Vivian, I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7, and I have efficient experience with petting and playing with them. I always build up strong trust and a connection with them. I am currently WFH as a full time financial advisor, but I have plenty of time to walk dogs during the week days. I am also available full days on weekends. I am surrounded by a community of dog lovers. I also have a white Great Pyrenees in my house. Just let me know your needs, and I will make sure to satisfy them to the best of my ability.

“It was a pleasure having Sam watch our pups and would love to have her back! She was great about sending daily photo updates and confirming if our dogs’ quirks were normal/expected.”

“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”

About: Hi folks, I’m Hannah. My pets are a part of my chosen family. They each have their own quirks, preferences, attitudes, and personalities. I’d be honored to bring your furry family member into our lives! I’ve had many different pets over the last 20 years: parakeets (Lucy and Ricky), gerbils (Louis and Clark), dogs (Lilly, Iggy, Olive, Stella, Dexter, Pearl), and cats (Charlie, Baby Boy). We love to walk and hike throughout the bay area, run the beach, teach tricks, sunbathe in the yard, play with the very many (too many!) toys strewn about our house, and cuddle in front of the fire pit. I’d love to know more about your pet to ensure they are safe and happy and that I’m providing the best kind of care catered to them. Are they shy? Friendly? Aloof? Nervous? Mischievous? Do they need a little more love to make sure they are comfortable? How many daily walks is ideal for their energy level? Do they get specific meals and meds to protect their health? Do they have a history of reactivity? Favorite spot for scritches? Etc. I’m also happy to provide specific care based on their needs, senior pups and cats welcome! Thanks so much for reading 💕🐾 We live in San Mateo and I’m currently working part time in San Francisco on M/W/F mornings so I have a flexible schedule to care for your furry family. I am also open to working out a pick up and drop off schedule if that is something you’re interested in. We have a lovely fenced yard for our pups to run around and frolic in, as well as a doggy door so they can go out at their leisure. I like to take my dog on 2 walks a day (gotta check their pee-mails!) and there is a dog park within walking distance of our house should your pup prefer to run around freely. I do not crate my dog, so if that is in your routine, please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Above all I believe fresh air, engagement, and enrichment creates the happiest environment for our pets. I’d love to welcome yours into our family ❤️

“Melanie was an excellent caregiver for Ollie. She embraced his quirks, gave him medications, took him on walks and communicated well, putting me at ease during a two week overseas travel. She also took good care of our home. Thank you Melanie!”

“Jacqueline watched our pup for the weekend at our house. Communication was great, the house was left clean, and our dog was happy and well-exercised when we got home. We’d recommend her as a sitter and would happily book her again!”

About: While I've loved and cared for my own Pit Bulls and Beagle, 4 years experience living with a Bull Terrier has prepared me for so much with our furry besties! Keeping to schedule is very important, and for their comfort I will definitely give them time to adjust while I'm caring for them. I'll cuddle if they like, and leave them be if that's their preference. Most recent experience with animal care was for my senior dog during incontinence & weakening hips/hind legs. And the younger dog was hit be a car, so he was also a patient to assist and carry for almost everythinghe did. And I'd do it all over in a heartbeat just to be with them again! (My dogs ate twice daily and vocalized his need for breakfast at the same time that he needs to relieve himself. In order to prevent accidents in the house, I make sure to respond to their barks and pacing around me or near the door. To prevent my energetic dogs from uncontrollable zoomies, regular walks satisfy their momentum while giving time for obedience and awareness in public.) I like to find out what makes our pets feel safe and loved, because who wants to be stuck in an awkward situation? I'll acknowledge that spontaneous throw up, poop, and urine are all natural accidents that can be cleaned without shame. I don't tell at or get pushy with your animals, I will be patient & show them patience.

“Zarina was a great communicator. She took great care of our puppy and spent quality time with her. Our puppy was happy and had all her needs met when we got home. We’ll definitely request Zarina’s help again for our pup.”

My home is pet-friendly with a large, secure backyard where your pup can play and feel safe! 🏡 I also love providing dogs with socialization and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged! 🎾 Just a quick note—while I encourage social interactions, this isn’t a substitute for formal socialization training if your pup needs it. Can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! 🐾 I’m super clean and detail-oriented, which means your furry friend will be in a safe, well-maintained, and hazard-free home at all times. A tidy, organized space isn’t just for me—it ensures pups stay happy, comfortable, and out of harm’s way! 🐕‍🦺 - Walks, walks, and more walks!

Pups tend to feel more comfortable in the crate they were trained in, and so I want to make their stay as stress-free as possible. 🐶 Because I pay close attention to every detail, you can rest easy knowing your pup’s routine will be followed with care, any issues or possible concerns reported to you, all in a safe, spotless, and welcoming home. 🐾

About: I don’t have problem taking caredogs. My friends and family used to relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time and it’s manageable, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups I’m available boarding especially weekdays 7am onwards. My place is a free space for one dog at time especially to trained dog I dont do much restriction so dog can move and play around, I live close to lake in foster city and its so easy access to walk the dog any time in a day.

About: Hi, I currently have a 5 year old English Bulldog who I love to pieces. He is my buddy and such a mama's boy. Growing up my family has always had a dog in our home. I had a husky/malamute mix while I was in highschool and she had a littler of puppies so that helps with my puppy experience. Im comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I love animals. I'll play with your dog and take him/her on walks, make sure he is has water, and lots of love and attention while you are working or out of town. I believe that dogs are members of the family and should be treated so. I'm thankful for the love and companionship that they show you. Our dogs are a part of our family. Your dog will have play time all day and go on at least 4 walk a day. Thank you! I work very early mornings and close by, so I am able to balance dog boarding and working at the same time. I’m very flexible. Your dog/dogs will become a part of my family and be treated like my own. They get the same treatment as mine, sleeping on the couch is ok in my house :)

About: Hi! My name is Florence based in Burlingame and I am excited to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐈‍⬛🐾 I am a proud cat parent I have a 9 month old void named Kima. I have a lot of experience with dogs as well, my family has a 4 year old poodle and I was constantly dog sitting him when I still lived at home. I am approaching a year here on Rover and have experience with dog walks and drop in visits for both dogs and cats. Currently taking clients for drop in visits and dog walks. Let me know if you have any questions would be happy to answer them. My schedule is always consistent and I currently work part time at Kaiser when I am not pet sitting. I am not available on Mondays but can do morning and lunch time walks throughout the rest of the week! I'm always mindful of my surroundings during walks, paying close attention to leash length, nearby animals, and the environment. At home, I stay attentive to your pet’s behavior and will treat every pet with care, patience, and respect for their unique needs and routines.

“Hope pet sat our three dogs and two cats while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable with her house sitting. All the pets loved her too!”

Natalie M.

“Caroline took amazing care of our two fur babies! I appreciated her daily updates and pictures while we were away. When we arrived back home, our house was clean and our animals were very happy. Would definitely book Caroline again to watch our pets again!”

About: Hello! New boarding clients: shorter stays are preferred, especially during the work week. Before I jump into things about me - while I would love to hang out with all of the dogs forever, I prefer shorter stays, especially during the work week, and longer stays are OK but preferably over the weekend. The higher energy pups during the work week will have me fetch hostage, taking meetings from my bedroom floor 🥲 you are still more than welcome to message me about a longer stay, but please understand why I may not be available. I am also *very allergic* to cats. Drop ins with them may be OK, but I won't be able to stay with them, lest we want me to suffocate 😆 the other problem is I can't resist touching them, but I acknowledge that's a me problem so it's sometimes best to remove temptation entirely. I have been a dog owner for the last 11 years. I’ve owned a pomeranian, a senior lab mix, and within the last year my family brought in a weiner dog. Ages and health requirements have varied. I just lost my 11 year old pomeranian to bladder cancer in July 2023. The last year of his life was spent taking him to chemo treatments, giving him several daily medications, treating daily symptoms, many sleepless nights and 3am walks, and so much more, but I wouldn’t change the last year with him for anything in the world. I absolutely love dogs and am joining Rover because I miss having a dog but am nowhere near ready to love like that again, but I’d love to care for your dog! My old pom man went almost everywhere with me; hikes through the redwoods, 3 hour long walks, 3 hour long bench sitting / people watching, the beach, Alice's restaurant, crepe vine A little bit about me: I work in Operations at a law firm in San Leandro and live in Foster City. I’ve been in clean tech since 2011, and you can find me on LinkedIn if you would like additional information about my work history. You can expect many pictures of your pup out and about with me 😁 and if I'm lucky, maybe a pic or two of us wearing cowboy hats I have a hybrid work set up, where I can work from home or work from the office at my own discretion and schedule. I can accommodate pet care throughout the day and evening depending on your pet's needs. My office is also pet friendly, depending on doggy behavior. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Foster City, 2 blocks away from a park. Your dog would have access to my whole apartment (unless your dog is used to it, I prefer not to enforce crating or separate rooms for them). I also have a sliding glass dog door that leads to a balcony. My senior dog used to use puppy pads on our balcony throughout the evening as his bladder tumor grew, so if your dog requires something similar that's perfectly fine.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and families in my community. I’ve provided overnight and extended pet sitting, including caring for pets in their own homes while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following individual routines, feeding, walking dogs, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention . I always make sure the pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have an on-call job, so my schedule can be flexible depending on when I’m needed for work. There are times when I’m available all day, and if I am scheduled to work, I’m typically done by around 4 PM the latest. I’m able to plan ahead each week and communicate my availability clearly, and I’ll always make sure I can give your pets the care and attention they need. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar to them. I’m respectful of your home and understand that being trusted with someone’s pets and space is a big responsibility. I keep things clean and tidy, follow instructions carefully, and communicate with owners frequently so they know how their pets are doing for that extra peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of different types of dogs at my house. I have experiences with walking small medium and large dogs. I have also experience with special needs dogs. And I have experience with going to the pet’s house. Im currently only working with pet care. I can walk dogs any days of the week/weekend. And boarding is also available any days, especially weekends. I have a little dog to be a company to your fur baby. I’m really careful about following the dog’s usual routine. I am really careful about going out with the dogs, I make sure they’re secure, so they don’t get lost.

“Friendly, sweet, and great with my dogs. She followed all instructions and took very good care of them. Easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with — I’d happily book her again”
