About: I have supported my wife in watching animals on Rover but recently took the jump to make my own profile on Rover! I have professionally cared for dogs on Rover since 2017. From pet boarding in our home to house sitting in the homes of others, I have professionally cared for pups of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. My wife and I have two goldendoodles (8 and 6 years old). Growing up, my family has fostered many dogs and so I have experience with various breeds and pups with special needs. Currently I am taking classes to further my education and work a flexible schedule professionally reffing soccer games which are usually one to two hours in length. I live an active lifestyle but also love to have relaxing days depending on your dog’s needs. I understand how much trust goes into having someone else care for your furbaby let alone opening up your own home. I treat the home I come into with respect and follow any rules and cultural considerations for any homes I enter. I respect rules set by you and my main priority is to keep the dog(s) I am watching on their normal schedule until their humans are back home!
“I'm so grateful I found Kristin! My cats took to her right away. She was consistent and communicative. I loved getting pictures every day. She clearly loves animals. I was better able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cats were in great hands!”
“Mámoo is absolutely wonderful with Kato (my high-energy female husky). It’s easy to see the care and enthusiasm they bring to every visit. Kato gets excited as soon as she sees them. Mámoo plays, runs, and engages with her in a way that matches her energy. It’s clear they enjoy spending time together. I am confident Kato is in such loving hands and capable hands.”
“Elise did an amazing job taking care of my three kitties! They all loved her, and took to her right away even my shy cat Max! She made them feel calm and cared for, and I felt so secure knowing there were well taken care of. She gives clear, detailed updates and takes great photos. She also is responsible and organized. Thanks, Elise!!”
About: Passionate animal lover that is reliable and skilled in providing basic care and keeping pets active and comfortable. Comfortable caring for dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am working part-time but as of right now my schedule is flexible. I am usually free most of the day during both the week and weekends. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I can follow feeding schedules, take dogs on walks, provide playtime and companionship, administer basic care, and keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away.
About: Loving and responsible mamma dog, I have two rescued myself. They are a pitbull and a sheppard mix so I can definitely take care of big dogs. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Mornings and evenings walks during the week as I work during the day and I have full availability during the weekends to take care of them with walks and cuddles. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Love sending pictures while playing with them and taking care of them.
“Yu-Wen did a great job caring for our cats. Typically Yuki and Akira are shy and run from new people. My husband and I could tell from the first pictures Yu-Wen sent us, our girls were very comfortable and happy. You-Wen kept us well informed on how are girls were doing. We highly recommend him and we do plan to book him in the future.”
About: Ive had every animal under the sun growing up in a home that were animal lovers. There were dogs in my family before I was born and I have never not had two dogs or more in my life. My friends always know if they need a sitter and I’m not traveling they can rely on me. Anyone I ever dated I always stated they Must Love Dogs. Ive been lucky that to find my person who is that as well. Im working from home so can give them constant attention, regular walks in between meetings, playtime with our pups and an endless toy chest full of all kinds of great bark box toys since we have 3 subscriptions I have a large secluded complex with lots of running room and two dogs who are dogs best friend as well as man’s. We treat your dogs like our fur babies and we treat them like kids :)
“Kate did an excellent job taking care of my very anxious yorkie. Her updates after each visit were detailed and helped ease the stress of being away from my dog. He was so well taken care and that's because Kate has a very kind, caring and friendly personality. He took to her and she figured him out and was able to make him comfortable. I'll absolutely request Kate again. She was excellent.”
“Katie was absolutely AMAZING with Dakota! This is my first time using Rover & I didn't worry in the slightest while I was away, and it was all because of Katie! She went ABOVE & BEYOND knowing I was a bit nervous leaving him! I look forward to using Katie in the future! EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION & ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS SAFE & BEING WELL CARED FOR!”
About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!
“I had some chaotic things happening during Holly’s visit for my dog and she took care of everything! I’m super happy that I was able to book her on such short notice. And I love how well she took care of Cru!”
“Debbie went above and beyond watching our two fur babies. If Lupini & Truffle could leave 10/5 stars they would! She loved and cared for them like they were her own. We are so lucky to have found Debbie!”
“Brianna was absolutely incredible taking care of our two kittens during our first trip away from them! She was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We came home to two very happy kittens, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison provided great support for our elderly (16yr) mostly blind dog. She was friendly and patient with the slow moving and quirky pet. Allison was reliably on-time and provided the appropriate amount of communications for our situation.”
“Ariana took great care of my senior dog Chester, who has some special health issues. She is very caring, thoughtful, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to have Ariana care for Chester again!”
“Nasrin was great working with my small dogs while I was away. They loved her caring approach. She was also responsive and always sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. :)”

Debbie was friendly, easy going, and most importantly, experienced. She was a professional through and through. As I am sure any pet owner can appreciate, it’s a little scary leaving our fur babies behind but when someone goes out of their way to assure you that they will show them love and care, you hope and trust that they will do just that. Debbie sent me videos and photos literally twice a day, and provided a little extra attention to details like making sure my senior dog was able to get up on his favorite couch to watch passersby when it became obvious he was struggling at one point. I would highly recommend Debbie.
Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby
Sydney was lovely! She came the day before to meet birdie and familiarize herself with my place, which was greatly appreciated. Sydney sent me photos of birdie that made it obvious birdie loved her time with Sydney. I don’t trust many people with birdie, but I trust Sydney. I will definitely book again!
Nicole and Ryan were great with my dog Edie! I received updates and pics for every drop in and felt confident knowing my pup was in good hands while I was traveling. They had a conflict during one drop in time and needed to adjust the schedule and offered to come an extra visit later that day to make sure Edie was comfortable. During the meet and greet Nicole asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s preferences, personality, and schedule. I highly recommend and would gladly book with them in the future!
We had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca! She was always punctual, extremely communicative, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free for us throughout the week. Our dog had a natural affinity for her and was genuinely excited every time she arrived — which spoke volumes about the care and connection she provided. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such trusted, loving hands. We absolutely plan to use her again in the future and have 100% trust in her services. Highly recommend!
Pam was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs and behaviors. My dog loves people but lacks confidence when it comes to other dogs. She offered some tips and worked with my girl to build her confidence during their walks. Pam took great care of my pup and we’ll definitely be working with her again!
Thank you so much Virginia for taking care of Becky during your Thanksgiving holiday. We really appreciate you giving your time and care so to our dog so we could spend time with our family. Thank you for all the photos and check ins letting us know our Becky was well taken care of.
My cats and I absolutely love Sam! I am so thankful to have found someone who is so sweet and takes great care of my babies when I’m away. She is always so informative and keeps me updated on everything. She even offered to check in on my new kitty an extra time to make sure everything was okay which help put my mind at ease. You have no idea how much I appreciated that. Thank you for everything, you’re amazing!🤍
