“Emily was AMAZING with our two dogs! Señor and Benji were not only properly cared for, but were loved and given lots of attention while we’re were away. Emily took care of our dogs and our home for 5 days and we cannot say enough about how happy we are with her! She sent pics of the dogs and even let our crazy chihuahua steal her blanket when he had 4 of his own! What a kind person, we feel so lucky to have met her through Rover and will definitely have her back when we need the boys to be cared for again!!”
About: I love to give all furry friends love, attention, and time to just play or go on a walk. I have been caring for dogs and cats for 18 years and it has been such a joy and a very rewarding experience in my life. I have a lot of love, patience and compassion for animals and animal lovers. Caring for someone else’s dog or cat is a privilege. I know that if I wanted someone to care for my dogs or cats I would want the very best for them and the very best is giving them playtime, exercise, food, water, and for some belly rubs. Taking some time off of working a 9-5 so have tons of time to hang and play with your pet! Happy to take them on walks, hikes, or even runs! We have a big yard for our pup to roam around in and tend to take her to the dog park at least 3 times a week.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. At age 4 I fostered an abandoned litter of kittens. Since then I’ve cared for nearly every type of pet you can think of. I grew up off-the-grid in the heart of the national forest in Big Sur with limited electricity & no WiFi or cell service. I always had a dog companion & took it upon myself to do all the care for our family animals. At 13, friends and friends of friends hired me to housesit & care for their animals. Since then I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, goats, chickens, parrots, horses, and more! I competed as a NCAA D1 athlete at UCLA & am returning back to the Bay Area after nearly a year of international adventures. I’m making a career switch from public health & health equity to working as a performance coach at a specialized strength & rehabilitation studio in SF. I’m new to Rover but can offer references if needed. Available to housesit through January. Work a job with flexible hours where I can come back to check on pets. Available during the week & weekend. For housesitting services, i can provide care for animals (basic services plus special requests), garbage disposal, mail collection, plant upkeep, etc. Will follow instructions offered by pet parent. If dog and owner are comfortable, would love to take on long hikes or the beach! I am not offering boarding services at this time.

“Jennifer was GREAT!!! She kept me informed through out the day by sending pictures and videos. She even took him to the local dog park but not before asking if I thought he would be ok. Very considerate. I definitely recommend her to anyone staying in Cambria and is in need of a dog sitter. 5 stars!”
About: I have cared for animals since I was a teenager. I’ve never had my own, so I enjoy working with other people's pets. Im a nurse, so im good at caring for humans and this makes me very comfortable providing care to animals as well. I’m also great with giving medications and ensuring your pet is safely cared for. I'm currently working remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for your cat as much as needed. I know most cats don’t enjoy being walked, but if you have a harness I’d be glad to take your cat along with me! I have typically cared for pets in other's homes to provide them the same familiar environment they're accustomed to. I also can't have pets at my studio. So caring for your cat is a chance for me to have a pet part-time 🙂
“Brendan was amazing, and game for all of my Frenchie’s quirks and needs! He was very responsive, and even met me half-way at the very last minute so I wouldn’t be late! Recommend him HIGHLY!!!”
