“Maria provided exceptional service for my dog, Thor, and cat, Alfie! I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pets. Maria sent me daily summaries, pictures and videos so my mind could be at ease while away. I highly recommend Maria.”
“Caroline had amazing communication!! I had a whole google doc of instructions 😂 and she was so good at consistently keeping our babies on their schedule and routines, even with all their quirks! I loved all the regular updates; we had some scheduling issues in the middle but she was incredibly transparent and very detailed in communicating so o was able to make l alternative arrangements! Our shy cats + xl dog took to her immediately 😊”
About: Hi, I'm Kimmy 👋! I love being around cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've cared for friends' and family's pets whenever they're away or have plans of their own, so I know how much it means to trust someone with your best friend. I treat every pet, and every pet owner, like part of a well-cared-for family. You'll get regular updates, and your pet will get plenty of attention and love I’m currently working as hybrid full time . So, my schedule is flexible. I enjoy spending my days around furry creatures to help other professionals like myself I live in a apartment that has an easy accessible door to a pet garden area on my floor where fur babies can play, do their business, and enjoy some air and sun.
“Claudia did an amazing job, and I couldn't be happier with her pet sitting!🫶🏻 She went completely out of her way to make sure Mila had a great day. I mentioned that Mila loves walks, and Claudia took her on a mission for a puppuccino and she went to three different cafes just to find one! ☺️ Her communication was also fantastic. She sent me pictures throughout the day, and whenever I asked for an update, she immediately shared their exact whereabouts along with videos. I also loved checking the puppy cam and seeing Claudia get right down on the floor to give my 10-pound poodle her undivided attention. Once the day was over, she made sure to message me confirming that Mila was home safe and sound. 🐾 I came home to a calm, happy, and delightfully tired dog after a full day of adventure. ❤️ I have absolute confidence in Claudia and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend! 🤗”
“Sophia and her husband were absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Fraser. From the very beginning, communication was clear, responsive, and thoughtful. They took the initiative to ask questions and confirm details I hadn’t thought to mention, which gave me a lot of confidence that Fraser was in great hands. Throughout my trip, Sophia sent regular photo and video updates, along with detailed notes about how Fraser was doing. It really gave me peace of mind knowing exactly how he was eating, behaving, and settling in while I was away. I came home finding my house cleaned and arranged the same way as it was. What impressed me most was how calm, professional, and observant they were when an unexpected situation came up at the house. She kept me informed with clear, factual updates and helped me understand what was happening without adding unnecessary stress. I truly appreciated her and her’s professionalism and support during a situation that could have been much more difficult. Most importantly, Fraser was well cared for, and clearly comfortable with them. I would absolutely trust Sophia and her husband with Fraser again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring pet sitters.”
“Jaron did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! We were gone over the holidays and very anxious about leaving them for so long and he was very attentive and put us to ease. He sent lots of pics and videos and we felt 100% confident with leaving them in his care. Jaron was great!”
“Elena was fantastic! She kept in touch with us frequently, providing updates on how our fur babies were doing, which put our minds at ease while we were away on a family trip. Elena took great care of our animals, and it was clear that our fur babies enjoyed her company. We were truly impressed by her level of care. We will definitely request to have Elena back the next time!”
“We are so happy we found Yvonne, what a great fur baby sitter! Sent tons of photos, very responsive when I reached out, and did not hesitate to askquestions if she felt unsure about something. We will for sure be booking her again if she’s available.”
“We had a great experience! Molly was punctual, detail-oriented, and took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. We came back to a clean house and, most importantly, two happy and healthy pups. We really appreciated the care she gave them and would definitely book with her again!”
“Marlisha is easy to communicate with and she is a wonderful person and dog sitter. She took well care of my house and puppy when I was away for two nights. I highly recommend Marlisha.”
“Bryan is great! Very chill, easy to communicate with, sends plenty of pics while they are out and about! We’ve already been a repeat customer as we come home to a very happy girl, we know she’s in good hands. I’m sure BK will be seeing Bryan again soon!”
“A great sitter! She house sat for us for a week and administered oral meds to my cat, and kept our 70 lb high energy dog company. She gave us daily updates and asked questions when needed. Will book her again!”
“Jalyn was amazing! She was so great with our dogs, took them on lengthy walks, and followed their routine to a T. She gave them so much love and sent us tons of updates, pics, and videos. For a special treat, she also cleaned up before she left! 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”
“Meghann is wonderful......I lost my house sitter so I started searching on line and found Rover. We were offered the ability to interview any of their sitter/walkers before making a decision. We loved Meghann, she met with us twice and left us confident with leaving our furry friends and our home to her. She was wonderful and we are going to use her for future travels. I would recommend anyone searching for a qualified sitter to log into Rover and use Meghann.”
“Michelle is a rockstar sitter! She did a great job taking care of our pup and gave him all the love and attention he needed. She's also a fantastic photographer so you can expect some lovely pics of your pet. What a treat it was to receive them while away ❤️❤️”

Finding the right sitter for Scout is something we take seriously and Hope exceeded every expectation! She kept us updated throughout our trip and Scout clearly adored his time with her. We would highly recommend her without hesitation and look forward to booking with her again!
Alia is absolutely amazing! If I could clone Alia and have her every time our pups need watching, I would. Not only did she maneuver a vet situation, but she was so resourceful and very communicative throughout the week. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitting experience. If I could give Alia 10 stars, I would!
Berra could not have been better with our two dogs. They adored her immediately! She has experience with large breeds which was very important to us. She was responsive, arrived right on time, made sure our boys got plenty of exercise and affection. We got plenty of updates and photos. She left the house cleaner than when she arrived and we can't wait to have her back again. HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you Berra!!
Catherine was an amazing sitter for my dog, Finn!! He felt very comfortable with her and she was so so welcoming to him! She sent updates of Finn and made sure he ate and went potty! She also took him on walks and took him on an adventure! We will be asking her to watch him in the future!
Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Lisa has taken care of our little senior pup, Queenie, several times and we always trust her to do a great job. She asks questions upon arrival and sends updates and cute photos! We trust Lisa and find her wonderful to work with. I would absolutely recommend her!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Millbrae walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Millbrae maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Millbrae choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
