1. Leslie V.

“Leslie was just what I was looking for to help me with my anxious dog as I went away for the weekend. She is very easy to communicate with and responsive. She was great about arrival and departure times and kept my dog and my house safe. My dog was definitely less stressed when I got home compared to drop in visits which we have done in the past. I will use her again for sure.”


2. Ashley S.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have now been in the veterinary field for 4 years so I can ensure I can provide the care they will need! I've worked with a multitude of different animals and can't wait to meet your fur baby! I work as a veterinary assistant 4 days a week but I know my schedule well in advance and can always figure out what would work best! I will ensure proper food and water are provided, potty breaks are maintained, and all of the needed play time and walks are had as well.


3. Kylee S.
“Kylee tells excellent care of our 2 doggies Junebug a 40lb boxer that is 16 yrs old and Dash, a 20 lb mix that is 5 yrs old. They both require unique needs, medications and food. She gets it all right, every time and they love her!”

“Very professional always on time.”


5. Jennifer D.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since a child. As an adult I’ve fostered several dogs to help find them homes. Big animal lover who likes structure. I don’t let my pets in the kitchen and try to teach them not to beg. I currently have open availability, so plenty of time to help play with your pups and care for them while you’re gone. Whether it just be for a few hours, or overnight. I have a smaller backyard, but it fenced, and available for pets to use. I live close by a gorgeous park, so love heading for walks, & playing catch somewhere nearby.


6. Mirella L.

“Marella is awesome with our dogs. I always feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I never have any problems with the house after she house sits, it's like she wasn't even there, but ask the pics I get shows otherwise. She is wonderful at communicating and making me feel better leaving then with all the great pictures”


7. Marissa M.

“Marissa was fantastic! This was our first time hiring someone from Rover to stay at our home with our 2 cats and 2 dogs and she exceeded our expectations! Prior to our trip she happily came to our home a few times to meet with them, to help them (and us) be more comfortable. Marissa kept great communication with me the entire trip, sent pictures and videos, and even gave each of our dog's a bath! She is professional, dependable, and personable. Marissa genuinely loved and cared for our animals like her own. So happy that we found her!”


8. Emma C.

“Emma was AMAZING to my three seniors and spoiled chihuahuas. As old babies, they have special needs. She was on time for meals and medication ( insulin 2x/day). My dogs were comfortable with her care and kindness. I relaxed for three days when I saw by the home cameras she followed the rules about my diabetic dog food and insulin injections. She was confident and made me trust in her care. We are so glad to had her in our house. I really appreciated her care to my seniors Chihuahuas 💙🩷🩷 Thank you so so much, Emma🙏 Lots love from Gaucho, Panda, Cookie, Claudia e John🙏🙏”


9. Alexis A.

“Alexis did a fabulous job watching our dog and cat, along with the whole house overall. Our senior chihuahua normally doesn’t like new people much but jumped into Alexis’ lap within minutes of meeting! She kept us updated as needed and left the house looking great. Would definitely like to rebook for future trips.”


10. Cristina L.
“Cristina is the most loving, compassionate and reliable person I know. You can trust her with your pets as well as her ability to arrive on time and to go above and beyond what is asked of her. She wants to not only do things well, but she wants to things correctly. You will receive excellent customer service and a stellar experience. Cristina is the first person I would ask to take care of my pets!”


11. Miranda Q.

“Miranda was super with our 13 year old lab and 6 year old doodle for 3 nights while we were out of town. They were well-cared for and exercised daily. We will use her services again in the future.”


12. Haley H.

“Haley was great with Mojo. Awesome with communication and had great questions which helped with Mojo’s care! Will definitely use Haley in the future!”


13. Rebecca R.

“Rebecca is wonderful. She is extremely conscientious and personable. The dogs both liked her immediately. My Aussie is a picky boy so this is saying something! I felt comfortable with Rebecca staying at my house and confident my dogs were safe. My dogs are around 60 and 50lbs. I will be calling on her again!”


14. Cyndi K.


“Cyndi was very attentive and took great care of our two gentle giants. My partner and I enjoyed getting periodic status updates while we were alway.”


15. Emma F.

16. Alyson T.
About: Hi there ! My name is Alyson & I’m 24 and have a BS from SFSU. I’ve had several dogs of my own while growing up and now that I’m older I take care of other people dogs! I’ve been walking dogs on Wag since 2018 but the past year I have gotten more into house sitting / pet sitting using a platform called Trusted House Sitters . I have been trusted to stay and take care of peoples dogs anywhere from a weekend to almost the entire month. I have a perfect 5 star rating on there as well as being background checked. I’m happy to share my profile from that website as well. I feel very comfortable caring for peoples dogs & houses overall. I’m big dog friendly— as I grew up having American Staffordshire Terriors and Pitbulls — and have sat / walked dozens of big dogs. I’m a dog park veteran and love a good yappy hour. I’m also perfectly happy with a cuddle couch potato as well:) Overall, I’m happy to take care of your fur baby and excited to make new connections. My schedule is pretty flexible! Each day I typically see 1 or 2 clients and sometimes none, so I’m only busy for a few hours each day. When I’m caring for your pet I’ll always make sure to follow your guidelines as well as house rules. I’m very tidy, attentive, and love playing / snuggling with dogs.


17. Brittany J.

“I would rebook Brittany. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates while we were gone and was at the house with our dogs when she said she would be. Brittany let me know when our clumsy dogs knocked over a plant and broke the pot and even cleaned it up for us. Most importantly, the dogs seemed happy and healthy when we got home:)”


18. Arrington M.
About: My name is Arrington and I’ve been taking care of animals for about 20+ years now. I’ve grown up owning dogs and cats, as well as volunteering with multiple different animal organizations. I also have 2 years of experience in a Veterinary Hospital and have learned a great deal regarding health and wellbeing for pets. Super excited to get to know your fur-babies and work with you in the future! I’m currently working a remote job, so pet sitting will fit perfectly into my schedule. I also love working with animals so this will allow me to continue to do something I love. I have 2 years of vet experience so know how to administer any medications needed for your pets. I have also worked in a dog boarding and day care center, and am super comfortable taking care of all animals.


19. Margerita S.

“Margerita was great. She would give me updates to let me know how things were going. She also sent me pictures of my dog Gia and kitten Kitty. It was a great relief to know they were being cared for by someone who really cares about animals.”
