“Zsa-Zsa is communicative and was so thoughtful in her approach to the process—offering a pre-sit meet-and-greet and to learn how to care for my cat. I got pictures and a really-fun-to-read note everyday about the visit that made me feel super reassured! Would absolutely love to work with her again in the future.”

About: I want to spend more time outdoors on walks and get to know the people and pets around me! I am able to go on multiple walks and run daily. I have a lot of experience with pets personally and professionally and am comfortable helping to training dogs, providing medications to pets, and following detailed instructions. I am not working during my winter break and have lots of time to play and spend time with York pets. I’m happy to chat on your specific needs and work together to find a schedule that fits you and your pets! I care for pets by monitoring their behavior, food and water levels, and yard/litter box. I spend quality time with your pet so they get enough attention and play time in.
“Emma was amazing from booking to drop in! She took tons of photos and left great notes. She clearly loves animals and treated me dogs like her own. I trust her with my home and would use her again!”

About: I own 3 dogs and have trained them all including potty training, crate training and obedience training. I have fostered many puppies through a rescue and have cared for all of them and prepared them for their forever homes. I am happy to work with dogs that need some additional skills, including potty training as long as they have begun work at home. I am happy to take care of senior pups and give them medications as needed. I work from home part time and I set my own hours. I am home all day long and am available to your pets with the exception of maybe a couple of hours a day in which case they would be secured in the home in any manner that is appropriate for them, ie kennel. I have a fully fenced in yard for the dogs to play and potty in. My home is also set up with gates around entry doors that the dog/human enter, gate is closed before an entry door is open. In the home I have multiple pet gates to control movement throughout the house. I have security cameras at all entrances and on the dog kennels and areas where the dogs are so that I can monitor them while away from home. I request that every dog that I am getting to know wear a tracking device (I will provide one during their stay if you do not use one).

About: I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I love dogs and spend a lot of time outside and in parks. I am an active person and would be happy to walk, run, hike, or provide companionship for your dog! I have my own dog (8 years old) who is medium sized, neutered and loves dog friends :) We can all walk together, or I will walk your dog separately/individually if he/she prefers that. If you want me to pet sit, your dog must be OK with other dogs since he/she would be at my home with my dog and me. I have lots of toys, lots of time, endless treats and more dog beds than dogs! Reach out and let me know what you are looking for and I am sure I can accommodate! Thanks. I work from home and have a flexible schedule between 8 and 4pm. I have a car and can come to you or bring your dog to a trail. I have a fenced in patio and I have multiple dog beds! There are stairs to enter my apartment which may be hard for senior dogs.
About: I’ve always loved animals, for their big hearts and one of a kind personality traits. My family had a Rottweiler when I was a child and she always felt like the little sister I never had. My hours are flexible so I’m open to meeting your requirements to watch over your pet. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment, so having the opportunity to cuddle up & spend some time making a new furry friend would be a treat. Overall, I’m very passionate when it comes to the safety & well-being of your pets, so I look forward to providing I am currently a freelance filmmaker, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for boarding on the weekdays, Saturdays from 10am-4pm and Sundays after 3pm it's important for me to understand the type of pet I'm caring for so that i can gauge what type of activities they're into. I love being outdoors, so if your pet is active then i can take them to some of my favorite hiking trails that are near your home. If they're homebodies then I'll typically play some tug-o-war, or fetch with their favorite toys until they're tired. Then i'll feed them and chill out.
About: I love animals! I have been lucky to have had so many loving and wonderful cats and dogs in my life. I have had my own pets, as well as taken care of numerous friends pets over the years. It's fun taking care of new pets, they all have such unique personalities! I can administer medications, and I'm very good at following all your instructions to best take care of your critters. I moved to the Bay Area in 2025, and I'm excited to be here! I have a flexible schedule, and I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets. I am very good at following your directions on when and how much to feed your pets, when they are used to their walks, etc. I have administered medication to pets. I very much care about the safety and well being of your fur babies.
“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”

“Erin was amazing with our generally shy cat. He took to her immediately upon meeting her during our intro session! She provided daily updates while we were away, and he looked very happy in the pictures, and was happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely try to book her again next time we need a sitter!”

“Jena is wonderful! She's a great communicator and is punctual and trustworthy. Our dogs loved her which was evident in the cute photos she sent. Thank you Jena!”

“Shivani was an awesome sitter for my two cats. She was very attentive during the previsit and offered to take out the garbage cans since it was garbage day. Since it is ant season, the ants got in the cat feeding area during the cat sitting period, and Shivani helped deal with them since the cats do not like them! She gives detailed updates and is very considerate. I trust her in my home with my cats and will be definitely be booking her again. Thanks Shivani!!!”

About: My husband & I are semi-retired professionals who have been raised with pets our entire lives. We specialized in smaller breeds (20 lbs and under) & definitely have a soft spot for doodles as well. 😊 We are proud to say that we’re experienced, caring, detail oriented, and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives. 🤣 We are not a typical boarding kennel club or sitters who host excessive number of dogs at once. We focus heavily on safety, attentive individualized quality care, love, mutual respect & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. We are perfect for babies with separation anxiety as we are home 24/7. Your fur baby will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number! His/Her safety and comfort are our TOP priorities when staying with us. We promise! We are generally quite flexible with drop off and pick up time. Communication and mutual respect are key factors to any positive relationships. Please note daycare is limited to 9 hours only, Our yard is securely fenced, with ample green lawn and play area. There are plenty of outdoor opportunities with not just cameras, but actual IN PERSON supervised playtime at ALL TIME to keep your little ones active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for comfort, slip & fall prevention (great for senior pups). We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cats, rabbits and hamsters who do not wish to interact with dogs as we do have the sweetest senior Shih Tzu rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time. Given that said, your babies must be human friendly.😅
“This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!”

About: I have extensive experience with animals, including volunteering at the Oakland Zoo with giraffes and the East Bay SPCA. I am very comfortable and skilled with animals, and I have two cats of my own. I also have significant experience walking and cleaning up after dogs for a pet boarding company I work at part time. Additionally, I’ve done many overnight pet sitting jobs at clients’ houses. Pet care is a large part of my day. I have two cats at home who need lots of love and attention. I work with dogs and cats part time too about three days a week. I love animals and love to hang out with them in my free time daily. I care for pets in clients’ homes usually by staying overnight and sleeping with them. I play and hang out with the pups or kitties while i’m there to give them attention and happy while their parents are gone. I take dogs on walks couple times a day and clean litter boxes for cats too if the client doesn’t need live in overnight sitting. I can also always play with the dogs outside in backyards during short potty breaks if the client prefers not to have the dogs taken on walks.

“Charlotte is a wonderful pet sitter!! She was communicative, responsible, and very thoughtful in taking care of my cat. It was supposed to be hotter than I expected while I was away, and she was great about checking in and offering to help keep my apartment cool for my cat's comfort. He also was so happy to get some lap time and company with her! She's awesome and reliable, and I will absolutely be booking her again for future sitting needs.”

“Maia was great with our super shy 10 month old kitties. She provided prompt communication, adorable photos, and took good care of our home. We're looking forward to having her back here again soon. Thanks Maia!”

Erin was amazing with our generally shy cat. He took to her immediately upon meeting her during our intro session! She provided daily updates while we were away, and he looked very happy in the pictures, and was happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely try to book her again next time we need a sitter!

Kirsten is absolutely amazing and I will reach out to her whenever I need a cat sitter again. She is extremely attentive, caring, responsible, and willing to go the extra mile. It is also clear she loves animals, which is very important to me when choosing a sitter. Our cat Mira was having litter box problems and Kirsten was open to even bathing the cat on her own! She also provided great communication and pictures throughout the entire process, and always let us know if she had any concerns about Mira's health (Mira is FIV-positive so her immunity is low, making her prone to contracting diseases). Overall, highly recommend!

Nicola and Mike are the best pet-sitters we could have ever hoped for. They are not only delightful people, but also took such amazing care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. They provide excellent communication, updates at every visit (with fun bonus pictures of the mess our cats made), and even cleaned up after our kitties which was not required but very appreciated. They took time to get to know our cats and their unique personalities , and bonded with them in a very short time. I can’t recommend them highly enough and will be booking with them in the future.
