“Thanks Natalie for being so flexible and doing walks and visits! Natalie helped out when my usual dog walker was on vacation for a few weeks. Consistent and great communication.”

“Sammy was a great sitter for my cat Stanley. She’s extremely thorough and communicative, sent detailed updates, and went above and beyond taking care of my space! I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone.”

“I needed a last minute cat sitter and she was perfect! She was very responsive, sent me loads of pictures, and even got my shy cat to come say hi. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Carolyn is so great with our lab Morty! She’s always very responsive and is flexible with last minute requests and changes! Will always keep her at the top of our list!”

About: I love getting to care for, walk, and meet dogs of any kind! I didn't have pets growing up and would love to get to spend time with my friends pets, and eventually started watching them and babysitting dogs, whether it's a drop-in or walk around the neighborhood! I recently fostered and adopted my own senior beagle and love her very much, and have learned a lot about training dogs and taking care of senior dog needs. I am currently working a remote job, so I can make time for dogs at anytime based on their schedule! Ask me when I'm free, and I'm sure we can make something work. Since my apartment is fairly small and my dog at home is a bit reactive to new dogs, I likely wouldn't be able to house any large dogs. However, I am happy to commute anywhere or stay the night to watch a dog!
“I’ve used this app countless times and I have NEVER had a better Rover! KayMaria was the perfect sitter for my cat, Roland. She sent tons of pictures and videos of him every day where he looked engaged and happy. She brought him toys. She gave him treats every day and left everything so tidy for us. Cannot recommend her enough! If you are going on a trip - or need someone for even one day - try to book KayMaria and your pet will be in very safe hands!”
“Bora is awesome! She took great care of our cat and followed all of the care info that we provided. We enjoyed receiving updates from her and our cat seemed to really enjoy her company. I recommend Bora to others and will definitely have her take care of our cat again!”

“Anna is the best! She was able to watch our bunny last minute, over a long holiday weekend. She sent so many updates and gave my boy the love and attention he needed while we were gone. 100% reliable and recommended! We will definitely book again 🐰❤️”

About: I love dogs and am great at predicting and interpreting their needs and have experience with dogs of all sizes and sociability. I understand their need to feel comfortable and secure. I get them on a deep emotional level and I’m naturally very intuitive. I don’t believe in short cuts and always finish a task to my satisfaction which most people find to excel above and beyond their expectations. There’s no long days or hard days so long as I’m doing what I love: spending time with animals and making as many pooches as I come into contact with feel loved, cared for, and content. I promise not to fall IN love with yr dog but I can’t guarantee yr dog won’t fall for me! Insured pet sitter (Rover and PCI) My availability is basically weekends (including fridays) though I can be more available with more advanced notice (so I can take the time off my full time job). I make sure I respect their space (for shy or reactive dogs) or that I’m available to cuddle for the more affectionate pups (and cats).
About: Hi, I'm Femke. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends, family, and neighbors for almost a decade. What started as a hobby quickly became something I couldn’t imagine not doing. Now, I’m excited to turn my passion for dogs into a full-time career, preparing for a degree in Cynology (dog behavior) next year. With hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and intuitive approach. I’ve walked high-energy pups who need structure and stimulation, cared for seniors who require slower walks and medication, and provided companionship to anxious or shy dogs who just need someone gentle and understanding. I’m confident in handling leash reactivity, administering basic medications, and keeping routines consistent to help dogs feel safe and secure. My focus is always on building trust, so your dog feels comfortable with me, and fully enjoys the time we spend together. *Open to pet sitting outside of the San Francisco area with additional travel fee. I’m studying part-time to prepare for my Cynology (dog behavior) degree next year, and have no other major commitments - your dog gets my full attention. My days revolve around walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, so I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and (most) holidays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to build trust with each dog, starting with a meet-and-greet to understand their routines, triggers, and preferences. During walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and stick to safe, familiar routes. I will not do off-leash unless in enclosed, client-approved spaces and with your explicit consent. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain your routines, respect your space, and provide real-time updates with photos and notes, so you’re always in the loop. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog(s) the care and companionship they deserve.
About: Hi! I am currently in a co-pawrenting situation for my dog. During the time I don’t have him, I am available to care and spoil yours! My friends, neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their furbaby. Through caring for other people’s dogs I’ve learned that I have a natural compassion and intuition for dogs. Perhaps that comes from my natural nurturing personality. Too many times I’ve been told I treat dogs like human. That is likely because I have first hand experience with a my own furbaby that thinks he’s a human child. :) You can expect your furbaby to be cared for as my own. Which means it’ll receive royal treatment filled with daily walks, affection, cuddles and positive affirmations. It will be allowed on furniture and may sleep on my bed. If you have one that suffers from separation anxiety - - - wherever I go, your furbaby will be by my side. No worries. While under my care, my day will be arranged around your furbaby to give it the most pawsome experience. I am currently on a hybrid work schedule. I have the flexibility to create my own schedule as well. I can provide a safe environment for daycare and boarding for your furbaby. I live in a secure pet-friendly building with an enclosed dog run. Walks will be given around the neighborhood. Your pet will be allowed on furniture.
“Jessica is just wonderful! I now understand why she has so many five start reviews. She is kind, patient, responsive and it’s clear that our little fur baby Chloe loves her. Jessica is always timely and responsible and sends lots of pics during drop in visits or walks. Leaving your pet with someone else is always a little stressful, but we rest easy knowing that someone as wonderful as Jessica is taking such great care of Chloe!”

“Kayla is a wonderful cat sitter! She cleans up and communicates everything so I’m always in the know. I also love that she send pics of my cats while I am away. Thank you, Kayla!”

About: With over 25 years of dog experience, ranging from extra-large to toy breeds, and 8 years of cat experience, I bring a lifetime of hands-on animal care to my work. I adopted my dog, Sokka, from the SFSPCA in 2020. He was described as “mouthy, jumpy, rambunctious” and transported from Fresno to SF. Today, he's a well-mannered companion who walks calmly on leash and knows over 20 commands, including ultimate recall. I also raised my tuxedo cat, Suki, at 3 months old when I adopted her in 2017. I’m certified in Red Cross Dog & Cat First Aid, and I’m actively working toward completing my Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) certification through International Pet Sitters. I’m known for being patient, observant, loving, and pragmatic, with a strong instinct for reading animal body language. Your pets are in calm, capable hands. I'm currently funemployed and available to house-sit and drop-ins during weekdays, offering dog-walks anytime, and am flexible for any services on weekends. I go on runs early in the morning and do some weight lifting in the afternoon I crate train my dog, have a command for them to go to their bed, and provide mental stimulation training and feeding programs. I take my dog out for potty breaks at least three times a day. I will commit to showing your animal as much love and care as I do to mine.
About: Hello! My name is Shanice and I’m excited to care for your fur baby. I’ve had small and medium size dogs growing up. I now have a maltipoo and occasionally take care of my friends and family's dogs. I dog sit at my home or theirs. When pet sitting I like to take them on daily walks, plenty of play time, and bathe their pets when needed. Unfortunately, I don’t pet sit for cats as I’m allergic :(. I have a flexible schedule during the week. I can be available for your pet in the morning, afternoon, and evening. If you have any questions on days not available please let me know. DAYCARE drop off starting at 8am and typically pick up by 6pm. Any bookings over 8 hours, please request boarding. I have a fenced in back yard at my home and parks near by to take your fur baby on a walk. If I ever need to leave my house while pet sitting, I am gone for no more than an hour or less to ensure that your pet has a companion at all times. At home with me is my very friendly maltipoo Flower to keep your dog company.
“Working with Elise was fantastic! She helped us in a pinch and took great care of both our cats while we were out of town. We felt assured that our cats were well taken care of during our trip; Elise was also exceptional at getting our larger cat to take their oral medication. Could not have had a better experience and would 10/10 recommend working with her to any better owner.”

About: I have rescued, sheltered and homed 15 cats with varying special needs. I have fostered newborns, and have provided rehabilitative medical care. Trust and stress management are integral to the way I interact with cats. I'm currently working from home and so I will generally be around all day. My daily cleaning routine includes the litter boxes and food bowls, along with notes on food/water consumption and elimination. Your cat will have places to hide and feel safe, and will get as much or as little attention as they want. There are currently no other cats or animals in the apartment.
Nob Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Colette was an absolute sweetheart with my fur babies. Good communication, regular updates, spent the full 30 minutes with them even though they were shy at first, and even sent updates on a mushroom grow kit I left, above and beyond the job description. 10/10 would Rove again!

Anna was a wonderful sitter to our elderly cat. She is such a bright, cheerful presence and cares so deeply for animals, you can tell upon meeting her. Her knowledge and gentleness came through in every report on our cat’s drop in visits, and the pictures and videos she sent were so great. We came home to a beautifully clean home and happy, healthy kitty. You can’t find a better sitter out there!
I had an excellent experience with Diana and would highly recommend her! She cared for my two cats for three weeks and went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and well cared for. She consistently spent extra time with them so they wouldn’t feel lonely, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She was also very accommodating and responsive when last-minute health issues came up. I truly appreciated her attentiveness and reliability and would gladly book her again.
Samantha was super attentive and thorough in watching my 3 month old puppy while I was at work :) we are all learning a new routine and Sam definitely helped relieve a lot of that stress and was quickly communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend her services!
