“Erin took great care of our senior kitty! She got lots of love from Erin and was given her medication as well. In addition Erin kindly watered our plants and brought our packages in. We really appreciated her and would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Angelica was the best pet sitter we could ask for. She took such good care of our baby pickle. We got daily update and so many great pictures and an amazing video. We could tell she really cared about pickle and pickle loved her. We will 100% book her if we ever need a sitter again. 10/10 would recommend”
“Nilab was fantastic! She was so caring to our two cats and tailored attention to each of them. She got our shy cat to slowly come out of his shell and she gave our other cat plenty of play and attention. She was really flexible and easy to work with, and even was available to come over for a last minute visit. Nilab gave us peace of mind when we were traveling and gave great and detailed updates with pictures, it made our hearts full! We will definitely book with Nilab again!”
“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy, reserved cats. I’ve boarded cats in my home, done drop-in visits for multi-cat households, and always make sure pet parents feel connected while they’re away. I send regular updates with photos and videos so you’ll never have to wonder how your pets are doing—you’ll see they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. In addition to cats, I also have experience with dogs and even tortoises, so I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m here to give them the attention and love they deserve. Since I work part-time evenings, I have plenty of daytime flexibility for pet care. I enjoy making cat care part of my regular weekly routine. I create a safe, calm environment by keeping areas clean, securing doors and windows, and sticking to the pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have a deep passion for dogs of all sizes and ages, and with over 10 years of pet care experience, I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s feeding, bathing, walking, or just giving them love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different needs and personalities—and yes, they’re more than welcome to snuggle up and sleep on my bed! I have a dog of my own who’s a big part of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I also work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the dogs I watch. Whether it’s daytime visits, evening walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always make their comfort and safety my top priority. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease—plus, they’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I have a big fences backyard with lots of grass for playtime. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to help them feel right at home. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow all instructions closely, keeping their pet’s routine and environment consistent. I give each pet lots of attention, affection, and care—just like I would with my own dog.
About: Over the past 12 years, I’ve raised and trained two dogs from just 2 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience in early puppy care and training. I’ve also cared for multiple large-breed dogs in a family home, adapting to different temperaments and routines. Beyond personal care, I’ve rescued several dogs off the street and volunteered at animal shelters—experiences that taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors with patience and compassion. My deep love for animals and real-world experiences is what I live for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now, as I currently don’t have a job and have open availability. I’m fully available any time from Saturday through Sunday, making it easy for me to accommodate last-minute bookings or extended care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, calm, and secure—free of hazards and full of love. I follow any instructions closely, from feeding routines to preferred walking routes, and always give pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease while their owner is away.
“Supriya took amazing care of my senior cat. My cat is very shy and does not let anyone pet her. However, she took a liking to Supriya right away and was happy to get head scratches & pets, and even purred! Supriya really has a wonderful way with cats. I appreciate the patient, kind and gentle way she cared for my cat. Cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and taken care of them all my life. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and I’ll make sure yours are in good hands. I currently a part time student and can help you look after your dogs. I can check in on them or take them for walks if you can’t get home in time before they need to go out. I currently have a dog in my home. I live in a townhome but make time to make sure she gets potty breaks and has a walk to stimulate her mind. I can help provide that for your dog too!
About: Hi, I'm Tisha! I’ve always loved animals! I personally have 3 dogs: Banzo (8), an Australian Shepherd, Nugget (10), an American Eskimo mix, and MJ (12), a chiweenie mix. Also, I have a tabby cat named Tamago and one goldfish, Buey (2). I’ve cared for Banzo since he was a puppy. And I have adopted Nugget since he was about 1 and MJ I adopted more recently as a senior. Tamago our cat found me, and I have helped her even give birth to her 6 kittens. My dogs are all trained from commands to potty training, to even crate training. Growing up I also had a maltipoo who lived to be 18 and a tabby cat who lived to be 14. My favorite thing about my pets is coming home and seeing them and seeing how excited they are to see me. I can ensure that I will take care of your fur baby like one of my own. I'll promise to provide safety, socialization and fun. I love my pets and care for them deeply, they’re like my kids! And I can ensure I will love yours too. Pet care is something I can fit into my schedule as I typically work from home for part of the week and I have flexibility on the weekends. My dogs are friendly and are very well trained they tend to mind their own business. As well my cat tends to do her own thing and isn't afraid of dogs. If need be my dogs are crate trained if there needs to be any separation.
About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.
About: Growing up with dogs has instilled in me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their furry companions. I’m excited to extend my services and meet more wonderful dogs.

I work three days a week on night shifts, while my wife works during the day. This means there is always someone at home to provide constant care and attention to your pups. Our unique schedule allows me to have plenty of time to take the dogs out for walks, playtime, and give them the affection they deserve. I have a spacious backyard with plenty of grass for your dogs to run and play, as well as a shaded concrete area for them to relax and stay cool. My home is exceptionally pet-friendly, designed to ensure your pup feels comfortable and secure. Inside, they can enjoy the climate-controlled environment, whether they need air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter. Your pup is welcome to lounge on the furniture, explore the cozy spaces, and make themselves at home. I strive to provide a nurturing and fun environment where your furry friend can feel like part of the family while you're away.

She’s incredibly trustworthy and always keeps me updated with lots of photos and detailed messages which gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away from my babies. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares. She’s kind, attentive and my cats absolutely adore her (which is rare because my cats hide from most people :) When my babies are left in her care I always come home to happy, well cared for kitties. I’m so grateful to have found someone as dependable and loving as Gladys.”
aiyana c.
“We have used Aiyana to dog sit on multiple occasions while we were away on vacation. My dogs absolutely love her! They are full of energy and Aiyana has no problem keeping up with them and keeping them entertained. She is very caring and gentle. Our most recent dog had anxiety and just needed a little more attention and care. Aiyana would come around lunch hour for a couple of hours during the week to feed, walk and play with my pup while I was stuck at work. She is a gem! Our minds our at ease when we are away knowing our fur babies are being cared for by someone who loves them just as much as us!”

Siripak K.
“In the time that I have known Chadchasa (Penny), I have been able to see how attentive and caring she is. Before setting off on a task, she makes sure that she knows exactly what needs to be done and prepares accordingly. When amongst friends, she makes sure that everyone is having a good time and taken care of. I believe Penny's fun-loving yet attentive personality would make her a good dog caregiver.”
North Hayward pet parents share their Rover experiences
Veronica was a wonderful cat sitter for Caper and Tiggy! She was a great communicator, always letting me know when she would be dropping by, and she stuck to the schedule she committed to. Each visit came with detailed updates and plenty of cute photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she really cared about my cats. I’d happily book her again.
Mary is exceptional. Apart from taking great care of our two cats while we were gone for a week, unfortunately one of our cats got sick. She communicated with us and ensure she got taken care of. Cant thank her enough for that. Would definitely recommend her.
We only had Lisa Marie stop by for one day but we’re verify happy with her service! Instructions were followed and there was good communication. There was only one minor misunderstanding which wasn’t too big of a deal. We’d be glad to have Lisa look after our kitties again
Desiree did a great job with the drop in visits for our cat Cece. She took care of giving her food and ensuring her water and litter was clean. She also played with Cece and gave her the love and affection she needed. Desiree sent us detailed reports every day along with videos of Cece. I would strongly recommend Desiree to anyone needing someone to look after their cat.
Angie was FANTASTIC with communication and took great care of our elderly kitty. She really went above and beyond while she cat sit for us, including starting some things in the wash that our precious girl soiled badly. We will definitely try to book her again!
I wanted Juejin again for my second time thought I somehow searching in the wrong place. However I was able to book her for a 2nd time. I would certainly keep her as a permanent sitter, however her area will be changing. Her new location area will be getting a very valued and dependable person for drop-in visits. I recommend her highly.
