“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.”

“Kim is a wonderful cat sitter - thoughtful and very thorough with her updates for both your pet and any mail/plant care. Thank you Kim for dropping in our shy Stormy girl! We hope to see you again soon!”

“Demi did a wonderful job of watching my two cats while I was away for the weekend. When I got home, I could tell they had been well cared for, and I really appreciated the pictures she uploaded. Thank you Demi!”

“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of. Thanks for checking everything like his litter box, food, health, etc. We appreciate you looking after our little angel baby and sending us the most adorable photos. We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”


About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”

About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.

About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I like to double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”

About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.

“Tisha was superb! She was scheduled drop-in services twice a day, primarily to feed our fur babies. We appreciate her great communication and daily pics requested.

About: I have worked in a dog boarding facility, always taking care to clients both humans and pets including love and care of all.

“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, goats, chickens, cats, and dogs. This evoked in me a deep passion for animals, but especially dogs. My current occupation is nannying and I have been doing so for 10 years. I have also worked as a petsitter when the occasion arises. I love both of these jobs and this is the reason for deciding to sign up for this app. The way that I would describe myself is: responsible, caring, calm, sensitive, trustworthy, and reliable. I can easily create a connection with children and dogs alike, which makes them more comfortable spending their time with me. I feel comfortable sitting dogs of all sizes. I will genuinely love your pet and will always make sure to respond to his/her needs. Thank you for reading! Caring for pets is something I naturally build into my day. I make time for regular walks, feeding, play, and attention, and I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, play, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and follow all instructions carefully. I also communicate consistently with updates, photos, and any important observations.

North Hayward pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Wenyuan taking care of our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Lucy comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Lucy was relaxed and well cared for when we got home, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Erin is simply amazing and I 100% recommend her! Erin has cared for my fur babies twice over the last year while I’m on vacation. She is very reliable, cares for animals and makes you feel completely rest assured that your fur babies are safe and well cared for. I completely trust her. She took very good care of my animals. I’d give a 10 star rating if that option was available! She is the best! 😊
