Ruby was a great cat sitter. She’s quick to respond, responsible and truly went above and beyond by helping clean up kitty throw up as well. I’ll definitely book her again. Thanks for giving me a peace of mind on my vacation, Ruby :)

About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.

About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.

Tricia was an absolute perfect fit for my dog, a Long haired-german shepherd that requires structure, a firm hand, mental stimulation, and cuddles. Tricha delivered it all, she was very communicative, and made sure to check-in with great updates, and asked questions to clarify anything. I trust her judgement completely, and she was great with Nala, delivering not just a dog walker and in-house sitter, but a great companion and teacher for Nala. If you're not sure if a sitter can handle your dog because they can be slightly reactive or need more attention, Tricia is the sitter for you!

About: I have taken care of and been around many dogs since childhood. Growing up, my first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier. We got him in 2009 and he lived a happy active life until 2021. In 2022, I adopted an Australian Cattle/Great Dane mix. I also have experience caring for and looking after Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Maltese, Pitbulls, and Dachshunds. My schedule is highly flexible! I am able to switch my schedule to my client's needs to make sure their pet is taken care of. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. My dog is super friendly and loves having doggy friends around. I am able to go on long walks and spend time doing enriching activities.

About: Taking care of dogs started for me with my wonderful and energetic Airedale in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I also take pride in leaving your house as nice as when arrived. For long stays or short, I’m happy to help. I am currently working part time nearby and I am not planning holiday travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfortable entrusting me with either or both.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 20+ years. I grew up with a cat and 2 dogs, rode horses, volunteered at animal shelters, and we currently have 2 tuxedo kitties. I have been volunteering with local animals shelters for the past 10+ years; mainly dogs, cats, and small animals. I usually opt to support pet care (feeding, kennel cleaning, walks) and recently I have been supporting surgeries (spays, neuter, etc). From all of my experiences, I’ve found that patience, respect, and kindess are the pillars to good interactions with animals. The most important thing to me will always be the well-being of your pet. Happy to help out fellow pet parents through Rover! Cheers, Marissa I’m currently between jobs (biotech in the bay) and am happy to add some structure to my days with pet care. I’m available weekdays for visits, walks, and care. Not able to do boarding or home sits at this time. I will respect your space as if it was my own; no shoes in the house, leave things cleaner than you found it, pet-safety conscientious (ex food risks). When visiting your pets they’ll have my undivided attention and you have my promise to thoroughly review any instructions; big or small.

Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

About: My experience comes from a place of deep love and dedicated "parenting." I raised my own dog from the time he was 8 weeks old, and because I knew he would grow into a 75lb powerhouse, I made it my mission to ensure he was a "gentle giant." I invested years into his development, attending socialization and training classes three times a week to master positive, reward-based training techniques. Through patience and consistency, he became the kind of dog everyone loved:calm, polite, trusting, and incredibly sweet. I am also experienced in high-level medical care. Last year, my dog fought a rare autoimmune condition. During his two-month battle, I became proficient in managing intensive treatments and navigating the complexities of emergency veterinary care and blood transfusions. Though he passed away in August, the experience taught me how to be an advocate for a dog’s health and how to stay calm under pressure. My husband and I aren't ready to bring a new dog into our home just yet, but I have so much love and specialized knowledge left to give. Whether your dog needs a structured walk with positive reinforcement or a gentle drop-in visit with a caregiver who understands their unique personality, I will treat them with the same devotion I gave my own best friend. My current schedule is highly flexible during the week. I view dog walking and drop-ins as the perfect way to step away from my desk and get active. Because I manage my own hours, I can provide consistent mid-day visit or walk when most owners are at work. Caring for a dog isn’t just a ‘task’ for me, it’s a rewarding part of my daily rhythm that allows me to share time with a furry companion. Safety and trust are my top priorities, rooted in my experience raising and training a 75lb dog. I provide a secure environment by:     •    Equipment Checks: Always ensuring collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before leaving the house.     •    Situational Awareness: Staying hyper-aware of our surroundings during walks to avoid reactive dogs, busy traffic, or unsafe debris on the ground.     •    Positive Reinforcement: Using the reward-based training techniques I’ve practiced for years to keep the dog focused and calm.     •    Clear Communication: Providing owners with detailed updates and photos so they feel connected and reassured.     •    Medical Vigilance: Having navigated a serious autoimmune illness with my previous dog, I am highly observant of subtle changes in a dog’s energy or behavior that might indicate they aren't feeling their best.

Diana and Michael were so kind and professional. I felt extremely safe leaving Reptar in their hands. He requires a wagon and to be lifted, so not for everyone, but Michael was able to assist my big/little guy and get him out while I was out of town for the day. Thank you so much for being so kind and sweet to my guy.

About: Hi! My name is Florence based in Burlingame and I am excited to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐈‍⬛🐾 I am a proud cat parent I have a 9 month old void named Kima. I have a lot of experience with dogs as well, my family has a 4 year old poodle and I was constantly dog sitting him when I still lived at home. I am approaching a year here on Rover and have experience with dog walks and drop in visits for both dogs and cats. Currently taking clients for drop in visits and dog walks. Let me know if you have any questions would be happy to answer them. My schedule is always consistent and I currently work part time at Kaiser when I am not pet sitting. I am not available on Mondays but can do morning and lunch time walks throughout the rest of the week! I'm always mindful of my surroundings during walks, paying close attention to leash length, nearby animals, and the environment. At home, I stay attentive to your pet’s behavior and will treat every pet with care, patience, and respect for their unique needs and routines.

Deborah goes above and beyond to care for my pup Lyla! She even made time to come over and meet my dog prior to our first walk - which was booked last minute due to unexpected schedule changes - to make sure Lyla felt safe and comfortable with her. I really appreciate her flexibility in scheduling and I’m so glad I have peace of mind when leaving Lyla in her care. Thank you!
