“Veronica was absolutely stellar with Mays, our Australian Cattle Dog! She watched Mays for six days, visiting him 3-4 times each day as requested. She kept us informed of everything that went on via photos, walking map, and a lovely description of how her time with Mays went. She followed our instructions to the letter, and asked questions if she had any. Mays was so happy to stay home and have his visits with Veronica! We really appreciated her and would definitely use her again!”


“Su was wonderful! Responsive, prompt, treated my cat well, and provided detailed updates. Even moved my garbage cans up and my mail. Thank you so much, would definitely rebook her again!”



About: I have experience training two dogs of my own starting from when they were both puppies. I have grown up with dogs from the age of 7 and have seen dogs at all stages of life, from puppy to senior. I have cared for family and friends' dogs while they were out of town or at work. I work from home full time and work East Coast hours so the afternoon and evenings are typically free for me. I have two dogs of my own that I care for daily as well. Our furry friends are family. If your dog needs extra attention, please provide detailed instructions and I would be happy to follow them. Otherwise, I will care for your pet as I would my own.

“Jennifer was wonderful with our pups, and on short notice! She did all we asked during the drop in, and took the most beautiful pictures of our sweet babies. We’ll absolutely book her again ❤️”


“Emily was so great!!! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! Followed instructions very well and met prior to the booking to meet our dog and also gave updates during the visits with photos! Will definitely book again in the future!”


“Myat was very communicative, thorough, timely and flexible for all our scheduled drop-ins. I really appreciated her meet and greet visit, and the many photos and updates during drop ins. She cleaned the litter well, followed the feeding schedule, and made my three shy cats feel comfortable very quickly.”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior pets, both as a loving pet parent and as a sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand how important routines and affection are, and I’m happy to tailor care to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog needs an active walking partner or your cat just wants a cozy lap to curl up on, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share updates, pics, and stories while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my full attention to caring for your furry baby, this includes regular potty breaks, multiple walks per day, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I don’t have any pets of my own and only care for one at a time, so your furry baby will have my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I always follow care instructions closely and take extra precautions during walks and potty breaks to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I’m a full-time nursing student with a natural love for animals and a calm, dependable presence. I’ve helped care for pets for over 6 years, including cat sitting for my in laws, dog sitting for friends, administering basic medications, and keeping pets company while their humans are away. I’m especially great with cats (I have two of my own!) and enjoy quiet drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box cleanup, and giving pets the affection and attention they need. I also love dogs and am happy to help with walks, check-ins, or house sitting. As someone studying nursing, I take responsibility seriously and will treat your pets like my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when leaving your furry family in someone else's hands. I’m a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and loving pet care. I’m typically available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting on weekends, as well as weekday afternoons and evenings. My schedule varies slightly every 8 weeks or so due to classes and clinicals, but I always communicate clearly and can block off days I’m unavailable in advance. I love fitting pet care into my routine — it’s a great way to unwind and connect with animals! I especially love cats, and have done tons of research and pride myself in knowing cat behavior. I always prioritize the comfort and safety of the pets I care for. Whether I’m visiting your home or offering house sitting, I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved. I’m experienced with cats and dogs, including giving meds, cleaning up accidents, and keeping them engaged and stimulated with play and activities. You can trust me to treat your home and your fur baby with the respect they deserve.

“Conscientious, caring, reliable and trustworthy! We were extremely pleased with the care Brianna provided to our 3 cats. She understood all instructions, always responded to all communication, and followed a rather complicated set of instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Brianna's services and would not hesitate to use her in the future. She earned and deserves the 5 star rating”


About: Your doggo will be treated like a member of the family and I will be sensitive to whatever your pup needs. I know that dogs each have their own personalities and will accommodate care to fit what makes them comfortable. We watch only one dog at a time so your dog will have our undivided attention. I am a part-time teacher that is home by 11:00am. My husband is home in the morning. The rest of the day is spent in my art studio. In the evening I usually go for a long walk. Most weekends are spent at home relaxing with family. We have a cozy condo that is dog friendly and a sunny deck for warm naps. We live close to Alameda Creek Trail which is where we take frequent walks. I will try and follow the routine that your dog is used to as close as possible. If you're doggie is staying with us overnight, I will send lots of updates and daily pictures. We don't have any other pets or small children so, the home is quiet and calm. I only sit one dog at a time so your dog will receive our undivided attention while visiting.

“Christian does a great job tiring out Pasha, and takes amazingly cute photos as well! It was a real treat having him come by to take care of our dear puppy. I happily recommend him.”


About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My name is Kim, and I have been surrounded by the love and companionship of animals my entire life. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s truly who I am. From a young age, I’ve shared my home with all manner of animals! From dogs and cats, to gerbils, hamsters , chinchilla, birds, and fish. I understand just how much our furry friends mean to us. My beloved Havanese was a cherished member of our family for 17 wonderful years. During his life, I cared for him through every stage—from 16 weeks to dementia and the rainbow bridge. I have administered medications, managed illnesses, and provided comfort and healing. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of attentive, individualized care. I have also fostered both dogs and cats, helping them transition into loving forever homes. This has given me valuable experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and special needs. In addition, I’ve often looked after neighbors’ dogs while they travel, so I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. I specialize in caring for animals 40 pounds or less, and I am happy to provide pet sitting in your home—where your pet feels most comfortable—or possibly in my own home, depending on your needs. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also have experience with grooming, bathing, and hygiene care, so your pet will always feel their best! My goal is to make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique routines and preferences. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a cozy place to nap, or some extra TLC, I’m here to help. Thank you for considering me to care for your precious pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Currently I have great availability. I can be your regular care giver several times a day, several days a week, or your occasionally, as needed. My hours are flexible to meet your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care in a clean, pet-friendly environment, whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. I maintain strict hygiene by regularly cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and I’m experienced with administering medications and flea treatments safely. You can trust that your pet will never be left unattended during my visits. I always follow your instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and ensure your cat’s environment is calm and stress-free. I believe in open communication, so I’ll send regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and real-time insight into your pet’s well-being. I am committed to earning your trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care for your furry family member. Your pet’s happiness and safety are at the heart of everything I do.

“Tori was amazing and would not hesitate to rebook. She came in to check in on my dog while I was at work and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Although the check in was short, Tori gave me great updates. My dog, Simba, is a nervous one, and usually doesn’t eat when new sitters come in. This was the first time I’ve had a sitter over since my other dog passed (who Simba was very bonded to) and was surprised he even ate a little.”

Kimberly P.
“I've watched my wife care for animals with more love and attention than most people give to humans. She's had pets her whole life—labs as a kid, two cats, and our sweet Havanese who she raised from puppyhood to his final days. She’s not only a true animal lover, but also deeply experienced and incredibly attentive. She’s pet sat for neighbors’ dogs, worked with aging pets who needed shots, special diets, and medications, and even bottle-fed puppies when needed. Nothing gets past her—she notices subtle changes in behavior or health that others might miss. Plus, she can handle grooming and bathing like a pro. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the absolute best care, I can't recommend her enough.”

Northgate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Minjee is truly the best! She’s so patient and kind and handles our cats SO well despite their different needs and personalities. We recently left on vacation, and unfortunately our kitten hurt his eye just before we left. Minjee was able to help administer his medications while we were away even when his usual vet clinic had trouble. We came home to happy and healthy cats and I couldn’t be more grateful. 💛

Brianna is a reliable and attentive caregiver to our cats. While we were away on vacation Brianna checked in on our two cats, refilled their food and water and checked on their litter. I really appreciated her responsiveness and thoroughness. She even watered our plants! I would highly recommend Brianna to others and would have her watch our cats again! 🫶🏻

Tori was amazing and would not hesitate to rebook. She came in to check in on my dog while I was at work and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Although the check in was short, Tori gave me great updates. My dog, Simba, is a nervous one, and usually doesn’t eat when new sitters come in. This was the first time I’ve had a sitter over since my other dog passed (who Simba was very bonded to) and was surprised he even ate a little.

This is the second time we’ve used Raeyna but the first time we’ve left our cats for more than a couple days. I am admittedly a crazy cat mom and was a bit nervous. Raeyna did a great job responding to my texts promptly and sent me pictures of both cats which helped put me at ease. This was greatly appreciated since one of my cats is fearful of strangers. Raeyna eventually earned her trust and even played with her! Everything was in order when we returned and our kitties came to greet us immediately. Thank you for taking good care of our kitties and putting up with an anxious cat mom!

Marney was awesome! We had a bit of an emergency with our original cat sitter bailing on us last minute (which was very upsetting) but Marney stepped in and handled it wonderfully! Our cat Milo took to her immediately and the two became quick friends which relieved our anxiety so much given the situation. She was responsive, diligent, and followed all our instructions perfectly! We'll definitely book her again as soon as we need it!

Our dog took to Paula immediately, she is very sweet and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with dogs. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs for drop in visits with our dog and has been a great communicator. She kept me in the loop with her visits and is just great with our pup! She even brought in packages that were delivered. Very professional and kind, I will definitely be working with Paula in the future!

We have had Christina cat sit for us three times, and she is amazing! We highly recommend her. We have a new rambunctious kitten and a 7-year-old cat who needs to take medication in her food. We were having trouble getting our cat to take her medicine, but Christina figured out a method so now she takes all of her medicine! Our kitten had a potential problem and Christina FaceTimed us. Christina also takes a lot of cute pictures, writes up detailed summaries of her visits, plays well with our cats, helps problem solve any issues that come up, and helps take out the trash. We referred our friends to Christina for cat sitting, and they thought she was amazing as well. Thank you Christina!

Exceptional Caregiver & True Animal Lover! We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Kirstin care for our beloved cat at our home for 45 days. Her kindness, proactive approach, and dedication to our pet's well-being exceeded our expectations in every way. Throughout her stay, Kirstin maintained excellent communication, keeping us informed about our cat's daily activities, appetite, and any concerns she had. Her prompt notification and willingness to take action in case of emergencies gave us immense peace of mind while we were away. We were impressed by her respect for our home and adherence to our rules. Upon our return, we found our home tidy and clean – a lovely surprise! But what truly sets Kirstin apart is her genuine affection for animals. Our cat adored her, showering her with cuddles, purrs, and even the occasional 'biscuit-making' sessions – a testament to the special bond they formed. Her selflessness and compassion shone through in many ways, including a few thoughtful overnight stays to monitor our cat's health and her kind offer to care for our pet on the night of our return, when we were struggling with jet lag. To top it all off, Kirstin surprised our cat with a delightful parting gift, which has become his new favorite toy! We wholeheartedly endorse Kirstin as a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional house sitter. We would be delighted to have her care for our pet again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and animal-loving sitter.
