“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! They took such great care of Nash and sent me tons of pictures, which I loved. Nash got to go to all the parks, spend time with his best friends, and clearly had an amazing time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, active, and so well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely use them again and again. Highly recommend!”

About: Erik and I love animals in general but we absolutely love our Dogs and cats! We consistently care for my family Dog named Mookie! Who spends her full time with my Dads family but we care for her as well. We love taking her on adventurous walks,frequent potty breaks whilst sticking to her feeding schedule, and supplement / medication routines. She also loves to join us for car rides as well! Weekly scheduling is possible! We’d love to have consistent clients and build dependable wholesome connections. As our schedule opens up, we will update our availability as well! Whether in our own space or in a clients home we ensure that the pets are getting their needs met by sticking to their routines, offering them comfort through snuggles and play! Or giving them space if they are shy or like to be in their own areas but we continue to keep and eye on them. As far as walks, we ensure that they stay safe on the roads, pay attention to how they are around other animals and also allowing them to take their time.

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. I live in a smaller space so I will only take 1 booking at a time for boarding. I’m an anxious pet parent myself so I strive to give other humans peace of mind via detailed updates.

“We asked Hong to care for our two dachshunds at our home for 2 weeks. Like many people on Rover, she clearly loves dogs, but even more, she was an incredible caregiver to our beloved pets. They had multiple daily walks and play time and outdoor time sitting in the sun or the yard. One of our dogs has had spine surgery and is not as mobile as he used to be. She was so patient with him and his extremely slow walking, reactive barking, and need for regular potty breaks. She gave them terrific care and even made some suggestions for their diet. In addition to be an excellent dog lover and carer, she is an excellent communicator and very professional, sharing photos, videos, and updates that let us know our dogs were doing well. She also took great care of our home while we were away, even helping water our plants. We give Hong our highest recommendation.”

“I first met Kelly for a preliminary 'meet & greet' and I immediately sensed her comfort with our young, certified therapy Aussie dog 'Sydney'. On the day of the sitting, Kelly arrived promptly and Sydney (again) greeted her warmly. During the visit Kelly texted us some cute photos of Sydney and Kelly at-play. I highly recommend Kelly and as the need arises we will definitely request her services without hesitation.”

“Tami was the absolute best! She sent me lots of pictures and updates on Maggie while I was on vacation and made sure she got plenty of walks and pets and cuddles! I could not recommend Tami enough.”

“I can’t say enough about how great Kasey was watching over my 2 rambunctious kittens, but also my apartment. The place was super clean when I returned, maybe even more clean than how I left it. She was extremely responsive and gave me bi-daily updates with photos and videos of how they were doing. She played with them, cuddled with them, and genuinely enjoyed their company. And my kittens absolutely loved her. I felt so at ease being out of town. 10/10 I would hire her again to watch my cats and apartment. Thank you Kasey!”


“Jon took great care of our two dogs and house while we were away for 1.5 weeks. A few unexpected issues popped up with the dogs and house and we appreciated the communication and flexibility he showed in taking care of them.”

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.
“Melina was an amazing sitter and proved to be absolutely perfect for a week long house sitter for our dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided updates multiple times a day with photos and description of the days activities. She followed our instructions to a T and we could tell that our dog was super happy with the experience upon our return. Will definitely book Melina again if she is available when we need a sitter for a long weekend.”

“Cesar was amazing! We had a last minute cancellation prior to an international trip and were totally freaked out and he immediately put our minds at ease from the first meeting. He kept us updated with photos and left our place impeccable. Sunshine seemed to warm right up to him. Highly recommend!”

“Thuy was an awesome dog and house sitter. She sent pictures regularly (without me even asking) which helped out my mind at ease. She also sent regular updates on how my pup was doing. She also left recommendations for me regarding my pup based on her experience with him. I would definitely recommend Thuy and book her again!!!”

“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”

“Lola watched our cat Cookie Dough for 10 days while we were traveling internationally. She was very communicative and responsible, even when he played escape artist for a few hours, she dropped everything to get him safely back in the house. She left our home spotless for our return. It's clear she bonded with our sweet boy and we would be happy to work with her again. Thank you!”


“Christina saved the day with a last-minute change in request for dog sitting - she went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day before and to ensure that she had all the information needed to give Odelia the best care. So grateful!”

“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently funemployed so my schedule is extremely flexible. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and/or again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. Prior to an service, I try to communicate with pet owners about anything I should know. I prefer to over communicate to make sure everyone is on the same page and that I have everything I need to make every visit, stay, or walk successful. When visiting a client's home, I allow pets to come up to me first so they can get acquainted with me. I don't force interaction since that can break down trust. If any of the pets have soiled or damaged anything on the property, I'd document it, send it to the client, then clean up any mess. Whether I'm staying at someone's house or doing drop-ins, I give each pet lots of love and attention in the form of pets, belly rubs, and playing games with them. If they are skittish, I tend to let them approach me when they feel comfortable.

Rosie was absolutely amazing. She spent a week and a half with our highly energetic Border Collie, Luna, and took excellent care of her, and our home, while we were away. In addition to showering Luna with all of the love, affection, and attention she craves (which is a lot), she made every effort to ensure that Luna’s physical activity/exercise needs (which are also a lot) were met, and fully satisfied. As an athlete and an avid runner, Rosie took Luna on daily runs throughout the Oakland hills and regional parks, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Rosie truly (and literally) went the extra mile for our pup, and treated as if she were her own. In addition to being an excellent sitter, Rosie is a wonderful houseguest, and an all-around great person. She’s responsible and conscientious, flexible and easygoing, and an excellent communicator; we received updates and photos multiple times a day, which assured us that Luna was not just in good hands, she was having an absolute blast 😊 For all of these reasons and more, I highly recommend Rosie. We feel so fortunate to have found her, and will absolutely be seeking her services again in the near future.

Lola watched our cat Cookie Dough for 10 days while we were traveling internationally. She was very communicative and responsible, even when he played escape artist for a few hours, she dropped everything to get him safely back in the house. She left our home spotless for our return. It's clear she bonded with our sweet boy and we would be happy to work with her again. Thank you!

Ava did an outstanding job caring for my dog, Gemma, who has special needs. She followed my instructions carefully and asked thoughtful questions to ensure Gemma received the best possible care. When a health issue arose during my absence, she handled it exceptionally well by keeping me informed, sending photos, and communicating promptly. Fortunately, everything worked out fine. When I returned, Gemma was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ava also took excellent care of my home and followed all of the condo rules. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again. I highly recommend her!

A true doggie professional - 5 stars. Experienced, reliable, friendly, responsive, and great to work with across the board. She immediately understood how to connect with our trauma rescue girl who hates when we’re away and how to manage her severe reactiveness with other dogs. We always felt like she was in great hands.

Diana gave Claire so much love and care! She was great about updating us on what she did that day and sent us many pictures. Claire is an older dog that needs daily medication and has some idiosyncrasies, but Diana took it all in stride and was so good to her. We are so grateful for her terrific care of our dog and as a respectful house guest.

Hollie was great with our 7yr old pittie. She stayed in our home for over a week while we were away. She sent us daily pictures and also messaged if there were any concerns or updates. I appreciated that she made sure to follow her routine and any special instructions. We had a lot of peace of mind knowing that not only was our fur baby well taken care of but also loved. I highly recommend her and would be happy to have her take care of Laika again in the future.

Sophia took amazing care of our puppy Henry and senior dog Biscuit. It was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, so it felt great knowing he (and Biscuit) were in such capable hands. Great communication all along the way. We were thrilled to come home to happy dogs and a clean house and are excited to have her back again!

I'm so glad I booked with Carmen. She's got a gentle spirit and an empathic approach that reassured me that Juniper would be in wonderful hands. Juni obviously missed her when she left because she returned to the bed Carmen had slept in and stayed there all day. She sent me photos of Juniper while I was away and I could see she was happy with Carmen. Would rebook and recommend. And I think for extra sensitive animals Carmen would be a perfect choice as she takes care to make them feel respected and safe and let them come out of their shell.
Sara was absolutely wonderful with our babies. Both of our animals are pretty anxious, so we were nervous about introducing a new sitter... but it was immediately very clear that Sara put them at ease. She sent regular updates, including pictures showing our pets happy, relaxed, and incredibly well cared for. Sara is a thoughtful, communicative, responsive, snd caring sitter who clearly love animals -- and they love her back! We will definitely be booking her again :)

We had another great experience with Hong. She took care of our 2 dogs over the weekend and they are so happy to see her again. We are confident that our dogs are in good hands when we leave them with her. She gives them individualized attention and they were both nicely brushed when we got home. She also does a super job of communicating and so we get lots of good pictures and updates while we are away. And our house is well cared for. Hong is terrific.

Rita was so great with my dog Billy! I could tell from the moment she came over that she has a natural way with animals and such a patient, calming disposition, which was especially great for Billy, who can be a little particular. She jumped right in, took him on a walk, and really made it a priority to help him feel comfortable with her. On top of that, she was incredibly communicative, flexible, and just an all-around wonderful house sitter. I felt so good knowing Billy was in her care and would absolutely work with Rita again!
