“Jesse was so kind to accommodate for my last minute booking. He made sure my pup was taken care of and is a very considerate sitter! Appreciate the regular updates and flexibility. Will definitely recommend him for any future bookings.”

“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

Rachel O.

“Kevin took good care of our cat, playing with her and following all care instructions. He sent pictures and informative updates. We would trust him with our cat again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two cats and a dog. Today, I have two cats of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As a graduate student in Counseling Psychology, I value patience, responsibility, communication, and attentiveness. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I’m currently a graduate student in Counseling Psychology, and my class schedule varies by semester. Most of my classes take place in the evenings between 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, which leaves me available during many daytime hours for pet care, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice, although my weekend availability can vary depending on personal and school commitments. I do my best to communicate clearly and respond promptly so we can find a schedule that works well for you and your pet. I understand that trust is one of the most important parts of pet care. When caring for pets, I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner and current cat parent, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your animals. I will always treat your pets and home with respect and care.

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

About: We had a family dog that I've been taking care of since 8 years old. With that, I developed a fond relationship with dogs over the years. I can guarantee to provide your dogs proper care, companionship, and a safe environment. Dog care is my part-time job right now, which means I can give your fur babies my undivided attention. I'm free everyday, and I'm happy to adjust my hours around your dogs need and routine. I have a spacious room and balcony where they can play, relax, and get some fresh air. They have a plenty of room for them to run around and just be themselves.

“If we could leave more than 5 stars we would. Alyssa gave good vibes dome the jump. Once the visits started we got follow-up questions, plenty of photos, and updates, Alyssa was a phenomenal sitter with great communication. We could tell the kitties were in such great hands, because they didn't even run up to the door for cuddles when we got home. That has never happened. We appreciated the care Alyssa took to sweep up the litter too because no other rover sitter we've had has done that.”

About: I focus on house sitting and provide calm, attentive care for dogs and cats by carefully following routines and instructions, drawing from real experience caring for dogs in familiar home environments. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially house sitting. I plan my schedule to be present, responsive, and consistent with feeding times, care instructions, and routines as agreed upon in advance. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, respect house rules, and prioritize safety and cleanliness. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

About: I have hands-on experience working with a variety of animals and am comfortable providing daily care while ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. My responsibilities have included feeding, cleaning living areas, monitoring behavior, assisting with grooming, and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while balancing a part-time job. I make time each day to ensure animals receive proper care, including feeding, providing fresh water, maintaining clean living spaces, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I also prioritize exercise, enrichment, and social interaction to support their physical and emotional needs. By managing pet care alongside my work responsibilities, I have developed strong time-management, organizational, and multitasking skills while demonstrating reliability, compassion, and a commitment to responsible animal care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, ensure living areas are clean and safe, administer basic care as instructed, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall health. I also provide exercise, playtime, enrichment, and companionship based on each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect their property, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide updates on their pet’s well-being when requested. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment while ensuring pets receive attentive, compassionate, and reliable care.

About: I've had the privilege of taking care of many pets growing up; fish, a hamster, guinea pigs, and now my cat. Animals have always had a natural affinity to me and I receive that as the greatest honor. My goal is always to make sure animals feel safe and comfortable around me before I engage with them because I respect their autonomy. As of right now, my schedule is pretty free, so I would have time to walk your dogs or hang out at home with your cats any time! I am always respectful of other people's rules and spaces. I will never make your pet do something they don’t want to do (unless they refuse to follow their parent's rules, of course). It is extremely important to me that they feel comfortable around me when I am in their space.

About: I've grown up with multiple dogs and am now happy to have my own little corgi-terrier named Karl and a black cat named Billie. I'm my friend's go-to pet sitter and have been loving getting to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. I am available in the evenings on week days and anytime weekends. Please do not book recurring walks if they need to occur earlier on weekdays. I also work as a para educator, so my schedule is flexible, but I will be unavailable for up to 9 hours at a time. Pet care and safety is very important to me. My own dog has very high needs and requires a lot of attention and care, especially on walks, so I completely understand all the peculiar needs of all pets and their individual personalities.

“Akiko was extremely responsive and went above and beyond. Our cat clearly loved her too! Akiko exhibited outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our pet. Can’t thank her enough.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life within my family but I’ve also taken my own path on raising puppies from the liter of my own dogs in my parents home having babies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken in two dogs from the streets and have been raising them since one month old. I work for myself so any time I’d need to accommodate for your pups needs I can do that ! I just want to be of convenience for the dog parents because I know how hard it can be managing your life with your fur baby. I have crates if preferred to be used but I also have my own babies that I can bring over to spend time with your fur baby so they don’t feel alone or left out. My babies love other dogs, they are so playful and fun !

“Adela was great! She took excellent care of the cats and gave us regular updates, along with adorable pictures! She was also flexible and understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly!”

About: Looking for a pet sitter who will meet your pet with the amount of love and fondness you do while you’re away? Look no further! I am a loving pet-sitter with years of experience with both cats and dogs. I specialize in regular play-visits, check-in’s, and overnights. I bring toys and treats to keep your friend mental active and engaged, while also prioritizing reading their cues to see what they’d most like to, whether that be brushing, playing, having some time for ear rubs and pets, or spending time in the same room quietly. A hobby of mine is learning about how animals tick, so I’ll often find myself researching how to read cues and make the most of my communication with animals, so I love this job because I get to make so many new friends that I get to see regularly. Whether you need one-time care or ongoing check-ins, I’d love to work with you and your furry friend to best meet your needs, especially during what can be an uncertain time for pets I run a weekly meal prep program and have regular sessions with pet-sitting clients weekly! Happy to find time that works for both of us! I try to create a relaxed and warm environment for pets to feel safe while their guardians are away. Happy to help with plant care as well while I care for your pets!

“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from growing up with a schnauzer to now raising Denali, my 10-year-old St. Bernard. Caring for a giant senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, mobility needs, routines, and just how important comfort and companionship become as dogs get older. I also have experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past year, I’ve regularly cared for Cooper, a Maltese/Yorkie mix, sometimes for weeks at a time while his family is away. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs; not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, stimulated, loved, and understood. I believe a dog’s world is only as big as we help make it, so I care a lot about enrichment, affection, play, exploration, and giving them moments that make their days feel full and exciting. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, playful, cuddly, tiny, giant, or entering their senior years, I’ll care for them with the same warmth and attention I give my own💖 My schedule is very flexible during mornings and regular daytime working hours, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and daytime care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, company while you’re at work, or extra attention during the day, I’d love to help 💖 I’m available to pick up your pet for walks or provide care directly in your home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I know how important trust, routine, and environment can be for dogs, so I always try to make their experience feel calm, familiar, and stress-free 🐶🐈

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.

About: Love dogs, cats, and pretty much most animals in between! Since 2023, my entire life has been successfully hijacked by my own dog. I am highly trained in the art of fetching tennis and sharing half my snacks. I love clocking in serious miles on long walks, and my hands feel empty without a leash in them. Let me join your pet's entourage—they'll get a dedicated walking buddy, and you'll get total peace of mind. By day, I handle my human responsibilities, but when the evening hits and the weekend arrives, I am fully at your pet's service! My availability is locked in for weekdays after 5:00 PM and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This means I am the perfect candidate for that post-work dinner rush or when you're out to Sur for that last minute camping trip. Because my weekend schedule is wide open, your pet gets my absolute, undivided attention. Since I’m coming to your territory, my safety protocols are built around total reliability, trust, and street-smarts. During drop-ins, I follow your exact instructions to the letter—matching your feeding routines, house rules, and weird specific habits perfectly. I am a chronic over-communicator, so you won't have to worry about me disappearing.
