“Incredibly diligent, caring and communicative. Went above and beyond, checking water fountains, letting us know how their litter was, and even brought in our trash cans. You can tell Jacob really cares about cats!”
“Zsa Zsa is an extremely conscientious, caring, communicative and responsible catsitter! My cat and I really appreciated having her for a second time. She takes time to share detailed and thoughtful updates about my cat throughout and I can tell my cat loves her by how she cuddles with her each time.”
“Alexis was very sweet. She came over to meet me and Rosie right when we booked the time which gave me the reassurance I knew who would be coming by and that she knew where food and everything would be. I felt better once we met and Rosie had a chance to meet her. And then just before it was time for her to come by when we were gone she reassured me by letting me know when to expect her based on our plan. She sent pictures so I knew she had been by and when we got home everything was great. Rosie had a chance to learn about a new person. Rosie can be a little feisty so it was great to have a calm person spend some time with her.”
“Valerie has taken amazing care of our cat(and sometimes our dog who was not part of the deal). I have no doubt that Pericles will look forward to our going away again if Valerie is here to take care of him”
“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of newborn animals and senior animals. I’m currently home for the summer, so I am fully free! I can pop by your house, go on walks, or keep your pet company at home. I will make sure that your pet feels comfortable with me in their home and spend time playing with them or simply keeping them company. I will also love to go on long walks with your dog if requested!
About: I've been watching critters of all shapes and sizes for over 20 years: cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots, chickens to name a few. I'm comfortable with administering medications (oral, eye, topical) I'm incredibly attentive to the specific care your furry family member needs and very communicative so I can provide the best care possible. I've recently returned to school online full-time, so I'm excited that the flexible schedule allows me to spend more time with your pet. I generally have open availability and can work with varying routines that work best for you and your furry family member. I offer petsitting in your home, so that your pet can feel comfortable in familiar environs. I love how this allows me to meld into your pet's routine and keep them happy! I provide drop-in and overnight services and am flexible to alternate between the two.
About: I have had a dog for 7 years and I have also taken care of two of them in the neighborhood. Walking and sharing with them is a beautiful experience. I'm actually working part-time so, I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 10:00 am Taking care of a dog both inside and outside the home requires security, affection and constant responsibility, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are always covered.
About: Hi, I routinely run lake Merritt on the weekdays and weekends. Luna (the corgi) can not run as often as I do, therefore I’m looking to support another pup on regular 3+ mile runs. If you have a dog that needs to get some energy out reach out to me I usually work 9-5 M-F in San Fransisco or Oakland. Evenings after work tend to be the best time for me to get out and run I’ve lived with dogs and ran with dogs most my life. I’m also very understanding of the difficulty in trusting a stranger with a beloved pet. Please let me know how you’d prefer to do introductions.
“Whitney was an amazing sitter for our cat! We got lots of pictures and updates. She was very flexible and responsive and kind, even though we have a pretty bossy cat. We went on a trip where we had periods of time without signal and we weren’t worried at all. Highly recommend, your pet will be in good hands! :)”
About: I currently do not have pets in my home so all my love and attention will be directed towards your pet! Dogs with separation anxiety do great with me; I love spending time with the pets I sit for and try not leave home (unless I have to) when I'm boarding/housesitting. I have a lot of personal pet care experience living with and looking after pets (puppies, senior dogs, cats/kittens, and rabbits) that belonged to my friends, family, roommates, and my own. I've also cared for both sick cats and dogs. I always maintain dedicated attentiveness, friendliness, and tenderness. I work remotely from home, so your pet will definitely receive a lot of attention, supervision, and care throughout the morning, day, or evening. I really value the time I spend with animals, so I usually almost always stay home when I’m sitting for a pet. Being active and going on walks/hikes is already part of my daily/weekly routine—furry companions would only make them better! I'm definitely a homebody most days, so your pet will have constant companionship and attention. I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment near many public parks and trails. I can provide all pet essentials and feed, walk, do enrichment activities, pet/cuddle, and play with your pet. I've also had experience administering pet medication. I can crate your dog if needed.
About: I got my first dog as a young girl and have loved to care for all animals ever since! I grew up taking care of my dog and cat and do animal volunteer work in my free time. I’ve cared for big, small, young, and old pets and I love them all. I care for animals with love, loyalty, and respect. I currently live with my boyfriend and our cat, Ms. Kitty Dorothea, an ex-stray from our college town. To still foster my love for dogs without having my own anymore, I love being a Rover dog walker and animal volunteer whenever I can! I take care of pets with integrity, love, and respect, to the animal and the owner. Working with animals has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and animal/human safety.
“Amila Masic C. went above and beyond in providing care for our cats, Champ and Jagger. When our prior cat sitter had to cancel last minute, Amila volunteered to fill in despite the extra challenges of securing our house key and was proactive in contacting Rover. In what was a stressful moment, given that we were already out of town, Amila saved the day. During the multiple days of care, Amila provided the utmost care and love for our cats and was helpfully communicative throughout the process. We were happy to return to cats who has been well cared for and an apartment whose floors were immaculately clean—no easy task with two cats and three litter boxes. We highly recommend Amila as a reliable, trustworthy, communicative cat sitter who will lovingly care for and look after your cats and your place.”

Kye O.
“I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kye watching my sweet, elderly pup Lulu. Kye has a gentle, warm demeanor with animals and people alike, and Lulu (who is normally quite shy and skittish) quickly grew to love spending time with him. He is communicative and responsive, has no problem handling Lulu's intense medication schedule (including administering topical eye medications three times a day), sends me cute pictures of my pup throughout, and always leaves my house even cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Kye to watch your pets, they will be in great hands.”

Helia F.
“Helia has a great love for her pets and animals in general. I adopted a cat and she helped me take care of the cat and gave advice to me since I had never had a cat before. She is very loving and passionate about animals. She has been helping to take care of a group of cats that live in a downtown Los Angeles warehouse and loves to interact with any animal she sees. She has found homes for stray cats and is a true dog lover!”

Michael saved our trip when he stepped in after our pet sitter (from another platform) cancelled five days before our departure. Between a family member and Michael's drop ins, we were able to cobble together a schedule to meet our pet care needs. Upon meeting Michael, we could immediately sense how comfortable and adept he was at handling Sky, our 100lb American Bulldog, and caring for two persnickety senior cats. We felt at ease with his calm demeanor, knowledge and experience with cats and dogs. He was easy to work with and flexible to accommodate our family member's changing work schedule. We found happy and healthy pets when we returned home. Thank you, Michael, from the bottom of our hearts.
Elsa took care of both our cat and dog while we were away. She was professional and attentive to every detail and even came by in advance of our trip to meet our pets and family. This put us at ease because we were hesitant to use pet sitting services. She was warm, friendly and both of our pets took to her quickly. If you’re looking for a top notch pet sitter, I highly recommend Elsa.
Tara did an awesome job dropping in and taking care of our cats while we were out of town. We met her before we left and knew we could trust her! Our cats were in great hands! We loved the photos that she sent and how clean the litter boxes were when we returned! We would definitely hire her again!! Thank you so much, Tara! 😻😻
