“Joey was fantastic with our three month old puppy! We are new puppy parents and both nurses so we work long shifts. This was our first time leaving our new puppy home while we both worked a 12 hour shift. She came 3 times, for an hour each time and provided tons of updates. She reinforced training we’ve been working on and made us feel so comfortable leaving him! Will definitely be rebooking again with Joey!”


“Shai did an amazing job sitting our disabled, elderly kitty! She followed our routine and Fiona loved her. Fiona doesn't love many people. Shai communicated well and send pics. We will definitely book with her again!”


“Carmen was a fantastic cat sitter for Matilda! I had just moved to San Francisco in November and needed a sitter quickly as I was turning right around leaving for the holidays. Not only is she professional and prompt in her communication, but I could really tell through her daily updates that she was just as detail-oriented when it came to caring for Matilda. I had such a peace of mind leaving Matilda in Carmen's care as I knew she was being loved and cared for. I'm often nervous finding sitters for Cat drop-ins, but Carmen doesn't do the bare minimum just because it's a drop-in visit on a cat. Carmen sent me many photos and videos from each visit and I could tell Matilda trusted Carmen with the pets and her coveted toys. Carmen will now be my go-to sitter from here on out. I can't believe I got so lucky on the first try. Thank you Carmen!”

“Lydia is so amazing - she's been looking after my guineas and rabbits for a while. She's so communicative and clearly loves animals, and my pets adore her - a very great compliment from my shy pets! I can't recommend having her care for your pets enough!”

About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.
“Mick was a great drop in cat sitter. He was quick and responsive and always punctual. Our cats take a while to warm up to people so they didn't develop a close bond with Mick. However, the important thing is they were well fed and energetic when we came back from vacation.”

Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Brooke is an animal lover with a very calm demeanor. She has a wonderful sensibility when it comes to dogs — it shows she used to train them! Poppy loved her immediately. Brooke was thorough in her questions about routine, schedule etc. Brooke is responsible, communicative, and I will definitely be using her again to housesit Poppy and do drop in visits. I felt at ease leaving her in my home with Poppy.”

About: We would love to shower your doggie with love and affection, take them for long walks if they like that, and keep you in the loop on how they are doing. I mostly work from home and will arrange to be at home on days when we are pet sitting. My 10-year-old kid is also very excited to care for your dog with me. The yard is fully enclosed. We have a 14 lb little rescue dog who is very friendly and avoids trouble. Hopefully they will be best friends.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and have hands-on experience training and caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I currently have two dogs of my own, a 14 year old Pekingese and a 8 year old Husky, which has given me daily experience managing both small and large dogs with very different needs and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and active or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable providing safe, attentive care, exercise, and companionship. My background with dogs big and small allows me to adapt to each pet's unique routine and help them feel comfortable and well cared! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pets lots of attention, love, playtime, and exercise. I'm committed to making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way! My number one priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I understand that every pet adjusts at their own pace, so I give them the time and space they need to build trust and feel at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet companionship. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while helping them feel safe, relaxed, and happy in their familiar environment.
“Genesis took great care of my cat while I was away for the holidays, arrived on time, sent photos, and made it much easier for me to travel without worrying about my cat while I was gone. Would recommend. Thanks!”

About: Hi there! I'm Diana from San Francisco Bay Area and am located in SF. I have several years of caring for many dogs and cats of various ages here on Rover. I have experience with different needs & accomodations depending on canine or feline. You cant pick anyone more gentle and respectful to sit your pets :D About my pet back round: I've volunteered several times w/the San Francisco Society for the prevention of cruelty to Animals. I've walked dogs and pet sit both cats and dogs for several years. I love animals and when I say they come first, they truly do. A lot of pets get anxious being left with someone new whether its a weekend trip or a week stay. Im happy to let you know though, I am very patient and make sure your beloved fur baby is best cared for 🐶🐱🐈⬛🐕🐈 Open availability 7 days a week. Preferably meet & greets first of course to see if your pet and I the sitter are a good match. Pets are like children and I have a back round in childcare so making sure the critters are safe is my priority. Even if it means staying up with them during a holiday involving fireworks ☺️
About: I started dogwalking in my neighborhood when I was 11 years old. I continued walking and caring for dogs when I was 16 by volunteering in my hometown dogshelter. With 18 I finally made my dream come true with getting my trainerlicence and adopting my first own dog I work as an aupair in the mornings and afternoons. During the day und the evenings and every weekend Iam always off what makes it possible for me to spend my free time with my passion, pets. I have a car which allowes me to come to your house and take care of the puppie in his environment, or take the dog out to a park, trails, a river or lakes. It’s also possible to take the dog to my place if needed. A dog who’s with me will never ever miss out any needs. I have an excellent sense and eye for animal language and their needs that they express. I can promis every pet and animal will always be in best hands and care. <3

“Ronja was very communicative and took perfect care of my babies! She followed the instructions to a tee and is very on time and detailed. Thank you for the cute photos and taking care of them!”

About: I grew up loving animals of all sorts and, as a teen, finally convinced my parents to let me adopt a cat. I began to understand the unique companionship that comes from caring for a pet. I started walking dogs for neighbors around the same time and fell in love. I finally adopted a puppy of my own from the SFSPCA two years ago and she is my absolute darling! I am very sensitive to the individual needs of each dog I care for and practice positive reinforcement training. I have worked with puppies and senior dogs alike. Whether your pup needs a rigorous walk to let off some steam or prefers a stroll with lots of opportunities to stop and sniff, I'm all-in! Ask me about training if you need support with leash manners or behaviors at home. I currently work a flexible part time schedule, so I have lots of time throughout the day to meet with your pup! Don't be afraid to shoot a last minute to request my way - if I can help, I will. Meet-and-greets can be arranged ahead of bookings to go over any particulars you'd like me to know. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
About: Hi, I’m Whitney! I’ve spent the last 9 years raising my sweet Dachshund, Lola, and caring for dogs has truly become second nature to me. While I’m planning to add another furry friend to my family soon, in the meantime, I’d love to care for yours and treat them like my own! I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I have a private, fully fenced yard where your pup can safely roam and play, and we’re just a few blocks from Golden Gate Park - perfect for daily walks! For overnight boarding, I always take the time to understand your dog’s personality and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. Whether they’re playful and energetic or prefer a quiet space to relax, I’ll tailor their stay to what makes them happiest. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon! 😊 P.S. Please feel free to reach out if my rates don’t quite fit your budget. I know Rover adds extra fees, and I’m always happy to chat and see if we can find something that works for everyone! I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have constant companionship and plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the entire day. I’m home full-time to provide constant love, care, and attention to your pup! Plus, my sweet 9 year old Dachshund, Lola, would love a new playmate! 😊

“Arillia has a special way of making my kitty feel cared for while I'm away! She feeds and plays with him and he loves to cuddle with her. I always appreciate the excellent communication, updates and photos!”

Eric has been a fantastic cat sitter for our two cats. His communication is excellent, and he always responds promptly to any messages. We also appreciate that he asked thoughtful questions to ensure he could provide the best care possible. Even my skittish cat, who usually hides from strangers, has taken a real liking to him. We will definitely be booking Eric again!

Seng went above and beyond my expectations. I scheduled her to drop in twice a day for my two cats and she showed up on time and was very communicative. She played with and gave them both lots of love despite their different personalities. She genuinely loved them like her own. They were fed, freshly watered, loved on. She even went so far as to do extra chores like water my plants, keep the house tidy, and groom the cats without being asked. She sent lots of photos and videos. They almost seemed disappointed to see me when I came home because she gave them so much attention. Loved working with Seng. I highly highly recommend her as a cat sitter!!

Martha did an incredible job being a dog chaperone for Charlie during our civil marriage ceremony in SF City Hall! We were just doing the quick ceremony then photos for a couple of hours ahead of our bigger international wedding later, but we really wanted Charlie to be involved while not being a distraction to us, the photographer, the officiant, or the few guests we had coming from across the country. Martha did an amazing job keeping Charlie entertained, and she was great at reading the room and knowing when to be close by with Charlie or step away a bit if Charlie seemed to be getting antsy or bored. I didn’t give her any instructions really (definitely could’ve planned better on my part!) yet the whole experience felt smooth because Martha was very attentive to both Charlie’s needs and moods and the overall situation. While Charlie is a huge people person, he can definitely get grumpy and bored being in the same place doing nothing, but Martha kept him in such a good mood that he was smiling and cooperative any time we needed him for pictures. She also took some amazing solo shots of Charlie, which we will treasure forever!

Benjamin was great! It was our first time using Rover and using someone not referred to us. Benjamin was super easy to work with and very communicative. It was our first time leaving our kitty since we moved here and Benjamin was understanding to my nervousness of leaving her and completely reassured me through pictures and his reports. We'll definitely use his services again.

Nadya took excellent care of my high energy puppy and he absolutely loved her. She’s super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos and meaningful updates which was very sweet to be able to see and read while stuck at work missing my baby! She’s an excellent dog sitter—very trustworthy and responsible, I would have her back anytime!

Couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Cameron was a dream to work with from the start and we knew from the first test visit that our cat, Ollie, also liked her. She was responsive, responsible, proactive, and clearly knows cats. Her updates and photos were thorough and kept us assured throughout the trip that Ollie was well taken care of. We would not hesitate to work with Cameron again.
