“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
About: I have 10+ years of pet and house sitting experience. I am a lover of all pets, whether they are cuddly or more of the silent observer type. Lots of availability and range of coverage location, so I am here to support you with your needs in watching your fur baby! I am a graduate nursing student who has a lot of free time during the week and weekends, as I only have class certain days of the week. I find myself with not much to do on my free days and would love to use this time to support pet owners while they are away from home. I am very attune to the pet’s routine and try to stick to this as much as possible, as I know they are missing their routine with their owners so much already. I love to spend quality time with the pets that I am watching, whether this involves taking them on long walks, visits to the dog park, or providing many pets. For house sitting, I am a thoughtful guest who keeps spaces clean and respects the client’s home. In the past, I usually bring my own meal-prepped food so that cooking in the home is not necessary other than to heat items up.
“Dennis did an awesome job caring for our special needs dog who suffers from DM. Our dog needs the assistance of a wheelchair for mobility, and Dennis took on the challenge confidently- with patience and understanding. He sent plenty of pictures and updates, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend!”
“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Elisa was so amazing with our pup, and our pup seemed incredibly comfortable around her as well! They had so much fun together for a 3-day stay at our house, including 2 big hikes & multiple fetch sessions in 3 days! Elisa was very attentive to Roxy's needs, took notes on our instructions, and was conscientious & responsible. Elisa is an excellent communicator and sent entertaining and informative daily updates complete with adorable photos and video. It's clear Elisa genuinely adores dogs. I can't imagine a better pet sitter! We are so grateful to Elisa for taking such good care of our pup & hope to work with her again soon!”
“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Charlii was wonderful! Kept us posted on how our pup was doing, as well as made sure he was warm and cared for during the cold wonder days. Highly recommend her to watch your precious fur balls!”
“Elise came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and she did not disappoint! She was great with my two pit bull mixes, who warmed up to her immediately, and she dealt with their anxiety and other quirks like a true pro. I came home to happy pups and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for better. Would hire again and recommend 10/10.”
“Meshaal was a wonderful dog and house sitter! He has a calm demeanor and is very professional. He took excellent care of our senior dog who has some health needs and took care of all his medications with no issues. He also promptly responded to all our check in messages. Our dog loved Meshaal and and was crying when he left! Meshaal also left our house better than we left it. Looking forward to rebooking with Meshaal again in the future. Would definitely recommend Meshaal to others!”
About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“Gabrielle was perfect. We were gone two weeks and she allowed us to be so at ease the entire time. She took great care of our Doberman and house. Gabrielle texted photos and videos each day and consistently communicated. She clearly cares about animals as our dog seemed to enjoy every moment with her and her dog. She’s conscientious, attentive, responsible, consistent and nice. We are lucky to have found her.”
About: You can count on me for your pet's timely feeds, enriching play, attentive snuggles, and mess clean-up. Pets are like family, and it's important they receive the care they deserve. I am currently enrolled in school to study for my degree, your business will help pay for my future! I make sure to keep your pets needs centered during my time with them, and will balance coursework with pet sitting. If my living space isn't organized, my mind isn't. Cleanliness is that important to me. I will keep your place tidy and make sure to leave it the same way you left it. If you have specific care instructions for your pet and home, please over-communicate to me and I will work with you to uphold those standards.

She is very attentive to the details of his care that are important to us including his feeding schedule/portions and litter box maintenance as well as play and enrichment. She makes sure to arrive according to schedule to ensure that Liam’s routine is maintained with consistency and without disruption. She also makes sure to spend lots of time playing and snuggling with Liam and giving him lots of love and attention. She is very communicative while pet sitting, sending photos and updates to provide us peace of mind while we are away. Kirstyn is a very reliable and loving pet caregiver and has always proven that we can trust her fully with Liam.”

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Eggs Benny! From the very beginning, Marian impressed me with her attentiveness and professionalism. She took the time to do a thorough meet-and-greet, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood all of Benny’s little quirks. While I was away, she went above and beyond to keep me updated with regular messages and the photos, which truly put my mind at ease. It was so clear that Benny felt comfortable and cared for by her! Marian is not only responsible and trustworthy, but also genuinely loving toward the pets she looks after. It’s rare to find someone who combines such reliability with so much warmth, and anyone lucky enough to have her care for their pet will be as grateful as I am!
Jessica is such a delight and was an amazing cat sitter when our original sitter had to cancel very last-minute. She was incredibly patient as we walked her through every little detail of our spoiled cat’s life, asked great questions, and of course/most importantly, took amazing care of our cat while we were away. Lulu is a domesticated street cat - she’s indoor/outdoor and prefers outdoor when we’re not around. Jessica managed to get her inside at night, sent lots of updates, and put up with her meowing. Our home was pristine upon our return. Will gladly book again. Thank you Jessica!
Jade was a wonderful caregiver to our three beloved pets. It was incredible how quickly our dog and two cats took to her as evidenced by the immediate lap sits occurring on her first day. And the gifted mouse by the cats the next day. We couldn't be happier, the house was cared for and pets very happy to have Jade as their new friend!
We absolutely recommend Diana as a sitter and would have her again. From our initial meeting to the moment we returned home, we had good communication and quick/easy resolution of any questions. Our senior dog, Diesel, took to her immediately and was in good spirits when we returned home. The photo and video updates and detailed messages were a wonderful touch. We could see Diesel was not just being cared for, but truly loved and enjoyed. Our sitter maintained his routine, including adjusting to his slow pace and chill time in the yard. Coming home to a spotless house was the cherry on top. Plants were thriving, mail was neatly organized, and it was clear our home had been treated with the utmost respect and care. Anyone would be lucky to have such a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring person looking after their precious pets and home.
Charlii really stepped it up this time. Our dog had an injury and became medically complex right before we left for a non-changeable vacation and she literally nursed him back to health better than we were able to! It completely changed the vacation knowing we basically had a doggie nurse at the house. She handled meds/PT all on her own. Incredible!
Alison is absolutely wonderful! She took such loving care of our two dogs, and we could tell they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and trustworthy. We came home to happy pups. I live in the San Diego area and I am sad that Alison doesn’t live closer to us, but will definitely ask her to sit for our pups next time we’re in San Francisco! We would recommend Alison to anyone looking for a caring sitter—she’s the best!”
Aman is quick to reply and very communicative. It's clear our pit bull, Munchie, loves spending time with him, which puts our dog parent nerves at ease while we're away. He takes the extra time and effort to bring her out and about to other parts of town for a diversity of walks, which we appreciate because car rides are one of Munchie's favorite activities. With Aman, you'll come home to a happy and healthy dog.
Alix did an excellent job taking care of Cassie. She was prompt and friendly and very responsible. When our plane was delayed, she was very sympathetic and stayed longer than requested to make sure our dog, who has separation anxiety, was not left alone too long. We will definitely be using her again.
