“Jacob is amazing! Very thorough notes and took some amazing photos of my cats. He even got my shy cat out to play. Getting notes and pics from Jacob was a highlight of my day while I was away and it's great to know my cats are receiving excellent care and play time.”
“Melina is great with all of our pets! She kept us updated and sent photos of all four pets for each drop in. My dog loves her and even the shyest cat comes out to see her during her visits.”
“Hannah is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pitbull is fearful and reactive toward people, but within a few minutes of their first meeting, Hannah had Maisie taking treats from her hand and playing fetch. Once she started playing fetch with Maisie, my dog completely ignored me and kept bringing the ball back to Hannah instead of me. Maisie has never done that with other people. I've had Hannah come to the house 3x and it's been great every time. Maisie loves her. Hannah is really easy to communicate with, is always on time and has great ideas about how to work with my dogs. I trust her and her instincts completely.”
“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”
“Lauren was fantastic. I reached out to her pretty last minute before my trip and she responded right away. She instantly connected with Atticus when she came to meet him so I knew he was in good hands. She was also so patient with my issues with building access. Cannot recommend Lauren enough!!!”
“Becky went above and beyond in taking care of our cats. She was incredibly communicative, quickly responded to our cats' many antics, and was attentive to every detail of their care. Because of her great sense of humor, we were excited every time a new Rover card was posted, where her love and care for our cats was apparent. It can be hard to leave your pets with a stranger, but we felt completely at ease knowing that Becky was taking care of them. We would recommend her to all pet parents looking for a reliable and conscientious sitter.”
“Working with Shanley was ideal in every way. She's a quick and clear communicator, she was thorough in our initial meet and greet and in her visits with my cats, and she did a wonderful job caring for them and attending to other details in the house. I will definitely book with Shanley again next time I go out of town!”
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.
“Christine was wonderful with my cat. She was reliable, thoughtful and highly communicative. If you want high quality cat care, Christine is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her! Your pet will be in good hands. :-)”
“As usual, Zsa Zsa took great care of my kitty and left a thoughtful note and lots of photos. Will definitely be booking her again—my cat and I are huge fans!”
About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.
“Above and beyond!! Shelly came in with confidence and compassion, I immediately trusted her to care for our little weirdos. Thanks so much, Shelly, and also those adorable photos!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and now I’m lucky enough to be a dog parent myself. I know how much our pups mean to us - they’re family - and that’s exactly how I treat every dog I care for. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy or taking it slow with a senior who just wants some fresh air and company, I’m here to meet them where they are. I’m comfortable giving meds, sticking to specific routines, and picking up on each dog’s unique quirks and needs. Your dog will be safe, loved, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I do freelance work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to fit in regular walks throughout the day. I love getting outside, and having a dog by my side makes it even better. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I can easily build it into my day and give them the attention and exercise they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure and cared for. I’m respectful of your home, clean up after pets, and always keep you updated with messages and photos. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.
About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.
“My cat Walter usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he took to Cameron almost right away. Cameron did a great job of making sure Walter was played with as well as tending to his regular care.”
“Anna and Kevin took great care of our 2 cats. We were new to rover and they helped us through the process and made us feel more at ease. We particularly appreciated their daily updates and efforts to engage our cautious boys. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Gina was so good with my kitties! She’s clearly really comfortable around animals. She sent lots of updates & followed my requests to a T. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Gina!”

Piedmont pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot recommend Lexi enough as a cat sitter! From the very beginning, it was clear that Lexi genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. My cat, Astra, is not always the easiest to care for as he can be shy and a little picky about who he warms up to but Lexi immediately won him over. Lexi goes above and beyond to make sure Astra feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while I’m away. Every time I come home, I can tell Astra has been well looked after and is in a great mood. One of the things I appreciate most is how attentive Lexi is to Astra’s needs. Whether it’s making sure Astra eats well, gets enough playtime, or just feels calm and secure, Lexi handles it all with so much thoughtfulness. They always gives me updates, which gives me total peace of mind knowing that Astra is in such capable hands. Lexi is also incredibly flexible and reliable, which has been a lifesaver for me more than once. If I’ve needed to make last-minute changes or had unexpected travel plans, Lexi has always been willing to adjust and help out without hesitation. That level of understanding and dependability is so rare and so appreciated. On top of all that, Lexi is just such a friendly and positive person. It’s clear that this isn’t just a “job” for Lexi, it’s a genuine passion. I feel 100% confident leaving Astra with Lexi, which honestly says a lot, because I’m pretty protective of my cat! In short, Lexi is literally the best cat sitter ever. I trust them completely with Astra, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Lexi is the one.
Kiara was awesome! When we arrived home from our trip, I could tell our cats had been well taken care of. Kiara took lots of pictures when she visited to reassure us our kitties were okay. She was easy to communicate with and was even willing to water my plants. Thank you Kiara!
Emily was a good communicator and overall amazing petsitter with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for almost 2 weeks. My kitties are pretty shy, and she was so great about letting them warm up to her and took such good care of them. One of my girls got a bit sick while I was away, and while I was on such a different timezone, Emily called a vet and followed their advice to keep an eye on her. Thankfully kitty was feeling better the next day, and I'm so grateful for Emily handling it so well!!
Kimberly checked in on our cats multiple times during an extended trip abroad. She spent plenty of time with our cats and always sent photo updates. She was very responsive and professional. We trust her completely with our pets and our home and will definitely be using her services again.
Juliana did a great job watching my kitties! I hate leaving them alone but she provided very detailed updates and photos that made my stress melt away. She asked thoughtful questions during our meet and greet-I could tell my fur babies were in good hands. Will book with Juliana again!!
Qishu was a great sitter, who bonded so naturally and quickly with our cat Piper! She left sweet and thorough reports for each visit, plenty of cute vids, and great communication throughout. She went above and beyond to make sure Piper got the extra affection she needs while we're away. Thanks for taking such good care of our sweet P!
Sarah was such a great sitter! She was attentive during the meet and greet and clearly demonstrated her comfort with felines, especially when approaching sassy and slightly aloof kitties like Maddie. I felt comfortable leaving Maddie under Sarah’s care and appreciated her thoughtful updates and timely communication. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter and will not hesitate to hire her in a future 😸
Emma was great. We had to take my mother to the Dr on short notice and needed care for her dog, who, because of a seizure disorder can’t be left alone. Emma was thoughtful, professional, and communicative. Francis had a fun, got his meds on time, and we received regular updates on how he was doing. Thank you!
