About: I am a big animal loving person and I like to spend time outside and I would love to take your pets on walks to help them release energy and spend time with them! I am a soccer player for a college and I am also a college student. It is hard to find ways to make more money but when I heard about this I thought it was perfect because I love animals and what better way to make money if you love to spend time with animals! I care for the pets the way that the owner will want me to, every owner is different so I want to keep that consistent to not confused the pets. On the other hand, my own pets are very spoiled and loved. They are trained but they know they are very spoiled and are treated very good. They are living their best life!

About: I’ve never known life without a pet until a few years ago, and every opportunity I can to love on and care for an animal is one I take with joy. I’ve cared for excitable dogs and managed reactive ones, so any energy your pet brings is one I will look forward to getting to know. I work from 7-4 weekdays, so I’m flexible to support with an evening walk or to take care of a lower maintenance pet on weekdays. Weekends I’m available for walks or house sitting as needed. I’m happy to foster the environment that supports your pet best! I’ve experience with highly playful pets, as well as pets who need attention. I will give your pet the most attention and care I can.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I'm a caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether you're heading to work, taking a vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. In addition to my personal experience, I worked at PetSmart, where I was responsible for caring for all of the animals on the sales floor. This included feeding, cleaning habitats, monitoring their health and behavior, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for each day. That experience taught me the importance of paying close attention to animals, recognizing when something may be wrong, and providing consistent, attentive care. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully and provide individualized care. I'm responsible, detail-oriented, and someone you can count on to treat both your pets and your home with respect. I understand how important communication is when you're away, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I strive to create a calm, positive experience so they can stay happy and comfortable in their familiar environment. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I've owned dogs my entire life, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets get plenty of love and attention. Additionally, I have owned English bulldogs, so I am very familiar with any special medications your pets may need. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to! I am currently a student at Foothill College, so when I'm not in class, my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to provide morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care depending on your pet's needs. I understand the importance of consistency in a pet's routine and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special routines or preferences. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of exercise and attention, and a clean living space. I also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it.
“Ran was amazing — great communication, patient with our tricky parking, and genuinely caring with the cats. Loved the photos (especially the big LC shot!). She even spotted a piece of glass on the floor and handled it thoughtfully — checked the area, confirmed everyone was safe, and kept me in the loop. That's the kind of rover you want looking after your pets.”

I’ve been offering my services on Rover and have had such wonderful experiences getting to know all kinds of dog personalities.

My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and right at home during their stay. Some things I would love to know about your dog: Walking schedule Diet needs / allergies / medications Sleeping arrangements Crate trained or not Spayed or neutered Any aggression concerns (with humans or other pets) Anxiety, barking habits, or other behaviors Here are a few things to keep in mind when booking with me: * I will be giving my full-time attention to your fur baby, including to make sure that they are walked, fed, and I will send you updates and pictures * I accept drop offs as early as 7:30/8:00 AM *I accept pickups as late as 8PM * I require all doggies who stay with me be on flee preventative treatment* I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

About: Hi folks, I’m Hannah. My pets are a part of my chosen family. They each have their own quirks, preferences, attitudes, and personalities. I’d be honored to bring your furry family member into our lives! I’ve had many different pets over the last 20 years: parakeets (Lucy and Ricky), gerbils (Louis and Clark), dogs (Lilly, Iggy, Olive, Stella, Dexter, Pearl), and cats (Charlie, Baby Boy). We love to walk and hike throughout the bay area, run the beach, teach tricks, sunbathe in the yard, play with the very many (too many!) toys strewn about our house, and cuddle in front of the fire pit. I’d love to know more about your pet to ensure they are safe and happy and that I’m providing the best kind of care catered to them. Are they shy? Friendly? Aloof? Nervous? Mischievous? Do they need a little more love to make sure they are comfortable? How many daily walks is ideal for their energy level? Do they get specific meals and meds to protect their health? Do they have a history of reactivity? Favorite spot for scritches? Etc. I’m also happy to provide specific care based on their needs, senior pups and cats welcome! Thanks so much for reading 💕🐾 We live in San Mateo and I’m currently working part time in San Francisco on M/W/F mornings so I have a flexible schedule to care for your furry family. I am also open to working out a pick up and drop off schedule if that is something you’re interested in. We have a lovely fenced yard for our pups to run around and frolic in, as well as a doggy door so they can go out at their leisure. I like to take my dog on 2 walks a day (gotta check their pee-mails!) and there is a dog park within walking distance of our house should your pup prefer to run around freely. I do not crate my dog, so if that is in your routine, please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Above all I believe fresh air, engagement, and enrichment creates the happiest environment for our pets. I’d love to welcome yours into our family ❤️
“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that with Shannon, your pets will be in great hands. She was absolutely wonderful with out kitties! Not only she carefully followed all our instructions, she truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable and happy. Throughout our time away, she was in regular contact with us providing thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties, and of course lots of photos. She was also flexible with her time, for example when one of our kitties required extra attention. It was a great relief to know that our kitties are well taken care of, so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Shannon and would not hesitate to hire her to look after our pets in the future.”

“I highly recommend Chamu for anyone who needs a trusted sitter and want to feel reassured that their pet is well taken care of. I booked Chamu as a drop in visit during my long trip. I was hesitant because my cat is very hesitant when it comes to strangers and I had not booked any service through Rover before. Normally my cat gets visitors but due to holidays there were nobody around, so I had to turn to Rover for last minute drop in bookings. Both times I booked Chamu she was very responsive and very accommodating. The visits themselves were very short, but she did everything and more. She refilled his food and water, tidied up his litter, and played with him. She also sent me pictures, and I was happy to see that he was very receptive to her. Overall, I am very happy with my experience with her and would highly recommend her. I would definitely book her again if I ever need to.”

About: We are an animal loving family. We love and have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, ferrets, birds, and more. From when I worked at a vet hospital at 14 to helping my daughter rehome the rats she bred during the pandemic, there is little I haven’t faced in animal care and husbandry. I can feed and care for any animal you want me to care for as long as you give me directions for their care. I work part time and spend the rest of my time making sure your animals get exercise and fun. Have been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I am happy to make visits or stay overnight in home as needed. I like being company for animals and keeping them comfortable when you are gone.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
