“Samanta is great! She communicates very clearly and over exceeds expectations! I had a few last minute trips and she accommodated me very well. I would highly suggest booking with her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic and personable. She responded immediately to help get on the same page. I feel like checking in on our cats and making sure they had food and water probably isn’t the most intensive gig, but it required more back and forth than I would have guessed. She easily adapted to what we wanted and our texts back and forth were easy and humorous like we’d known each other already. She went above our admittedly pretty simple requests best of all, our sometimes standoffish cats seemed to be at ease with her from the photos she sent daily. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”
“Thomas has stepped in to help me after my dog suffered a surprise bout of IVDD. When I come home my puppers seem happy and well cared just as if they had been with me all day. I appreciate Thomas's experience with senior dogs and bladder expression. That was really important to me in my search for support. You can't go wrong with this Rover, friends. 12 stars!”
“Jessica is wonderful! She sends great photos with the Rover card. To my surprise, I received a photo of my normally shy, skittish cat cuddling up in her lap - it made me so happy! Will certainly rebook. Great communication & I can tell that my cats are well taken care of when I’m away.”
“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.”
“Cathy was great with my kitties. They didn't seem to have missed me too much which always shows they were well taken care of. She sent pics of each visit and kept the feeding and litter areas clean! 🤩”
“Alondra took great care of my dog while I was away for a week with daily walks in a variety of different parks and scenic places. She was super communicative and would highly recommend her!”
About: While you're away, your pup gets to play! I offer in-home dog sitting with a large, secure backyard, daily adventures, and plenty of love and attention. You'll get adorable photo updates so you can see your pup living their best life. Your dog gets more than just a sitter — they get a second home. My base price includes: room service with up to 3 meals per day, administration of up 5 oral medications, 24 hour indoor / outdoor access, daily enrichment - this can be a splash pool or peanut butter kong. Boarding walks add ons can include: one hour dog walk an off leash dog park adventure. Stand alone dog walking: At this time, I am happy to announce that I do adventure walks. An adventure walk is a hike either to Point Isabelle or to Oyster Bay in Hayward, depending on which is closer. These adventures happen with a long lead up to 12 feet long or off leash. Off-leash is only available for dogs with perfect recall gor their non-primary owners. Depending on the condition of your dog, these adventures can last one to two hours. Transportation costs are included in my pricing. Your friend will have free access to roam indoors and outdoors, sit on couches, or lay in the sun all day. If your dog needs a little bit of quiet time, they can have a private room with an air conditioner on hot days. I provide a pet-friendly house designed just for dogs, offering a cozy and safe home-away-from-home experience. With plenty of space to relax, play, and enjoy one-on-one time, your dog will feel loved and cared for. Let me know if you’d like to include off-leash dog park visits for extra fun or if your pup needs medications administered—I happy to accommodate. I will give your dog the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away!
“Sydney popped over on somewhat short notice when we couldn’t quite align on timing with our usual house sitter. She sent lots of great photos and Sawyer was happy to have an afternoon buddy :)”
“Qishu was great! She helped us out last minute on walk/feeding our two pups. She sent lots of great pics and we could tell they were well taken care of even though we’ve never before had a walker come that we hadn’t met prior.”
“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”
“Cindy and Caesar were great with our kitties. They communicated well and performed all tasks asked of them. They even went above and beyond and took our trash bins out for pickup. I would highly recommend them.”
About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

Rancho San Antonio pet parents share their Rover experiences
Artemis has been an incredibly cat sitter for the last two trips I’ve had. I appreciated their warm energy and thorough attention to detail during the meet and greet. My second trip I was off grid without knowing. What could have been an exit inducing situation was made easier because I was confident my fur babies would be well taken care of by Artemis. I would definitely recommend Artemis to anyone looking for an experienced, thoughtful, and well attuned cat sitter!
Becky was the best!! She took such good care of our cats for a week. Responded to a super last minute request right away and was flexible in extending the visits. Went above and beyond. Stinky is super shy and warmed up to her on the first visit❤️ Our pack of gremlins are not the chillest bunch and she was so good with them. Highly recommend. Thank you Becky!!
Zsa-Zsa is communicative and was so thoughtful in her approach to the process—offering a pre-sit meet-and-greet and to learn how to care for my cat. I got pictures and a really-fun-to-read note everyday about the visit that made me feel super reassured! Would absolutely love to work with her again in the future.
Kimberly is truly exceptional! From the moment we connected, her communication has been clear, prompt, and professional. She is incredibly reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure our pup, Baci, is well cared for and happy. Baci absolutely adores her — it’s clear she has a natural way with dogs and brings a calm, confident energy to every walk. As a dog owner, it’s such a relief to know my pup is in such capable and caring hands. I can’t recommend Kimberly highly enough!
Jesse is so lovely. He is warm and caring and instantly bonded with our four cats! We have used him in the past, and we feel very safe leaving our darlings with him. He is communicative, responsible, and even during short visits he stays in contact with photos and updates. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
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.
Thomas has stepped in to help me after my dog suffered a surprise bout of IVDD. When I come home my puppers seem happy and well cared just as if they had been with me all day. I appreciate Thomas's experience with senior dogs and bladder expression. That was really important to me in my search for support. You can't go wrong with this Rover, friends. 12 stars!
