“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☺️”

“Suzanne took great care of my baby Cosmo! She was quick to respond to messages, sent thorough updates, and clearly really understands and loves cats - even my shy boy warmed up to her faster than usual. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter and will book again!”

“Madeline is a wonderful pet sitter and makes me feel at ease that my pets are well cared for when I’m out of town. She also gives my bearded dragon attention and provides a detailed report every time she visits. 10/10”

About: In 2012 my mother started a dog boarding business out of her own home. I was this businesses number #1 (and in a lot of ways only) Employee. We watched an average of 4 dogs a day not including the dogs me and my mother had that were our own and the fosters we were taking care of as well. We closed down the business in 2021 when we moved and now that I have my own place I'm looking to work with pets again (dogs and cats!). I can not board but I can still do walks and sitting. I'd love to meet and get to know your pets. I work weekends so I am not going to be available most Saturdays and Sundays before 6pm. On the flip side I am completely open on any weekday for walking or sitting. I can make any of those days work with your schedule. I won't be able to take care of your pet in my home but I can do whatever is needed of me if I were to take care of your pet in your home. Wether that's crating, specific feeding schedules or making food from provided ingredients, routines for outside and potty time. I want to make your pets experience as close as it I can do your ideal.

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.
About: Hi I am a vet assistant that is trying to help the community and pet parents who love their fur babies as much as I do! I know finding care can be stressful as it requires a lot of trust, so I want to be able to provide that for pet parents and give a peace of mind. As a vet assistant I can keep a closer eye on abnormalities and notice signs for any serious illness, I also have much experience with cats and dogs as I have 6 cats of my own and 2 chihuahuas. I hope to care for your babies and help you guys out! I currently work overnights so I am able to provide care and love to your baby early morning and evening before night shifts. ❤️ Breakfast and dinner with them is my specialty haha All my babies are fully vaccinated and on flea/tick prevention so they won’t transmit any diseases or fleas and I always carry a clean pair of shoes and clothes with me so I don’t transfer anything to your babies.
“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.”

“Grace is amazing! The cats were well loved and taken care of. I got daily reports on how things were going. Even Georgiana who is scared of strangers felt comfortable enough to get some cuddles with her. I’ll definitely use Grace next time I need someone to watch them.”

“As always Danielle took wonderful care our girl Dahlia. Plus she watered our pack yard for us and brought in our mail.

In addition to volunteering at the Berkeley Humane Society where I loved helping out with walks and training, I've also been a proud dog and cat mom over the years which has further strengthened my experience with training and caring for pets of all ages. Currently, I'm the proud mom of Pancho, a sweet 5 year old terrier mix that loves to make new friends!

“Cyvanah was wonderful with my baby boi Hilo. I especially appreciated the multiple photos and summaries of each day from Cyvanah. It put my mind at ease and I looked forward to each update while away. She bonded with my kitton spectacularly and he was cuddling on her lap in no time. She has a way with cats and I would trust Cyvanah with any fur baby of mine. She is professional, punctual and a great communicator.”

About: Hi, I’m Eleanna and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up spending time in my Greek village, I was always rescuing and caring for stray pets. I rescued my own stray kittens, spent time on Greek farms surrounded by dogs and cats, and later fostered and rescued three cats and a dog in the US. I’ve built strong relationships with my clients and have had the pleasure of caring for many pets through Rover. I have experience with all types of doggies like seniors, special needs, anxious and high energy dogs. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, patient, and attentive. I always aim to make both pets and owners feel safe and can have peace of mind while they are away, and I make sure to send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and cared for. I specialize in house sitting and in-home care, so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment and regular routine. This is especially helpful for pets who are anxious, older and I make sure to keep a calm, peaceful environment. I’d love to meet you and your furry family and want to be a person that you can depend on to feel safe and trusting with your fur baby. Schedule: I am currently fully available and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate a lot of extra time, attention, and consistency to your pet throughout the day. I can usually accept request with short notice. I like to see the pet sitting almost as a “vacation” for your pet so they get extra fun and attention, and this also helps keep them happy if they have separation anxiety and miss their owners. I specialize in house sitting and in-home care, so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment and regular routine.

My goal is for your pet to feel safe, calm, and loved, and for you to feel at ease and trust that your pet is in good hands.
Rancho San Antonio pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sam was awesome! I appreciated her attentiveness during the meet and greet, and she took great care of my cat Ella during her drop in visits. She took lots of pictures and provided a thorough update of what my cat was up to during her visit. Will definitely rebook!

Alice was great with our two kitties! She was patient and really gave both of them the attention they needed. She is an excellent and prompt communicator - she informed us what she did on her visit and shared us lovely photos of our cats. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will book with again! Thank you Alice!

Charlotte did an amazing job with our cat Ginger during our time away. Very clear and quick communication about anything we needed to know and she was sooo great with our little cat Ginger. Ginger is very needy and she clearly got all the attention she deserves when Charlotte would visit. We even need to come pet her in the living room now because well, that’s how Charlotte did it! Very grateful for her expertise and true passion for animals and will absolutely rebook if we are heading out of town again!

Always appreciate how happy my kitties are when Rachael takes care of them. She sends great action shots of the cats, is thorough about cat box cleaning, communicates well, and is tuned in with the distinct needs of each cat. It’s clear that Rachael really cares for animals, and is easily the most trustworthy pet sitter I’ve had the pleasure working with. Thanks Rachael :)

Lauren has a true magic touch with shy cats. My cat usually disappears the entire time a sitter is in the house, but somehow Lauren knows exactly how to coax her out of hiding. I’m always amazed when I receive photos of my cat calmly roaming around as if nothing’s changed. It gives me so much peace of mind to see my cat relaxed and comfortable in Lauren’s care. My cat is happy, and that makes me happy too. As long as her schedule allows, I’ll absolutely continue booking with Lauren.
