“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.
“Another amazing dog sitting by Kayley!!! The dogs love when she comes to stay to take care of them and its so nice coming back to happy, healthy, and calm dogs after a vacation away! Kayley is great with the dogs and also great at sending updates and pictures.”

“He immediately got along with all of our dogs, and they sat next to him, he was playing with dogs and didn't mind the size of our dogs either. Very well-mannered, thoughtful, and great dog sitter - We will definitely ask him again!”

“I lucked out finding Ian on Rover. This was my first time leaving my dog overnight with someone I didn’t know and, from the very beginning, Ian made me feel at ease. They stayed at my home and took excellent care of my dog while I was away, sending me several pictures and updates every day.”

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”


“Aylia was great! This was our 6-month old Beagle pup’s first experience with a sitter, and it went without a hitch. Our puppy warmed up to Aylia instantly. We will surely use Aylia again.”

“Xander is the best! We’ve already booked him for two more stays. We returned to an immaculate house and a very happy dog:). Our pup is a bit timid and nervous around new people and Xander put her entirely at ease.”


About: I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~ Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :) I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.
“Randall was amazing with my 2 dogs. I came home to two very happy and well taken care of puppers. He sent lots of pictures and updates. My boys took to him right away. He made sure he knew everything he needed to know about my boys before I left. I felt very reassured and knew they were in loving hands with him. I will definitely rebook with Randall anytime I need someone to look after my boys. Thank you Randall, Luke and Clarence obviously had a great time with you.”

“Thiri was great with our high energy puppy Jira and took her to the park a lot, she was very good at sending us updates throughout the day which we really appreciated since it was our first time using Rover. Overall the house was in order when we got back and Jira was happy!”

“Kiansu was great and booking with her was a breeze! She was very prompt with arriving for the housesit and regular walks for my dog, who immediately took to her. She also provided plenty of pictures of them going on adventures around the neighborhood which were super reassuring that my dog was in good hands. She was also a very tidy guest which I appreciate. Strongly recommend Kiansu for your furry friends!”

“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”

“Anna did an amazing job house sitting for our pups for 6 days. She was so good with our senior lab and his needs. She helped our you get pup get her energy out on walks and reached out when there was a house issue so we were able to address it quickly. Our dog who can normally be anxious when we’re not home loved Anna. We’ll happily hire Anna again as our dog sitter.”

“Holly stayed at our home in Woodside with our two terrier mix rescues. Until Holly, we had never left them with anyone besides family. So trust in Holly was critical! After three ‘meet and greet’ sessions to include walking and overall familiarity, we knew she was the right fit our babies. And we were right! Holly kept us posted on their well-being everyday with pictures and comments. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in charge. Not to mention her shining personality and obvious love for dogs. Upon coming home, the home was clean and pups were happy! Couldn’t ask for more. We WILL have Holly again as she becomes part of our little family. Thank you Rover! And thank you Holly!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, providing companionship, and following their regular feeding and care routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and happy while they’re away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care. As a college student home for summer with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Because of this, I feel that I’ve built up 10 years of experience. But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions! I do have a day job, so I would do check ins throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon. I do offer overnight stays but the same check in system will apply due to my schedule. I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.
About: I spoil the pets I care for. Your dog gets exercise and genuine companionship. Your cat gets a safe, entertaining environment where they’re actually the center of attention. I’ve loved my own Maltese Poodle for six years and my British Shorthair cat is basically my child, that’s the energy I bring. No rushing, no distractions. Just real care that makes your pet feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates pet sitting requests. For weekday bookings, I require a minimum of three hours notice. For weekend appointments, I ask for twenty-four hours notice to ensure I can give each pet my full attention and plan accordingly. My work schedule allows me to prioritize pet care commitments, and I’m selective about the bookings I take on so I can deliver reliable, quality care every time. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. In my home, I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards — doors and gates are always checked, and I make sure any potentially harmful items (foods, plants, cleaning products) are out of reach. I treat every pet like they belong there, giving them time to settle in at their own pace. In a client’s home, I follow their routines and instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any quirks or preferences their pet has. I believe the best care comes from consistency and attention, so I stay observant and responsive to how each animal is feeling throughout my visits or stays. I always leave the home the way I found it (or better), and I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident while they’re away.

Angelica was efficient, friendly and very loving to our two Brittneys. One is young with lots of energy and one is old and is more sedentary and she balanced their needs perfectly. I loved that she sent many pictures. It made our time away from our home care free! Happy to act as a reference for her! Jan

Maria was fantastic! After our pet sitter fell through, she was available last minute with only a few days' notice. She watched our dog Shortbread, for 5 days while we were away and she provided regular updates/was super responsive. It was clear from the photos that she and Shortbread had a great time!

Xander was very communicative. He showed dedication and responsibility right from the start and when I returned back from my trip, my apartment and my dog were in pristine condition. I could tell Xander respected my home and loved my pup as if she were his own. Thank you Xander!

Julissa was great when I recently booked her for house sighing my dog. She was accommodating and flexible when I had travel delays. She also sent lots of updates and photos. She also was available and replied promptly to any messages. My dog had a lovely time with her and she left the house very neat and tidy as well. I would love to have her dog sit again!

Kayleen was one of the best, if not the best, cat sitters we've had. Our cat Sparky is our fur baby and very affectionate and attached to people. I could tell Kayleen really delighted in Sparky and provided the companionship that he needed. She took him outside on his cat leash and let him wander around and brushed him out daily, both of which he really loves. Kayleen is kind and reliable and we are truly thankful we met her and look forward to having her watch Sparky again!
Chelsea took amazing care of our fur baby while we were away for spring break and he had the absolute best time! From sunset walks along the Bay Trail to endless cuddles on the couch, he was spoiled just as much as he usually is. On top of the top-tier pet care, she looked after our house as if it were her own. It was wonderful to return to a home that was perfectly tidy and even more peaceful than we left it. We can’t recommend Chelsea enough, she’s a true professional and a genuine animal lover.

Julie Mae was so outstanding I was sad for Munchi when I came home, and Munchi might have been sad too because she spent the first night I was back walking around looking for Julie Mae. Julie Mae is very kind, perceptive, and caring. She also communicates well, and really removed any worries for me while I was gone. She even took Munchi on a picnic!

Laura is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is responsible and asks questions to understand our dogs' different needs. She communicates well with photos and updates. We can easily be away from home knowing she is there to tend to the needs of our two Cardigan Welsh Corgis and our home and land.

11/10 Highly recommend Kiansu! She took care of our cat and dog and she did a fantastic job! Our cat normally doesn’t like sitters but with Kiansu she made her feel so comfortable! She was amazing as well with our little dog Remington She sent us so many pictures during our trip! She was amazing!

Sarah is amazing! She just watched our dogs on short notice, and I was so grateful as I was panicking about having coverage for a last-minute overnight. The dogs love her, and she takes great care of them. I'm sure they get more attention from her while she is at our house than they do from us! I highly recommend her for pet sitting.
