About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my deep commitment to creating a stress free, comfortable environment for your pup. I'm passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with each dog, and I trailor my care to their unique needs, whether they're energetic or more relaxed. My approach includes regular exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement to ensure they feel secure and loved while you're away. From soothing anxious pups to making sure they get their favorite walks and playtime, I go the extra mile to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and content in your absence. My flexible schedule as a musician and artist working from home allows me to offer reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. Whether it's hosting animals every day or accommodating specific needs, I have the time and space to ensure your pets get the attention they deserve. My routine includes regular play, care, and interaction, all while being adaptable to your pet's individual schedule. I tailor my care to each pet's specific needs, whether in your home or mine. At my home, pets are treated like family, with a safe and comfortable environment, plenty of playtime, and individualized attention. I maintain a routine that includes walks, meals, and enrichment activities to keep them happy and engaged. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to stick to their usual routine as much as possible to minimize stress. I provide the same level of care and attention, including feedings, walks, playtime, and any additional needs such as medication or special instructions. Whether at my home or yours, I focus on creating a stress free loving atmosphere where your pets feel safe and happy.

About: Hi! I’m Ana, a reliable, patient, and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including senior pets and those who need extra attention. I’m comfortable following medication schedules and have experience administering insulin injections as directed by a veterinarian. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention in a calm, clean, and safe home. I only care for one family’s pets at a time, allowing me to provide personalized care and plenty of love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were part of my own family, and I look forward to caring for your furry friend! Pet care fits into my daily routine because I make sure to feed, give water, and spend time with my pet every day. I also include short play sessions or walks to keep them active. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their space, grooming, and checking their overall health. Taking care of my pet is part of my responsibilities, and I enjoy making it a regular habit. In my home, I care for pets by providing them with a safe and comfortable environment, making sure they always have fresh food and water, and spending quality time with them through play and exercise. I also keep their area clean and give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet’s routine, such as feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they might need. I always make sure the pet feels comfortable and cared for, whether they are with me or in their own home.

“Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.”

About: Two for one! My partner and I take an active role in your pet's overall wellness. We like to think we can be there for your loved fur-one when you need to go out of town or simply need a small break from your day-to-day routines. We are a family of fur-lovers and have a couple of years experience caring for dogs of all sizes and special needs. We are big fans of the outdoors and see your pet as our motivation to get up and move! But, we also are huge couch potatoes and will spoil your dog rotten at home with endless amount of snuggles and treats (all depending on your dogs overall needs). I work from home while my partner tends to have a more spontaneous schedule (entrepreneur life) - so we are very accommodating to majority schedules, week days and weekends. We usually keep dogs on the leash at all times unless owner specific requests not too. Once we’ve established a good relationship with them, we’ll usually take them to the dog park at let them have a bit of fun.

“Josephine is the BEST. She is perfect in every way - competent, caring, kind, friendly, nice, responsible, and Teddy Bear lover her so much. He waits at the door and cries for her when she is getting out of her car. I highly recommend Josephine. Thank you Jojo!!!!!”

“Signe has been walking my Doberman for about 3 months now and I couldn’t be happier. I can tell she loves my dog and takes care of him and his “special” personality. Hope to continue to have a long walking relationship with her.”

About: I’m great at following instructions, and love all types of animals. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life except for now, so I’m missing that furry part of my life. I’ve taken animal behavior classes, including canine-specific animal behavior, and have experience with clicker training. I have experience with puppies to senior care. I also have personal pet experience with reptiles, birds, fish, and rodents. Animal welfare is incredibly important to me, and I intend to take great care of your pet. I have flexible work hours at my job which allows me to have availability during the morning or evening during the week, as well as for weekends. I have experience with crating animals, moving them, and also safe keeping for animals in terrariums. I can travel all throughout the bay area for care as well.

“Sophia did an excellent job walking Stokely. She was prompt. She shared pictures. He was excited to see her when she arrived. He was definitely in great hands when he was with her. I would love to have her walk Stokely again!!”

About: I’m a responsible, dedicated animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a former dog owner, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats—giving me a well-rounded understanding of their different needs and personalities. My partner, Heber, is also experienced in caring for pets and is included on my profile. We work together to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and at home. We’re attentive to details, follow care instructions closely, and have experience with basic training, administering medication and always prioritizing your pet’s happiness, health, and routine. We love staying active with pets through walks, park visits, and playtime, making sure they stay happy and well cared for. I believe in taking care of pets as if they were a part of my family because they are yours! I am looking forward to being able to help out you and your pet and meeting a new friend! I currently work full-time but have the flexibility to work remotely on certain days. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to wake up early to feed, walk, and care for your fur baby, making sure they stay on their routine and feel well taken care of. I’m happy to care for your fur baby based on their specific routine and needs. I have experience administering medication, providing walks as needed, and crate care when required. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their usual routine and giving them the care and love they’re used to.

About: Hi there! My name is Nadine and I'm a passionate dog lover/ pup parent with 8 years of experience raising a dog and 2 years experience of fostering dogs. From volunteering at local animal sanctuaries and pup events to working as a professional dog sitter, my love for these furry friends has only grown over the years. I truly believe that dogs are more than just pets; they're members of the family. That's why I'm committed to providing the best possible care for each and every dog that comes my way. Whether it's taking long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, I'm dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved while they're in my care. So if you're looking for a reliable, experienced dog sitter who will treat your pup like their own, look no further! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend soon. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I am dedicated to ensuring that my furbabies and furbaby guests receive the best possible care while in my care. This includes providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, administering any necessary medication, training and giving lots of love and attention. In addition to my daily routine, I also have a weekly schedule that includes regular grooming, cleaning of living spaces, and any other necessary tasks to keep my fur babies and fur guests happy and healthy. Overall, my commitment to providing high-quality pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I ensure that my home is clean, safe, and comfortable for my pets. This includes a clean backyard for them to run, a living room with a rug for them to wrestle, multiple beds, and soft blankets in the bedroom for them to rest and sleep. I established a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime. With lots of toys and access to filtered water. I provide regular opportunities for the pet to go outside in my backyard to get some sun, play, run, and take potty breaks. I keep the pet's living space clean and free from hazards. During playtime, I am present, for tug of war or fetch. Throughout the day I monitor the pet's behavior and health closely, trying to understand their needs.

About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One, Tiga, was rescued from my yard, and the other, Truffle, was adopted from a shelter. I also have plenty of experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. I’ve cared for cats that need medication as well. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can usually fit cat visits into my daily routine. I mainly offer drop-in visits and boarding for cats. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime based on each cat’s personality and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for their space. I carefully follow all instructions, ensure pets are well fed and comfortable, and keep the home tidy. I understand that many cats can be shy, so I take a gentle, patient approach and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.

About: I am new to rover but not new to caring for animals. I have had all kinds of pets throughout of my life! Because of this, I consider myself to be attentive, patient, and empathetic. I know how it can be scary trusting a stranger with your pet but I can assure you, I'll treat them as my own. I am the type of person that points out every dog that walks by in awe! I have experience in basic training dogs & puppies. At the moment I have a Border Collie named Koffee that I co parent with my brother, this taught me how important communication is (this includes sending the cutest pics/vids of them). I also have experience with other animals, such as birds, hamsters, reptiles, bunnies, & fish! Hablo español y inglés! I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I have a flexible schedule and I am available near by on most days. I treat all animals as if they were my own and I absolutely adore my pets so I know how important caring for someone else's pet. I also understand everyone has their own ways of parenting their pets so I respect everyones personal rules. I'd love to know about your pets particular needs or wants!

“Kim is outstanding! You can tell how much she loves dogs and takes great care of them! She is very responsive and we fully trust her to take care of both of our boys!”
