“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”

I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get the attention they deserve. Although I’m new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of experience with dogs and will treat your fur baby like family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands! I work weekdays from 8 AM to 3 PM, so I’m generally available for pet care in the late afternoons and evenings during the week. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling.

I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is in caring and responsible hands!
“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”

About: I have volunteered and helped cats at the Peninsula Humane Society since 2016. I have experience with socializing shy cats and kittens. I have also been a cat mom for the past two years and neighbors have asked me to watch their cats as well. I have experience with administering medication orally and through injections. I also have experience socializing, playing, and walking small to medium sized dogs! I currently live in San Bruno and work full-time in San Mateo so I will always be nearby for a visit to your pet. I am entirely free on weekends so I may be able to drop in for a visit earlier in the day. I am always diligent about following guidelines set aside for me. I understand that every household is different, so I do my very best to learn and adapt to any changes as needed.

“Meghann did a great job with our cats while we were away for a short weekend trip. She was communicative, friendly, timely, and we could tell she loves taking care of animals. Would definitely use her again.”
About: Animal lover. Grew up with cats and dogs. Have 2 Pom Poms on premise. Have a fenced backyard. Have my own company. CPA and CFA. I work from home everyday. Taking care of my 12 year old pom is quite easy. I would love to help taking care of your pets too. I have one 12 year old Pom. He can keep your pet company if boarding with me. I can feed your dog with food/prescriptions provided by you.
“Stephanie was absolutely perfect. We were really anxious about leaving our crazy pup alone with a stranger but Stephanie made us feel really comfortable. She clearly understands dog behavior and had our pup napping at her feet in no time. She was highly communicative, sent lots of photos, and was very friendly. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be booking with Stephanie again!”
“Brianna was an amazing pet sitter for my two pet bunnies! She communicated all throughout my trip, sent lots of photos, and I knew the bunnies were in good hands. Highly recommend and booking again in the future 😊”
“Jie provided excellent care for our 15-year-old medically fragile senior kitty, who has several health conditions that require daily medication. We booked her to visit our cat three times daily to give her food, meds, litter box scooping, and quality time (cuddles, pets, scritches) while we were out of the country. During these check-ins, she sent us lots of pics, videos, and detailed notes about our cat’s appetite, hydration levels, medication reactions, and litter box activity. When she noticed concerning symptoms (decreased appetite, peeing outside the litter box) she called me immediately to let me know and discuss our options. What impressed me most was her ability to give our cat her daily medication (oral pills) in a way that was quick and low-stress, which did not result in any hisses or bites. I can tell she truly loves cats and cared about our kitty’s well-being as much as we do. We felt reassured that our cat was in good hands with Jie, and we’d definitely book her again for future cat sitting.”
“Jaron! Wow! Remarkably professional as well as my kitties best buddy now! Jaron cared for our Blu Kitty as if he had known her furever! I highly recommend Jaron for all your pet watching needs. Trust worthy and loyal! Thank you Jaron!!”
“Marisela has been great with our dog Mochi. We usually have her come by for 30 minute drop ins while we are in office or out for extended periods in the day. Communication is great and she always comes as scheduled and provides several photos. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have always enjoyed being around pets and have been taking care of dogs and cats, on a regular basis, for the last 4 years. I currently work for a big box retailer that provides daycare and overnight stays. I currently work part-time, so I am available to spend quality time with your pet while you are away. I’m available for drop-in visits or to take your dog out for walks throughout the day. I have experience handling dogs and cats of various ages, personalities, and needs. I’d love the opportunity to build a trusting and lasting relationship with your pet.
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and have experience with all breeds and sizes, from small puppies to large dogs. I'm patient, dependable, and treat every dog like family. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or providing lots of attention, I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am currently working from home, and have the flexibility to step out to take care of your loved ones. I have my own car to get around as needed. I have a fenced yard for my two dogs as well as crates for them to sleep in. Both dogs are very friendly just young and a little crazy.
About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Bruno
Brittany is amazing! She cared for my anxious senior dog on very last minute-short notice and was extra sweet with her, giving her all of the extra love and attention that small senior dogs require! Brittany is quite the animal whisperer, because both my cat and dog immediately warmed up to her and wanted all of her attention, which is not the norm, and after she left, my anxious little babe was as calm and peaceful as I have EVER seen her!! 5 stars! We will definitely keep Brittany as our top choice for dog visits!
Andrea is a wonderful cat sitter! She is gentle and patient which helped my cat feel at ease. He warmed up to her very early on, which was a good sign. She’s very responsible, which is reflected in her cards and communication. I really liked my experience with Andrea and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Blessy was fantastic! I booked a sitter for 2 guinea pigs very last minute and she was available for both a first meeting and the dates I requested. She was incredibly responsive and had great communication. I even made a mistake while booking and she pointed it out to me and clarified! She was incredibly sweet and attentive, sending me updates and keeping the piggies happy. She also cleaned more than I asked her to! Would definitely rebook with her. Thanks Blessy!
Sarah has been so wonderful!! She’s so patient and really lets my anxious dog set the pace. He started off very nervous and has warmed up to Sarah overtime. Her detailed summaries and photos are also so helpful and give me so much peace of mind. I will be booking with her again!
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!
Katrina is beyond amazing!!! She is so good to my fur babies and my chickens like her own babies. She updated me with pictures and staying longer beyond the required time to play with them. I feel so relieved and able to enjoy my time away without worry. I will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the future. Thanks, Katrina!
I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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 .
