“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.”
“Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.”
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
About: I have been walking other dogs for two years now and my own for 8 years! I have worked with senior dogs and I am very good at knowing when they need a break. I am very passionate about animals and their wellbeing! My sister is a veterinarian, so I know a lot about dogs and their behavior! You can trust me to give your pups walks filled with memories and love! As long as your dogs are with me, I will always ensure that they are healthy and happy! I currently go to college full time, but my schedule is flexible for walks! I am available Monday-Sunday during different times in the day and am willing to work with your schedule as long as you’re willing to work with mine. I will always make sure that whatever walk I book, I make time for and plan accordingly. I currently only do walks, however, I have had two dogs myself one being young while the other was a senior. I made sure to care for them both equally in the ways that fit them best. Because one was 4 and the other was 9, my senior girl slowed down more, so I allowed her to rest whenever she needed during exercise. I make sure to keep the younger animals busy and stimulated at all times! I love all animals so much and only want the best for them! I make sure to keep the dogs I work with safe. I make sure to always have plenty of water, treats if needed, and poop bags during our walks. I also like to bring toys if we are going to an area where they can play! I am pretty well educated as a pre-vet student.
“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”
“Sabrina was a wonderful and communicative sitter for my cat. She was very thorough during our meet & greet and left me feeling comfortable with leaving for vacation. Will definitely book with Sabrina again in the future!”
About: I have two years of daily, hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Kylie. She is energetic but can be shy in unfamiliar situations, so I have learned to read a dog’s body language, give them time to adjust, and build trust without forcing interaction. In addition to caring for Kylie, I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs when they are away. This has given me experience following different feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I am patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I will treat your dog with the same care I give my own and provide regular photo and message updates while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to plan my day around pet care and provide consistent attention rather than rushing between visits. I am generally available on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the booking. I will confirm my availability before accepting each request and make sure I have enough time to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routine. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Before the booking, I prefer to have a meet and greet to learn about each pet’s personality, routine, care instructions, and any special needs. I carefully follow the owner’s directions for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I pay close attention when entering or leaving the home and always check that doors, windows, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure. I will never let a pet off leash or introduce them to unfamiliar animals without the owner’s permission. I respect my client’s home, keep the pet’s space clean, and maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates and will contact the owner promptly if I notice any unusual behavior or health concerns.
“Blessy was great! Super communicative before, after and during the week she looked after my cat. She even did some light cleaning since the litter tends to track so I didn’t come home to cat litter everywhere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Sandra was fabulous! She was very accommodating to a change we made to our vacation and did not hesitate to work with us on that. Easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures as well as daily updates. Special thanks to Sandra for dealing with our sometimes spicy cat. Sandra knew just what to do and made us feel comfortable that both kitty and Sandra were safe! ❤️ We will definitely ask Sandra back next time we are away.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20 years of experience raising dogs from puppyhood to happy seniorhood. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I have two kids (10 and 12) who love to give snuggles and play with dogs, but they are also respectful and experienced with reading cues when a dog needs space. On walks, I'll make sure your pup is engaged, enriched and comes back happy and tired. When boarding your dog, I’ll warmly provide the home away from home they need and send regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am highly communicative and very responsive. I look forward to meeting your pup! I have a flexible schedule, and I’m regularly available for dog walking and drop in visits Monday-Friday. I can board your dog overnight any days of the week or do weekend drop ins or walks with advanced notice. I have a roomy SUV and can pick up/drop off your dog if needed. I have a one story home and a large fenced in backyard. The backyard has a large grassy area as well as a covered deck, a lower open deck and a concrete area. My 85lb 2 year old rescue pup loves other dogs and will provide your dog with lots of playtime and company. My neighborhood is great for walks, and I live right by a large open park. I have experience with puppies, having successfully housetrained three big dogs from 8 weeks old. I also have experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs. Our previous labs lived to 15 and 13, with one that had regular seizures in her last year of life. I believe in positive reinforcement training and will make sure to keep up with any training you’re currently working on with your dog during walks and while they stay with me. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes and have a confident yet warm personality that will help your dog quickly get comfortable with me.
“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.”
“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!”
“Elena has been the most amazing sitter every time. We were so grateful for her effort and kindness towards our animals and she truly knows how to make our Pitbull feel happy, safe and comfortable! Thank you so much Elena!!”
About: I grew up with animals such as goats, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and rabbits. I currently have two cats that I’m obsessed with. I have furbaby sat for multiple furbabies in one household which one of whom who had a heart condition that required medication distribution 2x a day. I also helped ease anxiety ridden fur babies by being present, cuddling, create a song and dance number if they let me and taking a ton of photos. Also have had requests to take of care other pet babies such fishes and Guinea pigs as well. I ensure that all furbabies basic needs are met but also their social-emotional wellbeing. Animals require lots of love as they can have a hard time being out of their element. I have unconditional love to provide while their parents can do what they need with peace, ease, and comfort knowing that their fur babies are safe and cared for in a lovingly environment. I am available for doggy/kitty daycare and boarding in my home from Monday-Saturday (fur babies can be picked up Saturday morning/afternoon). If you need a Sunday accommodations I am willing to work with you. I am available Monday-Saturday for walk. will do my best to be accommodating to the pets needs. I am home at the moment as I have recently lost employment. I have the time and love to provide for fur babies as I given already given my time and care for human children while I was employed with child welfare. *PLEASE NOTE: While rover does not require a meet n greets (although highly recommended by them), I DO REQUIRE a meet n greet. This is to ensure that all of our furbabies get along and are safe. Safety is my number one priority. I am willingly to work with your schedule to ensure the meet n greet happens, however after 2 failed attempts to meet n greet, I will have to respectfully decline further services. Thank you and looking forward to caring and cuddles with your furbabies. I live on the top floor of a studio. Condo. My windows are safeguard so no furbaby can escape or be harmed. If there’s a specific schedule that needs to be followed (i.e dietary needs, meds, etc) i will need it in writing what that schedule will look like. I usually will wash all animal dishes prior to meals and ensure there’s adequate clean water supply at all times. I will provide walks, playtime, cuddles and medication(if necessary). I have great communication skills and will provide updates and photos upon request. I am near two parks where the dogs can play and walk while feeling safe.
About: Hi, I have ten years of experience caring for dogs. My beloved Rover (German Sherpeherd and Rottweiler mix) passed away last year due to ailment. He lived for 11 years. I also used to work in Nevada and was taking care of two Chihuahua beauties. Please be mindful of the fact that all dogs were rescue dogs. My Rover was rescued from Oakland. My co worker couldn't afford to take care of the Chihuahuas due to medical bills so I stepped in to help for the year I was in Nevada. Recently, on my vacation in Costa Rica, I managed to rescue a Beagle mix puppy from a construction worker who said he found her in a box on the street!!!! I asked my father in law if he had space for her in his house in Costa Rica and amazingly he agreed. Needless to say, I love dogs and have experience with small and big dogs. My wife, kids, and I share the same love for dogs.
“Cheryll was so warm and caring. I had no worries knowing he would spend some time with my pup. She arrived as scheduled and even stayed a little longer than requested. We will definitely use Cheryll again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Bruno
Hiromi is the best! She is kind, trustworthy, and genuine. She showed care for our cats, Momo and Buddy, as well as their environment. She prioritizes our cat's safety, cleanliness, and wellbeing. She easy to communicate with, reliable, resourceful, and accommodating. We were very fortunate that Hiromi was available during our emergency booking. Will definitely book her services again because of her attentiveness and her quick response to our concerns. Thank you Hiromi for your kindness!
It was our first time working with Sandra, but not the last! She was a pleasure to work with, and our cats loved her (especially our girl cat, she kept climbing on her shoulder!). Very irresponsible, plenty of pictures, and great communications. Thank you, Sandra!
Andrea did such an amazing job caring for my two senior, fussy kitties. She is friendly, progressional and kind. The updates she provided me during my trip helped me feel like they were in good hands and I didn’t have to worry. So glad to have found her and I would highly recommend her for any of your pets.
Outstanding! I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. She looked after our cats for three weeks and each day gave them excellent care with detailed reports and photos. She outfoxed an invading ant colony, offered to do laundry where cats had sickup-ed, cleaned floors of accidents, brought extra treats, supplies and litter from home.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a San Bruno stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
