“Angelique is the BEST!!! I have an elderly 14 year old Pitmix with high dietary supplement and high care needs. My character-judgung do g took to ger instantly with her loving animal vibe. She was loving, patient and took pics with sweet notes to settle any of my anxiousness about leaving her. She also took amazing care of my shy cat and my mouse. And she did small chores for a minimal fee. Angelique is dependable and when I got home I was so impressed on how she maintained my home and furbabies. We would hire her again as we would look no further!!! Thanks , Angelique 😍🤩”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Vanessa came in a saved the day. She followed our instructions to the letter and she sent photos of our little guy, which put our minds at ease. Vanessa is a caring, pet lover whom we've trust completely. Her customer service is top notch and she's a pleasure to interact with. We'll continue to use and recommend her to others as long as she's associated with Rover.😺”
“Xander has been doing drop in visits each day while I’m at work to be with my Labrador and give him some company and a potty/snack break. It’s been a great relief having Xander’s support! I know my pup is in good hands!”
“Virginia was such a great help to my cats. They are pretty low maintenance and just need some love and attention, and she gave it to them. I will definitely book her again.”
“First time I used Rover and it definitely was a hit! I found Sarah and when I talked to her I felt at ease and knew she was the person to take care of my babies, she took in my cats for 3 weeks when it was originally suppose to be 2. She had no problem working with me and was very flexible when I extended with her. She sent me updates and photos almost every day to show me how my cats were. When I initially booked it was last minute, and I couldn’t appreciate Sarah for being patient and understanding. We worked together on drop and pick up times and also allowed for a late checkout when I picked up my babies which was definitely easier for both of us I would say. She was able to grab certain foods and litter my cats like and use without no problem. To end it all, my cats looked happy when I picked them up, no signs of them looking sad or hurt. Like I said I felt at ease when I first talked to her and she will deff be my go back cat sitter when needed in the future. Thank you Sarah ?”
About: I had my own very cherished Mini Pinscher Leah that passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed the companionship of pets but am not yet ready for a commitment after that grief. I cat sit for my sister regularly, and am looking to be of help to any families/pet owners in my local community whose pets I can treat with care and respect. I am available to walk any dogs after work ends at 6 PM and am happy to have any pets board with me on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and no pets or babies in my home, just myself and two adult roommates. I’m ready to customize my house to be safe and suited for any pet that will be boarding here, and can walk dogs in my neighborhood at any time.
“Jessica was fantastic. This was the first time we've used Rover and it was a relief knowing someone responsible would be looking in on our 2 boys. She even left us a welxome home message that warmed our hearta when we saw it.”
“We are happy to have found Kacie! She’s punctual, responds quickly, and showed a genuine interest in getting to know our fur babies. She paid attention to all the details and I’m so glad to have her looking after our two kitties. I highly recommend Kacie!”
“Ayashe was wonderful and Peanut warmed to her at first sight. Ayashe took great care of her and sent regular pictures and updates which made me feel so much better leaving my cat for the first time with someone else caring for her. I will definitely rebook with Ayashe!”
“We had an incredible experience with our Caitlin in checking in on our kitties! Not only was she consistently communicative, providing updates and photos that gave us peace of mind, but she also displayed remarkable flexibility in accommodating our schedule changes. Our kitties were clearly well-cared for and content upon our return. We highly recommend her services and appreciate the outstanding care she provided. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“We absolutely love having Shiwei care for our two cats! She’s incredibly attentive, always sending detailed updates and photos that give us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear our cats adore her as well and look forward to her visits. Highly recommend her to everyone!”
“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!
“All good here. Darren took care of my 3 cats for 5 days, one of whom required daily meds. Two of my cats are difficult to distinguish and he was very cautious in establishing identity. The house was tidy upon re-entry. Recommended.”

I am very compassionate about animals and willing to take the time to get to know your fur baby. I’m more than welcome to send updates or pictures of your fur baby.
“Felicia took care of our cat while we were gone for two weeks for Thanksgiving/getting married. She was great with our purrbaby! Very responsive, sent us pictures and videos, followed instructions, and we came home to a very happy kitty. She even went the extra mile for us, making sure our house was safe and secure. We really appreciated having her to check up on things for us and we will definitely call on her again when we need a catsitter!”
“Sara was amazing with Obi! Obi doesn’t make friends easily but Sara made it a point to make Obi feel safe and comfortable and they became friends at the end. Would definitely recommend Sara to provide care for your pets 😊”

Meghan M.
“My dog fell in love with Meghan at first sight, even though she's usually slow to warm up to new people. Pepper, my miniature dachshund, is always excited to see Meghan, whether for a walk or an overnight. When I pick her up Pepper is happy and tired. We call Meghan's house a doggie resort as a joke, because it's filled with toys and treats. Pepper's happy and I am, because I know my dog is cared for and loved (not to mention spoiled) when I can't be there. We both trust Meghan and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog person to love and care for their pup when they need help.”
