Jason was completely reliable. We trusted him to feed both our cats twice a day, as well as clean the litter box. He followed our instructions and was very respectful and friendly. He even washed the dirty food bowls! We loved getting the updates and photos. Both our cats took to him—our kitten, Stella, totally adored him and looked forward to his visits. What more can you ask for? We’ll be booking him again!

About: I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive. I am available on Mondays until noon, Wednesdays until 1pm, and Fridays from 3pm-8pm. Tuesdays and Saturdays I’m free all day. Sundays I’m not available. I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.

About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover with a few pets of my own, and I’d love to be your neighbor and help care for your furry family members. I’m experienced with reactive dogs who need their space, playful puppies full of energy, and older pups who prefer a calm day of walks and relaxation. Whether you’re working hard, taking a much-needed break, or heading out for an escape, I’d love to keep your pet safe, happy, and clean while you’re away. I currently work part-time in the evenings and have free time during the weekdays (8am–2pm). Since I’m often out and about in the East Bay, I’d love to spend some of that time helping out furry friends and neighbors. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or a quick break in the day, I’m happy to provide care and companionship for your pets—while adding a few extra steps to my own routine! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities—I pay close attention to their needs, keep a steady pace that matches their energy, and make sure every outing is secure and enjoyable. Whether it’s a quick potty break or some extra exercise, I’ll treat your pet like my own.

Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!

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 😍🤩

About: I’m a nurse and lifelong animal lover who’s cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and those needing extra attention like medication or gentle care. With years of experience raising my own dogs and a cat, plus fostering rescues, I understand the special needs and personalities each pet brings. I’m dependable, compassionate, and patient, treating every pet like family. Whether it’s managing medications, offering extra cuddles, or simply providing a calm reassuring presence, I help pets (and plants) feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away I work full-time Monday to Friday, out between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., but I’m an early riser who loves starting the day with walks and playtime. Evenings are for cuddles and relaxing strolls, and weekends are all about spoiling and extra attention. As a nurse, I’m organized and responsible, making sure your pets’ routines and needs come first—even on busy days. I provide loving, reliable care in your home—handling walks, feeding, play, and medications as needed—keeping your pets comfortable and routines steady while respecting your space and keeping you updated.

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

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!

Jiaji is an incredibly caring and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my cat, DeeDee, and kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. One day, DeeDee unexpectedly threw up on the couch, and Jiaji handled everything so responsibly—she cleaned it right away and also checked with me to see if DeeDee needed any medication. Her attentiveness and communication really stood out. You can truly feel her genuine love and care for animal friends. We were very happy to have Jiaji as our cat caregiver while we were away, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.
