Jasmine went above and beyond with my two cats. One of them is pretty new so they still are separated by a gate in the middle of the hallway and she was careful to make sure to maintain that while I was gone. I also requested extra pictures because I miss them when I am not around and she definitely came through with a lot of pictures and videos which I appreciated so much! I will definitely rebook her if she is available when I am out of town again!

Christine was my kitty's sitter for about 2 years,we would contact her for every visit we needed. Reliable, super responsive, and absolutely won over our shy kitty. We would recommend her to all friends and family if they had kitties and were in need of a trustworthy person to leave the care of their fur babies to. Feel confident in your choice if you choose her. Thank you Christine for always giving us that piece of mind. 🙏🏼❤️

Heleen was incredible!! She was super dependable and I felt at ease knowing my dog was being taken care of. My dog took to her right away and I was very comfortable with having her drop in to feed and take her to the bathroom while I was on vacation. Very happy and will definitely keep booking with Heleen. if I could give 10 stars I would. :)

Diana and Michael were so kind and professional. I felt extremely safe leaving Reptar in their hands. He requires a wagon and to be lifted, so not for everyone, but Michael was able to assist my big/little guy and get him out while I was out of town for the day. Thank you so much for being so kind and sweet to my guy.

Alan was very comfortable and kind to my large dogs which speaks volumes about his abilities. They can be very overwhelming upon first meeting and he was cool as a cucumber. Took great care and played with them while I was away. I Highly recommend him for everyone.

About: My family adopted a small poodle mix who was part of our family for 9 years. I walked her, fed her, and helped with medication in her final years. I loved playing ball with her and training her. Additionally, I helped my mom bathe her. I'm currently looking for a full-time job, so I have more than enough time to check in on your pets and take them on a long walk. I believe that it's important to establish guidelines early on. I want to make sure that the pet needs are met, they are comfortable with me, and you as the owner can trust me to take care of them.

About: Hi there! I'm Alice, a devoted dog lover and caretaker. With 20 years of life experience raising three wonderful pups in the past, dogs have always been an integral part of my life's journey. While my current pup is a cream-colored Frenchie (resides in China currently), I love all breeds and sizes. I started my Rovers journey (once called DogVacay) in my college years and reactivated again recently. since then I've had the pleasure of caring many personalities of dogs, including those with specials needs/wheelchair/senior. Currently located at Bay Area Peninsula, I've opened my doors to offer a loving sanctuary for your beloved fur babies. I am home full-time, your pup will receive round-the-clock attention and affection. 3 walks a day and potty breaks in between. Whether it's a game of fetch in the dog park or a relaxing walk along the trails, your furry kids will be in excellent hands with me. So, if you're seeking a nurturing and trustworthy caregiver who will treat your furry family member as one of their own, look no further! I will be constantly sending picture and videos to you so that you feel comfortable and updated. 🐾 note: must be outdoor potty-trained; no pet at home currently I’m at home full time, so I have the time and attention span to take good care of your pups! I would take three walks a day, dog park occasionally. I have a large house with no other pets or children. I can easily make an area for your dog as his/her own space. We have space for crate.

About: I've had a lifelong passion for animals; from dogs and cats to rabbits and hamsters, caring for furry friends has always been second nature to me. My pet care journey has given me experience in house-sitting, pet-sitting, and regular dog walks, primarily through recommendations from neighbors, friends, and family. My experience isn't limited to specific breeds or ages - I've nurtured both senior dogs and playful puppies! Growing up, I had the pleasure of co-raising our spirited Golden Retriever Husky mix (his name is Skye :). And through the years, I've taken on the rewarding responsibility of training him, witnessing his growth and development firsthand. As I've moved away from my family home, I miss Skye dearly and wish he could be with me from day to day. As such, I'm eager to extend my love and care to your precious fur babies! Join me in creating paws-itively memorable experiences for your beloved pets! While I am currently working in a UCSF research lab, my schedule offers a considerable degree of flexibility. I have the freedom to choose my hours, allowing me the opportunity to prioritize caring for your beloved pets. Whether it's enjoying the outdoors or spending quality time with furry companions, I cherish these moments during my spare time! Typically, mornings and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends, align best with my availability. However, I remain adaptable and open to accommodating your needs whenever possible. Your fur babies deserve the utmost love and attention, and I'm eager to provide just that! I approach pet-sitting with the same level of care and responsibility as if it were my own home and pets. Prior to taking on the role, I make it a priority to inquire about any specific needs or preferences your pets may have, ensuring I provide them with tailored care. Rest assured, I am committed to maintaining a clean, respectful environment in your home and towards your pets. You can rely on me to follow any instructions diligently and to handle any unexpected situations with care and professionalism.

About: I have been surrounded by animals all my life and have taken care of dogs and cats and as well as my own frog Jeff! Being able to experience love from all kinds of pets, I have always wanted to give back that same experience to others! Aside from my day job, I enjoy being a pet’s guest companion, my occupation is nearby in the peninsula. I am also extremely close to parks and neighborhoods for proper potty routines. I do not have any other current life events that deter me from giving proper care. For cat sitting, I have a friendly cat Biscuit to keep the cats company and as well as various spaces to sit and enjoy the outside if alone. I spend time with the pets and make sure their areas are clean and that they are being tended to, whether by playing or giving them attention and pets.
