“Caroline took amazing care of our two fur babies! I appreciated her daily updates and pictures while we were away. When we arrived back home, our house was clean and our animals were very happy. Would definitely book Caroline again to watch our pets again!”


“Caroline is incredible. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat and apartment. She is so dedicated and communicates very well. Our cat immediately loved her. I would give her 6 stars if I could.”

“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”
“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”

“Michelle is an amazing dog sitter! She was able to help us out with short notice. She is highly responsive and it is clear she loves animals. My dog was very calm with her and was well taken care of. Highly recommend. Thanks so much!!”

“Caroline did an incredible job of taking care of my little Chihuahua and my home. When I got home my dog was happy and my home was clean. She is very conscientious. I would hire Caroline in the future for dog sitting.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life — that's 29 years of hands-on experience caring for them at every stage. Growing up around both working and non-working dogs gave me a well-rounded understanding of different breeds, temperaments, and needs. I currently have a dog of my own, so your pup will always be in the care of someone who genuinely lives and breathes this. As an added bonus, my sister is a veterinarian — so I bring not just personal experience, but a household full of professional-level knowledge when it comes to your pet's health and wellbeing. I work from home on weekdays, which means your pet is never far from someone who cares. I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as long as I can bring my laptop, and I'm free for walks Monday through Friday from 2:30–7pm. Weekends are more flexible, and I'm happy to house sit with advance notice. Having a work-from-home setup is honestly a perk for the pets I care for - there's always a calm, present person nearby. I'm no stranger to multi-dog households as I live with my own dog alongside my family's two dogs, so I'm comfortable managing the dynamics that come with multiple pets under one roof. I have hands-on experience with crate training and potty training, and I've cared for dogs in all kinds of setups: yards, apartments, you name it. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I actually prefer caring for dogs in their own environment as familiar surroundings mean less stress for your pet, and I'm there to keep their routine as normal as possible. It's the setup where I do my best work.
“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”

About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.

“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”

About: I have taken care of and been around many dogs since childhood. Growing up, my first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier. We got him in 2009 and he lived a happy active life until 2021. In 2022, I adopted an Australian Cattle/Great Dane mix. I also have experience caring for and looking after Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Maltese, Pitbulls, and Dachshunds. My schedule is highly flexible! I am able to switch my schedule to my client's needs to make sure their pet is taken care of. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. My dog is super friendly and loves having doggy friends around. I am able to go on long walks and spend time doing enriching activities.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Josh was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From our initial video chat, I knew Dennis (my recently adopted ex-street cat) would be in good hands. Josh came to the meet & greet fully prepared and even managed to get Dennis to come out from under the bed—no small feat for a cat who spent 8+ years on the streets! 😸 He sent updates, photos, and thoughtful messages each visit, which really helped ease my first-time Rover nerves. He even met me after to return my keys and parking pass—above and beyond. Josh has great energy, and Dennis clearly approved (which says everything). Highly recommend—your pets will be in caring, capable hands. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I can remember. I trained my corgi when he was a puppy and even taught my cat some tricks! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe that all pets deserve to feel loved, comfortable, and safe while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have time all throughout the day, from the morning to the evening, to play with them! Having pets of my own, I understand the importance of routines and sticking to a schedule. I will ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and normal while you are gone. I always prioritize making sure that pets are comfortable around me and will do anything it takes to ensure that they are.

About: I've grown up always volunteering to care for dogs while my friends were on vacation. I used to have an English bulldog named Elvis who I loved SOOOO much. I just graduated college and moved home, and my building doesn't allow dogs, so I figured this would be a great way to interact with some :) I love ALL dogs no matter the shape or size, and would love to walk your dog/give him or her all the cuddles. My 9-5 won't start until July 27th so I'm literally free whenever and just want to make some extra $$ and see dogs. I do still plan to dog sit and walk when I start though! I will make sure I understand really thoroughly what your dog needs like how often to walk, feed, etc so I can keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible while you're away. I will take thorough notes on whatever else they may need! :)) And I will make sure to ask about what they like so I can spoil them while you're away(within your limits) by feeding them special treats and giving them some extra scratches if they have a personality where they like/need that <3
About: I've been an animal-lover my whole life <3 I've had pets ranging from hamsters, to birds, to turtles, and now a bunny and cat! I have experience caring for senior dogs (my own fur baby was 16 when she passed), and have helped take care of friends' and family's pets. I work east coast hours, so I am up early and finish my work day in the early afternoon. I'm also available weekday afternoons and evenings. I have experience pet sitting and housesitting for friends. I can get up to take care of pets early or stay up later as needed.
“Dylan did a great job watching my 7 year old lab mix over the weekend. He followed directions and spent a lot of time hanging out with her, and sent lots of pictures. If we weren’t moving away, we’d definitely ask him to watch her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Mateo Park
Berra is an excellent dog and house sitter! She sent us photos and updates everyday. She was very communicative overall and made sure our beloved pets were well taken care of (walks, trips to the dog park, play time in the yard, etc). She also went out of her way to keep the house clean, take care of plants that she thought needed extra water, and even froze strawberries from our garden for us when we got home, which was above what I'd expect from a sitter. She was one of the best dog sitters we've had and we will definitely have her come again, and recommend her to others.

Hope is well loved by my dogs. She is attentive and keep me informed of my dogs’s activities. Out senior dog needs daily eye drops and she administered the drops without troubles. Hope also kept our house clean and tidy. Highly recommend Hope to those who need an overnight sitter.

Dawn was absolutely incredible with our two dogs! We needed a pet sitter for a last-minute trip, and she was so accommodating and agreed to help. Before we left, she came to our home for a meet-and-greet to get to know our dogs, learn their routines, and go over all the care instructions. That immediately gave peace of mind. Throughout our vacation, Dawn sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear she had really bonded with both of our dogs. She paid close attention to their unique personalities and behaviors, and it was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also went above and beyond by washing the bed sheets before we returned home. After a long day of travel, coming home to a clean house and fresh sheets was such a thoughtful gesture and meant so much. Dawn is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. We will absolutely hire her again.

Ligia took such great care of our dog Teddy as well as our house while we were gone for 2 weeks. Ligia sent us lots of pictures and was very responsive while we were out. We are so grateful that Teddy was able to stay with someone so caring in an environment that he was used to while we were gone. Ligia also helped water the plants, bring in packages, put away groceries, etc while we were gone. We would definitely recommend Ligia to anyone looking for petcare needs! We would love to hire Ligia again in the future!

Caroline was amazing with our rescue dachshund Tella. She was so empathetic to us and Tella who just lost the other half of her bonded pair, and took Tella on with such patience since we all didn’t quite know how she’d handle being dog-watched alone for the first time. Caroline also messaged regularly with so many picture updates to comfort us knowing we probably had more separation anxiety than Tella did! As a pet owner of a somewhat difficult rescue dachshund - and if you know dachshunds you know what I mean- i was worried about finding the right sitter and Caroline went above and beyond.

Elena took such wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. She was communicative, reliable, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Always amazing having Sydney watch our dogs. She is so communicative and always gives updates on how they are doing (with so many wonderful photos!). As a bonus to getting along with our pets so well, we really feel the house is taken care of when she stays and leaves it spotless. Highly recommend Sydney.
