“Courtney was great taking care of my dog for 10 days (19 visits). She provided good service and daily updates after each visit. This was the first time she took care of my dog and I came back to a happy pet and clean house. I would hire her again.”
“Tingting and Willow are amazing! They visit my sensitive cat during our vacation. It turned out my cat having so much fun with TingTing and Willow ❤️ We love their caring personalities, professional service, they always update me timely on how my cat does :) I highly recommend them!”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”
“Thao is absolutely fantastic! She followed all of my detailed instructions perfectly and was wonderful with my cat. I received consistent updates and lots of great photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Thao is reliable, communicative, and caring.”
“Kierstin did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty! She was able to and willing to add the additional care of giving our kitty eye drops twice a day after a recbent eye scratch. She communicated well and gave us lots of updates, which was helpful with our kitty’s health not being 100% while we were gone. We have used her several times and would absolutely use her again!”
“Very attentive during the drop in time to my babies. Sent me a daily summary of his interaction along with pics. That put me at ease about being away from them. Would definitely rebook with Erik.”
“Angelina was an incredible sitter for our 2 cats while we were out of town for a few days! The cats warmed up to her quickly and she always sent a bunch of photos and updates. I'd book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Crystal was outstanding watching our cats while we were away. Our social cat loved playing and spending time with her and our antisocial cat even warmed up to her a little. Crystal puts a lot of effort into her daily reports and getting pictures for us to make sure they are okay. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello! My name is Amy. 😊 My husband and I are proud pet parents to our Puggle, Frankie, who we absolutely adore. We’ve had such positive experiences with Rover sitters, and now we’re excited to return the favor by offering a safe, loving environment for your dog while you're away. I know how important it is to feel confident in your dog sitter, and I want to provide you with peace of mind knowing your pet is well taken care of. Our home is an apartment with an enclosed balcony, and we’re surrounded by multiple parks where we walk Frankie every day. We prioritize exercise and love to take her out three times a day, including special weekend trips to trails, beaches, or parks for a little extra adventure. I believe in clear and consistent communication, so you can expect daily photos and updates about how your dog is doing. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll treat your dog just like part of our family. We’d love to pamper and care for your dog while giving them the attention and exercise they deserve. Let me know if you’d like to chat more 😊 Since I work from home and my husband is off on weekends, we have plenty of time to care for our dog. We take Frankie out three times a day for potty breaks and 30-minute to hour-long walks, plus special adventures on weekends. You can expect the same level of care for your dog, along with any additional accommodations needed to ensure they feel comfortable and at ease during their stay with us. I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet in my care. At home, our dog-friendly apartment is secure, with an enclosed balcony and plenty of supervision during playtime. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow the owner’s instructions to keep routines consistent and pets comfortable. I also provide regular updates with photos, so you can trust that your pet is safe and well-cared for.
“Michael always works with our schedule and is so good about getting Nigel a better work out. Corgis can get lazy. Nigel knows he can't "cute" his way out exercise.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for a variety of pets as well as having a love and passion for animals my whole life! I help neighbors, family, and friends watch their furry friends when they are in need. I love staying active and what better way than spending time with animals! I am currently on summer break so I have tons of free time throughout the week and weekends! I’m more than happy to be on call and available for walks, hikes, at home sitting, or anything else to help with your furry friends! I had two dogs myself and experience with all types of breeds! I actively care for my neighbors dog and cats whenever they are away on vacation throughout the year. I am reliable, attentive and compassionate about animals.
“So grateful for Desirea’s help taking care of Pepper today! Very responsive, punctual, and shared pics. I felt confident my Pepper was being well cared for. I will definitely request Desirea’s help again.”
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
“Faye was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job dropping in to feed and play with my kitties while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond by sending tons of adorable photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable they were with her. Her communication was excellent, she kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me such peace of mind. You can truly tell how much she cares for animals. She’s incredibly kind, thoughtful, and reliable. I’m so grateful for such a wonderful first experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Faye again!”
“I’ve used Johnathan twice so far to feed and walk both of my dogs while I’ve been away. He has remained consistent, communicative, and flexible and I really appreciate his thorough updates and lots of photos after each visit. Being available last minute has been a huge relief also! Having both a hyper, younger dog and a senior dog can be a lot but he handles them well and makes sure to accommodate all of their needs correctly - diapers, medication, etc. and I feel like I can trust his services. I have never had to rely on a stranger for my children before but Johnathan made the process smooth and straight forward from the start. I was very impressed with the schedule he put together for them with all of my details - instructions to my apt, where to park, etc. He’s on top of it!”
About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!
“Ariana took great care of my senior dog Chester, who has some special health issues. She is very caring, thoughtful, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to have Ariana care for Chester again!”

Erik provided excellent care for our fur pet and always kept us up to date. Erik was very punctual which we look for in our sitters and spent the time to walk her and give her the attention she needed while we were away. Will definitely rebook with Eric in the future!

Angelina was so great with my two cats. One of my cats is difficult sometimes but Angelia was patient and the cat eventually warmed up to her. She also helped keep the house secure which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Angelina for pet sitting without worry!
Natasha did a great job with my boys! She gives you detailed updates and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure she gives them the best care. She pays attention to details and makes sure she gets to know the unique personality traits of each dog. The boys just love her! Thank you Natasha!
Desirea does a wonderful job taking care of my outdoor cat. She is flexible with my feeding setup and is always prompt and professional. When Desirea is caring for Shadow, I don't need to worry when I'm away, because I know he's well cared for. Thank you Desirea!
Duke did an amazing job in caring for our 3 dogs while we’re were gone. He prepared and asked excellent questions leading up to his visits as well as giving updates after each visit. We will continue using Dukes services, we highly recommend Duke for your petsitting needs. Thank you so much Duke!
Maggie is really great. She is very meticulous in her tasks. She is is very caring and understanding. One of our cats is very scared of new people. But Maggie really understood how to approach her and made her feel comfortable while she was hiding. She spent a lot of of time with all our cats and was very friendly with them. They like her a lot. During her visit, we had to change feeding instructions multiple times as one of the cats would eat the other cats' food and we tried different methods different days. Maggie was very understanding and made those new changes every day.
Kayla was AMAZING! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She cared for our senior dog and did a great job. She communicated with us each day on her visits and sent some photos that clearly showed what a great time our dog Ranger was having with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet!
