“Chuck was fantastic and went way above and beyond for me when he watched my cat. He was very responsive and kind and patient when I was worried. I can’t recommend him highly enough. There should be more than five stars available for someone as good as he was.”
“Our rebooking with Tara was so smooth. She took great care of our pets and house, sent excellent updates and was flexible when we extended our trip! Great sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Lydia did a stellar job! She is reliable, on time and a she understands how to take of a cat, which is rare. I can tell she was here and actually paid attention to our cat because of the cat’s behavior when I got home. I would recommend her to another cat owner”
About: I am not a trainer. However, I've been in the pet care field for more than a decade. My senior dog taught me a lot about her needs and abilities as she aged. So I understand that it isn't just about the walk but about communication, patience & companionship, too. You've probably seen me walking with a dog in your neighborhood or at local dog friendly venues. The dogs who walk with me are all special in their own way with behaviors or reactions that require a little patience and understanding. So, you won't see me trying to manage five or six dogs at a time; just one. If one of the dogs in my care requires medication, I'll administer an oral med but I will not administer injectable medications or fluids. I'll always make sure when dropping off a dog that there is fresh water and, if necessary, make sure that the crate is clean & dry.
“Anne takes such wonderful and loving care of our cats. When Anne is watching them, I know I can relax and disconnect when I travel, knowing they will be well cared for and loved.”
“Marilee has been so great to work with, communicative and warm. She befriended a kitty who can be very wary of new people. She was able to get him in every night and gave him lots of love. My place looked great, just as I left it. We will definitely be having her again and again.”
“So grateful! This was my first time using Rover and I am thrilled with the match. Kathryn was awesome and took great care of our kitten. Our kitten was happy and very relaxed and this made for an easy transition. Kathryn kept us up to date with sweet pics which made it even easier to enjoy the trip and not worry at all about a thing. Kathryn also took wonderful care of our house. She even noticed some of our plants needed water and offered to take care of that. Very much looking forward to working with Kathryn again and Peanut has made a fast new friend.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish (both saltwater and freshwater), and small mammals as I’ve had all of them as pets or taken care of my friend's. As a teenager, I worked at a local kennel, gaining valuable experience with feeding routines, cleaning, and handling animals of all temperaments. I’ve also trained my own dogs, earning several first-place ribbons in competitions. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care—whether it’s a walk around the block or providing loving companionship while you’re away! I am also experienced in giving subcutaneous fluids and administering all kinds of medications from shots to pills I currently work weekdays from 2-8:30pm along with some weekends, but weekends I am off by 3pm. I also have periods of time where I don’t work for a couple of weeks here and there. I can come morning, afternoon, and night any day I am willing to bring a small animal into my home as long as they are ok with another large dog and small cat who are very friendly. I do not have a yard, but walks are given multiple times a day and I have a decent sized 2 story townhome with dog parks and turn outs close by. If I am to go to your home, I can do anything and everything. I have experience with giving fluids to cats and dogs for health issues and administering all kinds of medication
About: I genuinely love dogs and enjoy keeping them mentally and physically stimulated through walks, play, and enrichment activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique personality, behavior cues, and energy levels, making sure they get the right balance of activity, rest, and affection so they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday routine. I plan my day around walks, playtime, meals, and check-ins so every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and loving care throughout the day. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I take that responsibility seriously by maintaining a safe environment, following care instructions carefully, and communicating openly. I’m attentive, dependable, and always focused on your dog’s well-being.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise
About: Hello, I’m currently studying to become a veterinarian. Since I was a kid, I’ve always been surrounded by cats, dogs, and even birds. I do not shy away from any animal and feel a connection between them and nature. I understand the patience, time, and love a pet requires. I treat all pets with the same care and love as my own. I love going on walks, especially in a forested area. I love going on hikes, I believe reconnecting with nature is important for not only myself, but pets as well. I’ve always cared for animals, as of now I have pet birds. Basically my entire life I’ve cared for animals. Once I started to care for them professionally, my world opened up to so many new learning possibilities. Working with elderly pets and puppies, mature pets… it’s just such a learning process and it’s beautiful to be able to connect to them in such a meaningful way. I have worked in a pet resort, and as a beekeeper. This has solidified my confidence and trust within myself to care for your pet personally. I deal with hundreds of dogs, cats, and clients everyday working at the pet resort. I’m working part-time at the moment, I do have a flexible schedule. The only days where I am definitely not available are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As always, I will be open to flexibility when available. I care for all pets with care and love. I understand no pet is equal, they all have their own personalities which means you need to find what works for each. This takes patience, but it is completely worth it. I make sure your pets are safe in their surrounding. This means against dangerous items they may be tempted to go near, etc. Your pets’ safety is my priority.
“Olivia was a fantastic cat sitter who met our cat’s needs daily. She sent daily updates with information about Cami’s behavior, eating habits and photos. We are happy to have her cat sit in the future.”
“Jaylynn was absolutely amazing! I was very happy with her services and more happy that my cat REALLY likes her. Jaylynn provided me with updates and was prompt with letting me know if something was up. I’m pleased with the service and will be booking Jaylynn again!”
“Liza was great. She was able to watch my cat even without much notice. Though I was not able to meet her in person first, after chatting with her I was confident she was the right choice. I loved the pics she sent of my pet. I would definitely rehire her and recommend her to anyone.”
“Hoi provided great assistance to us during multiple day drop-in visits for our 2 cars recently. Our social cat loved getting brushed & pet daily by her and I think it helped her be not so lonely while we were on vacation. Hoi is very trust-worthy and reliable- we’ll use her again!”
“We really appreciate Elena watching our cat for us while we were camping. We felt completely at ease knowing she was there. She was quick to update us when she got there and how it went when we returned. Have already rebooked her for next month!”

Liza was great. She was able to watch my cat even without much notice. Though I was not able to meet her in person first, after chatting with her I was confident she was the right choice. I loved the pics she sent of my pet. I would definitely rehire her and recommend her to anyone.
Delfina was amazing and I cannot wait to use her again! She was very communicative during and prior to her visits. She made sure to take great care of our dog, cat and even our hamster while we were away! So grateful I have someone reliable and loving to my animals I can count on while we are away!
Chuck was fantastic and went way above and beyond for me when he watched my cat. He was very responsive and kind and patient when I was worried. I can’t recommend him highly enough. There should be more than five stars available for someone as good as he was.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Olivia is well-loved on here for a reason! She is warm, caring and responsible. You will have nothing to worry about even if you are the most anxious type of pet parent, as I am after trying so many sitters over the years and some of them have not been great. These days I have a very shy and skittish type of kitty, he wouldn't come out at all (even after several days) for the last sitter I tried. With Liv, it's a totally different story. He not only ate well (which was an issue the last time I tried to leave him), but also he came out for his dinner while she was there, and allowed pets!! She made an effort to show that she was reading the detailed instructions I left, communicated exactly how everything went with notes and photos, and just generally has a gentle, sweet energy that would put anyone at ease. She clearly takes pride in doing things well, and it shows that she loves animals. I feel lucky to have found her to care for my little guy!
Susan did a wonderful job watching over my precious kitty Suki. She kept the house exactly how it was when I left, nice and clean. She provided pictures at each and every visit which I loved, and included notes with short summaries of the activities they did while together (playing, snack time, brushing, cuddle time, etc.) I loved that Susan was extremely responsive with all communication. Suki also warmed up to Susan much faster than anyone else! Thank you Susan! I will book again. ❤️
Lydia is just the best! It is always hard to leave my cat, but I know she is in the best possible hands with Lydia. When I get home, my cat is so happy and playful and thriving, and I know this is all because of Lydia. Lydia has cared for my cat several times and I will 100% ask her to return again.
Audrey helped us out a lot as first-time users of Rover. She followed our instructions to a T, gave medications to our senior cat, Sweetie, and made sure to give her lots of attention. We hope to use her services again in the future. Our neighbor is also considering using Rover, so we hope to recommend Audrey when the time comes.
We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ariana provided for our 17-year-old cat, Matteucci, over the two weeks we were away. Ariana was fantastic, demonstrating true reliability by meticulously following every one of our senior cat protocols and medical instructions. The most amazing thing, however, was her patience and gentle approach in getting our notoriously unsociable girl to come out of her shell and actually socialize! This is a massive step for our cat, and it speaks volumes about the wonderful environment she created. We returned to a happy, healthy, and relaxed feline. We wholeheartedly recommend her for her exceptional skill, especially with challenging or senior pets!
