“Kennia was fantastic with our very non-standard request for handling our dog Poppy. We will definitely be getting in touch with her again when we need someone to watch our dog!”

“Megan takes amazing care of our girl. The pictures and updates she sends are just such a comfort when we’re away from home. One picture from this most recent trip with our dog’s huge, full-teeth smile had us laughing out loud but also just made us so happy that she was that happy while her family was away. We feel so incredibly lucky to have Megan as our dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!!”

About: I am an experienced female pet sitter, ready to take care of your pet next! I also live with 3 other sweet girls who love animals just as much as me so your pet will never be left alone or unloved 💕 ~I promise to give endless belly rubs and always ensure a safe environment for your fur babies ~ I love dogs and cats equally 🙌 ~ i love to go on walks, stolls, hikes, and to the beach 🏔️🌊☀️ ~ My routine is super consistent which helps get your pet comfortable way quicker Im currently a part time student with a remote job so i'm at home most of the day so my schedule is great for a highly anxious dog that needs to be with me at all times I do live close to a college campus, but I'm right on the edge of a quiet residential area where I go on 2-3 walks a day so walking a dog fits right into my routine! I also love the beach and hiking trails, and love to have a dog with me as an excuse to go- so if your dog comes to stay with me there is a potential adventure to come! I live with 3 other sweet girls and we're all best friends, and whenever I get booked to watch an animal they get so exited. So if i'm taking care of an animal, we're all here to pitch in. I can without a doubt assure you that your pet will never be alone or left without constant love and attention ❤️

“It was so lovely to have Haylee take care of my precious cat. She did a superb job, sent me the cutest updates, and even brought my packages inside. Would not hesitate to book again!”

“Vania was so sweet with our 8 mo old puppies! We felt at ease during our travels. She took them on long walks and even gave them a bath since the days were quite warm. Thank you again Vania!”

“Laura is a lifesaver. She got along with our dog quickly (not easy!) and took care of all his needs on ournin-office days. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved animals since childhood and have over 10 years of experience in pet care. I approach pets with both confidence and affection. I enjoy getting to know the unique personalities and helping them feel safe and loved. In addition to caring for other people’s pets I’ve had many of my own Including three cats and seven dogs ranging in age from six weeks to 14 years old. I’ve trained and walked dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to bull breeds in the neighborhoods and along nature trails. I’ve also taken dog training classes and have volunteered at the Oakland SPCA. I’ve trained puppies, and I’ve cared for older pets. I’m here to meet your pet’s care needs with compassion, reliability, and the experience they deserve. I’m looking for work. I can do in the afternoon and or evenings Monday through Friday and occasionally weekends. I am also available for late night check-in if you need it. I offer dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I will closely follow the routines and instructions shared to ensure your pets care is up to you and your pets standards

“I’ve used Maia twice, both times as a last minute request and have appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Would recommend her without hesitation!”

Laura M.

“We love having Angie! She always does an amazing job caring for our boy while we’re away! She has great communication skills and is always on top of everything! We will use her again and again and recommend her for anyone needing someone trustworthy to love and care for their pet!”

“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

“Zenzele dropped in with little notice when I mixed up my schedule, saving me an hour roundtrip when my pup needed to be hugged and fed. Thanks, Zenzele 👍🏼”

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs: • Gator, my grandma’s goofy orange lab, who loved carrying giant rocks and playing in the water. • A shar-pei with big “Stanley-from-The-Office” energy, who needed daily walks and, later in life, extra care with meals and medication. • My parents’ pitbull, who I raised from the puppy stage and helped train—my most challenging and rewarding experience! These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs (and I think they can tell!). I am currently doing freelance work and studying from home which means If there is WiFi, I am more than happy to stay at a place to be attentive with the pet and also keep them company. When I care for a pet I make sure they feel safe with me in their home, I let them warm up to me and I make sure they know that I am a friend by giving them their favorite treat. I prefer to meet pet before hand. If it’s a dog I avoid other dogs on walks and even if encouraged or recommended, I do not take them to the dog park. When in my care I want them to be safe and I know that can get tricky with other pups so I avoid it all around.

“Meera was such a gracious care taker. She went above and beyond in making sure our dog was happy. A true professional and kind human. Thank you!”

“As a first time Rover user, Pearl was a great choice of sitter! On short notice she was very accommodating, and took great care of my puppy Hugo. She was also very easy to get in touch with, and kept me updated on how each drop in went. I would definitely book with Pearl again, or recommend her to a friend!”

“Kristi is amazing... My four doggos absolutely adored her! She was willing to come to my home last minute for a meet and greet and drop in on the weekend to check on them. Kristi has a special way with animals and is very caring. I received live updates and photos during her visit which left me feeling relieved knowing they were in good hands. 10 stars. I highly recommend her for your pets needs:)”

Jessica M.

“Natasha did drop in visits for my 2 skittish cats. She was prompt in replying to my inquiry. She followed the care instructions for the kitties. I will use her services again.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life! I’ve always had a pet and they’ve ranged from chickens to spiders. I started pet sitting when I was 16 and am currently working at a dog daycare/boarding place and am a dog handler that will love and care for your pups no matter age or size! :))<3 Apart from being a student (on break) I’m also working part-time at a dog daycare on the weekends so during the week I’m usually free! When pups are in my care it’s my priority to help them feel safe and comfortable at home no matter how tedious or time consuming it will be!<33
