“Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.”
“Emily was phenomenal and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She watched Ozzy for 10 days and provided daily picture updates. We could tell from the pictures how much fun Ozzy was having. The place was spotless when we came home, and we (especially Ozzy) can’t wait to have her sit again! Thank you for everything, Emily!”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Heather walks my dog on the days I work, and she is incredibly reliable, so communicative and very quickly responsive. My dog loves her too, and I always appreciate the pictures she’s sends on their walks. Recently, we went out of town for the weekend, and Heather house sat. She sent multiple updates and pictures a day, which was so appreciated, and was just as communicative and reliable as always! I felt so secure leaving my guy and home knowing Heather would be there to take care of home. Thank you again!!”
“I cannot say enough about how amazing Nyasia is. We don't often leave our 5 family pets (2 dogs and 3 cats); but it was a special occasion. We met Nyasia back in March and she came by again before our trip to meet our guys and get a refresher on their care. We felt completely at ease knowing thst she was with them. She is a master dog/cat whisperer...our cats -- who were born in a wall in east Oakland -- come out for no one accepted her immediately. She checked in regularly with pictures and updates. And when we got back it was as if we were never away.”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Linda went above and beyond taking care of our pups while we were out of town for the night. We had a last minute schedule change due to an emergency and Linda was responsive and flexible. We have two fussy eaters and Linda was patient and tentative with frequent updates to ensure they both ate. We also loved all of the photos we received of our puppies happily snuggling while we were away! We would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone looking for an experienced and professional dog sitter!”
“Shantalee did such an amazing job for us, I would define recommend her to family and friends. She was very respectful, responsible and caring to our pup. Thanks Shantalee!”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“THE BEST! Amanda was so sweet to my babies and left my home in pristine condition!! I am definitely a repeat customer. Plenty of love and pics sent throughout my week away!! THANK YOU!!”
“Natasha is great with our dogs and cats. she's very respectful of our house and it's so nice going on vacation knowing our babies are being looked after! Thanks again, Natasha!”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Ozzy charmed our dogs, and our dogs were charmed by Ozzy. They were a bit late, but communicated that they would be. They fed our dogs, gave them their medications, and set the bar pretty high for us, by giving them lots of love and pets while we were away. We look forward to hiring them again, and we highly recommend them.”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Charlotte was great with our dog, Mara, who can be timid around new people. She was willing to come out and meet her the week before sitting at our place and was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely look to rebook in the future!”
About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time
About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own cat for almost 4 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings until sunset through the week. I'm also in the Albany area and can absolutely make a mid-day walk work if that's what you or your pet needs! With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!
About: Hi! Huge animal lover and have looked after dogs for years, I owned a dog growing up for 12 years and I looked after several dogs in the neighborhood to walk feed and play with them during the days in high school.

I’m incredibly active and a runner, some clients enjoy me running with their dogs as well. Rover is my currently my full time job, I do travel occasionally but my calendar is always fully up to date. I am currently looking for my next part time job, but I work remote! I’m very hands on with the dogs when I’m staying at my clients homes. When leaving the home I try to leave a light and maybe some music, making sure there’s not anything laying around. I take the dogs out frequently as well!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I understand that every pet has unique needs whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’m here to provide safe, loving care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I work Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate pet visits before work, during lunch, after work, and before bedtime. I also offer overnight stays for pets who need extra company and care while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, medication, or just some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for I believe every pet is unique, and I’m here to provide personalized care based on their needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I’m comfortable with all life stages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I can help with: - Walks, playtime, and exercise - Feeding routines and fresh water - Litter box and habitat cleaning - Administering medication (including injections like insulin) - Overnight stays and companionship - Special care for shy, senior, or special-needs pets. Whether your pet is energetic, independent, or in need of medical support, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

They were communicative and professional from start to finish. My partner and I are incredibly grateful for Kenedy being there and catching this issue before it progressed. Augie made a quick recovery and it was all due to Kenedy's quick response. I highly recommend Kenedy for all pet-sitting jobs.”
Destiny S.
“Destiny was such a wonderful caretaker for my fur babies when I was on vacation! She watched my two cats, and one of them truly has dog energy so I was glad that Destiny was able to keep him entertained. He can be quite a handful. I'm so glad she was able to keep them from destroying my furniture which I'm sure they would've done because they get crazy when they get lonely. But she kept them well fed, well entertained, and well groomed! The older one is a long hair, and she can get pretty matted, so I asked Destiny to use the pet brush every once in a while. Destiny also sent me pictures of my babies, to show me how they were doing. She was such a stellar companion for my kitties, couldn't recommend her more!”
Sophie P.
“Sophie is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals. She cared for my dog as if he were her own, always making sure he felt safe, loved, and well-exercised. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them, highly recommended!”

Went above and beyond. Tons of updates and understanding. Pets loved them and I will definitely book again in the future.
As always Clyanna was patient and kind to our timid pup and was a huge help for a full week of watching Trixie. She was able to help her feel cozy enough to enjoy the week.
Ashley is always amazing with Lola, but this time she went above and beyond—she noticed Lola straining to pee on my first night away, which led to an evening trip to the emergency vet. She kept me informed and handled everything with intelligence and compassion. Not the way either of us planned my week away, but Ashley made sure Lola was expertly cared for.
Ozzy recently stayed at my home to take care of my two dogs, Finnegan and Fiona, and did a fantastic job. From the start, Ozzy was professional, responsive, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ needs. Ozzy followed all instructions closely and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Finnegan and Fiona were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I absolutely recommend Ozzy to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and responsible sitter—and I’ll definitely book with Ozzy again for my dog care needs.
Amarissa did a great job watching my cats, Japser & Rosie ! She also helped me deal with a maintenance issue while I was away without a problem. Total rockstar !!
Katrina is great at communicating! Before the first appointment she responded promptly. During the meet and greet she was attentive and asked questions to ensure she would take the best care of our pets. She sent photos during the service with status updates which was nice. We look forward to booking with Katrina again in the future and our dogs do too!
Sherman had a great time with Ashleigh! Lots of walks and time to hang out together. Ashleigh was very responsible, communicated well, and made us feel great about leaving our dog at our house with her.
My pups loved Neran! She did a great job of taking care of them and sent us many smiling photos. Looking forward to having Neran back!
Nyasia is such a good communicator with updates of our pets while she house sits. We come home to a happy dog and cat and a tidy house. So happy we have found such a good sitter to care for our 4-legged family members.
Annabelle was great about checking in, and went above and beyond in taking care of my Moose! The house was also exactly as I'd left it and looking great. I'd happily hire Annabelle again!
Samantha & Sean were life-savers when I was called to a 2-week work trip on the West Coast. They gave extraordinary care to my dog and provided regular updates and communication. I give them my highest recommendation!
We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!
Freedom was amazing!! She was super responsive and able to book last minute. She came over for a comprehensive visit before watching our puppy and cat and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. While we were gone she kept us updated the entire time and sent plenty of pictures. If we weren’t moving out of state, we would book her again in a heart beat! Highly recommend!!
I cannot express how nice it is to come home from a work trip and find everything pristine and the dogs happy. Emily is the best!
Rachel is a great friend and caregiver to our furry family. We are fortunate to have met her through Rover. We hate leaving our pups but knowing she is caring for them makes it easier.
After watching our younger dog, Mara, a couple of times, we asked Charlotte to house sit with both of our dogs who each have some separation anxiety quirks. As always, she was prompt and very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and was happy to accommodate Wally and Mara's needs.
What can't I say great about Monica! She did a fantastic job with our two Frenchies while my husband and I were away for the week between Christmas and New Year's! We were worried about finding a pet sitter that would not only be available that week but also stay overnight for the week in our home, so it was so great when I came across Monica's profile. Monica responds to all messages very quickly. She came over our house for a visit before we left to meet the pups so they could all get to know each other. Monica sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the week on how they were doing. Teddy is 4 years old so pretty self sufficient but Gus is a very active 7 month still learning not to put everything in his mouth he finds and also learning to take the stairs in the house so he needed extra attention. Monica did great caring for them and all their little quirks. She was also very respectful of our home and everything looked great when she left. We will be definitely using Monica again. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Anna's great! She took great care of my pets and house while I was away and communicated throughout her stay. 👍👍
