“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“Dane agreed to dog sit for me at the last minute when my dog was having some health issues and I was worried about leaving him alone. Dane was so positive, friendly, and attentive! I will definitely seek him out in the future with any dog sitting needs.”
“Qishu was fantastic! She was so communicative and easy to work with, she made the time to meet me/our puppy first so we all felt good about the set up, she sent great updates that showed he clearly had the best time hanging out with her!”
“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Elisa's calm demeanor is a game changer for our anxious little Moana and this time she went above and beyond dealing with Moana's digestive issues. So grateful to have a sitter we can rely on to care for our fur baby the same as we do.”
“Anais has watched our dog three times now, and we couldn’t be happier. She has excellent communication, provides regular updates, and takes incredible care of our senior pup with complex medical needs. We always return to a clean home, which is such a thoughtful touch. Anais is a wonderful dog sitter - we highly recommend!”
“Cathy was amazing with our two pups! We have a senior dog who has special needs, as well as a younger dog with lots of energy. Cathy came by before the stay to learn every detail of their day, and followed all of our instructions while we were away. She took excellent care of them during the holidays, and I came back to two very happy pups. Our senior girl usually has a bit of anxiety while we're away, and I can tell when I return. However, Cathy handled everything perfectly and I could tell our older girl was happy and well taken care of when we returned. I would absolutely book Cathy again -- I trust her with my babies through and through, and she'll be my first choice for every trip from now on!”
“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”
“Aman was great house sitting our dog. It was our first time using Rover and I created some confusion but he was very gracious and helpful. Sent plenty of photos and was very communicative as we had a few unexpected packages show up. Even offered to was some dishes we’d left behind! Oh and our dog loved him. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”
“Dennis is a considerate and kind person, a wonderful dog sitter for us and our German Shepherd. Our GSD is older and requires a cart when being walked. Dennis took the time to ask for what he needed to feel comfortable getting her into and out of the cart, making sure he had the dietary and medication needs defined, and meeting with us to ensure everyone thought it was a good fit. I highly recommend Dennis if you need a pet sitter! He left our home just as it was when we left, and we had the peace of mind of knowing our special-needs dog was well cared for while we were away.”
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.
“Heather has watched our dog Ozzie two days in a row and she’s great! She’s on time and professional, and our dog loves her! She sends pictures throughout the day which is great!”
“Ammy watched our dog at our apartment for a long weekend and we felt very at-ease while away. She comforted our nervous pup during the 4th of July fireworks, in which we were grateful. Ammy’s communication, kindness, and wit are the perfect combo for dog responsibility. Will definitely book in the future with her.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from childhood companions to the many pups I’ve had as an adult, including Shiba Inus, Labs, and a Goldendoodle. I also have experience pet sitting from my college days and love animals of all kinds. Whether your dog prefers hiking trails or lounging at home, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m reliable, grounded, and kind-hearted, with a strong attention to detail, I’m comfortable following specific feeding routines, administering medications, and respecting whatever schedule your pet is used to. I’m genuinely excited to care for your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or hang out with your kitties and give them the attention they deserve. Let me know about any special needs or preferences your pet has, including toys, walking or play styles. I'm happy to accommodate them on my visits. I provide a calm, caring environment and pay close attention to every detail, from feeding routines and medication schedules to subtle changes in behavior, so your pet feels secure and understood. I'm reliable, grounded, and deeply respectful of the trust you place in me, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
“Vivian was very sweet and Javi was very relaxed with her. He can be a pretty high stress dog when we are away but he seemed to have really enjoyed his time relaxing with Vivian. Thank you!”

South Kennedy Tract pet parents share their Rover experiences
We absolutely recommend Diana as a sitter and would have her again. From our initial meeting to the moment we returned home, we had good communication and quick/easy resolution of any questions. Our senior dog, Diesel, took to her immediately and was in good spirits when we returned home. The photo and video updates and detailed messages were a wonderful touch. We could see Diesel was not just being cared for, but truly loved and enjoyed. Our sitter maintained his routine, including adjusting to his slow pace and chill time in the yard. Coming home to a spotless house was the cherry on top. Plants were thriving, mail was neatly organized, and it was clear our home had been treated with the utmost respect and care. Anyone would be lucky to have such a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring person looking after their precious pets and home.
Charlii really stepped it up this time. Our dog had an injury and became medically complex right before we left for a non-changeable vacation and she literally nursed him back to health better than we were able to! It completely changed the vacation knowing we basically had a doggie nurse at the house. She handled meds/PT all on her own. Incredible!
Alison is absolutely wonderful! She took such loving care of our two dogs, and we could tell they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and trustworthy. We came home to happy pups. I live in the San Diego area and I am sad that Alison doesn’t live closer to us, but will definitely ask her to sit for our pups next time we’re in San Francisco! We would recommend Alison to anyone looking for a caring sitter—she’s the best!”
Ariana is a very trusted, reliable overnight sitter! She was very detail oriented and patient with our large breed teenage puppy. He quickly warmed up to her and adjusted to her reinforcement of our training. We are so grateful for all the steps and playtime she got in, keeping him tired and happy!
Aman is quick to reply and very communicative. It's clear our pit bull, Munchie, loves spending time with him, which puts our dog parent nerves at ease while we're away. He takes the extra time and effort to bring her out and about to other parts of town for a diversity of walks, which we appreciate because car rides are one of Munchie's favorite activities. With Aman, you'll come home to a happy and healthy dog.
Hallie took great care of our dog! We have a very energetic dog who loves hikes and needs nourishment throughout the day. She did everything we asked and defiantly tired him out with long hikes each day! Communication was fast and easy and she left our house clean and in the same condition as when we left. We would definitely recommend and use again … oh and they even went and got a pup cup lol. ☺️
Casey did another awesome job at caring for our family pets ranging from 1 year old puppy to our super senior dog and cat. She was flexible and really tuned into their unique and special needs. She sincerely cares for them. She also gave us detailed and entertaining updates with cute photos & left our place as we left it. Thank you again for your wonderful care Casey!
Juliana did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. They got lots of walks and when she sent pictures, which she did a lot, they were smiling and looking so happy. She was also willing to stay at our house. She's a great communicator. She let us know how things were going during each day. I highly recommend her.
Dawnly was so responsive and willing to jump in and help out when we needed last minute coverage. Our dogs are not the friendliest with newcomers, and they handled them our babies with love and grace. They took great care of our fur babies and were very communicative when they had questions to give our babies the best care. One of our dogs requires meds and Dawnly carefully followed the schedule for administering meds. We would love to work with them again.
This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!
10/10. No notes. Dionna was amazing!! She was so detailed, organized, thoughtful, and caring when looking after our 2 cats and Bernese Mountain Dog. She sent photos and videos regularly so we always had peace of mind. One of our cats can be skittish and grumpy around strangers but he seemed comfortable and at ease right away with Dionna. Would absolutely recommend Dionna for your pet care needs!
