“I booked Sin Hang last minute once I realized I desperately need help with my new rescue. She was very responsive, easy to communicate, and non-judgemental. I highly recommend this sitter.”
About: I have been walking other dogs for two years now and my own for 8 years! I have worked with senior dogs and I am very good at knowing when they need a break. I am very passionate about animals and their wellbeing! My sister is a veterinarian, so I know a lot about dogs and their behavior! You can trust me to give your pups walks filled with memories and love! As long as your dogs are with me, I will always ensure that they are healthy and happy! I currently go to college full time, but my schedule is flexible for walks! I am available Monday-Sunday during different times in the day and am willing to work with your schedule as long as you’re willing to work with mine. I will always make sure that whatever walk I book, I make time for and plan accordingly. I currently only do walks, however, I have had two dogs myself one being young while the other was a senior. I made sure to care for them both equally in the ways that fit them best. Because one was 4 and the other was 9, my senior girl slowed down more, so I allowed her to rest whenever she needed during exercise. I make sure to keep the younger animals busy and stimulated at all times! I love all animals so much and only want the best for them! I make sure to keep the dogs I work with safe. I make sure to always have plenty of water, treats if needed, and poop bags during our walks. I also like to bring toys if we are going to an area where they can play! I am pretty well educated as a pre-vet student.

“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was really little, I was always the kid asking to dog sit for the neighbors when they were out of town. I spent my first few years in university as a dog sitter and loved meeting so many different pups. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare! I love being outside, taking my dog to Golden Gate park and to the beach, or just quiet walks along the trail! I work part time at a doggy daycare in the city until 1:00pm so I would be available for drop-in visits and walks anytime after then. While I'm in the home, I ensure your pup is safe by not leaving any of my belonging where they can get to them, I respect your home by removing my shoes, not eating food while there and leaving it just as I found it. I have experience with reactive dogs, so when I'm out of the house with your pup, I keep the leash on at all times and always have a close eye on your pup. I prefer hands-free, loose leash walking when possible so that I can react quickly. I do not go to dog parks or allow your pup to meet with any other pups while on our walks. Depending on your preferences, I am happy to have a slow, casual walk and I am also happy for a high energy park or beach walk as well. Also with your permission, I do love treats and training on walks!
“Emiliano is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. My pup loves having out with him. It brings us a lot of peace of mind leaving our puppy with him. Highly recommend.”

“As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!”

About: I have always been an animal lover from a very young age! I currently have 3 dogs , 1 mini poodle (female 11) , 1 dachshund (male 6) , and 1 chuweenie ( female 8) , I as well have a cat (female 3) that I rescued as a kitten! I currently work a part-time job at a dental office as a receptionist, my weekly schedule for work is Monday - Thursday from noon- 5:30pm which gives me the mornings and evening to look after your fur babies if and when needed! I have a nice sized yard and I live in a very quiet and pleasant neighborhood to walk your dog! Growing up my mom was a house keeper so from a very young age I was taught how to keep any space whether it was my home or another’s nicely organized and cared for! Respect will always been shown to you and your pets while you are away!
“Jaron! Wow! Remarkably professional as well as my kitties best buddy now! Jaron cared for our Blu Kitty as if he had known her furever! I highly recommend Jaron for all your pet watching needs. Trust worthy and loyal! Thank you Jaron!!”

“My was fantastic! She spent quality time with Moose and Daphne during her drop in visits and was able to manage Moose when he had a mischievous streak. She clearly has great experience with a wide variety of dog ‘personalities’ and I highly recommend her work!”

“This is our second time having Sandra watch our spicy, anti-social cat. She is great to work with, always thorough, and even accommodated us extending our vacation at the last minute. Highly recommend Sandra to take care of your furry friends.”

“Sarah did drop in visits to provide my pup with sub cutaneous fluids each day I was out of town. I had already scheduled a sitter who was a great fit for us but wasn’t comfortable with giving my girl fluids. Anyway, Sarah to the rescue! She made me feel so comfortable that my senior pup with special needs was in good hands! I would definitely book her again for any service!”
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”

About: Hello my name is Ana and I’ve been taking care of pets since 2020. When COVID hits I adopted my little dog Foxy, I immediately fall in love with her and we’ve been the best of friends since then (she is more like my daughter). I needed extra money around the pandemic so I started taking care of dogs, cats and rabbits. I also have experience with rodents and I have experience on injections and medication administration. I really consider animals as a part of my family and treat them as I will treat my little Foxy. I’m currently working full time, but I’m hybrid and I have a flexible schedule. I also work any day of the weekend at anytime, which give me a big flexibility to take care of pets. I have a fenced yard and a female dog! She is spayed and she is really sweet and loves to play. She is usually really kind with other dogs and get along easily. I really like to take dogs out 3-4 times a day for like around 30 minutes or do different activities like taking them to the dog park, beach or to a hiking trail.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South San Francisco
Hiromi is the best! She is kind, trustworthy, and genuine. She showed care for our cats, Momo and Buddy, as well as their environment. She prioritizes our cat's safety, cleanliness, and wellbeing. She easy to communicate with, reliable, resourceful, and accommodating. We were very fortunate that Hiromi was available during our emergency booking. Will definitely book her services again because of her attentiveness and her quick response to our concerns. Thank you Hiromi for your kindness!

It was our first time working with Sandra, but not the last! She was a pleasure to work with, and our cats loved her (especially our girl cat, she kept climbing on her shoulder!). Very irresponsible, plenty of pictures, and great communications. Thank you, Sandra!
She was very thorough and took good care of our cats!! Both of our cats are a handful but she managed to look after them with ease. She made sure to interact a lot with them during the short amount of time she had with them each day, and I appreciate that she asked us a lot of questions when she needed more clarification on something. We would definitely book with her again!

Yu-Hsuan was a great sitter for our two cats! She is very thorough and took many pictures to share with us while we were away. I appreciate her care and attention to detail. Both cats liked her a lot 😊 We got stuck while traveling and she was able to be flexible and drop in an additional time at the last second. Thank you again Yu-Hsuan!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
