“Regina is the best sitter! She always sends lots of updates with photos and videos. Our puppy loves playing with her and she is exceptionally taken care of. She also is a lovely houseguest. 11/10 highly recommend.”



“Malcolm was great with my older reactive dog. He made sure Atti received his medications, took him for short walks and spent time playing with him. When I was looking for a sitter, I was concerned that my dog would not be comfortable with anyone. He warmed up to Malcolm very rapidly and everything was good during his stay. I hope Malcolm is available the next time I need a sitter. Bernard Bagshaw”


“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”


“Seng is absolutely amazing! My cats love her. She spends quality time with them, pays extra attention to the cat sitting notes, and my cats are always so happy and calm when I come home. I never worry about leaving my cats at home while I go on vacation when I know that Seng is cat sitting.”


“Clive was extremely affectionate with Felix and also very willing to follow the instructions I left with him. I was especially impressed by Clive’s willingness to conduct two meet and greets ahead of the actual sit, giving both of us time to be thorough in asking questions and setting expectations. Clive is a dog love through and through, and I recommend him as a sitter for your pooch!”


“We hired Saige to house sit and take care of our dog Dwayne while we were on vacation, and she was absolutely awesome! From start to finish, she was super friendly, professional, and communicative. She sent us great updates and adorable photos of Dwayne throughout our trip, which gave us total peace of mind. When we got home, our house was immaculate — it looked like no one had even been there (except for a very happy dog!). We couldn't be more pleased and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Saige to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


About: Hi, I am Perry! I love dogs and grew up with them! I’ve volunteered at the San Francisco SPCA for over a decade and have worked with many breeds of dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have also walked up to six dogs off leash at Fort Funston when I worked with Top Dog SF for two years. I always strive to stay calm and respond rather than react in any stressful situation. I specialize in animal safe handling and behavior, and look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend for lots of daily enrichment and exercise. My availability is weekdays (Monday through Friday) that works best for me. I am also flexible on weekends if needed when enough advanced notice is given. Safety is my number one rule. On my housesitting visits, I will follow your guidelines and rules (if your have any) for taking great care of your pet and making them feel safe and comfortable.

“We booked Jaron for 15 days to housesit for our two cats. He was super friendly, provided daily updates and sent photos. He was respectful of our home and cleaned up after he left. Thanks, Jaron!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and relatives have relied on me for walks, feeding, and grooming. I enjoy taking care of pets(in general) because I love seeing their personalities shine through and it’s rewarding to see them enjoy their time with me. As always I make sure the care I give is the same a their owners because I want to make sure the routine doesn’t change. I work from home which is convenient because my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually free in the afternoons from Monday to Wednesday (1-7pm). Thursdays are my busiest days at work as I have meetings all day until 5pm. And most Fridays I’m free as well(10:30am-6pm) When doing visits, I will be attentive of your pet and their environment at all times. Every visit I’ll make sure they’re well fed, water is fresh, and play with them as needed. Please let me know if there are specific instructions that I need to follow when I’m at your residence. I’m by a school and a neighborhood park where walking dogs is pretty common during the day so I would plan to walk around that area (unless suggested otherwise). I’m also familiar with a bunch of parks that are dog/pet friendly in the peninsula so your pet will always be entertained and safe in my care.

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!

“I’ll definitely ask Jade to care for my kitties next time I leave town! She was very communicative and sent me updates about “the crew” (my 3 cats), which really put me at ease. I highly recommend Jade to care for your kitties!”


“Eli was fantastic! They took care of my senior/ high needs fur babe on very short notice and were so helpful and attentive, even feeding her by hand to encourage her to eat while I was away! Eli also accommodated my crazy schedule needs!! When I came home my little anxious dog was as calm and content as could be. It was evident that she was loved and cared for while I was gone and they kept the house clean and tidy and sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay! Eli is great! We can’t wait to book with them again!! Thanks for taking such great care of our fur babe!!”


About: I have taken care of 2 dogs for the past 14 years and intermittently taken care of friends and neighbors pets for the past 3 years. I am very patient and would love to meet your pet!

I would be happy to take your pets out on potty breaks, play with them and keep them company! I have a fenced backyard at my home and am very comfortable taking them out to use the bathroom and play!

About: As a pet sitter, what sets me apart from others is my strong commitment to providing the best possible care for every animal under my watch. I understand that each pet is unique and has specific needs, and I take the time to learn about their individual personalities, likes, and dislikes. This allows me to tailor my services to each pet's specific needs and ensure they are happy, comfortable, and healthy. I am also highly reliable, punctual, and responsible, which means pet owners can trust me to follow their instructions and take care of their pets as if they were my own. Overall, my passion for animals, attention to detail, and dedication to providing exceptional pet care sets me apart from other sitters. As a pet sitter, I understand that pet owners often need care for their furry friends on weekends. That's why I make myself available for weekend pet-sitting services to accommodate their needs. Whether it's for a quick drop-in visit or a long walk, I am happy to provide quality care for pets on Saturdays and Sundays. I believe that reliable and flexible availability is crucial for pet owners who need to attend weekend events or take a short trip. Therefore, I make sure to communicate my weekend availability clearly to my clients and schedule any necessary pet care services accordingly. I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care services whenever needed, including on weekends. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize the animal's safety, comfort, and health. I begin by meeting the pet and the client to get to know the pet's routine, habits, likes, and dislikes. This allows me to provide a personalized experience for each animal under my care. I make sure to follow any instructions provided by the client regarding feeding, exercise, and any medical needs. Additionally, I maintain a clean and safe environment for the pet by regularly cleaning their living space and disposing of any waste. During my visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and socialization to keep the pet happy and entertained. I also communicate regularly with the client to provide updates on the pet's well-being and any concerns that may arise. Overall, my goal is to provide exceptional pet care services that ensure the pet feels loved, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owners are away.

“I honestly can’t say enough great things about Tessa. I was gone for a week and she took care of my two very active dogs. She took them on big adventures to the beach and the local parks. My house was spotless when I got back and I would say she’s extremely reliable and dependable. I bumped into some neighbors who saw her at the park and said she was working on training them as well which was amazing. Thanks Tessa - you ROCK!”

About: Expect nothing but the best for your pet. I am a tenured veterinary technician and dog handler with years of experience working all over the Bay Area in clinics and doggy daycares . Here your pet is understood and accommodated with every specific need your pet might need. Every pet is given 1 on 1 time, and supported through positive reinforcement whether that’s reinforcing potty training or not pulling while walking on leash. Everything is included we have crates, beds, treats, toys and even a large fenced in field for your pet to play in. Everything to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable and having the best time while you’re away. I build my routine around your pets. They are walked every two hours and are let out on our fenced turf as needed. Enrichment activities come after every other walk which can include; sit circles, hide and seek, name game, new skills, and skill reinforcement which lasts for 30 minutes. Dogs are fed at 7am 12pm and 5pm unless there is already a schedule in place and bedtime is 9:30pm or as requested. I live in an in-law home, so my yard is completely fenced in, the backyard is completely fenced in. During client intake I will ask if your pet has any special needs or health concerns, this is only so I can accommodate them and know what an emergency for them would look like.

Katrina A.
“I'm writing to enthusiastically recommend my friend Katrina for a position with Rover as a pet caregiver and dog walker. I’ve known Katrina for several years, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand her deep love for animals, responsible nature, and strong work ethic. Katrina has always been the go-to person in our circle whenever someone needs help with their pets—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or just spending quality time with them. She’s attentive, patient, and truly understands that pets are family. I’ve trusted her to care for my own pets, and she treated them with the same affection and responsibility as I would. Her calm demeanor, reliability, and natural connection with animals make her a perfect fit for pet care. I’m confident that anyone who chooses Katrina through Rover will feel at ease knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands.”

Tessa is an amazing dog sitter. She did a fantastic job over a two-nighter with Charlie recently. Tessa is a conscientious, kind, and active sitter! The best evidence: Charlie was bummed a couple days after Tessa left because he missed her! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to other! -Sam & Steph

Anna was amazing! She took care of our dog Lily at our house for a week while we were in vacation and took such good care of her! She took her on walks, played with her and even gave her a bath - which was not expected!! Everyday we got lots of photos of Lily having fun! She also left the house spotless. We will definitely use Anna the next time we go on a trip. I highly recommend her!

Janet was AHHHmazing! I am so grateful to have found a her! Janet helped me out last minute to look after my 5 dogs while I had to go away on a last minute overnight work trip. The dogs took to Janet very quickly. She sent me pictures while I was away and was very communicative which made me feel very safe and like pack was in good hands. She even lets me treats after her stay! Very thoughtful and kind! I look forward to working with Janet more! Highly recommend for all your pets needs!

Kenny is a great dog sitter. It’s our second time working with him to watch our dogs. He always sends us photos and updates and takes the dogs for nice walks everyday. He also is very clean and both times left our house very clean after sitting. I think our dogs like him too. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Rodrigo and Jazz hit it off like a house afire. Over a 10-day home stay, Jazz was treated to many walking adventures, introduced to new friends and generally treated like royalty. We received pictures of their outings daily and in each, it was clear that no humans were missed during our vacation. Would recommend and already have booked another stay.
