About: I love taking care of dogs and cats and will send you lots of updates while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for care and any training or special needs considerations. I've missed hanging out with my family and friends's pets since moving to SF. I've taken care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I've had a special needs cat and have experience volunteering with rescued kittens and senior cats as well. I work from home most days so I can be flexible with care and have multiple breaks for walks, training or playtime sessions. I have my weekends to myself so I can spend all day focused on care. Happy to house sit so that your pet can be in their own space and comfortable. If care is in my home, I live in an apartment building in a quiet neighborhood where we can go for walks and there are other dogs in the building.

“Regina did a great job taking care of our elder dog and two kittens. It was a huge relief to know that they were all being cared for and loved on while we were away from home. I got pics and updates every day and came home to three very contented and relaxed pets. It was clear they had all been very comfortable with Regina. She left my place perfectly neat, and was easy to communicate with throughout. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be hiring her again whenever we have need and she is available.”


About: I am a dedicated veterinary assistant with hands-on experience in animal care, behavior, and first aid. I’ve worked in a clinical setting for about 3 years now, supporting vets and caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s walking, feeding, administering medications, or just providing love and attention, I bring the same level of care and compassion to every animal I meet. With my background in veterinary medicine, I bring an extra level of knowledge and confidence to the services offered. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, your pet’s health and happiness are my top priorities. Let’s make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved—even when you’re away! I am a current college student and I work at a vet clinic. Usually my school days are pretty early in the day and I also have weekends off! I do have experience working with animals of all sizes so care for your pet is there! I have the proper training to help if help is needed.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and have been taking care of my cat Pooky for 5 years and counting. I think cats are so silly and fun and I have taught my cats some simple tricks. I also nurtured a stray kitten we found in the backyard to health from an eye infection and found her a loving home! I am organized, timely, and experienced with cleaning up unwanted messes our pets leave behind. I would love to meet your beloved pets and give the attention and care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and can drop in/house sit according to your schedule . I know things happen last minute and I’ll be there for any emergency pet sitting needs! I am always very careful when entering/exiting a house because I know some pets can be very sneaky and pass the door. My cats are strictly indoor with some supervised outside time, because I understand the dangers of letting your cats outside on the busy streets. With your trust, I’ll keep a watchful eye on your pets to make sure they don’t ingest anything they shouldn’t, and give them the undivided attention you were promised.

About: I have a deep love for animals and enjoy every moment spent caring for them. I especially love walking dogs, playing with them, and ensuring they feel happy and cared for. However, most of my experience has been with cats. I’ve been taking care of my own cat for over 10 years and have also worked as a pet sitter, particularly with cats who have health issues or unique needs. My responsibilities have included administering pills, trimming nails, bathing, and taking them to the vet when necessary. I also have experience training both dogs and cats, including potty training and teaching basic commands. One of my most meaningful experiences was rescuing and caring for abandoned 3-day-old kittens in Thailand. Despite having no prior experience with newborn kittens, I quickly learned how to feed them every 2-3 hours, keep them warm on a heating pad, and provide the comfort they needed to thrive. This experience taught me adaptability and reinforced my commitment to helping animals in need. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for hamsters and fish, which has further broadened my understanding of different species and their unique needs. I’m always open to learning new things and expanding my skills to provide the best possible care for all animals. Their happiness and well-being mean the world to me. I’ll be happy to sit and take care of your pet—it’s truly an honor for me to be trusted with your beloved furry friend. At the moment, I work as a freelancer, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the entire week for your pet’s needs. I am a calm and easygoing person, and animals usually feel very relaxed around me. I can either visit your home or host your pets at mine. I also have a beautiful backyard garden.

“Kristi cared for our little zoo with such love and dedication. I truly have no words. My dog is elderly and has multiple health issues, yet she handled everything with ease, even taking her to the vet for fluid injections and responding calmly to an unexpected event. Our cat, who is usually skittish and avoids strangers, even warmed up to her. Kristi sent us daily detailed updates and videos, keeping us informed every step of the way. She went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her. She's professional and compassionate, and I would trust her with my pets anytime.”



About: Hi! I'm Jenny. Though I am new to Rover, I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience and have experience caring for a variety of animals, having grown up with many types of pets in my life from fish, to birds, bunnies, and of course cats and dogs. I get my love of caregiving for animals from my mom, who has been an experienced house/pet sitter for over 25 years! Additionally, we have multiple vet techs in our family so it really is a family affair. My personal services include pet/house sitting, feeding, walking, potty breaks, and overnight sitting. In addition, I have experience administering medication to cats and dogs, administering IV fluids to cats, and providing end of life/palliative care to senior cats. I work from home so you can be at ease knowing your pet will be by my side at all times :) I am a content creator that works remote/from home. My profession provides me with a lot of flexibility, as such I am able to watch pets from my home as well as at client homes. I am able to provide feeding, potty breaks, and walks 1-2x per day (during lunch and/or evening) as well as day/overnight sitting. Additionally, I can provide more extensive care such as administering medication and/or IV fluids to cats. I don't have pets of my own at home so no need to worry about your pets getting along with any other animals. I work from my home office so your furry friend will be by my side at all times and I will be able to provide them with the attention, affection, and care that they need. I also live within walking distance of two different dog parks (one that is busier and perfect for friendly pups and one that is more secluded for shyer/anxious pups who need lots of 1 on 1 time) so walking them will be no problem!

“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!”


“Cassie did a fabulous job caring for our girls while we took a trip to see the otters for our anniversary. She was thankfully available at short notice! She brushed and cared for our kids, and even had to pick up an upchuck from our girl Purrrl. We are very thankful!”



“Malcom was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and he made us feel so comfortable and reassured during our meet and greet and we are so happy with our decision to book him!! He kept her routine with plenty of walks, provided updates the entire stay, and our dog Mya looked so happy in all the photos and videos he sent so we know she was well cared for. :)”


“Brianna watched our two dogs Riley and Charlie for 7 days while we were out if town. She was an excellent communicator. As one of our dogs Riley started experiencing stomach bowel issues. She was awesome at handling the situation and made us feel reassured. She sent us pictures, videos and updates frequently. We would definitely recommend Brianne and we plan to book with her for future travels.”

16. Jennifer V.
“I can not speak highly enough about the care and love Jennifer has shown all my pets! For more than a decade she has been part of the lives of two of my dogs and my cat and I am so grateful for every minute. I live part time out of the country and when I am away, she stays in my home and treats them as they were her own. This summer our very old cat got ill while we were away. Jennifer let us know immediately and arranged for her to see a vet. She made sure she received fluids and medication and was comfortable until we could get home to be with her. This is something that I hope no pet-sitter has to go through, but I am so grateful if someone had to, it was someone who not only acted in the most responsible way, but also in the most caring. I could go on and on and on about how amazing Jennifer is. If you are looking for an amazing individual to stay and your home and care for your pets, look no further!”
