Emiliano was our first male to sit for our 1yo puppy. He was extremely gentle and caring and agreed to meet with us and our pup before his stay. He went out of his way to make sure our home looked even better than we left it, with a happy dog to come home to also.

Katrina did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She was very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and put great effort into playing, talking and feeding them. She gave updates with photos, videos, and messages and was always very responsive. We definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.

Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.

We had such a great experience with Sarah! She stayed at our home for four nights with our senior pup, Kuma, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Kuma requires medication and specific feeding instructions, and she handled everything thoughtfully and responsibly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our older girl was in capable hands. She sent regular updates, communicated clearly throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of both Kuma and our home. You can tell she’s attentive and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and grew up helping care for three family dogs—a German Shepherd/Husky (Wong), a Rottweiler (Choi), and a Border Collie mix (Bella)—from ages 10–21. That experience gave me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, and providing consistent structure, and I always aim to make dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I miss my dogs dearly and helping you would help fill in that void. My schedule is very flexible, and work from home. On my days off, I enjoy going on long walks, hiking, and relaxing with Netflix. I live in a clean, spacious, pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment. I can also set up safety gates to keep pets out of the kitchen while I'm cooking, ensuring they stay safe from any food or spills. I'm located near trails and plenty of green space, providing great opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I currently have an open schedule. Whether if you need a sitter for date night, going on a vacation, or even if you need a break from life, I am your guy! I have a big apartment with my fiancée and have plenty of walking areas in the peninsula. I can also take your dog to great highway for a long walk or even hangout at the beach!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach and genuine love for animals. Having spent two years caring for coworkers’ dogs, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and routines. I don’t just watch over pets—I build a bond with them, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Additionally, my experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments has made me adaptable and attentive. I prioritize clear communication with owners, providing updates, photos, and ensuring peace of mind. Reliability, patience, and a commitment to top-quality pet care make me stand out in a field where trust is everything. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly because I prioritize it as a natural part of my day. I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’ve been caring for coworkers’ dogs for the past two years, I’m experienced in balancing pet care with other responsibilities while ensuring that every dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment by maintaining their regular routines, offering plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I ensure they have food and water, a cozy resting area, and follow any special care instructions from their owners. Safety and companionship are my top priorities.

About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and have been petsitting since I was 18 years old. I am familiar and comfortable with the routine that comes with caring, exercising, and loving all different types of dogs. I currently have a small network of clients who have trusted me with their pets for 7+ years. I am typically an early riser and love morning walks to start the day. There is also a park a few blocks away that I regularly run to myself. Whether I care for pets in my home or their own, I try my best to adhere to their routine and comforts. My favorite thing to do is go on nice walks with the dogs I care for and make sure they have enough safe playtime. I work on a hybrid schedule, but am fortunate enough to have plenty of flexibility. I am mainly available on weekends, as I will be home all day and can give proper attention and care to the pets I care for. When caring for pets, I try my best to adhere to their specified routines and boundaries. I live in a clean, cozy duplex and am able to take pets out for bathroom breaks conveniently.

Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!

About: Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile! I practically grew up in a zoo - lizards, birds, dogs, frogs, cats, you name it, my family fostered an animal loving environment. Friends and family say I’m the “go to” and “hands on” gal when it comes to any pet related questions. My experience ranges from young to senior animals, I believe every step of a pet’s life requires love and attention. I also have over 5 years of volunteer experience at my local humane society. :) So excited to meet you and your furry family members! WHY IM ON ROVER: Not only do I love animals, I love connecting with my community and getting outdoors. AVAILABILITY: I work 8am-5pm but I am also fairly flexible and can make something work if given enough notice :) Saturday-Sunday: open availability unless noted otherwise! Drop-ins and walks are my main focus but can make overnight stay exceptions for repeat clients! I prefer to watch pets in my client’s home and have many years of experience as a trusted nanny, pet sitter and house sitter (and can provide references upon request!)

About: I have experience with Training as well as dog handling from puppies to senior care I can do it all! I also have experience distributing medications as well as caring for special needs pups.I have 5 dogs of my own so I know how crazy caring for your pup can get and how difficult it can be leaving your pet while your on trips wether it’s work or vacations and I’m here to help! I am fully vaccinated. I currently work part time at a veterinary hospital and I’m saving up to go to school to be a registered veterinary technician! I have been in vet med for over a year. Since I have quite a few pups of my own at home I will like to provide pet care in my clients home.I plan on taking your dog on many potty breaks as well as walks especially for the more energetic dogs the more walks and outside time the better! If your dog is a bit more anxious like mine are I can provide snuggle time and a calm atmosphere when my dogs are a bit nervous I play dog tv for them it usually distracts them and keeps them nice and grounded.If you prefer for your dog to be crated for a certain amount of time a day or during the night I can do that as well.Its all about the owners preference every dog is different and has different needs.

We greatly appreciated Thea staying at our home to gently and lovingly care for our elderly dog (14 years old)! Our dog requires extra TLC with special instructions for her food and medications. Thea texted us regularly, shared a photo, and assured us that our dog was doing well. This instilled in us a tremendous comfort knowing that our dog was well taken care of during our trip! When we returned, everything was so clean and tidy. We hope to continue having Thea care for our dog whenever we travel! Thanks Thea!

Jess is an absolute gem of a sitter. She stayed with our two dogs for several days while we were out of town, took amazing care of them, and sent us lots of pictures. I *know* she took amazing care of them because in the photos, the dogs were being their normal and lovely selves. Plus, when we got home, they were well-rested and happy, and our little guy watched the street for a long time after Jess left. ("Where did my friend go?" was the caption under his cute face.) I will 100% hire her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing caretaker for their pets.
