“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Heather gives Meg and Simon so much love and attention when she's here. So much that my neighbors notice in a positive way. Heather also will do little things around the house like water plants, run the dishwasher, etc. She usually leaves my place nicer than I left it. I never have a worry when Heather is watching my two goofballs.”
“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”

My living space also has an outdoor shared yard that is enclosed to keep all the dogs safe and relaxing place to get some air and sniff around.

“Kerri was super communicative, so clearly loved spending time and taking care of my cats. Super respectful of my home and initiated help with the trash day. Will definitely request her help in the future. Thank you Kerri!”
“Sarah is wonderful. She swooped in and saved me from a pet sitting situation gone wrong while I was out of state. Sarah cared for and loved on my fur babies as if they were her own and was respectful of my home. She is reliable and trustworthy, kind and caring, responsive and responsible. I will definitely be asking Sarah to pet/house sit again”

“Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.”

About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.
“Nicole was fabulous! my inbox stayed busy with postings about what was happening back home with my little dog, starting with his sadness at my departure, on through his playtimes and walks and naps until the last night when he moved into bed with Nicole, sign of total surrender to her charms! Each posting included wonderful photos so that by the end I had a portfolio as if from a professional photo-shoot! memories to treasure! I was welcomed home by a happy, healthy pooch I had been hesitant to leave with anyone --thanks to Nicole, he did great!”

About: I had my own very cherished Mini Pinscher Leah that passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed the companionship of pets but am not yet ready for a commitment after that grief. I cat sit for my sister regularly, and am looking to be of help to any families/pet owners in my local community whose pets I can treat with care and respect. I am available to walk any dogs after work ends at 6 PM and am happy to have any pets board with me on the weekends!

South Stonehurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!
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!”
Daria was a great dog/house sitter, even with a last-minute booking and a sick dog. She watched our dog for over a week and even did an unexpected vet visit when she wasn’t feeling well and needed extra tests and adjustment in her medications. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands!
Aisha is an amazing dog sitter, she’s very responsive, kind and competent when it comes to watching our two dogs. We have one dog who requires a higher level of care and I felt confident leaving him in Aisha’s care for the weekend. I will continue to use Aisha as a reliable dog sitter.
I can't thank him enough for the amazing care he gave to my dogs, Lana and Happy. From the very beginning, he treated them like his own. He even gave them a new ball, took them to the lake for walks and playtime, and kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of all the love and attention, he made sure they were always safe and happy. It's clear he truly loves what he does, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend him without hesitation!
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Leo took amazing care of my 12-year old dog Jasper while I was away and made sure he was comfortable and well loved the entire time. It was such a relief to receive daily photo updates—some were adorable, and others were downright hilarious! It was clear Jasper was in great hands and enjoying himself. On top of that, he went above and beyond by tidying up around the house. Everything was neat and clean when I got home, and I could tell he had even vacuumed. It was such a thoughtful touch to return to a clean space after traveling. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with my dog again!
Nia came through and saved the day! I couldn't have picked a better sitter for my boys. On top of being super responsive and accepting a relatively last minute booking, she also was very personable and kind. I was so thankful that despite not feeling 100%, she still watched my dogs. I think I can speak for Zeke and Smush in saying we are all happy to only book with Nia moving forward. She’s the best!
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing. She was super flexible when my travel plans changed, sent daily updates with pictures, handled both of my high-energy dogs incredibly well, and showed great care and respect in my home. My dogs were challenging and she rose to the occasion and handled every issue with professionalism and graciousness. I was unsure about using Rover but Ashlyn went above and beyond to take care of my dogs and keep me informed while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Alyssa has helped us twice now with our senior French Bulldog. Our dog needs 2 medications daily and has some special dietary needs and Alyssa has handled it all with great care and professionalism. But the best review is from our sweet pup who was excited to see Alyssa again when she returned. That was truly the vote that mattered. We travel a lot and finding care for our dog is our highest priority. Alyssa has been a wonderful find.
Amiri has been fantastic with our pets. He was very diligent and took great care of them, including giving his medication to our senior dog. He went above and beyond, was very responsive and gave us great updates and pictures. We would love to hire him again to take care of our pets - we definitely fully trust him!
Juliette was a wonderful house pet sitter for our husky and shorthaired cat, and they can be a handful! She was puntual, communicative, attentive to all the asks we had for the sitting, asked relevant details pertaining to the animals and the house, and took care of everything we asked for! She was also great at sharing updates and photos! We came back to a happy set of furbabies that were well cared for by Juliette, reliving us of the stress of leaving them behind whenever we need to travel. Highly recommended!
Sarah was easy to communicate with and very responsive! She took great care of our little chihuahua, ensuring she felt comfortable in the space and with her new dog sitter. Sandy gave Sarah lots of kisses and love when we picked her up - she didn’t want to leave! Sarah sent us lots of photos and updates while she was sitting, and it looked like they had a lot of fun together. Fantastic sitter, I will book with Sarah again!
