“Jiaji took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away. They were fed on a regular basis and the litter box was cleaned daily. One of my cats had been severely traumatized in its previous life, and he was given special attention and care to the point where he accepted my cat sitter as a friend, and he even got up in her lap for treats and affection. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets as she did a great job with mine.”

About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.

About: I’ve been lucky to care for dogs, cats, and bunnies through every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also pet sat for others for extended periods of time, including 4 to 6 weeks at a time, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I care for each pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, all dog sizes, and pets who need medication or a little extra attention. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, cuddly, independent, or in their senior years, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting based on your pet’s needs. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know it can feel stressful to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure their needs are met with patience and attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and keeping their routine familiar helps them feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of interaction and play, while others prefer a calmer approach and need time to build trust. I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes your pet feel most comfortable and relaxed. Safety is extremely important to me. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, and home access, and I always double-check that pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that may be important, and I’ll communicate with you promptly if I notice any concerns. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and have complete peace of mind knowing they were cared for with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
“Jessica was amazing. She worked with all sorts of mayhem i had handled my dog well with care and was consistently communicative. As a helicopter parent i couldnt recommend her more”

“Alex was excellent with our boy (cat). Alex is very patient, calm and caring pet sitter i can see he is true animal lover. He followed all the instructions during the visit. He even made sure to take the package from door step and put it inside in our absence. I strongly recommend him and will be booking him again for future visits”

“Veronica is so wonderful. She took care of our two cats. I was so impressed by her attention to details. After each drop in, she gave detailed notes on what was done (changing water, refilling feeder, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) I was worry-free while away from my house. She very responsive on messages and very kind. Highly recommended.”

About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.
“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Su is so wonderful with our girl, Harley! She really cares about Harley and it absolutely shows. We so appreciate her fitting us into her schedule with very short notice for these drop-in visits.”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.
“Siqin is super sweet! She stopped by before the visit to meet my cats and get to know them a bit, which was really thoughtful. During the drop-in, she sent lots of pics and videos and made sure to play with them. They both seemed really happy and comfortable with her. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom to a 11-year-old Chihuahua mix (Moocow) and an 8-year-old Husky(Maya). I previously hosted on Rover but took a two-year hiatus to focus entirely on Maya’s recovery following a major lung surgery. Now that she is healthy, I am thrilled to open my home to guest pups again! Working from home five days a week allows me to provide 100% supervision and companionship. Because Moocow is slowing down, Maya is looking for new playmates! It’s the perfect setup: your dog gets a built-in best friend for exercise and socialization, and I get to provide the high-quality care every pup deserves. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete like Maya or a relaxed senior like Moocow, I have the experience and the heart to make them feel right at home. I am currently working full-time but I work from home 5 days a week. I can provide services such as boarding, day care, and walks. We live in a spacious 1,200 sq. ft. apartment with a secure, fenced-in patio. We’re big on walks here, usually 3 to 4 times a day for about 20–30 minutes each. If the weather is nice and not too toasty for those paws, we love to stay out even longer to explore!
About: Hi! I'm Natalie and I'm looking forward to possibly getting to know you and your fur babies! A little about myself: I'm very detail oriented and caring, meaning that your pets will be watched carefully and respectfully. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. I'm open and communicative and I'm always willing to connect with you. I'm a recent college graduate from San Diego State and a Bay Area native! I'm currently back home after graduation and looking for a job in the media industry, currently with a lot of free time on my hands! I'm starting to book for Bay Area residents starting June 14th, 2026 after moving back from San Diego! I will make sure to follow rules that the pet is familiar with (for example: no jumping on couches; going outside for bathroom breaks, etc.) and if the owner is currently training the pet, I will help with that as well.
“Thomas has been incredible with my dogs. He goes above and beyond to ensure this is a good fit! He is incredible at matching their energies and has been SO incredibly patient with my dog who is very reserved and protective at the beginning. He’s managed to make so much progress with him! He has been very communicative with us and asking and answering all the important questions. It has made a huge difference in my level of comfort, knowing I can trust him with my dogs. I really appreciate all the detailed updates and pictures he sends us even though I may not answer immediately because I’m at work. These updates ease my worries! He is very good with my high energy, big dog and they have responded well to him I also really appreciate the amount of detail he places in my written instruction and requests. I continue to look forward to his weekly visits with my dogs”

About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time
About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 10 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live in a 3BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.
South Sundale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jill was wonderful. She was so patient with my shy cats and made sure they ate! She also cleaned up after them when they were messy. I really appreciated all the great photos. This was the first time my cats and I had a non family member take care of the cats, and Jill took care of my anxiety as well as my cats’ needs.

Paige was warm, kind, and very easy to work with. From our first meeting, she took an interest in learning about my outdoor cats and their individual needs. She provided updates during her visits, which I appreciated, and it was clear that she cared about the animals. I found Paige to be communicative and friendly throughout the booking. She was also very accommodating when our schedule changed and made arrangements to be flexible! Thank you for helping care for my cats and for taking the time to keep me informed while I was away!
Ashley takes great care of our two cats, Miko and Hutcha, during our time away. She did everything we requested, and is very good with communication. We are especially delighted and surprised to hear that Miko approached Ashley and they played. It’s good to see that Miko has become more socialized (with the right person!)

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Charlene as our cat sitter. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and went out of her way to make sure our cats were comfortable and cared for while we were away. What really stood out to us was how genuinely sweet and caring she was with them — she didn’t just stop by to complete the basics, but actually spent quality time playing with them and giving them attention during every visit. We could tell she truly cares about animals, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! 😊 Sijia was incredibly kind, flexible, reliable, and took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our cat and our home. What meant the most to us was how quickly the two of them connected — our cat loved her right away, and it was obvious that she truly cares about animals and pays attention to every little detail. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip, and we could really relax knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for all the care and love she gave him. We will absolutely book her again for our next vacation and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter! ❤️

Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!

Lynette is a very responsible and attentive cat sitter. I really like that she follows instructions, plays with my cats and even made sure my shyer cat was included during her visits. She made sure that their litter area was clean and even vacuumed surrounding area if there were tracks on the carpet. My cats received fresh water and food everyday when we were away and wet food bowls were cleaned after use. Thank you for taking care of Allo and Juni!
