“Catherine was very communicative and easy to work with! She made super Bubba was cared for and sent lots of photos so I was able to feel like I was there! Will be rebooking with her in the future no doubt.”
“Excellent punctuality and some of the best and most consistent communication from a sitter. We will hire her again when we go out of town to take care of our cats if she is available”

“Kevin is amazing!!!! I messaged him last minute before a quick day trip and I kid you not he responded in less than 3 minutes and was at my door to meet my dog and myself within the next 30. Beyond punctual, friendly and kind. 10/10 experience and would absolutely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.
“Michael did a great job with a drop in visit this time. The pups were ecstatic to see him. He he took them out and also played ball with them for a while in the backyard. I can always be confident that during my longer business days that our dogs are happy and well cared for.”
“Kiley took great care of my fur babies while I was out of town for a few days. It greatly reduced the anxiety of leaving them alone to know that even the shyer of my two kitties was comfortable with some pets and cuddle time. Kiley sent photos and feedback every day, letting me know how my pets were doing.”
About: Healthcare worker by day, pet sitter… also by day. I’ve worked with animals since I was 15, pet sitting and volunteering at cat shelters. I love spending time with them and taking some stress off owners while they’re away. I can also take care of plants, reptiles, etc. I’m available Monday-Friday after 5 pm and weekends any time! I only do overnight house sitting on weekends as well, but I can make exceptions for emergencies! The animal/owner preference always comes first! My kitties are very dog-like, I take them on walks and bring them to cafes for enrichment. I love working with both cats and dogs since it lets me spend time with some puppies!
“This is the second time Sherina has taken care of my cat and garden, and her care and consideration is outstanding; both times, she has gone above and beyond the job description. I forgot it was trash day the day before I was coming home, and she noticed the neighbors had their cans outside. My recycling was completely full, and she was kind enough to take it out. This attention to detail extended to her care for my cat, who immediately recognized her as his new best friend. Sherina’s love for animals is evident beyond the pets entrusted in her care; my cat is a remorseless hunter, and she rescued a baby bunny from the backyard before the cat could catch it. The cat quickly forgave her with the distraction of his favorite treats. Sherina also has a green thumb; she kept my garden thriving during a heat wave, and sent me updates on the blooming flowers in addition to adorable cat in action pictures. She also noticed the nozzle attachment to my automatic drip system had a crack and was leaking. I ordered the replacement, and Sherina offered to switch out the broken one for the new one. I felt like it was a lot to ask since I hadn’t included horticultural engineering in the contract, but she said she would be happy to fix it. When I returned, the drip system was better than ever- no leak, low water bill, no wasted water and happy flowers. What’s more, Sherina was able to watch the house an extra day on short notice when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. If I could give her ten stars, I would! You can be assured that your pet and home will be in loving and competent hands when you’re out of town. Thank you, Sherina, Kepa will be happy to see you again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of animals since I was a child. I am a dog mom to a big rescue dog named Jimmy. I love the outdoors and going for walks. I have experience working with shelter animals who have had a tough transition into their forever homes. I also have experience in senior dogs as well as end of life care for our fur family members I currently work from home so if you need someone to come and sit with your babies I am free to do so. I have all mornings/ early afternoons off through the week. Tuesdays I work early but am off at 11am and am free after that. Weekends I’m fully open. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with a dog myself. I live close to trails and the Rancho San Rafael dog park. I also am flexible in whatever your pers needs are
“Mariana is so good with our little pup. She sends cute photos and is super reliable. I’m glad we connected with her because I know my pup is well cared for. Definitely recommend!”
“Monica was a wonderful help while I was away. My usually very timid and anxious cat warmed up to her immediately. She made sure he got all his medicine daily, played with him and went above and beyond to clean some cat throw up off my carpet one day. Highly recommend.”
“Wendy really helped us out on very short notice. We were stuck out of town and I reached out on very short notice and she was able to stop by and feed and care for my kitties. Thank you Wendy!”
About: I am an elementary school teacher in summer break and an animal lover! I have had small dogs all the way up to 110 bull mastiffs. I love elderly pets and bouncy youngsters. I have reptile and fish and chicken experience. Also, abilities to take care of plant pets as well! I have had animals my entire life and have a home full of furry friends today! I’m currently on summer break so my availability is wide open. I’m an early bird who can get those walks in before the heat hits. I know animals love a schedule and I can help to keep the consistency! I have a fenced in yard with friendly dogs who love to play. I am a teacher with the district who gets yearly background checks and reliable transportation
About: I care for them like family! I have experience with everything from puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who deserve extra patience, comfort, and gentle care. I pay attention to the little things that keep animals happy whether that’s extra cuddle time, slow walks for older dogs, or enrichment games for energetic pups and curious cats. I’m reliable, communicative, and always send updates because i can’t help but take a million photos I have a super flexible work schedule so conflicts should never happen! I am able to chose my schedule most of the time but i can be very efficient with communicating schedules In my home, my pet basically becomes my roommate (the kind that gets all the treats and never has to do chores). They’ll get cuddles, playtime, walks, and naps. I keep their routine on track! In your home, I’m the stand-in human your pet didn’t know they needed. I make sure their meals, walks, and playtime happen on schedule, and of course plenty of pets. I leave your place just as tidy as I found it, maybe with a few extra paw-prints of happiness. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free no matter where you are.
“Laura is great! She is so good with my dog. She goes above and beyond to give her what she needs. She is very responsive and I love all the photos she takes for the Rover card. I will absolutely book with Laura again!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of providing reliable, loving pet care for over 15 years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. From daily walks and feeding routines to overnight stays and special care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. My long-term clients appreciate my dependability, communication, and the calm, caring environment I provide for their furry family members. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays vary, but generally after 2pm I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass, one very friendly dog to keep yours company, and two dog kennels to crate if needed.

Kiley brought our 2 kittens out of their shell in no time. She seemed really in-tuned with their needs and was able to make them comfortable in the short time she was here. Our female kitten, Ember, is usually quite guarded so for her to be out playing the entire time says a lot. Thank you, Kiley for taking such great care of our kitties!
Kevin is amazing!!!! I messaged him last minute before a quick day trip and I kid you not he responded in less than 3 minutes and was at my door to meet my dog and myself within the next 30. Beyond punctual, friendly and kind. 10/10 experience and would absolutely book again!
Mariana was very punctual and showed up on time for every appointment. She made sure that Skippy was taken care of and had a topped off water bowl, and even cleaned up after dinner despite it not being required of her services. She is definitely at the top of my list of returning Rovers because of how amazing she is for her two tenures for Skippy and I!
Athena and Natas have welcomed Luna into their circle. They are very happy with her care for them. They enjoy their pets, belly rubs, brushing, being fed and being cleaned up after by Luna. They absolutely approve. And so do I. We are very fortunate to be able to find a trustworthy and awesome kitty sitter. Thank you Luna!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She was incredibly consistent, always on time, and took such great care of our pets while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was handled perfectly. She followed every detail, kept things clean and organized, and clearly cared about our cats’ well-being. Highly recommend!
