“Heleen is so wonderful! I've never had someone come over to my home to help with my pups so I came into this with some nervousness. Heleen immediately put me at ease - she offered to do a meet and greet for pups and me and asked such great questions too (such as if there are dogs in our neighborhood she should stay away from - yes and what a detailed question). I'm grateful for her professionalism, timeliness and how she interacts with my dogs. Very grateful!”
“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”
About: I've been caring for our sweet cat since 2021, after my husband and I welcomed her into our home. She's brought us so much joy, and over the years I've become very familiar with feeding, bathing, playing, and understanding her little moods. My love for animals started much earlier—when I was around 10 years old, I had a small dog back in my home country. He was my best friend growing up, and we were together through all his life. Now living in the U.S., I truly miss having more furry friends around. That's why I'm so excited for the chance to meet, care for, and connect with your pets as if they were my own! I work in a hybrid schedule, and on the days I’m home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your sweetie the attention and care they deserve. Plus, my husband works from home full-time, so there’s always someone around to help with snuggles, playtime, and potty breaks — it’s easy for us to make pet care part of our daily routine! My home is in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood in Belmont, with a beautiful fenced yard that’s perfect for safe play and outdoor time. Your furry baby will love exploring and strolling around here! For drop-in visits, I‘ll make sure to spend quality time with your pet — whether it’s playtime, feeding, or bringing along some favorite toys to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away. Every pet is like family — with lots of love, patience, and gentle care.
“Natalie is very reliable. My cat is so shy but she is getting used to Natalie from the second visit. My cat seems to have no stress despite our vacation. Thanks for taking care of my baby.”
About: We are a family of four who loves dogs. Our lives center around our healthy 5 year old lab retriever Texas who spayed and updated with her shots. We live in the beautiful hills of Belmont and have a deck for dogs to sunbathe on and a fenced yard to play and get their wiggles out. I’m a dog walker so what better than walking two dogs versus one! 7am potty break, 7.30am Breakfast, 8-9am morning play, relax/sunbathe (dogs 😊), 10-11 am bathroom break 4pm - dinner, 5-7 pm walk , lights out -10.30pm Before boarding it’s imperative that we meet the dog and the dogs meet each other. Smaller dogs get very defensive affront large dogs and since we have a large dog I’m right now restricted to large dogs only. Our fenced yard is a perfect place for dogs to play and have fun with the gazillion toys we have. We also live 5min away from a dog park so if your dog is friendly and has a good recall that’s another place we can have fun. I take time to build and earn the dog’s trust - some treats go a long way. I check their paws after playing to ensure nothing is bothering and also keep a keen eye on any scratching or biting.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.
“Peter took really good care of my cats, he checked on all 4 of them at house and cleaned really well the litter and gave them food, always sent daily photos of all the cats, I would definitely contact him again if we need someone to take care of our cats”
“Alanna took care of our cat and dog when we were out of town for a long weekend. It takes a lot of trust to turn over your pets and home to someone you meet for the first time, but Alanna inspired our trust immediately. She has a warm, friendly, competent manner that left us feeling confident that all was in good hands. Her three times daily visits were punctual, with detailed summaries and great photos. We will definitely reach out to Alana for future visits and recommend her highly!”
About: I taught my two Labradors how to walk with assistance from a trainer. I am confident that I can walk your dog safely. If the dog is off-leash trained, I can also take them to the dog park and let them run or throw a ball. Weekdays from 9am to 2pm. Weekday evenings from 6pm onwards. Weekend mornings are also available. I can sign a contract for a fixed time every week. I would love to allow dogs to freely enjoy the living room of my house. They are allowed on couches as well. I also have a gated front yard which can be used for the toilet or sunbathing. I can provide overnight care at my home only if I have built a trusting relationship with your dog as a dog walker.
“Menghan is a wonder sitter. This is the second time I’ve used her. My dogs love her. She is extremely communicative, spends quality time and sends cute photos! I plan on using her ever I can for my babies!”
About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I'm patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, slow walks for older pups, or active playtime for energetic dogs, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m currently very flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, or playtime I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and give pets lots of attention and affection while respecting their space. I also stay in touch with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe. If I ever have a question or notice something unusual, I’ll reach out right away.
About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life and they are my favorite animals. My neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’m currently working a very flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to hangout and take care of my dog and other dogs. I am also very athletic and am always going on runs with my dog. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard and a 6 year old playful lab to keep your pup company. The bay trail is right behind my house so taking the dogs on walks is super safe!
“Amanda took care of my cat Butters for 6 days. Each day I got a wonderful update on her wellness and wonderful pictures to match. I will most definitely have Amanda back to care for my cat.”
About: I have had dogs since I was born and love going on walks with them, feeding them, and playing with them. I have three rescue dogs right now! I have 3 dogs at home so daily I will walk and feed them as well as hangout with them. I am always taking care of them throughout the day. I care for pets in my home and also other peoples homes by making sure they always have water and give them food when it’s time. I will always make sure they are able to go to the bathroom aswell.
About: I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable caring for them. I have spent the last 10 years dogsitting/catsitting for friends and neighbors when they travel. I'm an active person and can adjust my sitter responsibilities according to your dog's needs and activity level, whether that means playing fetch, going on a hike, or a slow walk around the neighborhood. I'm happy to accommodate specific instructions or circumstances to make sure your dog is happy and entertained while under my care. I love dogs of all sizes and personalities and am looking forward to meeting some new pups! I work from home primarily and have a flexible schedule throughout the day, especially midday if walks or potty breaks are needed during business hours. All pets and owners are different so I will always defer to a given household's rules for their pet regarding commands, treats, do's and don'ts, and routines.
About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits • Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment. • Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress. • Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation. • Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles. • Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind. I work weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for morning and evening visits—perfect for feeding, companionship, or check-ins before and after work. Weekends are more flexible, allowing for extended care, walks, or overnight stays as needed. I respect and follow each pet’s existing routine to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. • I ensure pets are fed on schedule, walked or played with, and given attention and affection—just like they would receive from their own family. • I maintain a tidy space, clean up after pets, and keep the environment safe and secure. • I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will immediately communicate with owners if something seems off.

I also appreciated that she checked in with me before taking Winnie anywhere we hadn't discussed. She even left an adorable "report card" for Winnie which was such a cute and appreciated detail. Katie left my house clean and tidy. I would absolutely ask Katie to care for Winnie again!”

Sugerloaf pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bobbi is a STAR!! We're new to the area and one of our cats was still not quite settled in and still showing some signs of distress. So we were happy to find Bobbi, who understood our concerns. But Bobbi had to deal with a different problem - raccoons had apparently been casing our house and took advantage on the second night we were gone. Fortunately, Bobbi spotted right away that "something was in the house that is not a cat!", caught the offenders on camera, and adjusted her visits to keep the cats and house safe and secure. We can't recommend Detective Bobbi highly enough!
Annie is an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of sitting/walking/drop-ins. It's very easy to see that she is passionate about her work and truly loves the animals she cares for. I am a very anxious pet parent and I feel very safe leaving our babies in her care :) Very quick to respond to messages at any time of day and takes loads of great pictures at every visit. Thanks again, Annie!
Erika was extremely easy to work with for our only cat! We had a meet and greet in person ahead of our weekend get away trip. She came with the warmest smile and a friendly attitude. And did everything we asked her to do to the T. We are always anxious to leave our cat home alone, but Erika really provided us peace of mind while we were away, and for that we are so grateful for her help! High recommended!
As always, Jennifer was so amazing with my two kitties on my recent trip! They are normally very shy with people besides me but they are so relaxed and engaged when Jennifer visits. I come home to two very happy and content cats. It makes me feel so much better about leaving them when I travel, knowing they are in such capable hands. Thank you!!
After having the hardest time finding someone to help walk my fur baby overnight, Amber and her Partner were life savers. Sending many pictures and leaving the sweetest notes, my Ponyo has made great new friends! We look forward to rebooking and seeing them again soon!
Alessandra was wonderful taking care of our anxious, senior dog. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She arrived a little early to both bookings and when we returned home our dog was happy and relaxed. She was great about sending updates and cute pictures of our dog. It's obvious Alessandra is very comfortable around dogs and her calm, sweet energy was perfect for our little guy. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again.
