“Jacob provided exceptional care for our cats while we were away. His communication was great, with regular updates and photos, giving us peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable and caring cat sitter!”
“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB! She keeps me and my boyfriend super up to date with communication, videos, and pictures ❤️ If I have any questions, Melina responds immediately. And she follows any requests for Ivy (our pup) closely. Looking forward to having Melina come back to watch Ivy soon☺️”
“Hannah is legitimately a dog whisperer. My pitbull is fearful and reactive toward people, but within a few minutes of their first meeting, Hannah had Maisie taking treats from her hand and playing fetch. Once she started playing fetch with Maisie, my dog completely ignored me and kept bringing the ball back to Hannah instead of me. Maisie has never done that with other people. I've had Hannah come to the house 3x and it's been great every time. Maisie loves her. Hannah is really easy to communicate with, is always on time and has great ideas about how to work with my dogs. I trust her and her instincts completely.”
“Jessica was communicative and friendly! I have one scaredy cat with special needs, & she handled him wonderfully. Both of my kitties were happy and well-taken care of while I was away. Knowing that Jessica was watching my pets helped me feel comfortable & relaxed. Will certainly book again!”
“Christine took care of our shy and not-so-friendly (or so we thought!) kitty. He LOVED hanging out with her and they even played games together. Thank you for taking such good care of Zion.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and adopted my dog from a shelter in 2011 with a friend. Recently, I fostered (and adopted!) two black kittens who stole my heart. 🐶🐱 I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every pet like family—whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care. I can do overnights or drop-ins, and I have my own car, so getting to you is never a problem. Your pets will be safe, happy, and loved with me! ❤️ I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. With my own car, getting to you is no problem, and you can count on me to keep tails wagging and paws happy! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, providing a safe, reliable, and loving environment.
About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.
About: Hi, I'm Sofia. One of my goals in life is to give my dog (ESA) the best life. That means providing enrichment through sniff-walks, exploring new parks, and introducing him to furry pals. We go almost everywhere together, wherever he is allowed - camping, hiking, run clubs. I've used Rover in the past to find dog sitters for my dog, and they have all provided top-notch service. Now, I find myself in a new apartment that is dog friendly and want to host other small, well-mannered, dog and apt-friendly dogs. My dog has some leash reactivity, we are working on it (he was a rescue), but he is super chill once they have been properly introduced in a neutral place. He loves cuddling with his pals, he has predominantly stayed with sitters that have other dogs and it has gone really well. Rest assure, when your furry friend stays with us, we will take him in as one of our furry pals. We do not have a yard, just a small front porch, where my dog loves sunbathing. We have a private entrance. As such, we go on at least 3 walks a day for potty breaks. A good fit would be furry friend that: 1. Gets along with my dog 2. Is potty trained 3. Is up-to-date with vaccinations (e.g. rabies) 4. Is not destructive of property 5. Can stay alone (with my dog) for several hours 6. Is on flea and tick preventative I work from home on Fridays, and can take care of your dog starting at 4pm. Just be sure to pack their favorite stuff and food for drop off at my place. Pick up and drop off time can be flexible I prefer to take care of my furry clients at home. Where i can also have my dog be a friendly companion to your furry friend and we know the neighborhood and the best spots to go on walks.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.
“I loved having Qishu drop by to visit my cat Beans. She would send lots of photos of my cat and that always made me feel confident about her care and that she was being played with. Qishu was super easy to be in contact with and always available if you had questions.”
“Cesar and Cindy take excellent care of Daisy when we are away. Daisy loves her playtime with them, and we are always grateful for the love they give her each visit. Thank you so much for all you do!”
“Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!”
About: I have over five years of experience caring for, playing with, and supporting all sizes of dogs. This includes adopting a puppy of my own. I am currently a co-parent to a four-year-old Chihuahua Terrier that I trained. Additionally, I have experience caring for senior dogs, sick dogs who need to visit the vet, and dogs with specific behavioral issues. I am a business consultant and a life coach working from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. This flexibility makes it easy for me to take dogs on walks, hikes, and potty breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and walking around the neighborhood. Having a dog by my side would add to the fun of these activities. I am very sensitive to people's homes and their dogs' routines. I follow instructions carefully and maintain a calm, centered space at home for the dog to feel confident and safe with me.
“Kay has come over to our home while we have been out of town on multiple occasions. We are SO grateful for her. Not only does she take fantastic care of our dog Louis, she is excellent at following instructions and details. I can’s say enough wonderful things about Kay!!”
About: I have ample love in my heart to care for your best fur friends and happy home. I’m comfortable with puppies, kitties, and senior animals and am willing to do extended stays to provide TLC while you attend to other important life matters. Active dogs will get plenty of exercise in their favorite spots, including trips to the beach, dog parks, trails, etc... Indoor animals will get their mental curiosity and physical needs met in the ways they love best. I work best with dogs who get along with other dogs. I am accepting clients in SF, Oakland, and the surrounding Bay Area, Marin, Sonoma, and Napa as well as throughout Central Florida, including Disney and Universal, and Tampa/St.Pete/Melbourne. I also have experience pet and house sitting internationally, including Mexico City and Paris. I follow your directions, give medications, and work with your animal's routines. I take care of one family at a time, meaning that your pets will not interact with other clients’ animals. I have the scheduling flexibility to work with your pets’ routines and needs. I am happy to meet clients once or on a recurring basis. First time meet and greets will be done in a public setting for our mutual safety. Your pets get individual attention suited to their needs. Nearby hills, flats, and dog parks abound. Tell me what your animal enjoys, and we’ll head there, play that game, provide snuggles when asked for, etc... If your dog is aggressive with humans or other animals, I need to decline for my own health and safety. Thanks for understanding.

I appreciated her attention to detail, from sticking to her feeding schedule to ensuring she got plenty of exercise. I would definitely rebook her services, knowing my furry friend is in caring hands.”
Dennis H.
“Dennis did a great job taking care of my dog and walking her while I was away. Thank you, Dennis!”
Sofia A.
“Sofia is an incredible dog parent. She is attentive, caring, and very knowledgeable. From her, I learned the importance of keeping an eye out for foxtail during walks as they pose a danger to pets. Her dog, Jack, has flourished under her care. He is now more easily trusting of people and is no longer as reactive on-leash. I'd highly recommend Sofia as a pet-sitter or walker any day.”
Hikaru & John M.
“Hikaru is a responsible and lovely person. She previously watched my 50-pound husky (Luna) for several days while I was out-of-town. I met with Hikaru a few times before she watched Luna. I could quickly tell from both her personality and her behavior towards myself and Luna that she is very responsible. I provided Hikaru with all of Luna's stuff (food, water bottle, leash, etc), a summary of her daily habits, and instructions on meals. Hikaru read them and instead of guessing, she asked questions within a few hours to make sure that she is properly taking care of Luna the way I wanted. She texted me pictures of Luna several times, one of which included an 8-mile hike (perfect for an active 1-year-old husky). When I returned home to pick up Luna, Hikaru was jogging with Luna. If I had to choose my top two most valued characteristics of Hikaru, it would definitely be her love for dogs and strong sense of responsibility. I would definitely ask Hikaru to dog sit for me again.”

Emily D.
“Emily is one of the most giving, affectionate, and reliable people I know. She genuinely loves all living things, but she definitely has a soft spot for the puppers. She will baby your pooch just as if he or she were her own. She's had her own dog, Honey, for the last 12 years, but sadly recently lost her. So, she has all sorts of extra puppy love to direct at your fur-baby. And Emily is incredibly dependable. When she says she will be there, she will. She always does what she says she will, and she gives it her all. Your fuzz-butt will have a great time with her!”
