“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”
“Erika is an exceptional doggie sitter! My four-legged baby, Nova, is a lively and energetic puppy—full of joy, love, and a whole lot of personality. She can definitely be a handful at times, but Erika handles her with such calm, patient energy that it’s truly impressive. Nova absolutely adores spending time with her and loves being part of the pack. The daily updates and delightful stories Erika shares are a highlight of my day and always bring a smile to my face. Knowing that Nova is in such caring and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. Erika is truly wonderful!”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Jessie was great with Rocco. She took him on daily walks and sent daily pictures. He loved it! She was also super flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend and will use her again for my next trip.”
“My little dog had a great time for a 5 night stay with Hy and Arlo. I was grateful for them responding so quickly to my initial request. We arranged a meet and greet at their home, and my dog was quickly at home in their lovely house and back yard. Hy sent many beautiful pics to me throughout the stay and let me know how he was doing. Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Stephanie is an incredible sitter who continues to play a big role in Otis’s development. After a stay with her pack, Otis always returns happy and well-socialized. She provides thoughtful, consistent updates that make us feel connected and reassured while we’re away - even continuing his learning by incorporating some of his latest training and commands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about Otis and tailors each stay to support his growth and happiness. We’re so thankful!”
“Daryl and Andrew were wonderful. They were patient, warm, and very caring with our pup Loki. In addition, they were gracious in enabling us to slightly shift pick up time at the last minute. I would highly recommend them.”
“Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”
“I am so grateful to have found Kelly. She is very intentional about providing excellent care and I felt completely at ease with Ginger in her care. She sent updates and photos and I could see my Ginger was happy. Thank you Kelly!”
“What a wonderful couple and their dog, Echo! Cindy took great care of my dog. She took him and her dog for daily walks and sent me daily pictures. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with Cindy, her husband and dog, Echo. My dog and hers became fast buddies. I would recommend them to anyone and I will rebook with them when needed.”
“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”
“As usual, Luffy had a fantastic experience with Faye and Josh. They take incredible care of him and are very nurturing and mindful of his needs. I’m really grateful that I never have to worry about Luffy when I’m traveling and out of town!”
“Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”

“Great job, our pets and their space was well take care of! Before we left, Megan & Jenny R were collaborating with us on how to provide the best care, and stayed in touch during their visits.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative throughout the entire booking—quick to respond and always kept us updated with the cutest photos. She followed all instructions carefully, and my cat HaoHao was happy and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was looking after her. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Cathy is very friendly and caring, my cats are not very social and she still did her best to engage with them while still giving them the space they needed. I got daily update pictures and the house was left just as she found it. Highly recommended!”
“Alyssa was so great with my two cats. She had excellent communication, reliable, and super friendly! I really appreciated her willingness to coordinate a meet and greet with my mother while I was away, and would highly highly recommend her for any one needing a cat sitter. My girls loved her!”
“Diana was helpful and communicative and trustworthy with our little bunny, who was honestly pretty messy and required some extra / unexpected care because he got sick and needed medicine. Diana was very consistent with the updates and we loved having someone so local to provide for Janus.”
“Great person to work with. She asks all the right questions which I found really reassuring. Helpful check-ins even with my very shy cats. I couldn’t be more happy with my first time using Rover.”
“We could not be more pleased with the excellence of Eleanna's cat care. We returned to two happy and healthy cats and a tidy home. She handled a complex feeding routine complete with medications. My cats love to play, one loves to eat and one resists eating, and most importantly, they want a lap. Eleanna provided all this and lots of photos along with the way. We found her to be intelligent, kind, and patient; even staying later into the night when our flight placed us way behind schedule. I also appreciated her willingness to ask questions to make sure she got things right. I'm grateful for a vacation with peace of mind.”
“Maricruz was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two free-roam bunnies. One of my bunnies is really shy, but he immediately felt safe around her and connected with her. Maricruz sent lots of photos and great updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. She kept everything so tidy and clean. I highly recommend Maricruz!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and small changes, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience with different personalities, including more sensitive or particular pets. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of their space, whether that means giving them extra attention or letting them come to me on their own terms. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and playtime preferences. I also know how important updates are, so I’ll keep you informed with photos and check-ins so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Carri was wonderful! She took great care of my two cats. She was communicative, caring, trustworthy, and dependable. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“My skittish large breed puppy was very happy in Toon's care. He really is excellent with dogs and dogs love him as well. He took him out on plenty of walks and time at the dog parks. Will certainly recommend him and we will be going to him a lot more in the future. We are so lucky he is in our area.”
“I decided to use Charlene's doggy day care service for our beloved Luna for the first time. Over the course of two days, Charlene demonstrated great flexibility by accommodating my specific drop-off time. Throughout Luna's stay, Charlene consistently shared updates and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease while we were attending an event. I highly recommend Charlene's pet care service to anyone in search of exceptional care for their furry friends.”

About: I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children. As a college student that has classes online, my schedule can be quite flexible. I am happy & willing to work with clients to best help with what they need. Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.
About: I have had my own sweet pup for over 14 years. Assisted heavily during some of the major fires in northern California over the years, working with several professional animal rescue teams. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes just out here hoping to help as many pups as possible. Recently relocated to the Bay Area & while looking for my next full time opportunity decided to lean into some of my passions. Dogs being #1! If I can do that through this app while bringing in a little cash on the side, what could be better? Currently available full time. I’m very active so love taking walks. (My senior dog has slowed down so I’m missing a walking buddy.) I do have a small fenced backyard with grass. Our house is very dog friendly.
“Sydney was incredible with our Waldo! Our pup often walks better with another doggy friend, and Sydney was open and flexible with scheduling a meet up for our dogs in advance of the week I desperately needed some dog walking help. She included lots of photos & updates and was reliable. My dog always seemed her happiest self when I got home after a long day. 10/10 would book again!!!”
“Laura has helped us care for our senior dog in the most loving way! She provided daily walks for Delilah, she was always prompt, had great communication, and put my mind at ease.”
About: Hi! While celebrating the milestone of earning my Master’s degree, I traveled to the East Coast this summer and during my trip I pet sat for a friend in NYC while she was traveling in Europe, and I loved it! I miss those fur babies so much that I signed up on Rover as soon as I got home. I’m looking forward to providing check-ins, socializing, and caring for furry friends while I enjoy my newfound freedom! 🙂 I currently have a flexible and open schedule! Please let me know what works best for you to accommodate you and your pet’s needs I welcome specific instructions, am not afraid to ask questions, and will happily provide picture updates so you can have peace of mind. I will always treat your home and space with respect.
About: I’ve had pets all of my life! I will treat your pet as my own. Love and respect go a long way in gaining a friendship with all pets. I work full time at a 9-5 type job. When I’ve stayed with pets, they get a walk before I leave for work and after I get home. I don’t take jobs too far away from my area during the week. I wouldn’t want to leave my own pet alone for more than I needed to, let alone someone else’s pet. My preference is to work with dachshunds, American bull terriers and cat. If I’m available, I’d love to sit for you! My small dachshund has a crate he sleeps in and a decent back yard. I will adhere to all instructions from the owners for their pets. Even if your pet is comfortable around other pets and kids, I tend to steer clear of distractions on walks. Just for safety ☺️
“Heather is wonderful! She was so loving and sweet with our old guy, Otis. She came by every day to walk him and give him scratches and belly rubs - he loved her and so did we!”

About: I have experience owning and training dogs, as well as walking and dog sitting for family and friends. The feedback I have received is that I am caring, respectful, and consistent. I am reliable and flexible due to being retired. I love dogs and love daily walks around beautiful Alameda. Seems like a brilliant combination to put the two together. I start wherever the dog is regarding their comfort level and ability. I recognize the trust the owner places in me with both their dog and with their home.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dog breeds since I was 14. Neighbors and friends have had me dog walk and sit for anywhere from a few hours to a couple months. I also have a love and passion for animals and also work with horses / train horses so understand how to ensure consistency when it comes to training and providing care, regardless of the animals size and temperament. I’m currently working on call or freelance so can accommodate to various schedules. Will need a 2-3 day notice so I can plan ahead of time. I’m strictly just providing dog walking as a service since I am working part time or on call. I’m very caring and attentive to any animal in my care.
About: I’m a huge animal lover and used to run a grooming salon/daycare and hotel. As a former cat mom, I know how important a good sitter is! If my calendar doesn’t show the day you need, please reach out because it could be a booking error. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently working on Rover only so I will coordinate my routine around your pet’s care. I’m available every day, any times you need! I have a spacious home in a safe neighborhood. We have two beautiful gardens for quick breaks and are nearby parks for more space if needed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’m strong, responsible, and love walking dogs of all sizes, keeping them safe, happy, and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and like to plan ahead. I can adjust my time to care for pets and make sure they are happy I always focus on safety and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine, respect the home, and give pets the care, love, and attention they need.
“Nhu is super friendly, responsive, respectful and reliable. Our dog Chloe loves seeing Nhu, and we can always rest easy when we’re away, knowing that Nhu is taking great care of her. Nhu follows instructions carefully and even goes above and beyond in ensuring she’s providing the best care. It’s no wonder she has so many 5 star reviews and repeat clients!”
“Sylvie has been great with our dog Ria! She keeps us well informed with pictures and Ria's activities. Sylvie is very consistent with her walk schedule. She will let us know when she is going to be off a bit on her schedule. You can tell she is a knowledgeable and intuitive dog lover by the way she interacts with your dog. Your dog will be in good hands with Sylvie!”
“Alice does a great job of keeping us posted on how the animals are doing and seems to really love spending time with them. Having Alice taking care of our babies really makes me feel a lot more at ease when we travel.”

Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”

She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Chad was an amazing dog sitter. He was very attentive, responded quickly to my questions and had the perfect amount of space for a playful dog. I would recommend anyone leave their dog with him!”
“Kennia was great with our Yogi! We recently moved to the city and this was our first time boarding Yogi with Kennia and she made sure Yogi felt like home! She was super communicative and shared daily updates on Yogi with photos and videos and you could tell he was having a great time. One special thing to note that our Yogi had specific needs due to him being on anti seizure medication and Kennia was extremely diligent with administering the needed medication to him and made sure he was looked after really well!! You can tell she’s a true animal lover and trust that Kennia will treat your fur babies as one of of her own! Kennia also gave our Yogi a goodbye gift which was a first for us! All in all, she’s generous and awesome and we definitely recommend Kennia with 5 stars!!!”

“Angel is very responsive and shows great responsibility. She takes really good care of my cat. She likes Benjamin and Benjamin likes her. Thank you for accepting the book last minute!”

“Lynn was so communicative, supporting and accommodating with Rosco. She met for a meet and greet and asked plenty of questions to help her understand Rosco’s routines and behaviors, as well as ensure he got along with her pup Mindy. Lynn kept me updated with timelines and photos and was able to quickly redirect Rosco’s accident during his first night. He was well taken care of, got plenty of walks and clear guidance. I would highly recommend Lynn for your pup and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
