“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Anusha is an amazing sitter for our dog. She has made our vacations so smooth knowing we have absolutely nothing to worry about when we’re gone. We receive plenty of happy photos and updates and know any animal in her care will be treated just like her own furry family. .”
“It was PK's first time with Juliana, so we weren't sure what to expect. PK came back happy and tired. Juliana shared pictures and walks of PK out at the park. She also let us know when PK needed a little extra attention, which we were grateful to receive.”
“Sophia is the best! Our high energy dog Mimi spent 6 nights with her family and the experience was incredible. Our dog is considered as challenging by many commercial boarding providers. We interviewed many rovers to find the best fit for us and decided on Sophia. She is a real dog lover and her family is also very active. Mimi had so many good time with her, having long walks, enjoying the park, and jogging. After the boarding, Mimi is more joyful than usual. Obviously Sophia had very good impact on his personality!”
“Milo had a great time with Megha and her family! Especially with their dog Barfi! They sent lots of updates and lots of photos of Milo, which helped me feel reassured that Milo was in good hands and that he was having a good time. Milo played so much with Barfi, and it really seems like he has gained a new best friend. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Michael and Karri (and Hank) are great. Fun updates throughout the stay and we came home to a dog that was clean and happy. They know the secret, a tired dog is a happy dog.”
“Laura is so thoughtful with updates during my dogs day at her place. She continually gave me reassurance and alerted me of any changes. Her sweet dog loves my baby, walks were given, and always communicated well. Thank god for sitters like her. This was my very first time using Rover, and I must say my experience has been so wonderful. It’s so nice that I can work at ease and know my baby is looked after.”
“Lucia took very good care of our dog while we were away, we got many updates and pictures. Our dog has a few on her own routines which are important when she is away from us so she has a sense of consistency, Lucia was super attentive to all of them and sent us report for each which was very sweet of her!”
“I’m so grateful and blessed because Farbod and his wife took my pup, and treated her as their own. They were very responsible, updating me here and there about Poochie, which I totally appreciate, and helps when you are away from your pup. They are very responsive also. For sure, without a doubt, I will be a repeat client. 💕 Thank you Farbod and wife, can’t thank you guys enough!!”
“This was our third time dropping off Ruby at Diana’s. Once we arrived she got so excited to be at Diana’s that she didn’t even care when we said goodbye. It broke my heart but she was happy!”
“Sofia was so welcoming to Luna and was very patient with her separation anxiety. She took such good care of Luna and sent a daily update with a picture. I felt very much at ease leaving Luna with Sofie knowing that she was being loved and cared for. I will book with Sofia for my next trip!”
“Lanie and Family were great with Hunter! With updates throughout the stay, and knowing that Hunter was well taken care of! Hunter definitely showed he enjoyed his stay, quite relaxed and happy!”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Joshua did a wonderful job taking care of my mini Goldendoodle for nearly 5 days! It was the first time I had left my puppy with someone, and Joshua was very patient and gave Raja such attentive care! We appreciated the regular updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend Joshua and look forward to booking future stays for Raja!”
“We loved working with Steve! It was our first time leaving our puppy so we were a little nervous, but Steve made Reese feel right at home and comfortable. He sent us multiple updates every day which I was so grateful for. Not to mention he took us in VERY last minute in a holiday weekend. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Venkat was amazing with Toby. He made Toby welcome in his home and took care of him as if he was part of his own. I could feel his affection and love for dogs. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks Venkat !!”
“Jacqueline and her partner took such great care of Shadow. She sent me multiple photo and video updates during Shadow’s 5 day stay. She was very responsive and easy going which made me that much more comfortable leaving Shadow in her care. She really took care of Shadow as if he was her own dog and gave him lots of love. He was ready to stay longer with her! I would highly recommend her and will be returning to use her services again.”
“Our fur child Harley was well taken care of by Nikhila. During our time apart, we received updates and pictures as well as a video. Receiving this made us feel good about the care she was receiving. When we picked her up, Harley even had a new handkerchief on given by Nikhila. What a nice gesture!”
“Becky is the absolute best dog sitter I have worked with! Becky took care of my large great pyr mix who gets nervous and reactive towards other dogs. She did a fantastic job with communication and pictures everyday. I had a peaceful vacation knowing my pup was in safe hands. She just speaks dog and understands their needs. If are looking to board you dog, look no further 🙌🏼”

“Corina took a good care of my cats and hen while I was visiting my family for urgent family matters. She was nice and kind and it is a great comfort for me to see photos she sent every day. She also took care of my mails and kept clean the food containers. I really appreciate her reliable service while I was out of country.”
“Valentina took great care of my two senior cats while I was out of town. They were happy and well fed and cared for when I returned. She sent great updates with lots of pictures and I really appreciated that.”
“Rachel was a huge help when we needed to go on a trip and leave our cat at home. Our little geriatric furball is 18 years old and needs special treatment and medication. Rachel was already experienced in piling cats and handled it perfectly. She was reliable, communicative, and very caring. We hope not to need to leave her home again but would definitely book Rachel again if we ever need to.”
“Ariana is professional, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond. Her Rover cards were super thorough and transparent. She took such care of my baby - you can tell she is a true cat whisperer by how quickly my baby began to trust her. I will definitely be requesting her top notch services again in the future.”
“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tingting and Willow! Leaving my Ollie for two+ weeks was hard but knowing she was in good hands gave me such peace of mind. They went above and beyond for my Ollie and I’m so thankful for them! I HIGHLY recommend Tingting and Willow!”
About: Cats have been a constant presence in my life. I have always felt deeply connected to understanding their behavior, communication, and needs. In addition to lifelong personal experience, I’ve volunteered at Town Cats of Morgan Hill and the San Jose Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats of all ages—from bottle-feeding and expressing newborn kittens to supporting senior cats—while helping socialize them with patience and gentleness. I’m especially attentive to a cat’s comfort level, routines, and preferences. I take a calm, respectful approach, allowing cats to warm up at their own pace while providing consistent care, affection, and enrichment when welcomed. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or sensitive, I focus on creating a peaceful, low-stress environment where they feel safe, seen, and cared for. Your cat’s well-being—both physical and emotional—is always my top priority.
About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!
“Yu-Wen did a great job caring for our cats. Typically Yuki and Akira are shy and run from new people. My husband and I could tell from the first pictures Yu-Wen sent us, our girls were very comfortable and happy. You-Wen kept us well informed on how are girls were doing. We highly recommend him and we do plan to book him in the future.”
“Naks once again took great care of our cats! They are always excited to see her and enjoy her pets and attention. Naks is definitely our “go-to” sitter; she makes it so much easier for us when we need to leave our boys!”
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
“Courtney did an amazing job looking after our cat during the holidays. Felipe can be skittish with strangers, but Courtney took the time to meet him beforehand, and made sure he got plenty of interaction time each day. Usually it takes Felipe a few days to readjust after we go out of town. This time it was like we never left at all!”
About: I have lived with a cat for the past 9 years and help with care ranging from cleaning the litter box to specific dietary regiments that included medications to following her around to brush her. While a loving cat, my orange tabby is incredibly anxious so I am quiet observant as to her body language, as well as that of other cats. I have helped care for four weaned kittens who were on wet food and yet to be fully litter box trained so I am also comfortable with young cats.
About: I’ve been cat sitting for friends and family for 10+ years and truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I’m very gentle, patient, and attentive. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, or prefers their space. I pay close attention to their needs, from fresh food and water to a clean litter box, and I’m comfortable giving medications if needed. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away 🤍
About: I have cared for many dogs from puppyhood through their senior years. I understand medication schedules and the special care older dogs may need, including help with walking and specific dietary requirements. I also use training exercises to channel a puppy’s energy into positive behavior. I am currently a stay-at-home dad seeking work during and after my son’s school hours. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of needs. My home is pet-friendly and well suited for senior dogs. I have a 12-year-old husky who is friendly and welcoming. The property is fully fenced and secure.
“Faye took care of my cat for 9 days as if she used to be a friend/mother of my cat before. Feedback of caring is real-time and she is very responsive through the app. I can also see that my cat has been doing well from many pictures, and videos. She also check his wellbeing, and does all the maintenance for my cat every day. We had a pre-meeting that we had taken two weeks before the service. I could see that she really loves animals and knows how to take care of them as well. I would strongly recommend her to my friends, and I also would like to ask her taking care of again.”
“Kristen was amazing with our kitties! She is very thorough, makes sure they’re comfortable and getting the best treatment just like they would if we were home. We enjoyed hearing about each visit and getting the pictures she sent. My mind was at ease to travel knowing she was taking good care of them!”

“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request too.”
“What a day! Ollie had so much fun with Christopher! He was super easy to communicate with and I am anyone grateful for his last minute availability. I loved receiving photos and videos all day with Ollie in all types of fun filters and even a new hairdo! Christopher genuinely seems to care about the dogs he watches and has fun doing it. I would recommend him to anyone!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.
About: I used to have many dogs and experience with dogs of all sizes. All of my family members have dogs of all different breeds so I am familiar with different personalities and temperments. Dogs get a lot of attention and frequent walks. I would take them for leashed walks around the neighborhood and they can roam around indoors and outside in the fenced patio area. I am familiar with administering oral medications and applying ointments. I have a furminator and can offer bathing. I am available every day of the week including weekends. Dropoff and pickup times are flexible. I have different toys that the dogs can play with. I can follow specific care instructions for your dog. Your dog will be treated like family. I am home with my kids full time so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Pets should be good around children. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old and I do not want them to get hurt and I do not want the pets to get stressed out by the children. I have a fenced patio/yard. Lots of grassy areas outside for leashed walks. Pets are allowed on couch and in bed. Area in home for puppy pads if they are used to using those. Pets would be treated with lots of love and care as if they were our own.
About: Hi! We’ve had plenty of experience caring for friends’ dogs, and we also have a high energy Samoyed of our own, so we’re very familiar with different personalities and energy levels. We truly believe that healthy socialization is important for a dog’s emotional well being. Our goal is to provide a safe, warm, and relaxed environment where every dog can feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Since we have our own dog, your dog will naturally follow a consistent daily routine with us. We take dogs out for walks together with our dog every day, usually around 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon. We adjust based on the weather and daily conditions, so they can enjoy a steady routine, companionship, and time to explore and relax. Potty breaks happen naturally during walks, and we keep a consistent routine without extending the time or forcing them. In addition, we have a cozy grassy backyard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. It’s a safe and comfortable space where they can explore, relax, and feel right at home. To ensure the best quality of care, we only take one dog at a time. This allows us to give our full attention and create a more personalized and stress free experience. We treat every dog like our own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. We’re also happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away 😊 We take dogs out for walks together with our dog every day, usually around 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon. We adjust based on the weather and daily conditions, so they can enjoy a steady routine, companionship, and time to explore and relax. Potty breaks happen naturally during walks, and we keep a consistent routine without extending the time or forcing them. We believe pet care is about more than just the basics; it’s about genuine engagement. We dedicate focused time to active play and mental stimulation, capturing those joyful moments through high-quality photos to give you peace of mind. Beyond enrichment, we prioritize physical health with a strict adherence to your preferred feeding schedules, constant access to fresh water, and the occasional well-earned treat.
“Pissamis did an amazing job with my puppy! My pup knocked out when she got home from all the fun she had during her stay. Pissamis also did a great job sending pictures and videos all day of my pup. She can’t wait to come back :)”
About: “Clear communication, photos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing ~you will feel connected every step of the way. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to walk & play with your Best Friend. I am available for boarding 7 days a week. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I provide a safe secure environment where you can relax knowing your dog is being well cared for.
“I want to give a huge thank you to Bruno and his fiancée for taking such amazing care of my husky, Nova, especially on such short notice! From the moment I reached out, Bruno’s communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. He asked about Nova’s allergies, schedule, and any personal preferences to make sure she’d feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Within the first hour, I received pictures and a video of Nova walking and playing happily with their sweet pup, Jojo. Throughout the day, Bruno continued to send updates, pictures, and videos, in total, I received 15 photos and 4 videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Nova was not only being watched, but truly cared for. They even gave her snacks and a fun new topping on her food to make her feel extra special. On top of that, Bruno made sure to update Nova’s Rover report with a detailed summary: two long walks, potty breaks, food and water intake, every detail was covered. To top it all off, at the end of the visit, Nova went home with a goody bag and so much love. It genuinely felt like she had a mini vacation of her own. 💛 If you’re looking for responsible, loving, and attentive care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Bruno and his fiancé enough. They treat your pup like family and make the whole experience stress-free and joyful. I will absolutely bring Nova back again, this is the kind of care every fur friend deserves!”
“Thao took such good care of Cacau. She was very sweet and kept sending pictures and videos. Cacau had a lot of fun and was super tiered from all the play time with Thao’s dogs. I really recommend Thao’s services 😊”
“I was so happy to leave Jax with Diana. Jax came home from daycare happy and tired! Her home is very pet friendly, with lots of room to roam in the backyard as well as cozy space indoors. And her dog Bailey is very friendly. Jax already has more stays booked at Diana's house.”
“Diem took great care of my dog—very kind, genuine, and clearly someone who really loves dogs. She has a secure fenced setup (including the front/driveway area), which made me feel comfortable right away. She showed my dog a lot of love and even took the time to ask about what she could eat because she wanted to give her something extra, which I really appreciated. By the end, my dog felt completely at home. Honestly, I think my dog was a little sad to leave… and I can’t say I blame her. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and can help with basic training like sit, paw, or stay. I’m patient, friendly, and love making every pup feel happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with dogs. I can fit walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting to your dog’s energy and needs so they always feel cared for. I make sure dogs are always safe and comfortable. In my home, they can access almost every space, so they feel free and relaxed. I also have a small balcony on the first floor where they can get some fresh air safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep a close eye on them to make sure they feel secure and cared for.
About: I’ve always had dogs around, and we adopted Annie, our latest furry friend, four years ago. I treat my dogs like my babies, and spend a lot of time playing with them and making sure they are looking pretty at all times! I work from home, so I’m free to care for your dogs during the week. Weekend availability might be a bit spotty. I only leave the dogs alone when I’m heading to the gym (about an hour), but otherwise I always bring them along, even to restaurants! Please provide food, treats, a food bowl, and a dog carrier (it’s super important!). I have plenty of toys :) I live in a townhouse, I don’t have a yard but I take the dogs out for pee breaks every 3-4 hours and 2 20min walks (morning and evening). I have puppy gates in the house to confine them to the 1st floor if we step out, and a crate (if needed). I also have a camera on that floor to monitor the dogs!
“Becky took excellent care of my boy! He stayed with her for the day while I was at work and she kept me up to date on how he was doing and made she he got plenty of exercise. He’s home and snoozing happy as can be. Will definitely use her again:).”
“Megha and Avi are the absolute best! Barfi is icing on the cake 🙂 This was Luna’s first day care visit ever. I was anxious about how she would do without me, but Megha and Avi made her feel right at home. They kept me updated about her with pics and videos. Gave me a report when I went to pick her up which was insightful. She had such a great time, and even came home with a bandanna! I would definitely go back with them and recommend them to other pet parents”
“The best family to watch my puppy! They send updates and take such good care of her. And she’s always so happy to get dropped off here so I know she loves her time with them”

“Charlie is the absolute best! She has been doing daily walks for my dog and it is the highlight of his day. His sits by the door waiting for her to arrive, gets so stinking excited when she shows up and toodles off with her in heaven. Charlie provides detailed updates on the walk and is highly communicative with us. In short, I could not recommend Charlie more!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Willow and Tina as our dog walkers. They are attentive, friendly, and truly understanding of what both we and our dog need. From the very beginning, they communicated with us so clearly and consistently, taking the time to really understand our instructions and preferences. It’s clear they genuinely care, and that level of attention gave us confidence right away. Since we live in an apartment, there are a few extra steps and details involved for walks, but they were more than happy to go through everything with us and make sure it all worked smoothly. They were patient, flexible, and always willing to do what it takes to make things easier for everyone. When they first met our dog, he loved them instantly, which meant so much to us. It’s not always easy to trust new people with your pet, but they made that transition feel effortless. From day one, they made our dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. When we both started jobs that required us to be back in the office, we were really worried about leaving our dog home alone for long periods of time. Willow and Tina completely took that stress away. They stepped in with so much care and professionalism, and now we don’t worry at all knowing our dog is in such good hands. They’ve also gone above and beyond in moments that really mattered. When our dog was sick, they took such thoughtful care of him and kept me updated throughout the day. Getting those updates while I was at work was incredibly comforting and reassuring. Our trust in them has grown so much over time, and we feel genuinely relieved and grateful every single day. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dog is not only being looked after, but truly cared for. Our family is so lucky to have found Willow and Tina, and we couldn’t recommend them more.”
“So glad we found Courtney! My dog, Ivy, and I did a Meet & Greet and walked around the block. Ivy can be a handful on the leash, but Courtney did a great job managing her energy and pulling. We had a nice chat while walking together, and it’s clear Courtney has a natural way with dogs. Ivy liked her so much she was ready to head off on a longer walk without me! She's responsive, easy to talk to, and definitely someone I trust. I felt completely comfortable leaving Ivy in her care and have added her to my 'favorites' list for future walks.”

“Riley watched our 3 year old golden retriever in our home while we were out of town on vacation. Riley's initial visit to meet our pup was wonderful, they asked lots of great questions, were organized and very professional. Riley always showed up on time and sent helpful information after each visit. We had a couple health issues come up while we were away and Riley did an excellent job communicating and sending pictures. I would highly recommend Riley.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all energy levels! I grew up with a hyper poodle-terrier mix, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and active playtime. I also currently have a mellow, cuddly polydactyl Russian Blue cat, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and calmer ones. As a law student, I take responsibility seriously and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and giving pets extra patience and attention when needed. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout the stay. I’m currently waiting to start my summer job in June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks and always respectful of my client’s homes and instructions.
“If you are looking for a seasoned friendly dog walker/sitter look no further! Again our little Maggie's favorite walker! Thank you again for your top notch service & communication!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and having owned two mastiffs, I’m very comfortable caring for and handling large breeds. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve fostered dogs through the Humane Society including several puppies from the same litters, and currently pet sit for one of my former foster dogs after helping them find a forever home. I’ve also worked closely with my neighbor raising service dogs for Canine Companions, assisting with training, socialization and everyday care. These experiences have given me confidence working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both pets and owners. As a college student on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends, and I can accommodate to last-minute requests. I look forward to getting to know your pets! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care as instructed. My goal is to make sure that every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and enjoy building a bond with them during my visits.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love them a lot. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as helping take care of others’ pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I am currently in California for the summer while my Fiance works full time. There is nothing I would love more than to take care of your lovely pets during the week! Since I’ll mainly be providing walks and drop-in care, my focus is on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I always pay close attention during walks, make sure dogs are secure on leashes and harnesses, and follow any instructions owners provide regarding routines, safety, or special needs. I treat every pet with patience, love, and care, and I want owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands with me.
About: Hi! I'm new to Rover, however, I've loved animals all my life. And I understand how important it is to ensure your fur baby is cared for ❤️ I have my own pup, Cloud (my goober bear) and fish at home. My family also has cats, so I’m very familiar with all kinds of personalities. I’ve also volunteered at a horse ranch and helped care for chickens, and one day I’d love to have my own little farm + animal sanctuary 🐾 My biggest priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible like you never left. I really take the time to understand what matters most to you and your pet, so I can mirror that same love, energy, and care while you’re away. I’m very active, mindful, and intuitive (I’m also a yoga teacher), which helps me tune into animals and their nonverbal cues. Whether your pet wants playtime and adventures, or calm energy and space, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’ll treat your pet like my own with so much love, presence, and care 🐾❤️ With a flexible, part-time schedule as a yoga instructor, I’m able to offer consistent, attentive care and be fully present with your pet. I prioritize quality time, routine, and making sure they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment, follow routines closely, and ensure fresh food, water, and care at all times. I’m mindful, reliable, and treat your pet (and home) like my own

I am a university student on break so I have no other obligations. I can stay overnight as well to keep your pet company. I'm used to cleaning up messes if your pet gets sick, and am able to let your pet out to pee/clean their litter box at any time! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs.

Her sweet dog loves my baby, walks were given, and always communicated well. Thank god for sitters like her.

He was ready to stay longer with her! I would highly recommend her and will be returning to use her services again.”
“Becky is the absolute best dog sitter I have worked with! Becky took care of my large great pyr mix who gets nervous and reactive towards other dogs.

If are looking to board you dog, look no further 🙌🏼”
“Son, her husband and children did a wonderful job looking after PENNY. As soon as I met the family, I knew she was in good hands. They gave her an immense amount of love and attention. She went on adventures with them throughout the Bay Area and coastal regions. She had so much fun that it was like sending a 12 year old to summer camp! I would highly recommend Son and her family to take care of your little dog or a big dog when the time comes. They are also my friends now.”

We would definitely leave Eli with them again.”
