“Great experience. She took great care of my dog. Walked him twice a day. So much better than a kennel. Easy hand off and pick up in Fairfax and she sends daily pictures of your dog . Will definitely use her again.”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“Mandu had a great vacation with Taylor while we were on our vacation. Taylor sent photos of Mandu frolicking in a variety of parks, and when we went back to pick up the bowl we forgot Mandu was ready to head back in for another stay! Highly recommended.”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
“We trust Sam SO much with Bisco. She is attentive to his needs and communicative- despite the fact that when we first started working with Sam, Bisco was basically just a new puppy and pretty high needs. We would recommend Sam to anyone and are so grateful for her!!”
“This is the second time we have had Jesse watch our sweet Swish. He’s so good with him and keeps us constantly updated. When we arrived to drop Swish off, he hopped right out of the car and was excited to see him!”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“I've left Mocha with Ivy a few times and she always takes great care of him. Mocha really likes seeing her and her family. She also sends me multiple pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Ivy.”
“Anne is a very good dog sitter for our dog Harry. She is very communicative with us on his daily fun with her. She’s a very nice and considerate person. We are so happy to have found her as a dog sitter for Harry”
“Yang is fantastic, highly recommend! We have two rescue pups who can be a little fussy about who they bond with but she asked all the right questions and made sure she understood their minor quirks well before we dropped them with her for the first time. She provided lots of pics and updates and they came home happy and relaxed after our weekend away. Thanks again Yang!”
“Can never say enough great things about Sofia! Left my dog with her for almost 3 weeks for my wedding and honeymoon, and he was such a happy boy. She sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he was sad to be leaving her when I picked him up 💗”
“Mary was so warm and welcoming to our lil pup while we were away. She sent lots of cute pictures and updates so we knew he was having fun and receiving tons of love. We will definitely be having her watch our pup during our next trip. ?”
“Tatiana was awesome, kind and exactly what we were looking for on our last minute trip. We are so grateful for the care she provided for our girl and the updates that were given. Thank you 😊 🖤”
“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Daniele took great care of Oakley while we were away! She sent pictures every morning and kept us up to date with how Oakley was settling in. My mind was completely at ease the whole time”
“As always, Sara is awesome and extremely accomodating. I definitely recommend Sara, who I trust with my dog, Chloe. It was great receiving multiple videos and photos of Chloe and Bubba while I was out of town. Thanks Sara!”
“Corey is absolutely wonderful. Zephyr loves him so much it's like the vacation of a lifetime every time he goes to his house. We trust Corey absolutely and so appreciate him. If you're looking for someone take loving care your pet and treat them like his own, Corey is your guy.”

“Michael was great from the time I dropped off my cat, until I came back to pick him up. I got daily texts and photos that confirmed my immediate confidence in him. I hope he’s available for my next trip. Jack- Richmond CA”
“Paula did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were away. She sent timely messages and pictures, played with our normally shy cat, and even made sure all was well in our home while we were away. We will certainly contact her again for our next trip.”
“My crew absolutely loved Sharon and her positive energy. The photos she sent were pronominal, the communication was great. We will be hiring her again. Alsó appreciated her attention to detail when learning all the different routines and behavior patterns with my little ones. Thank you.”
“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”
“Amber is an excellent cat sitter. She is responsible, on time, and got along great with my cat Jimi. I was very careful in selecting someone to take care of my cat and am happy to have chosen Amber. I'm planning to hire her again the next time I go out of town.”
“Sarah is amazing! We needed a sitter for our 5 month old kitten and we were very nervous about using a sitter we didn’t know. Once we met Sarah we knew she’d be perfect. She is incredibly nice and an obvious animal lover. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Sarah! We couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without your help with Gabby!”
“Denisse was very conscientious! She took the time to get photos of the cats and to give us a detailed description of what she had accomplished during her visit. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when we returned home.”
“Wenjie did a great job taking care of Brody. Brody usually shies away from new people, but he became friends with Wenjie quickly! Wenjie treated both our dog & our home respectfully and I will definitely seek him out again when the need arises. We were kept fully informed after every visit. It made us feel like Brody was in very capable care, leaving us able to relax and not worry at all while we were away. Definitely a 5 star experience! Thanks again, Wenjie!”
“Our first time with Rover and Cora had been a resounding success! Cora gave Agatha and James so much love and attention and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands! We have a wonderful future together! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Mariah was excellent. We could not have asked for a better person to care for our furry friend Antonio the cat. He's highly skittish to just about everyone, but he warmed up to Mariah incredibly fast. She texted us in detail, sent photos showing how comfortable Antonio was with her, and made our visit away stress-free. We simply feel lucky to have found such a great person (and her son and husband) to care for our cat. We will call her again every time we need someone to keep Antonio safe and sound.”
About: I have worked as a dog walker and pet sitter professionally and I’m certified in pet CPR and care. I have walked groups of 6 dogs for clients in San Francisco and I’m patient with different breeds and dog sizes. I enjoy hiking with pups, beach adventures and long walks through San Francisco. I have experience with cats as well. I’m happy to take the time to know each dog individually and build up trust. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs dogs. Favorite locations include Crissy Field, Fort Funston, Presidio, Golden Gate Park, Mountain Lake Park. High energy and calm dogs, big and small. I have extensive training for professional dog walkers in government parks. I have experience with dogs for over 20 years.

I have two gentle small dogs who are friendly and welcoming. I have crates, beds, toys, blankets. The apartment has walking space and a yard and is near parks.
“I was so happy to see how well my cat responded to Salina and vice-versa. She is kind, courteous, professional, and attentive. Thanks Rover for screening caretakers very welll. Salina followed instructions to the letter and even went above and beyond with extra cat cuddles and lots of pictures. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with two tabby cats: Gibby, a gray tabby, and Hobbes, an orange tabby. I’ve cared for both affectionate and more reserved cats, and I’ve gained valuable experience managing Hobbes’s weight and dietary needs.
About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I am a big animal lover. I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and have always enjoyed spending time with and caring for them. I have trained and competed in agility with my Australian shepherds, and I have worked with and trained dogs of all ages. I have also cared for and loved many cats (both my own and for clients and friends). When I played varsity polo for Virginia Tech, my team was charge of all aspects of care for our 16 horses during the school year. I have ridden and cared for over 100 horses since I was young. Through these experiences, I have administered medications, handled behavioral issues, fed a variety of foods, and cared for and diagnosed illnesses and injuries. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their favorite people are away. Your pet should feel like they are on vacation too! I am available and excited to care for your pets on any schedule that works best for them! My schedule is quite flexible right now. Because I offer care in your home, I strive to ensure that you and your pets feel safe, respected, and cared for. I emphasize safety, privacy, cleanliness, and happy animals. Especially with the temporary change in caregiver, I believe it is extremely important to maintain the routine your pets are used to while you are away, with maybe a couple extra treats (with permission, of course) :) Above all, I adhere to the care rules and instructions given to me, because you know your pets better than anyone.
“Alejandrina took great care of my car. I appreciated the detailed pictures in her reports and how she was able to handle unforeseen situations without need for much input while I was away. She responds promptly to messages and communicated in a straightforward way. I highly recommend Nina as a pet sitter.”
“Josephine takes excellent care of our kitty, leaves everything as clean or cleaner than before, is extremely responsive and flexible. And she sends great pictures of the cat playing and having a good time!”

Would 100% book with her again if we come back to SF.”

About: I grew up with dogs and I’ve been a dog owner most of my adult life. I’ve also been a dog owner from the puppy age of eight weeks all the way through mature life. I can take care of other pets as well, and I can be available for dog boarding, dog sitting, dog walks, and other pet care during your weekends and travels. I am a part-time parent and establishing this as additional income since I am a single income household in Marin county. I am available for dog walking and boarding on alternating weekends, and during periods of your travels when I am in town. I am an outdoors woman, and will get pets outside and active regularly.

I can house a pet with all of your personal items for the pet anywhere in my home, and I can provide highly personalized care since I live alone (part time parent with alternating weekends on my own).
“I was looking for a safe place to leave my dog for the day while on a roadtrip that went through New York. Daniele was very accommodating last minute, gave my dog a fun day with the other pups, and sent me updates on how he was doing. It was very convenient how close she was to Manhattan. I would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Love Jei! This was my first time leaving Komi in someone elses’ care so I was really worried. She was very thorough writing his report card and took a bunch of photos. She even took Komi to the Golden Gate park which was such a treat. Komi is a happy and tired puppy hehe. I will be sleeping good tonight.”

“Johnny was fantastic with our Benny. Being the first time for us to use a dogwalker, Johnny’s “one dog at a time” philosophy gave us great comfort. He took wonderful care of Benny, and in a short time, Benny grew to eagerly look forward to Johnny’s arrival. After the first walk, when we mentioned “Johnny” in the house, we got lots of tail wags, so we knew the two hit it off. Thanks Johnny!!”
“Michael did such an amazing job caring for our dog while he was out of town! He took him for walks and also spent time playing with him in our yard so that he wouldn’t be lonely while we were away and sent us the cutest pictures so we knew that our little fluffball was doing ok! He also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages and taking out our trash cans on collection day. Highly recommend Michael - he’s responsible, kind, and very easy to work with!”
“Page was awesome and we would rebook her again! She was timely and communicative throughout our booking! As first time users of Rover, and Alfie's first time having a dog walker drop-in, she made it very easy for us to trust her and her experience walking small dogs. She went above and beyond our requests and provided detailed updates of her visits. Thank you so much Page for being a responsible and loving dog walker!”
About: *great references available upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.* Hi there! I have been in the animal care business my whole life. Growing up on a ranch taught me a lot about horses, dogs, cats and the outdoors. I am very knowledgeable in terms of animal health and behavior. I have been entrusted with many great animals in my lifetime, and it's so rewarding to get to know each individual pet and their families. Having raised my own German Shepherds, I was able to apply and learn what I needed to create a good all around dog. My personal dogs have given me and edge in how I communicate with each dog that comes into my care. I understand all dogs are different and I like taking things slow, and building trust and confidence in the long run. I take pride in providing the greatest care to each individual pet. I have references for house/pet sitting, dog walks, basic dog grooming, Kennel Management, Dog Breeding, ranch caretaking, barn manager, foreman, assistant to horse trainer, from/horse care/feed/lay up. I also have background in House Cleaning, in home caregiving and Personal Assistant roles. I am accustomed to taking care of my own personal pets daily. I check their food/water in am and pm. and usually lunch time. I take them out for constant bathroom breaks, play time, exercise. Double checking doors, locks. Safety First. Ensuring all and any gear are working well, (collar, leash, harness etc) I reach out to you periodically during visits / walks/ boarding/ sitting. I am available for any questions, comments, and concerns.
“Janaki did a great job for us . She arrived on time and was able to make friends with our dog that has a bad tendency to over react when greeting newcomers, but Janaki was able to handle this well. We liked her photos on the walk especially charmed with phot of her holding two bags of poop.”
About: Hi! I’m Atusa — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had my share of cherished companions. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing gentle care and medication, I’ve seen and supported it all. I genuinely enjoy long walks with dogs, quiet lap time with cats, and creating a calm, loving space so your pet feels safe, seen, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with reactive dogs, special-needs pets, and animals who thrive with a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your pet is shy, spunky, anxious, or aging — I tune in and meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on me for clean, calm, and compassionate care every time. IPet care fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I work primarily online, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent presence throughout the day. Whether your animal needs structure, companionship, or just someone to hang out with, I’m available and present — not just dropping by between errands or rushing out the door. At this time, I only offer in-home visits and house sitting at my clients’ homes. I find that most pets feel happiest and most secure in their own familiar space, with their routines and surroundings intact. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. I aim to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe, calm, and well loved while you're away.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
About: I’ve cared for my family friends' dogs while they were away, which helped me understand the importance of building trust with both pets and owners. I am currently enrolled in school on weekends and trade school in evening. I and available during weekday mornings and afternoons to provide reliable dog sitting services. My cats are indoor-only, and my dog enjoys a large backyard for play. Due to my cats' territorial nature, it might be challenging to accommodate other animals in my home.
About: I have been taken care of pets more than 10 years since I was a kid. I took care of dogs, cats, parrots and rabbits. Available for boarding after 4 pm cause I have a part time job. But can sit all day and night on the weekends. In addition my mother can also help me to sit your pet any time when I am at work. Thank you I have high level of trust, so you don’t have to worry about your pet. I can keep your pet and house safe and clean
