“Amber did an amazing job caring for my cat Moo. Although he’s very easy he requires medical food and diabetic injections, not easy! But Amber did a great job and Moo was totally relaxed when I returned home. Will definitely be contracting her for future visits.”
“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.”
“Denisse was wonderful to our cats! She gave us awesome updates and pictures while we were away, and even came before we were gone to come and meet the kitties. Thanks so much Denisse, couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Salina is fantastic. We really enjoyed having her check in on our cat while our family was out of town. As soon as we met her, we could immediately tell she truly loves cats, and our cat loved her. She was very communicative and responsive throughout everything, and she has great attention to detail. We look forward to having her back when we take our next trip!”
“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!”

“Excellent! Michael is very thoughtful and does a great job. He is very reliable and we feel very fortunate to have such a capable and kind cat sitter. I love that he gives us updates and sends photos. Thanks Michael!”
“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.”
“Renée is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our cat Enzo multiple times. Renée is very dependable and posts the best photos :) We know Enzo is in good hands with her and would highly recommend her!”

One of our girl cats is experiencing health issues but Cora Leigh was very accommodating. We are so happy and thankful for everything she has done. She’s the best pet sitter, we & our community as a whole, are fortunate to have her services available. Thank you so much Cora!✨?✨”
“Shannon was wonderful. The boys loved her. I was worried about leaving them for days, as I never had, but once we met Shannon, those fears evaporated. She came for a couple short visits prior to my trip. They took to her immediately, and while I was away she sent videos and pics multiple times per day. Really couldn't be happier!”
“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!”
“Page did a fantastic job caring for my kitties while I was on vacation. She followed all my instructions and took extra care to get to know my cats and help them come out of their shells. She was very prompt and communicative, and she left great notes for each of her visits, which gave me peace of mind that they were doing well while I was away. Thank you again!”

“I booked Shanice on very short notice so there was no chance for a meet and greet with my puppy Nico. I took a chance on her based her previous reviews. Nico was at her doggy daycare for 2 days. She is super sweet and friendly. Most of all she adored my puppy. He had a good time with her and her fur baby. She sent me updates on Nico with pictures of his day. Nico was happy when he was dropped off and happy when I picked him up. That is always a good sign. I will definitely book Shanice again!”
“He was so amazing and accommodating! Loved Anthony and Brody loved him too. Best part he made a joke that he tired our Brody from a full day of play and I loved that! Made our commute home easy. Highly recommend him!”
“My Golden, Ellie had the best day hanging with Shelby, Travis and Teddy! They were so sweet to give her so much love and attention! And I loved all the updates and pics. Can’t wait for Ellie to see them again soon!”
“Susannah and Richard were so kind and great to work with! They took excellent care of our nervous dog during a holiday, allowing us to spend valuable time with family, which we really appreciated. They asked helpful questions to make sure they could provide the best care for our dog, and they made sure to take him out for walks and give him lots of good attention. We are so glad we met them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“Saige has been amazing with Kuma both times that we booked with her! She is attentive and communicates well, and very flexible as well! We love booking with Saige and know that our dog is in good hands with her!”
“Kira was very communicative and I appreciated the photos while I was out and about. My dog quickly trusted being with her the moment I dropped him off. Highly recommend her”
About: I'm a communications professional for 30 years now, so it comes natural for me to share with pet owners every milestone of any day they're apart from their pets and trusting me with their care. For 20 years, I've cared for my friend's dogs, cats, and chickens in the Bay Area just for the fun of it. Now I'd like to open my experience and hope it will lead to more travel when I retire in a few year. Also, I have a veterinarian friend on speed dial. I've never had to call in an emergency. But I could! I work from home most days. I write, so I sit at my desk and I don't move much. I love having a cat on the desk or a well-exercised dog in their bed waiting for my next move. I go downtown twice a week, but I have a retired neighbor who volunteers at Animal Control and the SF Zoo who is nuts about dog-walking to fill-in for noontime walks. I like to treat all pets like they're my own, with a little extra in an auntie kind of way. I am an expert Kong-stuffer and a tug of war extremist, with a nice car that I don't mind getting hairy or muddy. Poo and litter are not things I shy away from. I love the smell of pet feet.
“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”
About: Your pup will be enjoying a spacious home with the accompaniment of a hot dog! We are able to sit for other animals as well: hamsters, rabbits, reptiles, even fish. We have a fenced yard in the back as well as comfortable carpeting for your pup to scratch its ears. We welcome pets on weekends or when you go on vacation! Rest assured that your pet is in good hands! I need 5 more words... About my yard Backyard is made of concrete, I've specially built a doggy potty area for pups to use.
“Cesar and his husband are a dream for owners looking for care! They are accommodating and so warm-hearted. It's like my puppy was just staying with family. They will be on my short list of preferred caregivers.”
“This was our first time using any kind of doggy daycare and Jay was amazing ! We booked her very last minute and she was super accommodating. I was nervous having someone else than family watching the dog and after having my husband seeing the place and meeting Jay we both felt confident she would be great at watching our furry child. She kept us updated with lots of pictures of our puppy having tons of fun playing with other dogs and was very responsive to let us know how she was doing too. She also has plenty of space for the dogs to play at her place with a large backyard and she also lets them in the house with her. We also really appreciated how she took the time to write a detailed Rover card on what our dog did through-out the day and how she behaved. Love to have Jay watch our doggie again!”
“Kellie & Nate were so great to work with! They welcomed our dog in right away like he was part of the family. He got along super well with their dogs and really enjoyed their fenced yard. We really appreciated their caring attention to detail -- our dog can get an upset stomach easily, so it meant a lot that they made sure he didn't get any outside food etc. When we picked him up he was a very happy dog, which was such a good sign since he can get very anxious at times. So glad we got to meet Kellie & Nate, and hope we get to book dog-sitting with them again!”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”
“We just moved to the area and are thrilled to meet Halee! We did a quick meet and greet and then sent our dog for the day. I was particularly appreciative that when our timing changed, Halee went above and beyond to be flexible with us. She took our dog on really long walks, and he came home so happy! She even gave me some helpful tips, when asked, of how to train and support our dog. We liked her so much. We are already doing an overnight with her later this week. She loves dogs and was willing to price her services competitively which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her!”
“My dog was well cared for my Ashley and I feel lucky to have found her on this app. Ashley was super easy to communicate with and flexible when it came to scheduling the meetup and drop off/pick up time. I could tell that my dog was immediately at ease and even excited when I dropped him off. Ashley provided updates and a cute photo of my dog. Thank you, Ashley!”
“My dog Jakki liked Jesse with the meet and greet. As she arrived to get babysit. She remembered him. Jakki had a good time with the pet sitter and his fur babies. He was nice, sincere and gave me updates how Jakki was and sent pictures of Jakki to make me feel good about Jakki. Thank you, Jesse so being so accommodating with watch in her.”

“Had Gage everyday this week, as our puppy was neutered and couldn't do his regular off-leash hikes. Gage was on time every day, and our puppy Murphy was very excited to see him each day! I wouldn't hesitate to book Gage again, and was grateful that he was able to accommodate a fairly last minute request for a week of 8am walks!”
“Michael was extremely responsive and accommodating of our very short-notice needs, and sensitive to the needs of our shy-of-strangers dog Latte. Would definitely call on him again!”
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.
“Page was so great with our dog Bagel - Bagel was super excited to meet her and tired after their walk. She was on time, and very communicative as well which I appreciated. Thanks Page!”
“Johnny is great with Ingrid! She loves seeing him and has no problem leaving us while we visit museums in SF. He takes her to the beach and fun hikes in The Presidio/Baker Beach area. We are grateful to know him and trust Ingrid is in good hands.”
“Christine is awesome! She swooped in last minute as my high-energy dog was needing additional enrichment and exercise when I was out of town. She asked all of the right questions and you can tell she’s very experienced! I feel so grateful to have found her & my pup had fantastic adventures with her! I highly recommend working with her!”

“Josephine (JoJo) was great! She is reliable, punctual, friendly, and very sweet. She jumped right in to feed him and get him ready for his walks... Our dog loved her instantly and trusted her to go on walks and leave "mommy" behind. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
About: Dogs are the light of my life! I've given forever homes to 7 German Shepherds, 2 Poodles and 4 Mixes. I've had extensive experience caring for them through various illnesses & am very knowledgeable about both their physical and emotional needs. I trained all of them myself with modernizing the methods as the practices changed over time. In High School I worked for a veterinary clinic washing dogs and administering vaccines as well as meds. I was a teacher for 20 years and am super resourceful. I've always had dogs. For me, life would be empty without them, and I'm one of these crazy people who would do absolutely anything to meet their needs!! You can definitely trust that I'll do everything to give your dog the best!! I LOVE DOGS & CATS!! Not to mention horses, ponies and rabbits! I love to house sit and spend my time with any wonderful canine or animal! They'll be given the absolute best of care and companionship when I'm there 24/7 the rest of the week! I'm a retired teacher of 20 years, in great physical condition, and want to do this full time. I LOVE DOGS AND CATS!! I've always worked in the helping professions as a teacher and behavioral case manager for the homeless. Now I want to do what means the most to me....spend my time with animals and give them the best experience possible!! Number 1, follow the directions of the client relative to their animals. Number 2, be respectful of their environment. Number 3, do all the extras possible for the animals including companionship. Number 4, leave the house as nice as it was on my arrival date.
“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”
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.
“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: I’ve owned dogs since I was 5 years old. I love pets and currently have two Guinea pigs! I’ve taken care of elder dogs, puppies, dogs with health problems, usually for friends and family. No pet is a bad fit for me :) As a PhD student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available when most aren’t. I can accommodate pet care into my schedule because I have the freedom to choose my hours. I always try my hardest to meet my clients expectations. I check-in with owners to make sure our needs and responsibilities are being met so you can have the peace of mind that your space and pet are well taken care of and respected.

““Brandon was great. He was willing and able to support our family with Maui, our sweet 3 year old American Bully who can look a bit scary and anxious in new environments. She responded so well to Brandon and he shared pictures and updates. I swear Maui had a smile on her face in one of the pictures! She eve. tried to stay when it was time for pick up! So thankful for Brandon!””

They asked a lot of good follow-up questions based on the care instructions I provided, which I appreciated because Georgia is a senior gal with a lot of quirks (like dog reactivity). This was my first vacation in about a decade and knowing Georgia was in such good hands was a relief. Highly recommend.”
“Jesse was incredible with my pup! He was so flexible to meet us at a nearby park where my dog was most comfortable. He was so patient to learn about her personality and needs. He kindly did not book other dogs while my dog was staying with him as I had requested. My dog has a decent amount of energy, and I was so happy that Jesse would take her running and hiking. She had the best time, I knew she was in good hands, and I would absolutely book Jesse again.”
