“Meghana was great! Shared updates with us everyday and sent pictures without us needing to ask. Our anxious/reactive dog seemed pretty comfortable with her. Very responsive. Would definitely have our dog stay with her again :)”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Absolute Best Care for Sesame! I cannot recommend Kristine highly enough! She watched our dog, Sesame, over the weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, it was clear just how kind, patient, and genuinely nice she is. She treated Sesame like one of her own, giving her the absolute best care, attention, and love. It brought us total peace of mind knowing Sesame was in such safe, affectionate hands while we were away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Sesame can’t wait to hang out with her again! Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of our pup!”
“Jennifer took such great care of Molly during her boarding stay. Molly has allergies that cause eye discharge, and Jennifer made sure to clean her eyes every day. A lot of boarders overlook that extra care, so I really appreciated it. Molly’s eyes looked so clean and well cared for when I picked her up. Jennifer also kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight was delayed as well. I would absolutely use Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their dog.”
“Winnie was amazing taking care of our mini Bernedoodle for about a week in her home. Our dog can be a picky eater, especially when away from home, but Winnie made sure she ate and was great at communicating with us. We've already booked future stays. Thanks, Winnie!”
About: I currently am a dog mom to a 12-year-old toy poodle, Pingu. He's very energetic and I would love to have him make more furry friends. Dogs must all be updated with their rabies and flea medications. I will not accept more than 3 dogs each time (with an exception for dogs from the same household) to make sure each dog will be getting the care and attention they deserve. I take the dogs out at least 3 times a day. Morning, Late Afternoon, Before bed. Feel free to ask me any questions. I am looking forward to meet your pups :) I work from home and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so I will have lots of time to spend with your fur baby. Your fur baby will be able to roam around and play as they please in the yard. I live in a single family house with a side yard where my dog often plays. My neighborhood is a dog loving community so your fur baby will have the opportunity to meet other dogs as well. I stay home most of the time and I make sure your dog will be on leash whenever we leave the house.
“The best service you could possibly ask for. My puppy had some of the most fun of his life staying with Ivan! He got playtime all day, Ivan was super patient with him during his training phase, and I had zero worries. I absolutely recommend Ivan for a high-quality experience and second home for your dog.”
“Shirley was great sending pictures from morning to the night. With pictures, she gave us detailed feedback of how our dog behaved in different situations which can be valuable for us. Also, she was understanding changing drop-off and pickup time during the day. What can you ask more than having your dog in a nature friendly environment with a personal care?”
“RoRo had a great time with Lauri! And I was able to enjoy my first night away from my puppy, worry-free. She was communicative and flexible. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! 👍😀”
“Leeun and her family were one of the best Rover experiences we have had. They are kind and very responsive, easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates on our dog. They were very attentive to his needs, probably giving him more attention and walks than we can at home . We would have them dog sit again in a heartbeat!”
“Kitty is such a great pet sitter. This is the first time using Rover and leaving my dog, Bruno, in the care of another person. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better experience! Upon meeting Kitty for the first time, I was impressed with how quickly she responded to my messages/questions and how flexible she was with scheduling a meet-and-greet. Bruno was instantly a fan of Kitty and her home that he didn't want to leave. She was very friendly to me, my family, and Bruno that we knew she was the right pet sitter for us instantly. While I was on my vacation, Kitty regularly sent me pictures and messages about how Bruno was doing. This put my mind at ease and really allowed me to enjoy my vacation as much as possible. She's very experienced and knows how to care for multiple dogs at once. Bruno hasn't had much experience to being with other dogs, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that he was making friends with other dogs at Kitty's home. Kitty is very patient and caring and does everything she can to adjust to your dog's usual routine at home. She walked Bruno 4 times a day and even let him sleep in her room! I am so satisfied with Kitty's services that I have already recommended her to several friends and will look no further if I ever need someone to look after Bruno. Thank you so much, Kitty! You have no idea how much I appreciate all of your work!”
“OMG- it’s hard to express how extremely happy and content my dog Ivy was in Kaitlyn‘s care. Upon returning home from my trip, Ivy was actually depressed not to be with Sammy and Kaitlyn! They showed her such a wonderful time with plenty of walks, play time and excursions. I received so many updates- photos and videos while away. It truly warmed my heart to know Ivy was under such good care. We’re already looking forward to booking again! ?”
“From the photos they sent me every day for 11 days, I could tell my 10 month old Boston Terrier, Charlie, had a blast. Part of this is due to Deepanwita and her husband and part of this is due to Einstein, their BT. Einstein deserves some extra treats for all play time he gave Charlie! Bottom line: I felt like I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation due to the care and cuddles they gave Charlie. This is so much better than some generic boarding place since he is kept active and provided individual attention throughout the day.”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”
“I’m soooo happy I found Kelly. We received daily updates and Kenzie loved all the friends she met. Our dog loves long walks and even though it rained the whole week, Kelly took every opportunity to walk her when it stopped raining. She also gave Kenzie a goodie bag and a Xmas present when we picked her up.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.

“Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!”
“Rebecca is always so good with our two cats and they’re so comfortable with her, even one of our cats who is more shy. It’s always great to have her watching our cats when we’re away it makes us feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands!”
“I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!”
“Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.”
“Hope was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She made the whole experience very easy, especially since it was my first booking, using the app. She sent me updates and pictures and communicated everything. Would definitely book again she was the best and just amazing overall!”
“Mashiat was extra caring and wonderful for Papash. They were super flexible around our pick up and drop off and went out of their way to also help us haul his stuff to our car. We also appreciated her communication and keeping us in the loop.”
“Blessy was great! Super communicative before, after and during the week she looked after my cat. She even did some light cleaning since the litter tends to track so I didn’t come home to cat litter everywhere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Stephanie was an excellent sitter! She was thorough with her communication and updates, as well as going above and beyond to help clean up some messes from our older cat. I appreciate her warm and friendly attitude and her love for animals. Will certainly book again.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was very young, including cats. Caring for cats has taught me to be patient, attentive, and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I am responsible, affectionate, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and caring presence, I will provide personalized care and attention to keep them happy and stress-free.
“Jessica sent photos of suki daily and seemed very well cared for. She had plenty of food and water and was in a good mood so I know she took good care of her”
About: I have years of experience taking care of cats for friends when they travel. I love to play and cuddle with cats. I am good at connecting with cats and making them feel comfortable and happy. I look forward to meeting with your cute and furry friends!
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
“Zahudy was great. She was very attentive our dog, Oliver, and communicated in detail with us every step of the way. Oliver behaved as if we never left home and I think Zahudy played a major role in him doing so well.”
About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.
“Vicki and her husband were great at communicating and sending updates on our cat. It was a smooth pick up and drop off for us. We will definitely be booking with Vicki in the future.”
“Denise is fantastic! We have relied on Denise many times now and she consistently does a great job. She’s smart, great with and knowledgeable about pets, thinks outside the box, and reliable because of those reasons and more. I recently took a trip where I had little to no phone coverage, and I knew I could count on her to take care of any issues that arose if she was not able to reach me. I look forward to relying on Denise again.”

“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with kindness, reliability, and plenty of love, so you can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently home full time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, companionship, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my single family house, which includes a fully fenced backyard for outdoor break and play time.

About: One dog at a time is my policy - because your dog deserves undivided attention, not a crowded house. I'm Fenna, a dog mom to Jazz, my 4-year-old corgi, and I've been caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for over 5 years. I work from home, which means your pup is never left alone - there's always a human around to give belly rubs, play, or just keep them company on the couch. I live in an apartment with a dedicated fenced dog park right in the building, so outdoor time is easy, safe, and on-demand. You can count on regular photo updates and open communication throughout. Your dog is family - I'll treat them like mine. I work from home, so your dog will always have company - no long stretches alone on the couch. I believe in following your dog's existing routine rather than imposing a new one, so I'll ask about their schedule upfront and stick to it as closely as possible. Whether that means a morning walk, midday playtime, or afternoon naps, I'll make it work. I'll send regular photo updates throughout the day so you always know how your pup is doing. Your dog's safety and comfort is my top priority. I live in an apartment with a dedicated enclosed dog park in the building, so outdoor time is safe, convenient, and available any time of day. At home, your dog will share the space with Jazz, my friendly and well-socialized 4-year-old Corgi, and since I only take one dog at a time, there's no competition or conflict to worry about. I'm happy to follow any specific care instructions, including crating if that's what your dog is used to. I am also open to a brief meet-and-greet with Jazz to make sure both dogs are comfortable and set up for a happy stay.
“Lisa was fabulous! My first time using her and she was great! Lisa took Dexter out for multiple walks and sent so many pictures to keep me informed. Most of all Dexter was so happy. I will be using Lisa in the future.”
“Thank you Shirley for a great first daycare experience for both us and our pup. From keeping us informed at all times (with pics) to giving our puppy a wonderful environment within which to play and rest, everything was top notch. Shirley even went a step beyond and gave us good advice about our pup’s ear care. Thank you!”
About: Welcome to Lauri and Friends Pet Care — where hospitality-inspired care meets canine adventure. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and communication style, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, confident, and balanced. My customer service management experience at an emergency veterinary hospital (formerly SF SPCA, now SF Animal Care & Control) gave me valuable experience supporting the wellbeing and safety of both feline and canine companions. My family and career have also been deeply rooted in the hospitality world, which I love incorporating into my pet care approach. From structured adventure walks and personalized updates to boutique-style boarding and in-home care, my goal is to create enriching experiences that bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. My lifelong pet care journey began with caring for a wide variety of personalities and breeds within my own family — from the spirited energy of German Shepherds like Rocky and Ozzy, to the playful antics of Doberman mixes like Josh, and the gentle (sometimes spirited!) companionship of Bernese Mountain Dogs like Oliver. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the unique emotional and physical needs every animal brings, as well as the powerful bonds they share with humans. One of my greatest strengths is helping dogs and humans feel more connected, understood, and at ease together. Compassion, communication, safety, and authenticity are at the heart of everything I do. Your pets and home will be treated with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and care that I would want for my own family. Our initial meeting will be more than just a checklist of routines and rules. Let's uncover your pet's unique language of preferred commands and desired tricks—because learning is an adventure, and fostering good behavior is an ongoing journey. While I strive to accommodate your scheduling needs to the best of my ability, please keep in mind that creating a seamless experience for your pet may require some adjustments. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure they receive the care they deserve. I appreciate your understanding that sometimes, good things take time. Communication is essential to our partnership. While I endeavor to respond as quickly as possible, please understand that there might be moments when my hands are full of paws, toys, and laughter. Thank you in advance for your patience—I assure you, your concerns and queries are valuable to me. My schedule revolves around your pet's needs, with regular walks and house-sitting routines thoughtfully planned. And for those rare moments, I'm here as your pet's emergency companion to the vet. This isn't just a side gig; it's my full-time calling—a career shaped by passion and expertise. Anticipate extraordinary experiences—playful moments during walks, explorations in local parks, and outdoor adventures (or a backpack outing for young puppies so no paws touch the ground). While I stay present with your pets, I also capture candid memories to share with you. Now, let's delve into the services I offer, designed to cater to your furry friends:
About: I am a physically active recent retiree and capable dog lover who recently lost my beloved Wheaten Terrier after 11 great years with him, so I'm well able to care for your very active or senior dog that might have special dietary or physical needs. I'm recently retired and home every day, so I have lots of time to care for your pet. Drop-off and pick-up very flexible every day and evening. Although we have a securely fenced and paved back yard, it contains a swimming pool, so we kept our own pet indoors or on our fenced in, covered deck/patio which is also secure. We have a large dog crate which our dog slept in every night, but this is flexible depending on your own dog's sleeping preferences. I do not let pets sleep on my bed. We live on a very quiet street with no 'through' traffic, so it's easy to walk your dog regularly without risking encounters with other pets. Our own dog was not comfortable around other dogs and this was easy for us to manage.
About: My family and I simply love dogs. We have a small 12lb dog for almost 10 years. Before that we had a 10lb chihuahua for about 10 years. Both are rescue dogs. I work from home most of the time, and routine is 2 walks per day, one in the morning before 9am and one in the evening before 9pm. We have a fenced yard, so the dogs can be in and out freely when we are home. I can also add additional walks if needed around noon. I also have 2 teenagers who also love dogs. Sometimes they help out taking care them and playing with them. Our home is spacious, lots of places for them to chill and relax.
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
“Marcel was well taken care of with Ivana! If you want a tired puppy this is definitely the place. Ivana was consistent with keeping me posted on how Marcel was doing throughout the day. Very accommodating with time frame as well! Definitely leaving a tip for that helped me out so much! Has spent repeated days with her and everytime was exhausted! Her dog was friendly with our puppy as well, helped with socializing him!”
“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
“Couldn't be happier with Stephanie. She's not only incredibly friendly but also very perceptive – she discovered my dog's love for fish treats without me having to say a word! Her warm communication style made me feel at ease throughout the sitting. Definitely my go-to for future dog-sitting needs!”
“Zhenting and her family are so friendly and caring. Today was the first day I sent my dogs to daycare and I was very nervous about it but they had a good time with Zhenting! She sends me pictures and messages frequently throughout the day. Very mindful and lovely family!”
“Doug took a good care of my my dog "Mochi". He was very good at communicating and flexible with my last minute request. I'm sure to leave my dog with him again! Thank you, Doug.”
About: I am an IT professional who is VERY passionate about animals 🫶🏻 I even decided to take them off my plate entirely 😅 Working with animals is my form of therapy and a way to exercise. I work from home and pretty much make my own schedule so I am very flexible 🤗 I grew up with dogs, cats and hamsters in the home, and I currently have a dog 🐕, 2 cats 🐈, and a hamster 🐹 I worked for a dog walking company in the past, so I have experience taking care of dogs of different sizes, from Tea Cup Poodles to Newfoundland Retrievers. I also did A Lot of volunteering at no-kill shelters when I was in school. During my Rover ‘career’ I got a chance to learn how to care for other animals: bunnies, parrots and mice😁 I have experience administering medications, including injections (subcutaneous and inter muscular only) PS I take a TON of photos for Rover cards and add notes to them😉 (see examples in my photo gallery) Have reliable transportation (SUV) to take your dog or cat places such as grooming salons, hospitals, parks, etc. Available during weekends and holidays (I’m a hermit😅) If your dog doesn’t mind company, I would bring my German Shepherd. I will, of course, ask you first 🙃 Sharing is caring so I usually bring a wide variety of treats😋 I normally don’t walk more than 3 dogs at a time so that your pets get more attention and love🥰 I shall treat your furry friends same way I treat my own pets and my fur balls are spoiled with love!!! Ultimately, I will strictly follow your instructions. The more details you provide the better care your furry companions gets🙂
“My two dogs loved staying there, especially Cha Cha. She was extraordinarily active. It is possible that she can play and socialize with other dogs. Kitty is very caring. She took a few photos and sent them to me. Definitely I will consider her boarding services next time when I am away on vacation ”
About: I have years of experience with animals from fostering, pet sitting, and owning my own pets! I also have done years of volunteering in different shelters. My experience goes far beyond cats and dogs extending to reptiles, birds, small animals you name it. I can handle animals of all temperaments and quirky personalities and have experience with shy and anxious pets. I have a lot of experience with both senior pets and puppies/kittens! I also know CPR, can administer injections, and first aid 😁 I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule and attend classes from 8:30am-12pm If I am in school someone is always home with your pets as I live with my family and they help me out a lot we love your pets like our own 😊 My routine really depends on owners instructions but I will adjust if I need to make it compatible to my lifestyle such as feeding and bathroom times!

“Maya is a reliable and caring dog lover. She took great care in getting to know my shy dog and reassured me that my pet would be in good hands. I’ve gone ahead and booked her for much of May! Great experience.”
About: I have two years of daily, hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Kylie. She is energetic but can be shy in unfamiliar situations, so I have learned to read a dog’s body language, give them time to adjust, and build trust without forcing interaction. In addition to caring for Kylie, I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs when they are away. This has given me experience following different feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I am patient, attentive, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I will treat your dog with the same care I give my own and provide regular photo and message updates while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to plan my day around pet care and provide consistent attention rather than rushing between visits. I am generally available on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on the booking. I will confirm my availability before accepting each request and make sure I have enough time to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routine. I provide care in my client’s home, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Before the booking, I prefer to have a meet and greet to learn about each pet’s personality, routine, care instructions, and any special needs. I carefully follow the owner’s directions for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I pay close attention when entering or leaving the home and always check that doors, windows, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure. I will never let a pet off leash or introduce them to unfamiliar animals without the owner’s permission. I respect my client’s home, keep the pet’s space clean, and maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photos and updates and will contact the owner promptly if I notice any unusual behavior or health concerns.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Samantha was on time, friendly, and Pinky went straight to her so that is always a good sign from my pup. She also kept me informed with her walk and a little giddyup I already knew about on her righ hip. Old doggie issues. Definitely will book with her again and recommend her to anyone else looking for someone to care for your fur baby.”
“I’m so glad I found Cheryll! She is the most responsive provider I’ve communicated with, and my little guy was immediately comfortable with her. Will definitely be requesting her services again. Thank you Cheryll!!”
About: “I have been the proud owner of my three dogs for almost 10 years, and I truly love them. I have always been caring and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I love spending time with pets, giving them attention, affection, and proper care.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I currently have a sweet kitty named Luna, who is very loved and very much a part of my family. I also had a pug named Khloe, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She was truly my baby, and I loved her like she was my own child. I miss her everyday, and losing her left a big space in my heart. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and happiness, and I feel lucky whenever I get the opportunity to love and care for someone else's furry family member! I currently have a lot of free time and flexibility, so I'm able to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need a helping hand! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends as well. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I'm available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Having a flexible schedule means to can give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I vow to always be respectful of your home and will follow your instructions and your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation and my own car, so I'm able to easily travel to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will treat your home and your fur babies with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I will also always keep you in the loop while I'm caring for your pet and will send you regular updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe and well cared for.
“Lauri is absolutely amazing with our anxious rescue Piper. From the very first meet-and-greet where she showed up in bright colored leggings so that Piper could identify her, to her very patient steps to build trust and rapport with our pup and each family member (even remembering career paths and school trips!), Lauri is nothing but pure heart, sincerity, and kindness. This particular neighborhood walk turned into last minute daycare on our mutual continual conversations, when we all could see Piper coming out of her shell. One of Lauri’s many great talents is being able to discern the limits of our Piper — when to challenge her and when to give her space — and this gift has been rewarded with Piper welcoming Lauri with a greater speed than she ever has anyone else. We are thrilled to have found Lauri and know that she will be folded into our village for years to come.”
“All I can say is that when you go on vacation and your a pet parent, the last thing you want is to worry about the well being of your dog. Well KATIE definitely gave me peace of mind and and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog Boris was in GREAT hands. After the meet and greet, I already had a sense of comfort because of her experience and super friendly demeanor. She also sent me pictures of Boris during walks and my family even told me that my dog can sense that she was close to come get him because he would start to act anxious and wait for her at the door. Knowing that truly solidifies her ability to love and care for your pet. If I ever need someone to walk/watch my dog(s) again, Katie will be my definite go to. THANK YOU KATIE! Oh...she also gave us a farewell dog toy and homemade chocolate chip cookies on her last day walking Boris. This is great customer service and definitely built a great rapport with my family and I.”
About: I've cared for my own 2 cats since 2018 when they were kittens. Now an expert in convincing and bribing cats to love me (while sometimes shoving meds down their throat). An excellent poop scooper! I work from home in Burlingame (Hanover Burlingame, if you are a neighbor, hi!). Weekdays are wide open for me to care for your pet child. Check calendar or with me for weekend availabilities :D For drop-in visits, I first take off my shoes (always!). I strive to keep your home, your child's food & litter setup as mess free as possible
“Winnie was exceptional in caring for my complicated chihuahuas and shy cat while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and dedication provided them with the companionship they craved, going far beyond what was expected. My pets were happy and well-cared for, and I’m incredibly grateful for her outstanding help. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, I used to train my dogs tricks such as hand shaking and sitting down etc. Im currently working part-time, flexible availability. Very detail oriented, love animals of all kinds. Have always lived with pets and knows perfectly how to take care of your kids!! At my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with lots of attention, play, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I stick to their routine feeding, cleaning, and giving love and care to keep pets happy and relaxed.
About: I grew up with dogs (a Golden Retriever and Terrier mix) and have since dog sat for many families throughout the years. I love an excuse to walk and spend time outdoors. My children are also very active and enjoy having a dog in our home so your dog is guaranteed a lot of attention, playtime and love. My children are ages 25 (a grad student at UC Davis), 22 (just graduated from UCSC and 18 (living at home and attending community college). I recently moved into an apartment so I no longer have a yard but we do have a nice street view that dogs really enjoy. I have to be mindful of noise having neighbors downstairs and next-door so if your dog tends to bark a lot my home may not be the best fit. Addition services: we had a bunny for 13 years that I really miss. We also offering bunny sitting for neutered and vaccinated buns. I currently work part time at a major airline (4 hours per day) and I typically work 5 days per week giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet. There is usually someone at home either me or my children. We do not have any pets of our own and I only watch one pet at a time. I make sure that everyone in my home is mindful of keeping the door closed.
About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.
About: It has been my pleasure to pet sit, walk, and care for people’s dogs, cats, birds, horses, and other creatures for over ten years. I grew up on a small farm and love all animals. I am comfortable taking care of a young puppy in someone’s home to taking rambunctious large dogs out for walks. I am reliable, responsible, and transparent. I am excellent at paying attention to details and thorough follow through to make sure your pet has safe and personalized care. No detail is too small. You will also find that I am as communicative as you would like me to be. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your fur family and free you up to focus on what you need to, knowing your pets are well cared for. I work mostly M-F so most of my care happens on Friday and the weekend when I have the most quality time to focus on your pet. I have a flexible schedule and do this because I love spending time with animals but don’t have any of my own yet. I have a tidy apartment that opens up onto a central courtyard with a lawn and orange trees. I live in a beautiful neighborhood and love going for walks all around.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, play and feed their furry friends. I also love cats and have experience playing and feeding them as well. I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job. Meanwhile, I will have plenty of time to help you with your furry friend! Week and weekends. I love to see them happy! I usually play with them and/or take them for a nice walk and help with feeding as well, making sure they have enough water and food.

“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Absolute Best Care for Sesame! I cannot recommend Kristine highly enough! She watched our dog, Sesame, over the weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, it was clear just how kind, patient, and genuinely nice she is. She treated Sesame like one of her own, giving her the absolute best care, attention, and love. It brought us total peace of mind knowing Sesame was in such safe, affectionate hands while we were away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Sesame can’t wait to hang out with her again! Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of our pup!”
“Jennifer took such great care of Molly during her boarding stay. Molly has allergies that cause eye discharge, and Jennifer made sure to clean her eyes every day. A lot of boarders overlook that extra care, so I really appreciated it. Molly’s eyes looked so clean and well cared for when I picked her up. Jennifer also kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight was delayed as well. I would absolutely use Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their dog.”
“RoRo had a great time with Lauri! And I was able to enjoy my first night away from my puppy, worry-free. She was communicative and flexible. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! 👍😀”
“Leeun and her family were one of the best Rover experiences we have had. They are kind and very responsive, easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates on our dog. They were very attentive to his needs, probably giving him more attention and walks than we can at home . We would have them dog sit again in a heartbeat!”
“OMG- it’s hard to express how extremely happy and content my dog Ivy was in Kaitlyn‘s care. Upon returning home from my trip, Ivy was actually depressed not to be with Sammy and Kaitlyn! They showed her such a wonderful time with plenty of walks, play time and excursions. I received so many updates- photos and videos while away. It truly warmed my heart to know Ivy was under such good care. We’re already looking forward to booking again! ?”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”

“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“My dogs stayed with Anna for three weeks while I recover from surgery. She was so patient with my two dogs and gave them lots of affection and loving care. Not only she sent me lots photos and texts communication, she let me visit them at her home. I’m so grateful for Anna, so I can heal properly and peacefully during these three weeks.”
“Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”
“Aimee looked after our Cavapoo, Alfie, over the holidays. She was very welcoming, communicative and ensured Alfie would be looked after! I would highly recommend Aimee to anyone looking for someone to look after their pup. Thanks Aimee!”
“Andy was FANTASTIC. He sent many videos and photos so we wouldn't miss our dog, too much. He took incredible care of Cleo and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well-exercised. It was really nice having her stay with another golden (Milo). Milo is extremely polite and well-behaved and acts as a great companion. Andy asked permission before feeding Cleo any fruits or veggies, too. We could tell he really loves dogs and you can have total peace of mind when your dog is in his care. Highly recommended.”
“Kiara and her family were once again incredibly caring and kind to our sweet Luna. So thankful for their care of Luna she truly enjoys her visits. Thank you!!”
“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
