“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“Kara is the real deal! I was in a bind and needed some last minute help to watch my border collie over the weekend and she was extremely helpful. She was responsive and so caring with my baby. I wish I could include the photos she sent— I don’t even think I could have made my high energy dog as relaxed as she did. I highly recommend her services and from now on she will be my local go to.”

“Audrina and Donny were amazing! They provided regular updates, were very responsive and too great care of my dog. They were able to keep my very active dog really engaged with regular walks, potty breaks, playing fetch and training him (last two were them going above and beyond). They were very knowledgeable about pet care and had asked me to fill out a questionnaire about my dog and his activities before the stay so that they can keep it as a reference during his stay. Audrina also has a very helpful drop off checklist covering all the stuff my dog would need for his stay. Would be looking for Audrina’s help for a future stay as well!”
“Diane is the best! Leaving my senior pup who can't see or hear very well anymore with someone else for a few days is not easy for an anxious dog mom like me, but Diane took such good care of Tippy while we were away. Diane and asked good questions about Tippy's preferences and different needs, and I felt confident I could trust her to take good care of Tippy. She provided great updates with photos and videos, and I could tell Tippy was in good hands and having a great time. She and Diane went on lots of walks, and Diane has a big yard where Tippy could get lots of sniffs (her favorite)!”
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Jesse and Kimmy were so wonderful with you 3 year old Labradoodle. Peet felt right at home and really settled in nicely. We received many updates and pics throughout the way. Will be rebooking again soon!! Thank you for loving our sweet pup while we were away!”
“Our regular boarding situation fell through at the last minute and I found Tillana as our first Rover boarder/sitter. I can’t believe my girls have missed out on Tillana for all these years. They were so loved and cared for, I never worried about them once during the week we were away. Tillana sent regular pupdates with photos, and I knew my girls were happy and engaged. I would not hesitate to book my girls with Tillana again, for boarding or daycare! Tillana is the biggest dog lover you will find to care for yours ❤️”

“Taryn was awesome! We were traveling to Pescadero for the day, with my daughter, son in-law and grandpuppies, but didn't want to leave them in the car while we had lunch and walked the town. Taryn met us at the restaurant and took the dogs to a nearby play area. She was on time, professional, and so caring with the pups. There human mommy was nervous to leave them, but felt comfortable with Taryn. We had a relaxing lunch, and the pooches came back happy and tired! Thanks Taryn for your professionalism, it added so much to our special day.”

“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”
“Anna was so sweet with my puppy. She spent some time with her and even went the extra mile trying to get her to sleep before she left. She did a meet and greet the day before hand which was nice of her. Would definitely reach out again for a check in!”
“Anastassi was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Bishu, while we were away. She did drop-in visits and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really helped us feel at ease. She even made time to meet us beforehand, and it was clear right away that she’s both sweet and trustworthy. It’s always a little nerve-racking giving someone access to your home, but Anastassi made us completely comfortable and took great care of Bishu. He even looked excited to see her and played with her during visits.! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with Shannon. She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. Not only she carefully followed all of our instructions, including administering medications and providing extra attention to some of our kitties when needed. She truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable, happy and healthy. Throughout our time away, Shannon was in regular contact with us and provided thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties. We could enjoy our trip knowing that someone really cared about our pets.”
“Tillana was so great with our cat Meeko! She asked a lot of really good questions about his temperament and his likes/dislikes which I really appreciated. She sent us a ton of pictures of him playing and eating! I would love to have Tillana take care of Meeko again :)”

“This was my first time using Rover for my two cats. Cinthia did not disappoint! I was worried and scared leaving my two babies for the first time, but upon finding Cinthia, that stress was gone.

About: I grew up in a home with multiple pets, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My daughter has been asking for a dog, and while we’re not ready for our own just yet, we truly enjoy welcoming visiting pups into our home and treating them like family 🐕💛 I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. We enjoy daily walks 🐾, playtime 🎾, and lots of cuddles, while always respecting each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to follow your dog’s routine closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, special diets, walk preferences, or exercise needs. My goal is to make your dog feel happy and at home while you’re away.
“Kenny, was very kind. He ensured Poppy was taken care of. I really appreciate the communication videos and photos throughout the day. She seemed happy and wanted to come back everyday, which was a great sign that you enjoyed staying there! Thank you!”
“Tillana was amazing! She helped watched my puppy last minute when my other sitter bailed. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day and was super responsive. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for doggy care!”
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
“Thanks for taking great care of Buddy! Buddy was very happy to to stay at Lulu's house with her family. He was with Lulu for 5 days for a day care and he was very happy everyday I went to pick him up. Will definitely use your services again!”
“Great communication, sent pics of our pup throughout the day. Met us at a convenient spot much closer to our campground to make it easier on us. Flexible timeframe. Great first experience with a dog sitter.”
“Manli was so accommodating and sent regular updates with plenty of photos throughout the stay. I could tell that Tofu was having so much fun. Thanks so much for an amazing first Rover experience in the Bay! We’ll be back :)”
“Lola is a very shy girl and has a lot of separation anxiety but Trishalee was so sensitive and made sure that Lola had some play time, quiet time and affection to make her feel comfortable. I will be booking again.”

“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”

About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with a lifelong love for animals — especially rescues. Over the past 13 years, I’ve owned and cared for three very different dogs (a chihuahua, dachshund mix, and shepherd mix), so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on your dog — whether that means a short, gentle walk for a senior pup or a long, active outing to burn energy. I also have hands-on experience with dogs who have leash or food aggression, and I always approach care with patience, awareness, and respect for each dog’s comfort level. As of 6/1/2026 I have a Certificate of Completion from the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid (online) In addition, one of my dogs, Shadow, has seizures, so I’m familiar with staying calm in high-stress situations, monitoring for symptoms, and providing attentive, responsive care when it matters most. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who has extra needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs of all sizes and breeds — from small terriers to larger dogs like pit bulls — and feel confident handling a wide range of temperaments. I’m happy to provide: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Feeding and routine care • Medication (depending on type) • Baths and brushing • Calm, attentive care for anxious or special needs pets • Plenty of love and companionship Beyond dogs, I have 20+ years of experience with cats. I’ve volunteered with Homeless Cat Network and fostered for Coastside Feral Care. Fun fact: Every animal I’ve cared for or owned has been a rescue — I have a special place in my heart for them and understand the extra patience and care they sometimes need. ________________________________________ 🐾 Why pet parents choose me • Experience with multiple breeds and temperaments • Comfortable with reactive and special needs dogs • Firsthand experience with seizure care • Cat care expert with volunteer/foster background • Calm, patient, and highly attentive
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals for families and neighbors for over 8 years. This ranges from home check-ins, trips to the vet, and overnight pet sitting. I have two cats at home and share custody of an English lab with my ex-boyfriend. New graduate in between jobs. Availability for the month of May/June is open. I do my best to accommodate all hours and needs for clients. I understand that a pet's home and environment are crucial. At home, I make sure my cats always have access to their food and water, litter boxes, and places for them to lounge :)

“Ulysses was very understanding and helpful when I was trying to figure out the app while teaching and trying to arrange a same day dog walk! Thank you, Ulysses! And most importantly he was great with my 2 big dogs! They both felt instantly comfortable with him, had a great walk and were happy and tired all day afterwards!”
“Tillana is wonderful with our pup! She is energetic, enthusiastic and very sweet in all her interactions with us and our dog. Our dog has been a part of her doggy day care group for many years. It is a great place for our dog to get some energy out in play and connect socially with other dogs. I believe it adds a lot of enrichment to our pup’s life! I highly recommend Tillana and her doggy day care group!”
“Anastasii is fabulous with our dogs! She is very punctual and reliable. We trust her very much to care for our two dogs and she always goes above and beyond.”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life. 1 of my families dogs currently has had a history of being reactive with other dogs.

I take only online classes and then have work for a few hours in the evening on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I would be able to make your pet care my priority. I’m very respectful of other people’s space and always make sure to leave someone’s home spotless. I treat your animals like my own, playing, spending time, and caring for them as much as I can.

“Seva has been wonderfully prompt and communicative. She has gone above and beyond in situations, such as cleaning up when my dog surprised her with a living room full of torn up shoes. Definitely recommended.”
“David did an amazing job with our pup! She was always happy to see him and he provided some really nice photos and updates during the walks. Great communication and fantastic service. We definitely plan to hire David again for future walks!”
“Sumaira is always on time and I know I can count on her to take good care of my fur babies. While walking my Siberian Husky another dog that was unleased attacked my dog. Sumaira safely got my girl home and check her out from head to toe. She promptly notified me that the husky was attacked, however alright. Sumaira let me know there was a little blood on her ear, however she did not appear to be injured. I myself have had another dog attack us when we were walking. Sumaira did the responsible thing and notified me and ensured my girl was alright. In this type of situation that is best can be accomplished and despite this incident I will ask Sumaira to walk her again.”

I especially liked the daily pictures of our smilin’ dogs! I highly recommend Emma for the care of your pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or training. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part time, I can care for your pet before work and after work. I will work less than 12 hours a week so I’m hoping to be available often. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect as my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, water bowls are fresh, and pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and safe while you’re away.
“They were punctual, reliable, and provided personalized care, taking time to understand my dog's needs and routines. The regular updates and adorable photos were a nice touch, offering peace of mind. In short, if you want a dog walker who treats your pup like family,Keith is the way to go. I highly recommend their services.”

“Nina and Leo took great care of Nana! We had a great meet and greet. While they were watching her they provided tons of photos and updates. She was in great hands! We will definitely request them again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Matthew was very responsible and communicative. He provided many photo updates of our pup enjoying her stay, and flawlessly followed care instructions around medication, walking and feeding.”
“Margaret is probably the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. Let me give some context: our utterly cute dog was adopted in 2020 (pandemic dog) with already deep fear and trauma. We think something happened when she was a puppy that caused deep fear such as abuse or some sort of trauma. Basically, she was afraid of everything and utterly shy. We worked with multiple trainers for almost two years and finally got her to a good place. We learned with time and patience she gets comfortable with strangers and once you’re in her pack. You are there for life. She loves playing with dogs but dog parks would get complicated because other dogs sometimes would teach bad habits or become aggressive (trainers also mentioned things can escalate and certain owners have no control). We also learned she is scared of certain breeds and afraid of cats. But she has an incredible memory and is the smartest dog we’ve ever had. However, most people dog kennels, individuals have zero experience and patience. Given her memory, there are certain vets or dog daycares she will cry and try running away from if we are walking by. The true test of dog unhappiness. Fast forward to 2023, we’ve built trust and loyalty with our baby but the problem is she is still afraid of strangers and the unknown. She is al highly protective of her territory and will start barking (think a stranger walking up to me or a stranger entering our home). We’ve learned methods to make her feel safe and comfortable and ways strangers should approach. Basically it’s hard to find a dog sitter for her than the average dog. Most places are money machines and do not give her the time making her regress. Margaret is beyond words incredible. She knows how to work with all types of dogs including very shy dogs and dogs with behavioral challenges. She has ample experience and genuine care for animals. Also our dog is highly fearful of the breeds: huskies and German shepherds. Margaret has both and was able to get our dog comfortable going out on runs and walks with them. When we came to pick her up she was sad to go and saying bye to both Margaret, her partner John (another amazing human) and all their dogs. She loved all of them from Luma the chihuahua mix that made ours more social to the Willis and Jackson that made her confident to even Jackson who made her feel safe and like a queen. They even were flirting hahaha Never have we left our dog and received so many pictures and saw her so happy. She did not even want to leave when we picked her up and learned new commands in just one week like paw. Our dog even cried while we drove away and loved her new pack. Margaret said she fit right in. If Margaret and John open a doggie daycare, our pup would be there every day because we have never seen her so social and happy while remaining in a safe and controlled space. She was loved, fed like crazy (the way to her heart) but did not gain weight because of all the exercise, games and activities provided by this wonderful couple. Margaret is also an incredible trainer and has so much patience and love. I felt so easy on our holidays with my baby there, did not even think twice. We are beyond proud and since that week with Margaret she is a different dog. Sweeter, calmer and just more confident and trusting. Please open a daycare that this area so desperately needs. One thing- I recognize the price is expensive this was our biggest challenge but they are truly worth it!!”
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”
“Siobhan and Guillermo took great care of Chutney - they shared some pics from her stay, and she came home tired which is always a good sign! We have already booked with them again and plan to use continuously in the future.”
About: I’ve been a pet mom of two adopted pets and an aunt for four of my sister’s dogs. I have successfully trained puppies and now am taking care of my two senior dogs. Our kids are obsessed with dogs and will also show tlc to all puppies as they refer to them. I currently work from home and am available for dog walking and overnight sitting. The dogs get a 3-5 mile walk each day depending on the weather. My dogs are with my almost 24/7 with the exception of when I’m running errands here and there. They are the center of our world.
