“I can tell Sybil had a great time because when it was time to go she curled up in Maria's lap and didn't want to leave 😅. Maria clearly has a way with dogs and my pup had a great time playing with her son as well. Thanks Maria!”

“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”


“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”


“Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊”

“Ross, Melissa, and Millie were the best sitters we could ask for! We received constant photo updates and they loved on our pups as if they were their own! Our dogs were sad to leave and we could tell from all the photos, walks, and adventures that they had an absolute blast. Would absolutely rebook again when we are out of town and need a sitter!”

“Luna was so fun to meet and such a great friend to our pup. Followed all of his feeding and medication instructions, no small feat for an older dog with arthritis. Very communicative leading up to and throughout our trip. Beautiful dog friendly home with a secure backyard, and her dog Pepito got along with ours famously! Highly recommend boarding with Luna and Pepito and excited to do it again soon.”
“Yesica - did an amazing job with our dogs. She followed our instructions to a letter and provide provided us consistent updates throughout the day and even pictures of them. This helped us feel a lot more comfortable. We would highly recommend her and will book with her again.”

“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”

“We are so grateful to have found Yuko & pack. They took such wonderful care of Scooter and allowed our minds to be at ease while being on vacation for 10 days. We were updated with pictures and videos and we could tell he was having such a blast. That made our hearts very happy! Scooter can be picky and will choose not to eat his meals. They were able to find ways to encourage him to eat all his meals. We are happy to have found this family that Scooter can go to when we need someone to watch him.”


“Our 14 month old dog had never been boarded away from home. Mariola took great care of him at her home for a brief 24 hour stay in anticipation of a longer upcoming planned stay. The communication was excellent and our dog enjoyed spending time with Mariola and two other small dogs. We appreciated having our dog boarded nearby with Mariola in Berkeley.”

“Luffy really has a great time with Kianna and her family. He gets lots of love from her children and I love seeing all the photo updates! As always, thank you for taking such good care of luffy.”

“This is my fourth time booking with Irene. 10/10 every time. She’s prompt, responsive and compassionate. Irene keeps me in the loop at all times sending thorough photo and video recaps of the day. She’s been flexible and extremely understanding when it comes to delays/ changes in my business travel timelines.”

“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”

“Overall a great experience- we met at a local park to make sure the dogs got along and everything seemed great, so we went forward. Our dog Sammy had a four day stay and seemed to enjoy every bit of it with all the pictures and feedback we received. Lucas was very professional and accommodating to our schedule changes (delayed flight). We will definitely be using them again. Thanks Lucas!”

“Radha is always so great with our doggos. She is attentive and gives photo updates which always gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Happy to have her watch our dogs any time.”

“Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available”

“Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”

“Luciana and Robert were excellent caretakers for my dog Kiwi. They suggested a meet and greet at their home beforehand, which allowed Kiwi to get familiar with them and their home before our 15-day trip. This really helped on drop off day. They were so loving to her, took her on adventures to new places and let her snuggle with them at night. I received regular messages and pics while we were away which was very comforting. Luciana is experienced with dogs and even gave me a tip to help with my dogs food allergies. They are warm and responsible and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or rebook them in the future. Thanks so much, Luciana and Robert!”

About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love cats. (Actually, I love all animals!). I was adopted by my own last year. I love her dearly, but she's a bit of a klutz and is very opinionated. I also have a dog, a bearded dragon, and fish. I grew up cat sitting for my neighbors, feeding them twice a day, clearing out their little box, and spending time giving them lots of love. It was a great experience as a kid, knowing that I was responsible for the well being of these beautiful creatures. I've also been the consistent friend who everyone relies on for watching their cats when they leave town. I'd like to bring that care and experience to your cat and provide them with reliable and steady attention.
“Phuong was wonderful. Our original cat sitter broke her foot and canceled the day before we were due to leave. Phuong came through at the last minute. She was so conscientious and took time with the kitties, even winning over the heart of our shy cat Chompie. She sent photos and videos and sent updates. We didn’t have to worry about the kitties at all and knew they would be cared for. I highly recommend Phuong. We will definitely use her again.”


“Olivia did an excellent job caring for Lucy and Ricky Bobby while we were away. She was very attentive to them. She did the basics, but also went above and beyond by playing with them pretty extensively! And she even went outside and said "hello" to our neighborhood cat Luna, who stops by nearly every day. The photo updates Olivia sent were great too! When we got home, both cats seemed happy and well cared for. I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Alexandra went well above and beyond what we asked her to do for our cat, as well as our fish tank and tortoise. She cleaned, took out trash, washed pet bowls, and more. She was thorough, organized, and very patient with our anxious kitty. A genuine animal lover.”

“Lili is very experienced and a great communicator. She cared for our kitty for 8 days while we were away. Although our cat hides from all newcomers and can be quite determined in doing so, Lili was able to entice her out for pets and play several times and reliably sent us updates while we were away. We were grateful to have her help and to know our recluse was getting some love and care in our absence. Very glad to recommend Lili!!”

“Rebecca has provided excellent care for my kitty on two occasions, once shortly after he came into my life as a 5 month old rescue, and the second time soon after he turned one year old, still full of mischievous energy. Rebecca is an excellent communicator, reliable and trustworthy. She sends several photos from each visit. I return home to a calm and happy cat, and my home, kitchen and kitty litter area are very tidy. I greatly appreciate being able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing my kitty is well cared for. I highly recommend Rebecca!”


“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”

“Kristi has been amazing with our kitties. She has adapted to changes with them, whether with meds or their arrangements/needs. She's always great about sending pictures and really went above and beyond for our last trip out of town. We're so grateful for her help!”


“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!”

“Radha was great as usual, we reached out in the morning for a same day daycare request and she responded right away. Our dog was so excited to see her and Jimmy. We got pictures and video all day that showed our dog having so much fun. Radha is so great and we'll be booking with her again.”

“Jessica is a natural with dogs! She is very thoughtful and detail oriented. I have 2 seniors with special health needs and she is very attentive and reliable. My dogs are anxious with changes to their routine but after a few days with Jessica they were happy to rush into her place when I dropped off, and tried to follow her back to her place instead of getting in the car to leave after pick up. I definitely recommend Jessica!”


“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”

“Kelly was wonderful with my pup Mochi, and easy to communicate with. I just got Mochi (a rescue) a couple of weeks ago so I was nervous about leaving him for the day but Kelly was very reassuring and Mochi had a great time!”

“If you want someone who understands dogs of all kinds and provides them with a safe, super fun spot, Lucas is your guy! Lucas is great with dogs and helped my shy small pup get comfortable quickly. His place is perfect for daycare and he puts your dog first. Donut loved romping around his yard, and cuddling with his sweet dog, too. I couldn’t be happier to find Lucas for daycare!”

“Eileen and Rolando are amazing! We did a meet and greet with my pup and Toro before our weekly dog day care, very friendly invited us right in. Toro is a sweetheart and I'm glad my pup has a cheerful bud to hang with during the day. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and they take them out a couple of times, so plenty of attention and entertainment. Thank you both!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a kid. Currently, have two, kind, and well behaved huskies in our huge backyard. Ready to share with other friendly dogs. Can also take out for walks at Point Isabel. I’m employed full time and work from home. My day follows the huskies flow so adding a few more friendly dogs to our routine is welcome. Typically, we do morning walk and food then dogs chill in the backyard. Then in the afternoon we repeat. Early morning coffee outside includes lots of dog attention. Dogs can enjoy a large outdoor space with plenty of shade. I can make sure they are safe and cared for during your work hours. Food, water, walks… let me know what you need.
About: Hi! We are Angelina and Xavior & we are here to be your fur baby’s new favorite sitter! We joined Rover in 2018 & have met so many amazing fur babies & pet parents! I (Angelina) have been taking care of different animals since I was about 9 years old, however as of 5 years ago I’ve started to work with pets in a more professional setting. I started at a doggie daycare, until moved to a training & boarding kennel. The owner also did have a dog rescue as well. There I worked with one of the best dog trainers in Northern Virginia for almost 2 years & learned a lot not only about dog training but also working with rescue pups & how it sometimes can be a bit different! After that I worked at an SPCA location with rescue pups & kitties! We relocated to Atlanta for a while where we continued to do Rover & I also worked at another doggie daycare/kennel/rescue hybrid! Aside from this I do also have a dog training certification as well as a grooming certification. We both have experience with a variety of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats,cows,goats,horses,reptiles,birds,rodents,etc. We hope this gives you a bit more Insight on us both & we can’t wait to hear from you! I recently made the decision to work on rover full-time as I love being able to provide at-home care for your fur babies that cannot board in a kennel-like-environment. Pet care will always fit in perfectly to my routine! We will always follow your pet’s typical routine unless otherwise requested. We know how stressful it can be for both the pet & pet parent, which is why your baby is always our top priority. Whether it is a drop-in, quick walk, or month long stay we make sure to give your baby lots of love while their you are away! We have a dog who is quite the social butterfly! If your baby also loves to make friends she would be a great addition to keeping us company!
“Hope is a wonderful dog sitter. She follow all my instruction to take care my dog. She even sent me photos to see hows she’s doing. She even took her a long walk. She got along with my dog”

“Yagmur did a great job with my husky, Alba! She was friendly, communicative, and shared a lot of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, especially since it was Alba's first time with dog boarding.”


About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and I regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I primarily set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. My partner, Jen, is also available to support with pet care and walks if you are comfortable with Jen stepping in at times. Between both of our schedules, we can better accommodate recurring clients who need weekly care! There are photos of Jen at the end of my photo section. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.
About: I have been raising, training and loving dogs since I was a kid. It's second nature to me, and so is supporting you as the owner to feel heard & comfortable while you're away from your baby. I have experience raising puppies, managing dogs with high energy, and making quirky pups with higher needs feel comfortable. For puppies or older dogs learning, I can offer training & training reinforcement. For senior dogs, I can help with more delicate care. Our household works from home, so your dog will always be supervised while they're here. Our neighborhood is fantastic for solo walks, and for social & active dogs, we're close to Pt. Isabel, the Albany Bulb, and the little dog park. One thing to note: I have a 10 year old human baby who is a dog (and bug, bird, reptile) lover and member of your care team in our household. For in-home services like boarding and daycare, please note your dog must be okay being near children. :) I can't wait to meet you and your pup! As an entrepreneur, my schedule is flexible - pet care fits perfectly into my days and often gets me out of the house and happier! It's important to me to listen to you & learn about your pet so that I can provide the best possible care for them while you're away. I want you to feel comfortable - whether you're just at work for the day or on vacation. Our backyard is fenced and the household very experienced with the various temperaments of different dogs.

“Missy has been walking my dog for about half a year now. She has been more than wonderful. My dog is not an easy dog. She's also very skittish around new people. Missy was able to work with her and transitioned well. Now my dog gets excited and happy every time she sees her. Missy is very attentive and follow instructions very well. She asked questions about my dog and was interested in getting to know her and care for her right. I believe her experience in working at shelters is an asset and help her in understanding dogs behavior and making them feel comfortable and cared for. She's also very on time, reliable, and responsible. All in all, I can't recommend her enough. She's just awesome!”

“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!”

“Debi was amazing. She jumped into action only minutes after my request for help. I could not have asked for a better walker and caretaker for my pup. Thanks for going above and beyond the call of duty.”

“This is a repeat hire due to the success and quality of the previous walk . Our Malinois is well rested after the walk , and communication with Judy was clear and comfortable . Heartily recommended!”


“Cyndi was so great with our dogs. They connected with her immediately and greeted her with enthusiasm on every visit. Friendly and reliable— our dogs definitely loved Cyndi’s visits and the variety of walks she took them on. We plan to have her care for our dogs again on future trips if she’s available.”

“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!”

“Rebecca is great with my dog and even brought him a companion one day. He needs more socialization with other dogs, so this was perfect for him. A very thoughtful and helpful touch.”

“Pooya was professional and reliable, and took such great care of our pooch. Our dog was so happy to see Pooya for his walks. Pooya’s communication with me was excellent and prompt. It was such a pleasure to work with Pooya!”

“Lexx made time to do a meet and greet with Panda on a Friday evening and was great working with her (even though Panda tends to be barky and anxious). She followed our instructions and left a detailed description of her walk! Would definitely recommend Lexx!”

About: Hi! My name is Vivi and I love dogs. (Actually, I love all animals!) I grew up with family dogs and adopted my own last year (she's a complete sweetie). I also have a cat, a bearded dragon, and fish. I worked in a local dog daycare and hotel for over three years and loved it! Now that I'm in a graduate program, I couldn't keep up the hours but missed the dogs. My favorite part of that job was walking the dogs and now I'd love to walk your dog. I really enjoy connecting with each dog, getting to know their personalities, taking care of them, and giving them the attention, stimulation, and fun that comes from being together and enjoying the day. I am currently working on my clinical hours for my degree and am busy Monday and Wednesday after noons 1-5pm and Thursdays at the same time and at 7am-10am every other week. Any other time is all good for me! When I take care of a pet, I care for them in any ways that they might need. I have had experiences with reactive dogs, dogs with specific medical needs, young dogs who are practicing training still, and senior dogs. I want to do what is most comfortable for the dog and am super happy to accommodate for any needs that they have when caring for them! I have experience reading and reacting to cat and dog body language and know when my presence is invited by them and when they might need more space. It's important to look for the animals consent and comfort when working with and taking care of them so they can remain as happy and stress free as possible!
“Rebecca was great. My 11yr old pup doesnt always want to wak in the evening, so she sat with him on the front porch so he could sniff the air and take in the view as he likes to do. Will rebook.”

“I can tell Sybil had a great time because when it was time to go she curled up in Maria's lap and didn't want to leave 😅. Maria clearly has a way with dogs and my pup had a great time playing with her son as well. Thanks Maria!”

“Ross, Melissa, and Millie were the best sitters we could ask for! We received constant photo updates and they loved on our pups as if they were their own! Our dogs were sad to leave and we could tell from all the photos, walks, and adventures that they had an absolute blast. Would absolutely rebook again when we are out of town and need a sitter!”

“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”

“Luffy really has a great time with Kianna and her family. He gets lots of love from her children and I love seeing all the photo updates! As always, thank you for taking such good care of luffy.”

“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”

“Overall a great experience- we met at a local park to make sure the dogs got along and everything seemed great, so we went forward. Our dog Sammy had a four day stay and seemed to enjoy every bit of it with all the pictures and feedback we received. Lucas was very professional and accommodating to our schedule changes (delayed flight). We will definitely be using them again. Thanks Lucas!”

“Radha is always so great with our doggos. She is attentive and gives photo updates which always gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Happy to have her watch our dogs any time.”

“Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available”

“Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.”
“Allora was great! I only have positive things to say, Coco seemed so happy staying with her and her family. Allora sent me frequent updates and pictures which was great! I will definitely be boarding Coco with her again.”

“Luciana and Robert were excellent caretakers for my dog Kiwi. They suggested a meet and greet at their home beforehand, which allowed Kiwi to get familiar with them and their home before our 15-day trip. This really helped on drop off day. They were so loving to her, took her on adventures to new places and let her snuggle with them at night. I received regular messages and pics while we were away which was very comforting. Luciana is experienced with dogs and even gave me a tip to help with my dogs food allergies. They are warm and responsible and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or rebook them in the future. Thanks so much, Luciana and Robert!”

“Sherry went above and beyond to take care of Molly during her stay, including taking her to vet (which was quite a drive away) when her vet here in Berkeley was unable to see her immediately. She clearly loves animals and will do her best to care for them like her own pet during their stay. Five stars for her extra time and care to ensure the best care for our girl!”

“You took great care of Maia and she seemed happy and settled in easily. We appreciate you being very welcoming and we knew she would get along with other dogs and be well cared for. We'll definitely be back in touch when we travel again!”

“We were so thankful for Ms. Shatese for accepting our last minute need after two sitters canceled last minute. She is a beautiful spirit who consistently kept us updated based on a schedule she had originally provided which allowed us to be at true ease while away from our pup. Her little one, Prince, is the most handsome ever. Was very grateful for all updates and adjustments”

“Monica is the best! She couldn’t have been more welcoming. My dog clearly loved Monica’s family and her dog. They went on daily walks and played in the yard at home. Just perfect. Many thanks!”


“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Ning cared so thoughtfully for my puppy, who needed overnight care while I was moving. Even though my puppy’s second overnight ever and first time with Ning, she was more relaxed. I could tell she was tired but not overstimulated. Ning also was communicative about some specific concerns I had with my puppy’s health/behavior and was attentive to keeping a routine for my puppy in the midst of so many changes. Thank you so much, Ning, I’m so grateful!”

“Michael was flexible with drop off and pickup times and was very communicative throughout the process. He sent daily status updates and photos of our pup, so we could rest assured that she was being well-cared for. He took our pup on multiple walks per day along with his dog, and made sure she had plenty of outside time. He made us feel comfortable that our pup was in good hands.”
