“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“Shaira took wonderful care of my dog Chubby. She took her out on walks and played with her. I am glad that my dog got to have her own vacation too when we were out of town. Shaira also sent us multiple updates with pictures and videos every day 💓!”
“Jie provides daily updates with pictures and details. My dog went home with happiness. He must have had a great time with Jie. We will book with her again if she is available.”
“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“Nancy was really easy to communicate with and sent a lot of updates on my dog! She was great with my special needs boy (dog reactive, daily medication). Would be happy to rebook with her.”
About: I’ve been fostering dogs with weight problems. I successfully managed their weight through strict diet and regular walks. I follow proper schedule for playtime and other activities so that the pets do their daily exercise. As a mom with grown kids, I understand the deep importance of family including the four-legged members. I am starting this new chapter of my life to help busy working parents keep their pets happy, healthy, and exercised. I have a fully secured fenced yard for play time and a foster rescue dog as a friendly companion. Feeding and playtime will be managed separately.
“Hong was very sweet and attentive. Always got pics and videos of my pup daily as well as making the whole boarding process super easy by doing a meet and greet and constant updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be boarding my pups again soon!”
“Selena was amazing with Mathilde! Mathilde almost always has anxiety and can't eat much during her first couple of boarding days but with Selena she ate every day and was calm and had fun.”
“Jay is a kind and wonderful dog boarder. Our cattledog, Arrow, was so well taken care of and was so relaxed during his stay with Jay. We got several timely updates with pictures and Arrow looked perfectly content in the new environment. I would highly recommend Jay and will be using his service again.”
“Alexandra was amazing! She was extremely communicative throughout the entire stay and regularly sent photos of my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear how caring and attentive she is, and I truly felt that my dog was well taken care of the whole time. I would absolutely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Selena took the time to know my dog before our appointment. She was also accommodating to our plan changes and our specific needs. My dog looked happy under her care and had a great time!”
“Melody did a fantastic job with my pup. She kept me updated daily with the routine and pictures. She was kind, patient, and made Ruby feel right at home. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely rebook with Melody and her mother.”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Sriram is a fantastic sitter! I’ve had mixed luck in the past, but he exceeded all expectations. My dog was treated like family, enjoying tons of walks and play in a safe, spotless home. Sriram’s constant updates and photos gave me total peace of mind. I picked up a happy, relaxed pup who clearly enjoyed his 'vacation’ lol. We will absolutely be booking with Sriram and his awesome family again!”
“Marsha is so perfect! There is not much to add. She communicates well. My dogs have always loved her. She sends tons of pics. My only sitter for my dogs.”
“Lavanya is super caring for our dog Cho Cho. She sent us photos and videos every day. Cho Cho looked really happy at her house playing with her dog Coco. Overall 5 star experience.”
“Our 7 year old Shepherd mix gets lots of long walks and cuddles when Judi takes care of her. She has some separation anxiety but seems calm and content when we leave her with Judi. Definitely recommend Judi as a dog sitter 😊”
“Jianli & Wiena took very good care of our dog. They were very caring and took care of all her needs and send us lots of photos and videos with regular updates. We highly recommend him & will definitely use them again.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Shruti and would absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent throughout Julie’s stay. Julie had a bout of diarrhea while she was there, and Shruti kept me updated every step of the way, which greatly reduced my stress and gave me confidence that Julie was being well cared for.”

“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Bianca did a great job taking care of my 4 cats while we're traveling. She is very thoughtful and even helped us get additional pee pads of which I didn't prepare enough before I left for the trip. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Johnason. He followed all our instructions carefully and sent regular updates. Our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated his reliability and kindness. Thank you”
“Our cats were very well taken care of while we were gone. We felt confident leaving them for 8 days in Jing’s care. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos! She made sure to play with them after feeding which they love. You can tell she’s passionate about cats and their well being.”
“My plans changed last minute and I was so glad I was able to book with Paige! She was super communicative, respectful, and patient. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for my cats. She is very reliable, follows instructions carefully, and always pays close attention to their individual needs. One of my cats is very shy and cautious around people, and Jennifer was incredibly compassionate and patient with her, respecting her boundaries while helping her feel safe and comfortable. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my cats were in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Siqin dropped by everyday for 9 days and dealt with our apartment blocking parking for a couple of days. Apparently my cat's limit for being away from us is a week as Siqin had to clean up angry poop the last few days. Again, she is able to get my super shy cat out and pet him and give him meds. She sent me plenty of pictures and a video of each cat everyday. Will use her again. 10/10.”
About: I genuinely care about animals and treat them like family. I enjoy spending time with them and build strong emotional bonds. Many of my friends trust me to care for their pets because I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs. I work from home and can regularly visit your home to spend time with your pets, feed them, and play with them on weekdays and weekends. I primarily care for pets in my clients’ homes because I believe they feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend extended time with pets during the day — providing companionship, playtime, feeding, and regular check-ins rather than only short visits. When I am in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all house rules and care instructions. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure pets stay in safe areas, and never bring visitors or outside animals into the home. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and medication if needed, so their lifestyle remains consistent and stress-free. I pay careful attention to body language and behavior to make sure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment — and to care for every pet with the same patience and respect I would give to my own family.
“Suzie was a tremendous help with my senior CKD cat, Molly, during two home subcutaneous fluid sessions. On the first day, I took the lead and Suzie assisted with line priming, valve operation, and helping keep Molly comfortable and still during the procedure. On the second day, Suzie took the lead and successfully performed the needle insertion and fluid administration while I assisted with positioning Molly, valve operation, and fluid flow. Molly's care requires patience, teamwork, attention to detail, and a calm approach. Suzie was reliable, professional, gentle with Molly, and adaptable when our roles changed from one day to the next. On the day Suzie took the lead, Molly received her full fluid treatment with no observed leakage, and Molly remained comfortable, mobile, and relaxed afterward. I would gladly work with Suzie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable help with a pet who has ongoing medical needs.”
“This is our very first experience with Rover, and it couldn’t have been better all thanks to Katelyn! She is one of the most passionate pet lovers that we have ever met. She treated our cat like her own and always went the extra mile. For example, we only asked her to refill the water fountain, but she completely cleaned the fountain after noticing some gem buildup in it during one of the visits. Furthermore, she also gave us valuable advices such as to set up a bird feeder to keep our cat entertained while we are away. Therefore, Katelyn is definitely our go-to pet sitter in the future!”
About: I focus on providing consistent, in-home care so pets can remain comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I am fully insured and currently accepting new clients. I typically like to schedule a brief Meet & Greet before confirming a new booking so we can ensure a good fit and review your pet’s routine and needs. As part of my care, I provide light, routine walks at a comfortable pace on flat neighborhood routes to support your dog’s daily routine and overall well-being. I have cared for dogs since childhood and have always had a strong bond with them. At the time, I fed my dogs, bathed them, walked them around the neighborhood, and played with them in my backyard. I always had a special bond with my dogs and was very protective of them. I bring that same protective, loving care to every dog I look after. I provide in-home pet sitting and dog walking services within the city of Fremont, CA. I care for dogs one year of age and older, with a primary focus on in-home care where pets receive plenty of time, attention, and companionship. I specialize in dog care and am not currently accepting cat-only bookings. Basic care for household cats may be included during house sitting visits for an additional fee. Dog walking is provided at a light pace on flat, neighborhood routes and is best suited for dogs who enjoy a relaxed, low-intensity routine. My current availability is primarily weekends, along with limited evening availability depending on schedule. I offer daytime visits, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays within Fremont. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, and care routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort while helping minimize extended periods of time alone. Please send me a message with your dates and pet details, and we can arrange a Meet & Greet. I look forward to caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine so pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed. I make sure food, water, light walks, and potty breaks are handled on schedule, provide playtime and companionship, and always keep the home safe and tidy. In the event of illness or an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your designated veterinary instructions. If needed, I will also contact Rover’s 24/7 Trust & Safety Support for guidance. I ask that all clients provide an emergency contact who is located nearby and able to assist with transport or additional support if required.

About: I’ve been a cat mom for over 8 years, caring for both healthy and sick cats. When my cat got ill, I learned how to safely administer subcutaneous injections and medications at home. I’m calm, gentle, and understand how to earn the trust of shy or senior cats. I always treat pets like family, and I’m happy to provide photo updates while you’re away. I'm also happy to send daily photo and video updates, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. 你好！我是猫奴一枚，养猫超过8年，性格温和细心，擅长照顾胆小、年长或需要特殊护理的猫咪。 Je parle couramment le français. J’ai plus de 8 ans d’expérience avec les chats. N’hésitez pas à me contacter en français !
“Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Tianying is easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our cat needs medicine daily for diabetes, and we came home to a happy cat with good blood sugar level”
“Sara went above and beyond as our cat sitter and completely exceeded our expectations. We had a last-minute need for help after one of our cats developed minor health issues, and she stepped in with just a day’s notice full of enthusiasm and care. What started as a stressful situation quickly turned into peace of mind, knowing our cats were in such good hands. She sent us a bunch of adorable photos and videos each visit that truly became the highlight of our day while we were away. Sara was incredibly communicative, stayed longer than the scheduled 30 minutes to give them extra love, and made sure they felt comforted and cared for. 1000/10. thank you so much, Sara!”
“We were very pleased with the service Jill provided for our kitties while we were away visiting with family for a few days before the holidays. She was nicely quick, professional and responsive when contacting her and providing her service.”
About: I used to live with a roommate with two cats and helped her out with feeding the cats and cleaning their litter boxes whenever she’s out of town. I do prefer a meet and greet ahead of my drop in visits!

“Rose was excellent! Super flexible and took good care of my 7 month old puppy. We did a meet and greet prior to her babysitting and when I brought my puppy back for sitting, he was super excited to see her! It looked like he had a blast from day care & when he came home he was so worn out lol. I’m very happy she was kind to him and kept him stimulated and entertained! Would definitely book again”
About: We’ve had pets all our lives. Currently, we have two cats. For the most part, someone is always WFH. The only day one of us isn’t WFH is Thursday. If we know early enough, we can flex our schedules if any sitting is needed on Thursday. We’ve watched bunnies, cats, and dogs for friends/family including giving medication. We have had no aggression from our pets with the pets we’ve watched. We have a second room(atm being used as an office/guest room), so if you want your pet separate from ours pets, that is something we can accommodate. For dogs during boarding, our household prefers dogs that tend to ignore our cats. Also, we have a preference for senior dogs since they tend to be low energy and do not require long walks to use the restroom. For cats, we have experience with all kinds of energy and ages. If you have a cat with a lot of energy, our Taro girl has shown that she loves playing with all the energetic kitties and helps them come out of their shell. However, both our cats can adapt to senior cats as they both love to lounge. We are willing to negotiate our prices if you believe your pet to be low maintenance or if for example doggy daycare, your pet would be with us for less than 7 hours. Just ask and we can see what we can do during the meet and greet. There is usually always someone at home except Thursday. If you need sitting help on a Thursday, reach out early and we can see about flexing our WFH schedule for that week. One of us is a morning person and the other an evening person in case you have a pet with a weird schedule. We ask for a clear schedule such as when to walk and feed and follow it. This information will always vary depending on the pet or even if they are on medication. For all pets, we’ve given them some space, especially from our pets and seen if they can interact or not depending on what their owners want. We also try to incorporate playtime if they want that.
About: I have 1 year of experience caring for dogs and cats, providing feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring their well-being and affection at all times 🐶🐕 My schedule is flexible, but I follow a calm and simple routine to help your dog feel comfortable. In the morning, we start with a walk and breakfast according to your instructions. During the day, your dog enjoys playtime, rest, and quiet moments in a safe environment. In the afternoon, we go for another walk and follow your feeding schedule. In the evening, I make sure your dog feels relaxed and ready for bedtime, keeping their normal routine while you are away. I live in a clean and safe apartment with a secure balcony where pets can enjoy fresh air under supervision. Inside, your dog will have a calm and cozy environment with plenty of space to rest and play. I make sure doors and windows are secured at all times, and I follow your safety instructions carefully. Your pet will be watched closely, never left unattended, and treated with all the love and attention they deserve.
“Highly recommend Jie for your doggy daycare needs! I could tell Charlie had a great time, and their dog Chow Chow is such a sweetheart. Jie made sure to send updates and put lots of pics in the Rover card. Charlie and I look forward to booking again!”
“Hong watched our dog Lylla for a daycare, and Lylla had an amazing time!! Our dog isn't the most trusting with people but she absolutely loved spending time with Hong. I was also sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated!! We will most definitely be bringing Lylla back to spend time with Hong 💙”
About: I own a single family house with nice fenced yard and we have a friendly golden retriever dog and he’s name is Kevin. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, I would love to take care of you pets as my own. I am housewife so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets during his or her stay. Plenty of play time and walking time. I have a fenced yard and a fur baby to stay company with yours, safe living area and parks trails near our house. Quiet and pretty
“I recently took my dog Charlie to daycare with Isabella, and the experience was fantastic! Isabella was extremely detailed, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease leaving him with her. She asked thoughtful questions during the booking process and gave us a thorough tour of the daycare area, which definitely reassured me. Charlie had a great time and was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I’m definitely going to rebook with Isabella in the future. I highly recommend Isabella and her daycare service.”
“Nicole is awesome! She sent me updates throughout the day which I really appreciated receiving at work. My dog gets nervous around bigger dogs and avoids them but her husky was well behaved which was evident by how comfortable Zoey seemed around her. Nicole walked Zoey wI highly recommend Nicole if you want to know your dog will be well taken care of.”
“I’m so grateful we found Ranjeet and his family to care for our 6-month-old German Shepherd pup. Ranjeet is calm, reassuring, and our pup felt comfortable with him right away. Communication was smooth and prompt, and he was incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend him. Your dog will feel right at home!”

“It was Otto’s first time at Rover, and it was a wonderful experience. Shruti sent photos and videos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease.

About: I’ve never known a life without pets present. I grew up side-by-side with my parents’ first “baby”—a golden retriever puppy born just a few months before me—and my love for animals only grew from there. As a teen, I volunteered at local rescues, fostered animals throughout undergrad, adopted a sweet senior dog of my own, and later welcomed home my first cat: a scrappy little shelter kitten labeled “on clearance.” (Yes, really.) I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels—from zoomies-on-command puppies to nap-loving seniors. I know every animal has their own quirks, and I tailor my care to match what makes your pet feel happiest, safest, and most at ease. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to find someone you trust. That’s why I go out of my way to make the experience feel seamless and stress-free—for both you and your pet. I’ll never treat your booking like a quick task; I genuinely love spending time with animals and want them to feel just as comfortable with me as they do with you. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each visit. Whether your dog needs a patient buddy, a walking partner, or just someone to sit and keep them company—I’ll be there with warmth, reliability, and care you can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely/part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and snuggles they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I’m able to build my day around your pet’s needs to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away for the weekend or at the office. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. I take time to understand each pet’s routines, quirks, and preferences so I can make them feel as secure and stress-free as possible. If I'm sitting in your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, maintaining a familiar environment for your pet. I always double-check gates, leashes, and feeding instructions—because trust is built in the little details. I tend to over-communicate, especially if your pet and I are only just starting to get to know each other, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with not only your family member, but your residence as well! I’m respectful, and follow all care instructions to the T, and will check in as frequently as you’d like me to, so that you know your loved one is in good, trustworthy hands. _______ As a random bonus — for my Chinese clients, I am 100% fluent in Mandarin (國語/普通話). However, I am an ABC, so I would prefer English especially for written communication, but otherwise, I hope my bilingual skills make the process of finding a sitter you trust and are comfortable with even easier.
About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

“Nancy is simply amazing — truly a beautiful soul. While we were away for three weeks, she took exceptional care of our German Shepherd and gave us complete peace of mind. She consistently went above and beyond, and even took the time to help my mother with our elderly dog as well. We feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to have found Nancy. I sincerely appreciate everything she has done for our family and cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.”
About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 10 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live in a 3BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.
About: I have taken care of friend's and dogs of significant others over the past two decades. I have the most experience with small and big dogs. It doesn't seem like my friends have had many medium-sized dogs. From leisurely sniffer walks to 10 mile runs, I cover a wide range of doggie needs. From homebody to outdoor enthusiast, I have expreience in meeting the needs of dogs at various energy levels. I have time to do morning, noon and evening care for both cats and dogs. From walks, runs and play time for dogs to playtime, movie time and cuddles for cats. I am a lover of cooking so no peculiar food preparation needs of your pet is too peculiar. I'm up for a challenge! I currently do not offer boarding in my home but am comfortable to providing care or home stays if needed. I have done live-in care for friends who have dogs and cats and am always respectful of the space. My goal is to provide care as similar as possible to what the owners provide on a normal basis, to help the cat or dog feel the most comfortable while their humans are away.
“We were out of town for a week and had Alex come to walk our 3yr old Labrador daily. Alex did a great job, followed instructions, and provided photos and walking route everyday. We would definitely book again with Alex.”
About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I go to office twice a week so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!
“Shirley is nice, kind, and seems to do well with dogs! She asked questions that made me feel confident to leave Bruce in her hands :) I would recommend Shirley to anyone who needs someone to trust to take care of their fur baby 🐶”
About: Hi fur family! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had the joy of loving dogs from all sizes: from chihuahuas to beagles to labs. I know how important your fur baby is, and since I work with children during the week, I'm full of patience and know how to handle all kinds of personalities with a calm and caring touch. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never be far from the fun. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your pup like my own! I’m currently in college and work with children during the weekdays, but I’ve kept my weekends open so that you can have a fun time out knowing your pup is in good hands! I am patient and calm all while maintaining my pup’s routines, such as regular feeding times and exercise. I am also an early bird so I would have no problem taking your pup out for their first walk of the day!
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”
About: i am the ultimate dog/cat lover and whisperer. i am very patient, bubbly and easily develop a strong bond with any pet. i speak to their souls! ask my best friend, chip! he’ll tell you about all the walks, cuddles and fun play times we share everyday :) Services include: dog drop-ins: leave any instructions and it will be closely followed! plus the complementary love and care that naturally comes w my service! will pick up after myself (and your pet), making sure we keep your home the way you left it. dog walks: OK to walk for long periods and lots of adventure! paws will be wiped clean after walks IF your dog allows it (mine does!) and of course lots of petting! PS. CATS are happily welcomed as well! I only work a part time job and I am not in school, which means I have a lot of time for your fur babies! I play close attention to pets at all times, especially when they are in a new environment. I read their body language just like I would with another person. This helps me better understand their wants or needs.
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner with a high-energy Bernedoodle and two cats at home, ages 9 and 6. Between them, I've gotten comfortable with a wide range of care — from training and long walks to administering daily medication and handling a cat with mobility needs. With dogs, I've cared for both small and large breeds and picked up a lot from my own dog's doggy daycare, where I watched professionals handle dogs with totally different temperaments. I'm a confident handler and treat training and attention as part of every walk, not extras. If your dog is working on leash manners or basic commands, I'm happy to reinforce what you're already doing at home. With cats, I'm experienced with meds (pills and liquids), special diets including raw feeding, and the patience it takes with shy or senior animals. One of my own cats has had medical issues his whole life and the other is a tripod, so gentle handling and careful observation are second nature. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or longer care, I focus on the basics done well and giving your pet real attention rather than rushing through. I have a flexible weekday schedule and can fit pet care in throughout the day — mornings, midday, and evenings all work. The only standing commitment is my yoga schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 5 PM, when I'm not available. Outside of that, I'm easy to book on weekdays and happy to work around your pet's routine. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks at the client's home — I'm not hosting pets at mine, which keeps things simple and means your pet stays in their own environment with their own routine. For drop-in visits, I take care of the basics thoroughly: fresh food and water, clean litter box or potty break, meds on schedule if needed, and real time spent with your pet rather than rushing through. I also handle the small things that make a difference when you're away — locking up properly on the way out, bringing in mail or packages if you'd like, watering plants, and double-checking doors and windows before I leave. For dog walks, I show up on time, use the leash and gear you've set up, and stick to the route and pace that works for your dog. I pay attention to their energy and body language throughout — adjusting if they're tired, anxious, or want a longer sniff break — and I clean up after them every time. If your dog is working on leash manners or commands, I'm happy to reinforce what you're already doing at home rather than undoing your progress. I send photo and video updates every visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — appetite, behavior, a limp, anything — I'll flag it right away and follow your instructions on next steps, including contacting your vet if needed.
“Jessica is the type of person you want to care for your furry friends. She is nice, compassionate and attentive to my dogs needs. Jessica has experience working with senior dogs and is very patient with my 15 year old pup. I am so grateful Rover helped me find her. Book Jessica!”
“Fatima was very responsive and quick with the booking process. She communicated well and was gracious in accepting a last minute request. She arrived on time and didn't have any difficulty managing my big dog. Kristal (my dog) was super happy and pleasantly tired the rest of the day. Thank you Fatima.”
About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs. I am familiar with any health issue that may come up with your dog and will promote their well-being. Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy. I've been a dog owner since I was a young kid and have always loved spending time with the four legged creatures. I will ensure that your pet is loved as if they were my very own pet. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby. I’m mostly available at any time Friday-Sunday, I can set time aside to be fully devoted to your pet. I will ensure they’re as comfortable as they have been when the owner is home. Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.

“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“I am lucky to have Lily taking care of my dog, Apollo for 24 days during my vacation. Lily gave me daily picture update of Apollo. My family was happy to see him even though we were thousand miles away. Lily also played balls with Apollo and playing ball is Apollo's favorite toy. I highly recommend Lily taking care of your dog.”
“Hong was very sweet and attentive. Always got pics and videos of my pup daily as well as making the whole boarding process super easy by doing a meet and greet and constant updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be boarding my pups again soon!”

“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
“Our 7 year old Shepherd mix gets lots of long walks and cuddles when Judi takes care of her. She has some separation anxiety but seems calm and content when we leave her with Judi. Definitely recommend Judi as a dog sitter 😊”
“I had a wonderful experience with Shruti and would absolutely book with her again. Communication was excellent throughout Julie’s stay. Julie had a bout of diarrhea while she was there, and Shruti kept me updated every step of the way, which greatly reduced my stress and gave me confidence that Julie was being well cared for.”
“Dana & her family were wonderful with Bentley, Dana made sure that Bentley felt very comfortable throughout his stay. Bentley enjoyed staying with Dana and her family, he enjoyed playing in the large backyard. Dana sent us pictures of Bentley periodically and kept us well updated, she also advised us when Bentley got fussy eating his dinner, etc she eventually was able to coax him to finish his dinner. We'd love to book with her in the future as well. :)”
About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time
“It was a pleasure having Raya stay with Neo and Ken. The dogs hit it off right away and Ken was so good with updating us for her entire stay. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely do future boarding with him.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, and own a small maltipoodle who loves to go on walk and meet people. I can provide excellent care for all pet breeds of different sizes. I love to spend time with all types of pets, and have been taking care of pets for 4 total years. Your pet will have a great, comfortable, and fun stay with me! I’m currently a sitter on Rover and would manage the care of pets throughout the day. I also regularly go to local libraries and I am able to tend to the care of pets when necessary. I would be able care for pets overnight as well as take them on walks as it fits into the routine of caring for personal pets. I am able to care for pets utilizing the experience that I have cultivated with my own dog. I regularly walk and feed a miniature dog and can supervise another pet and take them on bathroom breaks. Throughout the day, I can care for another pet within the house and also allow them to stay within the backyard. I could send updates and fulfill requests of owners to provide fresh water, treats, or preparing meals.

“Pratima was amazing with Chester! She accommodated us on short notice, was prompt with all her responses, provided us with plenty of pictures and even flexible when we wanted to extend Chester's stay. I can tell Chester had a great time with Pratima and her whole family, Chester even went back to hug her as we were picking him up! We will absolutely be bringing Chester back again!!”

“We boarded our two dogs (one of which is deaf) for an extended weekend at Caddie's. Caddie sent regular videos and photos of the dogs from the moment we dropped them off to the time of pickup. Caddie maintained communication the whole time, asking questions about our deaf dog's command language and other care needs. She also provided updates about their food intake. Caddie and her family not only played and walked our dogs daily, they also cleaned and groomed them often. Our dogs were definitely pampered during their stay. Caddie's home is like a second home. We will certainly consider Caddie for our future dog boarding needs.”
“Matthew has shown so much care for both our cute Lilo and ourselves. He took the time and effort to bond with Lilo, along with his lovely daughter, and left Lilo and us with the clear feeling that Lilo is in the best possible hands. Thank you Matthew!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience working in the Critical Care Unit (CCU) at one of the Bay Area's top specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals. Every day, I manage medically complex patients, administer advanced treatments, and monitor critical conditions in a high-acuity environment. This is my professional foundation — not just a hobby. What sets me apart: I bring veterinary-level skill into a calm, home environment. I specialize in senior and hospice pets, pets with medical needs, and anxious pets who don't thrive in traditional boarding. I can confidently administer oral medications, injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, and inhaled medications — all following your veterinarian's prescribed care plan using medications you provide. My home is intentionally quiet and controlled — no overcrowding, no chaos. I take very limited pets at a time so every animal gets individualized, attentive care. I notice the subtle things: changes in breathing, appetite shifts, stress signals, and comfort levels. If your pet needs more than just someone to fill a bowl and open a door — I'm your person. Pet care isn't a side gig for me — it's an extension of what I already do professionally. My life revolves around animal care — both professionally and at home. I intentionally structure my schedule so that every pet in my care gets consistent routines, timely medications, regular potty breaks, and attentive monitoring throughout the day and night. I don't overbook. Your pet is never an afterthought — they're my priority. In my home: My home is intentionally set up to be calm, quiet, and controlled. I take very limited pets at a time — no overcrowding, no chaotic energy. Your pet gets consistent daily routines (feeding, potty breaks, rest, and activity), attentive monitoring throughout the day and night, and safe, supervised backyard access. I maintain a predictable environment so your pet can settle in and feel secure — not overwhelmed. In your home: When I care for pets in the client's home, I follow your pet's existing routines as closely as possible. I keep everything familiar — same feeding schedule, same potty routine, same sleeping spots. I provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For medical visits, I arrive on time, administer medications or treatments per your veterinarian's instructions, and make sure your pet is comfortable before I leave. For all pets in my care: I monitor for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and comfort. I administer medications (oral, injectable, inhaled) and subcutaneous fluids as prescribed by your vet. I never rush. I never overbook. Every pet gets my full attention and genuine care.
