“I cannot recommend Selena highly enough! Leaving my dog with her was the best decision I made. She is a wonderful, experienced woman who treats every dog as if they are part of her own family. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. She provided constant, loving attention and even sent me pictures while I was away. It is so rare to find someone with such genuine passion, patience, and compassion for animals. If you want peace of mind, this is the place”
“Jie (and her family) took wonderful care of our dog Oolong, walking him every day and sending us plenty of pictures! He was clearly well taken care of and loved and we will definitely be coming back!”
“Emily cared my cat with passion and love during the boarding time. Ended up my cat is too happy with her didn't wanted go home with me. My cat's behavior said thousands words about Emily profession service. Definitely deserved More than 5 starts rating. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Nina and Tony took excellent care of our 5 year old golden doodle, Yogi. They are so communicative, sent frequent updates. Yogi looked very well cared for and happy when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Nina and Tony!!”
“Ashita took care of our Maltipoo Ollie for 10 days while we were traveling in Australia, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly responsive the entire time and kept us updated constantly with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind being halfway across the world. Ollie clearly had a great time with her — he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. We'd absolutely book Akita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative sitter!”
“Shreeja and her husband were amazing and super sweet. My dog Tubs felt so comfortable with them and I was thankful that they were ok with him cuddling in bed with them because my boy is a little cuddle bug. They would send me multiple pictures and videos of Tubs throughout the day which made me feel less anxious about being away from him. I definitely recommend them as sitters.”
“Siqin will always be our go-to sitter. Literally a blessing — I would recommend anyone and everyone to book with her!! Our kitty really loves being with her and her husband. It’s like her second home at this point. Love love love!”
“More than a professional, Yuka has been an amazing pet lover, and very affectionate. Thank you for letting us have a peaceful vacation and not having to worry about our dog sim ba. Your frequent updates helped a lot !!!”
“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.”
“Michelle was great with Penny. She kept me posted throughout the weekend with several photos and updates with how Penny was doing. Penny was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks Michelle and family for taking great care of my baby!”
“As a first time user of Rover I wasn’t familiar with the process and my senior dog is also new to pet sitting with someone other than family members. I truly appreciate the fact that Queenie was patient with both of us! She asked a lot of questions about my fur baby’s routine and preferences and sent updates and photos. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”
“Thank you for a stress-free stay again! Nancy sends us photos and lets us know how our pup settles in the first few days and then periodically throughout the stay (this last stay was 2 weeks). Updates and excellent communication! Our pup loves going to their house and runs up the stairs and comes home happy and tired.”
“We just picked up our 10 years old border collie Lucky after a 6 day 5 nights stay. It is a pity the highest rating is only 5 stars, to Lucky, Juanyi's service is 10 stars. My border collie does not like strangers in the beginning, but he allows Juanyi pet him in just a few hours. I could see from many pictures and videoes that my boy enjoys the friendship from Kaka, Panda and other lovely guests, also enjoys the love from Juanyi. I feel my boy is having a great vacation of his own too. I always hesitate to sign up family vacation because find a reliable dog sitter is often a difficult task, the last 3 dog sitter we used were moved or no longer offer service. I am glad we found Juanyi and the experience is so great. I read every review when i look for any kind of service, and by the time we book the service, there was only one review, to be honest i was a bit uncertain. During the met and greet, we walked around the neighborhood together, I was so glad Lucky quickly developped friendship with Kaka and Panda, and the drop off session was also great, which allow me to join the family vacation. We will definitely book with Juanyi again for our future vacations, and recommend to every pet parents, my Lucky was treated like Juanyi's own, yours will too!❤️”
“Diana took care of my 5mo for five days on his first time away from home. She was responsive and communicative throughout the week, sending daily photos and videos of their walks. Raphael was well cared for: fed on schedule, walked regularly, and returned home healthy. He’s going through a fear period and Diana was patient and adapted well to his needs, which I really appreciated. She was warm and caring with him. For future bookings I’d suggest more indoor photos so owners can see how their dog is settling at home, not just during walks. Overall I felt at peace leaving Raphael with her, she’s a reliable sitter who kept my puppy safe and I would recommend her professional expertise to other dog parents! Gracias Diana!”
“We were incredibly impressed with our dog's stay with Jaynee. Leaving our furry friend for two weeks can be stressful, but the frequent updates with photos and videos put our minds at ease. We could see how much fun Pixel was having, and he clearly received lots of love and attention. We came back to a happy and relaxed dog, which is the best testimonial we could ask for! Thank you, Jaynee, for taking such wonderful care of our beloved pet.”
“Jack and Angel are amazing! They are parents themselves to 3 cute doggos and they provide full access to their large home with a big backyard (complete with a dog door). They are thoughtful and attentive and very responsive. Our pup had a wonderful time staying in their home. Highly recommend!”

“Johnason was great with watching our cats! We have a shy cat that quickly warmed up to him. He was very communicative and thorough. Would definitely rebook!”
“Adrianna! Thank you so much for your help with the kitties. You went above and beyond. I can’t thank you enough for your flexibility and help! You’re the best!”
“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”
About: My parents own a small Siberian breeding company (shout out to Aya Ranch Siberians!) so I’ve taken care of cats of all ages. I also owned my own cat (see memorials) who had four extra years after being diagnosed with kidney disease due to my care. She was regularly given medication in foods as well as IV fluids so I have experience there as well.
“Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!”
“Ken took very good care of our cat while we were out on vacation. He dropped in regularly, followed care instructions and took care of our cat's basic necessities - food, water, litter, play etc. Kitty got super friendly with him in no time. Ken's awesome and I'd reach out to him again.”
About: I have 5 years of hands-on pet care experience, focused entirely on cats. I’m confident caring for all personalities, including shy or anxious cats, and I prioritize keeping routines calm and consistent. I also helped save my own cat’s life during an FIP journey, which gave me real experience with close monitoring and structured care. Because of that, I’m comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, and injections (following your vet’s instructions). I’m especially attentive with cats who need extra support, and I’ll always share clear updates and photos so you feel at ease. Reliable, detail-oriented, and truly cat-focused—that’s the kind of care I provide every visit. I'm available on weekdays after work for drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and medication as needed. On weekends, I’m totally free and can be flexible with visit times or longer stays. I care for pets with a safety-first, routine-based approach. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, litter/cleanup, playtime, and any medications, and I keep the environment calm and low-stress (especially for shy or senior cats). I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep floors clear of hazards, and never leave unsafe items within reach (string toys, plastics, human food, etc.). I also do quick check-ins on appetite, water intake, energy, and litter box habits so I can flag changes early. You’ll get regular updates and photos, and I’m always careful to respect your space and keep everything clean and tidy.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and gentle pet sitter with a special love for cats. I understand feline behavior, boundaries, and routines, and I’m comfortable caring for shy or independent cats as well as playful ones. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”
“Raheela was very caring, communicative, and friendly. She took great care of my kitten for a few days in her home. She sent daily videos and messages during the stay, which was very appreciated. Thank you, Raheela!”
“Megan is always great with our two cats! She is patient with our finicky senior cat and takes time to play and cuddle our younger cat who requires a bit more attention while we’re away. Five stars always!”
“Zhengjun took excellent care of our cats! Our feline babies were well fed and played with, and we got a lot of pictures and videos from Zhengjun. We would love to have Zhengjun take care of our cats again!”
“Frank took excellent care of the cats. Shared detailed updates and photos after every visit and was quick to respond to any queries. He also took the initiative to reach out with questions to ensure that they got the best possible care. Thanks to him I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about the cats.”
“We have Lauren taking care of our cats while we are on vacation. She is checking in on them every other day, filling up the food bowl, changing water, giving treats and some love and makes sure the cats are ok! Lauren provides us with pictures and little notes about the visits. So we can relax and know that they are well taken care of! I can definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!”

“After adopting our little Shit Tzu from the shelter 3 1/2 months ago, this is the first time we've had her with anyone else. This was an all-day booking and we were very pleased with the good care Yuhong took of our little dog. The first great thing is that Minnie likes her and they got along very well. She seemed comfortable at her home which gave us peace of mind, knowing she was happy and in attentive and kind hands. We highly recommend Yuhong for sitting your dog. She is versatile for cats as well, but we also appreciate that she only sits one pet at a time. We feel that gives your furry family member excellent one-on-one attention. Yuhong was receptive to our suggestions for helping to make this a positive first-time experience. She implemented our requests, was patient and kind. What more can one ask for?”
About: Hi! I grew up with a sweet Golden Retriever, and while I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve been lucky to host and care for many different breeds and personalities over the years. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel right at home. Because I’m not currently working, I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to your furry friend. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pup gets the care they deserve. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in good hands, so I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own — with patience, safety, and affection every step of the way. Looking forward to welcoming your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring they’re well cared for and never lonely. Weekdays and weekends works. We have an independent house and a small patio that is walled. We also have a gated dog park in our community that is private to only residents. We have ring cameras outside the house and also doggy cam inside the house to always a watch on the pet we host and take care.
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.
“Jeeva had a great time in Tuan’s place. Tuan let us visit his backyard and made sure we are okay with Jeeva playing with his dog and another pup. He took Jeeva out on walks and to park and sent us pics and videos through the day. We felt happy and safe leaving our pup with him and will def come back another day.”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 9. My family and friends always entrust me with their furry family member knowing I will provide the best care in need for them. I take pets on walks, feed and bathe them and have handled with aggressive and hard to deal with dogs. I offer my services throughout the Bay Area, from San Francisco to Milpitas. I'm currently working part time and would love to care and spend time with your furry friends because I love animals and it's what makes me happy. I am free for boarding weekdays and weekends. Drop ins and walks are also mainly weekdays and some weekends. I live in a 2 story house with access to a backyard and 2 private dog friendly parks in a gated community. Your pet would sleep in my room with me next to my bed and have room to roam around upstairs and downstairs.
“I had an absolutely amazing experience with Gunyung! She took care of my dog, Cookie, for 3 days (Monday to Wednesday) while I was on a business trip. Cookie loved going to Gunyung's house so much that he would literally bring me his harness in the morning! Every evening when he came back, he was happily exhausted from playing so much. Gunyung was also very communicative, replying to my messages quickly and sending plenty of great photos throughout the day. I felt completely at ease leaving Cookie with her. I will definitely book with Gunyung again next time I need help!”
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds for family and friends and I am comfortable with dogs and manage them well , flexible routine I work from home and go on walks early morning and evenings and there is a beautiful park near my house to take the dog for walks. I have a house near the hills with fenced yard. I only take one pet family at a time so your dog will feel safe, loved, and cared for like my own.I also love sending lots of updates and pics throughout the day so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I have a fenced yard and no little kids or pets so have good amount of time to take care of pets at my home
“Steve and his partner (fiancée!) are wonderful pet-sitters, super friendly to work with, and highly communicative. They happily accommodated a last-minute stay for Brady as a new client, which was so appreciated. When I picked up Brady, she was happy, not stressed, and clean :) We will definitely be back—thanks so much!”
About: I owned and took care pets through out my life. I love animals and treat them like my friends. I will take care your pets the same way I would treat them as my own. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 3pm. I have no pets and small children in my house. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play in. I can also walk your dog around my nice neighborhood as needed.
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'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.
About: We work from home on alternating days, so there’s always an adult at home caring for our own pup—and yours too! Your furry companion will get plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. I stick to routines, keep things fun and stress-free, and always share updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. We work from home on alternating days, so there’s always someone available to give attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. I have a 6 yr old very mellow female lab and, I make sure to stick to each pet’s schedule for meals, potty breaks, and exercise, and I also spend time providing affection and enrichment to keep them happy and comfortable. On weekends or busier days, I adjust my routine to ensure consistent care and attention, so pets always feel safe, loved, and well looked after. We live in a three-story townhome, and your furry friend is welcome to roam freely throughout the house—no crating required. We have a patio where they can sit and sun bask, and we take our pup outside for bathroom breaks in a safe area by the garage, and follow the same routine with visiting pups. We go for 2–3 walks a day, ranging from 25–50 minutes, exploring different routes near the house to keep things fun and engaging. Our home is safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times, so pets can relax, play, and feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I only board one dog at a time so your dog will get undivided love and attention. From being terrified as a child to now falling in love with every dog - it’s been a journey. I am big on recognizing that dogs are complex beings and have complex needs. With that in mind, I think of them as more than cuddle buddies. While I’ll never say no to dog love, I also understand that they need space and room to just be. I’ve dog sat in my neighborhood and I prioritize their meals, walks, and need for activity and interaction. I have also fostered dogs and understand that dogs come from a variety of different past experiences and require environments that fit their needs - I am very flexible in accommodating that. I currently work from home so there is plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I like to understand the pet's routine and do my best to minimize disruptions - that means helping them adhere to their walk, food, and rest times. I love playing with dogs so I prioritize that time. My home is well maintained and clean, pets will have full access to the large open concept living room & kitchen - this is where I spend majority of my waking hours as well. No other pets and no kids in the house so your dog will have a lot of quiet, peaceful time. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with lots of green spaces. Lots of opportunities to go on nice walks and socialize with other dogs. I think of dog walks as "their time" so they get ample time to explore and sniff.
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.

“Adrianna is awesome!! She was able to walk my 2 year old German Shepard while I was at work. She is very flexible and isn’t afraid of working with big dogs. I really appreciated that. She also sent me pictures and gave me a summary after each walk. Will definitely book again! Thank you again Adrianna, from Mia and I. ?”
About: Since I was young, I have always loved dogs and cats. My Dad always referred to our house as Noah’s Ark because we always had so many animals. I received this love for animals from my mother. She had a gift for raising animals for very long periods of time and loved them like they were her children. She called them her fur babies and I have since followed in her foot steps. I love dogs that play fetch and cats, along with their attitude and personality. We spend time walking, playing with and laying around with our family dogs - we have three! Fury is our Chihuahua who loves to sleep all day and cuddle. Bo, our Rottie mix who enjoys walks and playing with other dogs. And our playful pup Gus, who loves to eat! Our sons also love dogs and enjoy having guest dogs around! We love animals and will treat yours as we do ours, as part of the family. My wife works from home and has time to care for and play with your fur babies! She will feed them, take them for walks and gives your dog(s) free reign of the house and yard. I have a locked and fenced atrium and backyard … and three wonderful dogs to keep them company! When it’s warm, the back slider is left open for the dogs to freely go in and out as they please. There is plenty of room for them to run around out back, front and side. They sleep whenever they’re most comfortable and can hang out on the couch or wherever they chose. As mentioned earlier, they very quickly become a part of our extended family! Since I work from home, I have time to care for, and play with your pets! We can follow the same routine they have at home. We have a fenced atrium and backyard as well as three active dogs to keep your fur babies busy! They have free reign of the home and can play or rest where they’re most comfortable!
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs through both pet ownership and pet sitting for family and friends. As a proud dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure each pet receives the attention and affection they deserve. As a medical student, spending time at home for the summer, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to ensuring your pet feels happy and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently home for the summer in the bay area after finishing my first year of medical school in Southern California. I'm available throughout the summer and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or extra playtime while you're away, I'm happy to help. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, engaging them in playtime and enrichment activities, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor their behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel cared for and stress-free.
“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: Kiki brings me so much companionship and warmth. Every time I come home from work, the way it wags its tail and runs over is really healing. Keeping a dog can change the pace of your life, but at the same time, it also adds a lot of joy to it. Teddy is a curly haired dog, and not shedding hair is an advantage, but it also means that he needs to take care of his hair regularly! Natural low salt dog food, occasionally I add some chicken breast, egg yolk or carrots to it. I am very careful not to let him come into contact with the following "blacklist foods": chocolate, grapes, onions, milk, etc., which are harmful to dogs! Throwing and catching the ball: the simplest and most effective way, I always have a great time playing Doudou Hide and Seek: I will hide in my room and wait for it to come looking for me. If it finds me, it will wag its tail fiercely Finding Snacks: Hide small snacks in the crevices of the sofa or under the cushion, let it use its nose to find them, exercise its sense of smell and avoid boredom Perform tasks such as feeding, walking, and scooping feces according to the owner's requirements Avoid making pets feel unfamiliar or anxious, and maintain a daily rhythm of life Do not touch household items at will to ensure customer privacy and safety Daily job responsibilities may include: Change water and feed (dry/wet/homemade food) Cleaning cat litter/dog poop Simple companionship interaction (caressing, toys, cat teaser sticks, etc.)

Guaranteed to take cute pet photos! I am a full time program manager in the tech industry with very flexible hours. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate walks or drop ins. My service area is wide due to a long commute, so I’m able to cover most clients in the East Bay! I think animals thrive more while remaining in their own environment, so I prefer drop in visits or house sitting over stays in my home. I’ve done up to a 2 week stay with a pet while their owner was abroad. I do have the space for smaller animals within my condo for animals who don’t mind being uprooted!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for the past two years now, it is so much fun! I have fed and taken care of many animals (mainly dogs and cats), taken dogs on walks, gave a puppy her prescribed medication, and have even stayed overnight to pet sit. I’m currently working part time at a yoga studio as well as nanny for a four year old, so I have a very flexible schedule for pet sitting! I will always keep an eye on your pet(s), to ensure their safety, as well as keeping clear communication between myself and the pet owners.
About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.
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.
“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”
About: I love dogs and I’ve been around all sorts of dogs since I was little. I’m always looking forward to meet new furry friends and always happy to lend a hand in helping care for them too! I’m currently a student at UCI and working part-time so I heavily recommend booking ahead of time. Yet, don’t let that dissuade you, I will spend the time I can to ensure your pup gets the best attention and all the care they need! I take care very seriously whether it be overnight or even for an hour or two. I’m very respectful any homes that I’m welcomed in and make sure to handle everything with care.
“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 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.
“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!”
“Megan is great, she walked my American pitbull terrier and during their walks she updated me with pictures and info on their walks. I one hundred percent recommend Megan! Thank you Megan.”
About: I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs for my friends and family. I have a Persian cat and I have been living with him for 3 years. I am currently doing it for part-time. My time is relatively flexible. I will be available in weekdays more. Sometimes weekend works too with earlier appointments. I love playing and talking with them like a friend. Sometimes they would ask for pat or hug and my cat does, but I would be more careful with my friends’ pets. I love giving them treats when playing. But my cat doesn’t like treats haha.
“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”

“Ashita took care of our Maltipoo Ollie for 10 days while we were traveling in Australia, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly responsive the entire time and kept us updated constantly with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind being halfway across the world. Ollie clearly had a great time with her — he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. We'd absolutely book Akita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative sitter!”

“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.”
“Michelle was great with Penny. She kept me posted throughout the weekend with several photos and updates with how Penny was doing. Penny was happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thanks Michelle and family for taking great care of my baby!”
“Thank you Stephania. The service and care for my dog was very professional and attentive to his special needs. Thank you also for being flexible with itinerary drop-off and pick-up times. The photos of my dog while away warmed my heart. Thank you for your care and compassion. - M.”
“We left our 6 months old golden retriever with Elise for two weeks, we were happy with Elise’s care for our baby dog! Elise kept us updated on daily basis with many pictures and videos. It was very nice to see our dog made some good friends. I appreciate Elise’s prompt responses when I had questions or just checked in. Elise really put us at ease when we were on our vacation. She trimmed our dog’s nails during the stay without me asking. Our baby came home happy! We absolutely will use Elise’s care again and recommend her to our friends!”
“Ly was very prompt and communication with her was a breeze. Her updates were very realistic and entertaining and always helped to cheer us up whenever we would miss our pup. She took excellent care of the pup and he returned home a happy boy, probably missing his new girlfriend he made at Ly's! Will book again!”
“I can't recommend them enough. If I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would :) This was the very first time my dog was in the care of anyone but my family and they took care of her very well. They also kept me in the loop and sent lots of pictures which was greatly appreciated. Thank you so much guys!”
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.
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“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!”
About: Here's a warmer, more personal version: Hi! I'm so glad you stopped by my profile. 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the kid who gravitated toward every animal in the room — I spent my childhood caring for pets and fell in love with everything that comes with it: the morning walks, the cuddles, the little quirks that make each animal so unique. That love has never left me, and honestly, it just keeps growing. Over the years I've learned a thing or two beyond the basics. I love making homemade food for the pups in my care — real, wholesome ingredients that I'd feel good about eating myself, because I think our dogs deserve nothing less. I also do ear cleanings, so if your dog needs that little bit of extra attention, you're in the right place. What I really want you to know is that when you drop your dog off with me, they're not just a booking — they become part of my day, my routine, and honestly, my heart. I will text you updates, send you photos, and make sure you never have to wonder if your baby is okay. Because I know how hard it is to leave them, and I want you to feel completely at ease. I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐶 We always have humans at home, so rest assure that your pup always has company and never alone. We have multiple backyard and sun bathing sessions during the day, and at least 1-2 walks to the park nearby daily. Hi there! We're so excited you're considering us for your pup's home away from home. Here's what makes our place truly special: 🏡 Room to Roam — Our large backyard gives dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, and soak up the sun all day long. 👨👩👧 Never Alone — We have humans at home here all day, every day. Your dog will always have a human by their side — no lonely hours, extremely flexible drop off/pickup time. 🛏️ Special Care Suites — Dogs with medical needs, anxiety, or any special requirements get their own dedicated space where they feel safe, calm, and comfortable. We take individualized care seriously. 🍖 Homemade Human-Grade Treats — We love spoiling our guests with wholesome, homemade treats made from real, human-grade ingredients. No mystery kibble here! 🌳 Park Adventures— We're convinently a short walk away from the park, making daily walks fun and engaging.

Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. We work from home on alternating days, so there’s always someone available to give attention, playtime, walks, and supervision.

We live in a three-story townhome, and your furry friend is welcome to roam freely throughout the house—no crating required. We have a patio where they can sit and sun bask, and we take our pup outside for bathroom breaks in a safe area by the garage, and follow the same routine with visiting pups. We go for 2–3 walks a day, ranging from 25–50 minutes, exploring different routes near the house to keep things fun and engaging. Our home is safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times, so pets can relax, play, and feel at ease while you’re away.

I prioritize reliability and will make sure your cat is cared for on time every visit, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended care. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling cats gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your cat allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit. Your cat’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“Dana was a great sitter and gave me peace of mind during the doggy day care visit! She sent over photo updates regularly. Additionally, she listened intently to my instructions for my two dogs and took great care of them. They came home happy, and tired from a great day at Dana’s. Also a bonus she has a nice grassy yard for my dogs to freely roam in!”
“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.”
