“Sylvia and her family are all we hoped they would be. Attentive, reliable, caring, thoughtful, well-organized and responsive. Not only did they take wonderful care of our dog while we were away, they sent pictures daily and maintained a schedule I knew would keep our dog well. I could let go completely, knowing our put was in great hands AND having wonderful time. We will be back.”
“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“Sara was extremely communicative from the beginning. We felt heard and understood and immediately wanted to book her for her experience with foster and rescue dogs. She has a calming personality and we felt confident that she can handle our doggo, who has moderate separation anxiety. She sent us daily updates, sometimes hilarious, that kept us feeling good about our decision to have her watch over our dog for two weeks. Our dog's quirks and behaviors didn't seem to bother her even as much as we pressed for more details and "are you sure?!" texts. We are extremely grateful for the positive reassurance she gave us (it made our travel plans less stressful) and would absolutely book her again!”
“Lori was wonderful - responsive, easy communication throughout the booking process and stay. She has extensive experience taking care of dogs and having Hank there as a doggy companion was a great bonus. She also sent us a bunch of photos of Ollie, which we really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again!”
“I honestly could not recommend Taylor more. He was brilliant with our puppy. She had a brilliant time with him. We were away for 2 weeks and Taylor sent pictures daily which put us at ease. Our flights got last minute changes and he was so accommodating around drop off and collection. Definitely going to book Taylor again.”
“Elena and Holly were excellent sitters for my chihuahua mix Toaster. They were very communicative, responsible and Toaster was happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I will definitely use them again!”
“Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!”
“Kelly Ann was great with our dog Digby. She went above and beyond to give him great care and love. He's an older diabetic dog and she gave him 2 insulin shots a day and made sure he had plenty of water to drink. She took him on walks and gave him a lot of cuddles. I'd highly recommend Kelly Ann.”
“Yang was really great - she was very responsive and professional, took great care of our dog, and shared lots of updates to ease our anxiety (it was our first time leaving town without our puppy). I would highly recommend her!”
“My pup had a great overnight stay at Julie's! Pick up and drop off was very smooth and she was a great communicator/quick responses. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Alexandra was great to work with. Easy to communicate with and our dogs seemed really happy with her both at drop-off and pick-up. Overall this was a great experience!”
“Jesse was absolutely great with Suge! Whenever I reached out, he responded quickly and sent a picture/video too! It was so nice. Pick up and drop off went smoothly as well. Will definitely be booking with Jesse if need be in the future!”
“Alex was fantastic! Super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Hubert while I was on vacation. She sent photo updates every day and was a breeze to coordinate with. I would use her again and would highly recommend her if you’re looking for dog boarding.”
“Our (generally anxious) pup had a great time at Yvette’s! She has a good set up for dogs to have their own space and took him out for walks and playtime. We look forward to working with Yvette again!”
“Although I contacted Lovell & Lucas J. at almost the last minute (I ran into scheduling problems with the sitter I had set up), I was able to meet Lucas for a meet and greet right away. We set up the dates and everything went super smoothly. Lucas has a dog of his own. He clearly loves dogs, making mine feel very comfortable from the start. I had to go away for a wedding. Lucas kept me informed with messages and photos the whole time he had my pooch. His dog and mine slept on the same bed/couch. She was the perfect hostess. Lucas has a lovely yard and house - very accommodating! This was our first time with Lovell and Lucas J. I know we'll be back!”
“Cesar and Hoa are wonderful dog sitters who provide a calm and nurturing environment for the dogs. I never worry about "our baby" when she is with them. When we drop Penny off, she is eager to say hello, and gets to practice her canine social skills. Cesar and Hoa are flexible and have accommodated my last minute changes. I highly recommend them.”
“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”

“Sabrina was a great caretaker for drop-in visits for our little Yuzu (cat). She came prepared for our pre-visits meetup, taking notes and asking questions we didn’t even think about. She also did an excellent job of providing updates and photos to us via the app. We will definitely be booking Sabrina again!”
“Audrey was recommended by a friend. She was great. Easy to communicate with. I got pictures of my cats cuddling with her during the visits. She even helped with putting an unexpected grocery delivery in the fridge. Five stars!!”
“Kirsta was a great sitter for our two young cats while we were away! She was very friendly, asked great questions, and was extremely flexible when KT came to timing and needs. Would highly recommend Kirsta for your cat sitting needs!”
“Alacia is the best! Our cat Nova seems to have officially accepted her into the family. We couldn’t be luckier to have her stopping by to look after the little one. Thank you again for everything!”
“Devon was so great with my cat Peanut and helped me out when my other sitter had to cancel last minute! She was very prompt with her responses, came on time to feed Peanut, and sent the cutest updates and photos! Felt super comfortable leaving Peanut in her care and would definitely recommend her services! Thank you!!”
“Cecilia checked in on our cats for a week while we were gone and kept us updated on every visit, how the cats were doing, as well as pictures of them. Everything was great when we returned to happy cats!”
“Lydia is amazing. Not only did she know how to gain my kitty’s trust and keep her happy and occupied, she also administered daily medication. Lydia is also a great communicator, flexible with her time and clearly devoted to my pet. I couldn’t have left her in better care and will definitely be booking her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and even horses. Growing up in a home where animals were part of everyday life (my dad worked in horse racing!), caring for pets has always come naturally. Though I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve been a dedicated dog dad for over 20 years, always having two dogs by my side. I walk my own pups every day and make all of their food from scratch—yes, they’re very loved (and very spoiled!). I’ve also regularly pet sat for friends and family and am confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I used to have a Great Dane/St. Bernard mix, so handling large or giant breeds is second nature to me. Whether you’ve got a gentle giant or a feisty little pup, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and lots of behind-the-ear scritchins! Let me help your dog get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to customize walks to your dog’s needs and energy level. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule varies a bit from day to day, but it’s consistent from week to week. I work some mornings and some evenings, but those shifts rarely change, so when you and your pup love me, it will be easy enough to work out a schedule that works for everyone! I am always off on Fridays and Sundays. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I am always happy drop in to your place for play or potty breaks. Also, as my pups are cared for when I’m not around, I am also available to stay at your home for short trips!
“Devon was very caring and earned mt trust right away. She was amazing at communicating and spending time with our cat. She took the time to get to know him and to clean up as well. She sent lots of great photos and kept us informed of what was going on while we were away. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“This is the second time Anjali has watched my two cats, and I couldn’t be happier! Even my shy cat, who usually hides from everyone, came out to spend time with her, which says a lot. She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. I always come home to happy cats and a tidy space, which I really appreciate. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Trisha cared for our elderly (but spunky!) cat while we were traveling. She was communicative, caring, and super friendly. Perfect mix of following instructions and taking initiative where needed. I’m so grateful that we found someone to care for Kitty when we’re away! Will definitely book Trisha again, and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Laura diligently took care of our cats, adhering to their feeding schedule and also spending an abundant amount of time playing with them & giving them attention. Very communicative also. Thanks so much!”
“Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her”

“We just moved to the area and are thrilled to meet Halee! We did a quick meet and greet and then sent our dog for the day. I was particularly appreciative that when our timing changed, Halee went above and beyond to be flexible with us. She took our dog on really long walks, and he came home so happy! She even gave me some helpful tips, when asked, of how to train and support our dog. We liked her so much. We are already doing an overnight with her later this week. She loves dogs and was willing to price her services competitively which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her!”
“I booked Shanice on very short notice so there was no chance for a meet and greet with my puppy Nico. I took a chance on her based her previous reviews. Nico was at her doggy daycare for 2 days. She is super sweet and friendly. Most of all she adored my puppy. He had a good time with her and her fur baby. She sent me updates on Nico with pictures of his day. Nico was happy when he was dropped off and happy when I picked him up. That is always a good sign. I will definitely book Shanice again!”
“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”
“Elena was so sweet, caring, and very accommodating for a last minute booking. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and he had a great time on his little hike. So happy to have found a new sitter in the area 🙂”
“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
About: I'm a communications professional for 30 years now, so it comes natural for me to share with pet owners every milestone of any day they're apart from their pets and trusting me with their care. For 20 years, I've cared for my friend's dogs, cats, and chickens in the Bay Area just for the fun of it. Now I'd like to open my experience and hope it will lead to more travel when I retire in a few year. Also, I have a veterinarian friend on speed dial. I've never had to call in an emergency. But I could! I work from home most days. I write, so I sit at my desk and I don't move much. I love having a cat on the desk or a well-exercised dog in their bed waiting for my next move. I go downtown twice a week, but I have a retired neighbor who volunteers at Animal Control and the SF Zoo who is nuts about dog-walking to fill-in for noontime walks. I like to treat all pets like they're my own, with a little extra in an auntie kind of way. I am an expert Kong-stuffer and a tug of war extremist, with a nice car that I don't mind getting hairy or muddy. Poo and litter are not things I shy away from. I love the smell of pet feet.
“My Golden, Ellie had the best day hanging with Shelby, Travis and Teddy! They were so sweet to give her so much love and attention! And I loved all the updates and pics. Can’t wait for Ellie to see them again soon!”
“Matt has been so wonderful with our miniature dachshund Winston! He’s having some separation anxiety and finding Matt has been a god send! Winston comes home totally happy and is clearly getting lots of love while they hang! Matt is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”
“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”
“Saige has been amazing with Kuma both times that we booked with her! She is attentive and communicates well, and very flexible as well! We love booking with Saige and know that our dog is in good hands with her!”
“Penny is always so happy when arrives at Susannah’s! It’s a great sign when she starts squealing with excitement when we pull onto their street! Susannah and Richard are great and we look forward to continue having them watch Penny!”
“Kira was our first Rover experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, we received the sweetest updates throughout Sopita’s stay, and we had total peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for. It was clear Sopita felt comfortable, happy, and loved while she was there. She can’t wait to come back!”
“Love Jei! This was my first time leaving Komi in someone elses’ care so I was really worried. She was very thorough writing his report card and took a bunch of photos. She even took Komi to the Golden Gate park which was such a treat. Komi is a happy and tired puppy hehe. I will be sleeping good tonight.”
“Jeanette and family have taken care of Emily several times now and she always comes back calm and happy. Given her sort of one-person personality, I knew that Emily would need several day-care visits to get accustomed to Jeanette and her household before moving on to the next step of an overnight. With Jeanette's loving care and help I think Emily is ready for her next "big step" of overnighting! My dog is not one who makes instant friends (dog or human) usually, so this is an ongoing process and it is going well so far!”

“Samuel was incredibly easy to communicate with and was able to help with a very last minute request to watch our dog Steve! He took very good care of him, sent lots of photos and went over and above to make sure that he got the exercise and attention that he needed! Thank you Samuel!”
“Rachel is very conscientious and you can see she really cares about the wellbeing of my dogs. She is comfortable handling my slightly reactive but otherwise docile pack. I would get her again.”
“Carter was great with my dog Nellie! She’s a senior dog with varying levels of energy depending on the day. I really appreciated that Carter took the time to do a meet and greet with us beforehand, he asked questions and listened and I felt really good about the walk we booked. When he came for the walk, he followed all my instructions and adapted to Nellie‘s needs for that day, making sure to have a little play time with her as well. He followed up with a thorough update. And I’ve already booked him for another walk!”
“Krista put us at total ease with our puppy. With both of us working away from home, Krista was able to take Nala for walks and give her some TLC while we were out. She was available on short notice, very communicative, greeted us in advance of the first walk, and sent us regular updates during her walk with our dog. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our Nala. She has great energy! Thank you again!”
