“Absolute Best Care for Sesame! I cannot recommend Kristine highly enough! She watched our dog, Sesame, over the weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, it was clear just how kind, patient, and genuinely nice she is. She treated Sesame like one of her own, giving her the absolute best care, attention, and love. It brought us total peace of mind knowing Sesame was in such safe, affectionate hands while we were away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Sesame can’t wait to hang out with her again! Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of our pup!”
“Jennifer took such great care of Molly during her boarding stay. Molly has allergies that cause eye discharge, and Jennifer made sure to clean her eyes every day. A lot of boarders overlook that extra care, so I really appreciated it. Molly’s eyes looked so clean and well cared for when I picked her up. Jennifer also kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight was delayed as well. I would absolutely use Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their dog.”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.
“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”
“Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜”
“The best service you could possibly ask for. My puppy had some of the most fun of his life staying with Ivan! He got playtime all day, Ivan was super patient with him during his training phase, and I had zero worries. I absolutely recommend Ivan for a high-quality experience and second home for your dog.”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Kitty is such a great pet sitter. This is the first time using Rover and leaving my dog, Bruno, in the care of another person. I honestly couldn't have imagined a better experience! Upon meeting Kitty for the first time, I was impressed with how quickly she responded to my messages/questions and how flexible she was with scheduling a meet-and-greet. Bruno was instantly a fan of Kitty and her home that he didn't want to leave. She was very friendly to me, my family, and Bruno that we knew she was the right pet sitter for us instantly. While I was on my vacation, Kitty regularly sent me pictures and messages about how Bruno was doing. This put my mind at ease and really allowed me to enjoy my vacation as much as possible. She's very experienced and knows how to care for multiple dogs at once. Bruno hasn't had much experience to being with other dogs, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that he was making friends with other dogs at Kitty's home. Kitty is very patient and caring and does everything she can to adjust to your dog's usual routine at home. She walked Bruno 4 times a day and even let him sleep in her room! I am so satisfied with Kitty's services that I have already recommended her to several friends and will look no further if I ever need someone to look after Bruno. Thank you so much, Kitty! You have no idea how much I appreciate all of your work!”
“Annie is a wonderful sitter. She spends a lot of time outside with the pups in her care, gives them homemade treats, she helps to reinforce good behavior, and she sends plenty of photos. My dog Juliet always comes home clean, happy, and ready for a nap. I highly recommend Annie for your next sit.”
“Meghana was great! Shared updates with us everyday and sent pictures without us needing to ask. Our anxious/reactive dog seemed pretty comfortable with her. Very responsive. Would definitely have our dog stay with her again :)”
“Our dogs love Mario. He has been so great with them. It makes me feel better knowing that they are comfortable in his home and he is taking good care of them.”
“Zoe was wonderful with Thor! He has medication needs and Zoe was patient with Thor and he enjoyed himsefl! Lots of pics and video updates which was really great! Thanks so much!”
“From the photos they sent me every day for 11 days, I could tell my 10 month old Boston Terrier, Charlie, had a blast. Part of this is due to Deepanwita and her husband and part of this is due to Einstein, their BT. Einstein deserves some extra treats for all play time he gave Charlie! Bottom line: I felt like I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation due to the care and cuddles they gave Charlie. This is so much better than some generic boarding place since he is kept active and provided individual attention throughout the day.”
“I could say a lot of positive things about Anna, but I think the most meaningful review would come from my dog: when I pull up to Anna’s house he gets VERY excited and RUNS to her door. And when I come to pick him up he’s happy and healthy.”
“Andy was FANTASTIC. He sent many videos and photos so we wouldn't miss our dog, too much. He took incredible care of Cleo and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well-exercised. It was really nice having her stay with another golden (Milo). Milo is extremely polite and well-behaved and acts as a great companion. Andy asked permission before feeding Cleo any fruits or veggies, too. We could tell he really loves dogs and you can have total peace of mind when your dog is in his care. Highly recommended.”

“We’ve used Helen multiple times and couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She’s friendly, reliable, flexible and communicative. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cat is well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend her!”
“Kecheng and A took great care of Luna while we were away. Luna seemed even a bit cuddlier when we got back! We really appreciated the daily photos and videos. Looking forward to next time Luna can stay with them.”
“Xilin is the best! I’ve booked her services a couple of times now. She always ensures that I receive a lot of pictures and videos, and that my cat is taken care of with love and attention.”
About: From owning my own cats to fostering kittens and strays, I have learned the ins and outs of cat behavior and optimal care. I would love to give your own unique cat the care they deserve!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7, and I have efficient experience with petting and playing with them. I always build up strong trust and a connection with them. I am currently WFH as a full time financial advisor, but I have plenty of time to walk dogs during the week days. I am also available full days on weekends. I am surrounded by a community of dog lovers. I also have a white Great Pyrenees in my house. Just let me know your needs, and I will make sure to satisfy them to the best of my ability.
About: I’m a proud cat dad with experience caring for cats from their earliest days as stray kittens to becoming happy, well-adjusted companions. Over the years, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and way of showing trust. I’m patient with shy cats, attentive to routines, and always take the time to make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, litter care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every cat with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Jennifer always goes above and beyond. She is flexible and willing to do more or extend more time if the situation requires. We have rebook her again and my cat is always happy and cool with her. Again, 100% recommended!”
“Zarina was a great sitter for our bengal cat while we were away. She was very communicative and was careful to follow all our instructions. I would definitely book her again.”
“Kristin again took great care of our older cat again. She was very responsive when he was having digestion issues and helped us travel with ease. Will definitely look to her again in the future!”
“Emmy went above and beyond to take care of our adult cat and our two foster kittens. She was extremely communicative, and took time to send detailed updates of all three cats and pictures of them playing. She kindly helped clean up after our two foster kittens when they had accidents in the first couple of days, and also looked after them after they got spayed and neutered. We came home to three very happy cats, so we can't recommend Emmy enough and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
“Alanna did a great job looking after my cat. She dropped in regularly, sent me a photo, and gave me updated details about her every day. When I returned, kitty looked well fed and happy and the house looked orderly and clean.”
“Our experience with Rong was terrific! She cared for our cats for a couple days while we were away. She was prompt, thorough, and communicative. One day it looked like the cats got into a tiff and there was hair tufts all over the hallway. She let us know, sent photos and cleaned up after them. We appreciated her care for our cats and home, as well as the updates and pics that she provided. Thanks so much Rong! We’ll be in touch again!”
About: I’ve also cared for cats for many years as both a cat owner and a pet sitter. Over the years, I’ve had three indoor cats, and my most recent cat was part of my family for nine years. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box cleaning, administering medication, trimming nails, brushing, cleaning ears, and caring for cats after surgery. I’ve also looked after households with multiple cats and understand that each cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime or simply prefers a quiet visit with fresh food, clean water, and a clean litter box, I’ll make sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: i grew up dogs so i work best with dogs! i love getting playtime in with dogs to get all their energy out. but i also love lounging with dogs in the sun and giving them quality time. i know puppies can be a lot, but with detailed instructions, i can help watch and reinforce puppy training as i know how crucial puppy training can be. i have little experience with senior pets but am opening to learn as all pets need care. all i ask is for a typical day to day glimpse so ur fur babies have minimal disruption to their usual routine. i am familiar with cats and can help provide basic care as well why am i doing rover? i sadly live away from my family and my apartment doesnt allow dogs ): i grew up around dogs and wish i could own one right now. i'm hoping to do rover to make a lil more income, get my steps in, but most importantly get some quality pets in because i miss dogs the most i work from home so i can be flexible with my availability to care. early mornings can be tough but anytime after will be fine. if ur comfortable, i can work from ur home so ur dogs can have a buddy almost 24/7 i love to treat all pets like they're part of the family. i know some dogs can get anxious so i wanna do my best to make sure they're getting the best care while their parents are away. i don't do well with kids but i do great with pets! i am transparent with my communication so i please ask that you are just as transparent with me to ensure your pets can get the best care. unfortunately, my apartment does not allow any pets, but i don't want to let that stop me from a daily dose of animals.
“Amanda took great care of our cat and sent us several photos every time she visited. She also handled several difficulties with my apartment. Really appreciate the help!”
“Sameena did an outstanding job, 5 stars are not enough. Sameena is very responsive and updates frequently. She was very comfortable providing medicine and supplements to my elderly kitty (credit to her education in animal science) and was even flexible enough to extend her visit by another day. I would certainly book Sameena again if I need another sitter.”
“Tsu-Wei did a great job of checking in on Atlas, and followed all directions/requests with no problem. She provided detailed updates on her visit as well. Would book again!”
About: Our place is 15 mins from SFO. You can drop off and park at street during your trip! I’ve provided boarding and day care service for my clients, family & friends for over 5 yrs now. We have a 4-yr old Formosan Mountain Dog, Koko. She loves chasing with her fur friends in our backyard. I take at most 1 NEW client at a time(no more than 3 dogs for repeating client). Your pet will receive great attention and a careful watch during their stay with us. I’m currently working from home so I’m always there for your pup. Staying at our home will include 1-2 walks a day around the neighborhood. If your pet is good with car trips, we also go to a large near by park by car frequently. Potty breaks can be provided every 2 hours in our large, fenced backyard. Your pet is welcomed to stay indoor with us, or if they like taking a nice sun bath on our backyard porch. The side doors to our backyard and fences are always well secured. We have a spacious backyard with fence for your dog to have fun and exercise. My schedule is rather flexible depends on your pet’s need. Normally we do 1-2 walks a day and frequent potty breaks. See description section for our routine. I have a large fenced yard, with natural grass, turf playground, and a porch for sun bath. The side doors are always well secured. We will never open front door without securing your pet. I watch when your pet is playing outside. We also have cameras around the house that’s always on.
About: Hi, I currently have a 5 year old English Bulldog who I love to pieces. He is my buddy and such a mama's boy. Growing up my family has always had a dog in our home. I had a husky/malamute mix while I was in highschool and she had a littler of puppies so that helps with my puppy experience. Im comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I love animals. I'll play with your dog and take him/her on walks, make sure he is has water, and lots of love and attention while you are working or out of town. I believe that dogs are members of the family and should be treated so. I'm thankful for the love and companionship that they show you. Our dogs are a part of our family. Your dog will have play time all day and go on at least 4 walk a day. Thank you! I work very early mornings and close by, so I am able to balance dog boarding and working at the same time. I’m very flexible. Your dog/dogs will become a part of my family and be treated like my own. They get the same treatment as mine, sleeping on the couch is ok in my house :)

“Zhenting and her family are so friendly and caring. Today was the first day I sent my dogs to daycare and I was very nervous about it but they had a good time with Zhenting! She sends me pictures and messages frequently throughout the day. Very mindful and lovely family!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with pets and have helped neighbors, friends, and family with dog walking, feeding, bathing, and basic care. I’m patient, gentle, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like family. I have two children and a flexible schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. During this time, I’m fully available to walk, feed, and care for your pet. I respect your home and your pet’s needs. I provide a loving, safe, and calm environment, making sure every pet feels cared for like family.
“Ming-Ching and Koko were fantastic with my shy dog. She sent many photos and videos of him throughout the day so I could have peace of mind that my dog was in good hands! He came home and slept well after a big day :)”
About: I have a 1 year old corgi and good at training puppies. I enjoy outside and hike with my dogs. I am very caring and keep dog companied. I am working from home and basically check dogs every 2~4 hours and take him to pee break. I usually take him to hike on weekends I have a fenced yard and a corgi. We walk together after work. I brushed him every day and clean his hair. I also gave him bath every month.
“Kristine did a great job watching over our dog. Our senior dog can be difficult and has some specific care instructions which she took into account. She sent updates and photos throughout the day and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!”
“Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work worth. She provides thorough updates to give you peace of mind when you’re away from your pet. Definitely looking to keep Amanda as one of my long term care takers for my dog when I’m away.”
“Katharine did a great job taking care of our dog for day care. She took her on several walks during the day, sent a few updates via Rover and took lots of photos. Our dog had a lot of fun, got great exercise, and we would definitely ask Katharine to take care of her again”
About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.
About: I’ve always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.
About: I have years of experience with animals from fostering, pet sitting, and owning my own pets! I also have done years of volunteering in different shelters. My experience goes far beyond cats and dogs extending to reptiles, birds, small animals you name it. I can handle animals of all temperaments and quirky personalities and have experience with shy and anxious pets. I have a lot of experience with both senior pets and puppies/kittens! I also know CPR, can administer injections, and first aid 😁 I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule and attend classes from 8:30am-12pm If I am in school someone is always home with your pets as I live with my family and they help me out a lot we love your pets like our own 😊 My routine really depends on owners instructions but I will adjust if I need to make it compatible to my lifestyle such as feeding and bathroom times!
About: We are a family of four who loves dogs. Our lives center around our healthy 5 year old lab retriever Texas who spayed and updated with her shots. We live in the beautiful hills of Belmont and have a deck for dogs to sunbathe on and a fenced yard to play and get their wiggles out. I’m a dog walker so what better than walking two dogs versus one! 7am potty break, 7.30am Breakfast, 8-9am morning play, relax/sunbathe (dogs 😊), 10-11 am bathroom break 4pm - dinner, 5-7 pm walk , lights out -10.30pm Before boarding it’s imperative that we meet the dog and the dogs meet each other. Smaller dogs get very defensive affront large dogs and since we have a large dog I’m right now restricted to large dogs only. Our fenced yard is a perfect place for dogs to play and have fun with the gazillion toys we have. We also live 5min away from a dog park so if your dog is friendly and has a good recall that’s another place we can have fun. I take time to build and earn the dog’s trust - some treats go a long way. I check their paws after playing to ensure nothing is bothering and also keep a keen eye on any scratching or biting.
“Highly recommended! Carol & Megan are very responsible dog lovers. My pup Potato is having a fantastic time at their place. He always comes home fully exercised.”
“Doug took a good care of my my dog "Mochi". He was very good at communicating and flexible with my last minute request. I'm sure to leave my dog with him again! Thank you, Doug.”
About: I have an extremely flexible schedule (available during “work hours”/ weekdays). I grew up with small dogs and currently have a Doberman now. So I have experience caring for both large and small breeds. Since my Doberman is a working breed, we’ve attended many training classes over the last 3 years. My doberman is extremely friendly and he gets along with all other dogs. He can be energetic outside but also super chill and calm at home. When you book any services with me, you can expect fast communication and lots of updates with pictures and videos! I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! Majority of the time I’ll be doing work on my laptop remotely on a flexible schedule. I sill have plenty of time to bring your pups on walks. I wfh all weekdays so I will be able yo watch your dog and let them out every 2-4 hours. My bf also wfh so there will be a second pair of eyes to ensure the pups safety!
“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
“This was the first time I am using Rover and for that matter the first time to ever use a dog sitter. How fortunate are we to have found Chloe. She’s understanding and reassuring that Charlie will be well cared for and I truly believe she was. Chloe is calm and kind. She provided us with photos. ♥️ I won’t hesitate to used Chloe again.”

“Sarahi was fantastic with walking our little guy! She sent a thoughtful update with photos and a detailed note, and I loved that she noticed he was hesitant on certain streets and adjusted the route so he’d be comfortable. He came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend - will definitely book her again!”
“Heleen was very punctual and prompt in responding. She came to walk lucky at exactly 7:45am which I really appreciated. She was transparent in communicating any potential concerns walking Lucky in our busy neighborhood. Would definitely have her walk our dog again!”
About: I’ve been an in-home house/pet sitter for 3 years now with some consistent and happy pet families. I am happy to stay in home, drop in, do walks, and I’m experienced with cats and any sized dog. I have classes 3 days/week in the mornings, and then work everyday for 3-5 hours in the afternoon. I have space in between those commitments. I put the animal’s needs first! I love to do their favorite things with them. Running, playing fetch, cuddling, going to the park, going on walks, etc.
“Emma has been wonderful taking Koda on walks! She is very diligent about Koda’s condition and even applied cold compress when Koda’s limping without me asking her to. Emma is kind, caring and punctual! Will definitely recommend Emma to anyone to care for their furry friends!”
“Peter was great! He was so good with Norman and he sent me lots of photos. When he came for our original meet and greet, he was right on time and so personable! I will definitely use him again!”
About: I love animals of all kinds. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, and birds for most of my life and have an understanding of their different needs and personalities. I currently have two 10-year-old rescued cats and am experienced with daily care routines, feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have also had several dogs throughout my life, with experience in training, walking, and daily care. My niece is also a vet tech at Sage, so always a phone call away for advice. I have recently retired and have time to fill my days with keeping your fur babies company. I am available every day, with the exception of occasional travel and vacations. I have two 10-year-old kitties in my home, so care most likely would be best in your home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine throughout the days and nights.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7, and I have efficient experience with petting and playing with them. I always build up strong trust and a connection with them. I am currently WFH as a full time financial advisor, but I have plenty of time to walk dogs during the week days. I am also available full days on weekends. I am surrounded by a community of dog lovers. I also have a white Great Pyrenees in my house. Just let me know your needs, and I will make sure to satisfy them to the best of my ability.
About: I've had 8 dogs in my lifetime since I was a kid. As an adult I was able to have my dogs potty trained and listening to commands by the time they were 3 months old. I love dogs but my husband is a cat person. I'm currently working 4 days a week and found that I want to do something that brings me joy and activity. I would love to have pets of my own but unable to at this time. I am able to walk and care for pets anytime after my full time work or on my days off. My apartment is pet friendly, has a big grass area within the complex, and easy access to the cemented bay trail that goes from the park next door to Foster City.
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—from shelter kittens and farm animals to huskies, Yorkies, puppies, fish, and even an axolotl! I also volunteered for a year at Pets In Need, where I was trained to care for cats and kittens with different personalities and comfort levels. I started pet sitting in college and have continued through graduate school, caring for pets of professors, lab mates, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with energetic pets who want walks and playtime, as well as independent pets who prefer a little space. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time with animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and will make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for. And if you couldn't already tell by the photos on my profile -- I love to take a funny selfie with pets and most of the time they're looking at the camera too! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. On days when I’m doing data analysis, I often work from home, so I can be around for plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m also a trail runner, hiker, and generally love being outdoors, so walks are something I genuinely enjoy! For energetic dogs, I’d be happy to take them on longer walks, hikes, or runs if that’s something you’re comfortable with. On the other end of the energy spectrum, I’m also a big fan of naps, so pets who prefer to snooze, lounge, or curl up on the couch all day are more than welcome—I’m always happy to have a nap buddy! I always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m happy to follow each owner’s specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any house rules or behavioral needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced-in backyard area with a mix of concrete, a very small grassy area, and bark where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play. There’s also a dog park about a 12-minute walk away for pups who enjoy having more room to explore and exercise. For cats, my home has plenty of sunny window space, including views of a bird feeder for some quality bird watching! There are also lots of comfortable spots for lounging and naps in the sun. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’m happy to give them as much playtime, attention, or quiet space as they need to feel at home. Every pet is different so I am happy to chat more specifics with each owner.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need gentle care and extra attention. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, administering basic medications, and maintaining calm, comforting environments. My priority is always safety, trust, and keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after, making sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I build my day around their routines. On a weekly basis, I check in with clients to confirm schedules, update them with photos and notes, and make sure each pet’s needs are being met. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every single day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines to minimize stress, keep them active and engaged, and send regular photo and text updates so owners feel connected and confident that their furry family members are in good hands.
“We had a great experience with Amber. She was very experienced and did a great job walking our dog. I appreciated her prompt responses and photo updates too! Will definitely use her again!”
“Ray was great with Jimi! Jimi is leash reactive and not friendly with other dogs, plus he is very strong, so I’m always worried when someone else walks him. But I felt extremely confident with Ray walking him. He also spent extra time with Jimi and they played in the backyard after each walk. Additionally, I appreciated how communicative Ray was with me and all the pictures that he sent while I was away. I can’t recommend Ray enough!”
About: i grew up dogs so i work best with dogs! i love getting playtime in with dogs to get all their energy out. but i also love lounging with dogs in the sun and giving them quality time. i know puppies can be a lot, but with detailed instructions, i can help watch and reinforce puppy training as i know how crucial puppy training can be. i have little experience with senior pets but am opening to learn as all pets need care. all i ask is for a typical day to day glimpse so ur fur babies have minimal disruption to their usual routine. i am familiar with cats and can help provide basic care as well why am i doing rover? i sadly live away from my family and my apartment doesnt allow dogs ): i grew up around dogs and wish i could own one right now. i'm hoping to do rover to make a lil more income, get my steps in, but most importantly get some quality pets in because i miss dogs the most i work from home so i can be flexible with my availability to care. early mornings can be tough but anytime after will be fine. if ur comfortable, i can work from ur home so ur dogs can have a buddy almost 24/7 i love to treat all pets like they're part of the family. i know some dogs can get anxious so i wanna do my best to make sure they're getting the best care while their parents are away. i don't do well with kids but i do great with pets! i am transparent with my communication so i please ask that you are just as transparent with me to ensure your pets can get the best care. unfortunately, my apartment does not allow any pets, but i don't want to let that stop me from a daily dose of animals.
“Tiffany was great and took care of my dog very well. She was communicating and always responsive, followed all my instructions for feeding and giving medication. Would hire again.”
About: Our place is 15 mins from SFO. You can drop off and park at street during your trip! I’ve provided boarding and day care service for my clients, family & friends for over 5 yrs now. We have a 4-yr old Formosan Mountain Dog, Koko. She loves chasing with her fur friends in our backyard. I take at most 1 NEW client at a time(no more than 3 dogs for repeating client).

Potty breaks can be provided every 2 hours in our large, fenced backyard. Your pet is welcomed to stay indoor with us, or if they like taking a nice sun bath on our backyard porch. The side doors to our backyard and fences are always well secured. We have a spacious backyard with fence for your dog to have fun and exercise. My schedule is rather flexible depends on your pet’s need. Normally we do 1-2 walks a day and frequent potty breaks. See description section for our routine. I have a large fenced yard, with natural grass, turf playground, and a porch for sun bath. The side doors are always well secured. We will never open front door without securing your pet. I watch when your pet is playing outside. We also have cameras around the house that’s always on.
“Sameena was amazing! She took great care and alerted me immediately when she noticed a health issue with my pup. Thanks to her, I was able to come home and bring my pup to the vet. 🙏 🙏 🙏”
“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”

“Absolute Best Care for Sesame! I cannot recommend Kristine highly enough! She watched our dog, Sesame, over the weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, it was clear just how kind, patient, and genuinely nice she is. She treated Sesame like one of her own, giving her the absolute best care, attention, and love. It brought us total peace of mind knowing Sesame was in such safe, affectionate hands while we were away. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive sitter who goes above and beyond, look no further. Sesame can’t wait to hang out with her again! Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of our pup!”
“Jennifer took such great care of Molly during her boarding stay. Molly has allergies that cause eye discharge, and Jennifer made sure to clean her eyes every day. A lot of boarders overlook that extra care, so I really appreciated it. Molly’s eyes looked so clean and well cared for when I picked her up. Jennifer also kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight was delayed as well. I would absolutely use Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their dog.”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.
“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”
“Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“Sandra and Jose were excellent with my two girls - Ellie and Lucy. They were patient, kind, and attentive with them and they sent many updates regarding how they were getting along and settling in. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for future stays.”
“Andy was FANTASTIC. He sent many videos and photos so we wouldn't miss our dog, too much. He took incredible care of Cleo and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well-exercised. It was really nice having her stay with another golden (Milo). Milo is extremely polite and well-behaved and acts as a great companion. Andy asked permission before feeding Cleo any fruits or veggies, too. We could tell he really loves dogs and you can have total peace of mind when your dog is in his care. Highly recommended.”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”
“Deborah was amazing! Very thankful for her to take care of Loki in short notice. She communicated with us very quickly and gave Loki the best experience. Will definitely come back to her.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
“Andy and his family took great care of Maggie. When we had an unexpected travel hiccup, they were extremely flexible. Maggie returned happy and relaxed from a great stay. Would happily ask them to watch our dog again!”
“RoRo had a great time with Lauri! And I was able to enjoy my first night away from my puppy, worry-free. She was communicative and flexible. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! 👍😀”
About: I’m a caring, responsible dog lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each dog. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, extra patience with a shy dog, or a calm and comfortable environment for a senior pet. I’m also comfortable providing the patience and consistency that young dogs and puppies need as they learn good habits and adjust to new surroundings. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away-and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work outside the home, but I'm intentional about making pet care a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Before booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. When I'm home, your pet gets plenty of companionhsip, attention, and care in a calm, comfortable enviornment. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and individual care. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, outdoor time, play, and lots of attention and affection. For cats, I'll provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime and companionship while also respecting their need for quiet time and personal space. I provide a calm, comfortable home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow your instructions and adjust their care to their individual personality, routine, and needs.
“OMG- it’s hard to express how extremely happy and content my dog Ivy was in Kaitlyn‘s care. Upon returning home from my trip, Ivy was actually depressed not to be with Sammy and Kaitlyn! They showed her such a wonderful time with plenty of walks, play time and excursions. I received so many updates- photos and videos while away. It truly warmed my heart to know Ivy was under such good care. We’re already looking forward to booking again! ?”
