“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.”
“Our two dogs were very well taken care of while with Cynthia and her family. We received daily photos and videos of their cuddles and walks! It was comforting to know they were in good hands!”
“Ivan took great care of Remy while i was away for two weeks. He sent lots of updates and adorable photos of Remy having fun which was just so nice to see. Communication and coordinating drop off and pick up was easy and Remy came home happy and healthy. Definitely recommend!”
“We chose to board our dog again with Alvin and Ashley. Our dog had a great time and our experience is always positive! We can tell they really care about our dog ☺️ Thanks for everything!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Renee and Christopher took excellent care of Bear during his recent stay. They were very caring and attentive to our senior dog and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Gordon & Allison were wonderful to Penny, our 14 year old Yorkie. They did a meet-and-greet with us to understand Penny's personality and needs before agreeing to watch her. They sent us wonderful updates throughout Penny's stay with pictures that helped reassure us that Penny was doing okay. You could tell through the pictures that Penny was very comfortable with them. We did a lot of research and meet-and-greets with various sitters before agreeing to hand over our precious puppy to Gordon & Allison; they were our top choice! We're fortunate to have found Gordon & Allison and will have Penny stay with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of her.”
“Ana was a blessing! On very short notice, she took in our special needs pup who requires specific attention and medications. She kept us well informed and we could tell he was in good hands and happy from his expressions. Sometimes it is hard to find someone who cares as much as Ana about our guy. Thank you!”
“Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting were great sitters for our dog, Micro. They were very communicative prior to the booking to make sure they would be able to accommodate her needs. During the booking they updated us daily and sent beautiful pictures. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Mimi was very attentive to my dog. I was camping and so out of cell phone coverage, so she contacted Rover support for questions when my older dog was having difficulty. I would feel very safe having Mimi care for my pet. She did her best to give my dog options for exercise and for time outdoors. I am grateful Mimi took care of her.”
“Tara was wonderful with Kami! Our girl had a short and sweet stay that was absolutely perfect for her laid-back personality. Kami spent her time relaxing in the sun and just hanging out, which is exactly what she loves. We really appreciated Tara's thoughtful communication throughout the stay. Her daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind and made us smile. It was clear that Kami's chill vibe was a great match for Tara's calm and welcoming environment. We could tell Kami had a great time and felt right at home. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Tara again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Surf was indeed sad to leave Bennett & his mother and new furry friend. One of the best experiences I have had leaving my furry partner behind for any length of time. We will definitely be visiting Bennett again soon. I believe Surf thinks of it as his new home away from home.”
“We had excellent experience boarding our dog with Jeffrey. We had our dog stay with Jeff for almost 2 weeks over the holidays. We had an initial meet and greet before we booked the stay. Jeffery accommodated our needs, was very responsive and regularly sent us updates with pictures and videos of our dog. It was rainy many days when we were away and he offered to wash/clean our dog but asked for our permission before doing so. His place is close to the airport and we were able to leave our car parked on the street near his house while we were away without any problem which was convenient. We 100% recommend Jeffery and will use his services again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Thiago! As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them since childhood. My family has always had dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m proud to turn that lifelong passion into a career, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🐾 We’re a family home where everyone is passionate about dogs! I’m home full time so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. We treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay 🥰 I have a big fenced yard, turfed and lotta space for your puppy, I have a friendly dog so is a good company to have fun!! Our home is located only 4–5 minutes from the SFO airport which makes drop-off and pick-up super convenient for travelers. We also know that life can be unpredictable, whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic, or last-minute changes, we’re flexible and always do our best to adjust accordingly. My sister has been a professional dog sitter for years, but she’ll be taking a few months off for an upcoming foot surgery and recovery. I recently moved in to help her, and caring for dogs is now my full-time job. If you’re here from her profile, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and continue providing the same loving, safe and home away from home experience! ❤️

“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
“Bennett was such an amazing caretaker for our cat, James! Our original petsitter plans fell through last minute, but Bennett was available in short notice. He was extremely responsive and kind, sending us daily photos and updates of our cat. I felt 100% comfortable with leaving our cat in Bennett's care, which is rare for me. I highly recommend choosing Bennett to look after your animals- he does it with care and love! Thank you sooo much Bennett, next time we're in the area and need a sitter, we will definitely be contacting you.”
“Lehna was a fantastic cat sitter, my cats loved her and she took great care of them. They warmed up to her immediately and she was extremely thorough and communicative throughout the entire week. Thanks again, Lehna!”
“Vicky did an amazing job with my cat Juno. She walked, fed, and played with her. I was impressed with how quickly she responded to messages and how reliable she was. The daily pictures made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I will be booking Vicky in the future!”
“Alyssa watched my cat while I was gone for the weekend. She did a great job, was always on time and administered the medication that he needs while I was away. He was a happy boy when I got home and it seems like they had a good time together. I’ll be booking her again in the future.”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of my two senior cats. He has great communication and I can tell he cares about the animals. He kept the place clean during drop ins and provided updates and photos!”
“My cat usually hates everyone except me and my husband but she appeared for Stephanie! Stephanie did a great job following the instructions we left and was able to take us on at the last minute when our usual sitter fell through. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nikka is a wonderful, caring and attentive pet sitter! She stayed at my house with Juno and Lumi for a long weekend and I received lots of happy cat pictures over my time away. It's so nice to go out of town and know that my house and my boys are well cared for. Thank you Nikka! The boys miss you 😉”
“Zoeyanne did a fantastic job for us! She responded to our initial request for a booking quickly. She followed up. She was punctual. She gave thorough reports about how the visits were going. She provided lots of great pictures and did a lot to make sure that I did not have to worry about my cat while I was on vacation for two weeks. I recommend this person without reservation. You cannot miss by deciding to work with her.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and pace. Some cats want attention right away, some need time to observe from a distance, and some only warm up once they realize they are not being rushed. I’m comfortable caring for playful cats, shy cats, older cats, and cats who need a calmer approach. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while keeping their routine as familiar as possible. My goal is to earn their trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
About: Your cat’s comfort is my priority. I offer reliable, detail-oriented care that keeps your kitty feeling safe while you’re away. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious cats and always move at their pace. From maintaining a clean space to providing enrichment and gentle interaction, I make sure every visit is stress-free. You’ll receive consistent updates and cute photos every time ✨
About: I have over 22 years of dedicated experience caring for cats and have been the owner of four cats during this time. I am highly familiar with feline behavior, body language, and health needs. My experience includes caring for kittens, adult, and senior cats, administering basic care, maintaining litter hygiene, monitoring appetite and wellness, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I treat every cat with patience, professionalism, and the same level of care I give to my own pets.
About: Dogs have had a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember. Unable to have pets at home as a kid, I sought out opportunities to play with and care for dogs at a young age. Since then, I've... -had my own pets (yayyy!) -volunteered as a puppy foster mom -run large-scale fundraiser events for dog lovers + their dogs, benefiting local shelters -pet sit for 20+ years! (both in my home as well as the pet's home) I am truly comfortable and content with all dogs, from playful puppies and selective seniors, to doggos livin' large. I am happy to reinforce basic training and leash commands you are working on at home. I reward pawsitive behavior through affection, affirmation, and...treats!!! (where applicable of course - not for dogs on diets) :) Along with my 20+ years of experience in pet and house sitting, I have 10+ years of experience as a professional nanny and 2+ years of experience as a personal chef. I know how to treat others' homes, and loved ones, with respect, loving care, and confidentiality. I currently work from home, with flexibility to take breaks and walks throughout the day. I like to go on walks and hikes, and I’m happy to bring your dog along for the adventure if applicable. Health, safety, and happiness of your dog is my top priority. I want your doggie to live their best life while I am with them, and that means lots of love and adventuring (depending on your pup). If your dog is on the shy and/or anxious side, I provide space for them to come to me when the time is right. In an emergency, remaining calm, following procedure, and staying in good communication with you stays top of mind.

“Stephanie took care of our dog for the day while we were out of town. She was very easy to work with and very responsive. She sent updates throughout the day along with photos. I felt confident that our dog was receiving care, attention, and having fun:) We look forward to working with Stephanie again!”
“Amaru had a great time. Cynthia sent pictures, videos, and kept us updated throughout the day. She brought Amaru to his favorite place, Fort Funston! Amaru met new friends and had a great time! Thank you, again, Cynthia & family!”
“Anna was amazing! Her communication was very quick and clear. She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. Leaving my two-year-old dog with her for the day. She was super flexible and pick up and drop off time and Rilee just put all of my pet sitting anxiety at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”
“Erica and Stephen have been wonderful hosts to our Doug. Great communication and responsive. Very comfort knowing our Doug is in great hands. They provide photos and videos throughout his stay. Thank you so much”

About: I adopted my first rescue puppy over 19 years ago. Our most recent adoption turned out to be quite the handful. She's extremely reactive and is very anxious around strangers. I've learned so much from caring for her that I know I can care for any dog no matter their personality. I work from home so I'm available everyday and on the weekends too. I'm also self-employed so I set my own schedule and can take walk breaks whenever I like. Our house has a fully fenced in backyard. We also have an extra room that's separate from the rest of the house if your dog needs their own space.
About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old, and have had cats and dogs for my entire adult life. I have helped friends and family take care of their pets for just as long. I love animals, and their well-being is my utmost priority. I have extensive experience and knowledge on what pets need from experience with my own pets and taking care of pets for others. When I am traveling or need to be away from home for any reason, my main concern is always whether my cats and dogs are happy and getting everything they need. My mission is to do everything I can to give you the worry-free experience I would want myself. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible around what you and your pet(s) need. I am available at most times of the day and on weekends/holidays. I understand that every pet’s need can differ based on the situation. I will care for your pet according to his/her individual need.
“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
“Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.”
“Jeffery was fantastic. Our puppy is very skittish and doesn’t take to new people easily. By the end of doggy daycare, she was letting him pet her and feed her treats. This speaks volumes! It is clear from all interactions with Jeffery that he’s a very caring individual that puts your pet first and foremost. Would definitely recommend. Also his dog Barney was the cherry on top! Both dogs loved to play together.”
“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”
About: With an early start into the industry, I have specialized experience in training, diet, and grooming cats & dogs! I also have in depth, hands on experience with medication administration of pills, capsules, liquids and shots. Building trust is another skill I pride myself on-- I am patient and make steps based on your pets comfortability. I have a deep love and respect for all different kinds of animals and would love to spend more time with them. I am home a lot, so I've got time & space to host! I wake up early for the first walk of the day followed by breakfast. A wind down after walks is my secret to well-adjusted pups. The rest of the day depends on your usual routine with your pup, so fill me in on the details, and I'll mimic that. Here, I have carpet & a fenced yard! I have plenty of toys of all sizes and durability for cats & dogs, a filtered running water fountain, and a tall, multilevel cat tree. I prioritize your pets comfort and establish a trusting relationship between them, myself, and the cats in my home. I love taking photos, and I also have a Furbo in the home, which I can use to send fun clips from your pet's stay!
About: I am a physically active recent retiree and capable dog lover who recently lost my beloved Wheaten Terrier after 11 great years with him, so I'm well able to care for your very active or senior dog that might have special dietary or physical needs. I'm recently retired and home every day, so I have lots of time to care for your pet. Drop-off and pick-up very flexible every day and evening. Although we have a securely fenced and paved back yard, it contains a swimming pool, so we kept our own pet indoors or on our fenced in, covered deck/patio which is also secure. We have a large dog crate which our dog slept in every night, but this is flexible depending on your own dog's sleeping preferences. I do not let pets sleep on my bed. We live on a very quiet street with no 'through' traffic, so it's easy to walk your dog regularly without risking encounters with other pets. Our own dog was not comfortable around other dogs and this was easy for us to manage.
“Letitia met me outside when I arrived with my Golden Retriever, Winston. I was leaving him for several hours to familiarize him to Letitia & her house. Letitia was very nice & took good care of Winston. I feel confidant Winston will enjoy staying with her next week.”

About: I love helping families with dogs get their dog the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I always treat dogs like they're my own, I love animals of all kinds and can handle all ages and a wide range of personality types. I'm patient with dogs who pull the leash or go slow and do a lot of sniffing. I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule from 10am-3pm on Mo-Fr. I am happy to walk outside no matter the weather. I have a new EV to pick your dog up in and take them to a trail head. I always make sure their collar, leash, and/or harness is secured. I am good at following instructions and am accepting of advice you have about taking care of your dog.
“Lehna has been a great resource for the care of my two staffies. I have booked her several times already for walks and drop ins. She responds very quickly to requests, has strong communication skills and she updates me with details about how my dogs behaved with her. She has been professional and responsible and I can easily recommend her.”
“We are so grateful Matisse was available to walk Hutch over the holidays! Thanks for being responsive and sharing pics and tracks for the walks. Looks like Hutch had a great time!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets for close friends and family, including dog boarding, dog walking, and house sitting. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my care. I am currently home from college and am open to working full time to play and hang out with your pups. I am available everyday after 11:00am. For boarding I am also available weekdays and weekends :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space to roam around and play. My home is close to many parks and trails meaning lots of time for fetch and walks!
“Alyssa was wonderful and treated my 2 dogs so well! She showed up on time for all the walks and communicated information about each walk on the Rover website. She even included some cute pics! I will definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Ivan stepped in to help walk our two large to giant sized dogs shortly after my husband had surgery, sometimes supporting after last minute notice. Ivan is a good communicator. He smoothly navigated our dogs’ different personalities and walking styles (and a talkative neighbor). Ivan was also conscious of how the recent heat wave may affect our dogs’ safety and offered potential solutions. Thank you, Ivan!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every pet I care for. I treat them like my own, taking time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m great with all ages—from playful puppies who need guidance and fun, to senior pets who need a slower, gentle, and caring touch. I always adjust to their needs and personality. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry baby is safe, loved, and in good hands. Taking care of pets fits easily into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I love going on walks, playing, giving belly rubs and cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I care for every pet like they’re part of my own family. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with their favorite toys, giving cuddles, sticking to their feeding routine, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel at home. I also love sending photos and little updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands.
“Craig was fantastic! He met our pup Hutch ahead of our scheduled walks and tailored to them to Hutch’s activity level with some great hikes on Montara mountain. Craig is super easy going and responsive. We hope Hutch gets the opportunity to walk with Craig again soon!”
“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
About: Reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a six year old labradoodle currently and have taken full time care of an elderly black lab rescue in the past. I currently have no scheduling conflicts as I am home for the summer from college! Very open schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions. As well, I like to keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Zheng is a lifesaver! My dog has tons of energy, and Zheng did a fantastic job making sure he got a proper workout. I really appreciated the detailed Rover cards and the cute photos sent during the walk. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such capable hands while I’m traveling”
About: While I have yet to have any pets of my own, pets have always been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Between friends' and family members' dogs, I've built a lifetime of genuine hands-on experience. My style is calm and nurturing. I'm not here to rush your pup or overstimulate them. I'm here to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I have a particular soft spot for small dogs and know how much trust it takes to hand over a little one. You'll always get updates and photos, and your dog will always get my full, undivided attention. I'm currently on summer break and have an open schedule to build my day around bookings. My availability will shift from week to week, but my calendar is always up to date with my availability. Your home is your dog's safe space, and I treat it that way. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I ensure I follow your routines to the T: feeding schedules, sleep spots, walk routes, quirks and all. I believe consistency is the kindest thing you can offer a dog when their owner is away, so I make it my job to keep things as normal as possible. I'm attentive by nature and take pet safety seriously. Doors stay closed, leashes stay on, and your dog's comfort always takes priority over convenience. If anything seems off, whether behaviorally or physically, you'll hear from me right away. I'd rather over-communicate than leave you guessing.
About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years and we have all types of dogs and puppies. We go on daily outings for 45min or more and always the beach so I’m down for long walks with the doggies I work M-F 8-3 so available anytime after that and weekends! I’m more available on weekdays than weekends. But anything is possible and I can work it out either way I have had an animals all my life and have dealt with the beginning stage of puppies. I have always been the one to look after my dogs and family dogs meaning feeding them, taking them out, etc
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!
“Zoeyanne had great rapport with both of my dogs (who have very different personalities and lots of quirks). She was also very patient and helpful with some problems I had booking the appointment.”
“Jacob was awesome with my dogs! It’s always stressful to introduce a new dog walker into my dogs routines but Jacob was very patient and listened to all of my concerns. He was able to accommodate their needs, was communicative, and always stayed for the full amount of time allocated. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m nicole . I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets. I’m currently working at night. So I’m mostly at home all the time. I am up all morning and afternoon. Then like around 8 o’clock I go to sleep.

“This was a meet and greet at my house with Erica. She is super friendly knowledgeable and loves dogs! She and her husband Steve are very flexible. I trusted them right away. Elroy will be going to their house for doggie daycare to get them acclimated to their place. Looking forward to it.”
About: Hi, my name is Jessica! I have experience with many breeds of dogs through my work in rescue and previous experience with walking and boarding dogs. I’ve worked with stronger breeds like shepherds, pitbulls/bully breeds, doberman, as well as herding breeds. I have a dog of my own that’s social with other dogs and assisted with teaching rambunctious puppies doggy manners as well as confidence building in shy dogs. My previous experience includes working with dogs with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, and dog selectivity/dog aggression. I live in a home with no breed restrictions. I can administer medication if the dog in my care requires it. I will continue training of the pets in my care according to what is practiced in the dogs home regularly.

“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.”
“Our two dogs were very well taken care of while with Cynthia and her family. We received daily photos and videos of their cuddles and walks! It was comforting to know they were in good hands!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Ana was a blessing! On very short notice, she took in our special needs pup who requires specific attention and medications. She kept us well informed and we could tell he was in good hands and happy from his expressions. Sometimes it is hard to find someone who cares as much as Ana about our guy. Thank you!”
“Mimi was very attentive to my dog. I was camping and so out of cell phone coverage, so she contacted Rover support for questions when my older dog was having difficulty. I would feel very safe having Mimi care for my pet. She did her best to give my dog options for exercise and for time outdoors. I am grateful Mimi took care of her.”
“Tara was wonderful with Kami! Our girl had a short and sweet stay that was absolutely perfect for her laid-back personality. Kami spent her time relaxing in the sun and just hanging out, which is exactly what she loves. We really appreciated Tara's thoughtful communication throughout the stay. Her daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind and made us smile. It was clear that Kami's chill vibe was a great match for Tara's calm and welcoming environment. We could tell Kami had a great time and felt right at home. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Tara again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“We had excellent experience boarding our dog with Jeffrey. We had our dog stay with Jeff for almost 2 weeks over the holidays. We had an initial meet and greet before we booked the stay. Jeffery accommodated our needs, was very responsive and regularly sent us updates with pictures and videos of our dog. It was rainy many days when we were away and he offered to wash/clean our dog but asked for our permission before doing so. His place is close to the airport and we were able to leave our car parked on the street near his house while we were away without any problem which was convenient. We 100% recommend Jeffery and will use his services again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Thiago! As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and caring for them since childhood. My family has always had dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m proud to turn that lifelong passion into a career, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. 🐾🐾 We’re a family home where everyone is passionate about dogs! I’m home full time so your dog will always be supervised and never left alone. We treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay 🥰 I have a big fenced yard, turfed and lotta space for your puppy, I have a friendly dog so is a good company to have fun!! Our home is located only 4–5 minutes from the SFO airport which makes drop-off and pick-up super convenient for travelers. We also know that life can be unpredictable, whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic, or last-minute changes, we’re flexible and always do our best to adjust accordingly. My sister has been a professional dog sitter for years, but she’ll be taking a few months off for an upcoming foot surgery and recovery. I recently moved in to help her, and caring for dogs is now my full-time job. If you’re here from her profile, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and continue providing the same loving, safe and home away from home experience! ❤️
About: Virtually 24/7 availability! I work from home and can provide care and attention for almost all day long. I have had dogs for about 20 years as well as lots of foster/rescue experience. I work from home so I can care for your pet as needed! Your dog can have run of the house - I allow dogs on furniture and even let them sleep in our bed if that's what they are used to. I have a fenced backyard and a small, friendly, neutered Pomeranian mix to keep your dog company! I am in a single adult home with no children.
“Grateful to have found Sam. She was very gentle and empathetic with Hoku. Currently Hoku has broken nail on her front paw and gingerly hopping along. Hoku was well cared for, ate well, and completely exhausted from all the fun. Totally recommend.”
“I am very grateful to Kyaw for the excellent care provided to our Walter. Kyaw was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pet was well cared for and in good hands. Thank you again for your professionalism and compassion!”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Shao did an amazing job watching my girls for a week. You can tell that she really cares about the dogs and sends lots of pictures and videos. Really made my dogs feel at home and her house and even sent them home with some homemade treats which they love. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I adopted my first rescue puppy over 19 years ago. Our most recent adoption turned out to be quite the handful. She's extremely reactive and is very anxious around strangers. I've learned so much from caring for her that I know I can care for any dog no matter their personality. I work from home so I'm available everyday and on the weekends too. I'm also self-employed so I set my own schedule and can take walk breaks whenever I like. Our house has a fully fenced in backyard. We also have an extra room that's separate from the rest of the house if your dog needs their own space.
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
