“You can tell that Julie and Adam are dog lovers. They made our nervous dog feel comfortable and secure while we were out of town. He got to go on lots of outings and walks and had companionship while they worked from home. We would definitely reach out to them when we need dog care in the future.”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Zoe with Wenxin and her partner. We’ve been dealing with some allergies and they helped us keep up with her probiotics and cleansing foam. Zoe was well exercised and came home fully relaxed. They also went above and beyond with dropping her off at our house since they were in the neighborhood that evening, as well as supplementing her food when I forgot a meals worth. Highly recommend especially if you want your dog treated like family!”
“Ashish took excellent care of my 6-year-old dog. He sent many photos and communicated with me about my dog’s initial separation anxiety, finding ways to engage with her and make her feel at home in a new setting. I appreciate the care, exercise, and attention he provided her that put my mind at ease. Great to have discovered a trustworthy local sitter!”
“Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available”
“Ana G and her love & care for our fur baby was exceptional ❤️ I will definitely refer her and keep her for our dog coverage care, not to mention, as much as she hated to see our pup go. I think pup didn't want to leave. She a real 5 star 🌟”
“Ross and family took amazing care of Clover and Willow! They seems extremely relaxed and to get along well with Millie. I didn’t worry about them during our trip. Super thankful and would love to have the girls stay again!”
“Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.”
“Nathaniel did a great job caring for my energetic three-year-old Kelpie. My dog came home happy and well cared for. The only improvement I'd suggest is sending photos and updates more often. Overall, a very positive experience, and I'd be happy to use Nathaniel's services again.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Radha is always so great with our doggos. She is attentive and gives photo updates which always gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Happy to have her watch our dogs any time.”
“Deborah had my dog for a week while I was on a work trip. I hate leaving him, but she made the trip so much better with regular photos and updates. He had a great time, and I could not have been more pleased. It actually enabled me to enjoy my trip. Thank you!!”
“I highly recommend Kaja for her exceptional boarding services! She was incredibly flexible in accommodating my late request, which I really appreciated. Kaja treated Benny with so much love and care, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy with her. Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping me updated and ensuring everything went smoothly. I fully trust her with Benny and will definitely be contacting her for any future needs.”
“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Kiarash was amazing! Very communicative. He was so good with my dog that I look forward to booking him again! He was kind, welcoming, fed my dog great meals and took him hiking! My dog was loving his best life in Kiarash’s care. Thank you so much! Your kindness means so much to people like me.”
“Tea and Nova were so great with my boy, Mako! She was so patient with getting to know Mako and making sure that I was confident that the two pups would get along. She definitely has lots of training experience which was great because Mako can be reactive. Plus Tea sent lots of pictures! I'll definitely have Tea watch Mako again ❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: I care for my boyfriend’s cat when he’s away, making sure he’s happy, fed, and comfy. I also help a stray in my neighborhood by giving food, attention, and a safe home to come to. I love spending time with cats and getting to know their personalities!

“Mariana was an outstanding sitter for my cat Poppy! She is very communicative, attentive, and kind. This was my first time having a sitter drop in my current home, which has a very fickle door locking mechanism. I was quite nervous about it and worried it would be too complicated, but she handled it like a champ! I am very very grateful for her and loved all the pictures she sent us while we were away. I highly recommend Mariana to anyone looking for a reliable sitter and will definitely be seeking her services in the future!”
About: I have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, ages, and care needs. Over the years, I have worked with friendly cats, shy cats, senior cats, and cats requiring medication support and specialized care. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and respecting each cat’s environment. Whether a cat needs medication, support with subcutaneous fluids, extra patience during stressful situations, or simply a calm and reliable caregiver while their family is away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I enjoy working as a team with pet owners to support their cat’s well-being, comfort, and quality of life while providing thoughtful observation, communication, and individualized care.
“Carrie was our first experience with Rover. It was obvious, when meeting our cat for the first time, that Carrie made a special connection with our cat. She paid attention to the instructions we left for her to follow, and helped us feel confident in our selection, especially with daily photos and postings of our cat. We are totally pleased with Carrie and the wonderful care she provided for Ms Mimi. Mimi and her parents look forward to the opportunity to using her services in the future.”
“Gabby took such great care of our two kitties! She played with them and cared for them like her own. She is a great communicator and we never worried about our fur babies while we were away.”
“Thank you Cyndi for taking care of Jack and Guiness and sending us the pictures, it gave us a lot of piece of mind knowing that Cyndi was taking care of our 2 cats! I can highly recommend Cyndi”
About: My comfort and experience with cats goes as far as checking on them, refilling their food and water bowls and cleaning their litter boxes. Unfortunately, I am moderately allergic to cats, so I would not be staying in any homes with cats.
“Signe was a great cat & house sitter! We left for a long weekend and she stayed with our cat Mo. He warmed up to her quickly and she sent updates and photos while we were away. She was great at communicating and left our house clean and tidy. Would definitely have Signe back!”
About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One was rescued from the street, and his name is Macchiato. The other was adopted from a shelter, and her name is Truffle. I also have experience caring for other cats and often help my friends take care of their cats. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“It was great having Olivia petsit my Persian kitty, Maya! I loved the pics and updates she would send and I always felt reassured. My kitty was super sweet, relaxed, and comfortable by the end of her visits. I really look forward to having Olivia petsit Maya again!”

“Archie absolutely adores his Wenxin and her whole family. The second he sees that we are pulling up to her house he starts to pull on his seatbelt. Not so much as a "goodbye" when he darts off to see his friends. We could not be happier to have found her!”
“My dog had a wonderful time! Bonnie was incredibly accommodating and caring, and did a great job with a working breed — they had lovely walks and plenty of playtime together. I loved getting pictures and videos throughout the day, such a nice touch. She also sent updates on eating and snacking. Highly recommend for daycare!”
“Michael is such an amazing dog care provider. He really tunes in to the needs of your dog and is very pleasant to work with. He was kind, accommodating and friendly with me and our dog. He sent great photos, and was very communicative about how the visit was going and afterwards. We will enjoy a visit w Michael and his cute dog soon! You can feel confident that Michael will take very good care of your doggy! Liza”
“Ashish was great! We did a Meet and Greet a few days before so Penny could meet Andy. We met Andy and Ashish’s son - both were so sweet 🥰😍 I would definitely recommend his services for doggie daycare. He sent pics and Penny seemed to enjoy herself in his lovely backyard - it was a nice sunny day.”
“Very Grateful! We were commuting to watch our son’s game, and our pet sitter canceled on us last minute. I contacted Leslie in the early morning and she promptly accepted. I can tell Rex had a great time with Leslie and family. They were very caring, professional and friendly.”
“I left my dog Kenai with Yvonne for daycare today for the first time. Yvonne is a wonderful dog sitter! She communicates well, is easy to work with, pays attention to the details of your dog's care, and is very attentive to your pet. I feel very fortunate to have found Ivonne and will definitely request daycare or boarding with her again. Highly recommend!”

I helped take care of my disabled neighbors dog for 2-3 years as a teen before before becoming a dog owner of my own.

“I have an anxious senior pup who hasn't spent much time apart from my partner and I since adopting him a few months ago (in large part due to his anxiety). I did a pre-meeting with Zoe to make sure it would be a good fit for the pup and then we completed the booking. While my pup still let me know later in the day he was mad I left him, when I picked him up he was happy and bouncing around, but also perfectly happy to go back and hang with her. I think this was the most positive experience possible for Rick and am hopeful the positive experience might help him towards being less anxious when we leave him in the future (every positive experience helps I hope!). I would and will definitely book again with her as long as she's available and accepts him again! Also to note, she was very flexible with our pick up time which I appreciated - I had mentioned I might be able to pick the dog up early, and then when I was able to I messaged her that day and picked him up 3 hours early to hopefully make it easier on Rick. That for sure saved me some time instead of needing to pick him up and hitting rush hour on my way home. She was also very helpful and provided feedback to me on Rick's behavior at my request so I have a good handle on how his anxiety and overall behavior is progressing as we try to work through it. Thanks again Zoe (and Partner!)! I really appreciate y'all.”
“Really lovely family and will choose them again when we come back! They took such good care of our baby and send lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. You could tell our dog really liked his time there. Thank you!!”

“Gabby did a great job with my dog, Murphy! Murphy’s a rescue chihuahua mix who takes awhile to warm up to new people. I know it was not easy, but Gabby got him out for two walks while I had to travel out of town for the day. I really appreciated Gabby’s patience with him and it was a relief to know he was in good hands.”

Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands.

We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life and a huge dog lover, I understand how hard it can be to leave your little bestfriend even for a couple hours! Im used to very active big dog who need lots of exercise and play time, but of course I love the little pups as well! I love to be a pet sitter that teaches your pup new tricks & overall spend time with them. If you are looking for a pet sitter who will integrate your doggies life with my life im your girl!

About: I've worked my entire 30+ year career taking care of people and their animals. I've five years in private in-home care for seniors, eight years in childcare, and over 10 years caring for the pets of my friends, family, and relations thereof. Cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even a pair of ferrets! I'm pretty good at connecting and animals tend to read that. I'm all about healthy treats, balanced food options, great nutrition, and appropriate exercise; and as a former chef and caregiver, I love cooking for pets too! While I don't currently have any pets of my own, I'm also happy to just chill out with your pet for anxiety reducing calm and comfort. Need someone to be attentive and sensitive to your pet's needs? I'm your Girl! I'm currently working remotely, part-time Tuesday through Thursday. My work is pretty flexible and I can take it with me wherever I go, though I do require notice so I can prepare and make adjustments if needed. I'm open to negotiating outside of calendar hours listed. Just reach out and ask! If I'm unable to make it work, I'll let you know. I'm a fun-loving soul that, simply, adores animals! I'm happy to care for your pup or meowser at your East Bay home. I can stay or stop by to play, spend quality time, or just water, feed, and walk your furry friend if that's what you need. While I haven't any formal medical training for pets, I'm detail oriented and good with instructions. I'm here to help out, so if you have any questions about special needs, just ask.
“We loved how easy it was to use Sarita! She has a few people there helping with the dogs so they are never alone and my dogs we're excited to go inside. There's a good backyard that is enclosed so I feel that my dogs are safe there! We will be using them again for much longer and I can't wait to get updates.”
“Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”
