“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“Thank you Isaac and Jordan for taking such great care of Max! My dog has a lot of separation anxiety and can be a bit of a handful at times, but Isaac and Jordan did a great job making sure he got a lot of care and attention throughout his stay. I got a lot of great pictures and updates throughout his stay, and they even have a large doggy play-place and potty area where Max got to play and meet other fur friends.”
“Alex did a great job looking after our dog for 3 weeks. We received regular updates and pictures throughout the trip which made us feel at ease She is quick with communications when coordinating pickup/dropoff. Overall we had a great experience and would book with Alex again!”
“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”
“It was our first time rover-ing with our new dog so we were a little nervous but they took great care of Francine! It’s clear that they are dog lovers and made Francine feel right at home. We got a ton of pictures and they even helped coordinate pick up with a friend of ours while we were still out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rosco loves Nasreddine and she is always so accommodating and consistent. She shows him a lot of kindness and I was told Rosco settles right in when he arrives. I am super appreciative of Nareddine’s reliability and consistency and would highly recommend.”
“Lee took such good care of Daniel on his first overnight with other pups in the house! I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, since Daniel is pretty shy, but Lee was very reassuring and sent lots of updates. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Kelly was the best sitter that I could ask for! She went above and beyond taking care of Tori and communicating with us how Tori is doing during our whole trip. I was so relieved during the trip and did not worry at all during the travel. Kelly probably took better care of Tori than myself haha. Thank you again Kelly for all the help taking care of our doggy and Tori will be looking forward for another pawsome vacation next time when we are out of town!”

“Alexis was great. Very communicative and was able to take care of my dog that had many special needs, many medications to take, and a specific routine needing to follow. I highly recommend booking with Alexis!”
“Danielle provided wonderful care for our anxious little dog, Blondie. Both she and her partner are equal parts capable and kind. Their house & yard are set-up perfectly to keep the dogs in their care active, happy & safe. We will definitely bring our dog back in the future.”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
About: Hi! I’m Alejandra! I’m a WFH dog mom based in downtown Oakland who treats every dog as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone else, so I care for each pup the same way I’d want my own dog cared for: with love, patience, and attention. Because I work from home, your dog will get plenty of supervision, cuddles, and a calm, home-style environment. I love staying in touch with pet parents and regularly send photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing. While I don’t have a private yard, I live in a dog-friendly building with a secure, fenced dog park, and I take dogs out frequently for walks and supervised play (with owner approval). My goal is for both you and your dog to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away, and I’m always happy to schedule a meet & greet 🐾 **For house-sitting/dog walking/check in bookings, I come alone — I do not bring my dog with me. This allows your pup to stay in their own familiar space with my full attention and care I work from home but My world revolves around my dog. What he says goes lol jk but I do love to do things that include him and other pups and make them as happy as possible bc they truly deserve it. I provide a calm, loving home environment and follow each dog’s routine closely. I focus on safety, supervision, positive reinforcement, and making every dog feel comfortable and cared for. My apartment building has it's own private dog park we can safely enjoy as well, I have my own dog at home, so I’m careful about slow introductions and only accept dogs that are friendly with other dogs.
“Mary is absolutely fantastic! She is responsive, a joy to work with, and clearly cares about the dogs in her care thriving and being as comfortable as possible. Finn had a wonderful stay and we are just so thankful to have found Mary. Recommend 100000%!”
“Erika is an exceptional doggie sitter! My four-legged baby, Nova, is a lively and energetic puppy—full of joy, love, and a whole lot of personality. She can definitely be a handful at times, but Erika handles her with such calm, patient energy that it’s truly impressive. Nova absolutely adores spending time with her and loves being part of the pack. The daily updates and delightful stories Erika shares are a highlight of my day and always bring a smile to my face. Knowing that Nova is in such caring and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. Erika is truly wonderful!”

“Cyvanah did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty. Made sure he was well fed, clean, and had lots of activity. Great communication, followed all notes, great photos!!”
“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”
“Stephanie did a great job with our cats. She was very attentive to details during the initial meet and greet and went beyond the instructions we gave an helped even clean up after our cats when they got messy. She was detailed in her visit summary and overall did exactly what we expect from a sitter and a little more.”
About: I've been around and taken care of cats for over 7 years, and I also have a 4 year old cat of my own named Mango! Because I'm a long time cat owner, I really know how to read their body language and understand their moods, whether they want to play, snuggle, or just need some space. I’m super clean and detail oriented when it comes to scooping litter, keeping things fresh, and sticking to feeding routines (I’m very familiar with premium diets and raw/freeze, dried food, too!). I know how much cats love their comfort zones, so I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'll treat them just like my own!
“Danielle was the perfect cat sitter! She set up a pre-sitting meet-and-greet, and I could tell right away that my cats felt safe and comfortable with her. Throughout the sitting, she sent thoughtful and thorough updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I felt completely confident leaving my pets in her care. I would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Ayanna took great care of my 2 cats! She was very responsive, sent videos to check how she gave my cat medication, and lots of photos, I’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets, currently have a senior St. Bernard named Denali, and over the years I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for friends, neighbors, and family🤗 I know every cat has their own personality and I’m happy to meet them where they are; whether that means playtime and enrichment, quiet companionship, keeping routines consistent, or simply giving them space and making them feel safe while you’re away. I can help with feeding, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), play sessions, check-ins, cuddles on their terms, and keeping you updated so you can relax knowing they’re cared for 💌
“Celeste was fantastic! We have 4 cats with big personalities and she was so great at getting to know all of them over the course of the 8 days she house sat for us. She provided very detailed summaries of their days/nights, and navigated some of the trickier nuances of our situation like an absolute pro: medication administration, some inter-cat tension we've been dealing with, and making sure everyone got adequate individual attention. We also had a house issue come up while we were gone which she handled so well and was great at giving us updates. It was such a relief to have a proactive problem solver watching our boys and the house. We have another upcoming trip and will absolutely be rebooking with Celeste.”
“I always come home to happy cats whenever Jessica helps out. I have one skittish cat that just loves her! It’s a happy surprise that he warmed up to her so quickly & makes me feel better while I’m out of town. Thank you!!”
“We love Reijun! She always sends us plenty of photos and updates when she does her drop-ins, she's very friendly and reliable, and the cats get plenty of playtime and affection. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin is wonderful and super kind! There was continuous dialogue and I appreciate Kevin’s patience and follow through! Definitely looking forward to working with Kevin again the future!”
“Akiko is an absolute angel. She was so sensitive and patient and sweet with my little kitty Pistachio, I am really impressed. I am really thankful to her for sending little photos and videos of my cat because like any pet owner I miss her when I'm away and I love seeing that she's happy and doing well. Akiko also did house sitting for me and went above and beyond to make sure the place looked nice when I returned home from my trip. Really, stop looking at reviews and just request Akiko already :-)”
“I was super stressed about finding a sitter for my 11 week old pup last minute for an all day training at work, and even more nervous about having a stranger visit my place! But Alejandra had fantastic reviews and even initiated meet & greet, which I really appreciated. And when she came to meet me and MoMo - boy, did my puppy LOVE her immediately, which made ME love her too!! :) Finally, on the day of the appointment, Alejandra showed up on time, followed all my requests, and took such good care of my puppy for an hour. TYSM Alejandra, I will book with you again next time MoMo needs a sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Alyssa was so great with my two cats. She had excellent communication, reliable, and super friendly! I really appreciated her willingness to coordinate a meet and greet with my mother while I was away, and would highly highly recommend her for any one needing a cat sitter. My girls loved her!”
“Cindy did an absolutely fantastic job as a cat sitter for our sometimes difficult Claude!! She was very professional and responsive to set up our first meeting, and then did a great job with him while she was here. She sent cute photos and videos, cleaned his litter, put up with some July 4 animal stress, and even proactively identified and resolved a potential concern. On top of all this, she managed a somewhat complicated security system without a hitch and was unfazed by our house being partially under renovation. We will 100% hire Cindy again if we can, and we would strongly recommend her services!”
“Viola took great care of our sweet boy while we were away for a week. She sent thoughtful notes and lots of pictures daily. She even took in our mail! Lazlo was relaxed and happy when we got home, a sure sign he'd gotten lots of love and playtime while we were gone. We'll definitely call Viola when we go out of town again!”

I cannot thank her and her husband enough ❤️ she sent constant photos ,videos and updates throughout the day. Also, their puppy Nemo is adorable and so very friendly.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for several pets at home. Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’m very comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and giving animals lots of love and attention. My husband and I truly love animals and enjoy being around them My husband works from home, and I’m usually home as well, so pets will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. Our weekdays are very flexible, and we can easily adapt our routine to give pets the care, attention, walks, and comfort they need. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, comfort, and supervision. Since I’ve always lived with dogs, I understand how important patience, affection, and trust are when caring for animals.
About: Looking for a personal oasis for your pet? 💛 —- Look no further in having a responsible animal lover dote on your pet. —- ** Only Taking Pet Sitting Requests 1-2 weeks in Advance Notice ** —- **with Pet and Owner Profiles Fully Filled Out* + **an Initial Phone or Video Call, then Meet and Greet in Person** - Thank you! — I grew up around two chihuahas, a german shepard, and two friendly pomeranians at my aunt and uncle’s house. Playing, giving them treats, and making sure they stayed within neighborhood bounds were a regular for my brother and me. I’ve also had the honor to house sit for a variety of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for the needs of senior cats to playful pups to independent rescues, to mischievous kittens. With this experience, I am happy to care for and get to know more of your beloved furred ones! … It is also a special interest of mine to do training for dogs. I believe in using Positive Reinforcement and loving gentleness when it comes time to handling animals. I’m currently working towards getting my CBATI-KA through Grisha Stewart’s Academy and becoming Fear Free certified. I love continually learning through different trainers and educators under the CCPDT’s guidelines of LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimal Aversive). —- I also was certified with Pet CPR Aid with ProHero Training. —- Let’s book a Meet & Greet! Scheduling: I work as a FT freelancer, so please respond in a timely manner and communicate as much in advance, so I can best fit you and your pet into my schedule/space! — Some things I’d like to know from you: When is your best availability for an initial Meet & Greet? What is the size, breed, and temperament of your animal(s)? Are you ok with me posting pics of your pets? — Thank you! + Please note I will always value you and your fur babies’ comfortability first. … Your pet(s) and their personalities are the Star of the show! — Please let me know about your pet’s personal likes/dislikes, favorite toys, treats, any allergies, and/or particular preferences for comfort & joy. I also have experience administering medication, if needed and have experience (for both dogs and cats) with preparing supplements / added medicine to be mixed in with their meals. A personal side interest of mine is also doing training for dogs. So if your dog has any particular behaviors, you’d like to be worked on, let me know and we can work on tackling an issue together.
“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”
About: Hi I’m Damian 👋🏻 I love walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I walk dogs because it’s fun and fulfilling for me. I have flexibility to be available when it is best for you and your pup. I’ll be consistent and very easy to work with! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work remotely. I’m happy to flex my work schedule based on you and your dogs needs! Let me know what works best for you! I will walk your dog and treat your dog as if it were mine! Please share you and your dog’s needs and safety concerns and we can put together a plan. :)
“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”
“Jamie was terrific! My anxious pup fell asleep in her care the first visit which is always such a relief to see! Pick up and drop off were easy. Excellent and clear communication. Thank you! Will book again :)”
“I have no doubt that my baby is in the best hands with Ruthy. I keep coming back to her for Doggie Daycare, and will continue to. She goes above and beyond and trains him on his off-leash skills (something I definitely want him to do better in). She understands Buddy (and her other handsome pups) in a way that is truly unique. Buddy goes running to her in the mornings, which he does not do with most people. It genuinely makes her happy to see Buddy thrive and progress in his skills. She consistently sends photos and videos of their day together and updates me on what they're up to throughout the day, which I LOVE. I am someone who usually stresses about my dog when I'm away from him, but I have such a sense of relief when he is with Ruthy!”
“Brittany was really nice and our dog Burt seemed to do really well with her! At drop off he just went right with her! He got a few walks in and got along with Brittany's dog Basco. Burt generally prefers chill-er companions and it seems like Basco was that. Would definitely return to Brittany for future care.”
“I think my girl Maze had a great day at the doggie lounge. Latricia was wonderful to work with and she has everything figured out - helping Maze get settled in, making friends with another dog, feeding time. Loved the picture updates too. Thanks!! :)”
“Nasreddine is such an amazing dog sitter, I can’t recommend her enough! From working with our schedule to sending us updates on Kay she was on it and fantastic! Highly recommend her to anyone’s pups!!”
“Didem was amazing! She was able to help me watch Lottie with a day’s notice. She also kept me posted on all things Lottie and really wanted to understand her the best she could to make her comfortable. Lottie usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but Lottie warmed up to her almost immediately. I know she had a great time with Didem! I will definitely be reaching out to Didem in the future! Thank you so much for watching Lottie! :)”
About: Hi there! We’re a married couple with no kids, and dogs have always been a big part of our lives. We both grew up in households our whole lives caring for pups of all sizes from energetic German Shepherds, playful Shitzus, and sweet Golden Retrievers! Between Edelis and I, we have over 20 years of experience. After recently moving from LA, we spend our weekends exploring new parks, new neighborhoods, and staying active outdoors around SF. We miss having our own fur babies around, so we’re excited to share our home and plenty of love with yours! Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy downtime, your dog will be treated like family ❤️ Our weekdays are structured yet flexible, and our weekends are completely dedicated to pets. Edelis works downtown Tuesday through Friday from 9–5 as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and I work from home a standard 9–5 schedule at a tech company as a Monetization Strategy Manager. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We live in a clean, non-smoking, dog-friendly one-bedroom apartment with a private outdoor patio. Our home is very tidy, pet-safe, and stays comfortable year round with AC and heating. We’re right across from Patricia’s Green dog park and just a 10-minute walk to Alamo Square Park, so daily walks and park time are part of the routine. We also have a car for transportation including any pet emergencies or vet visits if ever needed. Whether we’re caring for dogs in our home or yours, we follow your pup’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep things consistent. We are more than happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy.

About: My family’s had 2 Havanese dogs a little over 3 years now and I take care of them regularly when they go out for the night or leave town. In addition I occasionally sit for family friends who have a Yorkie and used to watch a neighbor’s cat when she was still with us. Most animals find me agreeable and I try to be consistent and loving with any younger ones so that they’re shaped into the best possible pets. I’ve recently left my long-term job to focus on watching/walking pets. I do some gig work to make ends meet but my main passion right now is animal care. I have a spacious loft apartment in Chinatown Oakland in a very safe neighborhood just a few minutes walk from Lake Merritt. Crating (with one provided for me) in the apartment is an option as well as my sectional couch or rug depending on your animal’s preferences.
“Jay is great with my little guy and he just loves the special attention he receives. Jay has been walking Chipper for a few months and he looks forward to his daily walks! Knowing that he is well cared for and spoiled while I am at work is such a relief.”
“Cindy was great from start to finish and I have recommended her to our neighbors. She was very communicative, sending a photo from every walk and coming over before our trip. She was also very responsible about fixing little problems for us. The usual walk we planned took less than 30 minutes and she used the remaining time to do small chores. We would definitely hire her again.”
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 12+ years. my neighbors, friends, and family have all entrusted me as their official dog and cat sitter because I love them like my own! i’ve been training dogs (unofficially) for a very long time now. i’ve done well as a guiding leader for dogs, with positive reinforcement as i feel it works best. I have experience with more serious problem behaviors but I would want to discuss beforehand what your pet may need from me and if that is something i can effectively offer. the one thing i want to guarantee is that your baby is not only loved and cared for, but also that they are safe and secure in my care and ability! I actively volunteer and foster for Oakland Animal Services for both their dog and cat programs and I feel more than equipt to support your own loved dog or cat. i believe providing in-home care allows your pet to feel truly comfortable in their own home environment. so for in home care i simply do my best to make sure all dogs and cats in my care are given the attention they desire and deserve! this is up to them (and you) of course whether it’s active walks, high engaged excessive, or simply lounging together. I reside in an apartment with my cat who is dog and cat friendly. if a small space such as an apartment isn’t the best for your fur baby, i am happy to babysit in your own home or (for dogs) take them for many walks, field trips, and parks. i am very flexible when it comes to this so it is truly up to you and your comfortability.
“Tea has been an amazing dog sitter for us! She’s always punctual, sends great photos and detailed updates, and truly cares for our pups. Today, she went above and beyond by accommodating a last-minute request.”
“Reijun was amazing!! So attentive and communicative taking care of both our dog and cat at various times while we were away from home for two weeks. We knew from the first meet and greet with our Jack Russell terrier that her energy was perfect for Huey and that he would be well-cared for, and we were not disappointed. Also, when we realized we had missed a day in the original booking when we would need dog walking after we had already left on our trip, she was able to accommodate the change in schedule, which saved a lot of stress on our part. Reijun was great to work with and will definitely book with her again!”

I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“Once again, Ben and his family too such good care of our dog Hank. Ben and his family treat Hank like he’s one of their own. From the moment we drop him up to when we pick him up we can relax knowing he’s in excellent care. We couldn’t recommend Ben and his family more!”
“This was the best boarding I’ve ever done. Reijun was awesome with my dogs. She definitely has a love for animals and they were very comfortable in her care. Will be using you again. Thank you so much.”
“Rob was so great. We had a last minute no-show with another sitter one and a half hours before our vacation. I called customer service and they sent out requests. Rob accepted right away and even picked our german shepherd up. We didn't get a chance to introduce them because we were forced to head to the airport while finding arrangements, and our dog was very much on alert (via the cam) when Rob, a stranger to her, picked her up. He handled it extremely well and safely. He took her on a hike and updated us with happy pictures of her being played with and well exercised. Cant thank him enough, was truly a life saver. thank you Rob!”
“Chad and his family are amazing! Chad was understanding and communicative throughout the Rover process. His place is truly a property filled with trees and plenty of backyard space for your pup to run and sniff around. Chad is a true professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing the dogs he cares for very well. He also seems to be a very down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to be sure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in his care. THANK YOU CHAD & FAM for TLC you showed my family on a holiday weekend. I couldn't have had a better first experience with a Rover sitter. =)”

“Fuliang was fantastic as always! He’s always on time, took great care of my dogs, and left the house perfectly in order. I even made a mistake with my booking, and he was super helpful in getting it fixed—which honestly saved me, lol. The dogs are happy and so am I. We look forward to seeing you again soon—highly recommend!”
“Spunky did a trial overnight stay and Joann was super sweet and welcoming! I got regular updates, photos, and could tell that my dog was truly comfortable and well cared for.”
“Shareese is a top tier pet sitter. She watched my two dogs while I was out of town and was very communicative with sending daily updates. I know she gave them lots of love and attention because they were happy as ever when I picked them up. 10/10 would recommend.”
“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”
“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”
“Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”
