“Mk was amazing! My dog had a great time during the stay, got plenty of attention and playtime. Mk was super attentive, friendly, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and happy. I also got updates throughout the day which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and loving care for their furry friend!”
“Emmeline was an amazing sitter. She watched my dog chico who has many quirks and was able to handle them all without any issues. She sent me tons of photos during the sit which I loved. We definitely want to use her in the future.”
“Celia was very kind, understanding and helpful she accepted my last minute request. Great person and I felt extremely safe leaving my husky with her, she made sure to attend ALL my dogs needs. She made sure my dog was safe and loved for her stay! I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their pet! 10/10 service and very trustworthy.”
“This was our first experience boarding a pet. Nadine was very friendly and took very good care of our English Bulldog. Sent pictures every day and was quick to send a message or answer a question. Thank you Nadine.”
“This was my first time booking on Rover so I was anxious luckily Allison agreed to a meet and greet before booking. I ended up taking both my dogs to her while I was away on vacation and I had no issues. She is very responsive and sends updates daily- which I loved. Both my pups seemed to fit right in with hers and when I came back they were as happy as they were when I left - no doubt they were shown a lot a love that they didn’t even have time to miss us.lol”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Ana was super patient with our finicky dog Blitzen and it is appreciated. Ana laundered Blitzen’s blanket after a potty accident sometimes experienced by older dogs. Her time and attention to her “boarders” is evident.”
“Tracy and her family was awesome to Bella. They treated her like their own. Tracy sent photos and videos everyday. Bella was treated better than anyone outside of my who took care of her. We will definitely use Tracy again. Thanks again Tracy Jim and Dawn”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“I chose Margerita as my sitter the first time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is terrific. Even though it was last minute, she helped our family and we were able to attend a wedding out-of-town without worry. She even sent photos of him having a blast!-Camille D.”

About: I believe taking care of a dog is like taking care of a baby, only with fur. I have 9 plus yrs of experience with dogs. I’ve dog sat for family & friends.

I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Was a fabulous experience my dog was so happy. I was sent lots of pictures and videos showing how great Frodo was doing. Would definitely recommend Rana. I would definitely use her again”
“I think Amy is a wonderful person to board your dog with. After having a meet and greet, I decided she was the right person to book. During my dog's stay w/ Amy, I received many updates with pictures. It put me at ease knowing my dog is feeling comforted and is still getting a balanced lifestyle while I'm gone for a few days. At the time of this review, I am booked with Amy for another weekend of boarding. Definitely recommend.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and understand that each one has a unique personality and routine. I have experience feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, providing playtime and enrichment, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s space, whether they’re social and playful or shy and independent. As a Veterinary Technician student, I’m also expanding my knowledge of feline health and behavior to provide the best care possible.
“Ashanti was awesome with our excitable and emotional pibbles named Ruby. Ruby immediately warmed up to her. As an equally anxious dog Mom and I knew she’d be a great hands. Two thumbs and two paws up for Ashanti!”
About: I have 11 years of cat care-taking experience! I have two beautiful bonded cats, Luna and Rui. My cats are indoors-only, so I know how to keep kitties who are strictly indoors from ever going outside. I feed my cats on a schedule, 3 times a day, and their food is always measured out, so if your cat's food schedule is similar, I have lots of experience with that. I also ensure all cat litters are cleaned at least once daily to ensure a pristine kitty bathroom! (: I absolutely love cats, and I have experience taking care of my own cats and friend's cats. I can't wait to meet and care for your baby!
“Chelsea was very responsive and sent wonderful pictures and videos. Our cat, which warms up to no one. Feel completely in with Chelsea. I highly recommend her ace will be reaching out again when future needs arise”
“Bethany is a godsend!! She helped with our spicy meatball Poe, a cat that normally gets very stressed when we leave. We came back and Poe was happy. I highly recommend Bethany!”
About: Hello, I am an animal lover with a pretty flexible schedule and a heart full of compassion. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I am present and fun and guarantee your fur babies will love their time with me! I enjoy spending time with animals and playing outdoors with them for long and short periods of time and also understand dogs have emotions just like people and need love just the same. I truly believe your pets will enjoy their time with me and will be very well taken care of while in my care. I understand how stressful vacation planning can already be and look forward to helping out with your fur babies in anyway possible. Talk to you soon! I’m currently working part-time (school hours) and have plenty of time to play and care for your pets after work. That is if they still have energy after spending all morning with my hubby, as he works nights. I am pretty much free after 3pm on weekdays. As for the month of June I am available after 1pm and completely available for the month of July. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them time to explore the outdoors. I am patient and am able to keep up with high energy pets as well. I use baby gates in my home for safety and access.
“Coming home to happy, healthy kitties only happens because of Tally! The confidence she gives us when we have to leave them, is such a good feeling. I’d give her 10/5 stars if I could!”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a little girl. I have two dogs of my own. My oldest, Whiskey, is four years old and my youngest, Milo, is about a year and a half. Whiskey is very much a couch potato and is highly attached to me. Milo is the complete opposite. He has so much energy and doesn’t understand the meaning of relaxation. With Milo, there’s never a dull moment so trust me when I say I have seen it all. I currently work part-time and go to school so pet care works with my availability as my schedule is always changing. I also love animals of all types and so getting to play with puppies and kittens is a dream come true. I don’t currently offer any overnight sittings but I’m hoping once I build a good reputation on this app that I can offer that soon. I have two dogs that are complete opposites of each other so I have learned what works best for both of my animals. My youngest dog needs a lot of walks, attention, and enrichment. I keep plenty of enrichment toys around my house to ensure that he is getting the proper care that he needs. My older dog is a couch potato and it does not take much to keep him happy, as long as he has food, water, and a comfortable space to lay down he’s good to go.
About: I have cats myself and most of them are special needs. I’ve raised cats and bottle fed kittens for 5+ yrs. If needed I am familiar with medications for cats and can administer them with the owners consent. I can clean litter boxes and am familiar with deep cleaning supplies.
About: I’ve cared for cats for 30 years and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of their space, whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats the attention they want (and space when they don’t). I also have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I aim to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away.
“Teresa is awesome. I was afraid my Charlie wouldn’t want me to come home. Teresa gave great updates, was punctual and very loving to my beloved Charlie. I was able to relax while on vacation…I would highly recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Melissa is a nice care giver! She would meet me 1 day before the walk starts to know Zoy and learn everything needs to know about Zoy. During the stay, she always keep the communication channel open and responds in no delay. We experienced the hottest weather in Bay Area, Mellisa make sure the fan is on max speed and air flows as well as leave plenty water for Zoy. Also provides professional observation and updated to me on how Zoy took the heat!! I was on business travel and she really took care of Zoy and eased on my worrisome mind. Highly recommend her!! Thank you Mellisa!!”
“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”
About: I’ve always owned dogs and cats and I’ve always been an animal lover. My mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said that I want to play the piano for puppies. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I applied myself and went to school to become a Veterinary Assistant. And yes; I bathe my cat before applying flea meditation. Need a weekend getaway or a date night. I’m available on the week days. I am looking for a second job and with my experience this seems like a perfect fit for me. I will follow guidelines/standards set by you! Also, your animal can tell me the when, where, and for how long we should eat, sleep, play, walk, ect.

“Jori was a great dog sitter for our pup. She was responsive and sent updates of our dog playing with hers. I would highly recommend her to care for your dogs and will reach out again when we need our dog to be watched.”
“She was able to take on my last minute request , thankfully because she works from home. I really appreciate the flexibility for my literal last minute request. We appreciate her working around our late night pick up. She was nice enough to communicate and coordinate with me around her kid’s evening activities, which I appreciate a lot given the fact that I ended up being late for my original pick up time.”
“Steve is an excellent dog sitter, would highly recommend. He’s well versed in dog caretaking and went above and beyond keeping us updated throughout the day. Drop off and pick up was seamless, our dog was so happy at the end of the day. Zero stress! Absolutely will ask Steve to dog sit again!”
“We are grateful that we have been able to depend on Allison to help with caring for our pup while we work and when we are out of town. She is very flexible when our travel times have had to change. We have a pandemic rescue that has bouts of anxiety. We appreciate that she is patient and loving with him and understands his behavior. We highly recommend her as a sitter.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates. We do prefer the animal to have a crate we can put them in or we can provide one too.

I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates.

About: I've had animals all my life, big, small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have been caring for client pets in a professional manner for about 2 1/2 to 3 years and continue to do so everyday! I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I have experience working as a kennel attendant, some background in vet tech (no degree) and I have been a pet sitter for about 2 1/2 years. I have recently opened up my availability to accept more clients and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home! Treats are always giving if allowed and lots of attention of course. For house sittings, I also include plant watering services, making sure mail and packages are brought in and that the house is clean before you get home!
About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family. I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
About: I’ve been around pets since I was a little girl. I have two dogs of my own. My oldest, Whiskey, is four years old and my youngest, Milo, is about a year and a half. Whiskey is very much a couch potato and is highly attached to me. Milo is the complete opposite. He has so much energy and doesn’t understand the meaning of relaxation. With Milo, there’s never a dull moment so trust me when I say I have seen it all. I currently work part-time and go to school so pet care works with my availability as my schedule is always changing. I also love animals of all types and so getting to play with puppies and kittens is a dream come true. I don’t currently offer any overnight sittings but I’m hoping once I build a good reputation on this app that I can offer that soon. I have two dogs that are complete opposites of each other so I have learned what works best for both of my animals. My youngest dog needs a lot of walks, attention, and enrichment. I keep plenty of enrichment toys around my house to ensure that he is getting the proper care that he needs. My older dog is a couch potato and it does not take much to keep him happy, as long as he has food, water, and a comfortable space to lay down he’s good to go.

“Mk was amazing! My dog had a great time during the stay, got plenty of attention and playtime. Mk was super attentive, friendly, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and happy. I also got updates throughout the day which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable and loving care for their furry friend!”
“This was our first experience boarding a pet. Nadine was very friendly and took very good care of our English Bulldog. Sent pictures every day and was quick to send a message or answer a question. Thank you Nadine.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Ana was super patient with our finicky dog Blitzen and it is appreciated. Ana laundered Blitzen’s blanket after a potty accident sometimes experienced by older dogs. Her time and attention to her “boarders” is evident.”
“Tracy and her family was awesome to Bella. They treated her like their own. Tracy sent photos and videos everyday. Bella was treated better than anyone outside of my who took care of her. We will definitely use Tracy again. Thanks again Tracy Jim and Dawn”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”

I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”

“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
About: I’ve been dog walking almost all my life, growing up with dogs. Since 2023 I’ve been dog sitting neighbors dogs and taking care of their house while they are gone. I am currently a student at MJC, so my schedule is busy in mornings but avalaible after my classes. I will make my time avalaible devoted on what is needed for the dog. I have a beautiful neighborhood perfect for walking a dog. My house is safe with no where for the dog to run away or harm itself.
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”

I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment.
