“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Miya is simply the best! This was our puppy's first time staying with someone who wasn't family. Miya updated us with pics and notes to share how our pup was doing. She double checked all of our instructions. She even cleaned out our pup's eyes each day. She is thorough and thoughtful. She definitely loves dogs, and we will continue to go to her as much as possible!”
“Justin was absolutely amazing with Haze! She was very anxious and this was her first time ever staying with a sitter for a longer overnight, so we were definitely nervous. Justin made the whole experience so much easier with great communication—he kept us consistently updated and sent lots of pictures, which meant so much since we missed her. He was also very flexible with our schedule. By the end of her stay, Haze was completely comfortable with him, which says everything. We highly recommend Justin!”
“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Mir and her family were great with Cookie. She did check in and let me know how cookie was doing over the 3 days and sent pictures. We will definitely use her again should Cookie need a sitter.”
“Lety is amazing! This was the first time I left Duke overnight and he did so good! Lety made sure to send updates about Duke throughout the day, and each day. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”
“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”
“Yuanyuan and her family were incredible doggy sitters! We received daily photo and video updates at every feeding, walk, playtime, and bedtime! We are so, so grateful for the amount of effort they put into sending updates! They followed our care instructions EXACTLY. We had such peace of mind throughout our week-long vacation knowing Sammy was totally cared for! Yuanyuan’s kids are so cute and played with Sammy as well 😊 and Binky, their huskie, is a calm dog and gets along well with any guests! Sammy looked like he enjoyed himself as much as we did! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“As always an excellent and truly an “dog father “. Having a peace of mind leaving my Tobi with Michael is truly exceptional. Thank you so much Michael for all the love and care with our furry babies.God Bless”
“Edith was wonderful! When we dropped Lenny off, we had a good impression that she was responsible, caring, and loved dogs - we knew Lenny was in good hands! She constantly sent pictures and updates while we were gone and it seemed like he had a blast with the other dogs. She has a big and open backyard for Lenny and the other dogs to run and play together. Edith was also accommodating to our drop-off/pick-up times. We're looking forward to having Lenny stay with Edith again!”

“Aaron took such wonderful care of my two indoor cats! They are not used to being boarded normally so I wasn’t sure how they would do in a new setting. Aaron was very detailed in asking questions about them and letting me know how the cats’ setup would be to help them get adjusted at his place. He was very understanding that they might have been skittish or scared and from the photos he shared they were venturing out and exploring! I really appreciate his help taking care of my fur babies when I’m not home and will definitely use his services again.”
“Payton was great! Very reliable and developed good rapport with my cat. She informed me when the cat was developing a rash on her neck. I will definitely have her back as schedules allow!”

“Mindi did such a wonderful job of making sure my cat was well-cared for while I was gone. He gets really anxious when I’m away, and I could tell that she did a great job playing with him because he was calmer than normal once I came back. She also made sure he had water and a clean litter box everyday. I really recommend Mindi if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet!”

“had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi. I truly love spending time with animals and would be happy to care for your furry family member while you’re away. While I don’t have professional experience on Rover yet, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s needs and mood. I grew up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I can care for your pet in your home, which helps them feel more comfortable and less anxious while you’re away. Staying in their familiar environment keeps them calm and happy, and I make sure to provide attention, playtime, and a safe, loving atmosphere throughout the visit.

About: I’ve cared for cats in both single cat and multi cat homes, with experience managing feeding special diets, litter box sanitation, enrichment, and basic grooming. I understand feline body language and stress signals and adjust my approach based on each cat’s personality whether that means giving space to a shy cat or interactive play for a social one. I’m comfortable with giving medication and senior cat support. Cleanliness and routine are extremely important to me, and I always ensure litter areas, food bowls, and water sources are maintained. As a cat parent myself, I know one of the most stressful parts of leaving your pet is assuring they’re cared for, and you’ll receive detailed, reassuring updates during and after each visit.

“Always can trust Whitney to check on my dog while I’m away! She has walked and visited my dog a few times and is great at following instructions. My dog is always happy to see her.”
About: Dogs have always been family to me—not just pets. I raised my Chihuahua mix, Lala, from the time she was a puppy and helped care for Grace, a rescue pit bull who came to us extremely underweight. Watching Grace transform from skin and bones into a healthy, confident, loving dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. I also care for my friend's Chihuahua, Coco, whom I treat like my own. Through caring for Lala, Grace, and Coco, I've learned that every dog has a unique personality. Some are energetic, some are cautious, and others simply want to be close to someone they trust. I take the time to understand each pet and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience includes preparing high-quality meals, providing fresh water, bathing, brushing teeth, monitoring behavior, giving plenty of affection, and making sure each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I believe the best care goes beyond meeting basic needs—it's about creating an environment where pets feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them with the same patience, love, and attention I gave Grace, Lala, and Coco. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, overnight boarding, or house sitting, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and personalized care. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give belly rubs, play with them, clean up after them, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including a rescue pit bull and Chihuahuas. I understand that every pet is unique, and l'll care for yours with patience, love, and respect-just like they're part of my own family
“He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care you do. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Caring for my own dog has also taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra space or a calmer approach. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pup’s preferred walking times, whether they need morning exercise, midday breaks, or evening strolls. As a dog mom, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I provide patient, attentive walks focused on safety and happiness.
About: I care for pets the same way I care for children with patience, structure, warmth, and lots of positive energy and I also communicate with owners a similar fashion. I’m currently working part-time looking for more full-time employment I am a graduate student and this summer I’ll have a bit more time on my time on my hands. And they seem like a great way to get some extra steps and make some money and provide a service to others. Like I mentioned earlier, I treat pets just as if I was caring for someone’s children so any additional or instructions needed that will help me get to know your pet better and just making sure that all their needs an owner as possible. Concerns are met would be much appreciated. While in my care, I will definitely care for them as my own trust that your pets are safe with me.
“Shang is great! I always feel so comfortable and happy having her pick up and walk my pup! He always has a great time! 🐾 Shang always sends picture and text updates and is very thorough:)”
About: Hi! I truly love spending time with animals and would be happy to care for your furry family member — whether that means a relaxed walk or attentive care while you’re away. While I don’t have professional experience on Rover yet, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s needs and mood. I grew up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very flexible and can care for your pet at any time of the day — morning or evening. I’m comfortable walking or spending time outdoors in all kinds of weather, whether it’s hot or cool. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy and safe. I can care for your pet in your home, which helps them feel more comfortable and less anxious while you’re away. Staying in their familiar environment keeps them calm and happy, and I make sure to provide attention, playtime, and a safe, loving atmosphere throughout the visit.
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs since I was 10 years old, including my own dog as well as many of our neighbors growing up. We lost our dog in 2023, he was 13 years old and had him since 2010. I spent the most time with him, giving him his walks everyday, and had a big contribution in training him when he was younger. I always made sure that each dog that I took care of ate well, always had water, and received plenty of exercise. My mother and I handle the petsitting together. She works from home so she handles boarding and daycare through the daytime. I work a 9-5 job from Monday to Friday. Overall, there is always one of us that is available everyday of the week to handle petsitting duties in our daily and weekly routine. We have a fenced backyard with a lot of open space. We will also allow the dog to come inside if needed. We also have a lot of extra toys in the house for the dog to play with.
About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, WELL-TRAINED SMALL PUPS. As a cat sitter first and foremost, I only accept ONE dog PER booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care and attention. Though I'm newer to dog care, I'm patient, attentive, and eager to provide a safe, calm environment for dogs who are easygoing and enjoy a relaxed routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. My heart is with cats, but I'm always happy to give well-mannered dogs the love and attention they deserve too! I'm currently open and have a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. Because I may be caring for other pets throughout the day, I can't always guarantee an exact visit time. If your requested time is already booked, I'll reach out as soon as possible to see if there's a nearby time that works for you. If your pet needs medication or has a strict schedule, please let me know in your booking request so I can make sure I can accommodate their needs. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.
“Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!”

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!
About: Animals are a different kind of "special". They love unconditionally. "We can judge the heart of a human, by the treatment to their animals". I am one that is very scepticle on who looks after my animals; because i know that noone will ever take care or love my animals the way my fiance and I do. Animals are my therapy and my love for them will never go unnoticed:) I will love your animals the way I love my own❤ Im currently working from home 3 days a week and in office 2 days a week. Sometimes i work from Monday through Friday, it just depends. Im willing to see what availability is needed and work with your schedule. I have weekends off and can do some drop ins or walks after 5pm. Just send me a message and we can discuss any details of what you're needing:) I am able to do in-home service care, drop in visits and dog walking; I feel as though the pets being in their own enviorment is also more comfortable for them:)
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits etc. I believe animals come into our lives to make it better and to give us unconditional love. I have trained all my puppies as well as cared for my parents elderly Bullmastiff. I am very sensitive to the needs of pets and can feel when something is wrong. My schedule is open Monday - Sunday, I am a stay at home fur mom and I can not wait to meet your fur baby. All of my cats and dogs are indoor. I believe that is the safest way to keep them healthy and protected. However, if your fur baby is outside I will make sure all gates, doors are closed, locked and secure!
About: After a few years focused on other animal care work, I’m happy to be actively pet sitting again. I recently moved back to Lincoln, and I will begin offering pet care services again beginning August 2026. In addition to years of pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked professionally in many animal care settings, including veterinary, sanctuary, boarding, and rescue for the last seven years. These settings have taught me the importance of prioritizing safety, observation, consistency, and following detailed care protocols accurately. I have years of experience with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs and understand that trust cannot be rushed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, use their preferred treats or familiar cues, avoid known triggers, and give them the space or extra reassurance they need to feel comfortable. I also have a special interest in exotic and multi species pet care. I personally have two cats and a leopard gecko and have hands on experience and good foundational husbandry knowledge with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’m open to caring for many species, and willing to learn any of their specific routine and husbandry requirements beforehand. One of my biggest priorities is following instructions carefully and accurately. I know small details can make a big difference, especially with medications, feeding routines, behavioral needs, enclosure care, or pets with specific safety precautions. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I work full time in animal care on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays. On those days, I’m available after work for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I have more flexibility on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and can often accommodate daytime care on those days as well. I plan my Rover bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine ahead of time and make sure their care schedule is something I can reliably accommodate. For overnight stays, I do my best to keep feeding, medications, walks, and bedtime routines as close to normal as possible. Safety is always my first priority. Before opening doors or gates, I make sure pets are safely secured, and I always double-check that collars, harnesses, leashes, and other gear fit properly before leaving the home. I follow household and care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walking precautions, behavioral triggers, enclosure care, and any special routines your pet may have. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or anything else that may be important to communicate to you. I currently only provide care in my clients’ homes, which also allows pets to stay in the environment and routine they already know.

“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Justin was absolutely amazing with Haze! She was very anxious and this was her first time ever staying with a sitter for a longer overnight, so we were definitely nervous. Justin made the whole experience so much easier with great communication—he kept us consistently updated and sent lots of pictures, which meant so much since we missed her. He was also very flexible with our schedule. By the end of her stay, Haze was completely comfortable with him, which says everything. We highly recommend Justin!”
“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Mir and her family were great with Cookie. She did check in and let me know how cookie was doing over the 3 days and sent pictures. We will definitely use her again should Cookie need a sitter.”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”
“Derek and Leslie were awesome with my Lucy! They sent daily updates and pictures and made sure that she was comfortable with the family. They only had their own dog, which was nice that it wasn't a "dog hotel". I will be contacting them again in the near future.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”
“Victoria was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter for our cat, Piper! We loved getting her picture updates and every photo showed Piper looking happy and completely comfortable. We truly appreciate the wonderful care she provided, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Piper was safe and well-cared for while we were on vacation. Highly recommend!”
“I'm so grateful to Alexandra for looking after Peaches while we were away for the Fourth of July weekend. She accommodated our dog’s needs amid the Independence Day festivities, and I appreciate how well she was taken care of.”
“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“Manuel is our life saver and thankful he was able to sit our GSD last minute. Manuel send photos and kept us updated which was amazing. Thank you for giving us a peace a mind from the very start to the end. For those reading this, do not hesitate and I would definitely recommend anyone for leaving their fur baby with Manuel.”
“Would highly recommend Davis and his wife for pet sitting again. My Thor loved them and even my cat Venom who tends to hate men loved them as well! 😅 Already have another booking made to use Davis’ services again and will continue using them moving forward. I really enjoyed the daily updates while I was away. Also was very impressed by the living environment/cleanliness so I knew my babies would be properly taken care of. Thanks again and will see you both soon!”
About: I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals with the same love and attention we give to family. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs—from puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring special attention. I have also rescued and rehabilitated dogs and cats, ensuring they received the care, grooming, and affection needed to thrive before finding their forever homes. I’m currently available throughout the week and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet’s needs. Beginning August 22, I’ll be attending college, so there will be certain days and times when I have classes. Outside of my class schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable care and will communicate my availability clearly to ensure we find a schedule that works well for you and your pet. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or weekend services, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, loving, and family-oriented environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My home includes my 3-year-old daughter, 7-month-old son, one friendly small dog, and three cats, so I ask that any pets staying with us are comfortable around children and other animals. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.
