“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“Martina was great! She followed up to everything very quickly and sent pics and updates of our dog often. You can tell that she loves dogs. She even got teary eyed when giving us our dog back! We will definitely use her for future dog sitting needs!”
“Our dogs love Mario. He has been so great with them. It makes me feel better knowing that they are comfortable in his home and he is taking good care of them.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
“Our dog had a great time with Michael & Evie! We actually think he misses them :) They always updates us and send us photos of Kaido without us asking for it. We are really glad we left Kaido with them. Definitely won't be the last time! Thank you again Michael & Evie for taking such good care of our gentle giant 💜”
“Karla was great watching my dog while I was away. She spent extra time to learn more about my dog so she could provide a better care for him. She also kept me posted so I could be sure he’s enjoying staying with Karla ☺️”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ruo host my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Throughout the stay, Ruo kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that Ruo genuinely connected with my dog—so much so that when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to come home! My dog's comfort and happiness were Ruo's top priorities, and it truly showed. I highly recommend Ruo to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“The best service you could possibly ask for. My puppy had some of the most fun of his life staying with Ivan! He got playtime all day, Ivan was super patient with him during his training phase, and I had zero worries. I absolutely recommend Ivan for a high-quality experience and second home for your dog.”
About: Hi, I’m Ana! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. My rescue dog, Chanchito, was part of our family for over 13 years. He recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and while I miss him every day, he taught me how much love, patience, and companionship our pets give us. We recently welcomed our kitten, Kira, into our family, and he’s brought so much happiness to our home. I’ve also been trusted by friends and neighbors to care for their pets while they’re away. I regularly pet sit Alfie for my neighbors, Steve and Janine, and Enzo for my neighbor, Ali. I also care for my friend Kelly’s cats, Coco and Rax, by feeding them, refreshing their water, cleaning the litter box, and spending time with them so they feel loved and comfortable while she’s away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide loving, dependable care before and after work, as well as on weekends. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make time each day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys walks or getting fresh air, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore together. Every pet receives lots of attention, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm condo and only accept one family’s pets at a time so I can give each pet my full attention and help them feel comfortable in a home environment. I currently have a friendly kitten named Kira, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats. Before every boarding stay, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is a great fit. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re staying with a trusted friend, while giving you complete peace of mind through regular updates and photos throughout their stay.
“Annie is a wonderful sitter. She spends a lot of time outside with the pups in her care, gives them homemade treats, she helps to reinforce good behavior, and she sends plenty of photos. My dog Juliet always comes home clean, happy, and ready for a nap. I highly recommend Annie for your next sit.”
“I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.”
“Zoe was wonderful with Thor! He has medication needs and Zoe was patient with Thor and he enjoyed himsefl! Lots of pics and video updates which was really great! Thanks so much!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful! She made the Rover experience so easy and gave us complete peace of mind. She was caring, communicative, reliable, and clearly treated our pup like family. We got great updates and came home to a very happy dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Chelsea to anyone!”
“I could say a lot of positive things about Anna, but I think the most meaningful review would come from my dog: when I pull up to Anna’s house he gets VERY excited and RUNS to her door. And when I come to pick him up he’s happy and healthy.”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”

“Alanna did a great job looking after my cat. She dropped in regularly, sent me a photo, and gave me updated details about her every day. When I returned, kitty looked well fed and happy and the house looked orderly and clean.”
“Chelsea sent great pictures of my cat! It felt great to see a variety of pics so I had an idea of how she was interacting with the cat. They looked very cozy together, which was heartwarming.”

I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”

“Felix is amazing! He is punctual, responsive and caring! My cat loved having him around. He is someone I can trust to take care of my cats and I am so excited to have found him on Rover. 100% recommend him for any cat owners out there who need someone to drop in and take care of their cats.”
“Kayley was extremely responsible, communicative and observant in caring for our two bunnies. The care included house sitting overnights and Kayley was also very respectful of our home. She demonstrated thoughtfulness and flexibility throughout, all with good humor and a smile. Would definitely seek her services again!”

“Kiansu, Was fantastic! She took great care of our cats and our house while we were gone. Kept us updated with photos and texts throughout her stay. Our cats were unfazed by our absence which tells us Kiansu was very present and caring with our spoiled cats. Yay! She left the house immaculate. She was pleasant to interact with and communication was superb! We would be happy to have her come back.”
About: I’m a dog lover who’s all about giving your pup lots of love, play, and care while you’re away. I live in an apartment building right near tons of green spaces and parks, so there’s always a great spot nearby for walks or playtime.

I’m currently taking some time off, so I have plenty of free time every day to give your pup all the attention and playtime they need. Whether it’s long walks, fun games at the park, or just cuddling around the apartment, I’m here to keep your furry friend happy and active throughout the day. Your dog won’t feel lonely or bored when they’re with me and my rescue pup Zoë! I provide loving, personalized care whether your pet stays with me or I visit them at home.

“Pouneh is wonderful! From the beginning, she responded to my messages right away. We did an initial meet and greet at the local park. Nana immediately took to her and her daughters! I knew Nana would be happy and in good hands. Drop off and pick ups: I need to do an early drop off and it’s been super smooth. It’s easy to park in front and get Nana out safely and since we arranged that I send my ETA, Pouneh was already waiting outside ready to take her. Picking her up was also super easy. I texted ETA and she had everything ready with Nana. Again, parking was easy and available in front. Pouneh is very experienced and patient with dogs. She also has extra supplies like bowls, blankets, towels, leashes, etc., making it easier with less things to lug around. Nana looked so relaxed and happy when I picked her up that first day and each day since. I am happy to recommend Pouneh to anyone for doggie care and I will for sure rebook whenever I need an extra hand. Lastly, props to Rover as well. This is a great service and I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve always found great people here with sometimes short notice.”
About: I’m a dog mom to Pepper, my 9-year-old rescue, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry baby with someone else. I’ve cared for friends’ pets for years, and I also have foster experience — I cared for an 18-year-old senior dog for 9 months until he found his forever home:). I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need a slow walk, playtime, senior care, cuddles, or quiet company. I’ll treat your pet like my own and send updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. We work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. We usually do a morning walk, some playtime in our private driveway around lunchtime, and an evening walk or park time. On very hot days, we avoid walking in the middle of the afternoon and prefer safe playtime in our shaded/private driveway instead. We live in a townhouse with a long private driveway, a nearby dog park, and several dog-friendly parks in the neighborhood. It’s a very dog-friendly area, and many of the neighborhood dogs already know and get along with our rescue dog, Pepper. At home, I focus on a calm, safe environment with supervision, patience, and care based on each dog’s personality and comfort level.
“This was the first time I am using Rover and for that matter the first time to ever use a dog sitter. How fortunate are we to have found Chloe. She’s understanding and reassuring that Charlie will be well cared for and I truly believe she was. Chloe is calm and kind. She provided us with photos. ♥️ I won’t hesitate to used Chloe again.”
“Susanne was great with our dogs. This was our first time with doggie day care. Susanne made us all feel reassured and comfortable. She is incredibly attentive and conscientious. We got many messages from her throughout the day. The pups seemed happy and content when we came to get them.”
“Brisket had the best day with Keli and her family and even got to go on a hike to a new to him spot for the best new smells. Keli was very communicative with me and I really appreciated her flexibility in meeting with us ahead of time for a meet and greet. Brisket will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, I used to train my dogs tricks such as hand shaking and sitting down etc. Im currently working part-time, flexible availability. Very detail oriented, love animals of all kinds. Have always lived with pets and knows perfectly how to take care of your kids!! At my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space with lots of attention, play, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I stick to their routine feeding, cleaning, and giving love and care to keep pets happy and relaxed.
“My puppy loves visiting Dalia! When we pull up, she jumps out of the car and runs to the door with excitement. Dalia always makes sure my puppy gets a good walk and a nap in, and she comes home in a great mood.”
“Chelsea is wonderful! She hosted my pup Ollie for daycare and sent cute photos of him having a blast along the way. She’s also very responsive, kind, and accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Lexi! I'm a registered nurse from south Louisiana, currently working a travel contract here in the Bay Area. Taking care of people is what I do for a living, and dogs have had my heart even longer. I grew up surrounded by dogs and my parents have four back home, so I'm comfortable with a full house, big personalities, and everything from the anxious ones to the ones who think they're lap dogs at 80 pounds. On my last few contracts, I've cared for several doctors' pets while they traveled. Overnight stays, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and plenty of couch time. I'm detail-oriented by training, so I'll follow your instructions exactly and send photo updates so you're never wondering how things are going. Caring for something someone loves is a real responsibility, and it's one I take seriously. I'd love to do that for you and your dog. I work Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5, and I'm free every weekend. I can board or house sit any time outside of those work hours. Weeknight overnights and full weekends both work well. During the week I'm also available for early morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and feedings before and after work. I live nearby with a fully fenced backyard, so there's plenty of room to get outside and play. My schedule is set and predictable, so once we book, you can count on me being there. At my place, your dog has a fully fenced backyard to run in and free rein of the house. No crating unless that's what they're used to and you'd prefer it. I check the gate and fence line before letting anyone out, and dogs stay leashed anytime we're beyond the yard, no matter how good their recall is. In your home, I follow your routine exactly as you've laid it out. Feeding times, walk routes, which doors stay closed, and any quirks I should know about. I ask a lot of questions up front so nothing is left to guesswork. I'm comfortable giving medications and I pay close attention to how a dog is acting; if something seems off, you'll hear from me right away rather than after the fact. I leave the space the way I found it and send photo updates throughout so you always know how things are going.
“Sally was extremely accommodating and was very flexible when we were a bit late. She sent lots of pics and really did everything to make our puppy feel at home. We will definitely ask Sally to watch Kenzie again.”
About: I’ve always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.
“Barbara watched my 5 month old Shih zhu puppy Lucy for a week and she was great. She took her on walks, played, and best of all sent us constant pics and updates. By day two Lucy was already excited when I dropped her off. I could tell she was in good hands and I wouldn’t definitely want Barbara to watch Lucy again.”
“Michelle/Dani (and Bambi) were great! Our dog Kewpie loved his day with them and they did a really wonderful job keeping us updated through the day. We got tons of pics/videos & he came back a very happy boy. Highly recommend Michelle/Dani if you're looking for a caring environment for your pup & we'll definitely book again in the future!”

“Great communication and was great with my puppy. Took him out and gave him his food and made sure he was comfortable along the way! Would definitely have Cynthia walk my dog again in the future.”
“Jas is top notch of a dog walker and has set the standards pretty high. It’ll be challenging to find another dog walker of his caliber. More importantly, Chomsky enjoys the walks with him.”
“Emma has been wonderful taking Koda on walks! She is very diligent about Koda’s condition and even applied cold compress when Koda’s limping without me asking her to. Emma is kind, caring and punctual! Will definitely recommend Emma to anyone to care for their furry friends!”

I have also had several dogs throughout my life, with experience in training, walking, and daily care. My niece is also a vet tech at Sage, so always a phone call away for advice. I have recently retired and have time to fill my days with keeping your fur babies company. I am available every day, with the exception of occasional travel and vacations. I have two 10-year-old kitties in my home, so care most likely would be best in your home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine throughout the days and nights.

“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Ruo host my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Throughout the stay, Ruo kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that Ruo genuinely connected with my dog—so much so that when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to come home! My dog's comfort and happiness were Ruo's top priorities, and it truly showed. I highly recommend Ruo to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful! She made the Rover experience so easy and gave us complete peace of mind. She was caring, communicative, reliable, and clearly treated our pup like family. We got great updates and came home to a very happy dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Chelsea to anyone!”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”
“Deborah was amazing! Very thankful for her to take care of Loki in short notice. She communicated with us very quickly and gave Loki the best experience. Will definitely come back to her.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of our lives. We adopted Bruno, our beloved Labrador Retriever, with whom we spent 11 years until he fought bravely with cancer but could not win. Bruno socialized me to his friends like Mastiffs, German Shepherds, Corgis, Golden Retrievers and many more and helped me understand that each dog, irrespective of his breed, has a unique personality and temperament. Thus, please do tell us about your dogs unique traits and his phobias so that we can make him feel at home. This is important for us to know as dogs undergo huge stress to be away from their home. After Bruno passed away, we adopted Rex, Labrador Retriever, who has helped us heal and made us realize how important dogs are in our lives! Both, me and my wife WFH and have flexible working schedule. So one of us will be at home to take care of the pack. We have Rex, a Labrador Retreiver, who goes on walks 2x times a day for 2-3 miles everyday. If the dog is staying with us, based on his needs, he can join us on our walks. Plus, we have a fully fenced backyard for dogs to play and run freely. Often, we take break from our work and play with our dog in the backyard or go for a small 5-10 min walk outside our home. For everyone’s safety, the dog should get along with kids and other dogs. Please let us know if there are any health issues and/or food allergies. My wife and I have experience caring for senior dogs, and both of us are comfortable administering medications as needed.
“Jennifer took such great care of Molly during her boarding stay. Molly has allergies that cause eye discharge, and Jennifer made sure to clean her eyes every day. A lot of boarders overlook that extra care, so I really appreciated it. Molly’s eyes looked so clean and well cared for when I picked her up. Jennifer also kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight was delayed as well. I would absolutely use Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their dog.”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible dog lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each dog. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, extra patience with a shy dog, or a calm and comfortable environment for a senior pet. I’m also comfortable providing the patience and consistency that young dogs and puppies need as they learn good habits and adjust to new surroundings. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away-and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work outside the home, but I'm intentional about making pet care a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Before booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. When I'm home, your pet gets plenty of companionhsip, attention, and care in a calm, comfortable enviornment. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and individual care. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, outdoor time, play, and lots of attention and affection. For cats, I'll provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime and companionship while also respecting their need for quiet time and personal space. I provide a calm, comfortable home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow your instructions and adjust their care to their individual personality, routine, and needs.
“Zicheng took great care of my dog while we were out of town. He sent lots of photos and video updates. My dog is normally very nervous around new people, but had a great time, especially playing with Kennedy!”
“Andy and his family took great care of Maggie. When we had an unexpected travel hiccup, they were extremely flexible. Maggie returned happy and relaxed from a great stay. Would happily ask them to watch our dog again!”
