Personalized care for your dog or cat - San Francisco

“Taylor is a truly wonderful person and takes great care of our senior dog, Gracie. He is very observant about her behavior, especially as she is getting older, and he gives her just the right amount of activity. We look forward to Taylor’s daily photo updates too!! We have complete peace of mind leaving Gracie in Taylor’s very caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Taylor!”

Amanda H.

Ada L.

“We loved Corey so much! He treated marlow like his own and gave him the best time while taking care of him. We felt our pup was safe, happy, and well loved the whole trip. Will certainly be reaching out to Corey in the future!”

Rachel H.

“Yang was great! We were worried about leaving our puppy because our he is only 4.5 months old. But she sent daily photos and always responded quickly to our questions. She even came by to deliver something that we had left when we picked him up, and when Wilbur saw her again he was so excited! He came home happy and tired. I definitely recommend Yang and will use her as a sitter for our puppy again in the future!”

Lindsay B.

“Monica was fantastic with Wick! We did a meet and greet, and then a park walk together the next day to ensure that Mila (her sweet Shih Tzu) and Wick got along. She communicated well, sent pics and videos. And she has a dog step which is helpful for small senior dogs to protect their joints. She genuinely understands dogs, not just 'sells' it. I will definitely use Monica again!”

Lan A.

Sam L.

“Brandon did an excellent job watching Doudou! Our Doudou is a spoiled little Shih Tzu who has never spent overnight without us or my colleagues (yes I bring Doudou to work every day). Before we used Rover for the first time, we really worried about whether it’s fine to leave Doudou to a stranger for 3 days. Then we met Brandon in person at his home. His warmness and love of Doudou eliminated all our concern. During our trip, Brandon periodically sent cute pictures of Doudou snuggling on the couch, playing at dog park and sleeping in the bed. These photos were the greatest comfort when we were away and missed Doudou. During the stay, Doudou ate well, slept well and played well thanks to Brandon’s thoughtful care. We saw a happy & healthy Doudou at pickup. Big thanks to Brandon and highly recommend him to all doggie parents!”

Bo H.

Monica M.

“Nancy took great care of my dog, Penny, for a week. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos from their adventures together, from hiking to dining out to playing fetch at home. She was also flexible and accommodating when we extended our vacation and needed to adjust our drop-off timing. Her updates were detailed, and it was clear Penny was genuinely incorporated into her daily life. I’d definitely recommend Nancy!”

Katherine L.

Tanya P.

“As always, eric took great care of our two cats, keeping us updated on their wellbeing and letting us know of any issues. We’d recommend anytime!”

Katie Z.

“Xinyuan did a fantastic job taking care of Sunny while we were on vacation. It was our first time leaving him home alone for five days, and she made the experience completely stress-free. She kept us updated at every visit and followed all of my instructions carefully. Sunny is usually very shy around strangers, but with her it was a different story. By the last few days, he was comfortable playing with her and even sitting beside her. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to friends and family.”

Kimmy F.

“Amy cared for our senior cat Midnight while we were gone for 10 days. It was obvious from the first pictures she sent us how comfortable he was right away! And she kept the pictures coming, which kept our minds at ease leaving him alone for an extended period! So grateful we found such a good fit for our guy, and would 10000% recommend Amy!!!”

Steph M.

“Samantha was simply incredible. She's a cat person through-and-through. She dropped by for daily visits for about a week and always left great videos and photos. Both of our cats have quirks, including picky eating habits, diabetes, and occasionally peeing outside their litter box. But Samantha wasn't phased by any of it. Our cats can be standoffish, but it was obvious that Samantha made them feel comfortable. I will absolutely be contacting her in the future to take care of our cats, and I recommend you do, too!”

Pete W.

“Jenna is the best cat sitter one could hope for. She shows my kitty so much love and care and keeps me updated with amazing photos of him. I’m so grateful to her!”

Claire W.

“This was my first time using cat sitting service through Rover. Sammy sent very thorough updates on my kitty. She also administered daily medication. Her daily detailed update and photos helped me continue my trip. She also kept everything organized and clean. I could see my kitty warming up to her in time. I am glad Sammy was there for my kitty while I was away. Thank you so much for your kind, sincere care for Nora!!!”

A M.

“Gina took great care of our cats and even helped with an ant infestation while we were gone! Will be using her services again”

Emily C.

“Vivienne was so amazing with my cat and I’m happy she was free over the holidays. Her report cards were great, she took amazing pictures for me, and my apartment was in great shape when I came back! I was unfortunately gone during a major power outage that left Vivienne unable to enter my building. However, she was super communicative during the whole 7 hour outage and even went over late at night as soon as the power was restored to check on my cat and keep him company. 100% recommend, I had such peace of mind while I was gone knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you Vivienne!”

Andrea L.

“Sabrina was very responsive, has a lot of experience with cats and was very prompt in sending us pictures and keeping us updated while we were out of town.”

Vivek & Peggy G.

“Jeffrey was a pleasure to coordinate with, making himself available for a last minute booking. I appreciated the daily feedback while I was away and that he took the time to come over beforehand to pick up the spares, meet my cat, and take in a full rundown of the ins and outs of the space and routine. I had confidence he was doing a good job and respecting my home while away.”

Dalton C.

“Sarah took great care of my two kitties while I was away for a long weekend! She was consistent with what time she came by, very communicative during her visit, and was great with taking care of one of my kitties that required a little extra care. Thanks Sarah!”

Obi loved her visits and was very well taken care of--I look forward to rebooking with her in the future and highly recommend!”

Audrey W.

About: I'm a communications professional for 30 years now, so it comes natural for me to share with pet owners every milestone of any day they're apart from their pets and trusting me with their care. For 20 years, I've cared for my friend's dogs, cats, and chickens in the Bay Area just for the fun of it. Now I'd like to open my experience and hope it will lead to more travel when I retire in a few year. Also, I have a veterinarian friend on speed dial. I've never had to call in an emergency. But I could! I work from home most days. I write, so I sit at my desk and I don't move much. I love having a cat on the desk or a well-exercised dog in their bed waiting for my next move. I go downtown twice a week, but I have a retired neighbor who volunteers at Animal Control and the SF Zoo who is nuts about dog-walking to fill-in for noontime walks. I like to treat all pets like they're my own, with a little extra in an auntie kind of way. I am an expert Kong-stuffer and a tug of war extremist, with a nice car that I don't mind getting hairy or muddy. Poo and litter are not things I shy away from. I love the smell of pet feet.

“Cosmo took to Savannah right away and had a great day with him. Will definitely use again.”

William F.

“Stella and Derek were awesome! Had a last minute night out come up and needed to find a sitter for my little guy, Splash! He had a great time with them and their dog, Lucy! He got to make some new friends and get some love from the hoomans. Totally plan to have Splash hand with them again!”

Stef F.

“We found ourselves in a predicament upon arriving to San Francisco for a wedding. We thought we had a place for our dog throughout the weekend festivities but due to an illness at that location, we could not take our dog there. I found Sam on Rover.com and she was FANTASTIC. She was very accommodating, and easy to work with. I wasn’t sure exactly what our schedule was going to be but she had no problem helping me cover our dogs needs. Our dog is also blind and she was incredible caring for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam for any pet needs.”

Rhody H.

“Kira was very communicative and I appreciated the photos while I was out and about. My dog quickly trusted being with her the moment I dropped him off. Highly recommend her”

Jes L.

“I was looking for a safe place to leave my dog for the day while on a roadtrip that went through New York. Daniele was very accommodating last minute, gave my dog a fun day with the other pups, and sent me updates on how he was doing. It was very convenient how close she was to Manhattan. I would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Derek S.

“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

Maryam N.

“Maria provided excellent care for Oxy during his daycare appointment. Her professional, communicative, and confident manner immediately put me at ease. I especially appreciated her thoughtful questions at drop-off and the detailed feedback she shared at pick-up. Oxy seemed relaxed and content, and his meeting Daphne (the sweetest dog!) was a fun bonus. We look forward to working with Maria and seeing Daphne again!”

Sudeepti S.

“Ivy is so kind and great with my 2 dogs. I was able to have a great time exploring SF while knowing my dogs were in good hands. I got lots of photo updates on how they were doing. And Ivy was very easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule. I strongly recommend her, extra bonus, she has an easy spot to pull the car over to drop the dogs off. Would 100% book with her again if we come back to SF.”

Ruth B.

“Maggie is wonderful! So attentive and caring - we could tell our pup had a great time with her! We’ll definitely be booking with Maggie again :)”

Briana N.

“I cannot recommend him enough! Over the 10 days he walked our two pups, Picaron and Polo, he was consistently warm, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful. Every update was detailed, playful, and full of personality, like little love letters about my dogs’ day. From keeping water bowls fresh, noting quirky potty habits, cleaning Polo’s fur when he got a little too curious, to capturing adorable photos every day, he clearly loves what he does. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were not only safe, but also having fun and forming a bond with someone who truly cared. He even knew who was doing fake limps for attention (Polo 😂). It’s rare to find someone this communicative, caring, and tuned in. If you’re lucky enough to book him, do it!”

Jeff O.

“Kaitlin was wonderful to work with! On time and communicative and easy going! And Ellie loved her right away!! Will definitely use her in the future”

She is also super professional and communicative and has made the whole experience so easy. Strongly recommend working with Nicola!”

Dane B.

About: Hi there! I'm Charlie, and I'm passionate about providing excellent care to your four legged family members. I have been working with dogs professionally for seven years, starting as a dog handler at a doggie daycare, then moving on to teach group classes for puppy training, basic obedience, and agility at a dog training facility, then specializing in puppy socialization at a local puppy dayschool! I value the comfort and wellbeing of any creature I work with, both physical and emotional, which is why I abide by force free/fear free methods. I am well versed in dog body language, have a good understanding of the principles of dog behavior and positive reinforcement based training, as well as early puppyhood development. I'm not just a dog person though - ever since I was a kid, I always had cats! In addition to having my own pet cats, I fostered pregnant mama cats and their kittens. I hope you consider choosing me to care for your best pals! I am available for walks and drop ins with pretty flexible availability, and am more than happy to drop by to love on your pet while you're at work! I care about ensuring that your pet is comfortable, safe, and happy, which is why I use force free/fear free methods in every interaction. Your pet deserves to feel comfortable with me and have their emotional needs respected in addition to their physical needs. And of course, I want your pet to have fun when they're with me! I like to keep things playful and lighthearted on any walk or drop-in. That's the best thing about pets!

JB S.

“Javier was absolutely fantastic with my blind and leash-reactive Winnie. During walks, he took steps to prevent her from lunging at other dogs and eating food refuse on the ground - both of which are very hard to do. He is very knowledgeable about dogs, and it is obvious that he loves them a great deal. He is also extremely caring, responsible, respectful, and trustworthy. There is no one I would trust more to care for my dog.”

Dean C.

“Maria was amazing. Awhile back I needed someone semi last minute as my regular guy forget to tell me about a 3 week vacation. I contacted Maria, we set up a tone for her to meet Cooper and everything went smoothly. I just recently needed a sub for a couple days and she came through again. Very communicative. If I didn’t already have someone I liked, I’d def hire her full time. 😀🐶”

And, the most important thing of course, Stella had a great time and came home happy and tired. Thank you so much for the help Wei, it always means a lot.”

Edwin H.

“Bo H. is a very chill and responsible person, and my family is so glad that he was available to watch over Finley for a couple of days. His place is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of SF, which helped to keep Finley calm in our absence. Many thanks to Bo, and I can't recommend him enough.”

They have their own goldens and were well aware of how to take care of mine very seamlessly. They also provided Summer with plenty of exercise, love, care, and attention which they were shared in several pictures and videos throughout each day. I would definitely recommend and look forward to Summer’s next stay when I travel out of town. Thank you again!”

Katie P.

“Mandar and his family do an amazing job taking care of my Golden Retriever Teddy. He is an older dog that requires special care and medication.

Christian H.

“Thank you Karla for taking great care of Montou. I can tell he had a great time and thanks for letting him hang out with your cat. This is new to him and glad to hear he made a friend. Can’t wait to have him spend more time with you in the future.”
