She took care of our Elliott as if it was her own per. I can highly recommend Jenna and will for sure book her again if needed. Thanks again so much Jenna for giving us an enjoyable night out.”

Definitely will reach back out to her again if I need someone to watch my two cats again !!”

“Anita took care of my cat when I was away for personal and business trips past few months.

I especially loved the abundance of photos she shared of Sesame and Peanut playing and having a great time. Being away from them for this long was definitely nerve-wracking for me, but Sara’s thoughtfulness and exceptional care completely put my mind at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of a few of my friend’s cats in the past year. I’ve been asked many times to either check-in on their cats or provide overnight care. I have also helped with providing medicine and health care to their cats when necessary.

“Charles is an incredible dog sitter for our English Cocker Spaniel, Murphy. He shows up on time, feeds him as needed and delivers a very happy dog to us after a full day of play, walks and love. Murphy really connects with him and we are grateful for Charles. We have worked with him twice and we’ll work with him again. Thanks Charles!”
“Ingyin is very sweet and she was swift to reply to my texts which is a huge plus in my books since I always have to run to work right after an early morning drop off. She was amazing and I would definitely pick her to watch Jinx again for me 😊”

I newly adopted my boy, he is about 1 year old and is learning a lot and adjusting to his new life - all which Celia was more than understanding! She provided many photos and updates throughout the day which made me feel so at ease. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with three golden retrievers, so I’m very used to zoomies, big personalities, and a little bit of chaos (in the best way). I loved every second of it. I’ve handled everything from long walks and endless games of fetch to feeding, baths, vet visits, and teaching basic commands. These days, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my friends whenever they travel. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that). You can expect a happy pup and plenty of updates while you’re away! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. On weekends, I spend most of my time in the city, enjoying parks, walking around, and hanging out with friends. Am happy to fit any needs into my schedule! I tailor my approach based on the individual needs of each pet. Regular walks, playtime, and exercise are essential components of my care routine, ensuring the pets stay happy and active.
“He was so amazing and accommodating! Loved Anthony and Brody loved him too. Best part he made a joke that he tired our Brody from a full day of play and I loved that! Made our commute home easy. Highly recommend him!”
“Jenny and her boyfriend were amazing! Super flexible with drop off and pick up timing and most importantly, really great sitters -- Quinoa came back happy and tired!”
“Yunhee has quickly become my go to person when I need a dog sitter. She actually likes dogs, which is not always a given, and is so good with them. Elliot gets so excited whenever we drop him off at hers but also when we walk by her address as he thinks he is going there. Communication with Yunhee is great, timely and responsive. The pictures she sends are the best. A gem of a find in Rover!”
“Yasmim and her wife took great care of Lua for the day! I could tell they really liked her, and her them! Yasmim was communicative and sent lots of updates. 10/10 - would recommend ❤️”
“Butters had a fun day while I got to take from fostering him a bit! Betty was great with sending periodic updates for me and she was really helpful with advice on puppy training. I would definitely book her again!”
“Remo was great! Very communicative and excited to have Pickles for the day. You could tell he is incredibly experienced the way he reacts to your concerns. Super trusting and sends a lot of happy pup photos throughout the day.”
“Jason took Zumi for the day and I think she had a great time. Sometimes she can be stressed in new environments with new street noises but when I picked her she was calm and seemed like she had a great day. Grateful that Jason was available last minute for a booking!”
About: Lived in SF for 1 years and previously resided in NJ, FL, MA, and Germany. I grew up with animals all my life! I have one chihuahua at my home currently but have had a poodle, chocolate lab, shih tzu, and sheepdog before. I have looked after senior dogs who needed medication so I am experienced in this as well. I have done mild dog training before for myself and others so if that is something that you are interested in, we can talk. I hope that you will give me a chance and know that I will treat your pet like a member of the family! I currently work from home so bringing a dog over to my place, going to your home, or walking a dog in general is not a problem. I live in close proximity to many dog parks and my apartment building is dog friendly so they will get a lot of enjoyment out of seeing other dogs around.
“Victoria and Eric were amazing again! I didn’t have to worry at all about Hugo being with them, and when I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed.”
“My little boy had a really good experience at Vy's place. He got to play with Vy & Sean's dog all day, got his exercise in the yard, and did all his business while I was at work. Vy sends pics and update throughout the day, which I appreciated since seeing my dog happy and comfortable gave me peace of mind. We will definitely work with Vy and Sean again in the future.”
“Thank you Nicole! Mochi had a wonderful day with you and you took amazing care of her today 🤗. I loved her pictures and it gives me peace at work knowing she is so happy!”
“Kelvin takes great care of my pup and she comes home exhausted! He has a great setup and I feel comfortable leaving my puppy with him for the day, knowing she’ll be well looked after. Thank you Kelvin!”
“When I met Jessica at "Met and Greet", I knew our little Shylo would be in great hands. Jessica kept us inform throughout the day, sending us pictures of our little one. She printed and gave us a beautiful picture of our Shylo, it was a perfect pose. Couple of days, we saw Jessica, and Shylo remembered her, and he wanted to run to her. I will definitely be booking with Jessica when in need of doggie daycare or boarding.”

“André has gone above and beyond as a walker. Our pup has special needs, and he's very attentive to our pup's needs. We did an initial meet & walk together so that he could get comfortable with Kirby's requirements & so that we could point out what to look out for. During the walk, André was perfect with our pup. I feel total confidence handing Kirby off to him each day. We've engaged André for ongoing weekly support — we can't wait to keep working with him!”
About: I am taking a career sabbatical and would love to spend more of my time doing something that brings me real joy. I grew up with two dogs and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and comfort level. I take time to learn what makes each dog feel safe and happy, whether that means long walks, playtime, quiet company, plenty of cuddles or giving them space to settle in. My professional background has made me organised, responsible and clear in my communication. I will follow your care instructions closely, keep you updated and treat your dog with the same kindness and care I would want for my own. My career sabbatical gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I am available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, including longer visits where your dog would benefit from extra company. Because I am not balancing pet care around a full-time office job, I can give dogs my full attention and keep closely to their usual feeding, walking and rest routines. I will carefully follow all instructions relating to feeding, medication, walks, behaviour and access to the home. I will send regular photos and updates, respond promptly and make sure you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I am a crazy dog mom. My dog is the light of my life and she is spoiled rotten. I'm the kind of person who will cuddle any dog I can. At a party you can find me hanging out with the dog in the back. I have had my pup for 5 years after getting her from the shelter and I pride myself on being the best dog mom I can. I also have experience fostering a special needs elder dog. If you're looking for someone that will treat your dog with the care and compassion you would I am your girl . My dog is my family and I know yours is probably as well. Please let me know if you have any questions ! I am currently unemployed but I was an accountant before. I want to do Rover because I love dogs and I already am going to the park frequently with my own dog. ( I would take yours separately) I love walking around the city and going to the park and I love dogs. I'm the person that has to say hi to every dog I see. Currently I want to start off by offering in-house sitting only or walks. My dog is very shy so I do not want to stress her with someone in her own. When I take my dog to the park I am like a hawk watching her. I'm hyper vigilant almost to a fault. I want my dog to have a fun time but I also will keep an eye out for any other dogs or issues.
“Angela is a wonderful dog walker and my dog Bonny immediately trusted her for new big city walks and exploration! I get daily check-ins on how my dog is doing throughout the visits which is so reassuring when I have to be in the office away from home. Knowing that Bonny is having the best day ever every day is all thanks to Angela's patient care!”
“Thank you Olesia for watching our boys! You were absolutely amazing!!! You kept is updated with photos and messages and followed all our instructions perfectly. I know our high energy puppy is a lot of work! Thank you again.”
About: I have taken care of pets, and fostered all sorts of cats and dogs over the last 5 years. I have experince with all temprement types, and love all animals! I started and ran a TNR Program when I lived overseas, that rescued, rehomed and provided medical care to over 300 animals in 3 years. I am able to work with each pet parent to find time to take care of your animal while you are gone. I am able flexible to work around whatever schedule is neccessary. I am able to care for all animals in my home. My apartment building has a dog run, and is in an area around many parks, and my cats are friendly towards other animals!

“We were so thankful to have Genna's help last minute when we needed it. She was super at communicating with us. Pups were so happy to have her hang out and walk with them. We feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out for help again. Thanks Genna!”
About: Lauren here, an animal lover who chose to become vegetarian at age 3 (still going strong!). Thanks for checking out my profile. I've boarded many dogs at my Lower Haight home in the past, including shy and reactive dogs, and trained my own dog from puppyhood. I'm now focused on solo dog walking and drop-ins and would love to hang with your pup or take them for outings! Available for walks from 9am-3pm on days I'm available in my profile. My work schedule is flexible, and I genuinely love spending time getting to know new dogs. My favorite thing is asking variations of “Walk? Outside? Out?” till I hit the right keyword and your dog’s tail starts to wag. I'll take regular photos of our time together and share updates with you. Pet safety is essential. I stay alert on walks to ensure your pet is safe from other dogs and other concerns. I don't let dogs off leash who are new to my services.
“Hannah did a great job taking Alfredo on a two hour walk while I got to steal some time away for a much needed bike ride. I’ve been dealing with Alfredo’s separation anxiety as he is a recent rescue and Hannah was able to accommodate Alfredo’s needs as a recently rescued Boxer puppy, and make sure he had a fun time on their long walk. Definitely plan to get her together with Alfredo as much as possible.”
“So grateful for Katheryn. She did an incredible job with my dog Clementine. Took such good care of her and gave me a great report after. Will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I'm a longtime dog lover with a soft spot for small breeds. I've been a dog owner (an adorable Maltese/Papillon), walker and overnighter for more than a decade. I'm super active and enjoy running or walking with dogs. From trips to Fort Mason to dog parks and Twin Peaks, I make sure your dog is happy, loved, cared for and always up to teach a new trick to pass the time until you are home. I am happy to stay in your home for trips where you'll be out of town, or just come for daily walks and food. I'm timely, centrally located and don't mind going to the dog park or taking a casual stroll in the neighborhood. I care for your dog like it's my own.
“So glad that I went with Charles on Rover when I encountered a situation that created a last minute need for a dog walker. He was very responsive, easy to schedule with and he took great care of my girl. Will definitely book again for future needs”

“Our goldendoodle, Harry, immediately gravitated towards Laura from the first meeting! Laura seemed to really prioritize Harry during his stay. They went on multiple walks a day to different locations and Laura always kept us updated on the fun things they were able to do. Would definitely recommend Laura and we hope to have her watch Harry again in the future.”

“Poppy had a great weekend staying with Katie. Katie sent updates both photos and descriptions of what Poppy was up to all weekend. Poppy spent time going on long walks, sunbathing in Katie's backyard, and lots of playing with toys! I am so very appreciative and would highly recommend Katie!”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with Oscar. She was very respectful of all the directions I gave her and made sure to send me frequent updates. I really appreciated all the photos she sent me of Oscar because they showed exactly how happy and relaxed he was in her home. Her whole family made Oscar feel so welcome that it honestly seemed like he became part of their household for a few days. The best moment for me was when I went to pick him up. Oscar leaned into her, gave her a hug, and kept looking back at her for more pets and attention. That told me everything about how well he was cared for and how safe he felt with her. I’m extremely happy with how his stay went. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your dog, I highly recommend Victoria. She clearly loves dogs, treats them like her own, and gives you complete peace of mind. Oscar will definitely be staying with her again.”
“Jocelyn was amazing with our dog, who can be a bit energetic and tough for some folks. She took care of her like her own and was very communicative throughout the weekend. It’s clear she loves dogs and knows how to manage them while showing them a great time. We are already relieved for the next time we’ll need boarding services knowing that our dog will be with Jocelyn!”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“Westley had such a good time with Kimberly! The photos she sent showed how relaxed he felt in her home. I will definitely reach out to her the next time we need to travel!”
“Sam and family did a wonderful job caring for our girl Mollie as they always do! Our pup is very sensitive and people oriented so it helps that Sam reads Mollie’s moods and helps her settle in when she arrives. Great pictures help us keep abreast of their adventures together!”
“Meg was an amazing sitter. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip that Val was happy and safe. As first time users, we will definitely be calling on her more often. I have no doubt Val can’t wait for her next stay.”
“Rosalie and Frank were simply amazing. We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we are in the city. They took great care of my senior dog and were super gentle with his needs (meds, walks, back issues, etc.). You won't go wrong with them. Thanks guys!”
“I am so lucky to have found Carlotta. She loves our bull terrier Domani like if he was hers. We left Domani with her during the holidays and he had the best time, she always sent us pictures and kept us updated about everything! From now on, I’ll always ask her to take care of our furry baby while we are away. She isn’t only a wonderful dog sitter, she is a wonderful person!”
“Brianna (Baiyu) took wonderful care of my pup, Muffin! She was highly communicative and kind. Most importantly, my pup was happy and content when she came back to me.”
