“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“David was amazing, and I can't thank him enough for all the kindness he showed my little Yoshi. During my 12-day absence, he sent me updates and pictures, which reassured me. When I rang the doorbell to pick him up, Yoshi barked just like he does at home. This shows the level of trust and comfort he found with David. Thank you so much!”
“Annabel was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible with our last-minute boarding booking request. Throughout Troi’s stay, she kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We especially appreciated the one-on-one attention she gave Troi. She can be a little particular, prefers individual attention, and requires daily medication. Annabel was attentive to all of her needs, made sure her medication was given, and spent plenty of quality time with her so she felt comfortable, loved, and right at home. It never felt like Troi was a burden and was clear she was genuinely cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and will absolutely be booking with Annabel again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”
“Wonderful people! Super detail oriented on how to care for my fur baby Pico! They kept us updated everyday on how he was doing and I completely trust them. We will be in touch again for when we need a dog sitter again!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life, whether it was my standard poodle as a young kid, my mini poodle as a teenager or, more recently, the senior dogs I’ve fostered or adopted from Muttville. Dogs have always been in good hands with me. Right now my wife and I have two dachshund chihuahua mixes we adopted at five and six. Our home is a dog home. They’re on the couch, on the bed and even under the covers (if they want to burrow). They’re in the mix and they’re loved. If your dog has medications, I’ve got it. If they have special needs or they’re older and need a slower pace, I have ample experience with that. I’m currently dedicating my time to taking care of pups, so your pup will have my undivided attention throughout the days and evenings. The max amount of time I’d leave your dog alone would be for four hours. I have two dogs of my own that I would keep separate from your dog to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I have a fully fenced backyard with a couple of stairs. I also have pet stairs inside to help senior dogs get up on to the couch and bed
“Forrest seemed to have an amazing time with Remo who sent daily pictures and updates. Will definitely use him again. He was very warm and interactive and made us and Forrest feel right at home.”
“This was our second visit and as soon as we arrived, "Chica" pulled me to their door with her tag wagging. Again, it was great getting the photo updates. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another stress free vacation! Looking forward to seeing you soon!”
“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Laxmi took such wonderful care of Milo, our 5 month old puppy. He had lots of walks and was in such good spirits when we picked him up. We received regular updates and photos, and were never worried about how he was doing.”
“Our dog Coffee had a wonderful 5-night stay with Laura while we were out of state traveling. She went out of her way to make sure Coffee was comfortable in the space before we left on our trip, and we felt confident the entire time that Coffee was being well cared for. We received regular updates with pictures. Right before our trip, Coffee was put on a course of antibiotics and Laura was wonderful in adding the medication into Coffee's care schedule, despite his strong aversion to medication of any kind! We had a fantastic experience with Laura, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Uriel is such a blessing! Our fur babies have different needs and he made both pups feel at ease One is a puppy with tons of energy! Our other guy is elderly and requires special care. Uriel was attentive to my requests and did a wonderful job caring for both our little guys. They are going to do an overnight with him!”
“Sky had a wonderful time with Cristina and Ernesto—she was truly on her own little vacation, treated like a queen! I’m so grateful for the incredible care they gave her while I was away. They kept me updated every day with photos and messages, and their communication was outstanding. At the end, I was treated with a delicious brownie and Sky got her cookies. I highly recommend them!”
“Jose is wonderful, and took such good care of our anxious pup. He was calm and communicative and went out of his way to make sure Louie felt comfortable. Thank you Jose!”
“Fabiano was great, we boarded our dog with him and his dog for a week after doing a meet and great where we noted our dog got along with both of them. Fabiano was always on time to meet us for pick up and drop off, committed quickly, and kept us updated frequently with how our dog was doing, along with several pictures throughout.”
“Winnie had a wonderful time with Melissa! It was only Winnie's second time staying overnight away from home, and Melissa's care, proactive communication, and photos put me at ease while traveling. Winnie came home happy and well-cared for, and I am so appreciative!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Cynthia, got so much exercise and playtime with other dogs. Cynthia shared tons of photos and I just felt so grateful for her during my trip. I knew I picked the right sitter.”

“Laxmi was amazing as always! Our very anxious cat always feels so comfortable with her and Laxmi makes it a point to send us adorable pictures and was also very flexible on the time and duration of sitting which we greatly appreciated!”
“Thank you Jessica for watching my cat over the holidays. I enjoyed all the updates and photos that you shared several times a day. Thanks for taking a good care of Toby. We really appreciate it and see you again next time.”
“Samantha was wonderful with my pets. My cats require a few extra steps since they do not get along very well, but she followed my instructions perfectly without any issues. She was very communicative, arrived when she said she would, and most importantly, I came home to two happy cats. I would absolutely recommend Samantha, and she will be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter.”
“Carmen is so loving to my cat. Patient & sweet. Very detailed on her daily messages and genuinely seems to care. I feel confident going away with Carmen on my side!”
“Lydia was great at taking care of our two cats! She sent messages whenever she arrived and gave nice little status updates on what she and the cats did. I loved the photos too :)”
“Mia has been helping me with Roo for a while now. This is my second review of her Mia. Many sits, no decrease in service. That is something I value deeply as a customer. She’s flexible with times and a great communicator. I highly recommend.”
“I recently just moved to the Bay Area and I had to take a trip shortly after, so I got in contact with Shailyng. One of my cats has had health issues in the past related to moving, so I was worried that this would be an issue again. Having Shailyng come over daily and give me an update on their health and wellbeing was a huge reassurance and relief during my trip. Even though they were hiding during their visits she would keep me updated very closely and even worked with my landlord to make sure they were okay.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dena, who came highly recommended by a friend. She was caring, kind and attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos. Jiji was happy and relaxed when I returned, which says it all. Would absolutely leave Jiji under Dena’s care again!”
“Hui Min was very accommodating as well as attentive to Minu needs. She was very comforting and provided excellent care for Minu. I am very pleased with Hui Min and will use her in the future.”
About: As a cat owner, I understand how important routine and comfort are for cats. I have experience with in-home visits, feeding, litter care, and giving cats the attention they need to feel safe and relaxed.
About: My name is Megan and I currently live in San Francisco, CA. I would love to provide care for your dog. I am an experienced previous dog owner and experienced pet sitter. I am able to board, feed, walk, and any other necessary care. I am also open to taking care of any other pets you have (cats, fish, rabbits and bearded dragons are some of the pets that I have experience with caring for). Please feel free to contact me here or at the phone number provided if you are interested. Thank you! I teach at a school that is three blocks from my house from 9am-4:30pm, so I can come home for lunch break walks if needed. I can walk dogs before and after school and let the dog into my backyard garden at any time. On the weekends, I can take dogs to the beach or on other fun outdoor adventures! I have taken care of people’s’ pets in a number of ways. I have stopped by people’s’ houses for care, boarded pets, and stayed overnight in pets’ homes.
About: Your pup will be in good hands! If you're new to Rover, use my code to save $20! NANCYC19805 My partner Andy and I both have flexible hybrid work schedules l so your pet will have plenty of care and attention throughout the day! We live in a 3 story home with a backyard and long driveway for dog runs. We live 10 minutes from 2 great parks. We both grew up with pets, both cats and dogs. Our rescue pup Coco passed away in Fall 2022 and we miss her very much. We now have Lulu (a sweet 9yo french bulldog) who we rescued from the same organization. Through our foster and Rover experiences, we have cared for many animals with different needs. We have experience with pets with mobility needs, shy/nervous pets, and pets that need medication. Although we have stairs, we are happy to carry your pet up and down the stairs, and we have a ramp to help them up the couch. We currently work from home and can give your pet as much (or as little) attention as they need. We typically do 2 longer walks and 2 short walks a day, but let us know what works best for your pup! On the weekends, we like to go to the park nearby or drive to parks in different neighborhoods and walk around. Let us know if there's anything special in taking care of your pet and we'll accommodate. I have a fenced yard to allow for quick breaks for your pet. We allow pets on our couch for cuddles, as long as they behave. Typically, we crate dogs at night, so please bring your dog’s crate for overnight stays. We have stairs leading up to our living room. We are happy to carry your pup up if under 30 lbs.
“Joseph did an awesome job taking care of Piccolo. Easy to communicate with, responsive, handled complicated instructions with no fuss, and clearly enjoyed hanging out with our babygirl.”
“I'm so thrilled that my kitty Kato sees Arillia's strengths and warmth as a caregiver, which means he not only plays, cuddles, but also EATS (!) while I'm away. We're so lucky to have Arillia and the extra TLC she brings.”
“Genesis took great care of my cat while I was away for the holidays, arrived on time, sent photos, and made it much easier for me to travel without worrying about my cat while I was gone. Would recommend. Thanks!”

“Marie Elenore was amazing with my pup, but also with me as I was running late for the scheduled time. 🐶🐾 Very accommodating. 👍😊 Crinkle definitely had a blast with her. 🎉🥳 Thank you! 🙏💖”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!”
“Louis loves Randy and Jessica! He pulls me and my husband in the mornings in the direction of their house and then runs through the door as soon they open it. Maybe it’s the fact he gets to spend time at the beach or because he loves being with the other members of the pack- in any case we’re so happy to have a reliable sitter that our pup also loves!”
“Vanda was great, she was very patient, kind and caring for my senior dachshund. Gave him massages for his arthritis and cleaned his bedding after an accident. Was very understanding after something held me up at work and had to extend daycare for an hour. Would have her watch him again when we need her again.”
“Martin and Robert exceeded my expectations ! 5⭐️ They sent photo updates throughout the day and on top of that Pegi came home fresh n’ clean and so relaxed .”
“Kira was fabulous! We booked last minute for a long day and Kira was willing to wake up before the sun rose and meet us right on time. She sent tons of updates throughout the day including photos and our pup came back happy! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a sweet senior chihuahua. Since my pup can’t join me on long walks or hikes anymore, I love spending time helping other dogs enjoy the exercise and outdoor adventures they deserve. I also have hands-on experience working in an animal clinic, where I learned how to care for pets with different needs, temperaments, and health conditions. That background taught me to be attentive, calm, and confident when handling animals — especially those who need a little extra patience or care. Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood stroll or an energetic hike, I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having! I enjoy staying active, so going on walks or hikes with dogs easily fits into my schedule. Whether it’s early-morning strolls, midday drop-ins, or evening walks, I make time each day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also keep my weekends open for longer walks or hikes with higher-energy dogs. I care for each pet as if they were my own. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I follow their routine, provide love, exercise, and keep them happy and safe.
“Sean was great on the communication and my pup and I were really happy to stay with him! Would definitely recommend Sean as your neighborhood dog sitter :)”
“Cristina was super kind and responsive! She sent me updates and photos throughout the day and let me know if any issues arose. She was patient with my anxious senior dog and did a great job taking care of him. I definitely recommend her and Ernesto and would love to book them 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.”
“Cameron was very communicative, flexible, and took such great care of my dog. At pickup, he even let me know about small details like her water intake that I really appreciated. Laurel was very happy after day care with Cameron!”
“Christal does such an amazing job working with my baby girl. Given my pups temperament is super sassy and yappy, she did a great job with Christal’s fur babies. I can’t appreciate her enough with all her love and patience she continues to provide with not only my pup, but all her other lovely clients! 🐶💖”

“Marie was very reliable, professional, friendly, and responsive. We would 100% recommend Marie for dog walking and plan to use her services again. Thank you, Marie!”
“Shailyng is the best! She treats my pup like her own and takes such good care of her. She is so communicative and always sends tons of pictures and videos and is amazing with responding to my last minute requests. I know my pup is in good hands with her.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats in the household all my life (mostly dogs). Though, I don't have any pets at the moment, my family often relies on me to watch and take care of their pets while they're away. Because of my many years of experience with dogs and cats, I'm familiar with their manners and behaviors. Also, I just recently found out that I have a calming effect on them! I'm currently working part-time so I'm available for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Mostly available on Mondays through Saturdays, mornings to evenings. I like to first get acquainted with your pup or cat, as I like to make sure they trust and feel comfortable with me. Beforehand, I also make sure to note any highlighted behaviors I should know about. For example, if a pup hasn't been socialized yet, they can become uneasy around other dogs while on walks by barking excessively or growling at the other dogs.
About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.
“Dena and her husband are the absolute best -- so thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. They make sure to understand your dog's needs and give them individualized attention. My dog is a senior dog so she doesn't do long walks, but they made sure to give her plenty of attention and playtime! I could tell my dog had a blast and seemed so comfortable with them. Would book again anytime.”
“Jennifer is such a reliable and loving pet sitter! My golden, Aioli, gets so excited to see her for his walks and Jennifer makes sure my lazy boy gets his exercise in. She follows through on instruction, is timely with her arrivals, and never cancels last minute. I rely on Jennifer so much since I work 4 days a week in office. I am so grateful for Jennifer and I know Aioli is too!!”
“I can’t recommend Surekha as a walker highly enough! She is incredibly reliable and genuinely so sweet with my dog. It’s clear how much she cares, my pup is always happy and well-exercised. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, which gives me total peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.”
About: I am an animal lover, especially big dogs! I have been a nanny and pet sitter for decades and I’m looking forward to being your go-to trusted sitter.

I’ve spent years as a nanny for two children on a farm, while caring for horses and other farm animals daily (sheep, goats, pigs, quail etc.) Pretty much open to anything and just happy to be around animals. I am new to Rover, but I have completed 30 services on the Wag app (all with 5 star reviews) the apps are new to me, as most of my nanny jobs and pet sitting has been through word of mouth. *happy to lower rate on additional pets & holidays My schedule is pretty open. I don’t have any pets of my own so I have the flexibility to travel further out of town and do longer stays if you’re planning bigger trips in the future. Most of my work is done from my laptop so I am mobile, giving me this open schedule for booking and to attend to your pets needs while sitting. As for my lifestyle I am active, I enjoy walks and hikes (stopping for all the smells of course) my active lifestyle will give your pet the exercise they need and plenty of fresh air.

“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”

“My dog had an amazing time with Cynthia, got so much exercise and playtime with other dogs. Cynthia shared tons of photos and I just felt so grateful for her during my trip. I knew I picked the right sitter.”
“Jillian was great with Lucy! Lucy can be a bit anxious and Jillian make her feel super welcome and kept us updated during our trip with photos. We’d definitely have Lucy stay with Jillian again in the future!”
“Sam takes wonderful care of my English Bulldog. I have complete peace of mind knowing Tess is in Sam’s care and I greatly appreciate the frequent and thoughtful updates while I am away.”
“I had to go on a sudden weekend trip, and reached out to Vanessa a day before I needed a sitter for my dog for 2 nights. She was quick to help, and took good care of my dog that got an upset stomach during that weekend. 10/10!”
“I could not have asked for a more communicative and caring sitter to watch my dog, Poppy! Sonia provided updates several times a day and provided plenty of adorable pictures throughout the stay. It’s always challenging leaving your pup with a new sitter, but Sonia’s frequent communication relieved all nerves. She ensured Poppy was at home from the minute she arrived. I will absolutely be a repeat customer of Sonia’s!”
“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.”
“This was awesome. I had never left my pup with anyone in a long time and this was so reassuring! Yingxin sent me so many photos. It helped ease my anxiety being away from my dog while in vacation. I would 100% leave my dog with her again.”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
“I'm so, so happy I found Marielle! She did a wonderful job caring for my pup Aku while I was out of the country for a week. She was responsive and accommodating, and she sent the best updates of Aku and her own dog Red getting along. We even got a sweet card and photos of Aku during his stay with Marielle! I 1000% recommend Marielle and will continue to book her again if I need to! You're the best!”
“Lily was AMAZING!! We received dozens of pictures every day and could really see how comfortable and happy Axel was. She took excellent care of him, including administration of meds and daily walks on the beach (turns out he loves it!). We can’t wait to see Lily again!”
“Maria took great care of my French bulldog, Bowie for ~10 days. Sent photos every day and was very responsive to all messages. I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
“Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!”
“Durva was an amazing dog sitter! We had met before, which made everything feel even more comfortable. She sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. Henry had so much fun with her dogs and came home happy and tired from all the walks and playtime he got every day. It was clear he was well cared for and loved. I’d absolutely trust Durva again and highly recommend her!”
