“I feel so grateful to have found Kali as my cat sitter! She provided exceptional care for my two cats while I was away. She kept me well-informed with regular updates, including photos and notes, which truly put my mind at ease. One of my cats can be a bit shy, but he quickly warmed up to Kali, and it was clear that both of my cats felt comfortable and safe in her care. My cats have long fur and tend to throw up frequently, but Kali went above and beyond by not only cleaning up after them but also tending to their needs with such attention. She even watered my plants, ensuring everything was taken care of. When I returned, my cats were happy, calm, and content. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend Kali to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated cat sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my patient, calm approach to caring for cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to get to know each cat and follow their routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Neighbors, friends, and colleagues have relied on me to care for their cats, and I'm comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications when needed, and providing plenty of playtime or cuddles if your cat enjoys them. I know how important consistency is for cats, and I'll make sure they receive attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“Daniel accommodated a last minute booking and was super easy to work with! He was thoughtful and attentive to my cat and made sure to have all my requests covered.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — and cats have always had a special place in my heart. I love them so deeply. I grew up with them, I understand and admire their personality, and I genuinely love their world. I know what it feels like to leave your cat and hope they're in good hands. Cats are independent, but they still need love, attention, and someone who truly understands them 🥰 As a photographer, I also have a weakness for a good cat photo 📸. Your cat is family, And I'll treat them exactly like that. ❤️
“Kim was the perfect caretaker for Matcha. Our cat has the relentless energy of an Australian Shepherd and could play all day. Unlike many, I could tell Kim genuinely played with her. I giggled at every action shot or cute snuggle photo he sent me. I came home to a happy cat, and I’m so thankful. Will definitely be leaning on him for future visits!”
“Kristina was amazing with our cat who has a special diet and meds. She provided a ton of updates, gave us peace of mind while traveling, and left our house as neat as when we left. Super kind and respectful- would definitely recommend her!”
“Sue was fantastic! She not only gave me copious pictures and stats but was cool with some troubleshooting when the litter box had issues. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and overall went above and beyond. I highly recommend her and I will request her again!”
“Natalie was incredible! She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent pics of our girls which made us happy! They clearly loved her and felt so comfortable which makes traveling so much less stressful knowing your fur babies are taken care of ❤️ would 10/10 recommend her for anyone else looking for a cat sitter!”
“Anna cared for my two cats as attentively as I do. She has a deep understanding of how cats operate. She built a great rapport with them, which was especially meaningful for my more anxious cat who doesn’t like to be away from me. I’m super grateful.”
“Samantha was a great house sitter for us and our two cats. She shared a good number of updates and even dealt with some little issues like misdelivered packages thoughtfully and without fuss. She was responsive, kind, and we returned to happy cats! Very happy.”
“My cats and I love Ferlanti! She is truly the best. Takes such good care of my boys and my home. She sends great updates and lots of pictures. We can’t wait to have Ferlanti back!”
“Our shy little cat seems to feel so comfortable around Sheena! I feel reassured knowing Sheena is taking care of her while we are gone. She’s also flexible and so easy to communicate with. I will keep booking with her as long as I can!”
“Alex is an excellent sitter! She so clearly loves animals and was so gentle and patient with my shy cat during drop-in visits. She was also very communicative and sent lots of photos and videos. I would definitely recommend!”
“Denise was an awesome rover - she was able to confirm a sit at the very last minute, sent a ton of pictures, followed instructions well, played with my cat a lot, and was super flexible. Would absolutely have her do drop-ins again!”
“Taylor was available on short notice and was super accommodating. Our dog took to her immediately! She took very good care of Zoey and communicated well with us. Would absolutely have her watch Zoey again.”
About: Years of loving and caring for cats in my family as well as clients’ cats, even those with special needs such as blindness. Will clean litter boxes and make sure they get plenty of playtime with their toys!

“Anthony was one of the best dogsitters I’ve connected with through Rover. He has been super clear with communication, very flexible/accommodating of Fluffy’s needs and my schedule, and most importantly, took super good care of Fluffy. She’s a high maintenance dog that barks a lot, but I could tell immediately that Anthony is very confident in taking care of all kinds of dogs in all situations.”
“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!”
“Cesar was great! My husband took our pup over for a meet-and-greet prior to the dog sitting day and I think that helped him ease into his longer visit. We definitely recommend Cesar and will be calling him again.”
“Remo provided an evening of day care for our dog Grover. Remo is outgoing and friendly. Grover appeared to have a good time. Remo shared photos of Grover with us and told us they went on a walk along with spending time in Remo's yard.”
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.
“Mikele was fantastic with Archie! She was flexible when we were running way late for drop off. She sent lots of photos and made us feel so at ease while we were out. We hope Archie gets to see Mikele again soon!”
“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”
“Jay is wonderful with my Bambi. It was his first doggie daycare and he was very nervous. Bambi really enjoyed his time there, and while he is very friendly and sweet, he has some separation anxiety. His time being away from me and at Jay's day care has already helped with this issue. I know he will love to go back to see Jay and the other dogs in the future! Thank you!”
About: Your Pup 🐾 will be at home with my friendly miniature Poodle 🐩 and a part of our pack until you are back! It's the individualized care you want for the most important member of the 🐶 family! woof-woof! My schedule is currently flexible & I have an active miniature 🐩 Poodle. We go on at *least* one 🐾 walk a day, but more if the SF weather permits. While I'm home often, my house is doggie proof & safe for the short times I may not be. My dog is free range inside my 2 bedroom apartment & I'm able to accommodate the same for yours or do crate that you bring over. Your dog can join us on the couch (like family!) and sleep where they feel comfy! In light, I can only host & care for hypoallergenic type coats at this time.
“Eunice took such wonderful care of my senior dog, Marshall. It's clear Eunice is an animal lover and is such a kind person. I felt so confident leaving my sweetheart with her and knew she would take great care of him. Eunice sent me multiple nice updates while she was watching my dog, including cute pictures and comments about what he was up to. It was clear she had listened so well to little things I mentioned to her that he liked and might want to do while she was there with him. I couldn't recommend Eunice more, she's lovely and clearly such an animal lover and caregiver!”
“Saige has been amazing with Kuma both times that we booked with her! She is attentive and communicates well, and very flexible as well! We love booking with Saige and know that our dog is in good hands with her!”
“Our 4 months old puppy had a great time with Yunhee. She spent her day care with two other doodles which made her much more confident around other dogs. We appreciate all the photos and updates Yunhee provided and we look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“My dog stayed with Alina on 2 separate days. The first day she was nervous and cried a lot, but when I brought her for her second stay, she was all wagging tails and smiles. She felt comfy and cozy and I’m grateful we have someone she feels good about.”
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“I was so glad to find Daniele’s Doggy Day Care. I just needed childcare while I got my hair done in the city. It looks like my Riley had a lot of fun with her little doggy and I appreciated her flexibility with timing since I wasn’t sure how long I would be. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine so they feel comfortable while you're away. I've cared for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and colleagues, and I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training routines, and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those who may be a little shy or anxious. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and updates while you're away. I have a very flexible job where I choose my shifts so there will be plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I always do my best to be punctual and communicate to the clients. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make every effort to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm attentive on walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and avoid situations that could make pets uncomfortable or unsafe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean and tidy while you're away. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: In addition to being raised sharing responsibility for our household cats and dogs, I've been providing house sitting and pet care for my community for as long as I can remember, and thus have ample references I'm happy to provide! Aside from regularly caring for dogs and cats, I also have snake & reptile and even horse experience! Making sure your animals get the care they deserve is really important to me, and it's always heartwarming to meet new fun creatures. I am a student working part time and I'm very well available to take care of your animals. I'm best available for visit and house sitting services. One of the reasons I wanted to join Rover was that I am moving into a pet-free apartment and I'm really excited to get my dog and cat fix. I don't have availability to host animals, but I am a diligent walker/visitor/house-sitter with years of experience. It makes me feel good to take care of your space and your pet because it offers me a sense of adventure and newness that I often look forward to! I'm always happy to provide references upon request. I've got many :) Family and external, too!
“So reliable. Got along super well with my bid dog. Listened carefully to instructions. Kept my dog safe, loved, exercised, and fed. I like that he is a San Francisco native who has lived in my neighborhood forever. Very good human!”
“Tobin was INCREDIBLE with my dog Ruby. He was on-time, sent updates every 30 minutes and was beyond kind. Ruby loved him and we will certainly hire him again. Highly recommend.”
“We have a reactive dog and Joseph has been doing a terrific job managing her in our neighborhood with lots of dogs. You’re so great to help and so happy that fell. Get these walk during the day.”
“Lauren was great - she came for a meet and greet, had great questions, arrived right on time, and followed all instructions! I would definitely book again.”
About: I am a lifelong dog-owner taking a break from my regular 9-5 looking to get outside and stay active. I am responsible and love pets of all kinds. I am currently taking a career break so I can be available pretty much at all times on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I prefer afternoons to mornings. I am responsible and knowledgeable around all types of dog breeds having grown up with them as well as looking after various family members and neighbors over the years.
“Shanna is potentially the best dogwalker and dogsitter of all time. She is a kind, generous, smart, thoughtful, rad human who knows dogs and people well and seems to be a wizard at making sure everyone has what they need. Our dogs adore her and are despondent when they don't get to see her!”
“Martha is easy to communicate with, super reliable and very caring towards my pups. I feel lucky to have met her and so relieved that my little fluffy friends have Martha to take them out each day!”
“First time using Dogvacay vary happy with the experience. Contacted Maria because my scheduled changed and Hercules needed some time out of the house to get a walk. Maria took very good care of Hercules got him a really good walk and he seems more relaxed. Hercules gets very excited when Maria comes over. Mariais very tentative sends updated pictures and videos”
“RJ was very professional and easy to work with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy the time that he spent with them on walks and during playtime, and RJ appeared to connect with them as well. Excellent service provider and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him to care for my pets in the future. Thanks RJ!”
About: I have owned and cared for large and small dogs, cats rodents and reptiles. I am attentive and loving to even the most persnickety of animals! I am working on applying to jobs in a new field and have a lot of availability right now for sitting, walks and check - ins. I have a very safe vehicle for transporting animals and can take care of certain animals in my home if the circumstances are correct. I respect your home and boundaries and can provide references.
About: Hey, I'm Taylor! Loving animals is not my whole personality, but it's close. I've been taking care of dogs big and small since I was a kid, and done more serious pet sitting and walking for friends & neighbors since 2017. Pictured is Wheezy, the love of my life: a half Boston Terrier half Pitty I rescued around 5 years ago and nursed back to health. Holler with any questions! I am a journalist and work weird hours! Generally available for afternoon and evening walks both week days and weekends on a case by case basis!. I have a fenced garden area where my pup loves to tromp around. I also live very close to Alamo Square Park, where we love to walk and play if you're comfortable with your pup being social. I've trained Wheezy to return when off-leash but never let other pups off leash without owner permission. In the home, I've got a large crate if needed.
About: My family has had dogs since I was born up to 4 at a time, small and large so I have lifelong experience taking care of numerous breeds of dogs. For the last 3 years, I’ve had a 24 lb mixed breed dog. I love taking her to the beach and dog park! Update in 2026: I’m currently between full time jobs so available during the week to care for your dog! I’m currently between full time jobs so very flexible during the week days and can likely accommodate your normal feeding and break/walk routine. My building has a fenced yard for quick potty breaks and we live nearby a fenced dog park and the panhandle/GGP for longer walks.
About: Saw my childhood dog through 16 full years of life and dogsat many breeds for family and clients over the last 15 years. Volunteer of 2 years at a senior dog rescue and dog body language and safety trained. Experienced with puppies all the way through seniors with special needs such as vision loss, hearing loss, anxiety and medication administration. Happy to provide further references. Work fully remote and make my own hours, so my schedule is highly flexible and I'm home to give lots of attention during the day. No other pets at home, but female roommates who will give lots of belly rubs. A stone’s throw from Alamo Square dog park and close to Panhandle and Golden Gate Park for plenty of green space. With remote work, I’m happy to house sit if that would make your pet more comfortable.

“We had a great experience boarding our pup with Go. He is very quick to respond, communicates clearly and is very pleasant and friendly. We had a meet and greet twice before we actually left my pup with Go and his wife. They were kind to Hira, asked good questions, clearly went through my care instructions. We felt comfortable boarding for almost 3 weeks. Throughout the stay Go sent pictures, and kept us informed. They took Hira to the park every day and she seemed very happy and comfortable with them. We will definitely rebook for our next trip! Highly recommend! Thanks Go!”
About: Shelby grew up with Labrador retrievers ever since she was 5 years old. She has experience with medication administration, ear cleaning, walking, and more. We have a 2.5 year old dachshund who we crate, potty, and leash trained. We are both dog lovers with some of our friends saying Shelby is “the most dog obsessed person I’ve ever met.” We will strive to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible while respecting any rules and boundaries you have in your own home. We absolutely love every kind of dog and would give your fur baby 5 star care ⭐️ We both work from home, so our schedules are very flexible. We take our dog out 3 times a day for potty breaks and several walks a day. We can really take your dog out whenever is needed, as one of us is always available. Our home is very, very dog proof. Our dog loves to eat everything so we’re very mindful of keeping things tidy. Especially with larger dogs, we put away our dogs smaller toys, so that there’s no possibility of them being ingested (there’s the labrador experience haha!) we will be around and loving your pet 24/7 while they’re in our care ❤️
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was incredibly thorough and went out of her way to ensure both our dog and us were comfortable with her, her family, and pets. We got plenty of photos and videos while we were away which is great for peace of mind and knowing he was having fun. Best of all, our pup seemed sad to leave Cynthia and her family which spoke volumes to us about the care she provided while we were gone!”
“Gautam was amazing with our Cheddar boy! Very attentive to details and took incredible care of our dog. He was super communicative, prompt, and reliable. Provided consistent updates and photos, which we do appreciated. I would 10/10 highly recommend Gautam and would 100% re-book. Thank you again Gautam! 🥹🙌”
“Christine was super kind and caring, and my lab Lincoln loved staying with her. She was extremely responsive and provided update photos of Lincoln throughout the stay. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“First time using Rover and we were very happy! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands, and got updates daily. We were nervous about our dog trying to slip out the front door in a new environment, but Rob's gated entryway put us at ease.”
“Matthew is so kind and patient. Soo appreciated the updates during Edison’s long stay! Matthew gave Edison the attention he needed and I got back a happy dog. Can’t imagine a better first impression! Thanks and look forward to our next stay.”
“Stevenson was awesome with watching Ollie over Thanksgiving! He sent me lots of photos and was great at communicating. I could tell Ollie was well taken care of, and I will definitely use his help again😊”
“Mick saved our butts after another sitter cancelled at the last minute! Was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. At our initial meet and greet, Knuckles immediately picked up on the good vibes Mick emanates and seemed to feel at home. We returned from our trip to a very happy pup. Thanks again Mick!!”
“Saige made sure my boys were well exercised and loved! She sent me many updates and photos and made sure to ask lots of great questions. I felt very safe leaving my pups with her and would do so again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and I have always loved walking/caring for dogs. I have boarded family member's and friend's dogs since I was a kid. I enjoy long walks alone, but I would love to be able to have a furry friend with me :) I work a very flexible hybrid schedule where I go in 2-3 times per week for no more than 6 hours at a time. I have the most availability on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. I am attentive dog sitter. I would do as much as possible to make the dog feel comfortable as possible (following a meal schedule, going on walks, etc.). In a work day, I would go on at least two thirty minute walks.
