“Anne is wonderful!! Our dog, Harry has stayed with Anne several times. Anne takes Harry on long walks a few times a day. She always sends updates with photos. We always feel comfortable leaving our baby with Anne. She makes him feel like family!”
“They were great! I had a last min sitter cancellation and Derek & Solip were so accomodating and responded quickly! My pup was happy when I picked him up and I could tell he was well cared for! Could not ask for more this last min!”
“Lynn is amazing and very professional! She took great care of Leo and it was great to see Leo socializing with other dogs. Leo fell sick and Lynn took him to hospital as soon as she thought it was necessary. We felt at ease knowing the way she looked after Leo. Highly recommend Lynn!”
“Taylor did a great job watching Tootie. This was my first time leaving her with someone she/I did not know, and he did a great job, making me feel calm and comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of. I loved the picture updates each day. I would definitely work with Taylor again.”
“Matthew and Bryant took wonderful care of our Reba! They sent daily updates and included Reba on all of their adventures. They even took her to the beach! We felt that Reba was very well cared for and we got back a very happy puppy. We would absolutely recommend Matthew and Bryant to anyone!”
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”
“Bee was an absolute lifesaver. We had a sudden family emergency and had to leave the country for two weeks. We needed someone to care for Presley at the last minute, and it was our first time ever leaving him, so we were understandably nervous. When we picked him up, we could tell he had been well cared for. Presley came home excited and healthy, which gave us so much comfort during such a difficult time. Her rates may be a little higher than some other sitters, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind—especially with our last-minute dog sitting needs. We highly recommend Bee. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm an artist working from home who loves spending time with dogs and cats! I often pet sit for friends, from short visits to boarding for several days, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping pets company so they feel safe and happy. I also tend to take way too many photos, so you can expect lots of photo updates while I'm with your pet! I work from home doing freelance work, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to plan my day around pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or staying with them for longer periods. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, and walks, and I like keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and not rushed. I live in an apartment right next to Washington Square Park and Coit Tower, so it’s really easy to get dogs out for nice long walks and some additional short walks to get some fresh air! I also have a 3-year-old cat who’s used to being around dogs. I keep my place clean and calm, and I pay attention to how each pet is feeling so they’re comfortable. I’m also happy to follow any routines or instructions so things feel familiar for them.
“Faviano provided the best dog sitting environment ever. He sent great photos, regular updates, and was flexible and responsive. He obviously loves dogs.”
“Kara & Val were absolutely wonderful with our high-maintenance Frenchie! They handled frequent meals, four different medications, and pet messes with ease. Their communication was stellar, and we were actually able to relax on our trip. Plus, our pup enjoyed sunbathing on their patio and snoozing in their laps. We have grown to really trust them and will definitely book again.”
“Nathan took great care of Primo. Communication was easy from start to finish, and he sent regular updates with photos, which we really appreciated. Primo came home relaxed and happy, and it was clear he had been well looked after. We’d definitely book with Nathan again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“As always, Gabrielle and Paddy take loving care of our precious’s Micco. We received daily updates and pictures, even a video of our curious boy checking out a box. I highly recommend Gabrielle and Paddy as sitters/boarders.”
“Sally did a great job. She was really communicative. You can tell she loves dogs. She asked many questions ahead of time to ensure that she could provide a good experience for my dog which made me feel like she was well prepared. Her dog Cosmo is very sweet and got along well with my dog”
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“Our second time leaving our dog with Wendy and I can't stress just how well Wendy looks after her. Our girl Obi and Wendy's dog Remi get along really well and enjoy long walks and endless play sessions together. Obi always comes back happy and tired.”
“Jenna took fantastic care of my little epileptic dog while I was gone for a week. It can be nerve wracking to leave him because his medication schedule is complicated, but she was kind and communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing he was having a fabulous time with her. Thank you Jenna!”

“Really grateful that Sammy could help us take care of Pepper for the 2nd time on a last minute request. Sammy performed all the duties required, gave very detailed updates and even sent multiple photos of Pepper even though she was hiding under the bed. We always feel assured that Pepper is well taken care of with Sammy!”
“Elric is very professional. Though we only booked 4 visits during 10 days, he came at least 6 times to take care of the pet and appliances at our home. He even did some vaccum to keep the house clean. Overall, I will give him 6 out of 5.”
“Maddi was wonderful! She sent tons of pictures and was able to accommodate all the requests I had for the kitties. It was nice to have a worry-free experience. Thank you!!!!!!!!”
“Noelle did drop-in visits with my cats while I was out of town and everything was great! She communicated about how everything was going and sent multiple photos each visit. Would recommend her services :)”
“Kylie took such great care of my cat Summer! It was my first time using Rover and as an anxious cat mom I was immediately reassured by Kylie's presence. She shared tons of pictures, videos and gave detailed updates on check-ins.”
“We had Kaki take care of our two cats, Zeus and Athena, while we were away for a week, and she was absolutely wonderful. Zeus is an extremely shy cat — our friends usually don’t even catch a glimpse of him until the third visit, if they’re lucky. Somehow, Kaki managed to coax him out, play with him, and become friends with him on her very first visit. We were genuinely amazed! Throughout the week, Kaki sent us lots of photos and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on the other side of the country. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up the occasional cat mess (including the classic “poop on the floor and stuck to the butt” situation), which we really appreciated. It’s clear that Kaki genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend Kaki to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter.”
“Marian was amazing with my anxious and not always welcoming cat, Parsley, while we were away. She was super communicative, provided great updates and was able to really understand what my cat needed!”
“I couldn’t ask for a more caring, responsible person to care for our three cats while we were away. She provided for their diverse feeding requirements, got to be friends and played with them every visit, reported on what she and the cats did, and sent us photos after each visit. An outstanding person. You can unreservedly trust your cats with her.”
About: Hello ! Although I am new to Rover, I've taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and have always had a natural connection with them. When they're in my care I treat them as if they are my own babies. In recent years I have often taken care of my sister's dog Juniper. We have a special bond and she's taught me so much about being a dog aunt :) I helped train her as a puppy and watching her grow up has been a source of so much joy in my life. Many people have observed my warm way with animals especially cats and dogs. I am very attentive, affectionate and protective with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently finishing up my degree this Fall semester and have class once a week. I am flexible most of the week including weekends. I am available to dog or cat sit. If your dog or cat has special needs I am able to provide basic support and care. I am also available for dog walking services as well.
“Donna was SO excellent of a pet sitter. She really made you feel comfortable that she was caring for your fur babies. She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. Our cats also adored her ??”

“Derek & Stella were great with Benny! Very communcative, easy drop off/pickup and he came back tired. Would absolutely use them again and do reccomend!”
“Ms Shanice is a very gentle person. My doggie seems she had a great time at her place. Also her doggie is the perfect assistant!! It was the first time for our doggie to stay in the dog day care or with someone else, but our family is very happy that Ms. Shanice could help our doggie for the new experience.”

About: I’ve cared for 2 cats and 1 dog since I was 19. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets! I work from home full-time in my apartment, which has a built-in dog park. Therefore, my schedule is pretty flexible on weekdays and weekends. I usually walk dogs in the morning and night time. I can also walk around the lunch time. I have a security alarm and camera in my apartment, so I can always monitor the pet running inside or outside.
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and I was more nervous than my pup! But they did a great job taking care of him and providing me with updates throughout the day.”
“Sally took great care of my anxious little dog, giving her long walks and plenty of personal space, as she is afraid of strangers. I’ll definitely book her the next time I need a sitter.”

“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 ❤️”
“Carlotta is great, my dog has a great time and she is very communicative. Having a larger dog it’s always great finding someone who feels comfortable with them. 100% recommend!”
“Auntie Anne is the best! She takes great care of my pup as if it were her own. She is very responsible, communicative, caring and I am so grateful for her care of my dog!”
“When our dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute, Dylan came to the rescue! With almost no notice, he took in our pups and took such great care of them. He stayed in touch, sending updates and pics, and was very flexible with our schedule. We are so appreciative of Dylan and would recommend him to others in or traveling to the San Francisco area.”
“Leo was wonderful with my dog — attentive, caring, and reliable. I could tell my pup felt comfortable and happy the whole time. Great communication and updates throughout. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Mary-Frances took such good care of our pup, Paprika! This was Paprika’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Mary-Frances made her feel right at home. She also gave me updates throughout the day which made us feel at ease leaving Paprika for the first time! Paprika had a fun-filled day of walks and playtime. She didn’t want to leave when we picked her up 😆 I would recommend Mary-Frances to anyone and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog dad for 18 years, most recently caring for my senior baby through her final years, including a custom home-cooked diet for kidney health. I said goodbye to her earlier this year, and while I’m not ready to bring home a baby of my own just yet, I miss having one around every day. Sitting and boarding lets me give that same love and attention to other babies in the meantime. I know how to spot subtle changes in appetite, energy, and mood, and I treat every baby in my care like my own. I work from home full-time in a flexible role, so your baby gets consistent company and attention all day, not just quick check-ins. I’m available for daytime care and overnight boarding. Your baby stays in a calm, quiet home with my full attention, no chaotic multi-dog daycare energy. I live right near a park, so your pup gets as many walks as they need to stay active and socialized, not just a quick backyard break. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, special diets, and medication schedules, and I treat every stay like I’m caring for family.
“Kabir is a truly excellent puppy sitter/walker who our pup loves to hang out with. He is extremely reliable and responsible, and will provide you with regular pic updates of your baby’s stay. Kabir will tire your pup out and will hand him back to you with his tail wagging! Highly recommended!”
“Richard and his partner take tremendous care of my spoiled dog, Linford. They have been willing to accommodate last-minute requests and I'm always confident Linford will have a great time. He is happy to see them each time he stays at their place. Thanks, guys!”

“Carolyn is nice, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She walked my dogs every day at least once per day (occasionally booked for twice per day) for about 1.5 weeks while I was at work. I would book with her again.”
“Kylie has been nothing short of amazing for my two pups Mango and Mercy. My dogs are aloof and slow to warm up to strangers but Kylie has been sooo patient, kind, and gentle with them. They both absolutely ADORE her.”
About: I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pup loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I treat every pet like family. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special requests, always making sure water bowls are full and your furry friend is comfortable and happy. I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and treats (with your approval, of course!), and I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I’m patient, reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs.

Jonah has some quirks and has to be watched pretty carefully on walks around the neighborhood (he likes to graze) and Rachael has adapted so well to his walks and demand for pets!

“Sam was an incredible host for our two pups. We are so appreciative of the attention and love she gave them, her communication, and her giving us the peace of mind that they were in the best hands. They were so obviously comfortable and at ease with her. She is very thorough and makes sure that she knows all about the dogs’ habits and routines in order to make their stay is as smooth as possible. We also had to extend our trip and she was very kind to accommodate us. We are so lucky to have found Sam!”
“Jesse was great! He took amazing care of Wally and he sent me a lot of pics and videos of their time together. Will definitely bring Wally back and would definitely recommend!”
“Alina accepted my boarding request very quickly and was amazing at communicating how my puppy was doing during her stay. Highly recommend Alina for any of her services ☺️”
About: Hi there! I've been a pet owner my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs of all breeds and I've been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Now, for the first time in my life, I don't have any pets, and honestly, I miss having them around - which is exactly why I'm excited to care for yours! I was active in 4-H and trained Belgian Sheepdogs in positive-reinforcement based obedience. I've owned dogs as small as a Japanese Chin and as big as a Newfoundland, so I understand different dog temperaments and energy levels. I've also been watching friends' and neighbors' pets for several years, including high-anxiety cats, senior dogs, and recent rescues - helping them to feel calm and secure while away from their family. I work from home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long. For play time, potty break, and snuggles, I'll be there. I can easily walk dogs multiple times a day and will be around most of the day to keep any dog or cat visiting me company. Sometimes I may pop out for a gym session or grocery run, but that's about it. I mostly just miss having a pet so I'll be so happy to be around yours! I have no pets of my own currently. I live in a secure, quiet apartment. Depending on pet needs and temperament, they can have the run of the apartment or be limited to the main living room (which is where I work). My apartment has no yard but I'm in a great neighborhood for walks and I make sure doggies get plenty of fresh air. Since it is an apartment, if your dog is extremely active and boisterous, they may be happier boarding somewhere with more room to run.
“Sonia was a great petsitter, actually felt more like an instant friend. We left our three dogs with her for 15 days at felt totally at ease. She kept up on pictures and there was even a party. We will be using Sonia in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of all dogs, and had an English Cream Golden Retriever named Lucy growing up. I trained her as a puppy and cared for her all the way into senior care. I’m great with all pet ages, don’t mind washing/cleaning your pet, giving long walks, or anything else your pet loves to do. I will always make sure your pet has the best time when they’re with me! Pet care is best for me from Thursdays - Sundays, as well as holidays. I work full time in person, but am back home usually by 5:15. I make sure to write down everything about the dog. Eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc. Recently, I just set up a camera for the dog I just dogsat to make sure nothing is going wrong. I clean the dog’s paws to ensure that they aren’t dirtying the home. I also vacuum and wipe down once a day. I would love to meet you and your pet!
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“Kaz and Yoko are absolutely fantastic sitters! This is the first time Izzy has stayed with someone that isn’t family and she was so happy and well cared for. I am so glad to have found sitters who I trust completely and who Izzy loves so much. I loved how communicative they were with me and would send me photos everyday and I could see all the fun Izzy was having. Izzy is looking forward to her next stay with them in two weeks! Thank you!”
About: I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I have a flexible schedule and can check in on your animal throughout the day. I have experience with cats and dogs - and have 2 cats myself! I just moved to the city and my partner and I have flexible work from home hour. We would love to watch your furry friends while you’re away. I treat all animals that I watch as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities when watching your pets.
“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!”
“Katie was fantastic with our little lady! She provided lots of picture updates, communicated great, and I could tell Cedar had a great time with her. I trust Katie to take good care of our dog :) grateful!”
“We just completed a great get away to Napa, which means our dog had another wonderful stay with Leo and his family. I am so grateful for his flexibility when scheduling and his willingness to take care of Max. Our dog loves his time at his home away from home with Leo!”
