“Sara took great care of Finnegan. He loved having Sara's dog as a buddy. Finnegan is a playful guy, so he loved having another dog to play with. Sara took them to dog parks and on walks. He came home happy and clean (thanks for the bath!). Sara is great about sending updates, photos, and videos. She's also responded quickly to our messages. Finnegan is happy and we're happy. Thank you, Sara!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our 11-month-old golden Murphy during an extended stay while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates the whole time, so we always knew he was in great hands. We’d absolutely recommend her, Murphy can’t wait to see her again next time we’re away!”
“Naum was great with noodle!! He provided a wonderful update at the end of each day with pictures and was super attentive to all of noodle’s needs. He asked questions about food sensitivities and other probing questions to learn about noodle’s quirks! The pictures and updates at the end of each day gave me such peace of mind. I would definitely use Naum again!!!”
“Yang was great! I received daily photos from their walk and our pup was his usual happy self coming back home to us. Will def use again in the future.”
“Sherry was wonderful with Vesta! First time leaving her overnight and I was anxious, but Sherry was reassuring from start to finish. Responsive, warm, and professional, with great updates throughout the night. She and Billie were just amazing! We will definitely be back!”
“Rita loved staying with Sonia! Sonia was so communicative and went above and beyond to help us, including providing pick up and drop off services. She sent many photos each day which helped with how much we missed Rita. We knew Rita was safe, happy and engaged! Would definitely rebook and recommend Sonia to everyone!”

We receive lots of photos/videos, our cats get plenty of playtime and attention, and we are able to enjoy our time away without worrying.

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was young, helping neighbors by feeding, checking in on, and spending time with their cats while they were away. I now have Benji, a 6-year-old (stubborn) cat of my own, and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or extra cuddly, I enjoy getting to know each cat on their terms. I provide patient, attentive care and make sure your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You'll also receive plenty of photos and videos throughout each visit, so it feels like you're right there with them. 🐱💕

“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.”
About: 🐾 Hi! We’re a caring couple who moved to the United States a few years ago, and animals have always been a big part of our lives. While we were living in Turkey, we spent years looking after cats and dogs, including our own pets and many stray animals in our neighborhood. We loved helping out by feeding them, fostering them, and getting them medical care when they needed it. We recently lost our beloved dog, and while that was very hard for us, it has made us even more committed to caring for animals with love and kindness. We’d love to share the animal love we’ve missed with your furry kids. We’d be happy to give your pets the same care and attention. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone, and we always treat every pet like family with patience, care, and lots of love. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, or just some company, we’ll do our best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. We’d love to meet you and your furry friend. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of our lifestyle. We structure our days to include regular walks, feeding times, play, and companionship, ensuring pets receive consistent attention and care. Since we plan our schedules around the pets we care for, we’re able to be flexible and attentive to their individual needs—whether that means extra walks or simply spending quality time with them so they feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are our top priorities when caring for pets. In our home, we provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision and no hazards. We follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special needs. In your home, we respect your space and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. We also send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
“Kimberly was such a great sitter for my cat while I was away for the week! She sent me such cute photos of her cuddling and playing with my little guy, and I never worried once above her showing up to see him. She was very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure his litter box was cleaner than she found it. Would absolutely book again!”
“We cannot recommend Sara enough! Our cats are super shy, but they warmed up to her incredibly fast, which speaks volumes about her gentle and professional approach. We deeply appreciated her thorough communication, level of detail, and all the wonderful photos she shared while we were away. Having that peace of mind allowed us to completely enjoy our vacation. Sara is a true professional, and we will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Alex did a fantastic job caring for our cat and we’d recommend her to anyone! She was communicative, thorough and took great photos and went above and beyond to make sure our cat had a great time while we were away. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. I am an attorney who works from home and I joined rover because I love and miss being around dogs. I have taken care of my parent’s three dogs (two Golden’s and one terrier mix) while they are out of town and have dog sat for friends as well. I am clean, organized and responsible and will take great care of your house and your pup. I live in Russian hill and I work from home with very flexible hours, so I can adjust my day around your booking very easily I will come to your home and make sure your pet is fed, walked, and entertained. I will spend the night and do anything else the home needs as well such as watering plants
“Kelly was an amazing watcher for Tyson during his time. I have a very fussy Chihuahua and only certain people and women with a good energy will allow him to thrive & give him the right space. He is also a little bit of an elderly Chihuahua so the special care she gave when he couldn’t see and his vitamins and food, as well as creating comfortable accommodations for him like letting him sleep in the bed was super helpful. She’s super responsible and communicative and quick to respond when I needed someone urgent! Tyson loves Kelli!!”
About: I love animals and enjoy their company. My dog Brooklin adopted me in 2021 and we’ve been having a great time. She rates me 5 stars every dog walk and adventure we go on. I don’t have plans for the holidays this year, and I thought to spread the cheers by dog sitting other people’s dogs so they can enjoy their time. I have a fully fenced backyard where the dogs can enjoy a little bit of freedom. I am a dog owner myself so everything is secure.
“Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We had to go out of the country for two weeks, the longest we’ve been away from home and pet. Andy took care of our home and looked after our cat during the entire time, playing with her, keeping her engaged and sending us constant updates and pictures of her. By the end of the stay the two had bonded which was really surprising to us considering our cat gets nervous when we leave. Highly recommend Andy and we’ll definitely want him over for any of our future pet sitting needs.”
About: I've owned and cared for cats my entire life, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries. I'm comfortable with everything from feeding and litter care to playtime, grooming, and simply providing companionship. I also know that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment, especially when their person is away, so I'm patient about letting them warm up to me at their own pace. I'll follow your cat's normal routine closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they're well cared for.

“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!”
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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Diana watched our pup with severe separation anxiety while we were away at work. We had a really good experience and especially loved the frequent updates throughout the day! Thank you so much!!”
“Chriz was so great with our senior boy! I was a little worried leaving Elvis since he was recovering from an ulcer but she provided updates and was able to follow his medication schedule. She's very caring and Elvis seemed to warm up to her quickly and was at ease when he normally can be a little anxious in new environments. Thankful to find a sitter like Chriz!”
“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!”
“Laura took care of our Yorkie, Olllie, for seven hours. This was our first time with Laura. Laura was very responsive, sent pictures of neighborhood walks and Ollie enjoyed his time. We will definitely use Laura again.”
“Emily was super friendly and communicative. She sent updates and photos throughout the day to keep us up to date. Walden seemed calm and happy when I picked him up from daycare. Walden warmed up to Emily almost immediately and I can tell he trusts her already. We will be booking care with Emily again in the near future!”
“Adriana was a fabulous sitter for our dog Mouse. She accommodated a last min early drop off and late pickup and Mouse was very happy when we picked him up! Will def use her services again in the future”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, helping friends, family, and neighbors. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and multiple walks throughout the day—not just before and after work. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a dog lover who works from home with a flexible schedule. Since I'm home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will get lots of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. I live just one block from a dog park, making it easy to enjoy fun outings (if your dog enjoys socializing). I also have a friendly beagle/terrier mix who loves meeting new friends and helps visiting dogs feel at home.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been enjoying caring for friends’ and family’s dogs while they travel for over 15 years. I was responsible for full time dog care up to 2 weeks including feeding, daily companionship when remote working and walking or hiking with dogs as well as overnight stays. Recently retired and expanding my dog walking/care to more pets. I recently retired and very flexible weekday hours, but away many weekends. If in town, I can likely open times for weekend days as well. My hours during the day are also quite flexible currently. I have cared for friends’ pets at their homes with overnight stays of a few days to a few weeks. Currently seeking dog walking opportunities but open potentially to future home stay care for pets.
“Taylor is easy to work with. She was very kind and patient with our two small timid dogs. They can be shy and bark or hide with strangers. She took the time to build trust with them and get them to play and go on walks. They were happy and tired when I got home. I would definitely hire Taylor again.”

About: Extensive experience taking care of a wide range of pups, from mini dachshunds to labs!

“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: I offer overnight sits, check-ins, and walks, and I take things at your pet's pace. I love taking dogs (and cats!) out slowly, appreciating the details of people's gardens while they have a good sniff, then opening up into a run to burn off excess energy. I'm always up for fetch, tug of war, and teaching new tricks and behaviors. Over the past few years I've been dog sitting and walking for friends and members of my community around town, and I help with the daily running of my housemates' dog boarding business at home. I've looked after animals with medical needs, from help getting to the bathroom to medication and insulin shots, and I'm reliable at following a feeding and dosing schedule. I'm comfortable with anxious or reactive dogs too, and I know how to avoid their triggers, hold to a routine, and build trust. I work part-time as a gardener and take online classes in project management, so my days stay flexible and I've got plenty of time to spend with your pet. My work as a gardener and dog walker keeps me on a flexible schedule. I can handle morning and evening feedings, midday check-ins, walks, and play. I adjust to each pet's routine. I keep pets on their normal routine, follow feeding and medication instructions closely, secure doors and gates, refresh water, and move slowly with shy or anxious animals.

“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.”
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 and affectionate with them. With that said I also know how to read them and respect their space/needs. I am currently a full time student so I am working mostly gigs. I am attending summer classes through July. 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.
About: Dogs (and cats are really a man's best friend... at least mine! I grew up raising various animals and I love spending time with them as well as taking care of them. I love to stay active, so walking dogs and keeping them energized is one of my specialities. I am a fun and loving person that will make your pet feel right at home. You can trust me to cater to your pets wants and needs and ensure they are having a great time! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule and would be able to dedicate enough time and energy to your furry pets. If you want a fun, energetic and loving environment for your pet while you are away... look no further! I currently work from home and can dedicate minimum 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the late afternoon. I will spend time during the day playing with them and keeping them engaged! I care for them and ensure their environment is safe, clean, and calm. I will provide enough private space in my own home or manage the space in your home.
“Kadi is so sweet and went out of her way to meet Zoey before walking her for the first time. She is communicative and very knowledgeable of all types of dogs. I felt very safe leaving Zoey in her care!”
About: Hi! I am a pet mom to a Maltese dog and a tortie cat, a mom to three grown daughters, and a grandma to five little ones. I love all kinds of furbabies, and I treat them as I do my own. I enjoy taking dogs out around the neighbor; I like to play with a good dog or cat toy. I am also great with cuddling. I can dispense pills or even do injections! I would care for your animal(s) with responsibility and love. Unlike dog walkers that I've seen, I don't text or look at my phone when walking your pet. Your pet's happiness and safety are my chief concerns. Please consider me for loving care delivered to your pet(s). All the best. I am mostly retired, and I enjoy getting out in the neighborhood, particularly when accompanied by a furry friend or two. Good sights and good sniffs are what it’s all about! I treat all pets as I do my own, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, and love. I make sure that pets are fed and watered. I clean up any “accidents.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have years of firsthand experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a longtime pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, basic grooming, and following established routines. I know every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Whether they want lots of activity and attention or simply someone nearby for companionship, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'll treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and care I'd want for my own—and keep you updated with plenty of photos along the way. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I'm also available for extended stays when planned in advance. I'm happy to work around your pet's normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routine so things stay as familiar and consistent as possible while you're away. I take the responsibility of caring for both your pets and your home seriously. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, home access, and any special needs or behaviors I should know about. I'll pay close attention to your pet's comfort and behavior, keep their environment clean and safe, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

“Maggie took Amazing care of Katsu, and was extremely responsive and communicative! Our dog felt right at home, and was thrilled to be in Maggie's care :)”
“Ellen was an amazing caretaker for our dog. She made sure he was comfortable with her 2 dogs before we committed to a few nights of him staying at her home. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I always appreciate. She and her partner were the best company for our dog! Will call them again.”
About: Animals seem to gravitate towards me, I grew up in the country surrounded by many animals and am a lover of all creatures. I have always learned that positive reinforcement is better than negative and I live by this rule. I work from home mostly, I’m very available, and am really excited to get to be around dogs on a regular basis again. I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs over the years, working from home allows me to help with my favorite furry friends when my people friends travel. Last year I lived on a farm and took care of two pit bulls for most of the year, it was a great joy to be able to run around with them and teach the puppy new commands. I am so excited to get to experience puppy love again regularly. I have done this for friends just for the joy of it and now to get to do it and get a little income too is just great.
“Rachel was great! She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of Gemma! I could tell in the pictures and videos that Rachel sent my pup was super happy and that made my trip even more enjoyable. I would definitely book with Rachel again!”
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 ❤️
“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.”
“Heidi was awesome with my pup! She was quick to respond and update me. My pup got lots of love and fun trips down to the beach! He always looked like he was loving life in all the pictures I got! Definitely recommend Heidi!”
“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!”
“I'm not sure who enjoyed the stay more, Katie or my dog! Very friendly, responsive, and sent photo updates which are very appreciated. Would definitely stay again!”
“Pete was the perfect dog sitter- extremely responsive from beginning to end, including a meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along. He religiously took them to the park to play every day and gave the dogs car rides too! I was so relieved to find a sitter who mostly works from home so that Vito would have the same attention on weekdays and weekends. I've already booked Pete to watch my dog during my next vacation!”
“Can’t express how happy both my cats and I are with Abigail! She is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to every care instruction. From check-in to check-out, she was well-prepared, communicative, and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her place is wonderful, comfortable, and fully equipped with plenty of cat supplies, toys, and everything needed to keep cats happy and entertained. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. 100% recommended, and I would absolutely book with Abigail again!”
“Anthony helped me take care of Garcia for 10 days over the holidays, which was awesome. Communication was good. Garcia always looks so excited to see him!! Thank you Anthony for the caring for Garcia!”
“Nova loves staying with Ruthy! When they first met, Nova was hesitant to hop in the car with her. Now she jumps right in, ready to spend the day together and hang out with her new friends. I'm sure she is already looking forward to her next visit. :)”
“Summer was wonderful! She took great care of our 3-year-old Shih Tzu, Panda, and kept us updated with regular photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was flexible, communication was easy, and both drop-off and pick-up were a breeze. We really appreciated her care and would happily trust her to watch Panda again. Highly recommend!”
