“Jenna was so great watching our little Dachshund. She arrived almost 15 minutes early to our meeting point. I was worried because our dog had never been away from us . In addition he also has separation anxiety when I am not around. To our surprise he connected with Jenna right away and didn’t even notice when I sneaked away. She took care of our Elliott as if it was her own per. I can highly recommend Jenna and will for sure book her again if needed. Thanks again so much Jenna for giving us an enjoyable night out.”
“Shelley was so great taking care of my dog as usual. She sent regular updates, and I could tell really cared for my dog. She was also accommodating when I had to change my pickup time. Would highly recommend her!”
“Poppy had a great time with Derek and Stella (and their dog Lucy). I received a lot of update photos and videos of Poppy while she was staying with them. Additionally they were able to accommodate me needing them to last minute keep her for a few additional hours and accommodated a late pm pickup. Will definitely be using them again!!”
“Sonia always takes the best care of my girl, Poppy! I never have to worry when Poppy is in Sonia’s care, as I know she is very well loved and taken care of. Poppy is looking forward to seeing Sonia again, soon! 🐶”
“I've left Mocha with Ivy a few times and she always takes great care of him. Mocha really likes seeing her and her family. She also sends me multiple pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Ivy.”
“Sherry was wonderful, sent lots of updates, and took great care of my dog. I would love to book her as a sitter again in the future! My dog had a great time playing with her sweet little dog as well, he was very happy and very tired when I picked him up.”
“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!”
“We really appreciated Gabrielle and Patrick watching our dog for a week during our honeymoon - we got great, comprehensive daily updates and our dog really warmed up to them, which made us feel very reassured while away. Thank you so much!”
“We are very happy to have met Remo on Rover. He takes wonderful care if our two pugs and tbey come back healthy and content. And Remo offers up extra help, as when we needed more time. We will always call Remo first for our pugs' needs.”
“Poppy had a great weekend staying with Katie. Katie sent updates both photos and descriptions of what Poppy was up to all weekend. Poppy spent time going on long walks, sunbathing in Katie's backyard, and lots of playing with toys! I am so very appreciative and would highly recommend Katie!”
“Fabiano was great—very flexible with timing and quick to respond. He also sent photos of my dog and seemed like she har a great time with their dog, which was really nice to see.”
“The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.”
“I am so lucky to have found Carlotta. She loves our bull terrier Domani like if he was hers. We left Domani with her during the holidays and he had the best time, she always sent us pictures and kept us updated about everything! From now on, I’ll always ask her to take care of our furry baby while we are away. She isn’t only a wonderful dog sitter, she is a wonderful person!”
“Allison did a great job sitting my dog who was recovering from surgery. She was communicative, asked questions about my dogs needs, and sent photo updates, making me feel at ease during my trip. I would book with her again!”
“I had a wonderful experience boasting my little French Bulldog with Alina and her family. She sent photos of them exploring the neighborhood on walks which I know my dog loves to do. Alina is great at communicating regularly and is so kind. I could tell that my dog was happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Lan went above and beyond in the care of my dog. She not only gave my pup lots of park time and affection, but also got her nails clipped (it was necessary!) and organized her food into easy-to-carry containers. One of the best sitters I've ever hired, and I would be happy to do so again. Highly recommended!”
“Monica did an amazing job with Lexi. She took her out on lots of walks with her pup and kept her busy. I would totally recommend her and you can tell she really loves animals. She also sent pictures, vids and texts to update me, which I always appreciate.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her time with Abigail and Maddy! They sent us updates and were responsible with caring for our dog. Our dog came home happy and tired from all of the fun! Will definitely book with them again!”

“Caroline did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties while I was away for 2 weeks! She clearly made them feel very comfortable with her and she gave such great updates with photos each day. Would not hesitate to rebook with Caroline in the future!”
“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: Growing up we always had cats, and may I be so bold as to say I have a way with them. I know how to play just enough hard to get to keep them from being skittish, beating them at their own game. I know cats can get a bad rap but I love the challenge of winning them over!
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 who I view as my niece :) 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.
“Ariana did a great job taking care of my cat and made being out of town a stress-free experience for me! I really appreciated the photos and updates that she provided, and it seemed like my cat warmed up to her quickly as well.”
About: Hi, I'm Melissa! I work remotely here in North Beach, which means I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins and midday check-ins. I’ve been the go-to sitter for my neighbors for years, and I’ve learned that every cat is the boss of their own home. I’m big on "reading the room." Whether your cat is a social butterfly who demands immediate chin scratches or a "hide-and-seek" pro who needs a little space before they feel comfortable, I’m happy to move at their pace. I’ll make sure the litter is sparkling and the bowls are full, but I also make sure to stick around for some quality playtime or just some quiet company so they don't feel lonely while you're away.
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—quite literally since before I was born. Some of my favorite stories involve the wonderfully quirky, mischievous, and endlessly entertaining lives they've led. My beloved cat, Athena, passed away in 2022, and I still miss her sweet little heart every day. She was family, and she only deepened my appreciation for the unique personalities and quiet companionship that cats bring into our lives. Animals have always seemed to gravitate toward me, and the feeling is absolutely mutual. It would truly be my pleasure to care for your furry friend while you're away, whether it's for a quick check-in, an overnight stay, or a longer trip. I'm just as happy engaging in playtime and cuddles as I am simply sitting quietly to keep a shy or senior cat company. I also understand that inviting someone into your home to care for a treasured family member takes trust. You can count on me to treat your cat with genuine kindness, patience, and the very best care, while also respecting your home and leaving it just as tidy as I found it. I can't wait to meet your furry companion and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after until you're home again. (And yes, the photo is my girl, Athena. RIP, sweetie. ❤️)
“Sammy has been our favorite, most reliable sitter for our 2 cats. She sends lots of photos and videos of them having fun without us, and she's very conscientious to confirm when she's given their medicine and special meals. She takes great care of our home as well, making sure it's clean when we get home so we can relax. We'll keep hiring her as long as she's available!”
“This is my second time booking with Samantha. My cat always become much more calm after her every visit. This is the most important matter to me especially when I’m away, because my cat could get anxious after being alone for a while. I can tell Samantha take a good care of my cat! She’s also very responsive for coordinating schedules. I would highly recommend anyone reach out to her if your cat needs quality company when you are on vacation!”
“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!”
“Mick and Brit were great with my cat Milkshake! They provided lots of updates with photos and videos and Milkshake seemed happy when I came back from vacation.”
“Anita is fantastic! Our cat is typically so shy but she opened right up to Anita. She’s a great communicator and is very attentive to our furry friend’s needs. She shares pictures and videos during her visits and they’re really sweet to see. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Edna was so great spending time with my cat while I was away! My cat was very comfortable with her, and she followed all the instructions I left. I really appreciated her detailed updates every day!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for two wonderful cats belonging to friends and coworkers, and I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests. I always make sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of love and attention while respecting their space. Whether your kitty enjoys playtime, treats, cuddles, or simply a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while keeping you updated with photos and messages. 🐾😻

“Carlotta is amazing! Our pup Ash loves her - Carlotta is clearly a dog lover. She was attentive to Ash, flexible with us on communication and pickup/dropoff, sent lots of cute pictures; everything you want when you’re away from your pup. Ash came home happy, tired, and ready to cuddle. Highly recommend booking with Carlotta.”
“Ivy is a stellar pet sitter. From moment one, she was very attentive and caring, and she sent lots of photos. And she let Louise bring a toy back home with her.”
“I booked Shanice on very short notice so there was no chance for a meet and greet with my puppy Nico. I took a chance on her based her previous reviews. Nico was at her doggy daycare for 2 days. She is super sweet and friendly. Most of all she adored my puppy. He had a good time with her and her fur baby. She sent me updates on Nico with pictures of his day. Nico was happy when he was dropped off and happy when I picked him up. That is always a good sign. I will definitely book Shanice again!”

“Charles is an incredible dog sitter for our English Cocker Spaniel, Murphy. He shows up on time, feeds him as needed and delivers a very happy dog to us after a full day of play, walks and love. Murphy really connects with him and we are grateful for Charles. We have worked with him twice and we’ll work with him again. Thanks Charles!”
“Amber provided consistent updates throughout the day, keeping me in the loop. Pepper had the best day playing with Amber’s dog and taking walks outside. She came home a very happy girl! Would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Mengying did a great job taking care of our dog Maple! She took her on great walks and to some local parks. She also shared a ton of great photo and video updates. She was easy to coordinate pick up and drop off with - I really appreciated her timing flexibility!”
“Derek took care of our dog Hobbes while we took a day trip to Napa. He was super easy to coordinate with, and took great care of our pup. Hobbes came back happy and content. We will gladly have Hobbes stay with Derek again, and already plan to do so on an upcoming trip!”
About: I'm a UC Berkeley grad looking to dog sit or walk! I have had dogs in my life for over 12 years and have experience with bog large dogs and puppies. I currently have a very light schedule during weekdays. I already love exercising so walking and playing with dogs would fit into my schedule perfectly. I have experience with both big and small dogs and am generally able to read body language well. I know when to respect space and when it is okay to pet/cuddle. My home is best for smaller dogs as we do not have private outdoor space, but do have many parks nearby. I would keep dogs on leashes unless allowed to let them off in fenced in dog parks only. I will respect all rules of each client's house if house sitting.
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 ❤️
About: I've been caring for and walking dogs since I was a young girl and have always had a love for animals. Over the past several years, I've provided pet care through a side business, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I prioritize safety, reliability, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I treat every dog like they're my own and love building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I enjoy building time into my day to help pets stay happy, healthy, and comfortable. I always follow the pet owner's routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and get any meals or medications according to instructions. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs, whether they prefer playtime, long walks, or extra cuddles. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with respect, keep things clean, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away.
“Gabrielle and Patrick were amazing and accommodated an emergency boarding for my pup! There was clear communication from the beginning with a chat the day before, and they very clearly know how to work with dogs and their different vibes. Would rebook!”

“Kelvin is VERY affectionate and caring towards all the pups he takes care of! My dog loves going to Kelvins and whines when it's time to leave ("grandparents syndrome"!!)

About: As a city dweller for more than 30 years, and a longtime cat mom I know just how special our urban pets are. City dogs have incredible parks to explore, and I've always smiled at the sight of cats peering out windows, happily watching the world go by. I'm a true animal lover and have a hard time walking past a dog without stopping to say hello. And yes, I'm absolutely the person making little noises to get the attention of those cats sitting in apartment windows. While I don't currently have a furry companion of my own, I'm looking forward to that chapter again. In the meantime, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. I've shared my home with indoor cats for more than 20+years and understand their unique personalities, routines, and quirks. I'm equally comfortable with playful youngsters, mellow middle-aged pets, and sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. Whether it's belly rubs, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their familiar routine, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you—and your wonderful four-legged family member. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. I currently work part-time, which allows me to prioritize the pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection. Whether your pet needs a midday visit, regular check-ins, or extra company while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and I take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of your home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and routine. For dogs, I may also be able to offer overnight care in my home if it's a good fit for their temperament and needs. No matter where they're staying, I'll provide loving, attentive care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. If a pet is in my care, I make myself fully available to them and am attentive to their needs around the clock. I believe consistency, patience, and affection go a long way in helping animals feel secure while their family is away. You can also trust that I'll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.

“Emma is fantastic! She compassionately cared for our 11 year old Great Pyrenees with patience, love, and plenty of snuggles! Emma also took wonderful care of our home (mail, packages, trash, etc.) while we were away. We are so grateful for her - thank you Emma!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. I started by walking my aunt's dogs. Friends and Neighbors have also relied on me to walk and pet sit. I own a cute cat but can't own a dog because of the size of my apartment. So I would like the opportunity to play with adorable dogs. I like to wake up early for morning walks before work. I would like to become a dog walker so a four pawed friend can join me. I have years of pet sitting experience. My friends have flown me out to different cities so I can take care of their pets. I respect my clients home by watering their plants and taking care of their furry loved ones.

“Sonia always takes the best care of my girl, Poppy! I never have to worry when Poppy is in Sonia’s care, as I know she is very well loved and taken care of. Poppy is looking forward to seeing Sonia again, soon! 🐶”
“Poppy had a great weekend staying with Katie. Katie sent updates both photos and descriptions of what Poppy was up to all weekend. Poppy spent time going on long walks, sunbathing in Katie's backyard, and lots of playing with toys! I am so very appreciative and would highly recommend Katie!”
“I am so lucky to have found Carlotta. She loves our bull terrier Domani like if he was hers. We left Domani with her during the holidays and he had the best time, she always sent us pictures and kept us updated about everything! From now on, I’ll always ask her to take care of our furry baby while we are away. She isn’t only a wonderful dog sitter, she is a wonderful person!”
“I had a wonderful experience boasting my little French Bulldog with Alina and her family. She sent photos of them exploring the neighborhood on walks which I know my dog loves to do. Alina is great at communicating regularly and is so kind. I could tell that my dog was happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Betty was very sweet and sent me plenty of updates with pictures and videos. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she takes care of because of how attentive she is. Otis had a lot of fun so I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you!”
“Victoria was fantastic. Very quick to respond to my booking request. Lots of communication, photos & updates. She provided detailed notes from Gingers stay & went above and beyond to care for my baby! Ginger is anxious leaning, especially in new environments and Victoria hand fed Ginger & even offered some of her dogs food. I would HIGHLY recommend.”
“Raquel was absolutely wonderful with our dog Stevie! She took her on great walks, kept Stevie happy and active, and was communicative throughout the weekend, sharing photos and walking routes. I always knew how things were going without having to ask. It's such a relief to leave your dog with someone and feel completely at ease the whole time. We'll definitely be booking with Raquel again!”
“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!”
“Our goldendoodle, Harry, immediately gravitated towards Laura from the first meeting! Laura seemed to really prioritize Harry during his stay. They went on multiple walks a day to different locations and Laura always kept us updated on the fun things they were able to do. Would definitely recommend Laura and we hope to have her watch Harry again in the future.”
“Rosalie and Frank were simply amazing. We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we are in the city. They took great care of my senior dog and were super gentle with his needs (meds, walks, back issues, etc.). You won't go wrong with them. Thanks guys!”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I walk our family’s senior dog daily, taking him through the neighborhood parks and on beach walks at Crissy Field. I also walk my aunt’s golden when I visit and have experience walking a neighbor’s small dog when they were out of town. I have fostering experience, having cared for a two year old German Shepherd for two months. During that time, I took her on daily walks, administered her medicine, and helped her socialize with other dogs. I also fostered a nine week old puppy for two weeks, providing weekly baths with her special shampoo to address her skin condition. My background includes caring for dogs at different life stages and handling special needs, making me a reliable and compassionate caregiver for your furry family members. Pet care is a fundamental part of my daily routine. I walk our senior family dog at least once a day, typically in the morning or midday, and again in the evening or at night. These walks help ensure he gets regular exercise and companionship, fitting seamlessly into my daily schedule. I have a small backyard where pets can enjoy some outdoor time. Additionally, I have a friendly senior golden retriever who can keep your dog company and provide socialization and comfort. My approach to pet care, prioritizes, safety, trust, and creating a calm environment, whether in my home or yours.
“Cali stayed with Daniel for one night. She was comfortable with him immediately (which is rare) and seemed to have a good time! Daniel was easy to communicate with and very fast to respond”
“Thank you Michelle for taking Pumpkin over the holidays! Michelle took great care of our 1.5 yr old dog and was very communicative and helpful coordinating logistics. Highly recommend - thank you 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!”
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 ❤️
“Sends great photos and updates. Vanessa was super accommodating, glacier had hurt both of her rear legs before her stay and Vanessa was able to keep her comfortable during her stay.”
