“Anusha is the best dog sitter around. I don’t think I’ll ever book vacations again without checking her availability first. She provides photos and videos daily updating us on their adventures together. She is very knowledgeable and treats our dog like a member of her very own family.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“This is the second time we hired Juliana to watch our dog, Maui, and we were very happy with her services. She's very communicative and shares updates and pictures regularly. Still highly recommend her and we look forward to a future booking with her.”
“I’m so grateful and blessed because Farbod and his wife took my pup, and treated her as their own. They were very responsible, updating me here and there about Poochie, which I totally appreciate, and helps when you are away from your pup. They are very responsive also. For sure, without a doubt, I will be a repeat client. 💕 Thank you Farbod and wife, can’t thank you guys enough!!”
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Diana is my go to sitter. Ruby always gets so excited when we get to her house that she doesn’t even notice when we leave. The photos we get from Diana are great!”

“This was our second time having Nevin take care of our dog, and once again they were absolutely fantastic. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring and reliable hands. They’re attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely love what they do. We really appreciated the updates and the extra care they put in—it makes all the difference. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog sitter!”
“We have used Kimberly’s services for our little Chihuahua Terrier Zoe on several occasions and have always had a great experience. Zoe is well taken care of and Kimberly keeps us updated on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Kimberly any day!”
“Winston seemed to really enjoy his time with Aadya. She sent me several pictures during his stay and updated us on how he was doing. Winston had a lot of areas to walk around to. Will be using her services again soon.”
“Pissamas took wonderful care of our senior dog. It’s clear she has lots of experience with dogs. She gets to know your dog so she can provide the best care and make them comfortable!”
“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”
“DR had a wonderful time with Lyan’s and her husband - and Dexter also. Thank you very much for taking very good care of DR. We will definitely come back. Thank you.”
“Jacqueline was so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous until we heard back from Jacqueline. She was professional and very flexible, especially because it was a last-minute booking. We actually booked the night before a 10 AM drop off. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a special family gathering and we weren't at all concerned about the dogs' well-being! She lives in a great area and was very responsible! We will definitely contact her again in the future and now we are sold on Rover!”
“Sabrina did a fantastic job of looking after Mili, our 8 year golden retriever while we were away for the weekend. She was always responsive and sent updates/pictures everyday. Mili had a great time and we will definitely use Sabrina’s services the next time we need a sitter.”
“Milo had a great time with Megha and her family! Especially with their dog Barfi! They sent lots of updates and lots of photos of Milo, which helped me feel reassured that Milo was in good hands and that he was having a good time. Milo played so much with Barfi, and it really seems like he has gained a new best friend. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Jesse provided great service for our two fur babies! He was very communicative and fast at replying from the beginning which put us at ease. He communicated with us throughout the booking and sent us videos of our pups playing. They always looked like they were having a great time! I appreciated that he gave us tips and tricks when we did a meet and greet on how to handle our dog walks more efficiently. He is knowledgeable about dog behavior which also made us feel better. I would recommend Jesse 10/10 and will definitely be using his services again :)”

He communicated and sent pictures every day which was awesome to see how my pup was doing. Ron treated my dog as if it was his own, he will take care of your animal and make sure your needs are taken cared of. Thank you again!!”

Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away.

About: I have taken care of cats since I started pet sitting 8 years ago. I have cared for all kinds of cats in a sitting setting and when working in veterinary clinics. I can care for all breeds, ages, and needs of cats and my knowledge is much more extensive than your average pet sitter due to my studies of vet med in school!
“Pallavi has been doing a wonderful job with our very anxious rescue dog who is afraid of everyone and everything. She has been extremely patient, kind and warm hearted with him and as a result he is now trusting her in a way that he only trusts his family. She is very reliable, is responsive to all our directions and comes with many great ideas of her own. We highly recommend Pallavi if you need a great dog sitter who will put your mind at ease when you are not able to be with your pet!”
“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”
“Maddie took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. We have lot of cameras in our home and we could see that she took her time and tried to warm up to our stand-offish cat and even got some pets in. We would highly recommend her and plan to use her again.”
About: I understand the diverse needs cats can have, some preferring lots of attention and others wanting to be left alone. I will ensure your cat is safe and happy while you are gone. Your cat will have a clean environment and all the cuddles they want!
“Venkata did a fabulous job taking care of our cats during our recent trip. She was diligent, communicated well and sent regular photos. We were able to relax on our trip and know things were going well at home. I will hire her again without hesitation.”
“Stephanie is the best cat sitter we’ve come across. She’s loving, caring and treats our pets as her own😃. She responds very fast to texts and is very proactive when it comes to sending pictures of our pets. PS: she’s an awesome pet photographer ❤️❤️. We had a situation where one of our pets was not behaving his usual self, we called Stephanie and she adjusted her schedule to be there earlier with our pets. She is really awesome and you can see that she genuinely cares for animals. 100% will work with her again and highly recommend her service! ❤️”
About: I have been around cats and had them ever since I was a little girl, and I absolutely adore them. I currently have two kittens of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication, playing with them, and spending quality time with them based on their personality and needs. Whether your cat is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve while you’re away!
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have also taken care of cats for years. I have 2 cats currently, but have had 4 in total. I’ve had my 2 cats for 10 and 11 years and they are incredibly loved and cared for. I have experience caring for newborn kittens to senior cats requiring extra care. I have also cared for both sick kittens and older cats requiring specific care instructions and medication.
“Yu-Wen did a great job caring for our cats. Typically Yuki and Akira are shy and run from new people. My husband and I could tell from the first pictures Yu-Wen sent us, our girls were very comfortable and happy. You-Wen kept us well informed on how are girls were doing. We highly recommend him and we do plan to book him in the future.”
“Kristin is always great, and it's a huge relief to have someone I trust when there are so many other things to worry about with business travel. We've booked her multiple times now!”
“Valentina was the best. We were really concern because we had never let our 9 year cat alone at night since his sister died 3 years ago. He also is a special needs cat, on 2 meds and only can eat rabbit or duck prescription food. We met Valentina to make sure it was a good fit. It was!! Tony liked her at once! Fast forward, Valentina went out of her way to take special care of Tony. She kept me posted. And the best part , is he didn’t cry when I got home and he was fine during nite by self! It was wonderful knowing I can finally go away and our little furball will be just fine without us Thank you Valentina!”
“Ariana is professional, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond. Her Rover cards were super thorough and transparent. She took such care of my baby - you can tell she is a true cat whisperer by how quickly my baby began to trust her. I will definitely be requesting her top notch services again in the future.”
“Carrissa is super sweet and caring. My cat immediately made friends with her and was extremely comfortable. She loves animals and her positive energy and passion comes through in every interaction.”
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”
About: I have lived with animals (mostly dogs and one cat) my entire life. I started off with taking care of my own dogs and then volunteered at shelters throughout high school and undergraduate school. I have house sat and animal sat for friends and family off and on since 2022. I've watched over a range of animal personalities from very excitable and energetic to reactive and anxious. I also find it very important to maintain grooming, hygiene, and activity/mental stimulation for your pets. I do not have experience with dog training, however, I have successfully trained my own dogs with basic commands. I moved out to the Bay Area 2 years ago to be a full-time PhD student at Palo Alto University. While I do have work and school, I am remote most days in the week (Thursday through Monday), so I can dedicate the time and care your pet needs :) I appreciate having an average schedule including times they go outside, walks, feeding, and hygiene so I can help your pet have as smooth of a transition as possible. I tend to follow your pet's cues and slowly build the trust between us. I love giving them affection while maintaining the training and expectations you have. I like to take pictures and/or videos for you so you can get your daily dose of your pet!

“Romeo enjoyed his day with Melissa, Vaughan and Beanie! Melissa was easygoing and caring, she even went above and beyond with extra long walks and potty breaks for him. She sent updates throughout the day, which was appreciated. Beanie’s house was very pet friendly, and Beanie was cute and well-trained as well :) Thank you!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, relatives and clients for years. Our house is their pets’ second home when they travel or need us. I can do the same for you, too. During the weekend I am mostly home. Weekdays, I partially work from office and home. There is plenty of time to spend time with your pet or walk them frequently. My husband works from home full time, so there is always one or two adults at home. We live in a single house with a fenced backyard, and there is a big greenbelt right outside our backyard ( see images). Therefore it’s very convenient for frequent walks or play time for your pet. They can also meet other dogs as well. As a family, we are comfortable with being around furry friends. We volunteer with my daughters at a local farm cleaning, caring, patting…. Love it! Our own cat-Zeytin is very calm and friendly. We love to play, walk, cuddle, spend some quiet time with our pet and guest pets and will do the same with yours, too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Nevin
“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request too.”
“Rachel and her husband are amazing! They are welcoming and you can tell they really LOVE fur babies! They took photos and kept me in the loop on how my pup was engaging with their dogs. My pup had a fun time and he was definitely tuckered out from the playtime. I will definitely book with them again! A+^”
“Jesse was great and helped with socializing our dog with other dogs that were staying over very quickly! Jesse also sent pictures and videos throughout the day. Looking forward to having Wallie staying again in the future!”
“I want to give a huge thank you to Bruno and his fiancée for taking such amazing care of my husky, Nova, especially on such short notice! From the moment I reached out, Bruno’s communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. He asked about Nova’s allergies, schedule, and any personal preferences to make sure she’d feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Within the first hour, I received pictures and a video of Nova walking and playing happily with their sweet pup, Jojo. Throughout the day, Bruno continued to send updates, pictures, and videos, in total, I received 15 photos and 4 videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Nova was not only being watched, but truly cared for. They even gave her snacks and a fun new topping on her food to make her feel extra special. On top of that, Bruno made sure to update Nova’s Rover report with a detailed summary: two long walks, potty breaks, food and water intake, every detail was covered. To top it all off, at the end of the visit, Nova went home with a goody bag and so much love. It genuinely felt like she had a mini vacation of her own. 💛 If you’re looking for responsible, loving, and attentive care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Bruno and his fiancé enough. They treat your pup like family and make the whole experience stress-free and joyful. I will absolutely bring Nova back again, this is the kind of care every fur friend deserves!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay-cation :) I felt confident with the care and love he received and would definitely like to have Charlie stay again. He cried for Christopher when we drove away which I found really endearing. Thank you!”
About: I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day.

I’m patient, friendly, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just watching them, but actively engaging with them and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care they need. I work from home as a freelancer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your dog won’t be left alone for long.

About: I used to have many dogs and experience with dogs of all sizes. All of my family members have dogs of all different breeds so I am familiar with different personalities and temperments. Dogs get a lot of attention and frequent walks. I would take them for leashed walks around the neighborhood and they can roam around indoors and outside in the fenced patio area. I am familiar with administering oral medications and applying ointments. I have a furminator and can offer bathing. I am available every day of the week including weekends. Dropoff and pickup times are flexible. I have different toys that the dogs can play with. I can follow specific care instructions for your dog. Your dog will be treated like family. I am home with my kids full time so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. Pets should be good around children. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old and I do not want them to get hurt and I do not want the pets to get stressed out by the children. I have a fenced patio/yard. Lots of grassy areas outside for leashed walks. Pets are allowed on couch and in bed. Area in home for puppy pads if they are used to using those. Pets would be treated with lots of love and care as if they were our own.
“Diana hosted Nick for his first ever daycare! We were very concerned since he is very shy and reluctant to interact with strangers, but we felt like Diana did as much as she could to make him comfortable. We received lots of photos and updates throughout the day. We also had a meet & greet where we ensured that this would be a good place for him to stay for both his safety and for any other dogs. Strong recommend!”
“We had a dinner party and needed a pet sitter for Cache fo just a few hours in the evening. Steve was accommodating of our schedule and welcomed Cache into his and Mya's home. Steve was confident, friendly, and engaging with Cache. Cache enjoyed long walks and playtime with Steve and Mya. Cache returned home exercised and ready to rest after his active play date. We will definitely call on Steve again for doggy day care!”
“Lyan is an extremely kind and understanding person. Kuma had a great time staying in her care! We were provided pictures during his stay, and she took extra precaution to check portions of his food.”
“Becky took excellent care of my boy! He stayed with her for the day while I was at work and she kept me up to date on how he was doing and made she he got plenty of exercise. He’s home and snoozing happy as can be. Will definitely use her again:).”
“Our dog Lulu is so happy and well taken care of by David’s family. Todd is my main contact who is David’s dad. We love the video and pictures he sent us. Lulu took a walk in the park and played with their dog Lucky. Thank you for taking good care of Lulu.”

About: With 20 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve worked with all types of dogs and cats, understanding their unique needs and personalities.

I’m committed to providing personalized care that goes beyond the basics, making each visit a positive and comforting experience for your furry family members.

About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks I am a full time dog sitter/ tutor, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (5.5 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 15).

“Venkata checked in on our 7 month old puppy. She was prompt and very communicative. Our puppy has some anxiety with new people and she was extremely patient with her. She is a very nice lady and I completely trusted her to take care of our puppy and home.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, houses, children, and more since I was 15. I’ve always loved animals as well as helping people out when they need it so this opened many opportunities for me at a young age to take care of pets for the people around me. Through networking with those people I was able to extend further and meet more people to provide care for. I have multiple years of experience dog sitting and walking, cat sitting, and house sitting in addition to raising my own pets over the years. There is no pet I couldn’t come to love and enjoy being around and I love how taking care of them can also enrich my own experiences and knowledge about animals! I can walk and care for small dogs to large dogs as long as they aren’t completely without basic training. I also have experience caring for elderly/sick dogs and cats including following specific feeding concerns and keeping up with medicines. I recently graduated college and am unemployed so I have plenty of time to spare for your pet! I am open to any walking length and am flexible with times and days. I also have plenty of experience house sitting and taking care of pets in their own homes/environment. I am great at keeping routines and following a schedule so caring for pets fits perfectly into my day! I take instructions and guidelines seriously when taking care of people’s pets so I make sure to follow them accordingly and carefully. I utilize whatever resources made available by clients to take better care of their pet. I also always make sure pets are comfortable with me and that I can properly understand and care for their needs! Whether a pet needs a slower walking pace, longer or shorter walks, specific food, or needs certain conditions to be comfortable or safe in their home I make sure to accommodate their needs.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life, growing up I had three different dogs, Ruby, who died when I was 8, Ollie, and Zoe. I’ve had three fish, two mice, a lizard, and a hamster. Starting at age 12, I began dog and cat sitting for my neighbors and friends, and many families have relied on me for the care of their animals when they cannot be there. I also study animal science with a pre vet concentration in school so I'm extremely knowledgeable on how to correctly interact and care for pets I am currently a full time pet sitter, so sitting is my whole life at the moment. During the year I study animal science but when I am not working over the summer I love to read and bake! I always make sure front doors are closed or locked, pay special attention to certain rules and expectations of different pet owners, and never let animals out of my sight unless they are safely inside or in an enclosed outside space.
About: I volunteered with the Humane Society of Silicon Valley to help socialize rescue dogs and cats of all levels of shyness. My own dog was a rescue who needed a lot of time and care to open up to people. I have also dog sat for multiple dogs at a time! I have very open availability! I am a university student on break so I have no other obligations. I can stay overnight as well to keep your pet company. I'm used to cleaning up messes if your pet gets sick, and am able to let your pet out to pee/clean their litter box at any time! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs.
“This is my first time ever hiring dog walkers, and while I was always open to the idea, I was a little hesitant at first. Willow and Tingting have completely exceeded my expectations. They have been amazing with my little girl, Pepper, and always provide thoughtful updates after every walk. Their communication is so detailed that I almost feel like I'm right there with them. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Pepper is happy, well cared for, and in such loving hands. I couldn't recommend them more!”
“Maddie was great! She responded very quickly, and arrived a few minutes early for the walks. She was great with the pup and he was happy to go with her. Will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need help with the dogs! Thank you ?”
About: Hii! I'm Brenna! I just graduated from Cal Poly SLO and am a soon-to-be elementary school teacher! I have 3 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone to make your dog feel safe, happy, & well cared for! I'm active, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or just getting lots of love and attention, I'll make sure they have fun while you're away! My experience working with children has also taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities (which dogs definitely have lol). As a recent Cal Poly graduate and incoming elementary school teacher, I have a very flexible summer schedule and enjoy staying active, so daily walks and outdoor time are already built into my routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and happy. Every pup has different needs, so I make sure each walk is tailored to their energy level and personality :) Whether your dog loves a long adventure or a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to match their pace. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings, and following any instructions you provide.
About: I’ve taken care of my own Siberian husky for 5 years and have also cared for other clients’ dogs for over 2 years. I’m comfortable with large or highly energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience and consistency. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I currently do not offer pet boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to visit clients’ homes for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while you’re away.
About: I've been taking care of friends cats and dogs for years. Working remotely provides me the ability to house sit and spend quality time to care for my friends and families animals and Rover just seems like a natural fit to help others allow for their pets to stay in their natural environment (their home) when their human's are out of town. Not only will I feed your Fur Family members, I'll play with them and bond with them. I look forward to meeting your dogs and cats...and you as well. P.S. I have a special place in my heart for the elderly Fur Babies and have the patience required to care for them as well. Currently I'm studying for a new career, so online real estate school allows for me to be available mostly all of the time. I can study when house-sitting with your Fur Family member and it also allows for me to stop in for feedings or walks as well. I've been sitting for a long time for friends and family. I literally have keys to many friends homes, to make it possible to not have to meet prior to their departure. I sit for these friends so often they have told me to keep a key. I am on top of feeding times and restroom breaks, or even walks but I also build friendships with these fur-babies. Watching TV or sitting in the backyard...I pay and love on these amazing pups and cats. I connect with animals very well and quickly, they become a part of my family to some extent, I look forward to sitting for my friends and getting the opportunity to spend time with their family member/s (their cats or dogs). I look forward to caring for your pet as well!!
“Charlie is the absolute best! She has been doing daily walks for my dog and it is the highlight of his day. His sits by the door waiting for her to arrive, gets so stinking excited when she shows up and toodles off with her in heaven. Charlie provides detailed updates on the walk and is highly communicative with us. In short, I could not recommend Charlie more!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with at least one dog and currently have 4. I have a 14 year old border collie mutt, a 7 year old aussie/german shepherd mix, and two 2 year old border collies. My oldest dog is around 90 pounds and my youngest around 30 pounds so I have a lot of experience handling/taking care of a wide range of dogs. I take them on walks or to the park very regularly and also take them on runs! I’m currently a full time student at UC Davis and missing my 4 dogs so I would love to take your pups on a walk to help fill that void:) I am home for the summer so I’m free most days of the week and am flexible on times. Like I mentioned previously I currently have 4 dogs so I have alot of experience with taking care of dogs. Two of my dogs currently sleep in crates so I’m very familiar with crate training as well.
“So happy with Abby! She walked our babies several days both this week and last, and she did a great job. She made me feel comfortable having to leave them for longer periods of time. Highly recommend working with her!”
“Riley watched our 3 year old golden retriever in our home while we were out of town on vacation. Riley's initial visit to meet our pup was wonderful, they asked lots of great questions, were organized and very professional. Riley always showed up on time and sent helpful information after each visit. We had a couple health issues come up while we were away and Riley did an excellent job communicating and sending pictures. I would highly recommend Riley.”
“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats, and today I’m the proud dog mom to Leo, my 4 month old Siberian Husky. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I have several years of experience house sitting and caring for pets while families are away. I previously worked as a nanny for a family and was also responsible for caring for their energetic Labrador, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he received plenty of attention and exercise. That experience made me very comfortable handling large, high energy dogs. I also regularly care for my dad’s 3 year old German Shepherd/Husky, Luna, and have house sat for them on numerous occasions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing reliable care so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands. I currently have a flexible schedule Monday through Friday, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care visits, walks, and check ins throughout the day. This flexibility means I can tailor my availability to each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning feedings, midday drop-ins, or evening care. Because of this open schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and stick closely to their normal routines, which helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m also able to adjust my day as needed to ensure reliable timing for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. Pet care naturally fits into my routine, and I prioritize it as a meaningful part of my week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so incorporating visits and care throughout my day feels seamless and rewarding. I prefer to care for pets in their own home or take them on walks around their neighborhood, as I currently have my own young puppy at home. I find that pets are most comfortable and relaxed when they’re able to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent experience that mirrors their usual schedule. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning if needed, exercise, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. If in the future, it works out to where our animals get along with each other, I would not mind making a special arrangements to care for your animal at my home. For dogs, I enjoy structured walks around their neighborhood so they can feel secure in familiar surroundings while still getting the exercise and enrichment they need. For cats and other pets, I make sure their environment stays clean, calm, and stress-free while they receive attentive care. My goal is always to provide reliable, in home care that keeps pets comfortable and helps owners feel confident while they’re away.
“Courtney has been a God send! I started using Rover just a few months ago and she was my very first dog walker and first experience…and I have nothing but positive things to say!! She’s very responsive, responsible and sends me pictures of my senior pup when I’m away. I can see the pictures and her messages and it’s comforting, and brings me peace knowing he’s in great hands. ❤️ I highly recommend her.”

“Anusha is the best dog sitter around. I don’t think I’ll ever book vacations again without checking her availability first. She provides photos and videos daily updating us on their adventures together. She is very knowledgeable and treats our dog like a member of her very own family.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“This is the second time we hired Juliana to watch our dog, Maui, and we were very happy with her services. She's very communicative and shares updates and pictures regularly. Still highly recommend her and we look forward to a future booking with her.”
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks I am a full time dog sitter/ tutor, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (5.5 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 15). My husband works from home 2 times a week as well.
“Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !”
“Jacqueline was so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous until we heard back from Jacqueline. She was professional and very flexible, especially because it was a last-minute booking. We actually booked the night before a 10 AM drop off. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy a special family gathering and we weren't at all concerned about the dogs' well-being! She lives in a great area and was very responsible! We will definitely contact her again in the future and now we are sold on Rover!”
“Sabrina did a fantastic job of looking after Mili, our 8 year golden retriever while we were away for the weekend. She was always responsive and sent updates/pictures everyday. Mili had a great time and we will definitely use Sabrina’s services the next time we need a sitter.”
“Jesse provided great service for our two fur babies! He was very communicative and fast at replying from the beginning which put us at ease. He communicated with us throughout the booking and sent us videos of our pups playing. They always looked like they were having a great time! I appreciated that he gave us tips and tricks when we did a meet and greet on how to handle our dog walks more efficiently. He is knowledgeable about dog behavior which also made us feel better. I would recommend Jesse 10/10 and will definitely be using his services again :)”
“Excellent host with a great environment for our dog we really appreciate the care and home you provided for our dog while we were away. It was great to get the updates and photos saying that he was having such a great time.”
“My experience with Ron was amazing! This was my first time ever letting someone watch over my best friend(pup) and Ron made me feel really comfortable that I wouldn't have to worry about anything. He communicated and sent pictures every day which was awesome to see how my pup was doing. Ron treated my dog as if it was his own, he will take care of your animal and make sure your needs are taken cared of. Thank you again!!”
“Son, her husband and children did a wonderful job looking after PENNY. As soon as I met the family, I knew she was in good hands. They gave her an immense amount of love and attention. She went on adventures with them throughout the Bay Area and coastal regions. She had so much fun that it was like sending a 12 year old to summer camp! I would highly recommend Son and her family to take care of your little dog or a big dog when the time comes. They are also my friends now.”
“10/10 Recommend! Sofiya treated our fur baby Jakey like family. From the moment we had our meet and greet I knew she had a special relationship with animals and a safe caring environment to host. She made sure Jakey was loved, fed, cuddled and played with and was really great at sending photos throughout the day and kept me updated on how things were going. Jakey loved meeting the other pets in the house. When I asked Jakey if he enjoyed his time, he gave me the wink of approval ;). Your fur babies will be taken care of really well with Sofiya and her family, mine will be back soon for his second visit!”
“Everything went smoothly despite my puppy’s high energy. Rachel and her husband offered a meet and greet, were curious about rules I have for my pet so they could adhere to them too, they gave her great exercise and an opportunity to play with their dogs, they are experienced and have a safe home, and it seems like my puppy just really liked it there. She came back tired and happy. I would rebook.”
“We booked with Jade because our regular sitter was out of town, but she (and her husband) may become our go to! She did a thorough meet and greet the day after we contacted her, and asked tons of great questions. She walked us through her home and yard so we saw where the pups would be (very uncommon in my experience, so I appreciated it). Their home was neat, nothing extra that the pups would get into potentially. I loved that they (and their beds) came home clean, there was only 1 additional dog (other than their 2 small ones) in their care, and they kept to our pups regular schedule. Jade and her husband take a very professional approach to their care, even though they both work and Rover is not their main gig. Thank you Jade, I’m glad we kept looking and found you. 😊 the pups loved hanging with them.”
“Michael and Karri (and Hank) are great. Fun updates throughout the stay and we came home to a dog that was clean and happy. They know the secret, a tired dog is a happy dog.”
“Lana took great care of our golden Maggie over the Christmas holiday. Maggie had plenty of exercise at the nearby park and Lana provided great pics of Maggie throughout the course of the stay. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future.”
“Diem did an awesome job with our pup Kenzo! We appreciate how attentive and communicative she was whenever we had questions or wanted updates. Kenzo loves spending time with other dogs, and Diem’s home was the perfect fit for that. We would definitely bring him back again!”
About: I have over 23 years of experience as a dog owner, caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to my own pets, I’ve provided dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, and I always focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for. My experience allows me to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I am usually home from work by 2:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced backyard and a dog door that leads to a secure space where dogs can go outside to relieve themselves as needed. I can also crate your dog if that is part of their routine. At this time, we do not have any dogs at home, as our beloved 14-year-old dog recently passed, which allows me to give my full attention to your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for in their familiar environment.
