“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Excellent communication! My dog was super happy the entire time, and was well loved. He even made a few doggy friends! I will absolutely be a regular of Amandas, and cant recommend her enough.”
“Ben and his family took wonderful care of our two pups. We received plenty of updates, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I was especially nervous about leaving one of our dogs, who can be quite anxious, but Ben’s knowledge and experience quickly put me at ease. Our pups came home happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send them back again.”
“As always, I am always satisfied with the care, love, and reassurance Leah provides for our Callie. Leah is amazing, so hospitable and feels like a close friend/ family member is watching your fur baby! Highly recommend!”

“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“Knox had a great time and was very well cared for. Would definitely book again. I am grateful that they watched over him and did such a great job.”
“Michael and Kris were awesome. Vito came back home happy. Vito is a reactive dog and we're always anxious dropping him off at a new sitter. But Michael and Kris made sure we went about our day stress free and Vito enjoys his stay.”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“TR is TeRrific!!!! She takes great care of my cat and is very responsible. She always sends me pics and videos too. I have used her twice and will use her again every time i go out of town. Thanks TR!!!!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Megha and his family! They are extremely responsive and communicative, and they clearly love dogs. We received tons of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease the whole time. They were very thorough, took our dog on plenty of walks, and gave her lots of attention. Truly a wonderful family of dog lovers. Don’t look any further, we’ll definitely book with them every time again!”
“Joyce did a wonderful job boarding my dog while I was on vacation! She was communicative and organized. I enjoyed receiving pictures and videos of what they were up to while I was out; and my dog came home happy and healthy. I'd absolutely leave my dog with her family again!”
“Xuhui is definitely the best sitter I have ever met! She took excellent care of my dog, Honey, and sent me photos and videos every day, updating me on how Honey ate, played, and went about her day. I watched Honey go from being nervous in a new environment to feeling completely comfortable there. Xuhui walked her, played with her, and even shared her homemade dog food—broccoli, carrot, and chicken—with her.”
“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Melissa and Hyun were great sitters! They took good care of our dog and made him feel at home. They followed our detailed instructions and helped keep our routine while we were away. Our dog is pretty energetic and they made sure to take him on long walks and runs to take his energy out every day. Most importantly, they sent regular updates with photos daily. They are clearly experienced dog sitters! Highly recommend!!”

About: As a lifelong pet parent with 2 cats of my own, I understand feline boundaries, routines, and body language. Known among friends as a "cat whisperer," I provide calm, patient care that helps even shy kitties feel secure. Meds & Routine: Experienced with precise feeding schedules, playtime, and gentle medication administration. Safety First: Committed to keeping your cats safe, happy, and stress-free at home. Updates: Clear communication and cute photo updates with every visit!
About: I’ve spent years caring for cats through long term fostering and frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but cats have stayed a constant part of my life. I’m detail oriented and reliable. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know your cat is happy, fed, and comfortable. I’m also mindful of how different cats are, some love attention and play, others prefer quiet company, and I adjust to what your cat needs. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions!
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for 15 years, and I currently share my home with two of my own. Living with them has taught me that every cat has a unique personality, communication style, and comfort level. I enjoy taking the time to earn a cat’s trust rather than expecting every interaction to happen on my schedule. I love finding ways to engage with my cats beyond their daily care. I’ve taught them several tricks, and one even uses speech buttons to communicate! Those experiences have shown me that patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement can go a long way when working with animals. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications and eye drops when needed, having done both with my own cats. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship from a respectful distance, I’ll provide attentive care while following their routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”
“Ni was wonderful! I came home after a long weekend away to find a happier kitty than when I left. And Ni was great communicating both before and during the time she was cat sitting. Highly recommend Ni if you need someone to watch your fur baby :)”
“Jacob checked in on my cat while I was away. He gave a thorough care to her, and sent me a full report. Plus, he’s very kind! I can’t thank him enough, hope to get his help again.”
“Yukie was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She played with them so well and kept them super active and happy. She was also amazing at managing their quirks, especially making sure Noshi didn’t steal Haru’s food! She cleaned the litter boxes extremely well and even took care of a barf incident without any issues. Haru, who is usually very shy, warmed up to her right away. Our cats were clearly very loved and well taken care of the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in Yukie’s hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Laura is the best! I have rebooked with Laura multiple times and will continue to do so in the future. She provides amazing care for my cats and is super kind and professional. I have a very shy kitty that is temperamental with strangers but she will eat in front of Laura and come out of her hiding spot under the couch during drop in visits which is unheard of for her! I highly recommend booking with Laura.”
“Anke provided amazing care for our three cats! She was wonderful with the daily medication two of them require and was so loving and attentive throughout her stay. We will definitely be asking Anke to watch them again on our next trip!”

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves!

About: Hi! I’m Pei :) Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routines, and quirks. I previously cared for a friend’s dog for several weeks and truly enjoyed being part of their daily routine. Whether it was walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I loved making sure they felt happy, safe, and loved while their owner was away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with photos, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home.

I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and am happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, which is why creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so they can feel at home while you're away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or prefers a quiet space, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention that's right for them. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication for complete peace of mind.
“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and proud mom to a 2 year old French Bulldog with IVDD. She is quiet, submissive, and a little timid, so I understand the importance of gentle care and patience. I only take potty-trained, non-reactive dogs who are ready for calm love and attention. Having grown up with dogs all my life, I know how to read their cues and help them feel comfortable and happy. I would love to care for your furry friend and make them feel right at home. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats, and we don’t have experience caring for them, so we are unable to provide cat care. I have a flexible work schedule, and the days I list as available on Rover are frequently updated. On those days, I can give your pup my full attention, including walks, love, playtime, and cozy snuggles. Our apartment is secure and gated and our dog-friendly community even has an on-site dog park for safe walks and playtime. For the comfort and safety of all dogs, I like to do a quick meet-and-greet with my dog to make sure everyone feels happy and relaxed together.
“Ezra took excellent care of Apollo! She sent periodic updates to throughout the day and I felt very safe leaving him with her. It’s clear she cares a lot about the dogs she watches and I’ve already booked her for future stays.”
“This was our first time using rover. One of our dogs is very anxious and doesn’t get along with other dogs so we only trusted them being watched by my MIL. However, we decided to just give it a try. Nataliya was amazing. Great communication and most importantly caring and loving with our fur babies. So excited we found her and would definitely recommend.”
“Mikayla was a fantastic dog sitter. My mom and I were on vacation in SF, and we wanted to do the Alcatraz tour. We inquired about getting Carl, our corgi dog sitting. Mikayla answered immediately, and we dropped off Carl in less than an hour. She communicated well and treated Carl so well! If I’m in SF, Carl will visit Mikayla for dog sitting. Thank you, Mikayla for an amazing service!”

About: I grew up with English Setters and an American Bulldog, so big dogs with big personalities have always felt like home. I even helped with training our Bulldog, which taught me that consistency, patience, and understanding body language go a long way. Every dog is different, and that’s one of my favorite things about them. Some want to sprint around the neighborhood, some would rather stop and sniff every single blade of grass (and I’ll happily wait while they conduct their very important investigations). I enjoy figuring out what makes each dog feel comfortable, happy, and engaged. Whether your dog is high-energy, a gentle giant, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are. My goal is simple: make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. As a mechanical engineering student, my schedule varies a bit throughout the year. I keep my calendar updated to reflect exam weeks and semester schedule changes, including the transition at the end of August. I believe pets deserve unhurried, attentive care, so I only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to. That means when I’m with your pet, they have my full attention, not just a spot squeezed into a busy schedule. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I’d expect someone to show mine. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, respect any household rules, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet has fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a cattle ranch in a small town in Utah, surrounded by animals of all kinds. From livestock and horses to chickens, goats, potbellied pigs, and multiple family dogs, caring for animals was simply a part of everyday life. Those experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand the unique personalities and needs of different animals from an early age. As an adult, my passion for animals has only grown. I personally trained my own service dog, gaining valuable experience in obedience training, behavior management, consistency, and building strong bonds through trust and communication. Today, I share my home with three amazing dogs: my service dog and her two sisters. After close friends sadly passed away, I adopted her sisters so they could remain together. The girls have been inseparable since they were puppies, and watching their lifelong bond has deepened my appreciation for the emotional connections dogs form with one another. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, structured routines, or plenty of affection, I provide attentive, dependable care and treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is my daily life. With open availablity and work from home it works out great for me as a bay area photographer it gives me the time to spend with the pups with minimal time away. right now, I am taking care of clients for babies at their homes taking them for walks to their favorite places hikes and if the client wants play dates with my girls following feeding and medication requirements and needs for each individual Pup

About: I’ve cared for rescue dogs for more than 15 years, and I currently have three friendly dogs at home. I’m used to all kinds of personalities—shy, energetic, or senior—and I make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to giving each dog the care, structure, and affection they need to feel relaxed and happy during their stay. I have open availability and spend most of the day at home, so dogs are rarely left alone. Caring for my 3-month-old baby keeps me on a home-based routine, which means your pup will always have supervision, company, and plenty of time for walks, play, and relaxation in a calm, safe environment. I have a large fenced backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. My friendly dogs love having visitors, and we always do slow, calm introductions. We follow each owner’s routines closely and can crate your dog if needed. I make sure every pup feels safe, supervised, and comfortable—just like part of the family
“Ana is incredible. She bends over backwards to make herself available, and willingly accepts last minute requests. Additionally, she genuinely loves our dog, and the feeling is mutual.”
About: I truly love animals. I am that person that will pull over on a busy road or highway to save an animal or bring a lost animal home until I find the parents. Your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!
About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.

“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Excellent communication! My dog was super happy the entire time, and was well loved. He even made a few doggy friends! I will absolutely be a regular of Amandas, and cant recommend her enough.”
“Ben and his family took wonderful care of our two pups. We received plenty of updates, and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. I was especially nervous about leaving one of our dogs, who can be quite anxious, but Ben’s knowledge and experience quickly put me at ease. Our pups came home happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to send them back again.”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“It was my dog’s first time boarding, so he started anxious. But Sofiya took care of him wonderfully, I think he left with good memory!! Also, thank you for pictures of Sammy with big smile 😊”
“Michael and Kris were awesome. Vito came back home happy. Vito is a reactive dog and we're always anxious dropping him off at a new sitter. But Michael and Kris made sure we went about our day stress free and Vito enjoys his stay.”
“I’m very glad I chose Ghazal to look after my dog Grace during my trip away. Ghazal provided multiple cute pictures everyday of Grace, updates of her activities, and was an excellent communicator throughout the week. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would schedule her services again.”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Melissa and Hyun were great sitters! They took good care of our dog and made him feel at home. They followed our detailed instructions and helped keep our routine while we were away. Our dog is pretty energetic and they made sure to take him on long walks and runs to take his energy out every day. Most importantly, they sent regular updates with photos daily. They are clearly experienced dog sitters! Highly recommend!!”
“We had a really great experience with Son while he took care of our dog, Bru. From day one, Son was super responsive and easy to communicate with, which made being away from Bru a lot less stressful. He checked in with us every day to let us know how Bru was doing — how his mood was, whether he was eating properly, and how he was settling in. As a pet parent, those little updates mean everything. Son was also very thoughtful and respectful about Bru’s routine. If there was ever a situation involving new food or any change, he always asked or kept us informed first, which we really appreciated. He was also incredibly accommodating, coordinating smoothly with a friend of ours for Bru’s drop-off and pickup, along with all his things. That flexibility made things so much easier for us. Most importantly, we could tell Bru was comfortable and well cared for. We truly loved the way Son looked after him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Son to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet boarding option. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“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!”
“Nataliya was great with my dog, communicated and sent photos daily, I felt secure with my dog at her apartment in a gated community, she made sure my dog was walked frequently and well cared for and followed up with any special instructions, I would definitely have her stay again, thank you!”
“This was my first time using this service and was a little nervous, but Angelina put all my concerns at ease. She sent me picture updates through out the day, and it was clear my puppy was getting a lot of love and attention, and was having fun! I will definitely use Angelina to watch my puppy again. She was fantastic!”
“This is the second time I've booked with Parrish and she was amazing! I feel comfortable leaving Loki with her. She's very communicative and I know I can trust her thank you 😊”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”
“We left our dog, Brody, with Anlin for 13 nights, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As this was our first time working with Anlin, I was a bit nervous about such an extended stay, but he put me completely at ease the moment we met. Brody can be a generally nervous dog, but Anlin handled him perfectly. Throughout the trip, I received frequent updates, including photos and videos, which made it clear that Brody was happy and being truly cared for. Anlin was also incredibly gracious and proactive in working with us to ensure Brody had fresh food throughout his stay. We are so grateful for his care and absolutely look forward to working with him again!”
“Meredith (and Barry) took great care of Mylie. It all started with a Meet & Greet that went very well. Mylie is a very shy one, but took to Meredith right away (with some bribery treats, of course). The house was cozy and she provides music/TV to help make the stay super-pleasant. Great communication and photos of our baby. Mylie can be a challenge on walks, but everything seemed to have gone well. She really cares for your furball and you know they're in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience with John. He watched our whippet, Benoît, over the 3 day weekend- who’s sometimes anxious when there’s changes, but John handled everything with so much care and calm. We really appreciated the regular updates and the sweet picture he sent; it made us feel completely at ease knowing Benoît was in good hands. When we came home, Benoît was relaxed and happy, which says everything.”
About: I have been involved with animals all my life, from hand raising puppies and kittens born at home to adopting my own furry friends from rescues. I can offer a warm, friendly environment, no matter the age of your pup. I have spent time fostering puppies and am comfortable with house training, crate training, and channeling puppy energy into constructive toys, puzzles, games, and behaviors. I will have no problem treating your senior pup with the care they need as well, including any medication needs they may havel. I have a 4 year old dog who would love to play with your puppy and is calm enough to handle an older dog with less energy or mobility. While I do have cats, they are used to dogs and will be either indifferent or play with yours, depending on temperment. Pet care is incorporated into everything. Our daily routine is typically as follows: 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM - Breakfast, outside for morning potty break, and medication for one of the cats 9:00 AM - Trip to th dog park or long walk around the neighborhood, typically about an hour 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM - Chill at home, various trips outside throughout the day for playtime or training, and potty breaks 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Dinner time and trip to the dog park if one didn't happen in the morning 7:00 PM - Medication fora a cat the cats 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Outside for the last potty break for the night This schedule is relatively flexible around any drop offs and pick ups needed for doggo friends spending the day with us. Our schedule is adaptable to include the needs of any additional I strive to provide a safe environment for all my pets, and this extends to any temporary addition to my home. My place is gated with a large grassy area for potty breaks and playing. Our dog has several canine friends with the neighbors and they will often get the zoomies together chasing each other outside. When traveling I make sure to buckle my passengers in with seatbelts that clip to their harness and at night I use LED collars so everyone can be seen.
