“Mario took good care of my dog and sent pictures throughout my time away. He was also very flexible with the time that I could pick up Copper. Will definitely use again for boarding.”


“Stephen and Maggie are fantastic! They looked after my very timid labradoodle for over a month and he settled in so well that he wasn't sure he wanted to come home. I'm so grateful to be able to travel without worries because I know that Loki is in the best of hands with them. Thank you!!”

“Sriram is a fantastic sitter! I’ve had mixed luck in the past, but he exceeded all expectations. My dog was treated like family, enjoying tons of walks and play in a safe, spotless home. Sriram’s constant updates and photos gave me total peace of mind. I picked up a happy, relaxed pup who clearly enjoyed his 'vacation’ lol. We will absolutely be booking with Sriram and his awesome family again!”

“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”

“I used Jalen on short notice for watching (boarding) my hound dog for an extended period of time of three weeks over the holidays. We met personally at a local park so he could meet my cantankerous pooch and Jalen was enthusiastic to watch my dog. Jalen sent pictures, kept in touch with me whenever I reached out. Highly recommended!”

“Karla took good care of dog and sent pictures. She was responsive to my messages as well as flexible with pickup and drop off times. Will be glad to request her services again in future.”

About: Pet lover will experience caring for my young dogs,as well as looking after dogs and cats for others. I am responsible, patient and dedicated to making pets. Feel safe loved and happy we while my care. Pet care fit naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to make sure pets receive their attention, exercise, and care they need, whether is daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company I care for pets by following their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client’s home I make sure pets are fed on time, have freshwater, get exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep their space clean and safe. If I care for pets in my home, I provide a calm, pet friendly environment, where they can relax, play, and feel well care for. I always treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Cindy was fantastic with Navy Bean. She was able to easily navigate his particularities and handle his medicine and potty schedule. She always communicated thoroughly any questions she had or what Bean was up to during the days/nights. She sent me many pictures of Bean and even a few videos. Cindy is kind, polite, punctual, and thorough. I would highly recommend her for whenever you need your dog cared for.”

“James and Jasmine are hands-down the best dog sitters we’ve ever used. They are incredibly professional and took the time to understand Toby’s specific routine and needs. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs and treated our Toby as their own. They were super reliable and kept us up to date with Toby's activities and sent us daily pix -- they truly went above and beyond to make sure Toby was comfortable and happy. We will definitely be booking them again! Thanks again guys!”

“Lai was gracious enough to accept a last minute booking and 1-day extension and is so friendly. She seemed very experienced and was immediately comfortable with my French Bulldog, Potato. Even though she had another dog at her house, she had a large pen to separate them in the living room since we didn’t have time to do a meet and greet. She was very communicative and shared a couple updates during the three day stay. Thank you Lai!”

“My pup had a great overnight stay at Julie's! Pick up and drop off was very smooth and she was a great communicator/quick responses. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve had cats all my life. I can't remember a time growing up when we didn't have at least one feline friend in the home. I have lots of experience caring for cats with special needs, and I provided hospice care for one of my senior cats, having to administer shots, pills, and IV bags on a strict schedule. I understand how difficult it is to leave a special-needs pet in someone else's care, but with me, your cats will always be in good hands!

About: I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention a cat needs, thanks to my three year old ragdoll Azul. Being a dedicated cat parent has taught me a lot about reading feline body language, managing different feeding routines, and recognizing when a kitty just needs quiet space versus a full-on play session. I offer drop-in visits. The basics are covered obviously: food, fresh water, and a spotless litter box. I also put great effort into ensuring your cat is entertained (and exercised). You can expect a solid update and lots of fun photos after every single visit. I really enjoy sharing those great moments so you always know your cat is safe, relaxed, and doing well while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend!
“Xilin and Xiang were amazing and took such great care of Nono while also keeping our home clean and tidy. We really appreciated them and felt so lucky to have their help during our two week vacation!”

“Rylie is a joy to work with! We have 2 adults cats still learning to get along, and she was super understanding of their needs in our home. She gave us regular updates, kept the area clean, and most importantly, the cats LOVE her! Rylie has great calm and kind energy that the cats picked up on during intros. We are so pleased with her care and we are looking forward to working with her again in the future!”


“Aik came by the house before his petsitting visit to learn where everything was... he followed instructions perfectly and sent a picture of the one cat who came out to see him when he was here. Looking forward to having him take care of the cats, house and plants again!”


“Kristin was wonderful! She took care of our cat Louis while we were away for the week. Kristin was prompt, detailed, and took the cutest photos of Louis. I felt so at ease knowing Louis was in Kristin’s care. Thank you!”

“Stephanie was great with our three senior cats, one of whom needs medication. They always seem so happy with her! We were out of cell service range backpacking the whole time and I had no worries. We will definitely book her again!”


“Yiheng is really nice and we asked her help multiple times when we’re out of town. She is really thorough and made sure both our cats get some play time and in good mood. 5/5! Our kitties really enjoying staying with you~”


“Milena is fantastic! We have three cats, one of which is rather cagey and requires medication every day. Milena took the time to do that as well as play with them and brush them. On the second day, our cat refused to come out for her medication. Milena took extra time to coax her out, was open to trying other methods to make her more relaxed, and kept communication open. Milena went above and beyond, highly recommend!”


“Jennifer is definitely a cat person and a reliable sitter. I appreciated her attendance, attention to instructions given, and daily updates. Each visit came with a summary of the interaction which was nice to read while away from home.”

“This is my 1st time using Rover so obviously I was nervous a bit. I’ve only used family and friends to check on my pets. Rachel was awesome in correspondence and quickly eased any worry. I met her ahead of time and introduced her to Milo, my newly adopted rescue cat. He went right over to her for a head rub. She was gentle, had a delicate voice, and he took to her which as you know is a good sign. Animals are very intuitive. I received easy and timely message exchanges showing a picture of Milo and proof that he had been fed and his cat box was cleaned. Rachel is super sweet and I would definitely recommend and use her again!”

“Alexandra and her family are amazing with our corgi Olive. She has been going for daycare and always comes back happy and tired after a long day of playing. We love all of the photo updates that Alexandra sends throughout the day. She is kind and a great communicator!”

“Love booking with Michael! So attentive to our dogs needs and gives us heads up if any other dogs are staying with him so we can plan accordingly. Highly recommend!”

“Ruo took great care of my doggy Tsuki. Very attentive to her needs and was able to adjust to our scheduling. Tsuki enjoyed plenty of fun outside time and love from her family. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome first day with Michelle! She was very welcoming, showed us her place and her very cute Corgi!! At the end we received a detailed Rover report with pictures and details of the day!”

“Zhenting and her family were delightful, communicative, responsive, and most importantly so sweet to me and my puppy. I reached out in a pinch and she responded quickly, asked important questions, and made me feel comfortable about leaving my most important possession with her. Great experience and I’d recommend to any pet owner!”

“Savanna did an amazing job with our puppy Georgie! Took her on multiple walks and to the creek to swim, and allowed her nap times. We’ll definitely have her watch Georgie again”

“Annie is great! She is professional and experienced. She took great care of our dog, and he immediately bonded with the pack. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your pet like their own (and send great photo updates), Annie is the one. We’ll definitely book with her again.”

“Bertie had a wonderful day with Lauren, her two boys, and their dog, Stella. Lauren sent pictures throughout the day showing Bertie having a great time as well as getting and lots of love and attention. He didn't want to get back into my car at the end of the day!”

“Mainly spoke to William’s girlfriend and did not get her name. Only saw the girlfriend as well for pick up and drop off. Received one video and one update. I think that is reasonable for daycare for the day. My dog seemed happy and energetic when I arrived so that is all that matter. A little mix up for drop off on river messaging but much smoother pick up.”

“Jenisa and her family were outstanding pet sitters for our senior Pug. We received regular updates, and it was clear Gus felt safe and like a part of their household. Jenisa is incredibly kind and thoughtful - I recommend her without reservation.”

“Ava was great with Oakley and extremely flexible with my ever changing schedule! Oakley seemed to really take to her right away! She sent me lots of pics :) and followed all instructions! Thank you Ava!”

“My dog really loves Kimberlin. On the very first day when I picked up my dog from daycare, he went to Kimberlin and he was saying goodbye. He doesn’t usually do that to anybody especially on the first day of daycare. Kimberlin made sure that my dog was well taken cared of and she gave me updates throughout the day. Kimberlin is very gentle and kind to my dog. I highly recommend her and I am grateful that I found her.”

About: Hey there! I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
About: Hi there! I'm Sriram, a true dog enthusiast living in sunny Fremont, California. For the past 8 years, I've been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies mastering their first tricks to calm senior pups who need gentle, reliable attention. I've raised and trained our own late family dog, teaching him fun tricks (high-five, roll over, spin—you name it!) and perfecting potty training routines that make life easier for everyone. I've also provided dedicated care for several senior dogs, including administering timely medications on strict schedules, monitoring their comfort, and ensuring they get soft, low-impact play and lots of cuddles. Dogs aren't just pets to me—they're family members, and I treat every pup who stays with me the same way I'd want my own cared for. This isn't about the money for me; it's pure passion. I get so much joy from watching a dog's tail wag when I walk through the door, seeing them learn something new, or simply relaxing together after a good adventure. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs long walks, or prefers a quieter day with puzzle toys and belly rubs, I'll tailor their stay to their needs and routine. Working from home full-time allows me to provide your pet with constant attention, including frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and on-schedule feedings. Your dog will also enjoy daily exercise at the beautiful park located right outside my front door. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I offer a fenced-in single-family home with constant backyard access, full camera monitoring, and 24/7 personal supervision.

“Mario was outstanding! His communication was excellent, and he went above and beyond to help me out with walking my dogs on a stressful day of moving. I highly recommend him.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with a dog and a duck, and have continuously lived in homes with cats and dogs through college and graduate school, so I’m very comfortable with their routines and behavior. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including feeding, walking, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also have three tortoises of my own, including one I’ve had for nearly 23 years, which has made me especially attentive to routines, environment, and long-term care. I am currently volunteering at the Kitten Nursery with the Peninsula Humane Society, where I help taking care of kittens too young for adoption. I have a very flexible schedule through freelance consulting work, which allows me to be available for pet care most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. The only consistent commitment I have is volunteering on Monday afternoons at the Peninsula Humane Society, but outside of that, I’m highly flexible and able to adjust to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box or cleanup routines, exercise, and any specific preferences your pet is used to. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with shy or more independent pets, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. I also keep the home clean and organized, and treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate updates regularly so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Rachel was extremely patience with my grumpy little old girl and I cannot thank her enough. She took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with her. She is communicative with me the whole time. I trust Rachel completely in taking care of my dog and can't recommend her enough. We are so glad that we found you Rachel!”

About: Hi! I am Matthew, a reliable sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I can always adjust to the energy of an animal to make sure they feel loved, safe, and understood. I have had a dog for almost my whole life and do great with my friends and family pets when I take care of them. I can always make sure to pay attention to your pet and give them whatever care they need whether it’s an hour walk or a nap after. I am a college student home for summer with some free time on my hands so I have the ability to be flexible. I keep a consistent routine with my studies, but can always make time for a loving pet. I care for pets by just trying to understand their needs. Having a dog for most my life has allowed me to know what is good for dogs and what is not, and I can always learn more to each dog specifically. Loving an animal is easy, so I will always care for them like one of my own.

“Maya is a reliable and caring dog lover. She took great care in getting to know my shy dog and reassured me that my pet would be in good hands. I’ve gone ahead and booked her for much of May! Great experience.”

“Margot is amazing, she is a great communicator and does great with my dogs. Always on time, really cares to make sure they get a great walk in and get their food, and let’s me know if anything is amiss! Really appreciate her :)”

“Bradley is wonderful, kind and considerate. He makes the most out of the walk time & is super personable with my dog, who can sometimes have trouble warming up to men (but was clearly & quickly comfortable with him). We will definitely be rebooking as needed! Thank you Bradley!”


“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with Fumble! She sent updates and photos throughout the walk, which I really appreciated. She’s the kind of walker who genuinely cares, not just someone going through the motions. We’ll definitely be booking with Rebecca again, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive walker for their dog!”

“Angelica was amazing! She was so accommodating, kind, and communicative, and responded quickly to everything. I felt completely at ease leaving Kaia with her, will definitely be booking again.”

“Highly recommend Heleen! She has been amazing with Ruby, reliable, friendly, and went the extra mile when we had to change up our plans on her. We love the updates and can see how much Heleen truly cares.”


“Peter was great! He was so good with Norman and he sent me lots of photos. When he came for our original meet and greet, he was right on time and so personable! I will definitely use him again!”

“Karina was courteous and was amazing with Jager. Her confidence with dogs shows how much experience she has with them. She also sends updates if Jager already pooped, peed and if they’re heading back. Jager came home tired and happy! Thanks Karina!”

“Leslie was wonderful! Very warm with me and with our dog Luna, her home was comfortable and clean, and I got a couple of picture updates through our trip. She was also flexible and communicative with some minor schedule adjustments that happened both on our end and on hers. Luna will definitely be back!”

“Natasha took good care of Kona and gave us a detailed update multiple times with photos for the night we had Kona over at hers. She understood his personality and was able to help him get familiar with his new environment quick and be a snuggle buddy that he is. Sage was also friendly and got along with him as we saw them going on walks together on the photos. Loved it for Kona that he got to experience Sage and his mama! Kona will for sure be back. Thanks Natasha!”

“This was our second time using Caddie and somehow it was even better than the first! She went above and beyond by creating a schedule for Omi (who didn’t really have one before), and it worked amazingly well—I’ll absolutely be sticking with it. Omi got her daily walks and I loved receiving so many pictures and videos. I had total peace of mind knowing Omi was happy, cared for, and in such great hands. Cannot recommend Caddie enough.”

“Shao is an exceptional dog sitter—reliable, attentive, and incredibly communicative. She consistently keeps me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which makes it so easy to relax knowing my dogs are happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with them and treats them with real thoughtfulness and care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. Thank you, Shao!”

From the regular updates we got, I can tell that she was giving so much care and attention to Willow, and that Willow loved hanging out with her as well! We really appreciate the peace of mind especially as this is the longest we’ve left our dog with a sitter on rover. We would definitely use her services again.”
