“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“We could not be happier with the care Ivana provided for our golden doodle, Gigi, during our week away. From the moment we connected, Ivana was incredibly responsive and caring which gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated every day with photos and videos, and it was clear that Gigi was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. Ivana treated Gigi like her own, and we truly appreciated the care and thoughtfulness she showed throughout the entire stay. Ivana provided 10/10 care, and we would absolutely trust her with Gigi again. So happy we have found her. Thank you, Ivana! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Our dog Buddy had a great time with Mario. We can tell because Buddy came back really calm and relaxed. Mario kept us well informed on Buddy through the whole stay with pictures and info. We'll definitely book Mario again.”
“Ivan was so good to Toko and Arya while I was gone! They're both small dogs who are reserved around new people and new dogs. Toko came to him with a broken foot and a bunch of built up anxiety since he couldn't exercise, while Arya has way too much energy. He was very careful to make sure Toko stayed comfortable and couldn't injure himself, but also took Arya on several long adventures. Ivan sent me many great photos and daily updates of the pups while I was on vacation, which greatly reduced my own anxiety over them staying over! I could tell they had a great time, and I won't hesitate to book Ivan again!”
“James did an excellent job with a long-weekend care of my dog. My rescue senior canine has serious human trust and personal space issues. I discussed these in advance with James, and he was willing to accommodate my pup’s needs. The stay went very well, and James communicated with me (pictures) every day. It was clear James cared very much about my pup and made the stay as pleasant and calm as possible for him. I recommend James for pet care and I will use him again when I travel and need a safe place for my canine.”
“Kitty has become Oki's new friend and family. She was excited to see us when we picked her up after 2 weeks we were away but I could tell that she really was sad to leave Kitty. Oki has returned to Kitty's since and we are so happy to have found such a loving, caring, trustworthy sitter for our baby. Thank you Kitty!”
“Kelly and her mom were amazing! They took such great care of our little guy during our wedding weekend. This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Kelly. She sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend, and we could tell our dog, Tobi, felt right at home. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we celebrated. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again in the future.”
“Annie was wonderful with Boba! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos during his stay, which we really appreciated. Boba looked so happy and had a great time playing with the other pups. We could tell he was very well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Jenisa took excellent care of my Roxy and I was stress free the whole time I was gone. Roxy learned better manners and is more settled and ladylike since I have been gone. Thank you Jenisa!”
“I'm so blessed that Stephen takes good care of my dog and I have no worry leaving him with him. My dog gets so excited as we drive closer to his house as it is his own.”
“Jennifer is a sweet cat caretaker. She had multiple rooms for my cat to get comfortable in, since it took my cat a little while to come out of her shell. I loved seeing the videos of Jennifer playing with my cat.”
“Evie watched our dog Willow for a little over a week while we were on vacation. 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.”
“We were incredibly lucky to find Michael. Mateo is a high-energy, reactive Aussie Labradoodle puppy, and Michael was the perfect match. Mateo stayed with him for six days and received daily walks/runs, structure, and amazing care. Michael’s communication was outstanding — daily updates, photos, and even activity stats. I honestly wondered who was on vacation, me or Mateo! Michael is professional, reliable, and truly knowledgeable. He noticed a possible ear infection, shared helpful advice, and even offered to take Mateo to our vet. When I mentioned Mateo had missed grooming, Michael offered to take him to his groomer as well. Even when Mateo had a classic puppy moment and chewed up a pair of their expensive shoes, Michael and his wife were nothing but gracious and kind. Michael genuinely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely use him again and are already recommending him to other dog owners.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Pingu, my 13-year-old toy poodle. Pingu lives with my parents, so he isn’t currently in my home—but he’s still a very special part of my life. Caring for dogs brings me so much joy, and I’d love the opportunity to welcome your pup into my home! To make sure every dog receives the individual care, attention, and affection they deserve, I care for no more than two dogs at a time. I’m happy to make an exception for dogs from the same household. For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be up to date on their rabies vaccination and flea prevention. I take dogs outside at least three times a day: - Morning - Late afternoon - Before bedtime I’ll do my best to make your pup feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to tell me more about your dog and their routine. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work from home and plan to continue doing so for the foreseeable future, which means I’ll be home most of the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention, companionship, and care. Dogs in my care will have opportunities to relax, play, and enjoy supervised time in the yard throughout the day. I also make sure they receive regular outdoor breaks and follow their usual routines as closely as possible. I live in a single-family home with a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor play. I’m home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. I always keep dogs on leash when we leave the house and will follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, and routines. While my neighborhood is dog-friendly, any introductions to other dogs will be handled carefully and only if your pup is comfortable and it’s appropriate for their temperament and needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, calm, and welcoming home away from home for every dog in my care!
“Ana was amazing! She gave us the best daily updates with pictures and info on the highlights of their day. She had lots of pictures of our dog on walks with her, and it seemed like our dog even got to the point of playing with her cat by the end! Ana was a kind and attentive dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.”
“We've boarded our dog, Lucky, with Jackson twice. Each time, Jackson sent us updates every day and he followed all the instructions we have for Lucky carefully. Lucky always had a blast every time he stayed with Jackson. Jackson took him to the dog park almost every day. It's a bonus that Lucky likes to hang out with Rupert and cuddle with him. We feel at ease to know that Lucky will have a good time.”
“Ollie had the most incredible time with Leeeun and her family. She sent many lovely photos and updates, and helped us buy additional treats when we ran out. They took Ollie on so many fun adventures throughout the weekend. She goes above and beyond, and we highly recommend her!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Irina! She came by once a day to care for our cat, Simba, while we were away, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. She sent us pictures and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was always so warm and loving with Simba. Irina is incredibly sweet, trustworthy, and reliable. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals and how well she understands them. We felt completely comfortable knowing Simba was in her care. We would absolutely recommend Irina to anyone looking for someone kind and dependable to care for their pets, and we would happily book with her again! ❤️”
“Claudia is so kind and treated our cat very well when we were out of town! We got daily status reports and adorable pictures. It was wonderful being able to travel with peace of mind that our cat was in good hands!”
“Rachel is the absolute pro, super sweet, and highly diligent in her communication and visits. Our cat Scott loved her at first sight. She kept him entertained and well fed, even though he needed special attention with his medicine. The litter box area was clean. For sure we'd be booking the drop-in visits with Rachel next time we travel.”
“Aik went above and beyond when I had a time sensitive package unexpectedly delivered while I was out of town. Aik went back to the house 2 extra times to be sure it was put inside without me even asking... I was SO appreciative as it allowed us to enjoy our time away without stressing or having to track down someone else to put it in!”
“Ashlyn was awesome. Dropped in to feed him twice a day. Left treats in his puzzle feeders during the day and even coaxed a shy cat into lots of playtime with his teaser toys. I felt super comfortable that Ashlyn would take good care of him and handle any crisis. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had experience caring for cats since I was younger, having owned and cared for my own growing up. Through that, I’ve learned to understand their behavior, respect their boundaries, and recognize that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether they’re playful, independent, or a little shy at first, I know how to adjust my approach to make them feel safe and comfortable.
“Su and her husband were wonderful, I felt completely confident leaving my fur babies in their hands. And my apartment was cleaner when I returned from my trip than when I left which was a great added bonus!! I would hire them in a heartbeat again!!!!”
“Amie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. She is reliable and highly responsive. My cats felt at ease with her. I will definitely book her again whenever we need cat care!”
“Lizbeth did a great job checking in on our cat, and was super communicative. She followed all instructions and left the place clean. Would book her again in the future!”
About: I live with cats every day as part of a full multi-pet household, so I'm well-practiced in reading subtle cues — a cat that's stressed versus one that's just aloof, changes in appetite, or shifts in litter box habits that might signal something's off. I'm meticulous about litter box maintenance, scooping daily (or more) and keeping boxes fresh, since that's often the first thing that affects a cat's comfort and health. I'm comfortable with cats of all temperaments, from playful and high-energy to shy and reserved, and I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medication needs, and the little quirks that make each cat feel at home. I'm also experienced administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed.
“Mario took great care of our dogs- when we were on vacation. We appreciate the communication and photos. We will definitely ask him to help out in the future.”
“Olivia was amazing with my two kitties. She is very communicative and patient with all my questions. She came by for a meet and greet and dropped off my key afterwords in a timely manner. She sent me many photos for each check in, and left a very detailed description for her updates. I highly recommend Olivia she’s very personable and loves animals. Thank you Olivia!”
“My four month old kitten seems to have done very well under Michelle’s care and my house was tidy and not smellly so I knew that the kitty litter was cleaned regularly. She sent me photos every day.”
About: Welcome and hello! I’m Melissa and I offer a stop shop including dog grooming 7 days a week, dog boarding and doggy daycare. I also board rabbits and guinea pigs. Just a 10 minute drive from the San Francisco airport, you can drop off and pick up on your way to the airport. I have over 4,000 square feet of secured, fenced in yard for your dog to play in as well as a shaded patio area and a sunroom that they can lounge in. Your dog will have free access to the back yard as well as give them lots of cuddle time indoors. We are a crate-free home but if you need your pup “crated” we can put him in a gated hallway with their bed, food and water next to my bedroom. The dogs sleep in the front room on dog beds, in open dog houses or on my bed. I typically have about 5 dogs on my bed at one time. #heaven 😊 I grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals, so I am a true animal and dog lover. Over the last 7 years, I have been a dog walker, dog sitter, and a foster home for dogs. I have over 475 5-star reviews on Wag!, and I even have another business named Muttley’s Playhouse which allows me to work from home. I want you to feel confident and safe leaving your dog in my care. I can accommodate all of your needs, including short term stays, extended stays, holidays and doggy daycare, as well as last minute. My current capacity is 9 dogs for daycare and four dogs for overnights. During the holidays, I can accept two more dogs. I will also send plenty of pictures and video updates. I prefer a casual meet and greet prior to booking to make sure that this experience will be a fit for your dog. Daycare drop off starts at 7am until 7pm. Boarding is 24 hrs from drop off. Thanks for reading and I hope your fur baby will be visiting me soon! Daily daycare schedule. Breakfast 6:30-7am. Playtime from 7-7pm. Nap 12-1pm. Dinner 6-7pm. Boarding schedule same as daycare but dogs go to sleep around 8:30pm. :) Caring for pets is such a rewarding experience. I focus on their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they have a structured routine and plenty of social interaction. I make sure they know they're part of the family. ♥️
About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.

“Anna and Conrad took great care of Teddy for the day and was able to accommodate our last minute request for booking and changes. Our guy is a little shy around other dogs so they were extra patient and caring to ensure he was okay and even allowed us to meet before our daycare so the dogs can get exposure. We also have a special diet and due to a recent illness and they were able to continue with our feeding instructions (even letting us know how much he consumed in the meal). I would be more than happy to drop off our dog for another session with them. Thank you Anna, Conrad, Mochi, and Olive!”
“Hobbes has attended daycare with Melissa numerous times. He always comes back happy and tired. It's easy to communicate with Melissa, and she always has Hobbes's wellbeing and best interests at heart. We will continue to use her services!”
“Andy took such good care of Korra. Korra had fun playing with Milo, going for walk and even got pan fried beef for lunch! Now that's more than most of us get for our lunch 😀. Andy also shared lots of pictures and videos during the day. We will definitely book Andy for future daycare and boarding needs.”
About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.
“Highly recommend! Michael, his wife, and their pup Kirby are warm and welcoming. Little Bear struggles with separation anxiety and fortunately, he adjusted quickly to their home. Likely because of the good vibes, chill environment, sweet pet parents and a level of understanding and flexibility that is much appreciated. Huge yard and conveniently located. Great sitter!!”
“Kitty was phenomenal! She was recommenced by friends. My dog came back happy and tired! Also I was late to pick up, but Kitty was gracious. I would definitely go back to her!!”
About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.
“Katie and Jason welcomed our sweet pittie Archie for daycare so we could give Archie the chance to get to know them some before they watch him overnight later this month. Archie came home relaxed and happy! We also received so many beautiful pictures and a video showing his time with Jason and Katie, which calmed this nervous mom’s anxiety about leaving Archie with anyone else. We’re so happy and relieved we found Katie and Jason, they are legitimate dog people! ♥️”
“Marcel was well taken care of with Ivana! If you want a tired puppy this is definitely the place. Ivana was consistent with keeping me posted on how Marcel was doing throughout the day. Very accommodating with time frame as well! Definitely leaving a tip for that helped me out so much! Has spent repeated days with her and everytime was exhausted! Her dog was friendly with our puppy as well, helped with socializing him!”
“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”
About: I don’t have problem taking caredogs. My friends and family used to relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time and it’s manageable, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups I’m available boarding especially weekdays 7am onwards. My place is a free space for one dog at time especially to trained dog I dont do much restriction so dog can move and play around, I live close to lake in foster city and its so easy access to walk the dog any time in a day.
“I am very happy with how things went with James. I wanted to meet him before I made the arrangements and he was totally fine with that. He has a really calm, easy going demeanor which is great for my dog - she’s a super hyper puppy. He was really flexible with me and able to accommodate my changing schedule, and I just felt that my dog was safe and happy with him. Thumbs up!”
“Zhenting took great care of Jojo. I can tell Jojo had a great time because he couldn’t wait and just ran to the door directly when we dropped him off on the second day. Zhengting also shared lots of update which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Lisa was fabulous! My first time using her and she was great! Lisa took Dexter out for multiple walks and sent so many pictures to keep me informed. Most of all Dexter was so happy. I will be using Lisa in the future.”
“Kelly was great with our 2 little dogs. We were in town attending a family function and we were able to book with her from 4:30pm to 10:45pm on a Sunday. She provided us with picture updates and was really communicative which made us, worried dog parents, feel better. We highly recommend her and will use her services again next time we’re in this area.”
“Woody definitely enjoyed his day care with Michelle and played with his friend non-stop. He passed out once he got home :D Michelle is very flexible with pick up and drop off time and shared the rover report card at the end of day with how he did during the day and photos of him having fun. We love it!”
“I’m very happy to come across Doug. He took great care of Oliver. Dough pays attention and ask questions about Oli, which shows that he cares and have knowledge about dogs. I’m very comfortable leaving Oli with him.”
“Leila and her daughters took the best care of my baby! She had a great time playing with the other dogs. Hazel is only able to have a special food and Leila and the girls made sure she didn't get any one else's food and had fresh clean water for her when she arrived. She also gets cold easily and they watched her closely and covered her with her blanket. They also provided extra supervision in the backyard when she was observed trying to eat a piece of bark. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Leila and her daughters. Also Leila is accommodating with schedule changes and super quick to respond to messages. We love her!”

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and an 11-month-old mini poodle mix, Charlie Sheen. We go on walks 2–3 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time! I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have access to daily cleaned and fresh bowls of water. My car can take me anywhere to care for your pup!
“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.

Your pet's safety and well-being are my absolute top priority. I provide a secure, hazard-free environment, ensuring total peace of mind while you are away.
About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.
“Melissa was so amazing with Olive. Our puppies hit it off. Olive made a new best friend! I'm was so happy to see how happy my baby was with Melissa. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“Andy was an awesome dog walker. He was prompt and made sure my dog got her full hour. You can tell he is a dog person who cares and understands dogs. Iggy loved walking with Andy and Milo.”
About: I have raised five or six cats at home when I was twelve years old . I have experience in raising kittens. I like kittens and puppies very much. I am very kind and caring. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Monday to Friday afternoon 12:00pm to 6pm I will take good care of your pets at your home or take them out for walks. I will play with them and clean up after them.
“Olivia is dependable, trustworthy, and loving. She has been helping us since we rescued Chikki as a puppy. She has done drop in and walks for us. She always sends us great photos and Chikki loves her company.”
About: Puppies are my specialty. I have raised over 20 puppies for multiple service dog organizations as well as fostering for a few different rescues. With my experience as a veterinary technician I am very familiar with the care of older pets and those with special needs. I also have almost 20 years of experience walking dogs for other people. I currently work full time but mostly swings shifts 3pm -11pm, so I am available before 3pm while most people are at work. I am also available for late night visits if needed. I treat every client's pet as I would my own. Creating a positive relationship with the animals I work with is most important to me.

Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since high school. I currently have a sweet kitty named Luna, who is very loved and very much a part of my family. I also had a pug named Khloe, who sadly passed away earlier this year. She was truly my baby, and I loved her like she was my own child. I miss her everyday, and losing her left a big space in my heart. Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy and happiness, and I feel lucky whenever I get the opportunity to love and care for someone else's furry family member! I currently have a lot of free time and flexibility, so I'm able to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them whenever you need a helping hand! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends as well. I'm happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I'm available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. Having a flexible schedule means to can give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while you're away. I vow to always be respectful of your home and will follow your instructions and your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I have reliable transportation and my own car, so I'm able to easily travel to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will treat your home and your fur babies with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I will also always keep you in the loop while I'm caring for your pet and will send you regular updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe and well cared for.
“Yvette tried hard to take my dog who wasn’t moving at first because of the unfamiliar situation and managed to get him pee and poop!!! I had a bad cold and she was so helpful.”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
About: I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University. I stopped working recently, so I have plenty of time to devote and dedicate to pet sitting. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights, depending on what you and your pet’s schedule requires. Please note I do not offer boarding or pet care services in my own home. I have 2 cats who need to be the only animals in the house.
“Allison has been such an amazing "friend" to our dog, Kona. We can tell how much Kona is loved and cared for while we are away at work and school. We get regular updates on how Kona is doing, including pictures! Would definitely recommend Allison for your dog's needs!”
About: Pets are humanizing. They remind us of our obligation and responsibility to preserve and care for all life - James Cromwell As a child I spent summers on a farm and have always been connected to nature & animals. My first pet was a chicken at 7yrs old and had cats my whole life, even throughout college! My first dog was a female Shelted Sheepdogs (sheltie) then we got her a brother a year later. What fun sweet memories and joy having them growing up. Humans can learn a lot from our pets, their unconditional love & playfulness. Caring for animals is a privilege. Similar to raising children (I have two teens) and requires lots of awareness, love, patience, attention to detail, and kindness. Safety is always priority number one I work an office job from 8a-5p during the week and am available for pet care after hours, early mornings, and on the weekends. If a client is near my office or home I’m able to visit sooner. I live in a nice neighborhood near a great park and walking trails. My home is safe, organized, clean with fenced yard and two pets (dog & cat) to keep your fur baby company. If your pet is crate-trained I can support that too.

“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“Jennifer is a sweet cat caretaker. She had multiple rooms for my cat to get comfortable in, since it took my cat a little while to come out of her shell. I loved seeing the videos of Jennifer playing with my cat.”
“Evie watched our dog Willow for a little over a week while we were on vacation. 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.”
“Ollie had the most incredible time with Leeeun and her family. She sent many lovely photos and updates, and helped us buy additional treats when we ran out. They took Ollie on so many fun adventures throughout the weekend. She goes above and beyond, and we highly recommend her!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Tiffany was great! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Our dog, Tomo, looked happy throughout his stay with her and she spent quality time with him.”
“Andy took good care of Coco over the weekend! He took him on long scenic walks and made sure he was comfortable in his home. His dogs Milo and Bodie were great emotional support for Coco who struggles with separation anxiety.”
“Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
About: My priority is your dog's comfort. I will work to gain their trust and become best friends! I also have experience giving medication and brushing teeth. I am currently a substitute teacher so most days of the week and weekend I am home. My partner and I are homebodies so you can often find us snuggling with our dog Bambi. Bambi and I love to go to the dog park and hiking. Whether your dog is young or old, playful or independent, they will fit in here! I have one friendly dog Bambi that enjoys making new dog friends! Bambi is very small, 8 lbs, but he does well with dogs of all size. We usually go to the dog park several times a week so he can socialize.
About: I have an extremely flexible schedule (available during “work hours”/ weekdays). I grew up with small dogs and currently have a Doberman now. So I have experience caring for both large and small breeds. Since my Doberman is a working breed, we’ve attended many training classes over the last 3 years. My doberman is extremely friendly and he gets along with all other dogs. He can be energetic outside but also super chill and calm at home. When you book any services with me, you can expect fast communication and lots of updates with pictures and videos! I can’t wait to meet your furbabies! Majority of the time I’ll be doing work on my laptop remotely on a flexible schedule. I sill have plenty of time to bring your pups on walks. I wfh all weekdays so I will be able yo watch your dog and let them out every 2-4 hours. My bf also wfh so there will be a second pair of eyes to ensure the pups safety!
“Anna was wonderful with my dog! She sent pictures and videos and gave me daily updates on how she was doing. I felt totally at ease while I was away. Would absolutely book again.”
“Joy was awesome with my dog (Banana). She followed all provided instructions and lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. She was extra flexible with my schedule. I will definitely reach out to Joy when we need a sitter next!”
“I sound like a broken record but it’s true, Allison is a godsend! She always takes care of my dog like her own. She agreed to watch my dog Stewie even after I told her of his restrictions due to a recent injury and I know he was in good hands. Thanks, Allison!❤️”
“Zicheng took great care of my dog while we were out of town. He sent lots of photos and video updates. My dog is normally very nervous around new people, but had a great time, especially playing with Kennedy!”
“Andy and his family took really good care of our dog. He sent us photos throughout the stay and even took our dog to relax outside at a coffee shop. I highly recommend Andy as a sitter.”
“Kristine is an excellent communicator, with great photo updates. She had a quarantine area for dogs to meet, and several friendly dogs to play with. Spacious back yard! Soka had great care.”
“We love Akosua! This was our first time leaving our old pittie-boxer mix, Ethel, with Akosua after another Rover flaked on us a week before we needed pet care. Akosua was willing to quickly schedule a meet-and-greet with us and take Ethel on short notice, and we can't say enough how great she was! Akosua is so calm and sweet (perfect for our baby!), and is clearly very knowledgeable about and comfortable with caring for all types of dogs. She asked so many great questions that nobody has ever asked before, was great with communication and providing updates with photos, and even helped Ethel practice her training in our absence. Ethel was very calm and relaxed when she came home, which has never happened with a sitter before -- she's previously been wound-up and anxious for a few hours after getting home. We will definitely be reaching out again to Akosua in the future!”
