“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
“We had a great sitting for our dog with Dylan during an overnight stay. Dylan is very prompt with his responses, and kept us posted with updates during the stay . We felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with him. Will rebook Dylan again for sure.Thanks,Dylan !”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Shawna is great! She was flexible with my schedule and needs (and quirks) of my little dog, Aria. More importantly, Aria was loved on, cuddled and treated like the little princess she thinks she is. Thank you Shawna and family!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.
“Dylan was amazing! They happily showed us around their home and made us feel completely at ease to leave our furry loved ones in their care. They sent us frequent updates, pictures, and videos, of our dog, Blaze, and made sure their whole family gave him lots of exercise and love. Look no further if you're in the market of a good pet sitter and/or boarder!”
“Kosar took wonderful care of our cat, Mochi, while we were away. She treated him like her own and even helped with pickup. Mochi usually takes time to adjust to new places and often stops eating, but Kosar patiently calmed him and made sure he was comfortable and eating well. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. We highly recommend Kosar to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we would gladly use her services again.”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Mary was amazing with my cat! I had to change my drop-off time last minute and ended up picking my cat up a day early. I told her to keep the payment for the full stay, but she was sweet enough to refund me. Plus, her little son played with my cat the whole time, so my kitty got plenty of love. Super honest, flexible, and reliable—will definitely be using her again!”
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
“Once again, Clara was wonderful with our Jake. We had some concerns because of some health issues our pup was demonstrating before we left but Clara took it all in stride and assured us he would be in good hands. Fortunately, Jake did well in her care and thanks to her no major issues came up during his week stay. Thanks so much, Clara!”
“We have used Sameer frequently when we visit our family in No. CA and have never had an issue with his care. He is almost like family to us now that we've used his services so many times. We've had to extend our stay on several occasions in the past at the last minute and Sameer bailed us out by accommodating our revised schedule. We highly recommend Sameer and his wife: They are great people and their love for pets is undeniable!!”
“Cindy was incredibly kind and professional and always sent updates of my dog when he was in her care. Most of the time when you send your dogs to daycare it would cost extra for an update but Cindy does it just because she cares! She’s also incredibly responsive and very quick which I appreciate so much. I definitely would love to book again knowing my dog is safe in her care.”

“Ayla is professional and friendly and definitely loves animals. This was the first time we have ever used a sitting service and I am glad we chose Ayla. We will be using her again. Thank you, Ayla.”
“Nicole is incredible. Thank you so much for taking care of Logan. Despite a mixup, she found a way to adapt and overcome to complete the task! Above and beyond. Thank you. We would recommend Nicole highly.”
“Tasha was a great sitter and was super communicative about her drop-in visits. She came to do a meet and green in person and made sure she asked any questions that may help with the care of the cats. She also sent photos during the visits and provided a status update on how they were doing. Would book Tasha again for our cats.”
About: I have two years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and individual needs. My experience includes feeding, administering medication, and following detailed care instructions to ensure each dog receives proper care and attention. I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations and take pride in providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. I work full-time at a dog daycare, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks every day before and after work. My schedule can vary, so I’m happy to discuss specific times when booking to make sure I can give your pup the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs they may have. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, making sure everything is kept clean, secure, and as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
About: When I was younger I always thought being a single crazy cat lady was insane until I grew older and realized that is the dream😂 I absolutely adore cats they are definitely my favorite animal in the world. Whether your cat is friendly, shy, or spicy I know how to handle all. My friends call me the cat whisperer whenever we go out and I manage to pet the cat no one can pet. Even though I don’t have my own cat at this moment, I will always treat your cat like my own 😇
“Betsy stayed in our home for three weeks watching our two cats. The cats adored her and so did we! Great communication and updates. She took great vare of our home and we had peace of mind that our cats were in good hands during a severe heat wave. The cats received so much love and attention im definitely sure they missed her when her stay was over. Would def use Betsy again!”
“Peace of mind! I was very nervous to leave my cat at home alone for 4 days, but Desiree took care of everything. She followed all instructions to the T and took absolutely adorable photos of my cat. Desiree is responsive and friendly. 10/10 would recommend. I will be booking her again in the future.”
“My husband and I were thrilled with Lindsay and her obvious and genuine care for our cats Foxy and Maizy. It was also very clear that our cats felt comfortable with Lindsay.We were both a bit hesitant about having a cat sitter and Lindsay certainly erased any concern that we had. Lindsay sent loving comments and beautiful pictures of our dear Cats. She made certain that things were left in good order and clean. Thank you, Lindsay.”
About: As a proud cat owner of four, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Caring for multiple cats has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing changes in behavior that could indicate something isn't quite right. I'm comfortable caring for shy, independent, and social cats, and I know the importance of letting them warm up at their own pace. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat with someone else because I'd want the same level of care for my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.
“This was our first time having Daryl house sit and watch our cat Samantha. Daryl was extremely communicative and planning was a breeze. We got great photos of Samantha throughout his stay. We did a shorter stay to have Samantha get used to someone new as she has not been too good with new people lately. Overall things seemed to go very well and Samantha was even approaching Daryl by the end (big for us). He took his time to let her come to him but still kept up all her care! We will be using Daryl again this month for a longer stay!”

About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Whether your cat needs feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication, or simply a calm and reliable person to keep them company, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own cats. My goal is to make sure your cat stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: As an owner of three kitties myself I absolutely love taking care of them! Cats are special in ways that they do need a certain type of affection and care! Whether that is giving kitty treats or cleaning litter boxes, cats are always worth it at the end of the day because of how snuggle they are!
“This is our 3rd time booking Rebecca, and I think our kitties might launch a mutiny if we tried to book anyone else. Our cats are different than most because they used to be feral (living in our neighborhood) and we brought them inside. It took me over a year with one of them to earn the trust to pet him. They are not "people" cats and have only ever been pet by my family, the staff at the vet... and now, Rebecca! She has managed to win their trust in only a few short visits and they are even coming out to greet her now when she comes in. Amazing! And... Rebecca is even able to give insulin injections to that same super shy cat who didn't let me pet him for a year. Thank you, Rebecca, for all you do. We and our kitties can't say enough good things.”
“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.

About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”
“Highly recommend Dylan! He’s local, super reliable, and great with my puppy, Olivia. He has two small dogs that Olivia absolutely loved playing with, which made her experience even better. It’s great to find a sitter where your pet gets both personal attention and social time.”
About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.
“Jing was a lifesaver, available to watch our three year old English Cocker while we visited our grandchildren. She was waiting for us when we pulled up to her home and seamlessly watched him til we returned about 3 hours later. She sent fun pictures while taking care of him and Murphy seemed very happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Jing and will book her again!”

“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
“Penny had a wonderful time at Clara's house with her adorable dog Diego! Clara is kind, caring, and very attentive. She kept us updated with photos/messages and took great care of Penny. We really appreciated how comfortable and loved she made her feel. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and am dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care that makes every pet feel like family. My experience covers dogs of all breeds and life stages, from high-energy puppies needing socialization to calm seniors requiring a gentler care. I pride myself on being flexible and reliable, ensuring that whether it’s a quick walk or an extended overnight stay, your pet receives the undivided attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, gated community that is perfect for peaceful, low-traffic walks. To keep you connected while you're away, I utilize an indoor dog camera, allowing for regular check-ins and updates on how your furry friend is settling in. My home is designed to be a sanctuary where pets have plenty of room to roam and explore the house freely, ensuring they never feel confined. The property is a true pet paradise, featuring a private dog park, a secure dog run, and a relaxing private patio for soaking up the sun. I am also highly experienced in senior care and managing specific medical needs. Whether it is administering oral or topical medications or maintaining a strict preventative care routine, I handle every health requirement with the precision and care of a seasoned owner. I am very comfortable with the specific grooming and health needs of breeds like miniature schnauzers and other mixes. I believe in tailoring my approach to every animal's unique temperament. If your pup is a velcro dog who craves constant cuddles, I am happy to provide all the affection they need. if they prefer their alone time and a quiet corner to nap, I respect their boundaries completely. For an added touch of luxury, I offer home bathing and brushing services so your pet can return home feeling fresh and pampered. Beyond dog care, I provide gentle companionship, quiet playtime, and specialized handling for cats. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where every pet—regardless of species or age—feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with a premium home-away-from-home experience! I am currently a part time student and I am available in the early mornings and night time for walks, play, visits, or just for company! I am flexible on how you want your furry companion to be cared for, whether it is a walk on your neighborhood or a play in a dog park. Or it could be a quiet time at home!
About: I have had pets since I was a child, including cats and dogs. My family and I have had our current cat and prior cats from kittens, and our Golden Retriever Arnold since he was a puppy. I have the option of working at home full-time, and spending time cuddling your fur baby or taking him or her for walks and/or runs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly golden to keep your dog entertained and show him/her the ropes. I am happy to have a lap dog, or a more active dog who likes to fetch, swim, walk, or run.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.
“Thank u for accommodating in a short notice . Thank u for all the updates and happy to see that Astro came back happy and will definitely book again when we visit Pleasanton again”
“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”

About: Dogs truly mean everything to me. They bring me so much happiness and comfort, and being around them just feels right. I’ve been a dog mom for 7 years to my own very large furbaby (over 100 pounds!), and he is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him more than anything, and caring for him has taught me patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. While I don’t have a lot of experience caring for other dogs yet, I’m excited to start! I’m attentive, friendly, and eager to learn. I’ll treat your pup with the same care and love I give my own. I’m a student with a part-time job, but I have plenty of availability & flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and quality time throughout the day. I’ll care for pets in my clients’ homes by sticking to their usual routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while always respecting your instructions and your home. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident while you’re away.

About: As the owner of four cats, I have daily hands-on experience providing consistent, attentive care to animals. Caring for multiple pets has taught me to be patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal's unique needs and personality. While my personal experience has been with cats, I'm comfortable caring for dogs by following their established routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'll treat your dog with the same care and dedication I give my own pets! I'm currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to accommodate your pet's routine, whether that's morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits. I believe consistency is important, so I'll always communicate clearly and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. Your pet's comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I'm entering their space, I believe it's important to let each pet take the lead. I take the time to build trust at their own pace and never force interactions or affection. Every pet has a unique personality, and I respect their individual needs and boundaries. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away by maintaining the consistency they're used to. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. That's why I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own pets.
“We just got through the first week with Sindhuri and I'm really glad to have found her. She walks two of my dogs. One is 110 pounds and the other is 60 pounds. They are well behave with her which is what we needed as they are not so well behave when we walk them ourselves. This gives the dogs opportunity to work on their walking and get the need3d exercise they need. We will continue to use her services weekly. 4x a week for 30 minutes and the dogs come back happy and ready to nap!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, and have experience with small dogs, medium sized dogs, and cats. I also have experience with senior dogs, and pets with varying levels of energy and diverse temperaments. I am a student with availability on weekdays in the evenings and on the weekends. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with care! I care for pets by following best practices in pet care and communicating with pet owners throughout my visits. I pay special attention to directions given by the owners to ensure that pets are comfortable and happy.
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 30 years, and caring for pups is just part of who I am. My first dog was with me for 18 amazing years, and my second for 14. They were truly family! I love taking care of dogs all ages, but have a soft spot for senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with the extra care they need, like giving meds, keeping an eye on their health, and making sure they feel safe and loved. If your dog stays with our family, they’ll get all the cuddles, patience, and attention they deserve….just like we’d give our own. We love dogs and miss having our own, so we welcome all the pup cuddles! I am home during the day and can be available weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm for drop-in visits or taking your dog for a walk. In our home, your fur baby will be taken care of like family. We have a 9 and 7 year old who will help ensure they receive lots of love while you’re away. We have a fenced yard they can play in, as well as a great neighborhood we can go for walks in. You let us know what works best for your dog and we will make sure to stick to it, to help them feel as comfortable as possible and keep their routine. Our goal is to make the stay stress free for the dog and for you, as owners. For Drop-in visits, I will be sure to follow the routine you have shared for feeding, walks, and playtime to provide consistency and comfort. While with your dog, I will be sure to track feeding times, bathroom breaks, any behavioral observations, and share photos to give you peace of mind.
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.
About: I am a college graduate, living at home while I look for a full-time job. I have grown up with pets my entire life. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, German Shepherd, Tuxedo cats, and Tabby cats. I have pet sat for over 8 years with animals of all sizes and ages, and would love to help out! I am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a lot of free time to care for your pets. I can stay overnight or check in throughout the day, depending on their needs. I am very diligent when caring for animals. I like to always have my eye on them and have an understanding of what they need, whether that is rest, love, or food.
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
“Aaron is extremely patient and flexible with my fear aggressive and reactive dog. He provides prompt updates and sends great pics. My dog has really gotten comfortable with him. I'm grateful for his commitment to my dog and willingness to take on a challenge. I recommend him for weekly walks.”
“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”
About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.
About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
“Shawna is great! She was flexible with my schedule and needs (and quirks) of my little dog, Aria. More importantly, Aria was loved on, cuddled and treated like the little princess she thinks she is. Thank you Shawna and family!”
“Dylan was amazing! They happily showed us around their home and made us feel completely at ease to leave our furry loved ones in their care. They sent us frequent updates, pictures, and videos, of our dog, Blaze, and made sure their whole family gave him lots of exercise and love. Look no further if you're in the market of a good pet sitter and/or boarder!”
“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
“We have used Sameer frequently when we visit our family in No. CA and have never had an issue with his care. He is almost like family to us now that we've used his services so many times. We've had to extend our stay on several occasions in the past at the last minute and Sameer bailed us out by accommodating our revised schedule. We highly recommend Sameer and his wife: They are great people and their love for pets is undeniable!!”
“Cindy was incredibly kind and professional and always sent updates of my dog when he was in her care. Most of the time when you send your dogs to daycare it would cost extra for an update but Cindy does it just because she cares! She’s also incredibly responsive and very quick which I appreciate so much. I definitely would love to book again knowing my dog is safe in her care.”
About: As a dedicated dog parent myself, my unique strengths include senior dog care, dog walking and providing a calm home environment along with custom routines. Pet care is already a core part of my daily rhythm. As a dog parent myself, I start and end most days with walks, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my schedule rather than competing with it. Since I'm currently a homemaker, I have flexible, consistent availability throughout the week — including mornings, midday, and afternoons — which means I can offer reliable, on-time walks rather than squeezing them in around a 9-to-2. I'm looking to build dog walking into a regular part of my week: it keeps me active, gets me outdoors, and lets me connect with neighbors and other pet parents in the community. Because I understand the responsibility of caring for a dog firsthand — from reading their energy level to knowing when they need a slower pace or extra water breaks — I bring the same attentiveness to dogs in my care that I'd want for my own. For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and attentiveness. When I arrive at a client's home, I take time to greet the dog calmly and let them warm up to me before heading out, especially on a first visit. During the walk, I keep dogs on a secure leash, follow the pace and route that suits their energy level and age, and stay alert to their body language, other animals, traffic, and weather conditions. I always bring water for longer walks, clean up after the dog every time, and make sure collars, harnesses, and gates are securely fastened before and after each visit. Once the walk is done, I make sure the dog has fresh water available, lock up the home securely, and send the owner a quick update — including photos when I can — so they know their pet is happy and cared for. Because I'm a dog owner myself, I treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine: with patience, close attention, and respect for their individual personality and needs.
“Fiona and her family took excellent care of Uno when he stayed with them.. they sent plenty of pictures and videos which was very helpful and kept us at ease.. would definitely board him with them again! Thank you!”
“Svetlana clearly loves cats and has a spacious apartment that’s great for them to explore. While it could help if they have a few more designated hiding spots, she was thoughtful in helping my cat settle in by finding a cozy spot in her closet, which my cat seems to really enjoy. She was great about sending videos in the first few days, I’d love to see more regular updates throughout the stay, which could make the experience even better. I also really appreciated how she worked with me to stay within my budget. Overall, I’m happy with her care and will definitely use her services again!”
“We left our two pugs with Paul for a long weekend trip, four days. Paul is absolutely an "dog person" and has experience with dogs of many breeds, including pugs! He had great communication before and during the boarding engagement. Our pugs were returned happy and healthy and it was apparent that Paul took very good care of them. I would recommend Paul for anyone who has boarding needs.”
“Kalpita and her family took wonderful care of our dog! She was able to help out with a last minute request. Our dog had a blast and we got lots of pictures and updates. I’d highly recommend her for dog care!”
“Another 5 star stay for our Judah. We couldn't be happier with the depth of care provided. It is so wonderful to be able to relax while away from our pup knowing he's having an absolute blast. We loved seeing all the videos and photos and continue to greatly appreciate Carolyn creating a "home away from home" for our puppy.”
“This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!”
“I was grateful for Jennifer for taking Toby on a short notice. Our pup enjoyed the slumber party with her daughters. Beautiful home with a big backyard where he can roam around safely. He enjoyed the walk with their dog, Arnold. He felt right at home with her family as I see on her photos she sent me. I could tell Toby felt good and calm as we left her house. I’m glad I found her. I’ll definitely use her again. I appreciate you Rover to have found Jennifer and her wonderful family! ❤️”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
“Yu-Shu was amazing! She sent updates and photos to keep us posted during the overnight stay! They even carried in the dog bed and bag with food, treats and toys and walked it out to my car when I picked him up. Archie was in very good hands and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to board or sit their pet.”
