“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!”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”

“My puppy is now 10 months old now and Wei is the only sitter I use outside of family. I could tell my puppy is well taken care of and happy. I’d trust and wholeheartedly recommend Wei.”
“Sofia is amazing! Our 4yr old Shilo stayed over for 4 days and all the pictures showed me how much fun he was having. I really appreciate how Sofia was able to accommodate Bruce’s disability (his paw was cut really bad by glass and no longer can run like normal). Will definitely be booking with Sofia soon!”
“Marie and her family were so amazing and took such good care of our little guy! We also ran into some travel delays and they were so accommodating which we could not be more grateful for. Definitely recommend!”
“Cynthia and Chi were able to accommodate our last minute request for the long weekend and our pup had a great time as she always does. Thank you both for always taking such great care of Rizzy!”
“This was now our third visit and as with the two previous visits, our dog Chica was a happy camper! From all the great photos and updates it was evident that she really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. We had absolutely no worries while away for the Thanksgiving holidays. When we picked her up, she was her usual loving happy self! Thank you Allison and Gordon!”
“Kona had a great time boarding with Kazu and Yuko! He was well taken care of and he had so much fun playing with new friends who were also boarding with them. We were referred to Kazu and Yuko by a friend and couldn’t have been happier with the experience.”
“Vanda was great! Frankie warmed to her so fast and loved spending time with her. She communicated with multiple photos every day and I could always see his tail up and wagging knowing he’s having a great time. Can’t wait for her to watch him again.”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Celeste is amazing with our dog Jack! He feels right at home there and she is always updating us with pictures and stories throughout the day. He's loves going over to stay with Celeste!”
“Yvonne and her partner took such good care of Benny! He barely wanted to leave. lol She provided frequent updates and made sure he got plenty of exercise. Thanks for everything <3”
“Alvin and his partner took good care of Sunlight. Sunlight had a week long stay that was more of an extended play-date with his new buddy Sterling. Also, plenty of attention and affection. We look forward to next time!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”

“She was very thorough and took good care of our cats!! Both of our cats are a handful but she managed to look after them with ease.

We would definitely book with her again!”

About: I had a wonderful German Shepherd for 12 good yrs and 5 beautiful cats! I have also taken care of our neighborhood cats and dogs when families go on vacation. I’ve done dog walking and drop-ins for families in the Peninsula, Livermore, and East Bay. I also have experience with elderly dogs and blind dogs. I am available most of the week unless I am booked by other clients. Please feel free to message me even if there isn’t availability shown on the schedule. I have a fenced back yard where your babies can roam around and play! I also have lots of dog toys for indoor activities !
About: My childhood cat, Momo, has been my best friend for 15 years. He is a senior with a medical condition, so I understand the importance of ensuring a cat’s safety, comfort, and stress levels while you are away. I have experience in administering medication/vitamins and preparing special food for your cat.
“Sandra was wonderful! She was extremely communicative, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very patient and gentle with our three very shy cats. We really appreciated how carefully she followed all of our instructions—it was clear she was attentive and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Jaron’s great! He’s now our go to person to check-in on our cat while we are away. Very easy to coordinate with, and our cat clearly enjoys getting to play while we are away.”
“Sarah is amazing! We needed a sitter for our 5 month old kitten and we were very nervous about using a sitter we didn’t know. Once we met Sarah we knew she’d be perfect. She is incredibly nice and an obvious animal lover. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Sarah! We couldn’t have enjoyed our trip without your help with Gabby!”
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”
“As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!”
“Emily was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of Louie while we were out of town for the week and treated him with so much gentleness and attention. She made sure he was well fed, comfortable, and clearly cared for, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and Louie was in great hands. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable cat sitter.”
“Caroline was a lifesaver! The thought of leaving our kitty at home with a stranger for 16 days was nerve-wracking, to say the least! Thankfully, we found Caroline, and she took the anxiety out of the equation. She took care to follow out instructions and maintain Tatsu's kitty routine with minimal disruption. In addition, Caroline gave regular updates and communicated in detail about how things were going. It was clear from her communication that Tatsu had settled in well with her new caregiver. When we returned home, we found a healthy and content little cat and a spotless home. We are deeply grateful for Caroline's cat sitting and would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

“Pinky loves her time with Shao. She gets the attention she needs and Pinky wants it all the time. Shao always keeps me updated on her throughout the day with pictures and videos. It makes me happy that she is happy with Shao and knowing Pinky is being taken care of so great!”
About: I work from home as a customer service agent, and I have all the time to care and watch the furbabies. I will make sure your fur baby will be safe, healthy and having fun while you are away. It will be my pleasure to take care of your fur baby. I’m home most of the time. I can guarantee he/she is taking care off while you are away. I can keep an eye of him/her. I am a pet lover ever since when I was a kid. I had 2 dogs back home and 1 dog here with me. He/she will enjoy playing with my fur baby.
“Marie was so great with Winston! I could tell he immediately felt comfortable and safe with her! She also sent many updates so I knew how he was doing. I definitely will bring him back, thank you again Marie!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and personality my whole life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, overnight stays, and basic manners. I now run Munchies’ Playhouse and live with my own two small dogs (a Shih Tzu and a Chiweenie), so I understand pack energy, leash reactivity, and pups who need extra patience. We’re walking distance from Orange Dog Park for daily playtime and also have a private fenced yard, so we can socialize if your dog enjoys it or keep things quieter in our own space if they prefer. Comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication reminders, and dogs who do better on separate walks. All sizes welcome. I send photo and video updates so you always know how your baby is doing. I’m home 7 days a week, so pet care isn’t squeezed around another job, your dog can have as much time as they need. I offer weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I can usually do mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I plan around my own two dogs’ routines so everyone stays exercised and calm. Last-minute or extra visits are welcome when my calendar is open. Meet-and-greets required first so we can lock in a schedule that actually works for your pup. In my home, visiting dogs have a calm indoor space plus a private fenced yard. My two small resident dogs (a Shih Tzu and a Chiweenie) can keep your pup company if they’re social, or we keep things separate if they do better on their own. I follow your routine for feeding, meds, potty breaks, and crating. Walks are on-leash unless you say otherwise; dogs who need it get their own walk. We’re also walking distance from Orange Dog Park for playtime when that’s a good fit. I watch energy, appetite, and behavior closely and send photo/video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Meet-and-greet required before the first stay/walk to ensure that we are a good fit for you.
“Sarah was great! She sent me check in pictures and even took my dog Jean to the coffee shop with her when her power/wifi went out due to the crazy winds we got today. Will book again!”
“I’m a first time Rover mom and found Jade L to be a gem! She was super understanding and accommodating of my changes due to family emergency. Then, talk about LOVE she provided my fur babies…Jade L is hands down awesome and has a big and soft heart for ! She took care of Alex and Sky as if they were her own. She sent photos and text to keep me informed of unusual behavior (ie, whimpering) and she also provided a report out at end of day/pick up time. I appreciate you, Jade! Thank you so much!”
“Couldn't be happier with Stephanie. She's not only incredibly friendly but also very perceptive – she discovered my dog's love for fish treats without me having to say a word! Her warm communication style made me feel at ease throughout the sitting. Definitely my go-to for future dog-sitting needs!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!”
“Stanly was amazing! He was extremely understanding and accommodating to us. He took good care for Ryo and took pictures as we would like. Overall, we highly recommend him!”
“Jeffery was fantastic. Our puppy is very skittish and doesn’t take to new people easily. By the end of doggy daycare, she was letting him pet her and feed her treats. This speaks volumes! It is clear from all interactions with Jeffery that he’s a very caring individual that puts your pet first and foremost. Would definitely recommend. Also his dog Barney was the cherry on top! Both dogs loved to play together.”
“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”

I have furbaby sat for multiple furbabies in one household which one of whom who had a heart condition that required medication distribution 2x a day. I also helped ease anxiety ridden fur babies by being present, cuddling, create a song and dance number if they let me and taking a ton of photos. Also have had requests to take of care other pet babies such fishes and Guinea pigs as well. I ensure that all furbabies basic needs are met but also their social-emotional wellbeing. Animals require lots of love as they can have a hard time being out of their element. I have unconditional love to provide while their parents can do what they need with peace, ease, and comfort knowing that their fur babies are safe and cared for in a lovingly environment. I am available for doggy/kitty daycare and boarding in my home from Monday-Saturday (fur babies can be picked up Saturday morning/afternoon). If you need a Sunday accommodations I am willing to work with you. I am available Monday-Saturday for walk. will do my best to be accommodating to the pets needs.

I have the time and love to provide for fur babies as I given already given my time and care for human children while I was employed with child welfare. *PLEASE NOTE: While rover does not require a meet n greets (although highly recommended by them), I DO REQUIRE a meet n greet. This is to ensure that all of our furbabies get along and are safe. Safety is my number one priority. I am willingly to work with your schedule to ensure the meet n greet happens, however after 2 failed attempts to meet n greet, I will have to respectfully decline further services. Thank you and looking forward to caring and cuddles with your furbabies. I live on the top floor of a studio. Condo. My windows are safeguard so no furbaby can escape or be harmed. If there’s a specific schedule that needs to be followed (i.e dietary needs, meds, etc) i will need it in writing what that schedule will look like. I usually will wash all animal dishes prior to meals and ensure there’s adequate clean water supply at all times. I will provide walks, playtime, cuddles and medication(if necessary). I have great communication skills and will provide updates and photos upon request. I am near two parks where the dogs can play and walk while feeling safe.
“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”

“Luke has been amazing with my stubborn bullies. Getting them to move when they don’t want to but also exercising patience and love. He truly is the dog whisper and grateful that we found him!”
“Sarah was super great!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and he’s more on the anxious side but she was extremely patient and understanding of his space and boundaries. In addition to sending mepictures from their walk she also included a detail report of their session which I loved. Will be booking again with Sarah in the near future!”

“My dog Ozzy is a senior dog that requires specific care and Shao made sure to accommodate perfectly! Ozzy gets little panic attacks when alone for too long sometimes and at times requires medication. She used her intuition and gave him his anxiety pill because she felt that he had asthma like symptoms and was restless. When I came home he was and snoring away peacefully. She fed, walked, and made sure to even put his shoes on for the rain even though it’s a bit tricky to figure out how to put them on! I look forward to having her take care of Ozzy again in the future, def recommend if you have a senior dog or any dog for that matter! 10/10.”
“She was really sweet with Foxy. We had great communication the whole time, and even though I didn’t get to meet her in person, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident that Foxy was in great hands. Foxy seemed really happy and excited when she came back from her walk, which I could see on the camera! I would definitely love to have her help walk Foxy again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you again! I really appreciate how kind and caring you were with Foxy.”

“I had a great experience with Sin as my dog walker! She is responsive, punctual, and incredibly gentle and sweet towards Ziggy, who clearly loved walking around the neighborhood with her. He would come home happy and often take a little nap afterward, which is a sure sign he had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking her again for weekly walks! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog walker.”
About: Hi, my name is Emily! I have 3 years experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I own quite a quirky dog myself, so I am patient and understanding when dogs are moody or anxious, and I always take care to learn each dog’s unique personality. I am able to calmly avoid potential altercations and also reassure dogs who are nervous on walks. It is important to me to build a trusting relationship with every animal I work with, even if we are only meeting for 30 minutes. My goal is to help your dog feel safe and at home, get them some exercise, give them plenty of love and attention, and create the best time possible while they are missing you. As a remote worker, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking, playing, or puppy sitting, and along with having an instinct for what animals need, I will always be sure to follow your instructions for feeding, play, simple training, and bathroom schedules as well! While in your home, I will be sure to respect your privacy and standards of cleanliness, and I am comfortable discussing responsibilities of sweeping/vacuuming hair, taking out trash, and cleaning up animal-related messes, particularly during the damper seasons.
“Cheryll is awesome. She truly cares about the dogs she walks. She gave my pups a great walk and was very responsive and followed my instructions perfectly. I will definitely use her again as a dog walker, and would highly recommend her to any dog parents out there.”
“Christine has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dog. She keeps us updated every single day with notes about his behavior, mood, and activities, which gives us so much peace of mind. Her communication is warm, consistent, and thoughtful. She’s incredibly friendly, patient, and truly understands dogs and their needs. You can tell she genuinely cares. Our pup adores her, and we feel so grateful to have someone so dependable and compassionate helping care for him. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. Thank you, Christine, you’re truly amazing!”
“Best dog walker ever!!!! You would be a fool to let anyone else walk your dog, she is so sweet and kind, Frankie just loves her. Responsible, on time, high integrity, a pleasure meeting her, and happy she was able to squeeze in Frankie last minute with huge smile, kind words, and plenty of pictures, she went above and beyond taking such good care of his special needs for pure love!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 5 years (maybe more). Neighbors, friends, and relatives have relied on me for walks, feeding, and grooming. I enjoy taking care of pets(in general) because I love seeing their personalities shine through and it’s rewarding to see them enjoy their time with me. As always I make sure the care I give is the same as their owners because I want to make sure the routine doesn’t change. I work from home which is convenient because my schedule is very flexible. I’m usually free in the afternoons from Monday to Wednesday (1-7pm). Thursdays are my busiest days at work as I have meetings all day until 5pm. And most Fridays I’m free as well(10:30am-6pm). For house sitting, since I have a pet of my own (a cat 🐱), I would need to be home by 6:30pm to feed her for dinner. So I would prefer to care for your pet during the day, leave around 6pm, then come back the following morning to continue care. I am open to staying overnight but it would have to be 2 nights at max. Any house sitting stays more than 2 nights I would need to leave to feed my cat dinner and come back the following morning. When doing visits, I will be attentive of your pet and their environment at all times. Every visit I’ll make sure they’re well fed, water is fresh, and play with them as needed. Please let me know if there are specific instructions that I need to follow when I’m at your residence. I’m also familiar with a bunch of parks that are dog/pet friendly in the peninsula so your pet will always be entertained and safe in my care. Also for house sits, because I wfh and work with patients, please let me know of any cameras in your place and make sure to mute the microphones as I do not want to violate HIPAA.

“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!”
“Thiago took the best care of Rudy this past long weekend. Rudy got a ton of play time and TLC and Thiago kept me updated and sent photos every day. Thiago is also easy to reach and a great communicator. I feel that my pup is in great hands!!! Thank you Thiago!”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“My puppy is now 10 months old now and Wei is the only sitter I use outside of family. I could tell my puppy is well taken care of and happy. I’d trust and wholeheartedly recommend Wei.”
“Cynthia and Chi were able to accommodate our last minute request for the long weekend and our pup had a great time as she always does. Thank you both for always taking such great care of Rizzy!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“William was a great host for our dog! Our little Lola seemed to have a blast the entire time with them and their dog Audi, and came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from her time playing! We also had an emergency where our return flight was cancelled and pushed back to the next day. William was able to accommodate and added the extra day with no problems, so we knew our little one was safe and gave us one less thing to worry about. They were very good with constant photos and updates to let us know of her progress while we were gone, and our dog seemed sad to leave at the end. I highly recommend William and will definitely be willing to use them in the future.”
“Brianna and Jerry did a great job taking care of Domingo who is a 1 and 1/2-year-old mix of labrador and Shepherd, and he is high energy. They sent videos and photos everyday and ask me questions about Domingo's diet. They also helped with training him not to pull on the leash. They both love dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
“Mimi and her partner Wilson took such incredible care of Kobe. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was getting so much love, attention, and genuine care. They kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me huge peace of mind, and it was obvious Kobe was happy, relaxed, and well looked after. You can tell they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like family. I’m very particular about who I trust with Kobe, and I would absolutely book with them again. 10/10 experience, highly recommend to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters.”
“Tara was wonderful with Kami! Our girl had a short and sweet stay that was absolutely perfect for her laid-back personality. Kami spent her time relaxing in the sun and just hanging out, which is exactly what she loves. We really appreciated Tara's thoughtful communication throughout the stay. Her daily updates and photos gave us peace of mind and made us smile. It was clear that Kami's chill vibe was a great match for Tara's calm and welcoming environment. We could tell Kami had a great time and felt right at home. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Tara again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and personality my whole life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, overnight stays, and basic manners. I now run Munchies’ Playhouse and live with my own two small dogs (a Shih Tzu and a Chiweenie), so I understand pack energy, leash reactivity, and pups who need extra patience. We’re walking distance from Orange Dog Park for daily playtime and also have a private fenced yard, so we can socialize if your dog enjoys it or keep things quieter in our own space if they prefer. Comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication reminders, and dogs who do better on separate walks. All sizes welcome. I send photo and video updates so you always know how your baby is doing. I’m home 7 days a week, so pet care isn’t squeezed around another job, your dog can have as much time as they need. I offer weekday and weekend walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I can usually do mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I plan around my own two dogs’ routines so everyone stays exercised and calm. Last-minute or extra visits are welcome when my calendar is open. Meet-and-greets required first so we can lock in a schedule that actually works for your pup. In my home, visiting dogs have a calm indoor space plus a private fenced yard. My two small resident dogs (a Shih Tzu and a Chiweenie) can keep your pup company if they’re social, or we keep things separate if they do better on their own. I follow your routine for feeding, meds, potty breaks, and crating. Walks are on-leash unless you say otherwise; dogs who need it get their own walk. We’re also walking distance from Orange Dog Park for playtime when that’s a good fit. I watch energy, appetite, and behavior closely and send photo/video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Meet-and-greet required before the first stay/walk to ensure that we are a good fit for you.
“Yining took incredible care of my dog Milo over an 8 day stay. I received a lot of updates, and I had full confidence that Milo was very happy having his own vacation! He and Electra (Yining’s pup) became fast friends and played a ton. Milo also had extra fancy meals and enrichment activities the entire time! I can’t wait to book Yining again.”
“Leeun and her family were one of the best Rover experiences we have had. They are kind and very responsive, easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates on our dog. They were very attentive to his needs, probably giving him more attention and walks than we can at home . We would have them dog sit again in a heartbeat!”
“I think Ellie found a new friend. I was afraid at first that she might not handle Ellies excitement but to my surprise she did it very well. I can Ellie is relaxed with the pictures shes sending me. Ellie even got a christmas present! thanks Sin! so far the best we got! Will definitely be back! Thanks Sin!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Julley was absolutely amazing! She was super communicative from the get-go and she pays attention to details. Marvel is usually picky about who she likes but she formed a connection with Julley instantly. Julley went the extra mile to take care of Marvel and I felt so comfortable having my fur baby in her hands. Julley was very responsive with her messages and pictures. She is a very capable sitter and was able to follow all my care instructions. We definitely look forward to booking with Julley again!”
“Maggie & Matthew were wonderful! They took great care of our pup while we were traveling and provided consistent updates about some stomach issues Frankie was having and how much fun she was having with the other dogs! Additionally, Maggie and Matthew were patient and understanding as we learned some new behaviors of Frankie’s during her stay. We definitely recommend them!”
