“Simply amazing. Simba was comfortable the minute he met Lourdes and Braden. Such a lovely couple who took such great care of our dog. I will definitely use them again.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“Lauren took great care of my sweet old lady pup. She sent pictures and responded promptly if I had questions while away. My pup is blind and needs eyedrops, and I felt secure with Lauren watching her. 5 stars!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Clara was the perfect dog sitter for Jake. After relying on the same sitter for the past 8 years, we were reluctant to look for a new sitter once our regular dogsitter discontinued her service because our dog is such a creature of habit. But we needn't have had concerns. Clara was extremely attentive to Jake's needs, followed our instructions to a "T" and provided a wonderful environment to explore in her lovely backyard while her own dog, Diego, proved to be a sweet companion for Jake to play with. Clara was extremely commuicative and sent us photos and videos several times a day so we could be reassured that he was being well cared for. In short, we give Clara our highest recommendation and look forward to her becoming our regular dog sitter.”
“I am so happy to have found Fiona and Yuan for my golden Lexa, who adores them and their kids! I got lots of pictures during her stay showing how much she was loving her life with this amazing family, including their two kids, who sparkled with joy and excitement to have Lexa there. Thank you Fiona and Yuan!”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“Ping and her family are the best! She offered a “meet and greet” prior to boarding which gave us peace of mind that we were choosing a responsible and thoughtful sitter. She sent pictures and videos throughout the boarding and walked the dogs throughout the day. She even made a special meal as treat for the dogs. She goes above and beyond. Thank you, Ping!”
“Lili and Matt did such a wonderful job watching our pooch. A+! Lili provided us with photos and video updates. Gave our dog (Koa) so much care and attention. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Lili & Matt.”
“Thank you so much Shipra for taking such good care of Fresco and making him feel like home. I would totally recommend her if you are looking for a home away from home for your fur baby. Loved her family and how they all bonded with Fresco. She took care of every small details we mentioned and kept us updated with his pictures.”
“Jie (and her family) took wonderful care of our dog Oolong, walking him every day and sending us plenty of pictures! He was clearly well taken care of and loved and we will definitely be coming back!”
“Evelyn was amazing! I was a little nervous leaving Gracie with someone new, but she instantly put my mind at ease. She kept Gracie busy with tons of walks and fun adventures—and the photos she sent showed just how happy and loved Gracie was the whole time! It made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing my pup was in such great hands. I’m so grateful for the care Evelyn gave her & will definitely be using her again!”
“She is very kind and caring with our dog. We really appreciated the updates throughout the day, including videos and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves and pays attention to the dogs in her care.”
“Veronica and her family were amazing! I was in from out of town and had a last minute change of plans and she watched my puppy and I knew he was in good hands as soon as I met her! She sent pictures and pupdates and even took my puppy to the beach! She was a lifesaver and I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again!”
“Divya and her family took wonderful care of our 7 year old Beagle while we were 1000 miles away in Yellowstone National Park. She went above and beyond with regular updates and beautiful photos that put our minds completely at ease. Since Divya has a Beagle of her own, our pet felt right at home and settled in quickly, almost like he found a second family. We can't recommend her highly enough for your pet boarding needs. She's an absolute gem!”
“Max had a really good time at Saumya’s. Daisy is a great dog and got along with Max from the get go. Saumya and her family are very sweet and caring. They took Max to the park and she kept me updated with pics. Felt very comfortable leaving Max with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great place to leave their dog.”
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“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!”

“Hailey was very communicative and friendly. She was very comfortable with our cats, which made us confident in leaving them in her care. She's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“I’ve left my sweet boy with Pashmina twice and every time I feel confident he’s going to have a great time. He gets along well with her cat and Pashmina shares many pictures and videos during his stay so that I know how my cat is doing and feel comfortable. Whenever I go out of town, I plan to book with Pashmina.”
“Anne is professional, kind, attentive, and most importantly, great with our kitties. She always send lots of pictures and detailed updates of our furry children. We've booked with Anne twice and will continue to do so as long as she's available for future pet-sitting needs.”
“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”
“Isabel was attentive and thorough in helping care for my 2 kitties, as well as cleaning the litter box, watering my plants, and grabbing packages. She sent cute photos and was prompt to get to my house each day. She’s friendly and easy to work with-I will be calling her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: My background working for a veterinarian and medical animal rescue enables me to provide quality care for cats of all ages. I love getting to know each of their personalities and always respect their boundaries. You can rely on me to provide peace of mind while you’re away as I have been a cat sitter for 10 years. I’m more than happy to provide updates, especially for those extended trips!
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Ping was great with RB. She’s very kind and gentle. Her pup Cherry is also very sweet and well behaved. I think it’s a bonus for RB to have canine company. Ping sent photos, was able to accommodate last minute request and very responsive. Thanks Ping and Cherry!”
About: Hi! My name is Peyton. I’m an avid dog-lover, and have had the pleasure of owning dogs my whole life in addition to dog sitting for 12 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. In addition, I am comfortable giving medications/ modifying diets as needed, as my own dog suffers from epilepsy and requires medications throughout the day. I am back in the Bay Area after two years of traveling with wide open availability for pet sitting before I begin my masters in September. I have my own reliable transportation and additional references from February and March of 2026 which I would be happy to provide! While I personally own dogs, I have 6 years of experience cat sitting and love to hang out with furry friends of any type. I value the important relationship of pets and their owners, and do not take the responsibility of taking care of your four legged companions lightly. Please do not hesitate to contact me for your pet sitting needs! I am home for a short while after traveling overseas before I begin my masters degree in September. I have wide availability for pet-sitting in any capacity. I also have reliable transportation! I am responsible, clean, organized and deeply care for dogs and cats of any size. I am well equipped for walks, hikes, swims, and plenty of cuddles and pets for your animal.
“Christina communicates well setting up and during drop-in visits. I know what is happening in detail. She took good care of my fur babies making sure they had playtime, love and eating well.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for cats. I’ve cared for my own cats and many others, providing feeding, litter care, playtime, cuddles, and gentle, patient attention. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed and always make sure each cat feels safe and loved. I can care for your cat at your home so they can stay comfortable in their own space. Your furry friend will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I started dogsitting around my neighborhood two years ago and my business has grown very organically since then, with my name spreading from client to client. I have only just decided to get rover to further expand my client base. I now have 13 people who call on me for trusted, in house pet care. As a full time college student, this is the perfect job for me. I have a very pet-sitting friendly schedule. With classes monday-friday 9-1, I have the whole rest of the day to stay in your home and hang out with your pets. I trained my family dog to be a very well behaved, rule following pet, so I know how to handle family pets who are also trained to have certain behaviors. I’m also very active so I will gladly take your dog for a long walk.
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 😇

“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and know how to keep them happy. I dog sit my friends and family’s pets at my home whenever I get the chance. I am free on the weekends and look forward to go on walks and play with Daisy and our guest puppy. On Friday I’m free starting at 3 PM . My 13 and 9 year old daughter and son love to play with dogs. I have a large, fenced, grassy backyard and a doggy door so your dog can play in my yard whenever they want. There are no objects or anything for your dog to step on or eat in my house or backyard - it’s perfectly safe and puppy proofed here!
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pup again, seems she’s warming up to you and the other pups. We appreciate your patience, and helping her work through the nerves. :) You are amazing! I love the continuous updates with photos/ videos! Great to see our girl running and having a good time.”
“Absolutely amazing. I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and Fiona and Yuan were nice enough to accept my booking. Got dates throughout the day on how he was doing and when I picked him up he looked like such a happy pup! Rocket had a blast!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and a few cats!) for about 10 years now. I always treat the pets I watch as if they were my own! I’m on the UCSC track and cross country team which means I’m pretty active, so if your pet loves long walks or runs, I’m all about it!! I’ll be available in Livermore this Summer from June 28-August 2nd **Boarding & Day Care: I have 2 cats at home so only cat-friendly dogs please! I’ll be available in Santa Cruz starting August 17th! I’m a college student, so during the school year (August-June), outside of going to class, I’m home most of the time! That means I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I just recently adopted 2 kittens and have been loving getting to learn the adorable quirks of cats, so I’d absolutely love to look after your cats as well ☺️ When I visit your pet in your home, I ensure all instructions are followed, everything is all cleaned up, and your pet is happy & loved!
“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“Pawparents dropped off for a playdate while attending a wedding. Rocky enjoyed his stay with Maya and other pup friends. Maya sent plenty of updates/pictures. She was very communicative and friendly. Highly recommended!”
About: Growing up, I always had a lot of love for animals and had many different pets from fishes, birds, guinea pig, and dogs. I had a toy poodle for 14 years before she passed and growing up as an only child, she was my best friend and more than a dog. Now, although I don’t have any pets of my own (eventually will!) I love taking care of dogs of my friends and family! I started taking care of dogs around the end of my college years and occasionally take dogs in need for care and more. I know a lot of parks around Pleasanton and tri-valley as I grew up here and would love to take your dogs on a walk! I am also available to check in on your fur baby whenever you need me to. I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the time, love, and attention they need. I make sure to plan my day around walks, playtime, and check-ins so that your furry friend always feels cared for and never rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I create a calm and loving environment, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure they’re safe, happy, and never left unattended for long. I’m comfortable with crates if needed, giving medications, and providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands.
“Clara was wonderful and very communicative throughout the whole day with Tofu. You can tell she really truly cares not just for her dog, but every dog. She is very sweet and kindhearted and Tofu had a blast staying with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day as well which I really appreciated and spent lots of time with him. We will be in touch soon again, thank you!!”
“Pooja was great with Mochi! She was understanding about Mochi’s quirks and handled her well and made her feel comfortable by letting her sniff and hang around freely in her house. She also got to meet Duchess and other doggo friends. She updated us regularly with pictures and at the end of the day gave us a detailed update about how the boarding went! Mochi is definitely looking forward to her next staycation with Pooja and Duchess!”
“We really enjoyed our experience with Qiyun and Benjamin! They were very communicative, gave updates, and my pup Yoshi clearly had a great time staying with them and got a lot of love and attention! We hope for Yoshi to stay with Qiyun and Benjamin again!”
“I was very happy with how Yu-Shu took care of Guduchi. She was flexible with my hours and kept me updated throughout the day. Her kids also loved my puppy and that was great. We already have another booking with Yu-Shu and I would trust her with my puppy”
“Phenomenally trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Our puppy doesn’t usually like when I’m not around but she was so excited to go see Ying that I’ll probably be moving forward with booking her weekly. Very communicative, responsible, and caring.”
About: I grew up with dogs and more recently had a whippet for 16 years, until he sadly passed a few years ago. I have now a young cat that is very friendly.

We have a fenced yard as well as a nearby dog park. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe. Our house is comfortable and we can care for your pet!

Pets get supervised outdoor time, regular attention, and a calm, clean environment so they feel at home while you’re away.
“Shaka seemed to have a great day at Monisa and David’s house. She even got a nice brushing from Monisa! We feel so lucky to have gotten a referral to Monisa and David from one of their neighbors. We plan to try to book both day care and overnights with Monisa whenever they are available and we have the need. I’m learning they are VERY popular with other pup parents, so booking early is important. Thanks for a perfect first stay for Shaka!!”
“Leena is very nice and her home is setup perfectly to watch your fur babies. Her dog Prince is a sweet boy too. She provides walks, updates, pictures, and everything you can ask for from a sitter.”
“Could not ask for a better dog sitting family! Their house is very dog friendly! They took exceptional care of my very energetic 6 month old Aussie puppy!...could not be happier with them...strongly suggest!”

“Tom walked our fur baby several times over two weeks. He was on time and returned our pup at 30 mins, enough time for all his potty business and exercise! Thank you, Tom!”
“We wanted to thank Mitchell for taking care of our boys. Mitchell was very accommodating to our change of plans and the boys were very happy to see him and go for their walks. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I currently work only 2–3 hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your little one. I’m flexible on weekends as well, which means I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always get my full attention and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She is very nice, sweet, and incredibly responsive. We booked quite late, but she was supportive and accommodating right from the start. We really appreciated that she took the time to come and meet our fur baby the night before the scheduled walk. This helped us feel completely at ease. We loved the pictures she shared with us during the walk, and the report clearly shows he loved the experience and had a great time! We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again”
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals since I was a kid. I treat pets as if they were my own and respect their space when needed. I’ve worked with different such as livestock (horses, goats, sheep, cows) and your typical domesticated pet. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so having the opportunity to watch someone else’s pet brings me tremendous joy. I currently work full time at a vet hospital Tuesday-Saturdays so it is really nice to be able to come home after work to something warm and fluffy. While in a clients home I always check out the home first so I can feel comfortable and see all possible exits. For pets to gain my trust I always let them sniff me first and treat them as if they were mine. I give them space when they need it. I have high respect for an owners home as well and treat it as if it were my home.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I currently focus exclusively on dog walking and bring a calm, safety-first approach to every visit. As a nursing student and part-time consultant, I’m used to following instructions closely, paying attention to small details, and communicating clearly — all of which help me provide dependable, thoughtful care. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs through friends and family and genuinely enjoy being around them. I’m mindful of leash control, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level, and I take the time to learn what works best for every individual dog. I always prioritize meet-and-greets so both you and your dog feel comfortable before we get started. During walks, I keep things structured but relaxed — never rushed — with attention to pacing, safety, and the environment. After each walk, you can expect a clear update so you know how everything went. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your dog is in attentive, responsible hands, and for your dog to enjoy a calm, positive walk every time. I currently work part-time remotely and take most of my classes online, which allows me a flexible schedule to provide reliable dog walks throughout the week. On weekdays, I am available in the mornings and early afternoons, and weekends are fully open, allowing for multiple walks if needed. Because of my flexible routine, I can provide consistent, punctual, and attentive walks, always following the owner’s instructions and making sure each dog gets safe, unrushed time outdoors. I plan my schedule carefully to accommodate both pets and owners, and I always leave buffer time between walks to ensure punctuality and reliability. During every dog walk, I prioritize safety, trust, and a controlled environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the dog securely leashed at all times, and stay aware of surroundings, other dogs, and traffic. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, energy level, and comfort, adjusting the pace and distance accordingly. I also communicate clearly with owners before and after each walk, providing updates or photos so they know their dog is safe and happy. I plan walks with buffer time to avoid rushing, and I make sure the dog’s comfort and well-being are the top priority from start to finish.
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.
“Isabel was great with my two large dogs! She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet and was very helpful in making sure the dogs were taken care of! Looking forward to booking more walks with her!”
About: Hi! My name is Renee, and my passion for animal care began with my rescue dog, Brownie. Over the past 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even goats & farm animals of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I have experience with: • Puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and multi-pet households • Large dogs (80+ lbs) and working breeds • Rescue dogs and reactive dogs • Administering oral medications Some of my previous pet care experience includes: • Caring for a Shiba Inu requiring oral medication for 1.5 months • Dog sitting 4 dogs from the same household for 3 weeks • Caring for 2 cats and 1 kitten from the same household for 1 month • Walking, jogging and hiking with dogs • Volunteering with Furry Friends Rescue and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue I’m especially comfortable working with rescue and reactive dogs. My own dog has reactivity challenges, so I understand the importance of patience and picking up on body language before a reaction happens. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m happy to reinforce any training methods or routines you already use with your dog. My approach to pet care is centered around respect for each animal’s individual personality and boundaries. I prioritize clear communication and provide frequent updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away. I love meeting new dogs and cats and learning about their quirks, and I hope to meet your furry friend(s) soon! I understand my profile is new, so I don’t have as many testimonials. I have done work exchanges in the past on Workaway and WWOOF, and have attached those reviews as screenshots. You can also request references from me. I will be fully available for the entire month of August 2026 for any of your pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I take the time to get to know each dog by asking lots of questions and observing their personality and play style. I love playing with dogs, my own dog often mistakes me for one because I match his energy! Working with reactive dogs has taught me that every dog has their own boundaries and unique personality. I never treat one dog the same as another and am always respectful of your pet’s limits.
About: I’ve had many different animals including birds, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles, dogs, and cats. I’ve been a professional pet sitter for a couple of years now walking dogs and house sitting. I have experience with young and old animals such as senior dogs that are blind and deaf along with puppies that have a lot of energy. I do work full time, but I am able to come in the morning, lunch time, and in the evening as well as anytime on weekends! I care for pets in client’s homes by helping with feeding or letting them go outside to go to the bathroom. I look around the house to make sure there are no accidents. I play with them for 5-10 min outside if they need to get some exercise or take them on walks. I help with tidying up the house if needed and helping senior pets with any special modifications they need.
About: Hello, my family and I are huge animal lovers. We have been pet sitting for for a little over 3 of years now. We travel for long periods so don't have our own pets. This is why when your pet comes to our house, he/she will get spoiled with attention. We try and keep animals that are smaller than 50-55 lbs so they can enjoy free space in the house. I sometimes work at a school so my weekday calendar is usually blocked . Dogs will get lots of exercise when they're with us. about every 2 hours. They are allowed up on the sofa so come cuddle with us. Looking forward to meeting your fur family. I work at a school part time. So daytime usually they will hang out with my husband who works from home. Then afternoon onwards, myself and my two extremely gentle and sweet teen kids will be home to give the pet our undecided attention. Our house is fully fenced all around and pets will always be inside the house unless they want to sun bathe in the back yard.
About: Hello Rover Pleasanton! I am ready to help care for your furry family members. Happy to walk once or multiple times a day. And of course play time may be included. Special requests by you are not a problem and yes, I love giving treats and lots of hugs. About this sitter: Pleasure to meet you! My name is Lauren and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I am a dog lover and past owner (recently passed away). As a responsible dog owner I know what it's like to feel anxious about my dog's safety and well being when I'm not at home. Between myself and Rover.com, I think you will find the perfect dog walker! I feel it is essential for dogs to have at minimum 3 walks per day. As a responsible driver, I would also be willing to take your dog to its favorite dog park or open space. I will of course provide you with photos, and text updates, and any other special requests you may have. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Why I love dog waking: Walks gives us a chance to get outdoors for some fun in sun while we run/walk off some energy, get some exercise, and strengthen social skills. Meet my pets: I have no pets living in my house. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable administering oral and injected medications. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furry floofs! I am pleased to walk and play once, or multiple times a day. We can walk familiar routs, go to the dog park, or hike some trails. Treats will always given. I will always send photos upon pick up, walk/play time and alert you upon drop off. I also intend to keep them on a lead while on walks.

Thank you Fiona and Yuan!”

She kept Gracie busy with tons of walks and fun adventures—and the photos she sent showed just how happy and loved Gracie was the whole time!

“Max had a really good time at Saumya’s. Daisy is a great dog and got along with Max from the get go. Saumya and her family are very sweet and caring. They took Max to the park and she kept me updated with pics. Felt very comfortable leaving Max with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great place to leave their dog.”
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“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!”

“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.”
