“I can't say enough positive things about Paola!

She sent us multiple pictures every day and was very at ease knowing our dog was being very well taken care of!”
“Jousline did an amazing job caring for my French Bulldog, Jorden. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Jorden can be a little particular, but Jousline was patient and handled everything professionally. I also appreciated the updates and communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jousline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Tony did a great job watching our dog Enzo! He made sure Enzo got plenty of play time and lots of water, and lots of trips outside!!

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from young puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds, so I’m comfortable handling both small and large breeds. My experience also includes caring for dogs with anxiety, special routines, and medication needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and cared for while they’re with me. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs plenty of exercise, a senior dog who needs a slower paced walk, or a nervous dog who needs extra patience and reassurance, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and dependable care. I have a flexible schedule and can meet any needs your dog(s) have. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I will care for your dog in their own home, allowing them to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog receives plenty of attention and exercise.
“I hesitate to brag on Kristen so much because I want to keep her all to ourselves!!!!! She is AMAZING!!!! Kristen will treat your pet like they were her own. She’s extremely communicative, so kind, and really gave us such incredible peace of mind while we were away. Kristen, we thank you immensely for being so fantastic to Nellie!”
“Wonderful experience. Victoria put us and our 2 dogs at ease. Our dogs were treated well and received lots of attention. She shared some photos and messages with us. Would definitely use again and recommend.”
“My Leah is a wonderful dog but can become sad when we leave her. Joanna was amazing!!! She was very interactive with Leah the whole time she cared for her. Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”
“Thomas was a wonderful sitter and treated Zoey like she was her owner. We felt very comfortable leaving her there over the weekend. So sad he can’t watch her for our next trip.”

About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.
About: Hi! I’m April, and caring for animals has always been part of who I am 🤍 I live a calm, home-centered lifestyle and truly love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even backyard animals, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, gentleness, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pet. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and very in tune with animals’ needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a slower approach, I meet them where they are. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting I’m happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. My goal is simple — to give your pet a peaceful, loving experience while you’re away 🤍 I’d love to meet you and your furry family!
About: I have taken care of many cats since I was a child. Friends, family, colleagues both drop in and boarded. Able to administer all medications and special requests for any animal. I provide loving, reliable, customized care for each cat.
About: Hi! My name is Mia. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dogs; being able to love and take care of my three munchkins is one of my favorite parts of being alive. That being said, half of my heart will always be with animals. I grew up in an incredibly dog-loving family. We unfortunately never had any cats, but I have assuredly tried to change that; unsuccessfully :( From a very young age, I was constantly put in charge of keeping an eye on my dogs while my family was out or had company over. I realized I didn’t mind at all! I currently have three pups! My senior Lab mix, Oreo; a Cavapoo, named Charlie; and a Cockapoo, named Benny. I won't be shy to repeat how much love and joy these dogs give me every day. Since being the token dog-babysitter all my life, my family encouraged me to find a job at my local doggy daycare. I had always admired how much thought and detail they put into their business, and was excited for the opportunity to be surrounded by animals all day, MY DREAM! I ended up being very disappointed, however. It turns out my version of pet care didn’t exactly align with theirs. Since there are SO many animals in that facility, they did everything in a very one-size-fits-all manner. 4 walks a day, feeding, group playtime, next dog. In theory, that was an honorable system with that many dogs in one building. However, I had always wanted to go dog by dog, get to know them, sit in their kennel with them, and take my time. I wasn’t always able to do that due to the system already put in place. I realized each and every animal are so incredibly different and fluid in their own way. They require different things, have different habits, like things a certain way, and have different backgrounds and preferred environments. For example: my dog, Benny, was rescued from a foster family that takes in animals that are up for euthanization. We aren’t fully sure of what Benny’s life was like before that, but we know he was tossed around to households that didn’t treat him the best. This makes him the extremely reactive dog he is today. It is very frustrating to have a pet who attempts to bite every single stranger that he doesn’t know very well, but that makes it all the more worth it. To know that we are able to be that safe, loving family for him; To know that we are working on his anxiety towards new people in the most gentle way possible, like so many other families have failed to do. All of this to say I like to take my time with all puppies and have lots of experience with reactive/senior pets! I prefer to get to know them, adhere to their routine, likes and dislikes, and make sure my care is at the utmost quality as they’d like it. I have fortunately reclaimed my token-dog-babysitter title and have been able to take care of many of my friends’ and family's pets for weeks/days at a time, and would love to do the same with yours! Also PS: I do not require any pet sitters myself, so the “My Pets” tab is empty. All of my babies are in my “Photos” tab. I am currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty much limited to Friday-Sunday for long term care. Along with another part-time job. However, my schedule varies week to week, so if there is any point where you would need care during weekdays, I am completely open to coming up with a solid plan and schedule. I much prefer to go to the clients home, since my three pups don't exactly love the extra company. However, I am very meticulous with the way I treat other peoples spaces and animals, as I have mentioned before. I would not like anyone coming into my home, and not honoring it the way I see fit. I also have a very OCD system, where I ensure everything is clean and where it should be before I leave. Again, this is your home and your system, there is no reason it should be disrupted. All that being said, your pet is my #1 priority. After reading my "get to know me," I am sure you are very familiar with my method and how much time I like to take with animals. I also realize it would be really hard to explain my own dogs specific routine to anyone else, but I WANT YOU TO BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE! If they will only take medication every night with a certain flavor of pill pocket, or only can be hand-fed their breakfast/dinner; I want to know it all!
About: With 22 years of hands-on cat experience and having cared for over 7 cats of my own, I truly understand the unique personalities, needs, and quirks that make each kitty special. From shy, independent cats to playful, affectionate ones. I have experience administering medication, which means I’m confident handling kitties who need a little extra support, whether it’s pills, liquid meds, or special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to check in on their cats, feed them, play with them, and give them companionship while they’re away. I treat every cat like my own.
“Brianna dropped in for my two cats while I was away! She arrived on time everyday and took great care of them! I loved receiving the pictures she took of them everyday and it’s clear that they enjoyed having her around :)”
“Jennifer took incredible care of my two-year-old cat, and I couldn’t be happier! This was my first time having someone outside of my family pet sit, so I was definitely nervous — but Jennifer instantly put me at ease. I left very specific instructions and shared my worries with her, and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She kept me updated after every visit with detailed reports and plenty of photos, which I truly appreciated. From her updates and the way my little guy looked in the pictures, I could tell he trusted her completely and felt safe and loved in her care. I’m so grateful I chose Jennifer and would book her again and again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up in a dogs only family but about 2 years ago I adopted my first cat, Mako and fell in absolute love, so much so that he might have changed me to team cat. I am happy to provide your cats the same love and care I do for my own while you are away.
“Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!”
About: Love animals and always have had a ton throughout the years. Dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies etc. I truly think animals are our best friends Remote working individual so my schedule is extremely flexible. I walk my own pup multiple times a day and can be very accommodating for others I live very close to the beach and take my pup for runs regularly- I also have a decent size backyard. Milo loves to play with other dogs
“Sophia did a great job checking on my animals. She was clean, thorough, always checked in and sent photos. She’s trustworthy and good with animals, and I’m very happy with her as a pet sitter.”
About: I have had two dogs that we adopted as puppies, one was a small dog and the other is a medium bully breed. I also have experience with cats via friends and family. I used to dogsit for my neighbor’s senior dog as well! I love all animals of any size, breed, shape, etc! :) I am recently graduated from my master’s degree program and am currently working a couple nights a week as a server until I start my full time job in September! I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a park close by and the salty bay for them to sniff, and I also have experience with difference types of houses/yards when it comes to client’s homes.

“Mary Ellen was great with our French Bulldog puppy. She watched him for four days while we were in North Beach on vacation. Jack looked forward to seeing her every time and we were able to go to the beach and out to dinner without worrying about him. I would highly recommend Many Ellen”
“Cindy was wonderful and took amazing care of Kylo, and agreed to watch him without much notice. It was obvious she gave him amazing care and spoiled him, and was also very attentive to the guidance we gave her. Thanks Cindy!”
“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”
“ait was our first pet sitting experience with our Sheltie who spends little time alone and can be anxious when we go away. Kristen made her feel at home and sent us updates, we felt very comfortable to have chosen her! Highly-recommended pet sitter, we will contact her for our next time away.”
“I was so pleased with the care sadie received i would highly recommend them for anyone who needs peace of mind while on vacation thank you again for your care will absolutely use them again”
About: I have been a dog/cat owner since I was two years old and there is no pet I do not love. I have owned German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Mixed breeds, a Papillion, a Great Dane as well as a Himalayan and an Orange Tabby cat. I am able to spend a lot of time with any age pet and treat them as if they’re my own. Being disabled I’m home a lot. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog would be free to run and play. I use a walker. My home has an elevator. Therefore, it is not a problem to let them out frequently. Just let me know what your dog loves and I will make sure they have the best time possible! I do not work. I am disabled. Therefore I’m home a whole lot, probably too much. This enables me to spend quality time with your pet. I have a fenced in backyard. I do not have any dogs or cats of my own. Therefore, I am able to devote all my time and attention to your loved one.
About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
About: I've had my own dog for the past 9 years, and caring for them has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide a safe, comfortable home for dogs during the workweek. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to give plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles while following each owner's routine to help their dog feel happy and relaxed. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and exercise in my fenced yard while following your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup enjoys relaxing, playing, or just being near someone during the day, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, fully vaccinated resident dog. I will introduce dogs slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. If separation of the two dogs is important to you, I can also accommodate that request. I also have three children (ages 16, 10, and 4), who are in school for most of the day. While I'm working from home, visiting dogs stay with me in my home office so they're never without supervision. When my children return home, visiting dogs have the option of remaining with me in my office in a separate area from the rest of the household if they need a quieter space or if separation is the safest choice. I can provide either a crate-free stay or crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I'll always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs, so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve taken care of puppies who need patience, structure, and reinforcement of basic training, energetic adult dogs who thrive on activity and routine, and senior dogs who require a gentler pace, medication awareness, and extra attentiveness. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s specific needs, whether that means reinforcing potty training, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, or simply providing calm companionship. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work fully remote from home and have flexibility in setting my schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs your pet may have. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and can receive consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and companionship. Because I structure my work independently, I can easily adjust my schedule to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind-down time. It’s important to me that pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for, not just supervised.
“Nicolena was wonderful and accepted my last minute request to watch my baby 🥲 she kept me updated with so many pictures throughout the day!! She will be my first pick when I come down next”

“My family and I were traveling through New Jersey with my fur baby in tow . My dog is a 12 years old toy Yorkie. I don't travel without her. Due to family plans, I required pet sitting and being away from home was very nervous entrusting my fur baby to a stranger. Rebecca was awesome!! She was very caring of my Chocolate, sent updates and pictures, and was attentive to my instructions and her needs. I definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“Zoe would rush up to Michelle’s door excited to spend the day with her. She was safe and I could tell she had a great time. It was such peace of mind knowing she loved being with Michelle and was having a great time while I was working.”

Jorden can be a little particular, but Jousline was patient and handled everything professionally. I also appreciated the updates and communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jousline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

Our pouch didn’t even want to come home he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Ashley again!”
“Corinne took great care of our Remy. I looked forward to the updates and pictures she sent.

We will DEFINITELY use Corinne again.”

“Kim was wonderful with our Scouty! She sent lotsnof pictures, was able to tend to his medical needs, and kept him calm and happy while we were away. It was hard to leave him, as we know he gets anxious when we're away, but we had no worries once he was there. Wonderful experience! Thanks, Kim!”
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”

Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”

“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Gwen is amazing! I felt she displayed the confidence in handling our 90lb Rhodesian Ridgeback from the moment we met- She properly and confidently introduced her dog to Ffion in a calm, controlled manner. She truly understands a dogs mindset and immediately connected with Ffion- she is a dog lover through and through! She welcomed Ffion as if she was part of their family and I felt that our dog would be safe, loved, and more than cared for on her overnight stay. A beautiful fenced in yard, a warm and kind family who also clearly loves dogs, organized (with her instructions printed) and clean + comfy environment. I look forward to booking with Gwen in the near future and we are so happy that we found her! Highly recommend!”
“Great experience! Clear communication and frequent updates/ pictures. Ashley and her family were a home away from home for our dog. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“I think my dog had a better vacation than we did. Kat and Bojo got along just wonderfully. It’s a comforting feeling when the person watching your pet loves them as much as you. Many thanks. Hope you are available next year when we come back.”
