About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.
“Andrea was great with our dog who takes a while to warm up to people. She was also very flexible with last minute changes to our schedule. I highly recommend!”
“Andy does a great job of walking my dog selective, fear reactive dog. He gives me detailed updates on how each walk went. It’s great to find someone so reliable and communicative to walk my dog while I’m at work!”
About: Hi! I’m Tram, and I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for nearly 3 decades. With 29 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and quirks—from playful puppies to wise seniors. Animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a cozy cuddle session, or specialized care, I tailor each experience to meet their unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love creating a safe, happy space for animals to thrive. Whether you’re traveling or just need a helping hand, I’ll treat your furry companion like one of my own—with lots of love, playtime, and a few extra belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag together! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive to your pet throughout the day. My typical routine includes a morning walk or play session, regular potty breaks, and lots of cuddle or enrichment time in between. I take breaks often, so your dog will never be alone for long. I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra walks, medication, or just companionship. Your pet will have a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away! Your dog will be cared for like family in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a gated backyard with plenty of space for them to roam, play, and soak up the sunshine. If your pup is crate-trained or you prefer they have a crate for rest time, I can absolutely accommodate that. I also live near McLaren Park, which means your dog will enjoy scenic walks, fresh air, and lots of opportunities to sniff and explore! Whether your pup needs quiet companionship or high-energy play, I tailor the day to their personality and needs. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Arilla has been a reliable and responsive dog walker! She really loves dogs and is clearly very good with them. She is communicative and thorough and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Andrew was great with Butters! I felt at ease during work knowing my dog was well taken care of. He took lots of photos and communicated if anything was out of the ordinary. Would definitely be rebooking again in the future.”
“thank you so much for helping me such late notice!! 🤍”
About: Hi, I’m Teresa! I’ve always loved dogs and now have one of my own, Juno, a 3 year old old mini Goldendoodle :) He’s sweet, a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s playful, energetic, and obsessed with fetch and bubbles. He’s non-reactive, pretty submissive, and usually gets along great with other dogs. 🗓 Availability Weekdays – San Francisco, Daly City, South SF • Dog walking • Boarding (in my home with Juno) • House sitting (as long as I can work remotely) I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether your pup is staying with me, I’m stopping by for a visit, or taking them on a walk, I always treat them like they’re my own, with patience, care, and lots of affection. On walks, I’m cautious and observant, always reading your dog’s body language and adjusting based on what they need, whether that’s more space from other dogs, extra sniff time, or a slower pace. When your dog stays with me (or I stay with them), I’ll adjust to whatever makes them feel most comfortable, whether that’s quiet time in their own space, interactive play, or lots of cuddle breaks. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to match your fur baby’s vibe!
“Joey was very communicative, confident, and professional, and ready to keep Kaia occupied during her walk. I could tell Kaia had a great time with her! Would definitely rebook. Thank you!”
About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Currently, I have a flexible summer schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. At the end of August, I’ll return to full-time work as a paraprofessional, but I’ll still be available during the evenings and weekends. I’m committed to working with your schedule to ensure your pet gets consistent, loving care. Although I don’t have much experience yet, I make up for it with a genuine love for animals, a careful approach, and a strong willingness to learn. I follow all instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide gentle care, attention, and respect for your pet’s routine and your space.

About: I’ve been helping to care for our family’s cats (feeding and litter boxes) from a very young age. I also have quite a bit of experience pet-sitting and have stayed overnight to care for friends’ pets. I will often take family or friends’ pets for walks while visiting, just because I enjoy being around animals. I am very diligent and will maintain any schedule or special instructions you might have. I do work full time from 8-4:30, Monday through Friday, but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I do some tutoring after work but will be able to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I live in an apartment, but we do have a fenced in dog park and there are several large parks nearby. I do have a cat and dog (who are rather spoiled), but they are both quite friendly and ready to keep your pet company. My apartment is a decent size, and I strive to take my dog (a senior mini pinscher) out at least four times per day.
“Christal is very professional and knowledgeable with dogs! Gizmo was immediately comfortable with her and would love to continue booking with her!”
About: Hello, I am a recent retiree. I worked for the government for 25+ years. I have owned two dogs in my lifetime. Simon who lived for 16 years and Judd who lived for 12 1/2 years and sadly passed away this past March. Throughout my life, animals have always played a special role. After Simon died, I wrote a book about losing him as it impacted me so much. I swore that if/when I was to have a second dog I would never take them for granted. Judd was an Animal Assisted Therapy dog for 8 years. Ive also volunteered for PAWS and am a lifetime donator to Best Friends Animal Society. I was also the volunteer coordinator for Strut Your Mutt in 2013 and 2014. It was a charity event sponsored by Best Friends. In 2018, I volunteered at Glen Afric Wild Cat reserve in South Africa. I could go on and on about how much I love animals especially dogs but you get the idea. Now that I am free, I want to do something with my time that is valuable to me. I’ve used Rover to find sitters for our dog and thought I’d give it a try to care for other dogs. Recently retired so I am free anytime! We recently lost Judd but I’m happy to report we just adopted Wally, our new baby. While we figure out if he has any issues I can’t board right now but I’m happy to come to you! We have a fenced yard with a doggy door so If your pooch is short/little he can use it. I will come to you and follow your instructions on the best way to care for your pooch. I will pay them lots of attention and play with them!
About: Hello my name is Kelly! I have an older sister and one of my younger siblings duty is taking care of her beloved corgi. Of course I have no issues with that because I love dogs. I also have experience with dog sitting a puppy chow chow through adult hood when family is away. I recently took care of a friends miniature golden doodle for multiple days overnight. My specific experience is walking them, taking bathes, feeding, and playing. I would also take on house sitting for friends that do end up going on vacation. I’m currently a college student so I have classes to consider but also I get to pick my schedule so it’s pretty flexible I’m also unemployed as well. I mainly would follow the fur baby’s parents and stick to their schedule or whatever they need me to do. I understand it’s their baby, because mine is, so just mainly following whatever their needs are

Visitacion Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cindy is awesome! We love that she takes such great care of Gizmo. He had a wonderful time on his walk, and we appreciate her flexibility. Cindy is the best!
Mia was great with Bear on her first walk! She was enthusiastic and confident with all 90 lbs of him =) thank you!
Claire is super personable and very attentive to details and instructions! She was taking notes on even little things like certain words we use for commands, etc. Sully must have had a great time with her because he had the most insane zoomies after their walk!
Jamie has been great with walking our senior dog and paying attention to his needs. We so appreciate her communication and support!
Olha was great as ever. Very reliable and excellent communication. Also some really cute pics from her walks with Clover!
Thanks Sahar for walking Orion today, and for the meet and greet yesterday. Orion was very happy, and I love the photos! This was the first time walking with Orion, and we’ll contact her again for sure! Thanks! 🫶
Natalie was able to come by to walk my pup on last minute notice and followed all care / access instructions to a T! I would definitely count on Natalie again in the future.
Lucie walked our dog Woody with very little heads up and was a total pro! She asked great questions, was very communicative and he warmed to her quickly. She made us feel like he was in great hands. Definitely will be booking Lucie again!
Jason is great. My pup loves him. He plays with him and takes him for nice walks. Usually my dog is shy with new people, but he adopted Jason right away,.
Sarah did a great job with my dog Reese! She was communicative, showed up right on time, and even sent a few photos! I highly reccomend Sarah if you are looking for someone to watch your pup!
Obasi did a great job walking our two pups. He took the time to come by for a quick meet and greet beforehand, which helped the dogs feel comfortable with him right away. They seemed to connect with him quickly, and everything went smoothly. We appreciated his thoughtful approach and would be happy to work with him again.
Adriana is amazing! She was so patient and understanding with my dog, she knew exactly what he needed. He's a reactive dog and she was the perfect calming presence he needed. She has a ton of experience around dogs and it shows. I would definitely recommend her!
Thomas is great! He walked my two dogs while I was out of town and they loved him. He was prompt and professional, and even came over ahead of my trip to meet the dogs and gather information about them, their rituals, practice the leashes, etc. The dogs are a bit of a handful to walk, and he didn't have any problems, so he can handle pullers 😅. I would definitely use him again!
Professional, flexible and simply amazing!! My dog loved his walks and from the photos you can tell he had a great time. Always came back happy and very much content and needs meet for the evening ☺️
Jackie Brown sure loves Andrea. From the moment they met they had a connection. Seeing Jackie actually walk far on her first walk today is reassuring we picked the right person. Kismet as they call it. Looking forward to having a new human friend for when I’m away.
Mick was great and I would highly recommend him! He was easy to coordinate with and provided great care to Gigi.

- Cute photos and a personalized note
