“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”

“My 5 year old definitely has separation anxiety. When my family booked a vacation elsewhere than our planned my house, instead of hauling him off to boarding in his presidential suite, I decided to let him have the joy of staying in his bed with his toys and in the comfort of his home. Ashley agreed to come meet my pup so they could become acquainted before we booked and they hit it off immediately! Day 1 of be being gone, I received several photos helping ease my stress of my sweet pup. By day 2, he was cuddling with her on the couch! I definitely found my pup sitter from now on! I would also like to add, I had the sitter stay in my home while I was away, and I walked into my house finding it cleaner than I had left it. Thank you Ashley for taking such great care of my pup!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets and animals for an incredibly long time. Since I was a child, even. I grew up with dogs and cats. All of my friends ask me to petsit for them because I am so good at it. I’m perceptive, can multitask very well, and caring. I’m also very good at following directions to a T. I love animals, and naturally, my own heart yearns to protect animals to keep them safe and happy. Sitting does this for me, and I am grateful for this. I can take care of all types of dog breeds and cat breeds. Including fish, reptiles, and rodents. Even the “scarier ones”, like spiders or snakes. I’m currently working by picking up random jobs when I am available. And so, I can truly choose whenever to work. My availability is incredibly flexible. My availability is literally all the time. Depending on the house I’m sitting at, I’ll improvise. But, if I do notice that something needs to be done or brought in order to keep those pets safe and sound, I will absolutely go grab it or have it delivered so I can find a solution.

“Micheal was fantastic from the first point of contact . Communication was excellent before caring for Holly and Kobe and during the time they were in his care. Micheal ensured he had all the information he needed to care for Holly and Kobe . He took the time to get to know them before we went away . Whilst we was on holiday Micheal would send daily updates with photos. We did not have to worry about Holly and Kobe whilst on holiday as we knew they were being well cared for . We had two happy dogs on our return from holiday and they have not sulked with us for the first time for leaving them !”

About: I have cared for many types of dogs and cats, even horses over many years. I have the patience and passion for the care and love of animals! Detailed orientation professional making sure the client has their needs met having the care and safety of their animals cared for in a timely manner. If the client requires their dogs to be carefully watched within the confined of their fences. Watching the animals from getting into anything they are not allowed. Asking if they would want me to play ball or fetch, or taking the dog(s) on a walk.

“Ashley was fantastic - our 2 pups were very well cared for, happy (one goes on a hunger strike usually – so we know she did well as she ate her food🤡) - she sent regular pics & updates. Too, she was incredibly flexible with our schedule – we had a last-minute realtor who wanted to do a showing, and Ashley was very accommodating, quickly tidying our place and taking the dogs out of the home for the showing. Would highly recommend - thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

“Valerie was great! From the moment we met her we knew Rocky would be in greats hands. She took Rocky on many walks and they played plenty of fetch. Valerie is a trustworthy and reliable Rover sitter, we are happy we found her.”

“Yanaeliz was the best house sitter/fur baby watcher one could hope for. She was communicative the entirety of my 10 day trip, as well as care and loved on my 2 dogs just as I would. I came home to a clean home, and 2 loved doggos. I highly reccomend Yayaeliz, as you can trust that your animals and home are in the best hands. I will be using her for every time I am in need of care for my dogs, and encourage you to do the same. Thank you, Yanaeliz!”

About: Throughout my life, we have added several different dog breeds to our family. I will care for your fur babies as they were my own. I am so lucky to have adopted puppies and cared for them until the end of their lives. I am a very caring person and will give your pets lots of attention and love. I am retired, so with that I have plenty of time to play and love your pet. I am available during the week even over night. I have plenty of room in my house for them and will be glad to walk them. I do have a patio that I can close if they want to spend time out doors.

“Nancy did a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby and was so respectful or our home. Max really enjoyed having her around and taking him on walks. Nancy communicated with me every day and let me know how things were going. I would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in both home and shelter settings, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently in medical residency, and as an MD I bring a calm, responsible, and detail-oriented approach—so your pet is always in safe, attentive hands. I also have experience with basic training for young pets like house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Most of all, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency. I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I adjust my schedule to ensure pets are always cared for before and after other commitments. I also set aside extra time weekly for longer walks, enrichment, and cleaning. I am currently in MD residency, so some weeks are busier than others, but I am very communicative—please let me know your needs and I will do my best to make it work. I provide a safe and calm environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care. I follow all owner instructions closely and maintain household security. In a client’s home, I respect the space, value privacy and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

“Thank you, Chloe! We booked house sitting with 2 cats, and greatly appreciated Chloe’s professionalism, and communication. It was heartwarming to receive daily cheerful updates with pictures/videos of our pets receiving excellent care, during our trip away. We would book Chloe again!”

About: I’ve been around animals including dogs, cats, and horses a majority of my life and have been working/volunteering at animal shelters and a therapeutic horseback riding center for about 6 years. I’ve loved and cared for animals of all ages from puppies and kittens to seniors 🐾 I have plenty of experience with animals who face behavioral obstacles such as anxiety or reactivity. I’m comfortable with administering medications or following established training plans to help keep them happy, healthy, and successful. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide them with all the mental and physical enrichment that they need, including plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles! My time will be fully devoted to providing individualized care for your fur baby :) I’m also CPR and First Aid AHA certified and work as a part-time EMT, so I’m comfortable responding calmly and appropriately in emergency situations as your pet’s safety is my absolute priority🐱🐩💕 My schedule is pretty flexible as I just work 2-3 days a week, but I can work around and accommodate you however you need with proper scheduling and communication! I’m currently working part time, but on my days off I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your fur babies! My availability is pretty flexible. I prefer to have a run down of the pets’ routine or any quirks they might have when I am house sitting. I’m a strong believer in sticking to their usual routine and making the animals comfortable!

About: Hi, I'm Toi, and I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. I am conscientious about keeping a home clean, secure, and cared for, and I treat every home as I would want someone to treat my own. I’m attentive to details, reliable about following instructions, and proactive when it comes to communication. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, spending time with animals, getting outside and watching soccer. For me, house and pet sitting is about more than just watching a home or feeding a pet. It’s about providing peace of mind to the people who are away and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re gone. I would be honored to care for your home and your furry family members as if they were my own. Pet care is a consistent part of my life, I have my own dog, and I've been pet and house sitting for over ten years. Caring for animals isn't occasional for me, it's a daily habit, whether it's my own dog's routine of feeding, walks, and playtime, or looking after someone else's pets while they're away. I treat every animal I care for as if it were my own, making sure their feeding schedule, exercise, and comfort stay consistent even when their owners aren't there. I'm also very respectful of the homes I stay in, treating each one with the same care and attention to detail I'd want if it were mine. When I'm sitting at a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible with consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions they provide, like medications or special diets. I treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own, keeping the house clean and undisturbed, and making sure their pet gets the same love and consistency they're used to when their owner is home.

About: I grew up around animals and helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, cattle, and even bees on my dad’s farm. That experience made me very comfortable around animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, check-ins, and following their normal routines. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in nursing school with a fairly flexible schedule outside of class and clinical days. I keep my Rover calendar updated and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week, including many mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll also treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I am a selfless person, I like to make sure others are okay before I do. Therefore, I put the pets needs and wants to my center of my attention. I also love to get to know every dog out here! I currently work part time and take one class in person. Since I am mostly home alone, I can spend my time playing around with the dog and taking him/her out to walks at the beach or pretty neighborhoods I live by myself, therefore, my attention will only be on the pet. The space of my apartment shows me that I’ll know what the dog is doing at all times :)

“Excellent with my dogs. Showed genuine concern. Excellent communication. All the videos and pictures were amazing and made me feel better. My dogs seemed very happy with Jeff!”
