“Jaden is awesome! I couldn’t have been happier with the level of service and care they showed to my pup. My mind was at ease knowing my pup would be in good hands.”


“I’ve been so happy and grateful for the time and attention Davis has given our dog. She gets more exercise than we are able to provide during the day, and just seems generally less anxious. I don’t know why we took so long to take advantage of dog walking help. Considering adding more days just because it’s been so great for her.”


“Abigail is the best. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for help with their pet! You can tell how much she loves animals by how communicative, thorough, and responsive she is! She sends so many photos which is literally the best!!!!”



“Claire did a great job with our pup Layla. She was able to accommodate Layla’s needs and was able to give us lots of help on short notice. She clearly cares a lot about animals, something that shines through in her attention to detail. I would not hesitate to have Claire help with our dog again in the future.”


About: Hi, our names are Natalie and Rafay! We both have an extensive history of raising dogs, including our 114 pound, yet still our little baby, german shepherd, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. From extensive training, to medication, daily walks/hikes/adventures and play time, and feeding our pup human grade food which needed to be cooked on a daily basis, we know what it takes to love and care for a dog. We have been avid users of Rover for our fur baby, so we know how much trust, reliance and reassurance you will need & are willing to cater towards your needs. After our boy passed away, we realized how much more love we have to give to any and all dogs, and are willing to open our home up to yours. We welcome dogs of any age and size. We also live right by Alamo Square Park and have cars, so depending on what your dog is comfortable with and enjoys doing, we are open to catering toward their needs and wants. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions, we will always make ourselves available. Since we work in-person from Tuesday’s to Thursday’s, we are available to board or sit your fur baby from Friday’s to Monday’s. Our lives and schedules have always revolved around our dog, so we are willing to accommodate with the schedule your dog is used to, wants and needs. We currently live in a penthouse apartment with a sufficient amount of space and community dog parks, which will be open to your dog with whatever you are comfortable with. Sofas and beds are not off limits, but if that’s the way things operate in your home - no worries, we will mimic whatever you do for your dog. Our home is already dog-proof and we will have beds, toys and treats, but you are more than welcome to drop off your dog with their own. Whatever you are most comfortable with, we are willing to accommodate.

Western Addition dog parents share their Rover experiences
Annika has been wonderful with our dog! She took the time to come over and meet him beforehand, which really put us at ease. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. We always feel confident knowing our pup is in good hands with her. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for someone to take care of your dog look no further! This was my first time using Rover and Margot made the experience so great! She was kind, dependable, and treated my dog like her own. I really appreciated how responsible she was and how easy she made the whole process. I could relax knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for.

Our girl June always has the best time with Julia. June also is dog-reactive, and Julia helps her navigate the world with care in a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Whenever we come home from work after Julia has taken June out for a walk, our girl is in a playful and happy mood.
