About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.
“Yamzel took great care of my cat while I was away👍She sent detailed daily updates and photos every day, which really helped me feel relaxed and worry-free during my trip. My cat is super shy and usually hides from new people, but Yamzel still managed to find him and send me cute pictures and updates. She also thoughtfully kept an eye on her food and supplies, which I really appreciated. I felt really reassured knowing my cat was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Yamzel again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter 😊”
“Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!”
“Our experience with Rong was terrific! She cared for our cats for a couple days while we were away. She was prompt, thorough, and communicative. One day it looked like the cats got into a tiff and there was hair tufts all over the hallway. She let us know, sent photos and cleaned up after them. We appreciated her care for our cats and home, as well as the updates and pics that she provided. Thanks so much Rong! We’ll be in touch again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in high school. A lot of my neighbors have asked me to take care of their dogs while being out on long vacations. Most visits did not include overnight stays, but I would show up in the morning to take them for a walk and to play, come back around noon to play with them again and stay for about an hour or two, come back around dinner to make sure they were fed and walked again and stay a little longer so that the dogs were not alone when it would get darker. Especially during thunder storms! I currently have a full time job that I work at 5 days a week. However with my job I have a lot of availability to work remote so if there were any circumstances where you would need me to stay all day at your house to watch your dog I would be available to do so as long as I have a wifi connection :). I had moved from New Jersey to California, so as you can imagine I miss my family dogs everyday so I have a lot of love to give to other dogs. I live in an apartment so I will unfortunately not be able to have dogs here, however, I am willing to travel multiple times a day to the owners house to play, feed, walk and even go to parks to keep them fresh and active.
About: I am currently offering daily walks only. Your pup will enjoy a long walk on your requested route or my choice. I enjoy taking dogs to the park, hikes and walks around the lakes. There are many options on the Pennisula and I like to switch up the scenery daily. Not all dogs can be walked at 11am - 1pm, for a higher rate of acceptance please choose a larger ranger. I try to keep my prices low, I know what a stress it is to worry about your pup and the last thing you need is to not schedule a walk due the cost. I am also open to suggestions and will always refill the water bowl and give your pup lots of kisses and love before the end of my visit. I appreciate all reviews, please message me directly if you have any additional questions.
About: My home is your pet’s home 🫶🏻 Safe and trusted environment 💛 I have been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. As a dedicated dog and cat owner myself, I understand that your pet is family. I am a very active person who loves long walks, so I can ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I’m also highly organized and comfortable following specific feeding or medication schedules to keep your pup's routine consistent. I currently work in healthcare administration during the week, which means my weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care! I am available for full-time boarding and house sitting from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I am a student and work a consistent schedule, I am very reliable and punctual with my check-ins and walk times. Your pup will have my full attention during their stay! I live in a pet-friendly environment in San Mateo where your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, making my home a great 'social' spot for your pup. I am very comfortable with 'Meet & Greets' to ensure everyone gets along. I maintain a clean, safe space and am happy to accommodate crate training or any specific home boundaries you have in place.
“Xilin and Xiang were amazing and took such great care of Nono while also keeping our home clean and tidy. We really appreciated them and felt so lucky to have their help during our two week vacation!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.
About: I have years of experience pet sitting, as well as fostering animals from two separate rescue organizations for months at a time. I am the proud owner of a twelve year old Siberian cat named Annabelle and a twelve year old Labradoodle dog named Topaz. I have pet sit for multiple repeat clients, ranging from neighbors to family friends, all of which were satisfied with my thoroughness, responsibility, and attentiveness. As a fierce animal enthusiast, I am dedicated to making your pet(s) feel loved, understood, and cared for while you are away. I am also willing to do odd jobs around the house such as watering house plants, if needed. I am currently flexible and available all days of the week, but the times I am available vary depending on the day. For safety reasons, I prefer to visit during the day (with the exception of overnight stays.) I am happy to feed, exercise, and play with your pet(s). I will take care to keep your house safe and secure, including locking doors and managing alarm systems. I will immediately notify you of anything out of the ordinary and be sure to always keep an eye on your pet(s).
“Katherine was wonderful! Sadly because of my Bruno’s health issues, he has become a full time indoor pup. With that being said, he’s usually nervous around strangers since he doesn’t get to really socialize with the outside world. As soon as Katherine walked in to our home during our meet and greet, Bruno felt comfortable to warm up to Katherine right away! She kept me up to date and sent lots of pics while I was away over the holiday weekend! I look forward to her rebooking with her the next time I’m away.”
“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every dog. I have experience caring for my own dogs and also dogs belonging to my neighbors, adapting to different routines, personalities, and needs while always providing a safe, calm, and loving environment Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work for a few hours early in the morning, I am busy during the afternoon starting from 1 pm, and in the evening I am free again. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time, attention, and care to pets I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, and I give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed at all times
“Emmy has taken care of our dog & cat while we’ve been out of town for years now. We never worry about our pets while we’re away because we know they’re in such good care with Emmy!”
“Amazing!! Will be using her again. She not only was able to stop by in an emergency but she has also been great with my older dog. Great person and would recommend her to walk my friends dogs.”
About: I've spent 13 years raising two rescues, including my six-breed mutt Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience — she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I'm currently working project-based contract work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm a copywriter, so I'll see your requests for care ASAP! I'm available M-T, F 9-12. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, never leave dogs unattended outside, and send photo updates so you know they're safe and happy. In my home, dogs are treated like family: supervised at all times, given a calm space to decompress, and introduced slowly to my own two rescues only if they're a good fit. Safety, comfort, and clear communication come first, always.
“Amanda is great! She provides up to date information and really knows how to take care of our little pup. We felt comforted knowing our little Riley was in great hands. Would definitely rebook her again!”
Western Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Five stars for Aik — couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Communication was easy and prompt throughout, and the updates and photos gave me real peace of mind. Aik is genuinely warm and pleasant to work with, and it was clear our cat was in caring hands the whole time. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
This was my second booking with Shujing, and once again she did an excellent job caring for my cat, Mia. She took great care of Mia and kept the house spotless throughout her stay. It’s clear that Mia really likes Shujing and enjoys spending time with her. I feel completely at ease knowing Mia is in such good hands, and I’m very grateful to have Shujing as a cat sitter. Highly recommended!
Xilin and Xiang were truly exceptional pet sitters. They took wonderful care of my senior cats and gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. They were attentive, responsible, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, with regular updates that made it clear my cats were in caring hands.
Milena is a natural when it comes to taking care of cats! She’s excellent at reading cat body language and is very patient and gentle. My cat, Pebble, takes medication and she can be difficult to medicate. Milena is extremely patient with her and always makes sure she gets her meds. I highly recommend her!
Jasmine took amazing care of our four cats while we were away. All four of them are very shy and sensitive around new people, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving them. But Jasmine’s calm, gentle, and patient energy really helped them feel safe and comfortable. Jasmine was also extremely detail oriented and followed all of our instructions carefully, which meant so much to us because our cats each have their own little routines and needs. We also needed to add one extra visit at the last minute on our final day, and Jasmine was very flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. She also sent wonderful updates and took such sweet photos of them. The photos really helped us feel close to home while we were away. We are so grateful for the care she gave our little crew, and we would absolutely book Jasmine again.
Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Kendra has been most wonderful to me and koda! She has been doing my walks and drop ins while we were away for traveling! Koda got himself into some trouble and Kendra was fast to respond and cleaned up his mess and gave me updates at every drop ins! Kendra is amazing, I really can’t recommend her enough for her care!
Alfie was in great hands again! This was Heleen's second time doing daily check-ins for him and it gave me such peace of mind while I was away for a week. She is always reliable, communicative and clearly cares about animals and making sure they're comfortable, fed and loved on. I really appreciated the updates and knowing someone trustworthy was checking in on our little needy guy. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable cat sitter.
Debbie is very responsible and professional. She is attentive and loving toward our 10 year old golden retriever, Jack. Jack was always happy to see her and seemed to enjoy her company. Debbie followed directions as to feeding and walking him and was alert to how he was feeling. We would definitely use her again and definitely recommend her.
