About: My family adopted a small poodle mix who was part of our family for 9 years. I walked her, fed her, and helped with medication in her final years. I loved playing ball with her and training her. Additionally, I helped my mom bathe her. I'm currently looking for a full-time job, so I have more than enough time to check in on your pets and take them on a long walk. I believe that it's important to establish guidelines early on. I want to make sure that the pet needs are met, they are comfortable with me, and you as the owner can trust me to take care of them.

I gave impeccable care to my dogs for 15+ years, and will do the same for yours. I am a 25 year resident of San Mateo.

“Mara is marvelous :) She is reliable and never late. She truly loves dogs, in fact I think my dog might love her more lol ! Very much recommend her !”

“Dustin came over for a drop in visit today to take care of our rescue pup. Our pooch being a rescue and having a rough past has some behavioral issues and health complications. He isn’t the most friendly and takes time to warm up to people. Dustin was absolutely amazing . He followed every instruction to the tee . He was able to gain Tanner’s trust pretty easily , gave him a good walk and fed him as per the instructions. He also made it a point to send us plenty of pics which I very much appreciated . It put my mind at ease . We definitely recommend Dustin He is super easy to talk to , responsible, responsive and most importantly very reliable .”

About: Hi there! I'm Alice, a devoted dog lover and caretaker. With 20 years of life experience raising three wonderful pups in the past, dogs have always been an integral part of my life's journey. While my current pup is a cream-colored Frenchie (resides in China currently), I love all breeds and sizes. I started my Rovers journey (once called DogVacay) in my college years and reactivated again recently. since then I've had the pleasure of caring many personalities of dogs, including those with specials needs/wheelchair/senior. Currently located at Bay Area Peninsula, I've opened my doors to offer a loving sanctuary for your beloved fur babies. I am home full-time, your pup will receive round-the-clock attention and affection. 3 walks a day and potty breaks in between. Whether it's a game of fetch in the dog park or a relaxing walk along the trails, your furry kids will be in excellent hands with me. So, if you're seeking a nurturing and trustworthy caregiver who will treat your furry family member as one of their own, look no further! I will be constantly sending picture and videos to you so that you feel comfortable and updated. 🐾 note: must be outdoor potty-trained; no pet at home currently I’m at home full time, so I have the time and attention span to take good care of your pups! I would take three walks a day, dog park occasionally. I have a large house with no other pets or children. I can easily make an area for your dog as his/her own space. We have space for crate.

“Cat is awesome! She has cared for my little LeeLoo many times. I even left my dog with her for an entire month while I went to Europe! LeeLoo loves Cat and grabs her toys to play keepaway whenever she comes over. I appreciate all the pictures Cat sends me while away.”

About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

“May sent us pictures of our cat which we ended up looking forward to each visit. We appreciated that she wanted to meet our cat before her actual visits to get him familiarized with her. We would go back to May again and we highly recommend her. She is nice and a humble person that truly cares about her work.”

“Peter went above and beyond to look after our kittens. We are very grateful for his help and would happily recommend and work with him again.”

“Amanda took care of my cat Butters for 6 days. Each day I got a wonderful update on her wellness and wonderful pictures to match. I will most definitely have Amanda back to care for my cat.”

“Emmy went above and beyond to take care of our adult cat and our two foster kittens. She was extremely communicative, and took time to send detailed updates of all three cats and pictures of them playing. She kindly helped clean up after our two foster kittens when they had accidents in the first couple of days, and also looked after them after they got spayed and neutered. We came home to three very happy cats, so we can't recommend Emmy enough and will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”

“Adele has looked after our cats many times. She is an absolute animal lover, reliable and cares deeply. She would make sure your animals are well cared for.”

“Marci is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! Entrusting her with my senior dog for a lengthy 10-day period was the best decision I could have made. Not only did she provide exceptional care, but she also went above and beyond to ensure my pups comfort and happiness. Marci's compassionate demeanor instantly put my furry family at ease, alleviating any worries I had about leaving her behind. Her attention to detail was remarkable, from administering medication to maintaining Brownie's routines flawlessly. Throughout the entire experience, Marci remained communicative, updating me regularly with photos and messages, which truly eased my mind while I was away. I wholeheartedly recommend Marci to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter—she's simply outstanding!”
