“G’La was amazing! She took such great care of Tuna and Finn while we were away for two nights and two and a half days. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and clearly loves animals — Tuna and Finn were so calm and happy when we got back. Couldn’t recommend her more. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Kerri was such a caring, communicative house and dog sitter. She was unfazed by Tibbie’s quirks and seemed to love him for him. Our house was tidy and taken care of when we arrived back home after a long weekend. Thanks so much Kerri!”
“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”
“Korin was amazing as usual. She took great care of our pup while we were away and shared regular updates/photos. Louie loved playing with her and was clearly tired and happy when we got home. Thanks, Korin!”
“Cathy was able to take care of Milo on such short notice. An actual lifesaver! Milo loves her and we trust her. 1000% would recommend Cathy to anyone looking for dog walking or house-sitting services.”
“Excellent service. Dane has great communication. He updates me everytime he comes and check on the pups. He takes cute pictures of them and spent time with each one, make sure they get all the attention they need. One of my dogs is reactive and difficult to handle, while most people turn him away, Dane makes sure he gets the care that he needs. I’m for sure will be a returning customer.”
“Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.”
About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
“Vivian was very sweet and Javi was very relaxed with her. He can be a pretty high stress dog when we are away but he seemed to have really enjoyed his time relaxing with Vivian. Thank you!”
“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“She followed through on our agreed upon care plan.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from childhood companions to the many pups I’ve had as an adult, including Shiba Inus, Labs, and a Goldendoodle. I also have experience pet sitting from my college days and love animals of all kinds. Whether your dog prefers hiking trails or lounging at home, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’m reliable, grounded, and kind-hearted, with a strong attention to detail, I’m comfortable following specific feeding routines, administering medications, and respecting whatever schedule your pet is used to. I’m genuinely excited to care for your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or hang out with your kitties and give them the attention they deserve. Let me know about any special needs or preferences your pet has, including toys, walking or play styles. I'm happy to accommodate them on my visits. I provide a calm, caring environment and pay close attention to every detail, from feeding routines and medication schedules to subtle changes in behavior, so your pet feels secure and understood. I'm reliable, grounded, and deeply respectful of the trust you place in me, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.
“Took such good care of my little ones and sent wonderful updates. Thank you so much!”
“Nicole went beyond our hopes! Nicole regularly sent pictures and updates. We could see how happy our guy was. When we came home be was relaxed and not at all stressed from us being away (as he had been after other sitters). Nicole followed all instructions to care for our guy was is a little high maintenance due to back trouble. Nicole discovered his favorite games and even gave him a nice brushing at the end of their time together. We were so pleased and would love to have Nicole come back!”
“Jesika and Jyhikeen sat for our 3 rambunctious cats for 10 days, and were wonderful! Great, caring communication, daily photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'd absolutely hire them again.”

“Daria was a great dog/house sitter, even with a last-minute booking and a sick dog. She watched our dog for over a week and even did an unexpected vet visit when she wasn’t feeling well and needed extra tests and adjustment in her medications. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands!”
About: One of my first memories is of adopting a stray that we named Chiqule (Gum, in Spanish) because he decided to stick around. Ever since then I’ve picked up many of our four legged friends and made them family dogs. Many years since having my own pet, my love for our furry friends has yet to dwindle and I continue to pet-sit and house-sit just for the opportunity to hang in with a little fur ball. I have experience with a small senior dogs and dogs who have required medication, 3+ walks a day, or an extensive park visit. I’ve house-sat and makes sure to build my schedule around my four-legged, temporary bestie to ensure a stress-free time. I like to establish constant communication and updates with the pet-parent to make sure all is well. I regard play time highly but makes sure to only ruff-house and much as per-parent sees fit. Cuddles are optional but recommended. I my work hours are 8:30-5 but travel form Berkeley to Hayward so I can pop in within that 15 mile radius! My weekends are a lot more flexible. I make sure to follow a requested guideline and/or care checklist from pet-parents. I make sure to scope out the potential yard for any hazards and establish some trust with pets before going out on our first walk. If treats are allowed or provided, I will reward my furry friend when I see best on our initial walks to establish trust and respect. Play-time is important and can also be carried out as the pet-parent sees fit.
“Eva did a great job on short notice. She took care of my cat and was flexible. My cat seemed to be happy with the experience adjusted to her well. I trusted her in a nice apartment with expensive objects around and I believe you can do the same. I think that she has a bright future ahead of her and I would recommend her for visiting or staying the night with your pet. Id use her services again when Im on a trip.”
“Diana arrived early which ended up being a blessing as we got ready to go! She did an incredible job as our dog was a bit standoffish at first. Diana quickly built a strong and trusting relationship with our pup and was very patient! Would definitely love to connect her with our dog again!”

They helped me raise a whole litter of 6 kittens from their birth to them being several months old, caring for them and re-homing all of them.

Woodland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alison is absolutely wonderful! She took such loving care of our two dogs, and we could tell they were happy and comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and trustworthy. We came home to happy pups. I live in the San Diego area and I am sad that Alison doesn’t live closer to us, but will definitely ask her to sit for our pups next time we’re in San Francisco! We would recommend Alison to anyone looking for a caring sitter—she’s the best!”
Kerri is great! Professional, caring, attentive and genuine in her love of fur babies. 🐶❤️ I really appreciate how consistent she is with communication before, during and after her stay.
Juliana did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. They got lots of walks and when she sent pictures, which she did a lot, they were smiling and looking so happy. She was also willing to stay at our house. She's a great communicator. She let us know how things were going during each day. I highly recommend her.
Daria was a great dog/house sitter, even with a last-minute booking and a sick dog.

Great job Kino was happy to see me and immediately wanted to play ball. Also thanks for leaving the house cleaner than when you came Great job sitting and staying overnite with him Mike K
Molly was great with Enzo! She took wonderful care of him and kept me informed with notes and pictures throughout her stay. She also took really good care of my house and left it very neat and tidy. I hope to have Molly stay again and I would highly recommend her.
Another great pet sitting from Anais! My dog and cat were very well taken care of and loved spending time with her!
Aisha is an amazing dog sitter, she’s very responsive, kind and competent when it comes to watching our two dogs. We have one dog who requires a higher level of care and I felt confident leaving him in Aisha’s care for the weekend. I will continue to use Aisha as a reliable dog sitter.
Nina was wonderful! Very good with our pets including a very young bottle fed kitten, a senior dog, and our sassy high energy bulldog. Highly recommend!!
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Leo took amazing care of my 12-year old dog Jasper while I was away and made sure he was comfortable and well loved the entire time. It was such a relief to receive daily photo updates—some were adorable, and others were downright hilarious! It was clear Jasper was in great hands and enjoying himself. On top of that, he went above and beyond by tidying up around the house. Everything was neat and clean when I got home, and I could tell he had even vacuumed. It was such a thoughtful touch to return to a clean space after traveling. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with my dog again!
Thorough and very attentive, I’ve used him multiple times and everything was top notch. Would use him again. Respectful, clean, punctual and flexible.
Nia came through and saved the day! I couldn't have picked a better sitter for my boys. On top of being super responsive and accepting a relatively last minute booking, she also was very personable and kind. I was so thankful that despite not feeling 100%, she still watched my dogs. I think I can speak for Zeke and Smush in saying we are all happy to only book with Nia moving forward. She’s the best!
We’ve been so lucky to work Melina a handful of times now - our pup, Freckles, and all our kitties love her so much! It’s so wonderful to be able to leave the critters at home, knowing that they’re being loved and cared for just like you would! Freckles was on antibiotics this time around and is permanently on daily medication, Melina took on the task of making sure he ate his pills (so much cream cheese) and wasn’t scared away! Which is always wonderful!! Thank you as always, Melina!!!
Regina was wonderful!! We appreciated all the love and care she took sitting our three doggies, she gave updates, walks and sent photos and checked in regularly (at my request). I came home to happy pets. Definitely recommend her.
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing. She was super flexible when my travel plans changed, sent daily updates with pictures, handled both of my high-energy dogs incredibly well, and showed great care and respect in my home. My dogs were challenging and she rose to the occasion and handled every issue with professionalism and graciousness. I was unsure about using Rover but Ashlyn went above and beyond to take care of my dogs and keep me informed while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Alyssa has helped us twice now with our senior French Bulldog. Our dog needs 2 medications daily and has some special dietary needs and Alyssa has handled it all with great care and professionalism. But the best review is from our sweet pup who was excited to see Alyssa again when she returned. That was truly the vote that mattered. We travel a lot and finding care for our dog is our highest priority. Alyssa has been a wonderful find.
As always, Diana is such a great house sitter. Besides treating our animals with such love and care, when we arrived home, our house was spotless. Thank you again, Diana.
Sarah is amazing! She looked after our 2 kitties for almost a week and was perfect. Very regular schedule, followed our feeding instructions exactly, and stuck around to play and cuddle with them. Also kept us updated throughout the day and was in constant contact. We felt safe and confident to leave knowing that our beloved cat friends were in such good hands.
