“Sejla is AMAZING!! I feel so lucky that I found her on Rover! My six year old boxer, and my two cats all loved her, she was polite, professional, responsive, and I could tell truly cared about my animals feeling loved and comfortable in my absence! I have already booked her for all my trips this year, and if I could give her more than five stars, I would!!”
“Bri was fantastic! Our pup Tater Tot got sick and Bri did a great job supporting him, ensuring we had all the details in case we needed to relay them to the vet, cleaning up after his tummy issues and more. Would absolutely recommend”
“Malia was wonderful with my pets! I was so happy to come home to happy, relaxed animals. It’s clear that Malia has a genuine love for pets. My two chihuahuas and cat seemed to really warm up to her. She's clearly responsible and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving my little critters in her hands.”
“Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have grown up with pets my whole life! I currently have a pug mix and an orange cat of my own. I have experience with senior and puppy care. I would love to provide care for your furry friends including walking, sitting, and drop in visits for feeding and play! I currently work part time as a nanny and caregiver, and would love to add pet care into my schedule. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and only work about 4 hours a day, so I am reliable and available for all of your pet related needs! I am incredibly protective of my animals and intend to treat yours like my own. I am attentive and prioritize safety when caring for pets and will make sure yours are always in safe hands.
“Wonderful job with my dog. Quang walked him in a park, shared pictures, and was super responsive. He was also very attentive to everything I had to say about my dog’s needs and concerns beforehand.”
“Sophia is amazing ! Highly recommend her. Our dog sitter didn't show up for the stay without any communication. We contacted her multiple times, and she didn't even bother to respond. We were supposed to go on a road trip and it was now delayed till we could find a new sitter. That's when Sophia came to the rescue. She immediately responded to our request, was at our home within 20 minutes to do a meet and greet and then immediately took over the stay. Thanks to her, we could continue with our original stay. She took great care of our dogs and house while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos/videos. She communicated clearly on when she would be leaving the house and coming back. In general, she is a warm and nice human being. We were really touched by the little things she did like sending a warm goodbye message to my kids and parents (whom she had met during the meet and greet), candies she left for our kids and the affection she showed towards our dogs.”
“This was the first time we used Rover to pet sit our senior pup, Verbena, so we were slightly nervous (me more than my partner). We can't say enough good things about Kristina. She communicated and sent updates/pictures very often, making the experience so much easier for us. Kristina took excellent care of Verbena and catered to all her quirks (she's an old lady). She also took care of the house. There is no doubt we will be using Kristina in the future.”
About: I have spent the last 9 years caring for my senior chihuahua mix, Zoë. She was 15 years old, so I have experience with administering medication, timed feedings, and other senior related care. I know what it's like to be preoccupied with your pup's/pups' well-being, and am happy to send photos and videos. I was recently laid off, so I am available most days and times. My only caveats are October 9th-14th (brother's wedding), and evenings where there are SJ Sharks games. I keep a close eye on pups in my care. They aren't left alone unless the situation necessitates that - e.g. taking dogs to the groomers or there is an emergency. If a pup is crate trained, I always make sure to take off their collars beforehand, and always watch while they eat/drink to make sure they don't choke or bloat. Safety gates are a must when stairs and pools are a factor.
“Kathy is amazing! She was so professional and took great care of my 3 babies! It’s nice to go out of town and feel completely at peace with who is in your home watching your fur babies.”
“Our pups were so happy under Deborah’s care. They were spoiled by the walks and all the love. Deborah is a kind and caring person and it showed with how our dogs (and kids!) responded to her. She was super communicative and sent pics and updates. She gifted us with flowers as well and it was such a treat. We highly recommend Deborah!”
“From the moment we met Deborah during the meet and greet, she expressed such affection and joy with Doug. During the housesitting, she sent daily updates and photos and provided Doug with loving care, exercise, and routines. We will definitely be asking Deborah to sit for us again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with Patricia. She took good care of our two dogs, sent pictures and was great at communicating with us. I would recommend Patricia and will use her again!”
“Aytaj was very responsive and provided updates while caring for our cat. I felt that it was really easy to get in touch with her, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great that she was able to meet up quickly before we booked her, making the process smooth and fast. I appreciated knowing how things were going and I didn't feel worried at all when she was here. Thank you, Aytaj!”
“Rose is the absolute best! Our animals are challenging but she took the greatest care of them. And she left our house in perfect condition with the plants watered and happy. Thank you Rose!”
About: With over 30 years of pet experience, I’ll make fast friends with your little ones! I’ve had 15 of my own over the years, both cats and dogs. In addition, I’ve often been called on as sitter and caretaker for friends and family, both in their homes and my own. While I work full-time, I work remotely and my schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me ability to travel, run errands, attend to life, and take care of things as needed. My ability to work from anywhere means that I’m often taking meetings and writing emails in different locations day to day…and there have been many instances where I’ve been pet-sitting or housesitting and working remotely from there. My first priority is of course always the safety and happiness of your family members and companions, but a close second is the care and cleanliness of your space and your home! I learned early in my life to always leave a space cleaner than you found it, and cleanliness, your preferences, handling things your way, and privacy are always in the front of my mind!
“Brooke was great! She took great care of our pup Lucie while we were gone for a week, and she left the house super duper clean!😊 I got pictures and updates throughout the week and will definitely use her for future sits.”
About: I have 20 years of family pet care experience, deeply rooted in providing daily, personalized care to a variety of family pets. From feeding routines to grooming and creating a nurturing home environment, I’ve handled each aspect with dedication. My experience includes monitoring health and behavior, recognizing early signs of issues, and administering basic first aid or medications when necessary. I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal needs, ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for, which has strengthened my skills in attentive, compassionate animal care and their wellbeing. Their lives are just as valuable. I am currently working a part-time job in retail, which makes my schedule very flexible and easy to manage. I always do my best to move things around to make more space and time for my clients and their pets if our schedules do not align right away. I care for another person’s pet with the same level of dedication and compassion I would for my own. When in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comforting environment for the pet, following their usual routines to minimize stress. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific care instructions provided, ensuring continuity of care and familiarity. I’m mindful of maintaining cleanliness and respect for the home, and I always keep an eye out for any signs of discomfort or health concerns, addressing them promptly. My goal is to provide peace of mind, knowing their pet is in capable, loving hands.

Lilly M.
“I’ve known Lilly for almost six years, and during that time, I’ve also had the pleasure of living with her. She is truly the most animal-loving person I’ve ever met. Not only is she responsible, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure that any pets in her care are safe, comfortable, and well-loved. Whenever she visits me, she immediately greets my dogs and takes the time to make sure they feel comfortable before showing them affection. Her trustworthiness and warm, outgoing personality make her easy to connect with, for both pets and their owners. Lilly would be a fantastic addition to the Rover team!”

Naomi C.
“We entrusted our energetic pup, Angus, with Naomi for a weekend, and boy did he have a great time! He's a little velcro boy, so we were nervous leaving him overnight for the first time since he was a puppy. He snuggled right in with her and was almost upset to see us home, since he was having a wonderful stay with her. She was very attentive, gave him lots of belly rubs and treats, and gave him all the love he was missing from us! She perfectly followed the list we provided her, with all of his special needs with going potty and his reactive-ness to other dogs. We felt very secure with her taking care of him and we will definitely have her watch him again!”

John O.
“John has looked after my dog Viggo on many occasions, and Viggo always returns a happy and healthy pup. As a Husky, Viggo is about as high maintenance as it gets, but that has never been a problem for John. And whenever Viggo sees John, his tail spins fast enough that I fear he might take flight. I highly recommend him!”

Almaden Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rose did so much amazing job with our girl Frankie! She went above and beyond with the love and affection she gave and sent us lots of updates and pictures. They became best friends and know Frankie was sad to say goodbye. We’d book with Rose again in a heartbeat (and plan on it!).
Becky was amazing - she was prompt (and even ahead of time), bonded with our pup Yogi quickly, even though he was being a little jumpey and loud. She was very mindful of not disturbing his sleep and also sent cute pictures and updates along the way. She also played a little with him and fed him on time and was an awesome companion!
Sophia is amazing ! Highly recommend her. Our dog sitter didn't show up for the stay without any communication. We contacted her multiple times, and she didn't even bother to respond. We were supposed to go on a road trip and it was now delayed till we could find a new sitter. That's when Sophia came to the rescue.

Jed is a dynamo and a really great person. I can tell because both Luci and Blue Berry love being around him. I have no concerns about the dogs or the home when I'm away as I know they're all in good hands. I'm so glad to have found him on Rover. Thank you Jed and Rover.
Phoenix is very friendly and loving to my dog Finley. She did a great job caring Finley while we were away for a long weekend. If you need a person to walk or sit with your pet, I highly recommend Phoenix. As a plus, Phoenix washed the bedding and towels and remade the bed.
Deborah was the best ever. She kept me informed and sent me pictures everyday. She left the house beautiful and the girls all tuckered out from a walk when we got home. I would highly recommend Deborah and will definitely use her again thank you for giving my girls so much love.
5 STAR ⭐️ Jasmin and her pup Thor took the best care of my deaf bulldog, Mouse while I was out of town for 3 nights. I was so worried when I saw that there would be extreme heat during my time away but when I reached out to Jasmin she asked great questions and listened carefully to how I usually handle hot weather to keep Mouse safe and comfortable. Jasmin provided great updates and pictures/video that made me feel able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Jasmin carefully followed Mouse’s complicated feeding and medication needs. I feel Lucky to have met Jasmin, she even provided some training for Mouse and I on a behavioral issue he was having.
Having Alexis taking care of our precious Ashes has been amazing to say the least. She’s been very caring, attentive, communicative, and always paid attention to details about Ashes behavior. We received daily photos from her and a small summary of the day that help to have peace of mind and know Ashes was well taken care of. We’re very glad we hired her and we will definitely consider her in future dog sitting opportunities.
