“Repeat client here. Christina has gone above and beyond again for our kitty cat. We absolutely love the videos and pics. It's great to see our senior cat eating and getting pets. Christina is the best and deserves an award for outstanding pet sitting. Our cat is comfortable with her and is very well taken care of. A+++ 5star”

About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: • Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. • Panda: My energetic 4-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity • Constant Supervision: I work remotely, meaning someone is almost always home to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attention. • Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. • Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.

“Delaina was wonderful with our Cheese and I so appreciate her helping us out over the holidays! He is our baby and she treated him accordingly, loving him like we do and attending to his every need. Chinchillas are little divas and she was so good with him and gave us such peace of mind, thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Ming, a professional pet groomer with about five years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how important it is to create a calm, relaxing, and safe environment, especially for pets who may feel stressed or anxious when their humans are away. I’m confident handling energetic pups, seniors, and those who need extra patience and reassurance. I’ll make sure your pets feel as comfortable as they would at home. I’m also a dog mom to a four-year-old, high-energy Husky mix, so I truly understand daily routines, exercise needs, and the importance of both physical and mental stimulation for happy pups. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon, and on my days off I study for an online degree at home. This allows me to dedicate at least 5 hours a day to caring for my own dog and my Rover clients. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship. I can provide frequent potty breaks and several short walks if needed. Walks and play sessions are often the highlight of their day and I make sure each pup gets the activity levels based that suits their age, energy, and health. I keep potentially dangerous items (mainly human food and small objects) out of reach. I can also provide mini fun grooming sessions if needed. Dogs are usually walked twice a day, once in the early morning and once before sunset. Feeding is typically twice daily after walks, but I’m happy to adjust to your pup’s routine. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and frequent potty breaks, and I live next to a school field where dogs can enjoy peaceful walks without car traveling. I also occasionally take dogs to a nearby dog park for social exposure. During hot weather, pups can relax in an AC room with a comfy couch. Every dog is unique, and I’m always happy to customize care to meet your pup’s specific needs and routine. My partner, Vico, is currently in his veterinary clinical rotation and will be rejoining our family soon, adding even more animal-care experience and support. I walk the pups twice a day, one in early morning and another before the sun sets. Our feeding schedule is twice a day usually after the walk, but I'm flexible with any adjustments. I’m mostly home and my family can help take care of the pups when I work. I have a fenced yard that's big enough for the energetic pups to run around and provide frequent potty breaks if needed. I live right next to a school field where I can walk them without driving them around. We have a separate room with a nice couch and AC when the weather tends to get a little too hot during noon. I also bring the pups to a nearby dog park sometimes so they can have social exposures. Dogs that stays over a week gets a free bath upon request.

“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”

“Mary was an amazing sitter for my cat. Pepper is not easy, she is a little shy and is not friendly with strangers at all. However, Mary managed to win her over, and even got Pepper to ask for belly rubs! I was so happy and surprised that she got her to warm up. She sent me detailed reports and tons of photos everyday, which was great. I would 100% book Mary again and recommend her to other pet owners.”

“He did a great job of taking care of my social kitty when I was gone. He noticed when she just needed some tlc and gave her some. He also brought in my packages and communication was great.”

“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”

“Estefania did an amazing job watching our two elder cats!! They instantly warmed up to her! She was very reliable and provided great photos of our pets daily. If there were any questions, she asked and did a great job watching our house as well. We had a very bad wind storm that knocked over our basketball net onto one of our cars and she made sure it was lowered to the ground and no damage was done!! We were away for a month and she provided consistent care with wonderful communication.”

About: I have a 6-year-old petite female golden retriever (55lb) who is playful and friendly. I provide a safe and clean environment at home - my dog has allergy to dust mite so I vacuum everyday. I am a homemaker with one dog and no child. I have cared for my dog who's been through TPLO surgery in 2023 and MCT surgery in 2024 and have adequate pet care experience. For new client we always start with daycare, and then overnight boarding before any long-term boarding. We take one dog at a time. We've started Rover since Nov 2023 and we have hosted 18 dogs for a total of 173 days in the first year. One dog stayed for a cumulative 50 days over 4 separate visits, while another came 9 times, staying a total of 37 days in one year. Please take a minute to read all the information I provided below to see if our home fits your need. Especially "Information I would like to know about your pet" Thank you and we look forward to meeting you! In my role as a housewife with no kid and a dog as the only child, I have the privilege of having ample time to devote to my beloved ones. As a dedicated pet owner, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry companions, and I ensure that their needs are met consistently. I create a safe and comfortable environment for the dog I look after. I start by ensuring that my space is pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards, and providing designated areas for eating, drinking, and resting. I maintain a daily routine that includes feeding pets at specific times and taking them for regular walks and playtime. There is a fenced dog park in our neighborhood that I can bring the dogs to everyday. I provide plenty of love, attention, and cuddles to make them feel at home. I follow any special dietary requirements or medications as per the owner's instructions and ensure that fresh water is always available. Regular grooming and hygiene care are part of my routine.

“Meg is a true cat whisperer and we will hope to hire her for our next travels. We have a very reticent cat who quickly warmed up to her, it was surprising! We are grateful for her kind care and attention. Plus her photos were so appreciated as we saw their connection grow and his happiness shine through,”
