“Son took amazing care of my dog. He is very detail oriented, conscientious, and a wonderful communicator. I would highly recommend him if you are ever in need of care for your animal!”

Julianne P.

“Elizabeth was absolutely lovely! We had a wonderful meet and greet, Carly took to her immediately and she doesn't do that with everyone. Elizabeth checked in and sent photos. When I got home it was clear that she had taken wonderful care of my pup. I will absolutely have her again.”

About: I’ve always had a lot of love for pets! And I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate things I like doing to my daily routine so why not take this opportunity to take care of a bunch of fur babies! Unfortunately I do not do meet and greets but I do send pictures of my yard and house so you can see where your fur babies will be staying and do calls before drop offs! I work from home and the rest of my day is pretty empty so I thought this would be a perfect distraction and a great second part time job for me! The dogs will be allowed to be inside or outside as well. I do have a big backyard for them to run around and play with fences of course for their safety!

“I have been very happy with Isabel since day 1. She was willing to have a meet and greet, and my skittish new rescue took to her right away. She’s been kind and patient with him, I so appreciate her carrying him out of the building as the lobby and traffic scare him. I can tell he feels comfortable around her and I know she is observant of his comfort level out on their walks. Isabel communicates well and is very professional. I’m glad we found her!”

About: My spouse and I are proud parents to three Golden Retrievers—Mango (13), Goldie (8), and Lychee (7). We love taking them out on adventures and watching them explore! With over 10 years of experience living with multiple dogs, we know just how to keep pups happy and comfortable. Our home also has a fenced backyard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors anytime. I am an Assistant Professor in Kinesiology and work half time at home, and my spouse work in IT who works from home from time to time. We enjoy outdoor times, especially walking the puppies! Our time is very flexible and mainly at home to work and walk the dogs! We have a crated area for the three furry goldens, with plenty of toys and they will enjoy time playing together. Your dog will be taken out regularly for a walk, there is a trail right outside our house.

“Maria’s love for dogs is undeniable! I am grateful for her dedication to my dog and overall professionalism - always punctual, communicative, and prioritising my dog’s wellbeing. My dog warmed up to her very quickly the first time they met and I am finally confident in leaving him alone with a walker. We look forward to having Maria as a regular walker for him.”

About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.

About: Saturday has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, and many more different types of animals! I love taking dogs on walks and runs and playing with cats. I have experience with all types of personalities (loving, aggressive, shy, etc.) and can read animal behavior very well. I also have some experience teaching dogs tricks! I am a recent graduate with a B.S. in Biology and am looking to get more experience working with animals! That being said, I currently have a very flexible and open schedule. I am available mostly during the week days but can do weekends as well. I currently do not have a pet but previously, I would walk my dog once or twice a day and play with her often. When I have lived with cats, I would play with them using stringed cat toys. I believe that all animals should get some form of attention everyday to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. With all animals I typically feed them once in the morning and once at night.

“Amazing with Meelo! Responsive, timely, and great with my dog.”

About: I am an animal lover at heart who always puts animals first because they are not just pets, they’re family! Growing up, I always had multiple pets at a time, and I continue to keep a full house today. My firsthand experience spans dogs, cats, fish, birds, and bunnies of all shapes and sizes. Because I currently own both small and large animals, I am highly comfortable and confident handling pets of any size. When it comes to walking your dogs, my goal is to give them the absolute best time! I tailor every walk to their energy level. Whether they prefer an energetic run, a brisk stroll to explore new smells, or a gentle pace, I make sure their outdoor time is safe, engaging, and packed with love. Over a lifetime of pet ownership, I have cared for several animals with chronic health issues. This has made me very comfortable managing, handling, and safely administering medications to pets who need them. Additionally, my extensive history with animals means I am patient and well-equipped to support senior dogs, helping them get around, stay comfortable, and manage their daily routines. I look forward to giving your family members the dedicated, specialized care they deserve! My schedule is completely open for walks and pet sitting! Since I go to school online, I have plenty of flexibility to cater to different routines and time schedules throughout the week. I absolutely love early morning requests and I’m highly flexible on weekends and holidays, so I can be there whenever your pets need me most. Whether walking or sitting dogs and cats, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, happy environment. For walks, I always keep pets on secure leashes and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During home visits or sitting, I make sure cats and dogs receive plenty of individual attention, play, proper feeding, and medication if needed, while strictly following all of your specific household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with endless patience, love, and safety as my top priorities.

“Having Ana look after our dogs gave us peace of mind on our vacation. She was reliable and our dogs took to her immediately. Will definitely seek out her services for our next trip.”

“Kryssel is the best! She is very responsive to messages and I enjoy reading the report cards she writes for Marley as well as the pictures during their walks (: definitely book her!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. From taking care of family pets, aiding in neighboring furry friends needs and fostering those looking for homes I have grown quite familiar with what it takes to deliver excellent pet care. I’m currently working part time, without a set schedule. I would be completely available on my days off and in my free time before and after work. I love playing with animals and giving them lots of love. Your pet would never feel alone in my care and I will be sure to give them my 100% attention and priority when in their presence.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life since a baby. I love animals more than anything and will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m a stay/work from home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I can care for your pet while you’re at work or not at home. I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day. I live in a fairly large townhouse with a small back porch so there is enough room for a dog or cat to stretch out and relax

About: Hi! I'm Akansha. Thanks for considering me to take care of your fur baby. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have been taking care of pets for last couple of years. I love getting to know each individual dog and I love to know their quirks! I work from home so I do have a lot of time to spend with your fur babies and would love to keep them company. I live in a great neighborhood away from busy streets. While we don't have our own pet at the moment but we would love to pamper yours!

About: I've had Lucky, a small Chihuahua, for 14+ years. I've helped taken care of Benji (3yo Pomeranian) since he was 6 months old, Tommy (5+yo Pom / Chihuahua mix) since 2016, and Dexter (In Training Service Dog) for the past 2 years. My family has relied on me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets for many years. I am also a proud cat owner of three beautiful babies; a rescued tabby named Maebury, a white long-haired domestic named Beatraux, and an elderly tabby named Meeko! With my own pets, pet care is a daily routine of playtime, feeding time (two times per day) and clean up with my cats. I take family dog walks daily. My house unfortunately is not very fit for home services, but I can easily provide walking amenities for flexible dog walking and temporary cat sitting.

About: Long time animal mom, I work comfortably with all animals. I’ve personally owned 135 pound boxer down to 10 pound bossy chihuahua. I’ve always animal sit and handle dog walks for friends and family, so I thought it was time to set up a rover account. I am a former childcare provider that cared for 8 children while having 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 chickens and a bearded dragon. My pets thought they were daycare children and I worked with the children to treat my animals with the love and respect they deserve. My dogs have taught toddlers to walk, and learned to tell on them if they were hit. I’m a wife, and mother to two high schoolers. Currently have an 85 pound boxer boy and 10 pound chihuahua with 3 cats and 1 bearded dragon. I’ve owned multiple dogs my entire life, but the last 25 years I’ve always kept at least 2 dogs and 3 cats at all times. I’ve cared for kidney failure with cats, and dogs in failing health due to age, along with blindness. Before becoming a childcare provider, I worked as a Vet assistant for 3 years, so I took in valuable information during that time that my animals and family animals have benefited from. I’m currently staying home after working full time away from home for the last 5 years. After closing my daycare, I obtained my BA in Psychology and jumped right into working as a Project Engineer in construction. While it was fulfilling, my children required a more flexible schedule for tennis matches and mornings with me. I am able to house sit, my children are fine with me being away for a week or so in the morning, but the continual mornings for 5 years was too much after having access to me 24/7 their entire childhood. I have family support for them, so that frees up my schedule, so I flexible to care for animals at different times day and night. I own a home with a fenced in yard with grass and room to play. I utilize additional temporary fences for added protection for smaller dogs. Inside we utilize baby gates because our young cats have decided that our boxer isn’t their friend, so they take up the bedroom side of the house, avoiding him and that makes their life easier. I also utilize my parents fenced in yard that is 15 minutes away for long stretches of grass to run and play. Their yard is massive and great for pups that need to get out a little extra energy. I am all about the extra caution when it comes to my own babies and yours.
