“Zola is awesome! Super communicative and the dogs seem to love her. She was super flexible in adding an extra day for walks at the last minute. So glad that she’ll be walking my dogs regularly.”
“Nubia and Maria have been taking care of my senior dog for a year now, and all I can say is they are heaven sent! They are practically co-parents when it comes to my dog. I can tell they love my dog like their own and truly care for his welfare. As for visits/walks, Nubia and Maria are very flexible and accommodating with my often crazy work schedule. Don't stop doing what you're doing, ladies!”
“I needed a last-minute dog walker for the week and Javante was so kind to help out! We weren’t able to meet beforehand, but he was very communicative and reached out with questions. Birdie seemed to love him as well! I appreciate his help and care for her so much.”
About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.

Whether it's a walk around the block, a cozy drop-in, or extended sitting, we bring patience, energy, and care to every visit. We work opposite schedules, so if you choose to board with us, your pet will never be left alone for more than 5 hours at a time. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we'll treat your dog like one of my own. Can't wait to meet your furry best friend!

About: I have cared for pets since childhood, bringing over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Cats & Medication: Mom to 2 cats and known among friends as a "cat whisperer." Skilled in reading feline cues and administering medication gently and reliably. Dogs of All Sizes: Extensive experience raising and handling everything from energetic Jack Russells, Chihuahuas, and Pomeranians to strong breeds like Dobermans. Safety First: Dependable, attentive care with consistent photo updates so you always have peace of mind while away. I have a flexible full time job where I work occasionally in Santa Clara or from home in downtown San Jose. I have access to a car. I can provide regular updates via photo and text and make sure I have a clear understanding of how best to take care of your furry loved ones.
About: Proud companion of Bruno, my 6 year old black lab! Love going on walks, playing fetch, hikes, or whatever gets your dog physically active while you’re away! I have a super flexible schedule during the week, so I’m able to fit in where needed. I’m completely free on Mondays and Fridays for recurring walks and visits. I enjoy being able to be active with our furry friends. I’m aware of my surroundings, safe, and will take great care of the pups while making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need.
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
“Sydney is a very nice young lady and makes an effort to understand what your needs are and your pet’s needs too. My boy doggo sniffed her and liked her immediately. They went on a walk and he came back so happy. I appreciated the wonderful walk they had and Sydney’s care for my precious boy.”
“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”
About: I've cared for my own dog for 13 years, from puppy through senior, so I understand routines, meds, and patience. I'm active, love long walks, and send photos after every visit. My schedule is flexible right now, so I'm available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, midday walks, and evenings. Last-minute requests are welcome; just send a message and I'll respond quickly. I follow your routine exactly: feeding, meds, and house rules. Dogs stay leashed on walks, doors stay locked, and I check in with photos and updates so you always know your pup is safe.
About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.
“Coralee is wonderful! The dogs love her, she is communicative and respectful. The other day I was on an important meeting and Coralee came in the house. She knew about the meeting and was super quiet even when one of my dogs would not come to her. She really read the situation and handled it beautifully! Thank you, Coralee!”
About: I am currently remote so have the freedom to take care of your pet like my own, and I only board one dog at a time. Bruin was my companion for 12 years and has recently crossed over the rainbow bridge so looking to fill my life with more cuddles, kisses and playtime. I have experience with older senior dogs and medications as well since Bruin lived with cancer for three long years! You can entrust your pet with me and ensure they get the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to message me with any questions and I’ll be happy to answer. I’m currently remote and have the flexibility to pay attention and give the care needed for someones wonderful companion. I love walking, playing and giving hugs and kisses! I currently live in a dog friendly apartment complex, however am close to many dog friendly parks and my neighborhood is safe for dog walks and play time.
About: I have always loved dogs, big and small! I am mama to 2 schnauzers, Hula and Sadie. Currently available full time for your pet. I have a fenced patio where we hang out in the sun. We also go on walks, car rides and the dog park (Campbell/Los Gatos). I will care for your pup as if they were my own. Come join our “pack”. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time for play time and walks. I’m available for daycare, walks and boarding. Also snuggle time!

About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
About: I worked at Naperville Animal Hospital for about a year as a kennel technician. I have a labradoodle that just turned 7 who is 90 pounds. I also have 2 cats who are almost a year old. I love going on walks with my dog and taking him to do fun things (dog park, pup cup, etc). I also love playing and taking care of my cats. Am always available to give them the love they deserve. I always make sure to clean up after my own animals and will make sure to do the same for others. I also make sure to make them feel comfortable even in a new environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buena Vista
Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my English bulldog. She sent lots of pictures, left great updates that made me laugh, and my home was just as clean as when I left. I felt very comfortable and at ease while on my trip with Rachel taking care of my pets and will definitely hire her again!
Megan took care of and was walking Pepper for over a week. I am very happy I found such an amazing walker for Pepper. She is super reliable, always showed up right on time, and gave me peace of mind. Her communication is awesome, she made sure I knew house and dog were in good hands. She told me of her desire of being more with dogs again after her move to CA. She took the best care of Pepper and treated him like one of her own. It seemed to me that Pepper looks even happier, healthier than before they started their walks. Highly recommended and I will ask her again next time when I am away.
Claudia was so sweet to take my last minute request to walk my dog. She was on time and she was so attentive my baby girl. I met Claudia at a coffee shop a few weeks ago and she told me she used Rover, shared her booking link, and it came so handy yesterday where I needed a last minute walker. I see her profile is new, but she definitely experienced with dogs. Well definitely book her again. Thank you so much!!
Yumi is incredibly conscientious, thorough, and punctual. She asks all the right questions and pays close attention to even the smallest details. She also has a real sixth sense when it comes to animals and seems to understand how they are feeling and what they need. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in the right hands with her. I especially love the connection she has with Rio. Sometimes I feel like they must have met in another life. Their bond is genuinely special, and Rio gets so excited to see her. It is clear that he absolutely adores her.
Rachel was fantastic with our enthusiastic hound dog during our last getaway, so we booked her again for dog walks while we were out of town over the long weekend. Unfortunately, our pup developed an unexpected stomach issue the day we left. Rachel was extremely communicative and kindly worked with us as we assessed our dog's health and recovery. She was patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful—we were ultimately able to continue our vacation plans knowing that our dog was in great hands. We look forward to requesting Rachel’s help again during our next trip, and our dog does too!
Wenran was amazing with my dog! She was super patient and attentive, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with him. I especially loved that she actually interacted with him and communicated with him throughout the stay, rather than just taking care of the basics. She was very caring and thoughtful, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely book with Wenran again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Buena Vista. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
