“Jason was great! He came over a few days before walking birdie to meet her and get aquatinted, which I appreciated. Birdie loved him and was very happy and tired when they got back from their walk!”
“Camille took great care of our sweet hippo while we were out of town for a few days. We really appreciated how accommodating she was when it came to arranging a meet-and-greet prior to our scheduled care. We will definitely be booking her for the future :-)”
“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.”
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: I’m a patient and dependable dog owner who enjoys making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following your dog’s usual routine. I pay attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care and attention that works best for them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have a dog of my own and already make time for walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m available all day Mondays and Thursdays, mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention while keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will communicate if I notice anything unusual with their pet.
About: I've been around dogs of all sizes my entire life, so I know how to handle all pooches with patience and care. :) I've also pet sit for multiple cats, but I don't have as much experience with them compared to dogs. However, all of the kitties I've watched over, including senior cats, eventually grew quite attached to me. I'm attending college in late August, so my daily schedule is pretty flexible until then as I do not have a summer time job. However, I do have weekly meetings every Thursday that I must show up for. Other than that, I should be available every other week day at any time of day. Depending on your fur baby's needs and comfortability, I can crate them, keep them inside at all times, make sure there's an enclosed area outside, etc.
About: Throughout my childhood I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds - dogs in particular. My family has always had at least one dog in our household and I’ve spent a combined three years volunteering, shadowing, and working at animal hospitals / clinics - learning how to meet the needs of every dog or cat I encounter. The passion I had as a child led me to pursue zoology. I recently graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt and while there I worked at the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center. It was here that I learned to confidently and humanely rehabilitate numerous critters. I’ve worked with everything from raccoons to seabirds! The experience I’ve collected throughout my life has left me confident in my ability to provide structured and comforting care to any cat, dog, or other critters you may have. Please feel free to reach out with more questions or inquiries! :) Taking care of pets is my passion and priority. I'm available any time of the day, on both weekends and weekdays, to give good care to your animals. The most important things I focus on are giving love to all pets and ensuring they feel safe. Additionally, I have or create a schedule for taking care of the pet's needs, from meals to potty breaks to medication.
About: Growing up, I've always had an affinity for animals. I've spent much of my life caring for my family's dog, and spending time caring for my neighbors' and friends' pets when they were away. I’ve got a senior cat of my own, and have also have spent time throughout the past several years caring for my friend's cat when she would travel frequently for work. I have experience administering medicine to cats, and am comfortable doing so for dogs as well. I am excited to be a part of Rover to spend time with more four-legged friends! I’m new to San Jose, and am especially excited to explore and be active outside with your furry family member. I also am available to provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I follow directions very carefully and will ensure to always keep your house clean. Happy to discuss any other precautions to take so that you and your pet are as safe as can be. Feel free to reach out, and I look forward to meeting you! I work remotely and part-time giving me flexibility throughout the work week to take care of your pets. I’m also occasionally available on weekends. Please let me know of your care needs! While caring for pets in your home, I practice safe entrances and exits to ensure your pets don’t leave the house. I make sure to follow all directions and protocols given as to not introduce any stress or confusion to your furry friends.
“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.”
“Whinde is great! She’s walked Fred twice now, and this time I got to see that Fred was very content after her walk. She was also able to walk her for a little longer after there was a mix up with the time.”
About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.
About: Hello! My name is Stephanie! I have owned dogs and pets my whole life and I absolutely love animals. I only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of personalized attention, love, and care during their stay. I have a 3-year-old Goldendoodle who is super friendly and loves making new friends! I work remotely, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for overnight boarding and daycare. I especially love working with recurring families so I can build a relationship with you and your furry friend and help them feel comfortable and at home during every stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buena Vista
Yumi was thorough and thoughtful with her questions before confirming the booking, which immediately gave us confidence in her. She was punctual, conscientious, professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. We wanted to try a few walks first prior to overnights. Rio was completely drawn to her. He immediately greeted her with licks and affection, and I honestly had never seen him warm up to someone new so quickly. He extended his paw, which expresses trust. That was a good sign. We will absolutely be hiring her again for our future house sitting needs. She is a caring, responsible, and exceptional!
Rachel was great with my high energy dog on our meet and greet and even took her for a quick practice walk. The day of the walk was very hot and she took care to keep her in the shade but still get her outside and engage with her. She’s also very communicative and responsive.
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!

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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
