“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”


“Zhi was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was kind, friendly, playful, and went above and beyond everything I asked for. She made sure my dog was well taken care of by feeding him, taking him on a walk, and spending quality time playing with him at the park. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated him like her own. My dog loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: As a seasoned dog sitter with 15 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet care opportunity. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, coupled with my commitment to providing top-notch care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Whether it's training puppies, or simply offering companionship and fun, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to my care. With me, your beloved pet will receive nothing short of exceptional attention and affection. We do not have any dogs in our apartment, as our boy Thumper passed away in July. I’d love to take care of your pup as well as we took care of our own! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I prioritize it with the utmost dedication. I schedule specific times for feeding, exercise, and playtime, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle sessions, I tailor my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets under my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with clients to accommodate any specific scheduling requests or changes, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. In my apartment, safety and comfort are paramount for every pet under my care. I ensure a pet-friendly environment by removing any hazards and providing plenty of space for them to move around. Additionally, I adhere to any specific instructions provided by the client regarding their pet's routine, dietary needs, and exercise regimen. Whether it's playing in designated areas, going for walks in nearby parks, or simply lounging indoors, I make sure pets feel at home and loved throughout their stay.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I currently have three family pit bulls and one French bulldog, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large, high-energy dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with pets—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and affection. I’m also very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to care. One of my own dogs has a special diet, so I understand how important it is to stay on top of feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and overall health needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. About half the week I work from home, so I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’ll primarily be scheduling dog walks during my work-from-home days and on weekends, when I have more time to give your pet my full attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets stick to their usual routines. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or my client’s home. My apartment complex has a private dog park where dogs can enjoy space to run and play individually, so they’re not overwhelmed or interacting with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to tailor activity to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long walks at nearby parks, shorter neighborhood walks, or more relaxed playtime. I always prioritize safety, so pets will not be around other dogs while in my care unless otherwise requested. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hello, I’m Gisele. Im moved to San Jose in January 2025 from México. Back in Mexico, I used to took care of my family’s and friends’s dogs and cats since 2020 whenever they went on vacation feeding them and playing with them. I used to have a little Maltipoo named Dobby; he was an senior dog, but sadly, he passed away a year ago, leaving a huge void in my life and my heart. As a result, I have experience caring for senior dogs. Although I don’t have much experience here in the U.S. yet, but my neighbor gave me the opportunity to took care of his three dogs (two senior Keeshonds and a puppy French Bulldog) for a week. I enjoyed it so much that it inspired me to create a profile here. I love playing with dogs, I like petting them and taking them for walks. I simply love being with them. My English isn’t perfect, but I can handle basic conversations. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available all day to walk your dogs or look after them at your home. During the week, my availability depends on my school schedule; however, feel free to send me a message, and I will happily see if I can accommodate the times you need. I am typically available to walk dogs and make home visits on any weekday after 3:00 p.m. I take pet care very seriously. While in your home, I will follow your rules and your dog's routine. I will keep your house clean and secure. I will feed your dog at the scheduled time, provide fresh water, play with them, and take them out for walks—exactly as you request. I will lock the doors and send you photos and updates after every visit or walk. Your pet will be happy and safe with me.
“Charlie is the absolute best! She has been doing daily walks for my dog and it is the highlight of his day. His sits by the door waiting for her to arrive, gets so stinking excited when she shows up and toodles off with her in heaven. Charlie provides detailed updates on the walk and is highly communicative with us. In short, I could not recommend Charlie more!”
“Cassidy is great! I always get thorough updates and she has been flexible with our last minute requests. She is very capable and experienced and I know my (sometimes anxious) pup is in good hands!”

“Michele was great - she very professionally and thoughtfully managed our unruly dogs. She was reliable and followed through on all details and communication. She made it easy for us to be away. We didn't have to worrying about a thing. Our furry family members were in safe hands.”

“Terry is great with Ruby! She takes the time to let Ruby greet her friends at the park and is so sweet to take many photos during their walks. I’m so glad I found Terry!”

About: Hi! I’m a De Anza College nursing student and a lifelong dog and animal lover. I’m reliable, routine-focused, and confident caring for a wide range of dogs, including high-energy pups and dogs who need calmer, structured walks. I gained hands-on experience caring for a sweet but reactive Golden Retriever while working as an au pair in Germany, so I’m very attentive to leash safety, triggers, and keeping walks smooth and safe. I’m also raising my own Golden Retriever puppy, Sunny, so I’m comfortable managing energetic dogs and staying consistent with routines. I’m detail-oriented, happy to follow your instructions closely, and I can give oral medications if needed. I’m also gentle with senior dogs who need a slower pace. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and calm, consistent care. Pet care fits into my weekly routine. I plan my class/study schedule around my Rover bookings so I can be consistent and on time. On weekdays, I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening visits/walks (my calendar reflects my exact availability). I prioritize routine, so once we agree on times, I stick to them. I also build in flexibility for longer walks, extra potty breaks, and unexpected needs, and I communicate early if anything changes. Trust and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet like my own. In a client’s home: • I will make sure to follow your routine (feeding, potty breaks, walk style, and house rules). • I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes/harnesses before leaving. • Walks are calm and controlled: I avoid risky situations, keep safe distance from triggers, and don’t allow off-leash time unless you’ve explicitly approved a secure area. (I never take pets to dog parks unless the owner requests it and we’ve discussed it in advance.) • I keep your home tidy and secure (lights/locks, wiping paws if needed, quick cleanup after meals). In my home (if boarding/daycare): • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. • I separate pets during meals/treats to prevent resource guarding. • I use positive reinforcement and respect each pet’s comfort level. • I can accommodate crate routines if your pet is crate-trained. Communication: • You’ll get photo/video updates and a short note each visit. • If anything unusual happens (vomiting, injury, appetite changes, behavior shifts), I contact you right away and follow your instructions. • I’m comfortable giving oral medications and caring for seniors who need a gentler pace. I would also prefer a Meet & Greet so I can learn your pet’s routine and make sure we’re a great match.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.
“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.”

“Meara was amazing while we were on vacation! She’s extremely knowledgeable and patient with our 2 pugs. Showed up on time and sent photos every day. You should book her! Your furry friends will be in good hands.”

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.
Buena Vista dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephania has been doing check ins for my Dachshund puppy twice a day 3x a week for a few weeks now, and it is no easy task! At our first initial meeting, Stephania asked very detailed questions about her care, training, schedule, behavior, vet information, and also my expectations on what a day to day visit would look like. Her diligence reassured me that she is detailed oriented and really cares about providing the best care possible. She is very easy to contact, responds quickly, and openly communicates. My work schedule is very random, but Stephania goes above and beyond to work around it. Stephania is also very respectful of my home, and leaves it exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. I also have cats in my home that she is not responsible for caring for, but will still show them love and attention anyways. Poppy and I appreciate everything she does, and I am confident in rebooking her again!

RYDER Looks forward to his "Kick Off The Week" Walk with Rachel. She provides him variety, taking alternate routes around the neighborhood and exposing him to new sights and scents while out catching the morning sun and an occasional Squirrel crossing to get his heart-a-pumping! Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of our boy. I'm certain he's excited to see you arrive and walk with him... Thank You!

Sasha and Claire have been amazing with Wini! They’ve been super reliable, communicative, and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Wini was being taken care of while I was at work. Highly recommend them and would absolutely book again!

Katie helped me out last minute when I was in a pinch. I have never hired a dog walker through Rover and have only previously used dog sitting services. However, Katie made the process super easy. She spent extra time with my girl and made sure she had the walk she deserved that day.

Jason was great! Came to meet Duke before officially being booked which I really appreciated and made me feel more comfortable. It was the first time leaving Duke alone since moving here so I was a bit stressed about it. Jason was super communicative, on time and kept me posted on everything. On one of the days Duke had a little accident inside the apartment and Jason without hesitation cleaned up, it also rained on a different day and made sure to dry him off and keep him comfortable, I just really appreciated the attention to detail. Definitely would recommend and I’m already rebooking him for additional dates.
