About: I've watched dogs for others for years, starting with my former dance instructor when I was a teenager to now and my client list has grown exponentially over the years through word of mouth. While most of the dogs I've cared for are seniors and have a special place in my heart, including my own now, I also love to care for those with more high energy and enjoy walking and playing. I make sure to communicate any issues that arise as soon as possible and accommodate to your pets needs as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but can dedicate lots of love and attention to your pet whenever I'm off work or on my lunch break if it’s close by. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of food, rest, and exercise depending on yours and their needs. When pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know having a new body around can be stressful, but I always manage to have pets feel comfortable and happy when I'm around. I also clean up after myself, to the point where you won't even know I was there, as well as your pet if there are any messes that need to be cleaned--bathroom accidents, vomit, etc, I've cleaned it all!
“Always great to have Kevin here! Millie loves him and clearly gets great care and attention from him. Appreciate that when we came back early he offered to still take her on a walk. Definitely helpful for us to get unloaded and settled.”

“Lexa is so great! Very trustworthy and kind. We felt very confident leaving her in our home, and with our fur babies. She is knowledgeable, assertive and a great communicator. We are so relieved to have met Lexa and feel like the weight of the world is off our shoulders finding such a great dog sitter we can trust”

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where I’ve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to pets’ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experience—so pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether it’s medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. I also helped my grandparents deliver , and give immunizations to new dog litters. I also had to help train them prior to them being sent to their new homes. I have dog sit seniors dogs and puppies. I have a huge trail behind my house for some outdoor play and walking and a downstairs balcony in my townhome as well. I own 3 cats as well! Have experience with cat medication , and care . I’m currently available weekend and holidays! I am an Animal Vivarium Manager and can work pet care mostly during those times. However if a week day is needed I can definitely fit that in and work my schedule around it :) I have a fenced patio for playing and a huge hiking trail behind my house with two parks. My current cars are indoor cars but I also let them play on the balcony from time to time for fresh air and outside play.
“Trina took incredible care of our dog Dolly, taking things like the weather into consideration and also keeping in constant communication with us. She left the house spotless and even tidied Dolly’s toys up.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Dzit! She communicated with us so well throughout the entire time she took care of our fur babies and sent us plenty of pictures as well. She was very sweet and understanding, showed up on time, and took such good care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worries knowing they were being cared for by her. I couldn’t have asked for a better person. It’s so hard to find someone trustworthy and I’m so glad I found her. Hope to book her again another time!”

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

“Estelle did a great job taking care of my 2 large dogs for 10 days. She listened to instructions and the dogs seemed to be happy around her from day 1. Thank you Estelle!”

About: I have had pets all my life. Puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. I recently retired from my day job and a mom to two black labs and fish. I love walking my dogs daily, playing with them and rubbing their bellies! I aim to provide the best love and attention to your pets while in my care.

While in your home, I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether its walks, belly rubs and/or playtime they will have my full attention.
“An absolute golden star! Topher stayed at our home for almost a week and went above and beyond to make sure our high energy pup got as much play time as she wanted. He sent multiple photos/videos a day and was quick to respond. He kept our home clean and even swept the leaves off our porch! Would recommend Topher without reservation.”

“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”

About: Full time artist here who loves dogs and cats. I've always been surrounded by dogs and cats back home and would love to give my customize my love to them like my art. I'm currently working from home. I like taking a walk in the morning and evening. I don't mind walking any time of the day though. I will have a separate space for them where they can play. Apart from that I will not take them elsewhere since it's not fenced
About: The entire span of my life includes caring for different animals, including puppies and senior dogs, and cats, yet now I maintain a leopard gecko. Throughout my life, I have been naturally inclined to care for animals, so I have walked and played with dogs of all breeds and ages, with and energy levels. The tasks of feeding animals, along with medication administration and cleaning their environment, and providing stimulating activities are all within my comfort zone. I am currently in my masters program and have classes Tuesday and Thursday nights, between 6-9pm. Otherwise available the rest of the week and weekends. The safety and comfort of your pet always take first place in my care. When I enter your home, I honor both your living space and established routines through consistent practices to help your pet stay secure during your absence. Before leaving, I conduct thorough inspections of doors and gates, together with all accessible areas where pets might roam, while I clean up after each scheduled visit.
“Alexandra was a huge help with a last minute booking. She took great care of our dog, and I know he had a blast. She provided tons of activity and kept us informed the whole time. Can’t wait to book again.”


About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. As a dog owner myself, I know pets are family. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby just like I would my own. I own a salon in Fremont so I basically make my own schedule. So it would be very easy. I have a booking site so I’m able to block my schedule as needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and maintain their normal feeding, walking, and playtime routine. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been using Rover to take care of different sized dogs (from small to large ones) since 2017. We did housesitting up to 2 weeks at a time and I dog walked frequently. It was mostly through my roommate’s account back when I was in school, and I stopped after school to focus on my career. Now that my partner and I have a podengo-terrier, we started using Rover as dog parents. It made me realize how much I missed meeting other dogs! I have been housesitting and dropping in for various families in the past 5 years, and recently started accepting dog boarding request since our dog Kuki is now older. My partner Iya works from home, while I work part-time as a healthcare provider. Kuki can be anxious around other dogs, so we will set up meet and greet before booking to ensure we are a good fit. I work part-time as a healthcare worker in hospitals in the area. My schedule changes from week to week. On days I work, I am not available between 7-5pm, but can take care of your pet before and after. For house sitting bookings that last for a few days, my partner can help out during the day if I have work and your pet needs more attention during the day. My partner works from home, and can care for dogs we board whenever I’m at work! We go on walks in the neighborhood frequently, and also our apartment complex has a shared patio we sometimes hang out on for sunshine and fetch. When I care for your dog, I will take him/her on long walks and spend time cuddling and playing fetch with him/her, depending on his/her activity level! Please let me know what they like to do and their preferences. I will also follow your parenting preferences around the house while you are away, and also when we take care of your fur babies in our home.
“This was my first time using rover and having someone stay in my home with my dogs. I was really worried and a little skeptical on how the process goes, but after meeting ahnihx for the meet and greet I felt so much more at ease. She made this process stress free and kept my pets happy and my home clean!! I was so happy with how this went. I definitely want to use her services again! She is polite, kind and compassionate! Super friendly and sweet! She is welcome in my Home anytime. Thank you for making this a great experience”

Krystal was great. She was right on time for the overnight sitting we easily arranged with her. She was able to follow the complex schedule for our two large, "high need" dogs (walks, meds, meals and treats, all on a schedule). Good comunication, trustworthy and good with dogs. What more can one ask?

I had a wonderful experience with Johanna as Asher’s pet sitter! She took excellent care of my fur baby, gave him lots of love and attention, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby! ❤️ It means so much to me knowing he was loved, cared for, and responsibly in good hands. I truly appreciate everything you did and would happily book with you again! 🐾💕

Mariane took wonderful care of my dog, Linus, over the Fourth of July weekend. Like many dog owners, I was especially concerned about the fireworks and how he would handle them. Throughout his four-day stay, Mariane sent thoughtful updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Linus was understandably a little scared during the fireworks, but seeing how patient, comforting, and attentive she was reassured me that he was in the best hands. It was clear he felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention Mariane gave him. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Linus again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable dog sitter.

I would give a million stars for Nyah if I could. She took amazing care of our anxious little pup giving us 5 blissful days away with the utmost peace of mind that Hope was in great hands. Nyah is so communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. She went above and beyond in so many ways. We are eternally grateful.

Taylor did an amazing job caring for our 15-year-old dog, Jake. She was always on-time, responds quickly to messages, and kept us updated while we were away. Jake is slow to walk at his age, and Taylor was so patient and gentle with him every step of the way. We truly appreciate her kindness and reliability, and we would absolutely trust her with Jake again.

Left for almost four days out of state for my brother wedding. Bella took good care of my animals while I was gone, and would recommend to anyone looking for animal care. She stayed in my home with them, and everything was clean and animals were happy. Nova is a large dog ~100lbs and doesn’t appear she had any troubles with her. Would look to rebook if I ever had the need again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carpenter walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carpenter maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carpenter choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
