“Rachel is very responsive when I reach out to her for taking care of my Bruno. I really appreciate that she replies to my last minute requests for dog boarding. She always keeps me updated on a daily basis with pictures of Bruno. When I pick up Bruno, I find that he has been well cared for. I will always ping Rachel first whenever we has have to leave our fur baby behind.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I have developed a strong passion for providing safe, loving, and reliable care for animals of all sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and caring for pets with different energy levels and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I prioritize maintaining their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident their pets are in caring hands. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and ensure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I am home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship rather than pets being left alone for long periods. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets receive supervision, care, and interaction throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owners are away. I focus on providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making them feel secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive consistent supervision since I work from home, allowing for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), litter box or yard maintenance, and enrichment activities. I also provide companionship to reduce stress and separation anxiety while keeping the home tidy and secure. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in trusted hands.

“Rupert had stayed with Rocky several times and always has a great time. This time around I also had my parents dog Gomy stay with Rocky too and he was very loved as well. Thank you!!!”

“Queenie & Yu-Chieh took such a great care of Perry, they did extraordinary, I could see Perry very very happy from the pictures they sent us, they always kept me posted, sending videos and pictures. I would take Perry again with them, we’re so thankful.”

“Pissamas took care of my 14 yo Shih Tzu for 4 days . She did a wonderful job by sending pictures and updates daily. My dog was clean, happy, and smelled good when I picked him up. I will book again. Thank you Pissamas!”

“We were very happy with Lucy and her family. Mandi seemed really happy to play with the kids and go on walks at the nearby park. Thank you again Lucy, we hope to have Mandi stay with you again.”
“Dawn is an absolutely incredible dog sitter! We are so grateful to have found her. Our dog, Mambo, had the time of his life and we could tell he was so happy and well-cared for. Dawn sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We could see how much fun Mambo was having playing with her dog, Manny, and they all got along so well. It’s clear that Dawn truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. We will definitely be re-booking with her in the future! Thank you so much, Dawn!”

“Akanksha is awesome. She was super flexible with our pickup and drop off time given that we had flights in and out of SFO and she took great care of our little girl. We loved all the photos she sent us and will definitely be adding her to our list of trusted sitters.”

“Bill is phenomenal. He took such good care of Miley and communicated with me great. She had a wonderful time on all the times he took her to his nearby dog park. When I ran into a flight delay that affected my pick up time, Bill was so understanding and accommodating. Would recommend him to anybody and will definitely look to book with him again!”


“Li-Ting did an amazing job taking care of our boy while we were out of town! She sent numerous daily videos and photos with detailed updates of his walks and play dates with FaCai. She also took the time to brush him daily so his fur remained silky smooth. I won’t hesitate to book Li-Ting again as she provides a safe home away from home for our boy.”

“Havi is very happy to be hope and I can’t thank you enough for all the photos and care you gave him. You made the whole experience positive and took the stress off me. Thank you again!!!”

“Sharon has watched our fur baby multiple times and we trust her and her family to take good care of our baby. We highly recommend her if you need a sitter! Thank you for being so kind and patient with us and Simba!”

“Ben and family were great with my reactive dog, Whiskey. Whiskey got good walks, lots of attention and cuddles! Ben was very communicative, flexible and even accommodated us last minute. He also picked up and dropped off Whiskey - which saved me from a lot of stress. I got regular updates with pictures and funny videos. Overall, I felt like Whiskey was in good hands!”
“Just like everyone’s fear specially your if you ever trust someone to care your family member. No doubt Leah is very kind, loving to my little fur (Hershey). She keep us posted everyday just like having a dairy for our dog. She will make sure that we have a piece of mind not to worry about our dog when we are away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who loves their fur. Big Thank You Leah and her partner as well.”

“Kinberley was a very welcoming and friendly host with us. She seems great with dogs and pets in general, and our pup seemed to have a great weekend with her and her family. Will definitely ask her for more help in the future!”

“Julie and Anthony were awesome. They were able to watch our pup last minute, which was a huge help. They sent a lot of pictures. We felt completely comfortable with Luna staying there. If we are ever in San Jose, we will be reaching out to them again!”

Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!

I have an anxious, senior dog who is not used to spending many nights away from home. Mer was so great in making sure the trial overnight stay went as smoothly as possible before a planned future extended stay. Mer went above and beyond and set up meet-and-greets for my pup, sending timely updates and answering all my questions. Thanks to her patience and planning, my dog had a fun, comfortable stay! Which is all that I could ask for. One less thing to worry about now! And I look forward to his extended stay with Mer. Thank you!

Rachel took good care of Oreo while we were away for a week. She had a bunch of small dogs that allowed Oreo to basically forget us 😀. He is now missing his furry friends after coming back home. Rachel also kept sending pics of dogs playing in her backyard & they all looked happy. Overall I’d rebook with her when needed next time. Thanks Rachel. 🙏

Leah was so sweet and inviting towards my pet, Milo and my family! She made me feel at ease during the whole process as this was my first time leaving Milo with a Rover sitter. I would highly recommend anyone to leave their fur babies with Leah if you want them to have a fun time :)

Sophie took such good care of my dogs! She gave detailed updates and was very communicative. She was very mindful of following my dogs’ routine and also asked questions to make sure that she had enough information to get to know my dogs. Both my dogs felt comfortable in her home. It was clear that Sophie was attentive, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure they felt safe and happy. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would definitely trust her to watch them again. Would definitely recommend!

Antonio was wonderful with our senior pittie Amara. He took wonderful care of her, spending time with her while she napped, and taking her on walks at the big grassy park in front of his house. He also sent us several great pictures and updates each day he was watching her. I would absolutely recommend Antonio and will rebook anytime we need a San Jose based sitter!

Jose was such a great sitter! He was so communicative and followed our directions to a tee. He sent a lot of photos and updates and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. He was able to handle my two high energy dogs with no issues. I will definitely use him again!

I had a great experience with Christopher and Maria watching Nala for a week! They did a great job keeping me updated with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Nala is a shy dog and hadn’t been boarded recently, but Maria and Christopher were incredibly patient and caring with her and did a great job helping her feel comfortable. I really appreciate all the care and attention they gave her. Highly recommend!

I had never used this service before but did not have anyone to care for my senior dog Sugar while we were on a recent vacation. Alma was great! She cared for Sugar with all of her needs and sent me daily updates. I will definitely use her again if the need arises!

Leaving our beloved Evie behind while traveling is never easy, especially after a previous negative experience with another sitter. But John and his wonderful family completely changed that for us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for Evie. From day one, John treated her like she was part of his own family. He sent us daily updates and tons of photos showing how happy and relaxed Evie was. That daily peace of mind while being miles away is something we’ll always be grateful for. John also went above and beyond. When we picked her up, he had even washed her bed, blanket, and toy! Such a thoughtful little detail that says a lot about how much he cared for her. Evie clearly felt completely at home and was so happy the entire time. John and his family are officially our go-to sitters, and we’ll absolutely be booking with them every time we travel. Thank you so much, John, and your lovely family. We’re incredibly grateful to all of you! ❤️

Fiona took great care of our corgi Tesla for a week. She sent updates and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Tesla settled in right away and seemed happy the whole time. Fiona was also easy to communicate with and flexible with timing. We would definitely book her again.
