“Sofiya was awesome. I booked late notice and she took care of and was kind with my pup Jody :) Got to drop off location and he was stoked when he first met her! She definitely loves pets and has a way with them. 10 stars easily. Would recommend for all pet care. Thank you Sofiya, I will be seeing you again😁”


“Brandon is super attentive with our baby ?, we built a lot of trust from day 1 as Rio like to be around him and he always make sure to send us cute photos, also he’s helping us to train him and we see the improvement on him, I would definitely recommend Brandon for anyone that cares about having a good person in charge of your dog .. Thank you Brandon !!”


“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”


“Sunshine and Shannon are wonderful and were so kind to me and my pup! They send multiple updates throughout the day and are very understanding of your dogs needs. Thank you both for looking after Ollie!”



“We are so happy we had Ezra to take care of our puppy! She is very kind, experienced, and great at communicating. She sent us updates throughout the day and assured us our pup was in great hands. We highly recommend Ezra and definitely look forward to working with her again!”


“Melanie was great! She took really good care of Theo, took him on multiple walks, and was very communicative. He was also really happy to see her when I dropped him off in the morning!”

About: I am an animal lover and advocate with decades of experience providing cat and dog caregiver services to our community. My experience ranges from bottle babies to senior babies. I foster with rescues, so I am comfortable with a variety of personality types and special needs. I offer cat and dog boarding in my home, as well as in home visits. I also offer advanced care – baths, nail trimming, administering meds, including subcutaneous fluids. Having kitties and pups of my own my whole life, I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your fur babies when you are away. I would be honored to help you. I work from home, so I have the ability to give your fur babies the extra care and attention they deserve while you are away. I am available seven days a week, including holiday dates. For overnight stays, I have a fur baby room to host kitties, or pups, if they would do better with their own space at night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your pup company.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two adorable Frenchies - Chloe (5y) and Elli (7y). I’ve also cared for other dogs and always enjoy spending time with animals—playing, walking, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I know some great walking trails and enjoy making homemade food for my dogs, so your pet will feel right at home. I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a calm, caring environment. I mostly work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will have lots of company and attention throughout the day. I live with my family in a pet-loving home, and there’s almost always someone around to keep your pup happy and safe. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I offer a calm, pet-friendly home where dogs are never left alone for long—someone from my family is usually here even if I step out. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine and happy to follow any special care instructions, including feeding schedules, food modifications, or medications. Your pup will enjoy daily walks on quiet, safe trails and get plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s cuddles, exercise, or a homemade treat, I make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and loved.

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”


“Florian is great! Would highly recommend. He watched my dog Theo for two days for doggy day care. He communicated well, took great care of my dog, and he came home exhausted!”

Arianna R.
“I highly recommend Arianna as a pet caregiver. She is the most loving and responsible pet caregiver I know. On several occasions, Arianna cared for my senior (14 years old at the time) cat and senior (8 years old at the time) dog. I couldn't have asked for a better, more loving and caring person to take care of my babies. Arianna immediately fell in love with them, playing with and taking care of them as if she had known them since they were a kitten and puppy. When my baby-cat wanted to play chase, Arianna chased her; when my stinky dog needed a bath, Arianna bathed her; and when they needed care (e.g., pills, eyedrops, and subcutaneous fluids), Arianna cared for them. If you need a loving, caring person who will take care of and love your pets as if they were her own family, Arianna has my highest recommendation.”


Angelina S.
“Angelina did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Barsik, while I was away on vacation. She regularly sent me updates and photos of my cat, so I always knew everything was going well. My entire vacation was stress-free because I always knew my cat was in good hands. I returned home to a happy and well-cared cat. I highly recommend Angelina because she's responsible, and most of all, she truly loves animals!”


Alyssa R.
“Alyssa is responsible and loving with animals and is great at showing attention to detail when it comes to making sure the dogs are safe when being walked.”


Jen O.
“Jen is selfless and nurturing while being one of the most responsible animal caregivers that I have ever known. I have never known anyone to go to the lengths that she has for the animals in her life. She has inspired me and supported me as I care for a terminally ill pet and I am eternally grateful to have her as an example of the kind of pet-parent I want to be.”

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mrs Cally and Mr Issac are excellent dog sitters!! They take care of our Luna as well as their dog. We weren't worried when we let Luna stay overnight at Mrs Cally's house. Luna felt so comfortable and joyful when we picked her up, which tells us Luna is in good hands. We want to thank you so much for ❤️ and caring for our baby! We highly recommend Mrs Cally for everyone!

Corki was really happy to stay at Mary’s place. She and her family made him feel very much at home. He snuggled next to them and felt just at home. He got his walks, nap and food in time and they sent us cute pics. Will gladly recommend anyone to leave their pet at Mary’s.

As an owner of a Husky mix, Rovers can be hard to find, so finding Hannah really great. She has a fully enclosed yard and totally understood all of Almond's "Husky" traits & needs. We got lots of pictures & updates throughout the day, and it was so nice to see how much Bleu and Almond got along. With a new baby, our scheduling wasn't always precise, but Hannah was very flexible & understanding. Can't wait to have her watch Almond again
