“Lynn was a godsend for my family and took amazing and very loving care of our very active golden doodle. I would not hesitate to rebook her again. She’s very trustworthy, communicative and left the house in tip top condition. She’s so personable that I can see her becoming my friend.”
“Five starts for MaryAnn! She is an amazing dog sitter and I will absolutely hire her again. She stayed at my house with my four dogs and took excellent care of them. She kept me updated throughout the day and even sent some awesome pictures of them. In addition to caring for the dogs, she kept the house tidy and vacuumed the dog hair too! I highly recommend her for your dog sitting or walking needs. :)”
“Tianyu was great! She was extremely responsive during her stay with our older dog, Otis, and provided great updates and photos/videos. She kept our house and backyard extra clean. We will book with her again in the future!”
“Juliana did a great job, caring for our two fur babies. She administered prescribed medication to one our fur babies. She sent me photos , came back to our home clean, just the way we left. I would definitely recommend Juliana to care for your pets.”
“Angelina and Xavior were great with our fur babies. They were very attentive to the needs of our senior dog and sent lots of updates which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely be requesting them again.”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Stephanie! From the very first meeting, she made us all feel so comfortable. She is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond for every pup in her care. We have two dogs with very different needs: one is reactive, and the other has ongoing medical requirements. Finding someone we trust with both of them felt daunting but Stephanie came in with calmness, confidence, and knowledge, knowing exactly how to approach our reactive dog and handling our other pup's medical needs with skill and care. Stephanie was wonderful at keeping me in the loop and made it obvious that our dogs' comfort and wellbeing were her top priority. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her and will asolutely be booking with her again. If you have dogs with special needs, look no further!”
“I felt like I left my sweet, anxious, and dog reactive gal, Magpie in safe hands with ML. He has a calm presence and was communicative during our trip. He left our house in great shape and I could tell when I got home that Magpie was relaxed and happy, which is always a great sign to me! I would definitely recommend him for house/dog sitting needs, and hope to book with him again in the future!”

Everything from overnights in your home to drop ins for walks and potty breaks, your best friend is in good hands My schedule is very flexible and I am available to take care of your best friend at very short notice. I pride myself on being dependable and caring. I appreciate knowing all of the details about your best friend. What is their temperament, do they like long walks or snuggles? Is your cat playful or shy? Every detail helps me take the absolute best care of your best friend.
“Ana was great with Lucie! Lucie injured her leg before we left, and Ana made sure she stayed on her meds and rested while keeping me updated! She left our place very clean as well👍🏻.”
About: Growing up I had so many different types of pets, which in the long run gave me many years of pet care experience. I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I currently go to school at Evergreen Valley College as a part time student durning the week in the mornings. But weekends my schedule is usually clear. I have many pets in which when I can, I take them for walks, feed them, buy supplies and food they may need and also make sure they get extra love from me.
“This was our first weekend having her watch our cat, and we happened to be camping with little to no service, so we really appreciated that she was able to follow all of our instructions without being able to reach us. She still sent daily updates that we got whenever our spotty service came through. Our cat is curious and sweet but pretty cautious with new people, and she managed to win him over in just two days. We came home to a happy cat and a clean apartment, and she even waited until we had service and confirmed we were on our way home before leaving. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Tiana was really wonderful. This was the first time we had booked with her for a house sitting and pet sitting. She was professional, kind, very communicative and really took great care of our babies. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly in just 24 hours. She proactively brought in our mail. Our home and our 3 pets were very well cared for. We most certainly will book with her again and encourage you to do the same!”
About: Since I was a kid, I’ve always had multiple dogs in my house at a time. Taking care of and walking dogs has always been a staple to my everyday routine and overall life. In the past 4 years my family and I have begun to foster dogs of all different ages, breeds, and personalities. They came in and out of our house often and each dog had different needs you had to accommodate for. The most difficult were puppies, who seemed to be either very shy or very energetic. While the dogs stayed at our house I would take on the task of feeding and walking them and overtime I got better and better. I love to work with dogs and I’m so excited to meet and help more dogs in new areas! I’m currently a full-time student at San Jose State University but I will always make time for you dogs! My best time for walking dogs is Tuesday/Thursday afternoons and anytime Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. While for home visits my best times are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I unfortunately cannot care for dogs in my own home but at a client’s home I will make sure to respect any rules and focus on the dog’s needs above any other things. For myself, taking care of dogs at home has always been making sure they’re well fed, well walked, and have everything they need to have a good time.
“Saturday was so accommodating and very communicative with frequent updates about how Mila was doing. I love how much experience with cats she has, and was happily able to give Mila oral medication. I will definitely be re-booking in the near future.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
About: I love cuddling and playing with all dogs! Having the peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of while you're away or running errands is what I hope to accomplish for you. I've had a dog all my life growing up, so I understand the deep emotional attachment that comes with owning a pet. I guarantee the safety and wellbeing of your pet, and promise to provide the same care I bestow upon my own. I myself have a black Chihuahua named Anubis, who I have had since I was a little girl. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, and providing them a fun time when you are unable to. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. :) If you are curious about scheduling short visits during the week, please contact me to work something out. Based on what your needs are of me, I'll work around that schedule in depth with you to provide the best care. Everything will be meticulously planned to ensure the smoothest line of care. Safety and trust are my highest priority, that not only goes for your pet but also yours. There's no rush to befriending a pet, as they will best communicate to me the speed they need me to go to make a first meeting (and all meetings) a successful one. Whether that's spending as long as it takes to have them approach me and befriend me, or feeding treats until they think I'm made of it.
About: I would take care of dogs during covid as a side job in highschool 😊 Since then, i’ve always had a passion for every animal species. Our fur babies are our families & we do everything we can to make sure they are guided on the right path🧡 I’m currently working part time at home while in school 🙂 My classes are an hour and a half every day & i am free on weekends! My dog and i spend our time a lot at dog parks, walking, & doing training exercises! I also bake for my dog! So any allergies or diets i may now please notify! My room is pet friendly for chill or play time. Including overnights as well :) I like to give a routine where the dogs have a balanced day out and in. I carry extra blankets & a bed in case but they are more than welcome on my bed.

Lynn was amazing!! Very experienced with all personality’s and rescues took care of Spice perfectly and I look forward to many more care dates. Lynn does not only have great experience with dogs but mature experience with the home and knew exactly what needed to be done!!
Elizabeth was lovely, as always, and very respectful of the house and the cats. She took care of the them well. When we returned, they were calm and happy. Their reaction tells me everything I need to know about how she cared for them. She’s my go-to, and I’ve never been sadder to move! Please select Elizabeth. She’s a wonderful sitter with a caring nature and great communication.
Sookie had a great time with Catherine! Catherine was kind, professional, and followed our care instructions for Sookie to the tea. She sent lots of photos and videos that eased our minds while we were away. We will be booking with her again soon! Thank you Catherine!
Vanessa was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She asked all the right questions and took such good care of our dog while we were gone. Our Paisley has a hard time being left alone and she was very considerate of that and even went the extra mile to get her to eat when she was being finicky. We received plenty of updates and she left our house looking as it was when we left. We'd book her again and our dog Paisley absolutely loved her! The cat Leela loved her too and she's pretty aloof!

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 East Foothills 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 East Foothills 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 East Foothills 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
