About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have been lucky enough to care for some wonderful dogs and cats through pet sitting :) A little about me: I’m from San Jose and work remotely in audience engagement, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can spend plenty of time with your pets! I’ve cared for pets with different personalities and needs, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or just want someone to hang out and cuddle with. I love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure to leave everything clean and tidy. I’m more than happy to send photos and updates throughout the stay because I know how much it means to know your pets are doing well. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I work remotely. I have time to give pets extra love when needed + easier to bond with them. I can wake up early for feeding + play time In my clients home, I don’t rush them. I extend my hand out first so they can smell me and get to know me by my sent. I follow their routines by the T! So they know we are gonna do their favorite things and we could build trust.
“We were lucky to find Saturday. Our dogs felt very comfortable around her from the first moment. They could feel her love for pets. She took great care of them and of our home.”
“Rima was amazing! She took really great care of our fur baby and our house. We never really leave our dog alone or with anyone else that’s why I was a little worried how she’s going to be. Also, our dog sometimes gets anxious around new people, but Rima was super sweet and our fur baby bonded with her really quick, which gave me a piece of mind for leaving her in a caring hands.”
“We’re so happy we found Denise!! This was our first time using Rover, and Denise stayed with our four dogs (three small mutts, one pit bull). Great communication, dogs loved her, and we felt really comfortable while we were gone knowing she was there. She left our house in perfect condition and even helped us with our garden ?! We’ll definitely be booking with Denise again.”
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.
“Sarah has been taking our reactive dog on walks and earning trust with him. We finally booked a dog sitting stay for 4 days. Despite his last minute medical need right before the trip (which required her to give daily medications & wear a cone), she took on the challenge & did amazing. Our dog really seemed to trust & appreciate Sarah’s company & she made sure he got lots of attention, meals & walks. She was also very respectful of our house & left the place immaculate. We will definitely continue to hire Sarah & felt such relief to know our fur baby was in such good hands.”
“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👍🏻.”
“Melinda took great care of my dog. She was very understanding when I had to change dates due to my dog’s sudden illness. She continued giving her an antibiotic when I was on my trip and was very loving and caring. She provided photos and videos daily. I would recommend Melinda.”
“I had a great experience with Marley and she was a great fit for dogsitting my two dogs Sally and Dash. Marley is punctual and great at communicating and sending updates. Thank you for everything Marley and I hope to work with you again in the future!”
“Haley did an amazing job caring for Jojo and Mimi today! My two beagles can definitely be a handful, so I was nervous about how they would do with a new sitter. Haley handled them so well, and they seemed happy and comfortable with her, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so glad we got to be her first Rover clients! We truly appreciate her patience and care, and we would happily book her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Long time animal mom, I work comfortably with all animals. I’ve personally owned 135 pound boxer down to 10 pound bossy chihuahua. I’ve always animal sit and handle dog walks for friends and family, so I thought it was time to set up a rover account. I am a former childcare provider that cared for 8 children while having 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 chickens and a bearded dragon. My pets thought they were daycare children and I worked with the children to treat my animals with the love and respect they deserve. My dogs have taught toddlers to walk, and learned to tell on them if they were hit. I’m a wife, and mother to two high schoolers. Currently have an 85 pound boxer boy and 10 pound chihuahua with 3 cats and 1 bearded dragon. I’ve owned multiple dogs my entire life, but the last 25 years I’ve always kept at least 2 dogs and 3 cats at all times. I’ve cared for kidney failure with cats, and dogs in failing health due to age, along with blindness. Before becoming a childcare provider, I worked as a Vet assistant for 3 years, so I took in valuable information during that time that my animals and family animals have benefited from. I’m currently staying home after working full time away from home for the last 5 years. After closing my daycare, I obtained my BA in Psychology and jumped right into working as a Project Engineer in construction. While it was fulfilling, my children required a more flexible schedule for tennis matches and mornings with me. I am able to house sit, my children are fine with me being away for a week or so in the morning, but the continual mornings for 5 years was too much after having access to me 24/7 their entire childhood. I have family support for them, so that frees up my schedule, so I flexible to care for animals at different times day and night. I own a home with a fenced in yard with grass and room to play. I utilize additional temporary fences for added protection for smaller dogs. Inside we utilize baby gates because our young cats have decided that our boxer isn’t their friend, so they take up the bedroom side of the house, avoiding him and that makes their life easier. I also utilize my parents fenced in yard that is 15 minutes away for long stretches of grass to run and play. Their yard is massive and great for pups that need to get out a little extra energy. I am all about the extra caution when it comes to my own babies and yours.
About: Hi, I’m Ruth! Dogs have always been my thing. I’m the person who ends up talking to the dog at the party before I talk to the people. 😂 I have over 12 years of experience caring for pets and have worked with everything from energetic puppies to reactive dogs who need a patient and confident handler. I believe every walk should be more than just a potty break—it’s exercise, enrichment, and quality time. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality, and I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I fall in love with every dog I meet, and yours will be no exception. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. currently provide care in my clients’ homes and neighborhoods rather than my own. I understand that many dogs feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I’m happy to come to you. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I’ll keep you updated along the way so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I previously worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years so I've worked and handled almost every breed you can think of.Im able to administer medication and I've taken care of senior dogs as well I'm currently on the job hunt so I have open availability thank you for considering me for watching your fur baby.Have a great day I currently live in a back house at my parents house,there is plenty of space for your fur baby to roam and I have a water fountain available at all time
“Natalee was super flexible - came over to meet our dogs before we booked with her, and came over when just the dogs were home, all with good humor and kindness. She played with and walked the dogs, and put up with constant demands for attention and petting from them throughout her time with them. We will certainly have her back. Do not hesitate to book Natalee.”
About: I have had, and taken care of, many dogs in my life. From big dogs, to small dogs, and senior dogs of both kinds, I have experience with it all. Every dog is my favorite dog, and I can’t wait to meet your best friend! :) I am currently in school as well as working part time, however I live quite close to both, so I do spend a frequent amount of time in my home, meaning I’ll be available for your pup at almost all times. I live with three other roommates, so perfect if your dog loves attention, and I am well equipped to walk your dogs as far as they may need to go to be relatively worn out. I let animals snuggle and cuddle with me, but I can help with any training they may specifically have.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been a huge part of my family. I helped raise and train my older dog, who is now 14 years old, and she’s still healthy, happy, and full of energy. I also have a younger dog who’s almost a year old, so I’m very familiar with caring for high-energy puppies and keeping up with their training, exercise, and playtime. Whether a dog is a playful puppy or a calm senior, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care as if they were my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I care for my own dogs every day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention, so adding more pets to my schedule feels natural. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s a quick walk or extra time to play and keep them company, I’m happy to fit each pet’s needs into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions to make sure their pet feels comfortable and safe. I’ll provide fresh food and water, take them on walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respect your space by leaving everything just as I found it. My goal is to give your pet the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dogs so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“What can I say?!? Michelle went above and beyond. Our dog Pliny got sprayed by a skunk during the booking, and without missing a beat Michelle bathed her well, started washing the towels and blankets, and kept us posted through the whole thing. She took good care of her, and we appreciate her dealing with this very awful event. Highly recommend! Thanks again Michelle!”
About: I truly love animals and your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!

Lynn did an outstanding job caring for our two COVID rescue dogs, who are very unsocialized and typically only feel comfortable around my husband and me. Leaving them with someone else was a big deal for us, but Lynn was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and understanding of their needs. She kept us updated every day with videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My husband and I felt confident that our girls were in good hands, receiving the patience, attention, and loving care they needed. Lynn truly went above and beyond to keep them comfortable and well cared for. If you are looking for a genuine, knowledgeable, and trustworthy pet sitter, hire Lynn! We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our girls, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. Thank you, Lynn!!! Overall Rating: 5 stars. I would give her 10 stars if I could!!!
Elizabeth did a wonderful job with our two girls. She stayed the week while we were on vacation and sent us texts and pics of our girls enjoying their time with her. We returned to find two very happy girls and a tidy house. We will continue to call on Elizabeth for future trips.
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!
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!
Angelina was absolutely wonderful. She is friendly, responsible, caring, and very professional. I came home to a house that was actually cleaner than when I left, which was such a nice surprise. Most importantly, my dog was happy, safe, and clearly well cared for. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks, stayed on the feeding schedule exactly as instructed, and felt comfortable the entire time. It meant a lot knowing my dog was not only looked after, but genuinely cared for and comforted. Angelina also sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in East Foothills is $76 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $121 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
Tip: 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Foothills. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
