About: I’ve had countless pets growing up, as my mom regularly rescues street dogs. We care for them until they get placed in shelters. I’ve been taught to handle all types of dogs from super energetic to calm dogs. I'm currently a senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. I'm always available on weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm, except Thursdays where I’m available anytime after 1pm. I’m very observant of dog’s behavior and try to match their energy, while keeping their environment as stress free as possible. My number one priority is always your dogs safety and ensuring they are comfortable
“Had to ask Rachel last minute to look after my cat after a 7 hour flight delay. She responded quickly and was able to drop by immediately to take care of my cat! Great response time and glad I could rely on her in a pinch.”
“Isabel is great with dogs. My Rotti immediately took to her and even left me to walk down the street with her (which is highly unusual for this mama’s boy). She is kind and I would recommend her”
“Austin is responsible, warm and caring to our girls. He comes to our house and feeds them breakfast and plays with them. They enjoy their time with him, and I feel secure that they are taken care of.”
“Ian is amazing! I feel so lucky to have found him and that he was available over Memorial Day weekend. He dropped in 2x a day to hang out with my kitty Butternut. Ian was great in keeping Butternut engaged and cared for. He sent pictures and videos everyday which were adorable. 5 stars all around!”
About: I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was 10 around my neighbourhood and for friends and families! I also grew up with dogs in my family I am currently home for the summer from college, until August 31st, I have tons of flexibility! I am happy to help out in the mornings and evenings/overnight stays. I care for the pets by making sure they get their needs as requested. Including walks for dogs and making sure they feel as seen as possible. I also care for cats as well.
About: I live with my wife, baby girl, cat, and dog in Palo Alto. At home, I am the CPO (chief poop officer). I've experience with administering flea medicine for cats and dogs. I make sure the pets have food and water. I've trained my current and past dogs (sit, stay, go home, come, leave it, look at me, and other commands). I am responsible and clean up after the animals whether it's poop or vomit. Furry animals make me happy. I'm extroverted, so I am also social and easy to communicate with. I can care for your pet as long as I'm available. I've a flexible work schedule, and am on holiday for two weeks starting the week of Christmas. I have a cat and dog that likes to run out of the door, so I am careful when going in and out of the house. I'd do the same for you. I make sure they've food and water. If the dog goes on a hike where there are tall grass, then I'd check for ticks after the walk and use a tweezer to remove the tick if needed. If the cat or dog has its tail between its legs, then I'd approach slowly and walk around them to not make them too uncomfortable. If the cat's tail is up and approaches, then I give him/her a scratch on the head or chin. If dog's tail is wagging, then I'd definitely pet him/her. If the pet has dietary restrictions, then I will follow the owner's dietary guideline.
“Danielle was wonderful with my two kitties! She played with them a lot, and they really warmed up to her in a short time (rare for one of them who is very shy). She took great care of them and was also detailed with her communication and took great pics which was very comforting to me while I was away from my kitties.”
“If you’re reading reviews looking for a sitter, just stop and book Marisol. We hired her to watch our dog Daisy during 3 day trip and couldn’t be happier. She was super COVID aware (gloves, mask, no shoes inside the apartment), and very attentive. Went out of her way to clean, and gave Daisy tons of attention and care. Daisy has sensitive paws, and Marisol did a great job making sure Daisy’s socks were on when they went out for play time. When we decided to extend our trip she was perfectly accommodating and able to do an extra day. Her update photos of Daisy were awesome as well ? Will 100% hire again during our next trip!”
“Anastasiia was very communicative and handled the cat care very well. she even stayed extra long to play with them some days. she also vacuumed the house at the nice, appreciate the small touches! will definitely be rebooking with her and totally recommend to book.”
“Lisa took such great care of Scoot & Dusty! She was attentive and helpful, providing great updates and pictures. Scoot even allowed many belly rubs (a great honor!) Nothing but good things to say 🥰”

“Josie(Ka) was really easy to communicate and kind to take care of our indoor cat and outdoor cat. She not only just did the regular routine but tried to play with our cat with his favorite treat catching game. We can see our cat got along with Josie after a few visits and started anticipating Josie’s visit. We will definitely book again with Josie next time.”

East Palo Alto cat parents share their Rover experiences
Katelyn was absolutely incredible with my two cats! She did a fantastic job feeding and playing with them, and she sent tons of wonderful photo updates that totally put my mind at ease. On top of that, one of my kitties had a messy bathroom accident, and she went above and beyond to clean everything up.
Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!
This was our first time having Rachel look after our boys! She did an excellent job and was stellar with her questions and attention to detail. She had questions for us about details we forgot on our OWN cat instructions. If you are looking for a new cat sitter - look no further!
Ally was so great taking care of our senior cat. He needs medication and some extra care so having Ally give him the right attention was important to us. Ally gave us detailed updates and pictures throughout our vacation which helps us know our cat is well taken care of. Highly recommend Ally for any pet care.
This was our first time using Rover for our cat while we were away on a weekend trip. We are beyond pleased with Anna’s care during her drop in visits. She was kind enough to spend time with our cat before the trip so he was used to her and she became familiar with his routine. While we were away she provided thorough updates and plenty of images to ease our minds. We were happy to see so many pictures of our cat playing with Anna and getting all the pets. We will plan to book with Anna again for any future trips.
