“Ian was AMAZING with Cooper. Cooper can be a challenging pup, but C warmed up to Ian quickly and soon I got photos of them taking long walks, playing fetch and snuggling watching TV.”


“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”


“Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!”


“We just had Austin stay with our Golden retreiver for the first time, and we and our dog had a great experience. Austin met with us before the stay, asked great questions and got to know our dog. He sent great updates and pictures while we were away, and our dog and our home we so well cared for. I had some major flight delays returning home, and Austin took it all in stride and stayed longer than anticipated with our pup. Highly recommend!”


About: I’m an animal-loving creative professional with a heart full of care for both cats and dogs. I’ve been around animals since childhood, and although I currently don’t have pets of my own, I care for others’ pets as if they were my own. Since 2017, I’ve cared for pets regularly, especially in the Silicon Valley area: I’ve looked after pets with different temperaments and routines – gaining deep experience with both playful pups and chill cats. At my own home in Mountain View, I continuously hosted and cared for cats and dogs – often back-to-back, month after month. Pet care isn’t just a service to me – it’s a source of joy, structure, and meaning. Walking a dog gives rhythm and purpose to the day. Feeding and grooming pets brings peace and presence. Cats remind me to slow down and be fully in the moment. My work is fully remote and flexible – I only need a peaceful environment and an internet connection. In fact, having pets around makes my work better – it brings balance to the screen-heavy nature of my profession. I take pride in being a very responsible and flexible sitter. I’m used to carefully following detailed instructions and adapting to each pet’s unique routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Because I work remotely and don’t spend time out of the house other than quick errands like grocery shopping, I can devote most of my day to being present with your pets and keeping them on their regular schedule. Beyond caring for animals, I’m also happy to look after the home itself. Whether it’s watering plants, tending to a garden, making sure mail doesn’t pile up, or simply keeping everything tidy and secure, I’ll ensure your home feels well cared for and lived in while you’re gone. My goal is to give both you and your pets peace of mind knowing that everything is in good hands.

“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”


“Caroline was a great find to care for our pet while we traveled for work. She was responsive, prompt to take up her duties and a fabulous pet photographer. Best pictures in years. She was also kind and attentive to our home which was much a ppreciated. Five stars — highly recommended.”


About: I’ve had all different kinds of pets ranging from turtles, bunnies, chickens, and dogs since I was 5 years old. My last dog was a small dog and I’ve sat big dogs in the past. I’m currently on summer break from my university and don’t have a part time or full time job so I’ll have lots of time to take care of any pups! My house is fenced, and I have a little goldfish pond I’m creating netting over top of. My chickens are in a contained area without outside access and I currently don’t have any other pets inside of my home, so the dog could be crated or left to roam around depending on whatever is preferred.

About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!

“We are so grateful that Yaho was able to take on our booking last minute! She made the process smooth from the start, taking the time to meet with us online, ask thoughtful questions, and really get to know our dogs’ needs. During the stay, she went above and beyond—keeping their routines consistent, giving them plenty of love and attention, and sending us regular photo updates that put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic, and to top it all off, she even brought our trash cans back in! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”


“Stephanie is so sweet and kind with our dogs that she had our most difficult boy in her arms a few minutes after she arrived. She took perfect care of our house and everything was exactly as we'd left it. Our three dogs had a wonderful time with Stephanie and we are so grateful for her wonderful help we've already booked her again!”


“Ciara stayed at my house and took care of my dog Doug while I was on a 5-day trip. She did an outstanding job. She was mature, responsible, and a great communicator-- I got regular updates and pictures by text. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed on time, and gave him play time. I felt very at ease being away, because she clearly had everything handled. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Danielle is a wonderful pet and house sitter. She kept me fully updated with multiple texts and photos. I was so comfortable knowing that Poppy was in her kind and skilled hands. The house was in perfect condition, too. I hope to have Danielle back many times.”


“Marina was an excellent dog sitter and house sitter. She showed so much care and enthusiasm for our dogs’ wellbeing and our girls loved her. ☺️ She took great care of our house as well. Would definitely recommend her and hope to utilize her services again whenever needed in the future.”


About: I grew up surrounded by animals and I have had dogs and cats as pets all my life. I genuily care for them, for their hapiness and well being. I respect their boudaries and I am mindful for their heatlh. I never skip playtime (including for cats, if they want to, of course), and part of my reward is receiving that wigly-tail and belly-up combo, and I think a purr is the best sound in the world. I am responsible, always on time, and have years of experience sitting pets, including senior dogs. I could do night care, weekends and even some hours during weekdays if close to my location. Really depends on each specific situation, but I am very flexible. I have a fenced area with over 400 sqft for playtime. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and safe, with an off leash park close by if desired. I have also taken dogs in hikes nearby on weekends for longer exercise time.

About: With a true love for animals and a dedication to their happiness, I strive to create a fun and safe environment for your pets. From playtime to cuddles, I personalize my services to fit each pet’s unique needs. Trust me to be the pet sitter who not only grabs your attention but also wins the hearts of your furry family members. Let’s make a pawsitively amazing experience together! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I can walk dogs during the day and do evening drop-ins. Cats are welcome too! I live near Palo Alto, which has a great area for playful dogs. We can jog together and have a blast. I can also sit your pets at your home. Please share any special needs or medications your pet may have. Bringing a blanket or some toys will help make my home even more welcoming for them. I work from home and can meet your scheduling needs. I’m very flexible. I can stay for extended periods of time house and pet sitting. I provide personalized care, ensuring pets feel loved and secure. With dedicated playtime, cozy resting areas, and attentive monitoring, I create a nurturing environment where every pet receives the individual attention they deserve.

“Ahmyah was a wonderful dog sitter for Max. She took care of him lovingly and the house while we were away. We could tell Max was having a great time as she shared pictures of him a long the way. Ahmyah is very responsible and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”


About: I am the go-to dog sitter for all my friends and family. For a couple hours, a day, or a week; I am a trustworthy caretaker for all loved animals. I love being outdoors and staying active, so taking care of pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day—whether it's for walks, check-ins, or just keeping your pet company.

East Palo Alto pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ahmyah has an instant rapport with our dog. She knew exactly what to do to make him comfortable. And she took good care of him and our house while we were away. She threw the ball for our dog, took him on walks, and sent us daily pictures. We came home to a calm and happy canine.

Austin is an incredibly thorough and conscientious dog sitter! We could tell immediately upon meeting him his interest in animals and his attention to detail. It is not easy trusting someone to care for your pets, but we have zero worries when Austin is watching our dog. He provides frequent updates and pictures, and even took an interest in practicing training with our dog. We are so grateful we found him!

I feel so lucky to have found Ian. Their love and caring soul is immediately perceptible and my dogs felt at home. They are super communicative; great at taking care of senior dogs on “Hermione level potions” of medications and food; adaptable to whatsapp if you’re out of the country and you get tons of videos and pictures. I think my Kimmie misses playtime with her pup friends there. I feel like Ian is a gem to be treasured as a dog sitter and will definitely use them in the future.

Kendall was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Ruby while we were away on family vacation for just over 2 weeks. Not only did she follow our routines for feeding and regular walks, but she also took wonderful care of our home--everything was clean, tidy, and in amazing shape after her time with us. She left our home in better shape than she found it and was great about sending pics and updates about our pup while we were away. What more could you ask for?! She was a delight to work with--kind, communicative, and with wonderful manners--and we sincerely hope she will watch Ruby any time we have need for a dog sitter in the future!

Ella was so sweet and wonderful with our boys. So thankful she was available last minute when we had an emergency flight change and she was adaptable and flexible in getting to our boys! She provided great updates and communication and we would love to have her back

Dominique was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She took great care of our dogs, including one who needs his meds administered on a specific schedule. Sent pics and akways replied to Ann questions I had. She was both responsive and responsible. Left the house in great shape. Highly recommend Dominique!

Hannah did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our dog Casper while we were away! She went above and beyond—not only giving Casper lots of love and attention, but also caring for our chickens and fish, and keeping the house spotless. We really appreciated the daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Casper looked so happy and relaxed in every picture! Hannah is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We highly recommend her and would gladly have her sit for us again!

Layla was great with our two dogs! They were very well cared for as was our garden, which needed watering while we were away. She left the house very clean and was very communicative, sending pictures to let us know everything was fine. I highly recommend Layla!!

Amy was sooo great! Super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole stay. I really appreciated how she left the house—everything was how we left it, and she even washed and remade the bed, which was such a nice surprise to come home to. But most importantly, I felt like I could fully rely on her and knew our cats were safe and happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next trip:)

Marin did dog sitting for your 4 month super energetic puppy (Cherry) and house sat as well. She was a pro at helping with the Cherry's playing, walking and all the schedule, including early morning wake-ups and other puppy craziness. Cherry was so happy with her. She house sat in addition to pet sitting and left the house in immaculate condition. 5 stars!

Caroline was a great find to care for our pet while we traveled for work. She was responsive, prompt to take up her duties and a fabulous pet photographer. Best pictures in years. She was also kind and attentive to our home which was much a ppreciated. Five stars — highly recommended.

Jozy was absolutely wonderful with my cat! From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely interested in getting to know my cat’s routine and personality. She gave my cat the perfect balance of attention and played with her too. Jozy provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat — always the best sign of great care! I highly recommend Jozy to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

Trina house-sat for us for a few days and took care of our dachshund Arwen. The house was in great order, and Trina did a great job with anything we needed. She was highly communicative, responsive, and helpful to ensure everything was handled appropriately. Of course, our little dachshund really enjoyed seeing her and was very happy when we came home.

Mara was amazing with our dog Teddy! She agreed to housesit to watch him for the weekend last minute and was so responsible and communicative. Teddy clearly loved his time with her and seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. We’re excited to have her watch him again soon!
