About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time

Thomas has been incredible with my dogs. He goes above and beyond to ensure this is a good fit! He is incredible at matching their energies and has been SO incredibly patient with my dog who is very reserved and protective at the beginning. He’s managed to make so much progress with him! He has been very communicative with us and asking and answering all the important questions. It has made a huge difference in my level of comfort, knowing I can trust him with my dogs. I really appreciate all the detailed updates and pictures he sends us even though I may not answer immediately because I’m at work. These updates ease my worries! He is very good with my high energy, big dog and they have responded well to him I also really appreciate the amount of detail he places in my written instruction and requests. I continue to look forward to his weekly visits with my dogs

Chloe came by to our apt 2x day to take care our cat while we were away for 3 days. She stopped by a couple weeks prior to meet us, him and go over the directions for his care. She was quick to reply to messages during the time of booking and throughout. She did a great job keeping out place tidy and our cat looked well taken care of when we returned and on the update photos. Would reach out to Chloe again in the future.

Veronica was amazing! She took such great care of my pup, Lilo, and was an absolute lifesaver. She provided regular updates, made sure Lilo had everything she needed, and even took her for walks. Veronica truly went the extra mile, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided. I will definitely be booking with her again. If you’re thinking about booking Veronica, don’t hesitate—she’s fantastic!

About: I've been a devoted pet caregiver for 9 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. Over the past year, I've also gained hands-on experience raising my own energetic Border Collie, who is now 10 months old and about 44 lbs. Through daily training, walks, playtime, and caring for a high-energy puppy, I've developed a deeper understanding of dogs' physical and emotional needs. I know that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or senior, I always provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also enjoy sending detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm currently an MBA student and have just completed my first year. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. During the school year, my classes are primarily in the evenings, allowing me to continue providing reliable daytime care with minimal scheduling conflicts. Because I currently rent my home, I'm unable to offer boarding services. However, I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: Your doggo will be treated like a member of the family and I will be sensitive to whatever your pup needs. I know that dogs each have their own personalities and will accommodate care to fit what makes them comfortable. We watch only one dog at a time so your dog will have our undivided attention. I am a part-time teacher that is home by 11:00am. My husband is home in the morning. The rest of the day is spent in my art studio. In the evening I usually go for a long walk. Most weekends are spent at home relaxing with family. We have a cozy condo that is dog friendly and a sunny deck for warm naps. We live close to Alameda Creek Trail which is where we take frequent walks. I will try and follow the routine that your dog is used to as close as possible. If you're doggie is staying with us overnight, I will send lots of updates and daily pictures. We don't have any other pets or small children so, the home is quiet and calm. I only sit one dog at a time so your dog will receive our undivided attention while visiting.

Katherine took excellent care of my cats for approximately three weeks through drop-in visits. She is incredibly supportive, accommodating, and helpful. Her dedication to the pets is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond to resolve my litter robot sensor issues. Her exceptional skills are evident in her ability to perfectly fit the trash bags into the litter robot can. I highly recommend her services!

About: I have several years of experience helping taking care of family and friends dogs, as well as my own. I have a lot of experience with walking, feeding and making sure dogs get lots of love and attention. When I had my own dog I always made sure to prioritize walking her and finding new things to teach her. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to fit pet care into my schedule, throughout the week. I currently work part-time, which gives me free time, especially on the weekend. I keep my calendar updated and only accept booking I know I can commit to. I am currently only offering dog walking and check-in visits. During visits, I will closely follow each owners instructions to make sure their dogs stay on their normal schedules including walking, playing and giving them food and water. I prefer to connect with clients beforehand so I can make sure I understand the dogs specific needs and send lots of updates throughout the visit.

About: As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, cats are a central part of my life. I routinely pet-sit for friends during their travels, which has given me extensive experience managing multi-cat households. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and know how to handle everything from energetic play to managing separate feeding schedules and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs time to warm up, they are in safe hands. For the pups, I am all about staying active! I am the go-to hiking and jogging buddy for my friend’s Golden Retriever, so I am well-versed in handling various breeds. My flexible work-from-home schedule blends seamlessly with pet care, allowing me to easily step away for reliable morning cat drop-ins or mid-day dog walks while giving your pets the consistent attention they need. As an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, tennis, and Pilates, I have the natural stamina and energy to match active breeds like Golden Retrievers, Doodles, or Corgis on the trails, yet I deeply cherish the quiet, grounding moments—whether that's practicing a workout with a kitty on the mat or providing patient companionship for a shy cat. Because I love to travel myself, I understand exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I am dedicated to providing the ultimate peace of mind with prompt communication and plenty of happy photo updates. When caring for your cats in the comfort of your own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routines to minimize any stress while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything from meticulous litter box scooping to pristine feeding areas is kept exactly as you like it. I know that cats are creatures of habit who feel safest in their own territory, so I tailor my visits entirely to their unique comfort levels—whether that means engaging an energetic breed with interactive toys, giving gentle chin scratches, or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence nearby for more independent kitties. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your cats are receiving dedicated, loving care, complete with detailed updates and plenty of photos after every single visit.

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!

About: Loving & Experienced Dog Care in a One-Dog-Only Home I grew up in a dog-loving home where we took in stray dogs and gave them the love and care they deserved. Over the years, I’ve cared for more than 10 dogs—puppies, seniors, and even sick dogs—so I understand the unique needs of dogs at every life stage. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they eat well, get plenty of exercise, rest comfortably, and feel safe and happy. Here’s what your pup can expect in my care: 🐾 Meals – I’ll follow your feeding instructions with the food you provide. 🐾 Play & Walks – Outdoor time every 4 hours to stretch, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air. 🐾 Cozy Sleep – A clean, comfy dog bed just for them. 🐾 Updates – I’ll send real-time photos and videos, so you can check in anytime. 🐾 Special Needs – Whether it’s medication, a special diet, or extra playtime, I’m happy to accommodate. To give every dog the best care and attention, I only host one dog at a time. Your pup will get all the love and care they deserve in a safe and stress-free environment. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—feel free to reach out with any questions! I spend most of my weekdays at home reading and taking online courses, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. Your pup will have my full attention, ensuring they get the love, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. On weekends, my almost two-year-old daughter is home, and my husband and I love taking her out to burn off some energy. Your dog will be part of our little family adventures, just like a second baby to us! We usually visit different parks, giving them plenty of fresh air, exercise, and new experiences. Daily Schedule for Your Pup if Boarding ⏰ Morning: Wake-up, potty break, and breakfast 🐾 Mid-Morning: Playtime, walk, or outdoor break 🛏 Noon: Relaxing time or nap in a cozy space 🐕 Afternoon: Another outdoor break and playtime 🍽 Evening: Dinner followed by a short walk/outdoor break in backyard 🌙 Night: Wind-down time and final potty break before bed Let me know if your pup has a specific schedule or needs! I live in a 2B2B house with a fenced backyard. The fence height is confirmed to be tall enough to prevent dogs from jumping out. Dogs are welcome in every space of the house. There is air conditioning in the summer, heating in the winter, an air purifier indoors, and I provide filtered water for dogs to drink.

Xueying took excellent care of our cat, Leia, and we had a wonderful experience with her. She was dependable, attentive, and kept us well informed throughout each visit. She made an extra effort to keep Leia comfortable and engaged, even bringing along toys for them to play with. Leia warmed up to her very quickly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would be happy to have Xueying care for Leia regularly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy pet sitter.

Shirley took great care of our cats while we were away.

It was clear they were comfortable with her, and we really appreciated the extra care she put into everything. We’d definitely book with her again.

This was our first time using Rover to find someone to check in on, feed, and care for our cat, Potato, while we were traveling outside the country for two weeks. We were a little nervous leaving him for that long, but Chenqi (and her husband, Zhaohan) made the entire experience easy and worry-free. Every day, they arrived reliably, fed Potato, cleaned his litter box, refreshed his water, and even spent time playing with him so he wouldn't feel so lonely while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared about his well-being and weren't just stopping by to complete a checklist. Chenqi and Zhaohan were also excellent communicators. They kept us updated with messages and photos (which were great because we missed seeing Potato more with each passing day), paid close attention to Potato's behavior, and even alerted us when they noticed a small change in his appearance. They also kept us informed about his litter box habits, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Their attentiveness made it clear they were truly looking out for him, not just completing the basics. Since this was the first time we'd ever been away from Potato for this long, we were especially anxious during the first few days of our trip. Chenqi and Zhaohan quickly put those worries to rest. Knowing they have cats of their own made it even more reassuring—they clearly understand cats and treated Potato with the same love and care they would give their own. We wouldn't hesitate to book Chenqi and Zhaohan again. Having such trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable sitters means we can travel in the future knowing Potato is in excellent hands. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 13,522 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fremont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fremont stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
