“Jason was great! He came over a few days before walking birdie to meet her and get aquatinted, which I appreciated. Birdie loved him and was very happy and tired when they got back from their walk!”
“Coralee is wonderful! The dogs love her, she is communicative and respectful. The other day I was on an important meeting and Coralee came in the house. She knew about the meeting and was super quiet even when one of my dogs would not come to her. She really read the situation and handled it beautifully! Thank you, Coralee!”
About: I have personal experience helping to train and walking reactive smaller dogs who need a confident and kind leader. I will be attending a PhD program in Clinical Psychology starting this fall and know the importance of catering to each soul individually whether it is a person or pet. I also have experience with older dogs who struggle with neurological issues know how important it is to ensure that the owner as well as the pet have piece of mind in their pet care. I am currently unemployed while I prepare for graduate school, therefore I am available each day of the week and can make any schedule work for me! I am always happy to meet your pet at their crate or at the door, whatever is most comfortable for them! I love to play enrichment games with my pets that engage their mind and body in order to help their cognition. A simple one I play with my sisters miniature schnauzer is putting his food under paper plates on top of a towel and he has to figure out how to access his food and he loves it! I always think a simple game after a walk is such a great way to tire them out on multiple levels!
“Cassidy is great! I always get thorough updates and she has been flexible with our last minute requests. She is very capable and experienced and I know my (sometimes anxious) pup is in good hands!”
About: Growing up, I've always had an affinity for animals. I've spent much of my life caring for my family's dog, and spending time caring for my neighbors' and friends' pets when they were away. I’ve got a senior cat of my own, and have also have spent time throughout the past several years caring for my friend's cat when she would travel frequently for work. I have experience administering medicine to cats, and am comfortable doing so for dogs as well. I am excited to be a part of Rover to spend time with more four-legged friends! I’m new to San Jose, and am especially excited to explore and be active outside with your furry family member. I also am available to provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I follow directions very carefully and will ensure to always keep your house clean. Happy to discuss any other precautions to take so that you and your pet are as safe as can be.

I make sure to follow all directions and protocols given as to not introduce any stress or confusion to your furry friends.
“I needed a last-minute dog walker for the week and Javante was so kind to help out! We weren’t able to meet beforehand, but he was very communicative and reached out with questions. Birdie seemed to love him as well! I appreciate his help and care for her so much.”
“Sydney was such a great help while I was visiting San Jose for a work trip. She was incredibly reliable, and I could tell Bandaid had a wonderful time with her. By the time I got back to the hotel after long workdays, he was always calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Thank you so much, Sydney. Wishing you all the best and Bandaid already misses you 🐾🫶🏻”
“Christopher was timely and communicated well. Sunny took to Christopher immediately during our meet & greet. I had no worries during my business trip. Will definitely hire Christopher again!”
About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.
“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
“A True Dog Professional - Highly Recommended! Whinde is simply amazing as a human, and more importantly, she is an incredibly skilled professional who deeply understands dogs and their specific needs, especially for medium/large sizes. We reached out to her with very short notice, and she was able to accommodate a meet-and-greet on the same day. She knew exactly how to approach our Labrador who is shy with strangers, putting him (and us!) immediately at ease. Her communication, engagement, and timing are excellent—I feel totally confident and know I can trust her with my fur baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I'm already becoming a repeat customer.”

I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, needs, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I truly love dogs and treat each one like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make a point to send regular updates and plenty of cute, silly photos so you can see how much fun your pup is having. I work about 10 minutes away from my home, so I will only be able to provide one potty break every four hours during the work week. Your dog MUST be okay with being alone/crated. Drop off times during the week MUST BE before 8AM. Or anytime after 5PM during the week. On the weekends, we can accomodate any time for you to pick up and drop off your dog. Please be aware I do live in a heavily dog populated neighborhood. So if your dog does not do well around other dogs, we may not be the right fit. Our first priority is ensuring your dog(s) and the dogs around us stay safe. We are a dog sitting couple! I work a standard 9–5 but I am very close to my home and can provide a potty break every four hours. (During my lunch break). We make sure pets get plenty of attention and care throughout their stay with us. DISCLAIMER: We live in a heavily dog-populated community. If your dog is not socialized and aggressive towards other dogs, our place will not be a good fit. We want to ensure dogs staying with us on Rover and the ones living here are safe. Drop off times during the week MUST BE before 8AM. Or anytime after 5PM during the week. On the weekends, we can accomodate any time for you to pick up and drop off your dog.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitdale
Claudia was so sweet to take my last minute request to walk my dog. She was on time and she was so attentive my baby girl. I met Claudia at a coffee shop a few weeks ago and she told me she used Rover, shared her booking link, and it came so handy yesterday where I needed a last minute walker. I see her profile is new, but she definitely experienced with dogs. Well definitely book her again. Thank you so much!!
Yumi is incredibly conscientious, thorough, and punctual. She asks all the right questions and pays close attention to even the smallest details. She also has a real sixth sense when it comes to animals and seems to understand how they are feeling and what they need. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in the right hands with her. I especially love the connection she has with Rio. Sometimes I feel like they must have met in another life. Their bond is genuinely special, and Rio gets so excited to see her. It is clear that he absolutely adores her.
Rachel was fantastic with our enthusiastic hound dog during our last getaway, so we booked her again for dog walks while we were out of town over the long weekend. Unfortunately, our pup developed an unexpected stomach issue the day we left. Rachel was extremely communicative and kindly worked with us as we assessed our dog's health and recovery. She was patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful—we were ultimately able to continue our vacation plans knowing that our dog was in great hands. We look forward to requesting Rachel’s help again during our next trip, and our dog does too!
Wenran was amazing with my dog! She was super patient and attentive, and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with him. I especially loved that she actually interacted with him and communicated with him throughout the stay, rather than just taking care of the basics. She was very caring and thoughtful, and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely book with Wenran again!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fruitdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
