“Bre’anna is super kind and attentive. She always leaves my apartment cleaner than when she found it too. My cat is shy and doesn’t always like strangers but she’s warming up to Bre’anna and seems comfortable with her when I’m gone. I feel comfortable knowing Penny is in great hands and rebook Bre’anna every time I’m gone!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and have spent years caring for and fostering pets for friends, family, and other pet owners. I have experience with pets of all ages, from young kittens and puppies to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I respect each pet’s individual needs, routines, and boundaries, and I pay close attention to their behavior to help them feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love animals and take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or quiet time. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never short on affection! I provide care in both my own home and clients’ homes, always prioritizing each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for wherever they are.
“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”

“We booked drop in visits while we were traveling for our two 45-50lb dogs. Fanqi did awesome taking plenty of photos, sharing updates, and tracking their bowel movements. She was also respectful of the house when entering and leaving. She's great.”

“Katerinne was incredible! Very communicative, and provided plenty of updates of my kitty. She had a lot of flexibility in her schedule, and was able to do a pre-booking meet and greet which relieved some anxiety I had about my cat meeting someone new. I would absolutely recommend Katerinne to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Appreciate Flora for taking our last minute request and drop in for our cat Reggae over weekend. Communication with her was prompt and easy, and she did a great job taking care of Reggae. She also took some of the best looking cat pics. Thank you Flora!”

“Stacey is our go to whenever we need someone to help us with our feline family when we must be out of town! She really goes above and beyond to help take care of our pet and always shows extra love and care to our cat. When we know Stacey is caring for him we know he will be treated like family. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends if they ever need a pet sitter! She always adapts flawlessly to any strange situation that may come up with getting into the home and is very knowledgeable about animals. If I could give ten stars I would!”

About: I graduated pre-veterinarian in school at BU and have cared for dogs to some capacity my whole life. From friends to family, I’ve never met a dog or cat I didn’t like! I work from home east coast hours and my schedule is very calm so I would love to have some company and take ample play-time breaks throughout the day! I have toys and a wonderful pet blanket ready to be used! I live in a secure apartment complex that is completely pet-friendly and even has a pet park in the building! I will care for your pup/kitty as if they were my own & make them as welcomed as possible in my 2 bedroom home.
About: **Too much for daycare? Too important to leave with just anyone?** Hi, I'm Whinde. I specialize in calm, structured care for dogs who don't thrive in busy daycare environments. Many of the dogs I work with: • get overwhelmed in group settings • are anxious, reactive, or sensitive • were asked to leave daycare (it happens, no judgment) • simply do better with calm, one-on-one attention I'm professionally trained in canine behavior, so I bring real structure and calm leadership to every visit, not just a leash and good intentions. My focus is helping dogs feel safe, regulated, and understood instead of overstimulated. ✅ Large and powerful breeds ✅ Sensitive or anxious dogs ✅ Working and high-drive dogs ✅ Puppies through seniors ✅ Strong leash pullers (yes, even that one) **Services** • Decompression walks • Drop-in visits • In-home sitting If your dog struggles in daycare, on walks, or with overstimulation, this is exactly what I work with. Every new client starts with a meet & greet, so your dog gets to know me before I ever walk through the door alone. After that, start with one visit. You'll see the difference. 🐾 I am currently working from home, and I make my own schedule M-F. I am also available on the weekends with a very flexible schedule. I train dogs too! Ensuring safety, trust, and a home-like environment for your pet, following your instructions meticulously. Your pet's well-being and your home's security are my top priorities.
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”

About: My mom and I are avid dog lovers and have been dog sitting/walking for 10 years, since moving to California from Chicago. Although two of our furry babies have crossed the rainbow bridge, we continue to work with dogs because they bring us so much joy. We used to be very active dog sitters in the South Bay area until we moved to Fremont 2 years ago. We’re now back in the San Jose area and would love to offer our dog walking services again. We know how hard it is to be away from your pups, especially now that more companies are implementing a return to office policy, but it’s even harder on our furry friends. We want to relieve some of the stress and anxiety your pet feels when you’re away, even if it’s just with a walk and some playtime during the workday. Our clients have always been extremely delighted with the level of care, attention, promptness, and responsibility we provide. We look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Our schedule is super flexible because either my mom or I can schedule walks, with my mom having more flexibility on the weekdays due to her retired status and me being able to walk on weekends or you'll get the both of us. It's something we enjoy doing together as it gives us a chance to spend more time together while enjoying the fresh outdoors and giving your pup two new friends. During walks, we make sure your pet is leashed at all times. If they enjoying playing fetch, we go to a fenced in park so they can run to their hearts content without fear of escape. Until we get to know your pup's personality or temperament, we'll steer clear from other doggos during our walks.
About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending calm, attentive time with animals and focusing on their comfort and routine. I currently live with a family dog, which has given me ongoing experience with daily care and understanding pet behavior. In the past, I also cared for a hamster, which taught me responsibility and consistency with small animals. I am especially attentive during drop-in visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m a recent graduate currently volunteering with Animal Assisted Happiness on Sundays, with times that vary. I also receive training through San Jose Animal Care Center. My schedule is generally flexible outside of these commitments, and I’m available for drop-in pet care during the week and on other days. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets (including litter boxes or pads if needed), and spend time with them through companionship and light play. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.
About: I love spending time outside and staying active, so I'm happy to tailor walks to your dog's energy level, whether they need a fast-paced workout or a gentle neighborhood patrol. As a proud parent to two very fluffy, cozy cats, I know how vital midday attention and routine are to keeping pets happy while you're working. I’m here to give your pets quality care, fresh air, and affection. Working from home allows me to step away for midday walks and drop-in visits, giving your pets the attention, fresh air, and routine care they deserve while giving us both an energizing break in the day. Whether caring for dogs or cats, building trust and ensuring pets feel comfortable with me in their space is always my top priority. I'll take the time to move at your pet's pace, earn their confidence, and provide a safe, refreshing break in their day. For dogs, I love tailoring activities to their energy level - whether that means playing fetch in the backyard, taking a relaxed walk around a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood loop, or setting out for a longer trek along the Los Gatos Creek Trail. For cats, I always start by ensuring their essentials are taken care of - making sure they have a tidy space along with plenty of fresh food and water. Once they're settled, I offer engaging mental stimulation through interactive play or gentle, quiet cuddle sessions tailored to their personality.
“Rachel took great care of my senior dog who lacks the mobility to walk and stand! She was accommodating towards my last minute request. I will definitely book Rachel again.”


About: My husband and I have a quiet, loving home with just the two of us—and a new puppy joining our family in November! We’re both animal lovers, and my husband loves being involved in caring for our furry guests. I typically host one dog at a time, unless dogs are from the same family, so your pup gets plenty of individual attention from both of us rather than having to share our time with multiple unrelated pets. We especially love spending time with young, energetic dogs who enjoy playtime, walks, and lots of interaction. At the same time, our calm home is a wonderful fit for older dogs or pups who prefer a quieter pace. We’re happy to follow each dog’s routine and personality, whether that means an active day of exploring or a cozy afternoon relaxing by our side. I want every dog who stays with us to feel like they’re part of our family, not just a guest being boarded. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your pup receives plenty of companionship, individual attention, and care throughout their stay. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. We’ll have time for walks, play, potty breaks, and cuddles, with quiet time for naps and relaxing. My husband is also home during part of the day and loves helping with our furry guests, so your pet gets attention from both of us. We have a quiet, calm home with just my husband and me, and I only care for one guest dog at a time. This allows us to give your pet our full attention and keep their routine comfortable and predictable. We have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I carefully monitor dogs indoors and outside. We’re happy to accommodate different needs—from playtime and exercise for young, energetic dogs to a peaceful, slower-paced environment for older dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitdale
Teresa did an excellent job of taking care of and winning over my scaredy-cat, Aggie! Teresa sent updates and lots of beautiful pictures of Aggie. She brought in mail and packages, as well as handling the garbage/recycling bins in and out to the curb. Finally, when her schedule was booked up for upcoming Thanksgiving time, she recommended some other River pet sitters. I really appreciate how kind, professional and considerate Teresa has proved to be. 🐱
Likang is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of Bella. She spent time playing with her and sent me tons of pictures and videos so I could see how Bella was doing. But what impressed me the most was how attentive and proactive she was. She noticed Bella was scratching herself and took the initiative to gently clean her eyes and ears, and gave me amazing recommendations! She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely loves animals, and it really shows in the way she takes care of them. I would trust her 100% with Bella and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Nicole has been so great with our new puppy! Having a young puppy is really hard the first few weeks and having Nicole come to give me a small break has been amazing. Our puppy Remy immediately fell in love with her! Nicole is responsible, safe, and very attentive- We are lucky to have found her!

Ching-Chi was wonderful! She always arrived on time and took great care of my cat. She checked everything carefully and gave her medication promptly whenever needed. She was reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
Ni is a gem! She cared for our two cats while we were away for several weeks and I am very grateful for her care and attention. Our boy is shy but once he gets going, very playful, and she quickly put him at ease and played with him extensively during her visits, and he was clearly eager and excited for her visits. Our other usually hides the whole time anyone new is in the house, but Ni was calm and kitty-boundary-respecting, which set her at ease so that she was even coming out at Ni's visits and engaging. Ni gave great updates and I felt very reassured at all times. My highest recommendation and gratitude!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fruitdale is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,348 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fruitdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fruitdale. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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.
