About: I've been doing Drop in visits and walking in the Almaden area for 4 years and now I live in Gilroy. Looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your furry friends. Dogs and Cats 👍 ( I do not offer boarding✌️) I have a sheep farm and can step away at my leisure with proper scheduling. I found dog care/walking to be an excellent fit for me. I'm pretty flexible but I work best with a schedule. (I do not offer boarding✌️) The safety and well-being of your family and home is paramount. I have many references, I like to get in get the job done and get out🫡

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular care, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat prefers a quiet check-in, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and give pets the care and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication instructions when needed. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. 🐾

About: I have always loved and cared about all animals. I currently own 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a tarantula, and fishes. I am currently a veterinary assistant student and will be pursuing a vet tech degree right after! I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family friends would let me walk their dog around the neighborhood. Although I don't own any dogs currently, on my free time i go to the san martin animal shelter and do doggy day out. I take dogs on a field trips out of the shelter whether it is a hike, a day at the beach, or just a walk at a park. I work part-time and am part time student, which gives me some flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. I’m available on weekends and can plan around my work and school commitments. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection! My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”


About: I grow up with dogs and pets in my home and animals have always been a big part of my life. Having had a senior dog myself has taught me a lot so I have a lot of experience administrating medications and routines. But also we now have a puppy that is full of energy and have a very different and varied personality and routine. I had the opportunity to work with all types of dogs and cats. From all ages and breeds. I’m a full time dog sitter and I love it. So when I have a booking and spend all of my time with them, walking, playing, training, napping, meals, etc. I love go take pictures and videos that I send my clients so they can see what I’m doing. I have a puppy of 6 months that it’s super sweet and loving. He will make sure your dog has an amazing play time with us. We live in front of a park that is perfect for walks and play time.
“Phoenix was super caring and attentive with my two kitties. She really took her time and reached out with any questions. My kitties really took to her and appreciated all the love and pets. She made sure to document any health concerns she saw and she kept my place tidy! Thank you again for everything and for keeping my kitties loved on and healthy during my holiday travel.”

“Angelina took care of our cat with diabetes while we were out for a weekend. She was detail oriented, and gave him his medication and insulin shots, along with a lot of love! She was very prompt in communication, and gave us regular updates.”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have spent my whole life caring for dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs, two chickens, and eight cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and pet care needs. I’ve also been dog walking for the past year, gaining hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. My background in childcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness, which I bring into caring for animals as well. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always strive to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student, and my classes only take up about an hour each weekday morning, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day! Outside of school, I love staying active, going on walks, and spending time at home. Because of this, incorporating pet care into my daily routine feels like a perfect fit! Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or spending quality time with your pet at home, I have the time and flexibility to give them plenty of attention and care. I live alone in an apartment in the heart of downtown Campbell, with access to a fully fenced front and backyard that are private and only accessible to me. Although I have pets of my own, they live at my family home, so any animals staying with me will have a comfortable space without other pets around! I’m also just a five-minute walk from Los Gatos Creek Trail and close to several local parks, making it easy to incorporate walks and outdoor time into our daily routine. My biggest priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routines they’re used to at home. Whether your pet is crate-trained, prefers to free roam, or has specific dietary or medical needs, I’m happy to accommodate their individual requirements and follow your instructions closely. I plan to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, working around my school schedule and their needs. I’m also more than happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands! For house sitting and drop-in visits, I bring that same level of attention and respect to your home, making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible.
About: I love dogs and dogs love me. Live with many dogs and took care and house trained them. I love to go on walks,!and house sit these log bugs. It brings me joy to support and be in service to families. I Owned a cat for 16 years and then as an adult I have cat sit before. Cats often take time and adjustment to a new energy. So I allow the cat to come to me. I am an online energy healer/life coach and so I work daily on a computer and can be flexible with routine. I would consult and agree to the time needed daily or weekly with the pet care I like to ask for a printed out routine or schedule. Emergency contacts and possible things to do around the house so when the owner comes home they can relax and have everything still flowing in the house.
“Fuliang did a great job. I felt my cat Alba was well cared for. I got a nice detailed report on the last day. Could have used a picture of my cat everyday but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer and will use this sitter again for my pet sitting needs.”

About: Being a previous doggie owner who I raised from puppyhood, I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life, and of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of livestock, I owned a horse, and have lived on a goat and chicken farm. I connect very much with animals of all kinds and am happy to give them love, nourishment, exercise and comfort. I am unable to have a doggie or kittie of my own right now so having the honor of caring for your furry family member gives my life meaning and enrichment <3 I am going to school currently online through a college out of San Fransisco. The rest of the time I have free to spend with your animal and take care of your home! I like to wake up early and go for a walk and have plenty of time between study sessions to go on walks and care for your pet. I will give regular walks, feed at the same time each day and offer a lot of cuddles and support. I know sometimes animals can feel anxious when their person is away..being a previous dog owner I understand that and I will treat your pet with the upmost consideration for their feelings and do everything to help them relax while their people. :)

“Eleanor was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. She was friendly and open and very supportive with us, and a very kind and thoughtful companion to our cat when we left. We absolutely appreciated and loved the daily communication from her, including pictures. When we needed an extra day of help she was also very amenable and willing to come in. When we came back from a long day of traveling we were thrilled to see that the place looked better than we had left it -- Eleanor really picked up after herself and our cat and everything was looking great. I would not hesitate to recommend Eleanor to anyone who is needing a pet sitter.”
“Cat was lovely and took great care of my cat. I got daily photos, updates, and she was very patient with us when we had a series of the technical issues at the house. Highly recommend.”


About: Work From Home Sitter: I started caring for pets at 19 and have loved it ever since. I’ve lived with dogs and cats for years and have hands on experience from volunteering with 67 cats and 60 dogs at a rescue farm in Antalya, Turkey. I also pet sat while traveling the world, gaining experience with many breeds and personalities. I grew up in a farm with almost all the animals herding sheeps and cows . Friends trust me with their pets when they’re away, and I bring calm, patience, and genuine care to every animal I meet. I’ve used several platforms around the world for pet sitting, and you can find additional reviews about me on Workaway and Facebook. I also have a strong background in childcare I worked as a full-time au pair(childcare), caring for children safely and responsibly for four years across different families, parents trusted me with their children. I take care of pets like they're children they're both so speacial. I provide doggy daycare and have experience working with dogs with separation anxiety. Since I work from home, I can help with training, and if a dog cannot be left alone, I make sure they are always supervised. I’m still building my experience with puppies! 🐶 I’m happy to care for younger dogs who are house trained and have moved past the chewing and nipping stage. 🐾 All of my petsitting income supports the education of village girls in the mountainous regions of Eastern Turkey, including six girls my husband and I been supporting over the years some now continuing their studies in high school and university. Work From Home Sitter living near a dog park and walking trail: I work online from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I can easily stay overnight, or host the pets in my home visit during the day for walks and feed. My routine makes it easy for me to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and comfort throughout the day. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they don’t, I only accept one dog at a time. It’s important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. During my lunch break, I take the dog to the dog park or to Stevens Creek Trail near me. After I finish work, usually around 3:30 pm, we go out again. I can also work from your home if your pet needs extra company. Lastly, I live with my husband works from home a couple days a week and grew up with cats, dogs, and hamsters, so pets usually feel comfortable around him. I live in a clean, quiet townhouse with a small patio, and I create a calm environment for any pet I host. Since I work from home, I’m always nearby to check on them, give attention, and take them out for quick potty breaks throughout the day. I live close to the dog park and Stevens Creek trail if your dog is high energy and need play time. To provide the best care, I accept a maximum of two dogs at a time and always introduce them before accepting a second dog to make sure they get along. If they don’t, I only accept one dog at a time. It’s important to me that every dog has the best stay possible like a little vacation while their owner is away. I always inform the pet parents if they are okay with the second dog and if they are okay to have intruduction. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and keep routines consistent. I pay close attention to safety, doors and gates, feeding schedules, and your pet’s comfort. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same care I would give my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gilroy
My previous sitter relocated and I was nervous to have to look for a new trusted sitter for my furbabies. After our initial meet and greet, I was feeling happy and confident that my furbabies will be in good hands while I’m away. Tiali was attentive to my cats. She was also very responsive and communication went well between both parties. I came back to very happy cats and everything looked in order. Will definitely recommend to others as well as rebooking with her again.

I’m writing this review to help others who are looking for the perfect person to watch their precious fur babies. Like many of you, my pets are incredibly important to me. I have three indoor cats, including Luna, my “scaredy-cat” princess, who usually only likes my wife and I. My biggest worry was that Luna would be too terrified to eat while we were away. This is my first time using a pet-sitting app. I chose Trisha because she lives nearby, has cats of her own, and had great feedback. We had a wonderful meet-and-greet where she was punctual, attentive, and showed a genuine love for animals. Because our vacation was a month and a half away, I asked her to come over one more time right before we left to review the routine. She happily agreed, which really put my mind at ease. Trisha visited twice a day for one hour over seven days. She was incredibly reliable never missed a visit and sent daily reports with pictures. While Luna spent most of the time under the bed, Trisha used different feeding tactics to make sure she ate. By the end of the week, Luna actually came out of hiding for photos-which is huge for her! When we returned, the house was immaculate. The litter boxes were clean, and the floors were perfectly vacuumed of any tract litter. I am so relieved, and will definitely be using Trisha for all our future Pet setting needs!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.

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.
