“Ms, Maple Bar loooooved Ky from our first meet and greet to our first visit! I loved getting the visit notifications and Ky is an amazing photographer as well - she got some excellent photos from the visit too! Ky has a real affinity for taking care of Maple. I rest easy knowing that Maple is good hands with Ky.”
“Trisha was amazing with our doggies. We have a senior and puppy and she was so attentive to both their needs given their very different energy levels. We can’t wait to have her back. Also, worth noting is that she was punctual, responsive to chats, and gave very detailed notes regarding each visit. I felt at ease knowing we had a trustworthy person in our home caring for our dogs. (Thanks so much, Trisha. You were great! 💖)”
“I highly recommend Shirley to anyone seeking a nurturing pet care giver. Shirley is truly amazing. She clearly shows a sincere love for our pets. She always makes sure that both of our fur kids are well kept, exercised, and entertained. She fulfills her commitment and goes above and beyond expectations. She has clearly bonded with my dog. I will surely ask her to take care of Dexter during our future travels.”
About: I have taken care of many different types of pets such as cats, dogs, horses, snakes, hamsters, fish, and birds for family members, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I also have experience working at animal shelters around my city. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will be available during most hours of the day. I will follow any instructions on how you would like your pet to be taken care of and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise
“Sandi does such a great job watching our little Pomeranian who requires daily medication. I love the summary and photos she provides each visit. We know our pup is in good hands with Sandi while we are away. Thanks again Sandi!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and a good pup brings me joy. I have 1 dogs of my own that I love to take on long walks, hiking, and to the beach. I would love to share those experiences with your loved ones aka dogs!! I know we live in busy world and sometimes we need just a little help keeping the pups happy, please let me help so you don't have feel guilty for not taking your buddy out. A few things your dogs will experience while in my care are attention, love, affection, and of course some treats if you will allow. I am a very out going person and your pups will be in good hands. I am here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets to take on walks and more. I am available on weekends and weekdays. All dogs I for care will receive walks, snuggle time and more throughout the day, rather they are in my home or their home. Thanks
“Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!”
“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”
About: I’ve have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently have two 6 year old cats in my home, that I raised from kittens. Before them, I had a cat for 16 years and a beagle for nine years. As a child, we had multiple dogs and cats and there has been very little time I’ve spent in my life without a pet of some sort. I am open and flexible all days of the week as this is my only source of income. Same day appointments are also an option most days. I currently live in an apartment with my partner. Having a partner in my own home to be with our pets helps me to be more physically and mentally available for my clients, especially for house sitting jobs that may be long term.
“Angelina was the absolute best with our fur babies! We have one blind dog and a dog that is not super keen on strangers but they warmed up to her so quickly. Her communication was top notch and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: i have had dogs since i’ve been 6 years old and have had 5 at one point in time ! I Love them so much I am currently working part-time at a Bath and Body works store but am also waiting for my state board test to have aesthetician license ! Always paying attention making sure there well fed and have water ! As well as play time to be outside and get some energy out !!
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“Phoenix took great care of my 14 month old standard poodle. Our dog is a little standoffish with strangers (especially men), but Phoenix handled it well and it seemed like they got along well after taking some time to get to know each other.”
“Meghan did such an amazing job with our three dogs!!! She gave them all attention and individual love. All while sending us videos, pictures and updates of how they were doing!! We felt confident we picked the right person! Highly recommend and will definitely book her again!! Thank you Meghan!!”
“Tracey is 100% trustworthy and professional. Not only did my pets respond very well to her, she took notes and made sure everything was perfect. We will certainly be going to her as our first option!”
“Lisa is amazing! She bonded with Korra with their first meet up and will always give you details when she’s there, update you with pictures and make sure she tires them out before leaving. I highly recommend Lisa if anyone is looking for a sitter!”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for a variety of pets as well as having a love and passion for animals my whole life! I help neighbors, family, and friends watch their furry friends when they are in need. I love staying active and what better way than spending time with animals! I am currently on summer break so I have tons of free time throughout the week and weekends! I’m more than happy to be on call and available for walks, hikes, at home sitting, or anything else to help with your furry friends! I had two dogs myself and experience with all types of breeds! I actively care for my neighbors dog and cats whenever they are away on vacation throughout the year. I am reliable, attentive and compassionate about animals.

Gilroy cat parents share their Rover experiences
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!
