“Trisha did a great job caring for our 3 kitties for a week. She left detailed notes on all the things she did, took our packages inside, and communicated clearly if there were any issues within our home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I have over a year of hands-on dog care experience and genuinely love working with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood while their parents are away. From active pups who need long walks to calm seniors who need gentle routines, I adapt my care to each dog’s needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and the amount of one-on-one time I give each dog. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules exactly as instructed. I provide playtime, enrichment, exercise, potty breaks, and lots of affection to keep your dog relaxed and happy. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and multi-pet households. You’ll always receive updates and photos so you can feel confident that your fur baby is getting loving, professional care. My pet care routine is structured around my full-time role at Labcorp (7 AM – 4 PM). I provide morning care before work, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed. After my shift, I return promptly for evening care, extended attention, walks, and overnight stays. Pets are never left without consistent care, and I provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions exactly as given feeding, walks, medications, and house rules to keep your pet on their normal routine. I always make sure pets are safe and secure, and I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and locked. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me.
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.
“Wendy was able to provide care for our 2 dogs and 1 shy cat in our home recently. We are grateful for her diligent work with our fur babies! I won't be worried about them on our next vacation, because I know Wendy will be caring for them as we would. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Excellent sitter. Very responsive and follows directions. Very helpful with helping to watch my cats and making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be requesting Stasha’s help in the future.”

“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!”

“We initially chose Tracey based on all her great reviews and returning clients. She was awesome taking care of our senior cat Brie. Tracey sent us daily updates with photos and videos. When our electricity was unexpectedly disrupted on a very hot day, she generously offered to take our cat to her home for care. This was truly going above and beyond her Rover requirements. We would not hesitate to hire Tracey again to care for any of our pets and we certainly plan to do so!”

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!
