House Sitting in Haywood Park, San Mateo

“Garrett was the absolute best! He was on time, friendly, kept me updated and my dogs had a blast. 10/10 will definitely be using Garrett again”

“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”

“Loren stayed with Figo for 3 nights and he had a great time with lots of care and snuggles. He even went on an exciting adventure. Figo will happily invite Loren to stay with him another time. Thank you!”

“Caroline is absolutely wonderful! She was prompt, showing up right on time. She was very patient with our dog, who is shy and slow to warmup to new people, and did all she could to make her feel comfortable. She kept us informed the entire time and sent photos and cute videos. We highly recommend her!”

“Xinzhi was perfect!! Everything from her communication daily to the pictures I receive throughout the day. Leo seemed happy during his hole stay! I highly recommend her and will be using her again soon! ?”

“Alannah watched our golden retriever at our house for 10 days recently! She was wonderful communicating with us regularly & sending photos of our pup. She also walked him everyday! We enjoyed our trip away knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely ask her to watch him again.”

“David was fantastic with our dog while housesitting for us. He is very professional, attentive, and sent daily updates. He made sure he understood our dog's schedule, preferences, and personality traits during the initial meeting. We returned to a neat house and a very happy pup. I would certainly book him in the future!”

“Loved leaving Nova in Marcia’s hands. She was well looked after and Nova seemed to really like her!”

“Cecilia did a great job pet sitting at my home. She helped me out with little notice on a holiday weekend and followed all instructions for my pets! I recommend her and would use her services again!”

About: Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm new to Rover, but not new to pet care. I've been professionally caring for animals of all kinds since 2017. I am comfortable taking care of all kinds of pets, including those with special medical needs and/or behavioral issues. I have extensive experience walking, making trips to dog parks, and house sitting, as well as training and dispensing medications. I am a full-time professional pet care specialist! I am happy to provide on demand services as needed as well as establish regular walks/visits with new clients. I take safety very seriously when it comes to pet care. I always take care to follow all instructions carefully and keep open communication with the owner to make sure we are on the same page regarding expectations and each individual pet's needs. When entering and exiting a client's home I always make sure all doors and gates are shut and locked to prevent pets from excitedly running outside, and I always double-check to make sure harnesses/collars are attached correctly before starting a walk. My clients over the years have always made sure to thank me for keeping their pets and homes safe and secure while they were away!

“Great service, will definitely use again!”

“We are so grateful that Bryan was available pretty last minute to watch our 2 dogs and Guinea pig. He was super friendly from the moment we met him and we could tell that our dogs liked him immediately too (and we all know dogs are great judges of character). He made sure to follow the instructions we gave him via a Google Doc and sent PLENTY of update pictures. Bryan kept Cherry and Waffle super busy going on lots of walks and trips to the dog park so I don’t think they even missed us while we were gone! We will definitely try booking with him again in the future!”

“Trin is amazing! Trust her completely in our home and with our dog. When we get home our dog always looks very comfortable and happy. She goes above & beyond to make sure he has a full belly, empty bladder, and is happy :)”

“Christine took care of our 3-year-old white German Shepherd, Akiva, staying at our home for ten days, during our recent trip abroad. She was very open to learning Akiva's routine, from walking routes to his favorite games, to his rather complex feeding regimen (mix of kibble and fresh-cooked food). She proved herself to be very capable in handling our 90 lb. guy for regular walks in the neighborhood, which can often be complicated by close encounters with other dog walkers, deer and other wildlife on the narrow and hilly streets in our area. Just before we left on the trip, Akiva was diagnosed with an ear infection, and Christine took on a challenging routine of applying ear meds and giving him pills, on top of his regular care. She sent us photos and videos every day and provided detailed updates on how Akiva was doing, especially when it comes to his ears and eating. We had a major scare when our flight back got cancelled and we had to make alternate plans. Christine was very kind and stayed with Akiva until we returned (a major relief for us). In summary. Christine is responsible, caring, and just a great person to rely on while traveling. We will definitely work with Christine again and warmly recommend her to others. Thank you Christine!!”

“Our dogs loved their time with Madison. They were well taken care of, we got lots of pictures, and our place was left clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.”

“If I could leave 6 stars I would! Beth swooped in and helped us at the very last minute when our sitter fell through. She watched our dog and cat and sent so many wonderful pictures and updates throughout the week. I never worried that my fur children were not being well cared for and she treated our house with such respect. She was so thorough during the meet and greet and put my mind at ease never having used Rover before. She went above and beyond to care for our pets. Thank you so much Beth!”

“Audrey was amazing with Pawly. He got plenty of exercise and love. Pawly tends to eat things he shouldn't and Audrey handled this perfectly. He was so well cared for while I was away.”

“Courtney is AWESOME. She is sweet, trustworthy, and so kind and loving to our pets. I felt so calm knowing that she was here taking care of our babies. Definitely recommend and we will definitely partner with Courtney for future trips. ❤️”

“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”
