“The kitties had another wonderful time with Fernanda! It’s such a comfort knowing they’re not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and doted on. They were so relaxed and happy when I got home. She kept me updated with sweet photos and little notes about their antics, which always makes me smile. Fernanda is thoughtful, reliable, and absolutely loves spending time with them. So lucky to have her! Thank you again, Fernanda!”
“Angie took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a week. He warmed up to her instantly, and she became his new best friend. She sent lots of pictures and had great communication with me before and during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
“I can’t recommend Adriana enough! She took care of my cats for 4 days and truly went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cares for animals, my kitties Momo and Mimi felt right at home with her. She made sure they were well fed, kept the litter box spotless, and spent quality time playing and cuddling with them, it was clear they were happy, relaxed, and comfortable the whole time. Adriana was also super responsive and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She’s kind, reliable, and just an all-around wonderful person and sitter. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my fur babies. I’ll definitely be booking Adriana again, my cats can’t wait to see her next time! 🐱❤️”

About: I have taken care of my own cat for four years now. I work well with any type of cats and am super excited to meet and care for your loving pet! I am a software engineer who wfh in Los Altos so my time is pretty flexible. Just let me know more about your pet need and we can work out a time together! I take great care of my own cat. For my customer’s pet, I will customized to their need for their pet care. Just stay communicated and we can work something out!
About: A large grassy area in front of the house on a cul de sad, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I do not currently have my own dog but sometimes may take 2 dogs at one time. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. It is a house with a yard, not an apartment. The yard is not completely fenced, so I use a leash 100% of the time until I know the dog very well, since there are sometimes birds and squirrels making appearances. Dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, weather permitting. Your dog will not spend time outside alone because it's just more fun to be together. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes, dogs in my home for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that, at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.
“Jenna H. was exceptional! She sent thorough updates and I could tell by the pictures that my cat was her normal, happy self with Jenna. Seeing how happy she was took a lot of the worry away. Thank you Jenna!”
“Candy is amazing! She read all of my instructions and followed them perfectly, sent tons of cute photos, and even went out of her way to find my cat when she was hiding under the bed. Highly recommend!”
“Clare is an amazing sitter. She has looked after our 2 outdoor cats twice now and both times they have loved her so much! It was so sweet to see so many photos of our usually shy cat belly-up in her reports. Clare is amazingly flexible as well and was happy to adjust feeding and timing depending on our cats needs, which was great as we found another neighborhood cat trying to swing by when we were away.”
“Lisa was great with my cats! This is my first time hiring a pet sitter so I was a bit nervous at first but my cats were drawn to her immediately! Normally they are scared of strangers but they loved her. Lisa sends great pictures and notes from her visits which is comforting to see when you’re away. I plan to rebook her for my future trips out of town!”
“Lina was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. I was so nervous about leaving them for the week, but Lina did such a great job taking care of them. She was super reliable and great at keeping me in the loop with thorough daily updates (and lots of cute pictures). We’ll definitely call Lina for our next vacation, highly recommend!!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and learned to take care of them at a young age. I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 13 and I immediately loved it. I would love the opportunity to meet your cute critter! I am currently a college student but I am on my break so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and Sundays. I currently have a dog I take care of. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have an indoor cat I care for and have previously watched an outdoor cat so I am familiar with cat care.
“Rachel is indeed one of the best host ever for my cat! She gave me daily updates, and I could realize that my cat was really enjoying her time with Rachel and relaxing with her. She knows how cat prefers to be treated, so I didn’t need to worry anything for my cat at all during my trip. I will definitely ask Rachel support if she is available during next trip!”
“We were very happy to have Ainsley to take care of our two cats while we were away! She sent daily updates with photos, which really put our minds at ease, and both Lychee and Kiwi were relaxed and healthy when we got back. Ainsley is an amazing animal lover and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be glad to work with her again in the future.”

Kimberly was sweet with our elderly kitty and careful about giving the daily medication. She was also communicative and took great care to keep our home secure and tidy. We will definitely book her again. Thank you, Kimberly, for giving our Girl good care and us peace of mind while we were away!
Kevin helped out with our three cats last minute over a holiday weekend, and he did a fantastic job. He was thorough and communicative, sending lots of great pics and videos each day. He even lured out our shyest kitty for playtime! Will definitely have him back.
As always, Jenna was fantastic!! She has become our go to person when we are away and takes the best care of our cats. We get great pictures and updates and she really takes the time to make sure they are well cared for. I always feel comfortable being away from the cats when I know Jenna is watching them, she’s the best :) Thanks again, Jenna!
Cora is an excellent pet-sitter. I watched through my Ring camera as Cora greeted my two cats, fed them, played with them, gave them treats, thoroughly scooped their litter box, and even cleaned up after them, which went beyond what I requested or expected. My cats greeted her enthusiastically each time. They may have loved her even more than they love me - hard to tell. I really appreciated the kindness and professionalism Cora showed to my beloved cats and I strongly endorse her as a Rover.
Kelly is an amazing caretaker and animal lover! She has taken care of our older indoor / outdoor cat and dealt with a lot of unexpected challenges that have come with that with grace and ease. She is also extremely trustworthy and professional. We are lucky to know her!
