About: * Long walks, happy paws, and loving care. * Where every walk feels like an adventure. * Treating your pets like they’re my own. * Making tails wag and pet parents smile. * Trusted pet care with a lifelong love of animals. After recently retiring, I now have the freedom to spend my time caring for pets. Staying active is important to me, and my daily 4-mile walks make me a great companion for dogs who enjoy exercise, adventure, and lots of attention. I specialize in drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at your home so your pets can stay where they feel most at ease.
“Kristin did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was gone. This was the first time I’ve had someone I didn’t know take of them, so I was initially nervous, but after reading and hearing about her experience, as well as meeting her in person during our meet and greet, I felt so much more at ease. She was easy to communicate with while I was away, and was so patient with my shy kitties. I also really appreciated the daily reports on how they were doing with pictures included. I would be happy to have Kristin watch my cats any time in the future when I’m out of town!”
“Elise was wonderful taking care of our cats. She was on time, super communicative and shared lots of photos from her drop-in visits. She was very mindful coming into our apartment and was super loving to our cats. They loved when she visited. She followed instructions perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Elise and would hire her again.”
About: As a lifelong cat lover and recent kitten foster, I understand that every cat is unique. Some want constant attention, while others prefer their space. I take the time to learn each cat’s personality and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, medication assistance, or simply providing companionship, I treat every cat as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence knowing your cat is in caring hands. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work my schedule around providing reliable care, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks (for dogs), litter box cleaning, and check-ins throughout the day. I am organized and attentive to routines, so I can follow your pet’s schedule closely and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes, provide enrichment and playtime, and ensure they have a calm, stress-free environment. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Mámoo is absolutely wonderful with Kato (my high-energy female husky). It’s easy to see the care and enthusiasm they bring to every visit. Kato gets excited as soon as she sees them. Mámoo plays, runs, and engages with her in a way that matches her energy. It’s clear they enjoy spending time together. I am confident Kato is in such loving hands and capable hands.”
“Yu-Wen did a great job caring for our cats. Typically Yuki and Akira are shy and run from new people. My husband and I could tell from the first pictures Yu-Wen sent us, our girls were very comfortable and happy. You-Wen kept us well informed on how are girls were doing. We highly recommend him and we do plan to book him in the future.”
About: I love all animals and love to interact and care for them. Animals are part of our family and needed to be treated as such. I am currently a stay-at-home homeschooling mom so I could spend almost every minute with your fur baby to make sure they are having a wonderful time. I have a dog as well so your fur baby will have some company. Also my daughter just loves dogs as well and your fur baby will be extra loved.
“Debbie went above and beyond watching our two fur babies. If Lupini & Truffle could leave 10/5 stars they would! She loved and cared for them like they were her own. We are so lucky to have found Debbie!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and providing overnight care for several years, working with dogs of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to Great Dane mixes. I’m comfortable with energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or fearful pups who need patience and reassurance. For the past several months, I’ve taken shelter dogs on field trips through County of Santa Clara Animal Services, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs in new environments, on hikes, and in stimulating settings. This has strengthened my leash handling, situational awareness, and ability to read canine body language. I also have experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I understand that seniors may need a slower pace and gentle care, while puppies require consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away :) As a student, I have a structured but flexible schedule which allows me to consistently fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m typically available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits, and I plan my class schedule to allow time for reliable pet care commitments. Pet care fits naturally into my week—whether that means morning walks before class, midday drop-ins, or evening visits and overnights. I’m organized and intentional about managing my time, so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On weekends, I have even greater flexibility for longer visits, extended stays, or multiple drop-ins per day. I prioritize clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your pet is in consistent, attentive care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routes, house rules, and any specific behavioral needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, remain attentive on walks, and closely monitor pets during visits. I’m mindful of potential hazards and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it—clean, secure, and respected. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I treat both with the highest level of care and respect.
About: I work at a cat and dog resort for the past 3 years. Can feed, walk and medicate your furry friend. Picking up and disposal of waste. I work full time at a pet resort and would be available to take care of your pet from 5pm- 6am Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday and Saturday from 2pm- 6am in your house. Your animals safety is my number 1 concern. Keeping doors and windows closed. Shutting cabinets. Always using a leash or lead. Keeping fence doors closed
About: I have supported my wife in watching animals on Rover but recently took the jump to make my own profile on Rover! I have professionally cared for dogs on Rover since 2017. From pet boarding in our home to house sitting in the homes of others, I have professionally cared for pups of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. My wife and I have two goldendoodles (8 and 6 years old). Growing up, my family has fostered many dogs and so I have experience with various breeds and pups with special needs. Currently I am taking classes to further my education and work a flexible schedule professionally reffing soccer games which are usually one to two hours in length. I live an active lifestyle but also love to have relaxing days depending on your dog’s needs. I understand how much trust goes into having someone else care for your furbaby let alone opening up your own home. I treat the home I come into with respect and follow any rules and cultural considerations for any homes I enter. I respect rules set by you and my main priority is to keep the dog(s) I am watching on their normal schedule until their humans are back home!
“Stacey was a fabulous sitter for our cat River. She was super communicative throughout not at all flustered by our escapologist cat! She paid her tonnes of attention and obvious has a very genuine love for animals. Very very highly recommended!”
“I had some chaotic things happening during Holly’s visit for my dog and she took care of everything! I’m super happy that I was able to book her on such short notice. And I love how well she took care of Cru!”
About: Loving and responsible mamma dog, I have two rescued myself. They are a pitbull and a sheppard mix so I can definitely take care of big dogs. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Mornings and evenings walks during the week as I work during the day and I have full availability during the weekends to take care of them with walks and cuddles. I understand their needs and take care of them while providing you with regular updates. Love sending pictures while playing with them and taking care of them.
About: Hi my name is Danielle, I grew up in Saratoga but now live in Los Gatos. My love and passion for pets will make me a great pet sitter for your furry baby. Not only am I an experienced dog walker, but I have the skills to clean ears, paws, clip nails (cats only) and administrate medicine. I've done a lot of rescues throughout the years like saving baby squirrels, birds and even rodents. I've also rescued two pit pulls on the freeway here in San Jose and reunited them with their owner. I've also have been into TNR (trap neuter and return). My first two cat rescues ended up being my furry babies for life! The other kittens I rescued are with my mom. If you see her with a kitten stroller in Campbell, that is her :). Not only do I love being a cat mom but I'm also a huge dog lover as well. I grew up with several different dogs big and small. All my pets have been rescues so I have a lot of patients and understanding for every pets situation. *Important Info* Dog Walks Include: Walking, feeding and providing water to your pup if needed. (Prepping food or waiting for your dog to finish eating will be included in the 30 minutes. Drop-In Visits Include: Playing, taking him/her outside to go potty, fresh food/water or medication, and/or cleaning up your pets mess or any other accommodations your pet needs. House sitting: 10PM-6AM Prices will vary depending on type of animal and service needed :) Not only do I want to make your pets day brighter but I'm also here to make your life easier! Maybe there's one morning during the week day where you want to sleep in. Or maybe you want to do something right after work a couple times a week but can't because you have to take care of your pet, well let me be that person to take the load off you! :) I look forward being your dedicated dog walker and pet sitter! I want to create a fun loving and trustworthy friendship with your pet and be their best friend when you are gone. I have reliable transportation so I can come to you! I have a great track record of stopping by several times a day to give your pet food and fresh water, go for walks, play, even taking them to appointments. I would love to do a meet and greet first so everyone feels comfortable and safe :)
“Katie was absolutely AMAZING with Dakota! This is my first time using Rover & I didn't worry in the slightest while I was away, and it was all because of Katie! She went ABOVE & BEYOND knowing I was a bit nervous leaving him! I look forward to using Katie in the future! EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION & ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS SAFE & BEING WELL CARED FOR!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Los Gatos
Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby
My cats and I absolutely love Sam! I am so thankful to have found someone who is so sweet and takes great care of my babies when I’m away. She is always so informative and keeps me updated on everything. She even offered to check in on my new kitty an extra time to make sure everything was okay which help put my mind at ease. You have no idea how much I appreciated that. Thank you for everything, you’re amazing!🤍

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
