“LOVE Stephanie. I think Marley gets depressed for a couple of days after she leaves 😀. She constantly sends updates and photos and is very attentive to our old boy. We feel very comfortable having her with him. Highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”
“Sejla is AMAZING!! I feel so lucky that I found her on Rover! My six year old boxer, and my two cats all loved her, she was polite, professional, responsive, and I could tell truly cared about my animals feeling loved and comfortable in my absence! I have already booked her for all my trips this year, and if I could give her more than five stars, I would!!”
“Kate did amazing job with our dog! We were a little nervous about in home sitting, but it seemed like a really good option for our dog, and Kate made us feel completely at ease about it. Kate communicates very regularly and we loved getting daily updates from her. She left our home spotless so we could relax after returning home and, most importantly, our dog was very clearly well taken care of. We would highly highly recommend Kate. Thanks Kate!”
“Renin was excellent and we cannot wait to book her for our next outing/trip. We had an emergency situation, leaving us looking for a dog sitter with only 8 hours until our flight. Renin responded quickly, was flexible with the handoff and with receiving detailed instructions. Our 6yo lab is an active gal, and Renin was up to the task. Two walks a day, two trips to the park to play fetch a day…no problem! Renin sent photos and updates the whole time, and took such good care of our fur baby. When we got home, our pup was wiped! Cannot say enough good things and we will definitely be booking Renin, again.”
“Melanie was amazing. She was super flexible and very good with timely communication cadence. She sent me pictures of my cat everyday and followed all my requests. I will definitely ask for her help to take care of my kitty in the future again! Thank You Melanie!”
“Kristina won Marty over, who can be a bit shy at first! She kept me up to date with pics and updates a few times a day which helped my anxiety decrease so much I could actually be present at my work thing. This was my first time letting someone I haven’t known for a while before watch him and I would trust her to watch him again.”
“Jed stayed with Wyatt over the long Memorial Day weekend and did a fantastic job. He was very communicative and sent many photos. The care he provided Wyatt was perfect. He was such a happy pooch when we got home. I would highly recommend Jed to care for your pet while you are gone.”
“Sophia is amazing ! Highly recommend her. Our dog sitter didn't show up for the stay without any communication. We contacted her multiple times, and she didn't even bother to respond. We were supposed to go on a road trip and it was now delayed till we could find a new sitter. That's when Sophia came to the rescue. She immediately responded to our request, was at our home within 20 minutes to do a meet and greet and then immediately took over the stay. Thanks to her, we could continue with our original stay. She took great care of our dogs and house while we were away. She sent regular updates and photos/videos. She communicated clearly on when she would be leaving the house and coming back. In general, she is a warm and nice human being. We were really touched by the little things she did like sending a warm goodbye message to my kids and parents (whom she had met during the meet and greet), candies she left for our kids and the affection she showed towards our dogs.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have grown up with pets my whole life! I currently have a pug mix and an orange cat of my own. I have experience with senior and puppy care. I would love to provide care for your furry friends including walking, sitting, and drop in visits for feeding and play! I currently work part time as a nanny and caregiver, and would love to add pet care into my schedule. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and only work about 4 hours a day, so I am reliable and available for all of your pet related needs! I am incredibly protective of my animals and intend to treat yours like my own. I am attentive and prioritize safety when caring for pets and will make sure yours are always in safe hands.
“Bryan and Alice were very easy to get in touch with and their dogs got along well with my dog! They kept me well updated with pictures of my dog throughout the one day he stayed with them which I enjoyed immensely!”
About: Since I was 12 taking care of a neighbor's dog, cat, and home for a week I have been on speed dial to take care of what's most valued. From scrappy little dogs to giant schnauzers, to cuddly cats, fish from Walmart to a couple of birds I have taken care of a lot of animals in many homes. I'm in a career transition from commercial property management and financial services to counseling. Most of my course work is online so I have a lot of schedule flexibility. At this point I would only care for pets in their home. Should a boarding situation arise I have a home with a large, fenced lot, that is pet safe because there are no harmful pesticides in use. There is a dog as pictured in my profile who is good with other dogs so long as he gets extra treats for being a good host.
“We are extremely thankful to Anuja for accommodating the request to housesit our dog at the last minute. She was on time, sent lots of pics and made sure our little pup was well taken care of. We definitely recommend Anuja - thank you for watching our dog with so much love!”
“Keseniia was a joy to work with! She gave my cat lots of cuddles and playtime and was highly communicative and sent lots of great pictures. She left my home super clean- I look forward to having her housesit again and would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I volunteer at the San Jose Animal Center and the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley I worked at an animal hospital for a year as a veterinary assistant I trained my one-year-old kitten to wait, sit, shake, turn around, and high-five, as well as my friend's puppy. I am currently in college and taking a light schedule so I can house sit on weekends and walk dogs during the week. I can also drop in to check on pets during the week. I have a large backyard that dogs can play in and an area for a crate if needed. I will make sure that your pet feels safe and loved at either my house or yours. I will follow the instructions left for me very carefully. Your pet will get lots of snuggles and playtime. I plan to give them the best care possible while respecting their boundaries.

Lilly M.
“Lilly is the sweetest girl and is amazing with animals. Lilly was a roommate of mine in college, and without a doubt, she was always my go-to girl when needing someone to watch my cat hazy. Her skills don’t stop there, she is also super friendly and great with handling dogs. I have seen her interact with, watch, and take care of multiple dogs ranging from bulldogs, pugs, to bigger dogs such as labradors etc. I would trust Lilly to watch and take care of my animals anytime and I know she would be glad to help!”

Adam M.
“Adam is a great dog walker, he's attentive, caring and trustworthy. He has experience with all types of dogs from older ones to young ones that want lots of play. He makes sure to not over walk a dog that may not want a long walk, and if your dog is a little more active he's more then ready to do a little run. He makes sure the dog has plenty of water and he's been known to have a treat or two in his pocket. In short he's just what you're looking for in a dog walker.”

She does a great job with exercising them and giving then play time also. She was responsible and on time. Her experience at the Vet hospital also gives us comfort that she can handle them in case of accident. We highly recommend her!”
