“Jie H was fantastic with our two Labradoodles. She is mature, responsible and really understood my dogs needs. Jie did everything asked of her for the dogs. My dogs loved her. When we arrived home, our dogs ran to greet us, but then went right back to Jie to play and be petted. I highly recommended her. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Cj is wonderful. He is kind, professional, responsible and thorough. We couldn’t be more grateful. Cj took care of our elderly Simon and our house for three days. He sent updated photos of himself during walks and meals, which gave us peace of mind. We definitely recommend Cj to anyone who wants their pets to be in the best hands. We are planning our next trips to call Cj again. 😃”
“My cat has separation anxiety and I needed someone to housesit and stay overnight. Evelyn took amazing care of my car and treated him like he was her own. She sent daily pictures of snuggles and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands while I was away!”
“Daria was wonderful taking care of my dog. He's fearful and anxious with new people and Daria was extremely patient and accommodating when first coming for a meet and greet and then again when I was leaving for my trip. She really engaged with Tallac to build a bond before my trip even started. She kept the house tidy and clean. I absolutely will be requesting her services again.”
“This was the first time I left my dog with someone who wasn’t family overnight. Austin asked a lot of good questions that made me feel at ease during our meet and greet because it showed he was experienced and cared. He sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the weekend. It seems like my dog enjoyed his company and I look forward to their next stay together.”
“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“Ian is the best! He was so thoughtful, communicative, and clearly really loves dogs. Our senior dog had a minor medical situation right before we left and Ian was extra vigilant, kind, and responsive to make sure we knew how she was doing (totally fine) and sent photos of her enjoying walks and such. He was super respectful of our home and we're already to rebooking with him for our next trip!”
“He immediately got along with all of our dogs, and they sat next to him, he was playing with dogs and didn't mind the size of our dogs either. Very well-mannered, thoughtful, and great dog sitter - We will definitely ask him again!”
“Katie is an amazing dog sitter. She was patient and understating. Winston wouldn’t go near her for about 36-48 hours. She sat and waited for Winston to come to her. Not every person has this ability but Katie sure does. I would highly recommend her for all your furbaby needs. I surely would hire her again!”
About: Hello Neighbors! 🐶🐱 I am at home 100% of the time and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and attuned to animals' unique needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Whether it’s providing enrichment activities, administering medication, or simply giving endless cuddles, I’m here to treat your pets like they’re my own. My focus is on creating a stress-free experience for both you and your furry family! I am home full time and work part time (fully remote) which gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated care for your pets. I have plenty of time throughout the day for play, walks, and snuggles, and I can adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs. As your sitter and neighbor, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of cozy spaces for your pets to relax. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from meals to walks, and always keep a watchful eye to ensure their safety. I keep my friendly floof Eeyore (3yr old Scottish Fold) in a separate, closed area of my home during the entirely of your pet's stay with me to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and follow your guidelines to maintain your pet’s comfort and well-being. I communicate regularly to keep you updated, so you always know your furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my focus.
“Barbara was a fabulous and easy dog sitter to work with. She was fast to communicate, sent frequent photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. We are looking forward to using her again in the future.”
“Ciara was awesome! She took our dog on a couple walks and watched him at our house while we were on vacation. She took great care of him and we really appreciated her daily updates with pictures of our happy pup. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Nicole was an absolute star with my dog, Noah. She took impeccable care of him and the house while I was away for three nights. It can be very unsettling leaving a loved pet with a stranger while inviting that person into your home. Nicole communicated daily, was respectful of the house, and took stellar care of my fur baby. She truly loves animals. I look forward to hiring her in the future.”
About: I’m an animal-loving creative professional with a heart full of care for both cats and dogs. I’ve been around animals since childhood, and although I currently don’t have pets of my own, I care for others’ pets as if they were my own. Since 2017, I’ve cared for pets regularly, especially in the Silicon Valley area: I’ve looked after pets with different temperaments and routines – gaining deep experience with both playful pups and chill cats. At my own home in Mountain View, I continuously hosted and cared for cats and dogs – often back-to-back, month after month. Pet care isn’t just a service to me – it’s a source of joy, structure, and meaning. Walking a dog gives rhythm and purpose to the day. Feeding and grooming pets brings peace and presence. Cats remind me to slow down and be fully in the moment. My work is fully remote and flexible – I only need a peaceful environment and an internet connection. In fact, having pets around makes my work better – it brings balance to the screen-heavy nature of my profession. I take pride in being a very responsible and flexible sitter. I’m used to carefully following detailed instructions and adapting to each pet’s unique routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Because I work remotely and don’t spend time out of the house other than quick errands like grocery shopping, I can devote most of my day to being present with your pets and keeping them on their regular schedule. Beyond caring for animals, I’m also happy to look after the home itself. Whether it’s watering plants, tending to a garden, making sure mail doesn’t pile up, or simply keeping everything tidy and secure, I’ll ensure your home feels well cared for and lived in while you’re gone. My goal is to give both you and your pets peace of mind knowing that everything is in good hands.
“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”
“Danielle was great with Wall-E, she took great care of him and got to know him pretty well over a few days. She sent us regular updates throughout the time we were away, it gave us a lot of peace of mind to see Wall-E's photos and updates. Danielle also took really great care of our home. We'd definitely lean on her next time we need a sitter too.”
“Cora was so helpful and watched our dog Penny super last minute. She picked her up from our apartment in the morning and then brought her back in the evening and waited with her until we got home. She was so nice and accommodating, and sent us pictures throughout the day! Highly recommend! Thank you Cora! :)”
About: Hello! My name is Sam - I’ve moved fairly recently to the Bay Area, but have brought with me 4 years of veterinary experience as a vet assistant in an ER/ICU setting, as well as over 8 years of pet sitting experience. Although I’ve changed career paths, I have extensive experience within the veterinary care field. During my time working as a vet assistant, I worked regularly with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, and parrots (amongst others!). I have also worked with animals of all ages - from just-born puppies to 21 year-old cats. I worked with animals having routine medical issues (such as stomach upset), all the way up to complex chronic or acute medical conditions, so I know what to keep an eye out for. I started my venture into the veterinary world walking, feeding, and cleaning animals before working my way up to the more medical-facing portions of the field. As such, I have plenty of experience with routine care, as well as more advanced care such as medication and fluid administration, complex medical histories, and behavioral issues. I’m currently working at a company in Menlo Park Tuesday-Saturday, from around 8-4:30 (sometimes 7-3:30). I’m flexible, though, and can pop in during the day to check in on a pet if needed - I’m definitely around before and after work. My workplace is dog-friendly, so if your pup is good with other dogs, they’d be right at home! I’m very particular about following guidelines set out by clients, so please tell me exactly what you’re looking for so I can provide the best service! I’m also happy to stop by beforehand at no charge to meet the pet(s) and ensure that I’ll be a good fit.
“Pauline was absolutely fantastic throughout her stay in our home (booked her for house/cat sitting for about a week). We are so glad we found her on Rover. She was very patient and attentive to our cat. Pauline provided regular updates with pictures and left the house spotless. Thank you so much for caring for Bodza and making our holiday worry-free!! ❤️ Would highly recommend her!”

He was super respectful of our home and we're already to rebooking with him for our next trip!
Emma took a great care of our dog, Zelda! She sent us pictures every day and Zelda was happy and well when we got back home. Emma was also very flexible, accommodating our travel plans when we needed it. She also was very respectful of our house and left everything as she found it. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet!
Ahmyah has an instant rapport with our dog. She knew exactly what to do to make him comfortable. And she took good care of him and our house while we were away. She threw the ball for our dog, took him on walks, and sent us daily pictures. We came home to a calm and happy canine.
Austin is an incredibly thorough and conscientious dog sitter! We could tell immediately upon meeting him his interest in animals and his attention to detail. It is not easy trusting someone to care for your pets, but we have zero worries when Austin is watching our dog. He provides frequent updates and pictures, and even took an interest in practicing training with our dog. We are so grateful we found him!
Nicole was absolutely amazing! She’s a true dog person—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Our dog is older, with some anxiety and medical needs, and Nicole handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She followed our detailed instructions to the letter and made sure our pup felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. What really stood out was how much our dog adored her. She took the time to play with him, snuggle, and give him the attention he needed to feel at ease. We also appreciated the thoughtful updates and sweet photos she sent throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Nicole went above and beyond and we feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!
Lauren was a delight to work with. Responsive and professional, while still showing her love for dogs and animals. She took care of our almost 14 year old Lab and 8 year old Weim with great care and sent daily check-ins with multiple photos. She left the house impeccable as well. We will definitely be using Lauren again and I highly recommend her for dog and house sitting!
Marisol was absolutely fabulous! She took wonderful care of our energetic 2-year-old Lab mix, and wonderful care of our house as well. She sent us lots of updates and photos and was was super responsive. We came home to a very happy dog and a spotless house. We can't imagine a better dog sitter!
Kendall was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Ruby while we were away on family vacation for just over 2 weeks. Not only did she follow our routines for feeding and regular walks, but she also took wonderful care of our home--everything was clean, tidy, and in amazing shape after her time with us. She left our home in better shape than she found it and was great about sending pics and updates about our pup while we were away. What more could you ask for?! She was a delight to work with--kind, communicative, and with wonderful manners--and we sincerely hope she will watch Ruby any time we have need for a dog sitter in the future!
Ella was so sweet and wonderful with our boys. So thankful she was available last minute when we had an emergency flight change and she was adaptable and flexible in getting to our boys! She provided great updates and communication and we would love to have her back
Maria was excellent! We’d be happy to have her stay with our pup who needs an emotional support human at all times. She went the extra mile with our anxious boy keeping him company while eating (and sharing lots of treats). She’s a great communicator and asks great questions. Maria and our pup hit it off fast. We love our boy so much and we could tell Maria provided as much love as we would give him. Thank you Maria!
Layla was great with our two dogs! They were very well cared for as was our garden, which needed watering while we were away. She left the house very clean and was very communicative, sending pictures to let us know everything was fine. I highly recommend Layla!!
