“We have thoroughly enjoyed Vikki taking care of OD and Penny when I had to travel. She is not just the best sitter we’ve had to date, but one heck of an excellent person too. We are going to miss her deeply here in San Jose but wish her the best for the future and look forward to a time Penny and I can visit her, Frankie, and Piper!”


“We LOVE LOVE Nikki and her family!!! Our "boy" whines the entire ride to her home and PULLS me to the front door! Nikki is truly amazing. During his day with her, he gets so much attention in different forms, play time, potty time, quiet time and "school" time. Really enjoy her training our boy to be so well behaved.”


“Amelia and Gregg are wonderful! You can tell they love dogs and are great with them. My dog who hates to leave my side loves going over to their house and when he sees me getting ready for work he gets excited because he knows he is going to visit with his new friends.”


About: Hi, I'm Teresa - a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful 6-week-old puppies to sweet seniors. I've been a trusted Rover sitter since 2018 and have also cared for the pets of family and friends while they were away for work or vacation. I share my home with my two friendly dogs, Sadie and Lily, who love having playdates and sleepovers with new furry friends. In our care, your pup will be treated like part of the family — because that's exactly how we see them! We have a large enclosed courtyard where dogs can safely play and run around, plus they'll have full access to the house for maximum comfort. Whether your dog loves to relax, play, or go for a walk at the nearby park, I'm here to make sure their time away from you is fun and stress-free. I'm home full-time with open availability for drop-offs, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. Sadie, Lily, and I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! Recently retired and home during the day, so your pup will get lots of attention, love, and care. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs. Your pet will feel safe, happy, and right at home with me-just like part of the family. Your pup's comfort and safety are my top priority! I have a large, fully enclosed courtyard at my townhome where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. Inside, they'll have full access to my home and can relax wherever they feel most comfortable. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. I also live near a beautiful park and love taking dogs for walks and fresh air. Your bet will be well cared fc v a secure, Loving environment.

“Mazie had a great day with Debbie and her dogs. Debbie was so kind to help us out last minute so we could spend the day fishing. 🎣 We are so happy we found her on Rover and connected. We look forward to seeing you again, Debbie!”


“Gigi loves Nancy! She is very attentive and a very trustable person. She promptly answers all the time and sends constant updates during the day with video and pictures. She is reliable and I always have peace of mind when I leave my puppy with her. She will take great care of your fur friends and they will love her I guarantee you. She is definitely one of my favorite pet sitters out there ?”


About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. I am available for boarding every night. I will care for your pets and meet their special needs. I will take them for potty breaks every 2 hours while boarding overnight and however many times requested while stopping by for some outside time. I will also send fun pics to you so you know they are loved while you are away. **Please ensure you bring along any food for your pet, as I do not provide this due to individual diets. Also anything else that would bring extra comfort to them etc, blankets, crates (although I have a large crate if needed), bedding, toys, treats as well as any medications or probiotics/vitamins they are taking.

“My dog is shy and apprehensive around strangers but Joanna made her feel safe and comfortable right away. She sent pics throughout the day which made me feel more comfortable too. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joanna again it was a good experience for both my dog and myself ?”


About: My love from dogs & cats made me decide to buy a mobile pet grooming business!!! Now I get to talk about dogs and cats EVERY day! I am home most of the time talking to my groom customers and booking their appointments. I figured why not have additional dogs with me to keep me company and have fun!!! I have a fenced yard with one very friendly hound dog that loves to play. We take walks across the street during the day to 'stretch our legs'!
