House Sitting in Milpitas

“Diana was absolutely amazing with our little cat. We were abroad for 3 weeks and she was booked in for a home stay to live in with our cat. She treated our cat as her own and looked after her so well, and gave us lots of updates on her, which gave us so much peace of mind. Diana also treated our home so respectfully and it was so clean and well kept to return to. Our cat definitely loved her company too and got comfortable with her really quickly. I believe we have found our forever pet sitter for any future trips away too. Thank you so much for the perfect 3 weeks for our cat.”

“Tianyu was great! She was extremely responsive during her stay with our older dog, Otis, and provided great updates and photos/videos. She kept our house and backyard extra clean. We will book with her again in the future!”

“Mary was amazing! She dog sat at our home with our 35 lb frenchy-pit mix. She was with her for 4 days. She sent multiple pictures a day and helped a nervous fur-mama feel very comforted. She left the house immaculate! I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Mary!!”

“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”

“Sarah is wonderful! She took great care of my cats, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My girls warmed up to her nicely and even snuggled with her which made me so happy to see how comfortable they were with her. I would definitely recommend Sarah and cannot thank her enough :)”

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

Flora L.

“Tess looked after our dog, Lavvy, for five days, making sure to take her on regular neighborhood walks. Tess kept us updated on Lavvy’s activities, and we returned to a well-maintained, orderly house. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt, attentive, and detail-oriented, quickly picking up on our cats’ unique personalities and making them feel comfortable right away. She followed all instructions exactly, provided thoughtful and witty updates that gave us real peace of mind, and communicated clearly throughout our trip. Not only did she care for our cats as if they were her own, but she also left our house spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Juliana did a great job, caring for our two fur babies. She administered prescribed medication to one our fur babies. She sent me photos , came back to our home clean, just the way we left. I would definitely recommend Juliana to care for your pets.”

“Hannah is just wonderful! She is reliable and provides such attentive care for my mini Goldendoodle! Raja enjoys all the walks, play time, and cuddles! We appreciate the regular updates on Raja throughout the day. I highly recommend Hannah!!”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

“Alexis will always be my go-to cat sitter. She took amazing care of my Persian cat while we were away for 10 days. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated regularly with messages and photos. Milo absolutely loved spending time with her. She gave him plenty of cuddles and playtime. She also taught him a trick!! I had complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. I truly appreciate everything Alexis did for my cat.”

“Grace did an amazing job caring for Kylo while we were away for a few hours. She sent pictures and kept us updated. We would definitely book her again!”

About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in the Bay Area and in Austin, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I I work from home as a writer/reasercher on my own flexible schedule. i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.

“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

About: Always surrounded by animals growing up. I always had 2 dogs, a cat, and a snake. Used to many types of breeds and sizes and comfortable in most situations. Right now I have a very open schedule weekdays and all weekends. I can also work holidays. Any problems with scheduling is always sorted before booking. I live in a small apartment in San Jose. Most of the boarding would likely be short term if necessary. Everything is very safe, and would be puppy proof.

“Grant was great. Not only did he keep Athena fed, walked, and safe, he also worked with her regarding various training issues, like having her wait at the door for permission to go through, barking, etc. She liked him the moment she met him, and he let me know how she was doing.”

“Susan cares about your pets and will take good care of your place. She accepts ad-hoc needs when they arrive. She checked in every day and good communication.”
