“Su was wonderful! Responsive, prompt, treated my cat well, and provided detailed updates. Even moved my garbage cans up and my mail. Thank you so much, would definitely rebook her again!”



About: I have experience training two dogs of my own starting from when they were both puppies. I have grown up with dogs from the age of 7 and have seen dogs at all stages of life, from puppy to senior. I have cared for family and friends' dogs while they were out of town or at work. I work from home full time and work East Coast hours so the afternoon and evenings are typically free for me. I have two dogs of my own that I care for daily as well. Our furry friends are family. If your dog needs extra attention, please provide detailed instructions and I would be happy to follow them. Otherwise, I will care for your pet as I would my own.

About: With ten years of experience working with many types of animals ranging from the largest dogs to the smallest kitten (as well as livestock and exotics) in both my perfessional and personal life, I am excited and dedicated to ensuring every animal around me is given the best care I can provide. My years of animal handling have taught me how to ensure the wellbeing and health of all kinds of animals. I am a stay at home wife who previously was taking care of our elderly dog in his advancing age. I have now found myself with more time during the week to dedicate to animal care once more. It is always my top priority to provide every animal with whatever they need to be happy and comfortable, including enrichment and play. Every animal deserves love and respect.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life—raising and training my own pups and working as a Rover sitter and walker. My current dog Kona is a senior now, and after stepping back to focus on her care, I’m excited to open my schedule again. I’m attentive, experienced, and treat every pet like family. I’m able to help take care of your pets weekday evenings and weekends are mostly open. Some holidays will intentionally even be open to make it easy when everyone really needs the help! In your home, I follow your pets routine to keep them comfortable— whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet company. I’ll respect your space and your pets habits to make sure they feel safe and cared for.

About: As a user experience designer, I view pets not just as animals, but as cherished friends and allies. My mission is to provide personalized care that ensures they feel comfortable and secure in their new environment, easing any anxiety they may have. With years of experience caring for pets from my teenage years, I have a wealth of knowledge to support animals of all ages. I take pride in meeting their dietary needs while also fostering emotional connections, creating a nurturing atmosphere where your pet can thrive. I'm skilled in administering medications, grooming, and performing essential tasks like deep-cleaning litter boxes, ensuring a clean and safe haven for your beloved companion. With my unwavering dedication, your cat will receive the highest level of care and attention, with their happiness being my ultimate priority. As I am a free, I have ample free time in my daily and weekly routine. My husband works remotely, so there's always someone at home. This allows us to provide consistent companionship and care for pets throughout the day. Our flexible schedule enables us to engage with your furry friends frequently, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. In my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize safety and trust through a well-structured environment tailored for pets. I ensure that all pet areas are pet-proofed, removing any hazardous items and securing potentially dangerous substances out of reach. When caring for pets, I create a calming atmosphere to help them adjust quickly to their surroundings. I maintain a clean and organized space, ensuring that their living area, food, and litter boxes are always tidy and sanitized. To build trust, I spend quality time getting to know each pet, understanding their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. This personalized approach helps pets feel secure and comfortable while in my care. Additionally, I keep pet owners updated with regular check-ins, sharing photos and videos of their furry friends to ease any worries. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities, ensuring they feel loved and at home, whether in my space or yours.

About: Hello, I’m Jen, a passionate dog lover and advocate. I have over twenty years of experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and special needs dogs. I have also fostered for many rescues over the years. Each dog has a unique personality and different preferences. I look forward to learning about your pet and providing the best care that they need. Whether hosting your pet in my home or just doing a home visit, my top priority is to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. They will be spoiled with love and affection, and I will take care of them just as I do my own. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and your pet won’t be alone whether they’re staying with me here or I’m caring for them in your home. I take them out every couple hours, with one longer walk at Pan pacific park, which is across the street from my place and a fantastic place for people and dog watching. I have a friendly mellow dog if yours likes canine company. We have a fenced back patio that is perfect for lounging in the sun. My neighborhood is safe, quiet, and has tons of grassy area. I like to get to know your/your pet’s preferences so we can create a care plan that’s tailored just for them!

About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I work from home full-time, so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and have also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped with feeding, walking, and socializing animals of all ages and temperaments. This experience has made me comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I am currently self-employed and running a business online. My schedule is super flexible and looking forward to provide pet care and walk throughout the day! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their usual routines to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on time, have clean water, a tidy litter box, and get plenty of playtime and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos or videos for peace of mind.

About: I've pet my own cat for more than 3 years and I love her so much! I also pet two dogs when I was young with my family, so I have some experience on getting along with both dogs and cats. I'd always like to walk dogs when I get a chance. Really enjoy the time and sunshine with my fur friends ;) I'm currently working part-time on Monday, Friday and weekends. I have plenty of time during Tuesday and Thursday to help walk the dogs or to drop-in for visiting dogs & cats if you need :) Although I have no dog of my own, I always have fun with my friends with dogs and love the time I spend with them. I really enjoy the time when helping on walking their dogs. I have my own cat at home and have plenty of experience on petting cat. My friends with cats always send their baby to my home when they need to go travel. Really love spending time with them :)

“I had a great experience with Maria! She was incredibly nice, accommodating, and made sure my dog felt comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter, and I will certainly use her services again in the future!”


“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”


About: Hi there! With a lifelong passion for animals, I've had the joy of caring for furry friends in shelters, wildlife centers, and as a vet assistant. Medication? No problem! I've got it covered. Plus, I've taken dog training classes, so I speak fluent 'dog'! From tiny pups to big buddies, I adore them all. Let's build a bond based on trust and fun, ensuring your dog feels like family when they're with me. I'm here to make tails wag and hearts happy! I am currently home full time so I can ensure your pup gets frequent potty breaks, playtime and walks. I have a husky who gets along with all types of dogs and loves to help me out by playing with your pup! I strive to maintain your dog's routine for familiarity and comfort. Whether they enjoy lounging on the furniture or sticking to their usual spots, I adapt to their preferences. Your pup's comfort and happiness are my top priorities!

About: My love for animals began as a child. Since I was young, I have had a fascination for our furry friends and their unconditional love. Recently, I have been pet sitting for my friends, and have been the go to for my neighborhood when it comes to pet sitting. My previous dog Roxy, lived to the ripe age of 16. She has taught me so much about myself, also how to take care of dog no matter the age. More recently, my current dog Dipper(6), loves to meet new people and new animals. I often work at home, so time spent with our furry family members will be substantial. In addition, nightly neighborhood walks are a must for Dipper, and bringing along another friend for him will be great. I have a 6 year-old, small size poodle-terrier mixed, name Dipper. He is super friendly. Like Dipper, your pets are free to go in and out to our fenced backyard as pleased (unless otherwise specified by the owner). They sleep indoor during night and are never left outside in the yard without supervision. I always walk with their leash on. In summer, I’ll make sure the weather is cool down before taking them out for walk.

“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”


“This was the first drop-in visit prior to our travel plan that should take place one week later. Therefore this visit was more like getting acquainted with each other, including the dog. Alex was good at interacting with my GSD Candy. We also had a very warm conversation. My wife and myself have trust in Alex. So does Candy. Unfortunately our cruise was canceled due to coronavirus thread. But when we use the FCC (Future Cruise Credits), we will definitely need Alex again.”

“Dear Rover Team, I am writing to highly recommend my friend Yan for a position as a pet sitter with Rover. I have known Yan for three years and can confidently attest to their exceptional skills and dedication when it comes to caring for pets. Yan has consistently demonstrated a remarkable level of attentiveness and care in their interactions with animals. What sets Yan apart is their genuine passion for ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under their care.

In my experience, Yan has shown: Exceptional attentiveness to pets' needs Strong communication skills with both animals and their owners Reliability and punctuality A genuine love and understanding of different pet personalities The ability to handle various pet care situations with calm and competence I believe Yan would be an outstanding addition to the Rover team. Their dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them an ideal candidate for a pet-sitting position. Pets under Yan's care are not just looked after; they are truly cared for and loved.

Mission San Jose pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our very first experience with Rover, and it couldn’t have been better all thanks to Katelyn! She is one of the most passionate pet lovers that we have ever met. She treated our cat like her own and always went the extra mile. For example, we only asked her to refill the water fountain, but she completely cleaned the fountain after noticing some gem buildup in it during one of the visits. Furthermore, she also gave us valuable advices such as to set up a bird feeder to keep our cat entertained while we are away. Therefore, Katelyn is definitely our go-to pet sitter in the future!

Catherine was very prompt and responsive. Although our kitties did not make an appearance (they are hiders), she was diligent in making sure they had all the necessities and took pictures of everything she did. She was a pleasure to work with and would definitely recommend!

Derrick did an awesome job from initial meet and greet with Bandit to all the visit while we were away. This was the first we were leaving Bandit so was very worried but Derrick care of everything extremely well. Bandit was very happy. I highly recommend Derrick. Thanks.
