“Sierra did a fantastic job looking after all of our pets! We’ve had a hard time finding the right person because we have so many, but Sierra handled it perfectly. We would definitely recommend her.”


“Last minute plans came up and Sarah did amazing taking care of our boys and our home! Second time booking Sarah and everything went smoothly. She's reliable and trustworthy!”

“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”

“Rebecca has watched our home and pup a few times and she’s been phenomenal! She goes above and beyond to accommodate for our doggo and make sure all is set while we are gone. 10/10 recommends her to anyone that asks!”

“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“Could not ask for a better pup sitter. How do I know? Because my fur baby was happy and relaxed when I got home. Nichole stayed in contact while I was gone, sending pictures and updates. She even took him by his favorite dog store and had them look up what we usually buy to choose his treat! She took impeccable care of my home and followed instructions exactly. I have already booked two more sits with her and am thrilled with her! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”

“Jared did a fantastic job with both of my cats, did great with giving all medications and keeping two cats with very different appetites both fed and happy. They obviously loved him and I’ll reach out to him first before considering anyone else for future trips. Professional, communicates super well and sends lots of absolutely adorable pictures.”

“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”

“I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors.

PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety.

Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.

About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.
“We’ve used stefanie several times now. We’re very happy with her. We can tell she loves our doggies as she takes such great care of them. She is a great communicator and also is very timely. She also sends us pictures during the stays too.”


About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”

“Ciria was great with our dogs and cat! She was very communicative and provided us with great updates through the day! The dogs loved her, and our home looked very clean when we came back. Definitely would have her watch our dogs again!”

“Adirah did an incredible job with my pup, Cooper. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet to get him comfortable and kept me updated on things all weekend. She also took very good care of the apartment. I’m so grateful she was able to look after my little guy and I will most certainly be booking with her again.”

“As I told Marina, “We got home and the dogs were very happy, but didn’t go bonkers and that’s awesome! Thank you very much :) “. Seriously, I was relieved they were so relaxed!”

Mission San Jose pet parents share their Rover experiences
Roxann did a great job caring for our dog Libby. She was professional, dependable, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Libby was comfortable with her from the start, and it was clear she was in good hands. We truly appreciated Roxann’s care and would highly recommend her.

Caileigh took exceptional care of Malla while we were away for several days. She followed Malla’s feeding and medication schedule exactly as instructed and sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. From every update, it was clear that Malla was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We also returned to a spotless home, which we truly appreciated. Caileigh was reliable, communicative, and clearly very attentive and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Malla and would absolutely recommend Caileigh to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful caregiver.
