“I’ve been using Rover for a while and have had to book different people and so far, Marissa has been the best. The best with communication, care and attention to our fur babies. Thanks so much for all your help! Looking forward to our next booking!”

About: I volunteered with the Humane Society of Silicon Valley to help socialize rescue dogs and cats of all levels of shyness. My own dog was a rescue who needed a lot of time and care to open up to people. I have also dog sat for multiple dogs at a time! I have very open availability! I am a university student on break so I have no other obligations. I can stay overnight as well to keep your pet company. I'm used to cleaning up messes if your pet gets sick, and am able to let your pet out to pee/clean their litter box at any time! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs.

About: I have a huge heart for animals. I have had pets all of my life and consider them to be part of my family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and know the commitment and responsibilities that come with caring for pets. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I am an upcoming college freshman who has a flexible schedule. If you and your family are away from home, I’m always free to check up on your furry companions! I will provide the attention your pet needs and follow any specific instructions you have for me. It is important to me that your pet is comfortable and feels safe at all times. Long walks around the neighborhood and giving them lots of love and attention are things I will do to make your pet feel happy and safe.

About: I have 15 years of dog care and 4 years of cat care experience. I saved a 2-month puppy from death and took care of him carefully days and nights for a month until he’s full recovered. It makes me treasure every moment with any little ones. My pets all love me, and I taught them a lot of commands. I love pets and they are my families! :) I am currently working from home, so I have all day with pets and am able to take close care of them. I’ll let them go out and play at least 3 times per day and take potty breaks. :) I have a big fenced backyard and a big front yard for the pets to play. And there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in my house, so pets are welcome to stay with me or take a rest alone in a quiet place. I make my home cozy and pet friendly by providing pet beds, blankets, carpets, and toys. Pets are welcome to sleep in my bedroom if needed! If I need to go to my clients’ home, I will make sure the pets are taken good care of by satisfying all their needs, and I will follow strictly to the special instructions. I’ll also leave my clients’ home nice and clean as it was! :)

About: Hi there! I'm a passionate dog lover with hands-on experience walking all kinds of dogs — from energetic shelter dogs to my own sweet German Shepherd at home. I understand that every dog has a unique needs, and I always tailor my walks to me enriching and fun for your dog. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow strolls, I'll match their pace! I’m currently a full time college student as well so my schedule is a bit spontaneous. I’m generally available on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings, all day on Tuesday, and Friday morning. However I am flexible if there is an impromptu walk that matches my times outside the times mentioned above. I am currently not boarding any pets at my home, but I’ll definitely ensure the safety of your pets under my care. I have experience administering medicine for dogs and I watch them throughout the entire visit!

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for rescuing and caring for animals. I’ve independently rescued and fostered 3 cats and a dog, and I'm also a dog mom to my fur baby, Peanut! Growing up with dogs my whole life taught me how to understand and care for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve also pet-sat for friends’ dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own… with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, working on potty training, learning new tricks or gentle senior care, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a new graduate registered nurse and currently working per diem so my schedule is based on clinic need and based on my personal availability. Therefore, I’m fairly flexible and I will build my schedule around making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention they need. In my home, I have a medium sized goldendoodle who loves to play and meet new friends! If your pet does not get along with other animals, I can come to you and do drop in visits, walks, etc. If there is a specific schedule to be followed, I will always make sure to follow that as close as possible and also give regular updates with photos and notes so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and ensure they feel secure and happy until you’re back. I believe communication is key :-)

“Maddie did a great job for us. She was very good at communicating, followed our instructions perfectly, and showed up for the visits exactly when she said she would. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we're in need of a sitter”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog back in high school, and that’s when my love for caring for pets truly began. In college, I started volunteering at local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Today, I share my home with a sweet and playful German Shepherd mix who loves making new friends. With years of personal and volunteer experience, I understand the importance of patience, trust, and consistent care. Whether your pup needs a cozy stay, a walk full of sniffs, or just some loving company while you're away, I’m here to help! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I'm available for drop-in visits, or you’re welcome to bring your pet to my home. I can also offer pick-up if needed! I have a spacious backyard where pets can run around and play with my 6-year-old German Shepherd. He’s very friendly and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I also take him on walks three times a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and companionship!

“So, Jessica was amazing. Simply put, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. My two cats took to her immediately upon the first meet and greet, and each day she visited (once per day over a five day period) the pictures showed exactly how much fun they were having playing with Jessica and enjoying her presence. I appreciated her ready communication and willingness to help. She was worth each star.”

About: I have been a veterinary technician since 2015. I always knew working with animals was always my passion. Prior to being a vet tech I was a dog trainer at Petco for 1.5 years. My expertise and knowledge in this industry is of no doubt. I currently work in an animal clinic close to home which is so convenient. I’m an active young mother so I enjoy outside time as well and love going on walks. I’m capable to administer subcutaneous fluids and medications of any sort if needed. My husband works from home so someone will be home all day with your fur baby! We go on 2 long walks daily along with 2 extra bathroom breaks in between I currently do not have pets of my own, but I treat them all as if they were. The love, care, and attentiveness I carry within myself will show through your pet’s happiness and well being.

About: I've had pets my whole life- a Boxer when I was little! So big dogs don't scare me. I also have experience with cats. I have one super sweet kitty and one... not so much. I get how to handle all kinds of personalities! I'm good with puppies, teaching them the basics, and I'm really patient with older pets. I'll make sure your fur baby is happy and gets all the love while you're gone! So give me a text or call. Pet care totally fits into my daily and weekly routine! I'm used to the whole feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime routine with my cats. I'm super responsible about it. And growing up with a dog, I'm used to the whole walking, feeding, and poop-scooping thing as well! I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I'll make sure to stick to their regular schedule and give them lots of attention. When I'm caring for pets in my home I make sure they have a safe and comfy space set up just for them! I know my cats like little beds so I always make sure they each have their own or more. I'll keep them on their regular feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I'll follow all your instructions super carefully. I'll make sure to keep everything clean and tidy, and I'll send you updates and pics so you know your fur baby is doing great!

“Elaine helped us tremendously over a couple of days when we weren’t around so much to take care of our pup. Clear communication, arrived and left on time as planned. Very reliable. Thank you so much Elaine!”

“Mimi made our time away from our cats so much easier! She was always on time, took good care of them and was prompt in keeping us posted! Highly recommend.”

“Erica watched our dog, Emma, twice in the last month. Each time, Erica let us know the first morning confirming she would be by in the evening. She provided daily updates and photos while we were away. There were no problems either time. Our finicky eater ate her meals and was well cared for. I can recommend her highly.”

“Marie takes such good care of my cat. My cat loves her so much that she’s totally relaxed around her—that’s how I know she’s in good hands. Marie is the best!”

Miriam L.

“This was our first visit by Shaden and she was wonderful. Took very good care of our 4 slightly high maintenance cats. We will be sure to have her back at another time. Thank you!”

About: I have had pets since childhood, I felt very bad when I went to school and left my pet at home. when I was little I was a very private person and that's why my mom decided to have a pet and since then I've learned to be frank. they really calm me down so I decided to work at this job I am the boss of my job so I can be at home whenever I want. in the program, I clarified the schedule and I think there will be no problems, I can sit with the pet as long as necessary It is more convenient for me to take care of pets in my own house because I feel uncomfortable when I stay in another house. I want to take care of cats because my experience is based on them. I take care of them as I would take care of my children

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old, and have owned three during my life! I am experienced with walking, training, feeding and just dog care in general. I have cared for both dogs and cats through good and bad health, and I am very flexible to individual pets' needs. I love to provide lots of love, support and care for dogs of any age. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted. As a new graduate with a part-time job, I am available all day on the weekends. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), I am not available between the hours of 1 and 6 PM. I will try to accommodate your availability as much as possible! Feel free to message me and we can discuss a requested time! I can pet sit at the clients home for extended periods or do drop-ins, whatever the client prefers. I can accommodate to my clients' needs for their pet and am very flexible, although I cannot currently bring pets to my home. I can also take the clients' pets in a location they prefer within walking distance.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been surrounded by furry friends since childhood and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and neighbors who trust me with their beloved companions. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for dogs and my ability to connect with each pup's unique personality. I understand that every dog has different needs - whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra playtime, a senior dog requiring gentle care, or a rescue who needs patience and understanding. Your furry family member will get personalized care, plenty of affection, and all the tail-wagging adventures they deserve! I have a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets my full attention and care. This summer break allows me to be fully present for each pet I care for-no rushing between commitments or squeezing in quick visits. Having earned the trust of friends and neighbors over the years, I prioritize your pet's safety and your peace of mind above all else. I maintain secure environments, follow your specific care instructions, and stay attentive to your dog's individual needs and behavior. Whether in your home or mine, I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving the loving care they deserve.

About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.
