“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: We are a pet-loving family of three including one responsible, homebody teenager. We enjoy making canine friends by fostering from California Doodle Rescue and Doggy Protective Services (DPS). My husband works part time and spends most of the day at home as does my teenage son. Our favorite activity with our furry guests is to go on multiple daily walks around our neighborhood park a mere 100 yards away. When at home, our furry friends have access to frolicking and playing in 9000 SF of fully fenced in back yard. We are restricting our doggy care to one dog at a time, unless you have multiple canines because we want to focus specifically upon the needs of you and your treasured pet first. Your pet will enjoy three walks a day around the park and neighborhood, fed according to their normal schedule, and exercised or played with throughout the day. If you’d like, we would be happy to send you photos and videos of your pets vacation with us.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving medication to dogs, including helping care for my neighbors’ dogs as well. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable around both dogs and cats. I’m willing to help in any way I can and can’t wait to meet your pet! I just graduated from college and moved back home so I am able to help whenever you need. I am also very flexible and can work around your schedule! I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel cared for and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any specific needs or preferences the pet may have. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away.

“Having my outdoor cats cared for by Katrena gives me peace of mind when I need to be away from home. Katrena takes the time to understand your unique care setup and sends regular updates. In her spare time, she even volunteer's at a cat fostering rescue. Katrena is a pleasure to work with, and most of all she really loves cats!”

“I needed someone to come in the mornings to feed my cats. Tyler was available after my original Rover booking canceled on me at the last minute. He checked in with me before leaving each day to make sure that I didn't need anything else. I appreciated the status updates and follow-up questions to be as helpful as he could.”

“My cats took to Brooke right away, but what impressed me is her professionalism. When I’m gone, my sister cat-sits, but does not clean their litter box. So it’s not a huge job, nontheless, Brooke arrived daily, swept out their litter box, cleaned-up and dumped in the bin near my condo. She is smart, funny, and loves animals. My sister says Brooke’s visit was the event of the day for the cats. Really appreciated her upbeat personality and reliability. We hope to see her again. Meanwhile, highly recommend!”

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. If you have an energetic dog, I can take them on runs, jogs or long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a calmer dog then leisurely strolls around the neighborhood it will be. I have experience with shy and reactive dogs and I can give them the patience they need. I am also happy to just cuddle and spend quality time with your dog or cat. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me. Pet care fits perfectly in my schedule. I am a college freshman who is off for the summer and 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. Personalized care and giving your companions lots of love and attention are things I will do to make your pet feel happy and safe.

About: Growing up with cats and dogs, I understand the depth of care, attention, and empathy each furry friend deserves. I am committed to delivering the very best care, determined to ease any stress that comes with a temporarily absent owner. I love physical fun, including walks, jogs and hikes. I prioritize the dog or cat’s care, safety, and comfort. I am patient and I would love to meet your pup or kitty! I work remotely, which benefits my furry clients very much! (I will just ask for a WIFI connection). I’m very flexible and am able to travel if you live relatively close by. Pups are always welcome at my home, but I prefer to come to you. I am happy to include pups in my pre-existing routines of morning walks or jogs or evening walks, jogs or hikes. Whatever the pup enjoys most!

About: I have had dogs and cats in my family home since I was a child. My mom and I provided fostering services and we took care of any needs the pets had. We had to deal with many emergency situations and we got very familiar with animals and what they need. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society and helped in any way that I could. I give my 100% to animals because they don't have a voice and they all deserve the best care! I treat the animals like I would like to be treated myself. I will always make sure to check on their needs and be very proactive. I have a dog friendly apartment community that is perfect for dog walking as well. I also have watched a lot of senior dogs, and I’m very familiar with giving them their medication and taking extra good care of them. I work from home full-time, so I am able to give your dogs the attention they need and take them out however often you would like. I am very good with animals and understanding what they need. I am extremely attentive and over protective and I am always monitoring my pets and others pets at all times. I just want to make sure they are happy and comfortable at all times. I truly believe in making the owner, feel confident and comfortable that they can enjoy their time away by knowing that their baby will have the best care.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Almaden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
