“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter come and stay in our home. We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela and would definitely hire her again. She was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures of the animals. It made our get away so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Gabriela for all your pet sitting needs!”
“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! 🥰🐾”
“Michelle did a fabulous job caring for our Ellie girl! She was even willing to endure some middle of the night potty breaks. We came home to a happy, healthy girl and a tidy house. We will definitely use Michelle again in the future!”
About: Ever since I was little I always loved dogs and animals of any kind and because I had multiple dogs growing up, I learned how to take care of them. I currently have one yorkshire terrier named Luna. You can count on me to follow your instructions and keep you updated when you’re away. I am pretty much available full-time, and my schedule is very flexible! But still, feel free to send me a message for any questions :) Thanks to my personal experiences with taking care of dogs and cats, I’ll make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’ll update you with text messages and a bunch of pictures when caring for your pet.
“Alexus was so good with our cat Wally. She sent me pictures and updates, he was well loved and cared for! She left our home clean and left me no worries. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for over 20 years and understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine. I provide calm, patient care with frequent photo updates. I currently have one dog, Momo, a shy and gentle 75 lb girl, and one cat, MiaoMiao, a sweet and affectionate 5.5 lb girl, so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of very different temperaments and sizes. I provide attentive, detail-oriented care including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication if needed, and lots of patience and love. I’m especially mindful of shy, sensitive, or anxious pets and always work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day. For dogs, I can offer frequent walks multiple times daily based on their needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive to keeping the space tidy. I provide full-day companionship whenever needed and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.
“Grace did a fantastic job! She sent many pictures of the pets, and we were very comfortable and relaxed while she was watching the pets. Grace kept in contact with me frequently, with any questions or concerns. The pets were very happy in the videos that she shared. We will definitely use her again.”
“Keilah did a great job caring for my Golden Retriever in my home during my 3 day trip. She sent photos and videos of her walks and playing with my dog. She also took good care of my home. She was very professional in how she approached the job. Thanks, Keilah”
“Sydney was so awesome with our dogs and cat! She house-sat for us over an extended weekend, and made sure that our animals were safe and taken care of. One of our dogs requires medication a couple times a day, and she was super on top of giving it to her and letting us know. We definitely recommend Sydney!! She was wonderful 😊”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”
About: I have 7 yrs experience with dog. My 8yrs old daughter loves pets and pets love her. She is very warm hearted and gentle with pets. This is a very great mom daughter bonding time for us to take care of your pets. And I want her to learn to be more responsible and get a sense of money. Your pets will have great time with us! Our schedule is very flexible. It can be discussed. I’m working from home. And most weekends are free as well. Contact me for more information. I will send you pictures of your pets when we are with them. We will feed them and make sure water is served. We will also play with them after meal
“Dionna was very professional and caring. Our pup Sadie took to her immediately. Dionna sent photos and kept us updated on Sadie’s activities. I would recommend Dionna and would have her sit for us again.”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Rachel was wonderful with our energetic little dog. She left the house cleaner than we left it, gave her lots of activity and love, and was an excellent communicator! I felt so safe having her with Little Bear!”
“Kristine was amazing with our dog, she kept us updated throughout, followed all the instructions perfectly and our dog loved her. She made me feel at ease and our dog naturally trusted her. She’s very easy to talk to and responds almost immediately for any questions. We would definitely use her help again in the future.”
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 2 years, helping friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, and playtime. I enjoy giving pets attention and keeping them safe and happy. I have flexible availability and can adjust my schedule to fit pet care needs. Weekdays after school/work and weekends are usually open for dog walks and visits. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks, and create a caring environment
North San Jose pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kenny did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away for three weeks. Since my cats are normally very cautious around new people, I was impressed by how quickly he gained their trust. The daily updates and photos were greatly appreciated and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. It was clear that he genuinely cared for them, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
Devin was a fantastic dog sitter. He was communicative, punctual, proactive, and went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. He took them on lots of adventures and you could tell the dogs really enjoyed his company. The house was clean when we got home. Looking forward to having him sit again in the future!
Parind was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! From the moment they met, it was clear that Parind has a genuine love for animals and a natural ability to make dogs feel comfortable and at ease. Daisy was happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time throughout the entire stay. Parind provided us with timely updates and photos, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't recommend Parind more highly and will absolutely be booking again!
Ava was awesome! She took excellent care of my cat and dog for two weeks, and went above and beyond when my dog needed to go to the vet. She had great communication and sent a lot of cute photos. Being so far away on my trip was made easier knowing my pets were ok and enjoying hanging out with her. Highly recommend!
Grace did a fantastic job! She sent many pictures of the pets, and we were very comfortable and relaxed while she was watching the pets. Grace kept in contact with me frequently, with any questions or concerns. The pets were very happy in the videos that she shared. We will definitely use her again.
Danielle was amazing! She did not have an easy feat keeping our dog & cat separate! We liked her from the moment we met. Totally aware of our needs & expectations. Kept in contact the entire time & sent pics! This was our 1st time using Rover! I’m so relieved that we found Danielle! Looking forward to having her again! Josie (cat) Luna (dog) can’t wait either!
Hugo made an almost instant connection with Gon. He sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Gon is usually a very anxious dog, but he settled in comfortably with Hugo. He’s incredibly patient and caring. I would absolutely book him again. Thank you, Hugo! 😊
