About: I have 12 yrs of experience in taking care care of dogs. I can do basic grooming. My mom and I put our effort in helping street dogs since 2016 and had saved more than 80 dogs. So I am good at getting along with all different dogs. Also, based on my experience, I can deal with different kinds of minor health issues and emergency situation. I currently work from home as a UIUX designer so I have a very flexible schedule. So basically I’m free 24/7 and am able to rearrange my time to fit with your schedule. I respect all fur friends and their parents’ places. I strictly follow their rules and requests. Also, I am good at cleaning and pet grooming if you need.
About: One of the greatest pleasures in my life is the care of my family's pets and animals. I have always had a pet (or two) in the house - turtles, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and more. I definitely take my time with pets and I love to love on them like they were my own. Your animals would definitely be well taken care of while you are out. I am a stay at home mom that is always looking for extra work to do with the things I love. I would help take the burden off of you and be there to take care of your pet while you are unable to. I have a loving cat that is very low maintenance. I wish I could have a dog but the landlord won’t allow it right now.
About: Hi! I'm Destiny, A Reliable, Loving Companion for Your Pets. Animals have always been a part of my heart and home. I’ve volunteered at a pet shelter, raised two litters of kittens, and cared for pets with all kinds of personalities—from energetic Siberian Huskies to tiny but sassy Chihuahuas. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight sitting, or just giving your pet the love and attention they need while you're away, I’ve got it covered. I’m dependable, patient, and passionate about making every pet feel safe and cared for. I’ve walked high energy breeds like Huskies daily, pet sat for both dogs and cats, and know how to handle different temperaments and routines with ease.Let’s set up a meet and greet I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! I'm currently a full time worker at a tech company. I'm mostly available after 5pm and all day weekends. Though I can be available as early as 4pm. I'm also mostly available during holidays. My care will be based on clients preferences. If there is anything special or specific instructions like medicine, behavior, or food they will be followed to the best of my ability. The more information i get about the pet from the client the better. I love our fury friends a lot so there safety and comfort is a top priority of mine which is why I would like to know anything about the pet that can make the time away from their beloved family members just a little better.
About: Cats, dogs, chickens, koi fish, rabbits, goats, parrots, and an iguana have all called our tiny farm home. But I’ve always especially had that kitty touch. I work a hybrid schedule, so I am around most of the time. Tues-Thurs I am in the office in Sunnyvale during the day, but prefer to be inside writing outside of business hours, so I tend to hang out with the animals I’m taking care of most of the time. For the doggos, I like to do lots of walks - it’s great for my workout regimen anyway! For the kitties, I spend most of my time writing inside, so they usually like to hang out on/near me depending on what they like!
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid-so much so that I have a childhood diary entry about winning over a neighbor's grumpy cat while pet sitting. She wasn't friendly with most people, but by the end of the week, she curled up on me and fell asleep. That moment stuck with me and I continue caring for pets with the same approach: with patience, calmness, and a genuine love for connecting with animals. Since then, I've looked after pets for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I've cared for high-energy puppies in special training to senior dogs with arthritis. I'm experienced with special diets, giving medication (oral, eardrops, and eyedrops), and animals with special needs (blindness, hip dysplasia, anxiety, arthritis, and more). I feel comfortable walking large, high energy dogs and can also provide training to ensure your dog does not lose progress while you're away. I currently work four days a week with a consistent schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning, evening, and weekend pet care. On my days off, I'm available all days for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I'm great at communicating and always make sure your pet's routine fits smoothly into my day. I understand that routine is important for many pets and want to ensure they get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! When I care for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pet and space with respect and care. I stick closely to your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and provide a loving presence. I'm mindful of safety and understand that it starts before I even enter your home. I'm cautious with "door darters" and follow client guidelines for safe entering and exiting of the home. I keep notes on door locking, windows, and ensure food and medications are not in reach of pets. I also keep things tidy and am happy to water plants and bring in the mail while you're away.
About: My life has been filled with wagging tails and slobbery kisses since I was born. I have been a dog momma for over 20 years and my recent fur baby was a Boxer, who me and my hubby raised together for 14 long years. I am starting my doggy care journey to continue my love and passion for dogs. I am full time available to have fun,host and take care of your furry baby. However, for drop-in visits at your place, I available Friday to Monday (8am - 6PM). I am also available to drop to check-in on your pet and feed them.I am available for dog sitting appointments at my place. Safety,security and trust are my utmost priority at all levels since your furry baby in my house will be treated as my baby!

Chelsea took a great care of our cat while we were on a trip. She also shared lots of photos of our cat during the drop in visits, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Chelsea!
She is responsive and professional! My cat is not a easy one, but she handled the situation well and followed all my instructions. Would love her to help me out again in the future!
I am glad I found Jingting to take care of Boots. Not only was she extremely friendly but also very communicative by sending updates with photos and videos. She played with him and my kitty trusted her as well. Highly recommend.
Jenifer looked after my cat for two days and nailed every detail. She followed the care notes, sent prompt updates, and still made time for extra play and treats. I came home to a calm, happy cat, exactly what you want from a sitter.
Lucy is amazing! She came over a couple of days before our actual visit and took the time to go over all the details in person with us which made us feel super confident and comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care! We loved all the photo updates we got, even if it was a photo of our kitty under the covers :) Will definitely be rebooking with Lucy in the future!
super nice and great with my cats inhaler and ear medication. she was really kind and noticed when he needed more medication and more food ordered and she also was super proactive about making sure the air-conditioning is on for him.
Julianna was so helpful and responsive throughout the process. She was even able to help out when my flight got cancelled and I couldn’t make it home for one more day which gave me such peace of mind knowing Kitz was taken care of 💗
this was our first time using Rover, and we were very nervous having someone new in our space, and with Squid. Shani was very easy to work with, gave detailed updates (with photos), and gave us so much peace of mind - we are thankful we found someone so responsible, punctual, and neat (not to mention patient, as we are very new pet parents). if we were to book again, it’d deff be with Shani!(:
Suz is always incredible. I swear, our kitty knows when she's coming to see him and he gets so excited! I always know that when I go on a trip he's going to be happy, healthy, and safe. Suz is fantastic -- cannot recommend her enough!
Estefania helped drop in on my cat while I was away. She was amazing, was very communicative and friendly. She sent lots of pics and videos. She did great with my young kitten and took very good care of her, will definitely be re-booking in the future and would recommend to others.
Keilani did a great job taking care of our three pets while we were on vacation. She was even able to look after them an extra day when we wanted to extend our trip. Our pets were in great hands with Keilani.
Kenny was so sweet and loving with our cats. He communicated with us during our trip about a few mishaps, which we so appreciated.
Matt was great meeting my sort of deaf grumpy-ish old dog. Arrived with treats which Flynn sniffed out immediately. Matt had easy and welcoming manner. I’d absolutely book with him again when I need dog care.
I felt so comfortable and happy to leave my kitties under Chaitrali’s care. She genuinely loves animals, is diligent in her tasks and takes extra steps to make sure I’m informed of the visit. Chaitrali is very flexible and was happy to accommodate a last minute booking. Would absolutely recommend her to check in on your pets and I will use her every time :)
Yingxue is considerate and definitely a cat lover! She not only makes sure to follow the instructions for every visit, but also showers my baby with love. I've requested drop-in visits from her a few times, and she has become one of my cat's favorites already :)
Andrew is so great with my Marina. He makes sure that I have a pic, so I’m not missing her too much during my work trip.
Jacob is so awesome, thoughtful and attentive! He found a way patiently when our callbox wouldn’t work and gave my cat Romeo all the love and affection we needed while we were away.
Laural was fantastic in taking care of our little dog. We requested for two visits a day where she fed and walked our dog. She is detailed in what she does and promptly reported summary of her visits, and any issues. We will definitely use her services again.
Liya did a great job cat sitting my boys. They both seemed to enjoy her company very much. I didn't need to worry about them while on vacation because she sent updates and pictures regularly. Would definitely book Liya again next time. Thanks!
I strongly recommend Nicolette for pet care! We hired her for two weeks of drop-in visits to feed and care for our dogs, and she proved to be excellent with them. Her thoroughness and genuine care for our pets, along with her effective communication, were truly impressive. We're incredibly grateful to have found Nicolette on Rover; her assistance has made a significant positive impact on our routine. Thank you, Nicolette!
