About: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds! I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement! My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!

“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”

“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”

About: I was raised with cats and dogs ever since I was a little kid. I can’t recall a time in my life where there wasn’t a furry friend around. Many of my pets I’ve had since they were babies until old age, so I have experience with animals of all age groups as well as breeds as small as chihuahuas to large Siberian huskies. I also have experience giving medications from my time watching a cavapoo with heart and lung issues. I’ve been off work the past 4 months because I recently had a baby girl and she loves our pets at home, but I want to get us out of the house more and what better way to do that than meeting new furry friends! I’m very respectful of peoples spaces and routines and always leave a space exactly as it was. I am willing and able to do whatever needs to be done to ensure the best care I am capable of providing
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
About: I have had pets of my own my whole life including dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, fish, turtles & bunnies. I am a vegetarian I love animals truly more than humans. I love to play, pet, or just spend time with animals. I am trustworthy, responsible, and reliable and I would love to look after your pet for you. I know it is scary to trust someone else with your pet but I would take care of them the very best and as if they were my own. I have a part time job, but still lots of free time to help out with your pets needs. My schedule changes week to week. I live in a house with 4 pets already, I would not be able to take any big animals home to look after. I can watch them at your home no problem and it is where they are more comfortable anyways.
About: Hello! My name is Xiuhui (Sophie). I’m a dedicated dog sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have a poodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming, feeding, and creating a calm, structured environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s habits, diet, and emotional needs, and follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving home away from home. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need extra attention. Over the years, my own dog has experienced various health conditions, so I’m patient and comfortable providing gentle, attentive care when needed. I intentionally keep my boarding small (usually 1–2 dogs at a time), so each dog receives focused attention, consistent supervision, and personalized care. You’re always welcome to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, and light exercise. I provide a calm and comfortable environment and am best suited for dogs with moderate or lower energy levels, so they can feel relaxed and at ease during their stay. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community. My home has a comfortable private patio where dogs can relax, enjoy fresh air, and sunbathe safely. Right downstairs, there’s a fenced dog park where dogs can safely go off-leash for potty breaks and light activity, making daily care convenient and stress-free. I always ensure dogs are in a safe, calm, and clean environment.
“Excellent pet walker. Hope took care of Goldie so well. He was so happy to be around her the whole time. She was on time and was very helpful communicating with us the whole time.”

About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.
About: Saturday Grace has been an avid cat-lover all their life. They currently live with mostly senior cats and have lots of experience with subcutaneous fluids, medication, and general senior cuddling. But fear not! Saturday has also fostered many kittens, including those abandoned by their mamas and in need of bottle feeding. Saturday is an all ages cat-carer. Saturday has recently discovered their love of dogs as well. They love providing care, short walks, and lots and lots of snuggles to their canine friends. Saturday does best with small and medium dogs. They only take large dogs if they don't need walks. When they are not entirely absorbed by pet-cuddles, Saturday can be found reading, writing, or attempting not to kill their garden. As a full-time pet sitter, your fur babies are the focus of my day. I'm available for drop-in visits either morning (6am-noon), afternoon (noon-5pm), or evening (5pm-10pm). If I'm house sitting for your pets, we'll come up with an agreed upon schedule for when they need me home. I appreciate being able to care for pets in their own environments where they feel safe. I will respect your home just as if it were my own. At our meet and greet will discuss any house care (ie: mail or plant watering) as well as any house rules (ie: Miffie isn't allowed in the office). We will also discuss sleeping arrangements, if that applies.
About: I have taken care of rescue dogs and also dogs with heavily ignored background and they are my besties now. I can Walk and feed them And I can prepare special organic homemade recipes for them for additional cost (They deserve more than heavily processed food, which causes them a number of health issues) I am rather flexible throughout the week and weekends. Your dog can have playtime with my dogs or we can separate them if you prefer to do so I have a fenced backyard to protect your fur baby outdoor with security cameras controlling the entrance. I have a gated indoor hallway That I can leave it open or closed depending on your preference and how our dogs are getting along together 🐾💚
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

About: This is my first professional dog walking experience. I have walked plenty of dogs, both my own and my family’s and friend’s. I like dogs and enjoy walking outdoors, so dog walking felt like a natural way for me to help local pet owners. I’m a full time dad and my youngest is starting kindergarten soon, so I will have extra time in the morning. I also have a medical problem that requires I walk every day, so this would really help me too. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with patience, respect, and kindness while keeping you informed and confident throughout the walk.

About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. Whether your puppy loves long walks, playtime or just relaxing with company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away! 🫶🏻 I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, can follow feeding and medication schedules and always prioritize their safety and well being. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your doggy is in my care! I prioritize pet care with structured feeding times, dedicated play sessions and walks ensuring my companions receive the attention and love they deserve throughout the week. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet friendly environment with scheduled feeding, regular play time and walks. For client's homes, I adapt to the pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining routine, administering medications if needed, and offering personalized care to ensure their well-being and happiness. Open communication with clients keeps them updated and reassured while they're away so I make sure to provide photos!
About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating
About: I’ve been a true dog-and-cat person since junior high. Growing up, I was basically the “head zookeeper” of our home (2 dogs, 2 cats!), so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and quirks.Now, as a full-time WFH professional based in San Jose, I’m home all day—meaning your pup gets constant attention, care, and companionship. I don’t just watch dogs—I treat them like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ The "SJC Convenience" 🛫 Traveling soon? I’m located in San Jose, just about 20 minutes from San Jose Mineta International Airport, making drop-off easy and convenient on your way to the airport.I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings and unexpected travel plans—if your trip comes up suddenly, you can count on me for reliable care. This is your dog’s second home ❤️ - Total Supervison: I’m home 24/7. No lonely pups here! 🏠 - Built-in Bestie: Our friendly Cockapoo puppy is always down to play. 🐩 - Same-Day Ready: Urgent daycare or emergency boarding? No problem. ⚡ - Photo Updates: I’ll send plenty of pics so you can relax on your trip. 📸 I have a remote job, so your dog will have 24/5 companionship and supervision during the week. I offer boarding Monday through Friday and are always open for last-minute or same-day bookings for those urgent needs. I also provide walking services when I don’t have pups boarding at home. While I focus on weekdays, I’m happy to discuss weekend care for my regular, returning clients! Safety is my top priority, and since I’m home full-time, I’m always there to keep a close eye on everyone. I have a friendly young Cockapoo in our apartment, but I’m very careful about how dogs interact. If your pup is a bit shy or just isn't in the mood to meet our puppy, I can easily give them their own dedicated room to relax in so they feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine your dog is used to at home. If you prefer they be crated for naps or bedtime, I can definitely make that happen. Whether they are playing with our pup or enjoying some quiet time, they’ll be treated like a member of our family the whole time they are here.
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he turned 7 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.
About: Definitely will be the filler of entertainment and fun when you need me to be! I love making a dogs tail wag and their drool hit the ground; I love giving belly rubs till they sleep and walking them till they get enough pats and “aw cute dog” compliments along the way! I’ve got the patience to learn about your dog and appreciate all their flaws and paws. Needless to say, not having a dog of my own anymore has made me really miss and want to buff up my skills on doggy caring so that I can be better prepared when I have my own little ball of fur around my home. I will put my heart into caring for them every step, walk, jog, and skip!
“I had such a great experience working with Grace! She’s very confident and educated. I never had to worry about leaving Jake in her care. I always got a lot of updates and she pays attention to detail. You can trust your pet will be safe and taken care of.”

North Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!

Elizabeth was absolutely lovely! We had a wonderful meet and greet, Carly took to her immediately and she doesn't do that with everyone. Elizabeth checked in and sent photos. When I got home it was clear that she had taken wonderful care of my pup. I will absolutely have her again.

Katie helped me out last minute when I was in a pinch. I have never hired a dog walker through Rover and have only previously used dog sitting services. However, Katie made the process super easy. She spent extra time with my girl and made sure she had the walk she deserved that day.

Christina was absolutely wonderful with Puzzle! This was their first walk together, and she handled everything with so much grace and patience. I ran into some issues with my door lock which delayed the start of her visit, but Christina was incredibly understanding and communicative throughout the entire process. She even worked with the leasing office to ensure she can get a hold of me. What really stood out were the amazing photos and videos she sent. Being away at work can be stressful, but seeing those updates made me feel so comforted. It was clear that Puzzle was having a great time and was in excellent hands. I’m more than happy with the care she provided and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, patient, and detail-oriented sitter for their pups!

Francesca showed up right on time and was very friendly and professional. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. Loki was happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciated how easy and smooth the whole experience was. I would definitely book with Francesca again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter in the area.

Always a pleasure working with Jae! My dog got into something he shouldn’t have the night before a walk so I decided to stay home the next day to monitor symptoms. At our request, Jae kindly canceled our scheduled walk last minute. I greatly appreciate the flexibility!

Amazing service! Communication was smooth and easy from start to finish. They were very friendly and took great care of my dog—making sure he had food and fresh water. They also walked him for 30 minutes and even spent extra time beyond what was expected. I really appreciate the care and attention. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Thy as a dog walker. She is very professional and is an excellent communicator as well. She pays attention to details and asks questions pertaining to caring for my dog and I can tell that she cares about how well she does her job. Best of all, she shows lots of love to Tobi. We’re lucky to have her!!
