“Nikisha did a great job checking in on our cats. She did everything we asked and provided a thorough summary of her visits, including photos. We recommend Nikisha!”
“Son provided exceptional service and took care of our Hanji so well. We gave him a very short notice during the holidays, but he promptly agreed to help my family out without hesitation. Son was very detail oriented, great communication, punctual on updates, and made sure all our concerns are fully addressed. Son went above and beyond our expectations and he has all the passion for working with animals. I highly recommend his services.”
“Mallory is fantastic! Reliable, attentive, thorough, and provided detailed updates and photos. She gave the gift of peace of mind, especially as my dog is elderly and gets a variety of medicines and ointments. I would absolutely book again.”
“Hailey is so amazing. Great communications, takes plenty of lovely pet pics so you don’t miss them so much. And makes everything easy and effortless. Would highly recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for an Akita dog and cats since they were just seven weeks old, and I currently look after a one-year-old corn snake and two four-year-old river turtles. I understand that every pet has its own routine, preferences, and comfort zone, and I’m patient and attentive to those individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I communicate clearly with pet parents, provide regular photo updates, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. Your pets’ happiness and safety always come first — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I can provide pet care on weekdays, both early mornings and late nights, with flexibility on weekends to fit your schedule and your pets routine! At your home, I make sure your pet’s space stays familiar and comforting. I follow their usual schedule for feeding, play, and rest, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Hope is a very nice and responsible sitter. My dogs love her. One of my dog Vishaka is stranger unfriended. But she gradually accepted and love her. She begged her to pet the last few sitting days. Hope messaged me and sent pictures everyday during the sitting. Thanks to Hope, my family were able to enjoy the vacation and no worries of the dogs.”
“Diana was AMAZING. She saw our sick cat on very last minute notice, worked so hard to get her meds in (even though my cat can be resistant), made sure my kitty was super comfortable, sent us ABUNDANT photos, put out a whole array of different foods from different places in our apartment as we were trying to get her to eat, etc. the list goes on. We were so incredibly worried about our kitty and Diana put us at ease with her care. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was also just so kind, patient, generous, and communicative the whole way!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and family dogs for the past 3 years and I treat them as if I had my own dog. I walk, feed and play with them to keep them entertained while also letting them relax and adjust to me. I currently work 8-5pm on the weekdays and telework some days. The weekends are the best time for me to care for your furbabies. I can also house sit with the dog as well. The way I will care for a pet in their own home is listen to the boundaries in place but also create special moments with the dog by making sure they are safe and out of harms way.
About: I've been looking after family and friends' pets for 10 years, I also had a 16-year-old American Eskimo of my own. I have cared for both high-energy and elderly dogs. I'm all about building trust and being reliable, so you can count on me to keep you in the loop and follow your instructions to a T. I truly love animals and will treat them like my own! I am attending a Master’s program online and am usually home, so my schedule is very flexible and I have ample time to care for your pet. My backyard is completely fenced in with a grass lawn for your pet to explore. I will also take many pictures when caring for your pet to keep you updated!
“Chris was such an excellent cat-sitter for our two furballs. He is clearly comfortable with animals and even our super shy cat opened up to him quickly. He kept us updated daily and went above and beyond in his care for our cats. Would highly recommend Chris as your next pet-sitter. Thanks Chris!!!”
About: I love dogs, I walk dogs often at my parents house with their dogs. My parents have two dogs. A large dog and a small dog. I like to walk the dogs to the park which is about a mile away, hang out at the park before returning back to their house. I am currently working full time. I work in healthcare. I have a flexible schedule. Typically work 8/9ish - 4/5ish. I am also a single parent to a 15 year old, sometimes she will join me if she isn’t feeling lazy haha Your pets safety is my number one priority. I will treat your pet like my own. Your pet will remain safe under my care. I will be happy to send you photos, videos and take your phone calls at any time.
“Michele is the most responsible and trustworthy cat sitter, she took good care of my cat and was able to gain some trust from my skittish cat. Love her. Highly recommend Michele.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yifei as our cat sitter. She took great care of cleaning the litter box, checking and refilling food, changing the water, and spending plenty of time playing with our cat. Our cat clearly loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also uploaded photos regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. We’re extremely satisfied and would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Li is a terrific cat sitter! I felt confident having her cat sit after meeting her. She made friends with my cat Rosie right away, talking to her, playing with her, and understanding Rosie’s every need. I loved getting daily photos and videos of Rosie while I was away. I do think Rosie misses her now that I’m home!”
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’ve cared for my 2 big babies for about 8 years now. At first I had only one dog, then she got pregnant and I helped deliver all her babies at home. We found homes for all of them, but we kept one. So now they are mother and daughter duo. I’m currently open to work from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday through Friday. Please consider me to take care of your fur baby when you’re away from home. At home I have two loving dogs that are freed to roam everywhere. They are friendly with people just not so much other fur babies.
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

Emily was extremely caring and went above and beyond by spending a lot of extra time with Luna so she wouldn't be lonely. The communication was excellent—we received consistent updates and adorable photos the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such loving hands. We are so happy with the care Luna received!
Ni is, without a doubt, the most responsible Rover sitter we have ever had. Not only did she carefully follow all of our instructions, but she consistently went above and beyond by spending extra time playing with and cuddling our cat, Lottery. Every visit came with detailed updates, lots of photos and videos, and she even kept an eye out for things around the house that we might not have thought to check ourselves. Honestly, I think Lottery now loves Ni more than anyone besides me and my husband! Cats are the best judges of character, and Lottery’s affection is the clearest proof of how well Ni cared for him. She made him feel comfortable, happy, and loved, which in turn gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found Ni, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to care for Lottery when we’re away. Thank you, Ni—you are absolutely amazing! ❤️🐱
We were extremely happy with Yifei’s care. We entrusted our 16-year-old cat to her for five days. Due to our cat’s health condition, he needed liquid gabapentin administered by syringe into his mouth, and she handled this responsibility wonderfully. When we returned home from our trip, it was clear that everything had been done exactly as we had requested, and our cat was calm, comfortable, and happy. Normally, after we come back from a vacation, he is stressed and has usually lost some weight. This time, however, he was relaxed, content, and had maintained his weight perfectly. It was obvious that he had a great time with his sitter. In fact, before we arrived home, I checked the camera and saw him waiting by the door, most likely expecting her to come. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you’re reading this review, don’t hesitate for a second—reach out to her directly. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you so much
We just had an amazing experience with Son caring for our two dogs. He was super attentive to our 13 year old Labradors need and gave our Husky special attention during his visits. Son is very reliable and has excellent communication. We will be using his services in the future. Thank you Som for everything !
Meg was so exceptional with our cat while we were away, we could tell he was getting so much love with her and such great play time. Her rover cards had the best pictures and made our hearts so happy!! She knew exactly how to cat with him and it was everything he needed. I would recommend her a thousand times over!
If you're looking for a phenomenal cat sitter, Anabel is the one. She was always on time and super responsive whenever I reached out, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I also really appreciated how flexible she was with the timing. Going above and beyond just the basic care, she actually took the time to train my cat! It was such a cool surprise and shows how much she truly engages with the pets she watches. Highly recommend!
Laurelle was great from day one, she spent extra time helping Bunny and Simba get comfortable and really focused on building trust with them. She was very thoughtful and communicative, even working around unforeseen issues proactively. It’s clear she’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her!
