About: I have lots of experience looking after family, friend, and neighborhood cats, dogs, and fish throughout high school and college! Clean, tidy, responsible, and caring. I’m currently working a part-time, remote job, so my availability is very flexible! Happy to meet your and your pets’ needs. Weekday and weekend availability. Unfortunately my apartment doesn’t allow pets :( However, I am more than happy to look after your loved ones at your own residence where they’re most comfortable!
“Cameron was very responsive and comfortable with handling my 65 pound dog. My dog also warmed up to him much quicker than he would with the average stranger/sitter. Thank you Cameron for a wonderful session.”

About: Want help walking your furry friend? Then you’re in good hands. I’m Shobi, and I love dogs 🐶 I will be walking and looking after your dogs. I live in Palo Alto with my 2 kind and caring daughters ages 11 and 9, who are gentle and pet loving. I am a local pet lover offering dependable walking and boarding services. I provide walks that include exercise, water, and clean up, and a loving home for your pet if you need to go away for a bit. For walking, I’m available on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends at any time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available after 3:30pm. I may also be available to look after your pet when you are away, at our home. Please enquire for availability. I will be mainly offering dog walking and boarding services at this point. I may be able to dog sit on occasion, please enquire for availability. Will provide fresh water, exercise and clean up during walks. For boarding we can offer 3 or more walks per day as required, plus lots of play and activities (if the dog would enjoy that), and a cozy bed to sleep at night. We can cater to your dog’s needs as per your preference.

“Meg has had three really positive visits with our often super anxious cat. We love that our cat has been calm in Meg’s presence each time. We appreciate that Meg has been communicative each visit. We would recommend her and look forward to her checking in on our cat in the near future.”

About: We are Farah and Tommy, an engaged couple living in Palo Alto and looking for more time with animals! We are trusted dog and cat sitters for our friends and family, but we recently thought to give Rover a try. Message us if your pet needs some extra love and attention while you take care of yourself! One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we should be pet owners, and we probably will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us and explore new neighborhoods! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. We have no pets in our house and we plan to take care of one pet at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are comfortable
About: I grew up around dogs and even fostered a few throughout my college years. I have the strength to walk any dog and am very active if they need lots of walking. I understand their personalities and always lead with love🐶 I’m currently working part time and am always open to working around your schedule. Weekends during the day are always busier for me but I’m flexible and will put your pet first. Pets at my home have the apartment to run free, although I do not have outdoor space those who require it will get more than enough outdoor time. I spend most of my time outdoors and they are always welcome to join.
“Had to ask Rachel last minute to look after my cat after a 7 hour flight delay. She responded quickly and was able to drop by immediately to take care of my cat! Great response time and glad I could rely on her in a pinch.”

“MJ is an incredible dog sitter!! It's so clear that she loves dogs and it's mutual -- my dog loves her!! Her communication is incredible, she really helps engage my pup and help her learn, and she's so intuitive. I'm so grateful I found her!!”

“Jess was awesome! We had a change of plans last minute before the Memorial Day weekend and I was able to find Jess the day before we left. We scheduled a meet and greet the day we were leaving to give her the rundown on how to take care of our dog (Bella), 3 guinea pigs, and rabbit. She took it all in and exceeded my expectations as I was expecting a phone call or message about something but I never did. She absolutely took great care of all of our animals!”
“Sjofn was soooooo happy to get so many belly rubs she was thrilled and didn’t want them to leave. I highly recommend Guilherme and his wife. Sjofn would be thrilled to get more belly rubs and I would be happy to have them watch her again :)”

“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.

Andriana was an amazing sitter for my boy Monty! She provided lots of updates and photos and followed all of our instructions to a T. She left the place spotless and provided amazing and clear communication! She obviously cares a lot about the pets she cares after, monty would love her as a sitter any time!

Jess did great with Moose! The meet and greet beforehand helped us (and Moose) to feel really comfortable with everything. Jess asked great questions, showing how much she cared about the visit! And we appreciated her flexibility with last minute time changes. Thank you Jess!! 🐾🐾

Jordan was outstanding. 10/10 would book with her again. She treated our cat Juniper like her own and was so thoughtful about sharing updates and taking pictures. Little Junebug was happy as a clam when we got back from our trip, her coat was shiny, and her eyes clear. And that is saying a lot since other times we have left her with cat sitters we've returned to find her scrawny and overgroomed from stress. Thank you, Jordan!!!

Rachel is amazing! She is really clued in to our cat’s well being and quirky habits. Her daily reports (including things she notices that are non-pet related, like houseplant watering needs) and attention to detail make us feel completely at ease while we are gone. She’s the absolute best!!!
I can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!

Jenna is an exceptional cat sitter, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. She is warm, kind, and naturally wonderful with animals. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in her care.
Xiaomeng did such an amazing job with my cat Barnie! She was so meticulous about making sure he was eating and going to the bathroom enough, and always spent extra time playing with him. She also always uploaded so many sweet photos of him!!! This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience thanks to her :)

Kenzi was amazing with our cat! She was very communicative and detailed in every Rover report card, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our cat can be very aggressive with strangers and has even attacked previous nannies, but Kenzi was incredibly patient with her and also creative in distracting her while she cleaned the litter and took care of everything. By the end, our cat was trusting her enough to let her pet her sometimes, which is a HUGE deal! Kenzi was also punctual, respectful, and followed all our instructions perfectly. We will definitely book her again for future trips!
