“As usual, Alexus did a fantastic job sitting for my dogs for a few days. She really goes above and beyond and it’s clear my girls absolutely love her!”


“Alexis did an amazing job caring for our pup Benny and our home while we were on vacation. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving Benny since he can be a bit high-energy, but Alexis handled him so naturally and confidently. She kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which really helped put me at ease. She made sure Benny got his walks and lots of love, and even left our home clean before she left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—10/10, we would absolutely hire Alexis again!”

“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”

“Jessica was great! Junior liked her right away! She took him on some good walks and sent pictures to show he was doing ok. She was available on short notice. Very grateful for her. 😊”

“Kamari was wonderful! She kept regular communication with us and she sent pictures every day to let us know that our fur babies were well taken care of. We definitely recommend using her to watch after your fur babies as well.”


“Really appreciate Riley's care and attention to my pups. Had a stressful life situation that required a bit of flexibility on dates and she was willing to work with me. She took great care of the house and dogs, and i loved all the photos!”

“Greg spent three weeks at our house looking after our beautiful dog Misty. Greg was wonderful, he cherished and cared for Misty as if she were his own. He also looked after the house, and kept us informed with pictures, videos, and texts, we have no complaints. I highly recommend Greg; you will not be disappointed.”

“My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.”

“First turn since moving that we left our pets for a week, and Hossanna made us feel super comfortable and we could relax knowing our pets were being well taken care of! Very communicative and took great care of the house and our creatures.”

“Second time we have asked Regina to come and watch the doggos for us. Once again she has exceeded expectation. I can't stress enough how well she takes care of the dogs, gives them a ton of attention, and continues to take them through their routines while we are gone. If available, we will always reach out to Regina to watch the pups. Everyone here is a huge fan of her!”

“Koran was absolutely fantastic with our two dogs. They were at ease with her right away and she took great care of them during an overnight stay. She kept us updated throughout. We will definitely request her again the next time we are out of town!”

“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”

“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”


“We love Lam! From the moment we met her, we felt at ease & we could tell our pup felt it too! Definitely recommend - great care & a wonderful person!”

“Jamie and Patrick did a great job caring for our pets during our 10 day trip! They sent regular updates, took our dog for walks, and took care of all our pets needs so that we could relax and not worry at all during our vacation! We definitely plan to use them again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets; from dogs and cats to birds and guinea pigs. I've been helping others go on vacations, certain their pets are comfortable and loved while they're away. Your furry (or feathered or scaley) friends require a little extra love while their family is gone, and I am committed to giving these pets a sense of peace and safety with plenty of extra snuggles and some fun too. I am a student at UNM and love heading home for breaks or for the night to animals and taking care of another creature. Being a student, my schedule is more open than those who work full-time jobs. When caring for someone's pets in their own home, I am careful to ensure the pets don't feel that I am "invading" their space, but that I'm a friend staying with them; ready to sit in quiet, play, or give space as they get used to someone new in their home.
San Jose pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hossanna took great care of our dog and cat! She sent photos and checked in with us. She stayed overnight with them and we felt so much better knowing she was looking after them and they weren’t lonely. She gave medications to our dog, and must’ve done a great job because he is happy and healthy upon our return! Even our cat who is usually shy, made friends with Hossanna.

Regina did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. I received daily updates with pictures of the cats. She was on top of everthing that needed to be done. One of my cats need medication 3 times a day. Regina didn't miss a beat. She adminstered the pill with no problem. She did have a difficulty on one occasion. I told here if she misses one medication the world would not end. It meant a lot to me that she let me know. Overall Regina did an amazing job. I would absolutely provide a good review should someone show interest in having Regina pet sit.

Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!

Melissa saved the day for us. She accepted a last minute booking over the holidays when our plans abruptly changed. She took excellent care of our elderly dog with health problems and our second anxious dog . She left the house clean and her communication was exceptional. She understood our dogs’ needs and worked with them. Highly recommend!
Nora was a fabulous Housesitter. She took excellent care of my golden retriever Ramon and of my home. She sent regular updates, photos and videos. She left the house clean and I came home to a very happy pup! I highly recommend Nora for your housesitting needs.
