About: 8+ years of hands-on pet care experience. From a young age, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments As an athlete and boxer, I naturally enjoy staying active What sets me apart is my calm, patient personality and genuine ability to connect with both pets and owners. I take time to learn each animal’s individual needs, routines Whether it’s exercise, medication reminders, feeding, playtime , and comfort levels so they feel safe and happy. SPECIAL SKILLS -I’m also equipped with a truck for safe transportation to vet appointments, parks, in addition to services I offer professional baths & grooming at local pet stores. Fully comfortable with multi-pet households and all types of animals. I treat every pet with the same care I give my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m very flexible with my schedule and structure my days around pet care. I typically do morning walks and drop-ins before 9am, midday check-ins, and evening visits after 5pm. On weekends I’m wide open for overnights or longer sitting. Pet care is my priority — I plan my routine so your dog always gets consistent, quality time without feeling rushed In my home, pets get constant supervision, structured playtime, potty breaks, and meals on their normal schedule. I’m experienced with crate training if needed and always keep a calm, secure environment. In your home I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks, and any medication. Safety and trust come first
“Aunt Tania is our kitty’s favorite—we always know our baby is in great hands. She goes above and beyond as both a cat and house sitter, sending daily photos, watering plants, and leaving our home spotless. She even adds the sweetest welcome-home notes. We highly recommend her!”
“Mayra was absolutely amazing and helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed someone to watch our pups. Mayra arrived on time and sent pics of our pups and we are so appreciative!”
“Mason was a great sitter for our two cats! He was communicative, left the house so clean and most importantly, we came home to happy and loving cats. Would definitely recommend!”
“We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs, a solid sign that they were in good hands while we were away. House was just as clean as we left it when we got back, and we appreciated the photos/updates sent during our trip. Would book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life. I grew up with 4 bigs dogs. Recently I’ve been doing walks on apps, I’ve done over 70+ services ranging from taking care of old pets to very young ones. People always set me as their preferred walker since they love that I listen to their rules and go on long walks with their dogs. For a 60 minute walk I average about 2-3 miles, depending on the dog. I’m currently a student at San Jose State University and I look forward to doing some walks or other services on the weekends when I’m back home, also I can do walks or sittings on the weekdays when I off school. I have a fenced yard, the dogs and cats are allowed in the house and my room. I will make sure to always keep a lookout and have them be where I am at.
“Alexandra recently stayed at our house for 5 days and care for our two dogs. Our older dog is 16 and is blind and deaf. He requires meds twice a day and needs to be carried outside to pee and poop. Our other dog is an energetic goofball who barks when excited and requires a great deal of reassurance. Alexandra was a pro. She was unflappable. Throughout the week she sent updates every day and pics of happy dogs! The house was left in perfect condition. We couldn’t be happier!”
About: My name is Danielle and I love caring for animals of all kinds. I currently take care of a small dog, Bubs, and a cat, Moose. As a pet owner I know how important your animals are to you. I am punctual, dependable, trustworthy, and know how to keep your pet engaged. I have been caring for animals most of my life and it brings me so much joy. I am usually the friend people call when they need their house or pet looked after. I am good at communicating and can keep you updated with texts or photos. Thank you for your consideration I am self employed and have a flexible schedule. I like to pick up pet care work when I have extra time and as a source of extra income. I can take your dog on engaging walks and get them easily into their crate if needed. I can check on their food/water, give them pets, treats, or engaging playtime. I love connecting with your pet and tending to their specific needs. I can update you on how they are doing and if there were any issues.
About: I volunteer at a dog shelter which has improved my skills in dog walking and understanding dog behavior. I have been taking care of dogs for neighbors, friends and family since I was 12. I walk dogs daily, prepare meals, play with them, and give medication, if needed. Hi. My name is Yesica. I just finished my first year at university, so I am currently on summer vacation. My schedule is open and flexible so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets throughout the week. I am also available for housing on weekends and holidays. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, stress-free and safe. In my house in particular I have a doggy door that I can open and close to make potty breaks and play time outside easily accessible. In both my house and a client’s home, I make sure to keep the environment clean and secure for the animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions, and I provide updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Harold is such a sweet & kind soul - a great caregiver for our paraplegic pup, Zulu. Caring for a dog with special needs that go beyond the usual care required for abled dogs is never easy! There’s always a bit of a learning curve to manually expressing a bladder & utilizing mobility aids. But Harold took that challenge in stride for our Zulu & rocked a long-term house-sitting stay with her. We can back home for our trip to a tired but satisfied pup, who clearly had a good time with her new Rover bestie. Harold’s transparent communication throughout kept our minds at ease, and he was flexible & accommodating as well. Highly recommend!”
About: 🐾 Hey I’m Yasmin! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I believe in treating all animals with kindness and being gentle❤️ What sets me apart from others? Well, it’s not just a JOB to me. 🐾 I work from home and can drop in on your pets to check on them! You can book me for dog walking as well! 🐾 I can deal with needy/anxious dogs and cats. ❤️ I always send cute pictures/updates daily! As you can see, I LOVE making collage pics of your pets it’s so fun to keep as a memory 😊 ❤️🩹 I offer Constant Care (24/7 care) for dogs that can’t be left alone at all for any amount of time. This sets me apart from others because I can be much more personal with your pet, insuring they get exercise, and feel as normal as possible in a real home environment. I deal with anxious pets very well, and I enjoy doing this! I work part time during the week and I’m able to drop in depending on the times you request! Just reach out and let me know :) ❤️🐾I can drop in anytime you want and check on your pets, feed them, brush them, clean them, walk them, and give them attention while you’re gone.
“Kaja looked after our French bulldog in December 2022 while we were out of town. She stayed at our house. She was wonderful -very responsive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and managed our dog’s medications well. We also had to cut our trip short due to a personal issue and Kaja was flexible to a changing schedule. Our dog was in good spirits and our house was cleaner than we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kaja to look after Jake again!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats since birth and have spent my whole life building a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. Growing up, my family raised two litters of puppies, giving me hands-on experience with everything from newborn care to socialization and training throughout various life stages. I currently share my home with three dogs of my own and regularly care for friends' cats and dogs, both in my home and theirs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small lap dogs to large breeds, and know that each comes with its own personality, energy level, and needs. People tell me I'm not just a dog person but also someone dogs are drawn to. Cats have been a constant in my life just as long as dogs have. I know how to read their cues, respect their space, and earn their trust on their own terms. I genuinely love every stage of a pet's life and know how to meet each animal where they are, whether that's an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior. I’ve worked in human crisis intervention for over 6 years, which means I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly and clearly when something unexpected happens. That same steady, caring approach is what I bring to every pet I look after. I do Rover to supplement my nonprofit career, so when I take on your pet it's because I genuinely want to be here, not because I have to be. Your pet won't just be cared for, they'll feel right at home! I work from home on a flexible schedule that I set myself, which means I'm present with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. We have a fenced yard for outdoor time and can separate pets as needed, so your animal has a safe, comfortable space even with my own dogs in the home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every pet like they're my own. My home is pet-proofed with a fenced yard, and I can separate animals as needed so everyone has their own safe space alongside my own dogs. I always want to know your pet's routine, quirks, and preferences ahead of time so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them. With a lifetime of experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, I'm confident handling whatever comes up, and my crisis intervention background means I stay calm and act fast if an emergency arises.
About: Hi! I’m Yvonne, a lifelong animal lover with several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it's a quick potty walk or a longer adventure around the neighborhood, I love helping dogs stay happy, healthy, and active. For cats, I provide calm, respectful care – clean litter, fresh water, food, playtime, and plenty of gentle attention (when they want it!). I'm reliable, communicative, and experienced with all types of pet temperaments. Whether you're at work or away on a trip, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets with love and attention. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Whether it's a mid-morning walk or an early afternoon visit, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate recurring bookings and short-notice requests whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For dog walks, I always use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, and I avoid busy or unsafe areas. I never walk multiple dogs from different households at the same time, so your dog gets my full attention and care. For drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely — whether it's feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, or giving meds. I respect your home and your pet’s routine, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. You can count on me to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.
About: Your pet is in good hands. I'm an owner of a rambunctious two year old Bernedoodle named Sunny. I helped take care of my disabled neighbors dog for 2-3 years as a teen before before becoming a dog owner of my own. I can offer walks tailored to your dogs energy whether that be a brisk neighborhood stroll & playtime or a calm sniff & relaxed walk. I can help with training puppies and administer medication. You'll receive reliable, safe and fun care with regular photo updates! I'm available everyday 8 am to 10 pm. If I am doing overnight then I'm available for around the clock care. I'm flexible as I committing to animal care full time. I have a large backyard with grass that is fenced in. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood with not a lot of traffic. I have all the items your dogs needs (toys, a crate and even food if needed). Our dog Sunny is friendly and playful with other dogs.
“Sofia was a delight to work with! She took great care of our Oliver who is admittedly not always the quickest to warm up to people. Sofia provided great updates, and also took great care of our house. We would love to have her pet sit for Oliver again!”
“Liliana was great! The house was totally clean, Bear looked like he really enjoyed her company in the pictures she sent and she even took him to Thanksgiving. Very thoughtful and really good with communication.”
“Honey always loves when he gets Natasia as his sitter. She is a natural with larger dogs and Honey clearly feels at ease around her. It makes me feel so much better about leaving when I see how much he smiles when she greets him hello.”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”

2nd booking with Liliana and Gerardo, and they were wonderful. We received frequent updates and photos and our pets were comfortable and well cared for. Our house was spotless when we returned, cleaner than we had left it! Looking forward to working with them again.
Professional and kind from start to finish! Sofia took the time to meet Olive ahead of watching her and kept me updated with messages and pictures the day of. She left my apt exactly how I left it and I could tell Olive had a great time. Would definitely book her again!
Tania has been our primary pet sitter for the past two years and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with her! She is amazingly warm, kind, thoughtful, and above all professional! She genuinely cares about our dog, Ernie and takes exceptional care of him. He is a senior dog and is both blind and mostly deaf, but Tania is always thinking of ways to engage and stimulate him - to make sure he has the most positive experience possible. Tania has watched him at our home multiple times, including most recently when we took a 20-day trip to Ireland. We were able to leave our precious fur-kid in Tania’s care with absolutely zero concerns. Not only does Tania take outstanding care of our dog, but she also takes meticulous care of our home. She waters our plants as needed, feeds our backyard squirrels and birds, and ensures that everything is even cleaner and better than we left it. We are so grateful to have found Tania and absolutely love having her care for our dog, Ernie. Tania is simply the best!
So glad to have found Rachel! You can tell she has great animal energy and connected well with my two dogs, both of which have their own quirks. She’s was very communicative, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my pets are cared for as if they’re her own!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lexx! She stayed in our home for a full week and took amazing care of our three dogs, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the start, she was communicative, professional, and clearly loves animals. While we were away, she sent regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us fully enjoy our trip knowing our pups were happy and safe. When we returned home, the house was spotless and the dogs were relaxed and clearly very loved. It was obvious they were comfortable with her and had kept their normal routines, which means everything to us as pet parents. We are incredibly grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring to watch your pets, we highly recommend her!
Signe was an excellent sitter for Aki. She kindly visited in advance so I could make sure they were a good match, and Aki was comfortable with her right away. On the day of our trip, she arrived early to match our departure time, which was very helpful. During our trip, she sent us photos of Aki, so we could relax and enjoy our travels without worry. She carefully followed all of my detailed instructions, including weight management, nighttime tooth brushing, body wiping, and eye drops. She also took Aki on outings to places like the nearby beach and mountains using her own car, which I really appreciated. Most of all, I was grateful for her flexibility with the schedule so Aki would not have to stay alone for too long before we returned home. Signe was reliable, thoughtful, and truly caring. I would be very happy to book with her again.
Angelina was absolutely wonderful. She is friendly, responsible, caring, and very professional. I came home to a house that was actually cleaner than when I left, which was such a nice surprise. Most importantly, my dog was happy, safe, and clearly well cared for. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks, stayed on the feeding schedule exactly as instructed, and felt comfortable the entire time. It meant a lot knowing my dog was not only looked after, but genuinely cared for and comforted. Angelina also sent multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.
Mason and Alex were super flexible and helped us on a last minute sitting request. They were very friendly and supportive with our senior dog care plan. We came home to happy dogs and kitty as well as a clean home. They also kept us updated with daily check ins and photos. We recommend them for future house sitting requests.
