“10000% would book again. Emilie was able to drop in on our pups last minute after our previous person cancelled literally an hour before. She sent the most adorable pictures and made me feel better that they were given love and care 💜”

“We really loved have Sophia care for our dogs! She was willing to help us out on short notice and was very communicative. We received lots of pictures and updates! Our pups had a great time 🤗”

About: Ever since I was little I have been able to connect to animals in a certain way and understand them. The strays and the neighborhood dogs and cats always seemed to love me and I bet you will too! I will definitely leave a mark on both you and your pet. I have most days and nights to be with your furry friend. Just ask away and we can set something up for what works best for you! I am strictly based on what your pet desires to do. No matter they want to play, go for a walk, or even nap. I won't be harsh and I will never make them do what they don't want to.
“She provided great feedback, I booked her for my dog and had a kitty too and she even helped out with the kitty. Took my dog on great walks and ensured she was well cared for! Will definitely book again with Rebecca.”

“Allison did several drop-in visits for me and took such good care of my boy, Bo. He has severe anxiety, so I am very particular about who I choose to watch him. Not only does Allison have a lot of experience working with animals, but she has also dedicated time to taking additional trainings to prepare her even more, including training about helping dogs with anxiety. I appreciate that so much. Bo was comfortable around her right away. She is calm and patient and caring. She always communicated promptly and sent photos of her visits. Even though I can get stressed knowing he is anxious, I trust Allison and was glad to have her with him. I hope to have the chance for her and Bo to spend more time together!”

“Devyn was very communicative and patient with our nervous pup. We really appreciated her understanding and how she adapted to make sure our girl was comfortable. Would recommend and use again!”

About: I treat every pet like an individual, not just another booking. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and comfort level so they feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m patient with nervous pets, playful with energetic ones, and gentle with seniors who need a little extra attention. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I have plenty of time to give pets attention, exercise, playtime, and care. I care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they already feel safe and familiar. During drop-ins and walks, I follow their normal routines, provide plenty of attention and supervision, and treat every home with respect. I’ll make sure pets have what they need while keeping owners updated, with photos, so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
About: Hello! I’ve been dogsitting/housesitting for at least 3 years now if not more. I adore meeting new doggos and learning about all of their little quirks. I am very committed to making sure I stick to the rules you have and I find communication very valuable. Of course, above all else I love having a connection with your fur baby and being able to be there for them whenever you need. For the next month or two I’ll likely be available most of the day every day. Currently unemployed but looking into other jobs and I start my last year of school in August. Again I’m more than happy to meet with you and discuss schedule if you’re interested! In the couple times I have taken care of other’s pets I always make sure they’re safe. Whatever the pet parent’s standard is, I follow. It’s important to keep a pattern with our pets so they don’t feel too uncomfortable with their owner being gone. I also provide frequent updates if the pet parent prefers.

About: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic young animals to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following structured feeding routines, administering medications, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can care for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, and beyond. I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress free by caring for them in their own home and maintaining the routines they’re used to. Reliability, cleanliness, and clear communication are priorities for me, and I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I attend school and run my main business primarily remotely, which gives me flexibility to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, medication needs, and overnight stays. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be present, punctual, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets experience minimal disruption while their owners are away, and I’m comfortable adjusting my availability to meet each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or habitats, administer medications if needed, and give pets the appropriate level of attention and companionship based on their personality. I’m respectful of each home and keep the space clean and secure while I’m there. For overnight stays, I make sure pets feel safe and settled, especially in the evenings and mornings when routines matter most. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Clara choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
