House Sitting in Santa Teresa, San Jose

“Krystle was so great with our pets! She took the time to understand our dog's quirks and our pets seemed sad to see her go! I'd love to have Krystle watch our pets again”

“Ryan is a very responsible caretaker for my dog! I appreciate the fact that he is always available for me last minute when I need him. He is also very easy to get along with and always follows the instructions I provide. You will not be disappointed!”

“It is such a pleasure to know our babies are safe and cared for. Patricia is our go-to when we have to be away. She’s responsive and attentive to detail.”

“Rachel is amazing! Our dogs love her and so do we! She can be counted on to be there when she says she will and to spend quality time with our babies ?”

“Rachelle was Amazing ! We left Max with her and we could feel anymore comfortable knowing he was in great hands. We got updates, pictures and videos. I highly recommend Rachelle. Thank you once again Rachelle :)”

“My sister set her out-of-state wedding date eight weeks out, and we needed an overnight house/dog sitter for that weekend. Family wasn’t an option so we turned to Rover having had a previous good experience a few years ago with a boarding sitter. As soon as we met Courtney, we were put at ease. She listened to our questions and asked many of her own to make the time away seem less for our pups. She seemed comfortable and confident, and that’s the reassurance we needed to move forward with the booking. The photo updates were appreciated. She gave our chihuahua space to warm up as he can be more scared with strangers and by the second set of pictures she sent us, he was happily going for a walk with her. Both of our dogs were well taken care of, content when we got home, indoor and outdoor plants still thriving, and the house left clean. We look forward to booking Courtney again!!”

“Great petsitter! Very thoughtful and very communicative. Our pup had to go to the vet unexpectedly due to a hot spot and Marie did a fabulous job managing this!”

“Hiring Cristal as a pet caregiver for my three dogs was an absolute joy. She was so gentle and caring with them, and they all loved her. Cristal was always reliable and went above and beyond her normal duties. For example, she would sometimes bring them special treats and would do fun activities with them. Cristal was also great at communicating any issues or emotions that seemed out of the ordinary for my pets which made it very helpful in determining if they were having any medical issues. She was truly a blessing to my dogs and anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.”

“As always it was a joy to have Korinne stay at my house and take care of my fur babies. She is professional, responsible, and does an exceptional job. She is my “go to” for both drop-in visits and overnights!”

“Sonny loves animals in general especially dogs. I've witnessed how well behaved all his dogs were over the past 20yrs. that I've known him. It's amazing to see him tell his dog to "go home" and it goes back into the dog house. He leaves food or snacks in front of the dogs and they stare at it until he gives them the command to eat then they eat. He even trained his american bulldog, great dane, mini schnauzer, pitbull and chihuahua non verbal commands. He snaps his fingers and points and they sit, jump, lay down, back up, roll over and go back to the cage. I'm truly impress with how obedient his dogs were and the affection he gave them. Your dogs will be in good hands with this man.”

“Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.”

“Michael took excellent care of my dog and my home while I was away for 5 days and 4 nights. My dog took very little time to warm up to him, and they quickly became pals. My home was in excellent condition when I returned from my trip, with mail collected and with garbage containers emptied then returned to their spot after trash collection day. Michael provided daily updates with photos, which allowed for a completely worry free trip. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs! ”

“Danielle did a great job with Cody and Phoebe. They are 16 years old, and have a lot of issues. Deafness and blindness. She needed to give them a lot of eye drops and many trips outside. We will use her again, if she is agreeable to it.”

“Brenda has watched and walked my dog for me for serveral years. She is attentive and cares deeply for my dog. I never have to worry about anything when she is here. As a pet owner (mom to a fur baby) it is so nice to know that your dog is being loved and taken care of the same way as you do.”

“Melanie is so good with my cats! They love when she is able to visit. She is caring and attentive to their needs. I never worry about my pets' well-being when Melanie is watching them. Melanie has a fantastic attention to detail and is great with specific or specialized pet needs. She is also great with dogs, and is happy to take them on longer walks if needed! Melanie genuinely loves animals and is one of those people who loves to be helpful. She is a clear communicator and a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Melanie!”

“We took a week long vacation out of the country and Kathy stayed at our home with our 2 dogs. We knew they were in great hands! She sent is pictures every day and took great care of our babies!”

“Lindsey C. has been an absolute godsend for our furry family members! Her care and attention to detail on Rover.com have made us feel at ease whenever we're away. Thank you, Lindsey, for your responsible and loving pet care! 😍”

About: I adopted a chihuahua a few years ago, so I'm aware of how difficult and time consuming it can be to own a dog. Even though my pet is just a small chihuahua, I maintain a high level of care for him, which I think many other dog owners aren't able to do. I feed my dog homemade dog food and even brush his teeth and tuck him into bed every night. I am very careful to see how hot the ground might be outside because I don't want my chihuahua to be walking on scorching concrete that will burn his paws. I try not to leave him at home by himself for long periods of time since chihuahuas do need a lot of attention. Fortunately though, I have my family at home most of the time that can take of him, which is why I am able to provide pet sitting services for other pet owners. I should be available all week long, including holidays. Am more of an introvert than an extrovert, therefore a majority of the time I'm not doing any activities. I do have classes this Fall quarter at De Anza College in the morning, but the rest of my classes are online with one Zoom seesion only once every two weeks on either a Tuesday afternoon or a Thursday evening. First of all, I will definitiely closely follow any house rules and rules for the pets that my client has for me. Next, I will always keep on eye on what the dogs or cats are doing, making sure they aren't doing anything they aren't supposed to be doing. Of course, any potty breaks, feeding, walking, etc that needs to be done will be taken care of. And last, but not least, the pets will recieve lots of attention and, most importantly, love for being amazing animals!

About: I have taken care of family pets, and neighbors! I have owned and lived with 3 dogs, 2 German shepherds, and one Belgian shepherd. I take care of cats and dogs! I am a full-time college student and I work 2 jobs with very flexible hours, so I do have time to walk and play with your dog/cat I am able to crate your dog at your request. I will not hesitate to ask follow-up questions to the instructions left behind. I love detailed lists on how to care for your fury friend because you know them best!

“Sandra was really wonderful with my puppy. She was very engaged with Sushi and during the short amount of time, Sushi was able to get two walks and 1:1 while I was away at work. I also appreciate that Sandra sends pictures and live updates on my puppy. Would definitely rebook her again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter at home. 😄🙌🏼”
