“Alexus was phenomenal, 13/10 rating! Her notes are thorough with a dash of humor spread in. She gave our babies so much love and we can’t thank her enough!”
“Brigit was awesome and lovely! Very communicative and always answered questions! Made our trip so much less stressful! Will definitely ask her to watch our babies again!”
“Adrienne was an excellent sitter/walker for my hyperactive Brittany. He needs his walks in foothills daily and Adrienne was prompt with her arrivals and always provided a cute photo of my pup enjoying his walk. This really put me at ease for my first trip away from my dog. I would highly recommend Adrienne for your sitter/walker needs!”
“There’s no better compliment than a repeat customer. Josephine is phenomenal! She’s the most thorough, compassionate, and loving sitter my cats have ever had. When she walks through my door my cats run right up to her. It provides me a lot of comfort when I’m away knowing that Josephine is caring for my fur babies. I will absolutely be using her services in the future when she’s available.”
“Hos was wonderful to meet, and my timid kitties liked her right away. She has kept me updated with pictures. I felt so much better traveling knowing she would be checking on my cats.”

“Katie was very responsive to my initial request booking drop in visits with my cat and had great communication with me throughout the time she was conducting visits. She sent pictures and updates during her visits which made me feel reassured my cat was getting excellent care while I was away. Highly recommend and will be requesting her again when I leave town!”
“Alexis is so wonderful- she takes the time to play with my cats every time she comes over and she does such a good job keeping the kitty corner cleaned up while I’m away. She’s very sweet and makes me feel much more comfortable leaving home because I know my cats are in excellent hands.”
“I recommend Brook for drop in visits. She took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a week. My dogs were excited for her visits and I found them to be in great shape when we returned.”
“One of my cats has asthma and requires a daily medication, so leaving him can give me a ton of anxiety. Knowing Cristina has experience taking care of cats put my mind at ease!”
“Marilee is a wonderful Rover sitter! She is trustworthy, dependable, and kind! She took care of my birdie friends just as I do. She was communicative and proactive when I reached out to book. She was also flexible when I asked if we could shift our dates (last minute thinking on my part). Thank you Marilee for allowing me total piece of mind, so I could enjoy my trip😊🙏🏽💚🌿!”
About: I started volunteering at vet clinics in 2006. I've been caring for other people's pets since 2012, including dogs, cats, exotic birds, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I am experienced with special needs animals, elderlies, and those recovering from surgery. I've completed over 100 volunteer hours walking rescue dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico (AHNM). I am comfortable working with some behavioral challenges. Completed training: 2026 Fear Free Shelters program “Play Groups, Meet-and-Greets, and Dog Fight Response Training.” AHNM 2025 “Advanced Dog Walker Training" AHNM “Calming Canines Training" AHNM 2024 “Safe Dog Walker Training" AHNM I've also been volunteering at spay/neuter events since 2016. Some of my photos are from those. Please note that I am not representing any organization. I work from home and I make my own schedule. I wake up before 6 am so I am available early. Helping out with pets is my favorite thing to do! Outside the home or your fenced yard, dogs will be on-leash and distanced from other animals and people. I do not mix animals from different homes.
“Angela is a great cat sitter! Our cat Pounce was well cared for and we appreciated the photo updates. Thank you Angela for making our first time using Rover a smooth experience!”

South Los Altos pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cristina was amazing at taking care of my void! She made sure to visit everyday as requested and was very communicative with me regarding my cat. My little scaredy-cat even felt comfortable with her from what I can tell in her pictures, still hiding but eating near her. My cat was also his normal self when I got home, a good sign that she treated him well! When I cam home I was also pleasantly surprised that the cat bowls she used were hand washed and left to dry, and that my trash was taken out, leaving less things for me to worry about when I cam home from my trip.
Anika was absolutely wonderful watching my pets while I was away. She took such great care of my two older cats, Khaleesi and Dwight, and also kept up with my younger, very active dog Milo — which is no small task! She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about each of their individual personalities and needs. My older cats were comfortable and relaxed when I returned, and Milo was happy, exercised, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Anika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Alexis is so wonderful- she takes the time to play with my cats every time she comes over and she does such a good job keeping the kitty corner cleaned up while I’m away. She’s very sweet and makes me feel much more comfortable leaving home because I know my cats are in excellent hands.
Stacy was communicative and caring for my new puppy who’s too young to go to daycare right now. I felt so relieved each time she stopped by multiple times in one day for drop in visits with the little one. Will definitely be asking for her help in the future!
Excellent pet sitter. Took great care of my 2 cats over Christmas holiday. Sent me pictures everyday during play and treats. My cats are usually scared of people they don’t know but they came out quickly and were happy to see her. Will definitely be booking again with her for my next vacation.
Leo is an excellent pet sitter. We asked him to watch our two kitties (and some backyard strays) over a holiday while we were out of town. It was a last-minute request, and we are so thankful that Leo was available! Leo was very responsive throughout the whole booking process. When he came over for a meet-and-greet, he was attentive, perceptive, and inquisitive. It was clear that he really loves animals. While we were gone, Leo stopped by every day to tend to our girls' needs, and he made sure to spend time playing with both of them. He even got our shy girl, Cashew, to come out and play every day, which is very special. Leo kept us up to date while we were gone and sent us several pictures and videos to let us know the girls were doing well. We highly recommend Leo for your pet-sitting needs, and we will be calling on him in the future!
