About: Since I was 12 years old, I have been actively caring for dogs. My first dog lived to 19 years old, thanks to the loving care from me and my family. Over the years, many friends have trusted me to look after their pets during vacations, showing confidence in my responsible and caring approach. I’ve helped train puppies by teaching basic commands and good behavior, building strong bonds with them. I regularly take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization to keep them healthy and happy. I also handle grooming tasks like bathing to keep them clean and comfortable. This hands-on experience has made me confident and compassionate in providing well-rounded care for dogs of all ages. I’m currently freelancing, so I have plenty of time to play, care for, and give your pups lots of attention! I’m also available for boarding. I don’t have pets at my place right now, but I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with regular meals, fresh water, playtime, and exercise. I treat every pet like family and respect their unique needs.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I booked with Baining! She checked in with me every day and reassured me that my dog was well taken care of. The updates and photos really gave me peace of mind. I could tell my pup was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I’d absolutely book with her again!”


About: Hi, I’m the proud owner of a 5-year-old female black Lab named Harley. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and my home, and I would be truly honored to care for your dog. I’m an active person—I’m usually up around 5 a.m. and take Harley on walks 3 to 4 times a day. She’s incredibly sweet and gets along well with other dogs, children, and just about everyone she meets. Rover gives me the chance to not only be a more engaged pet owner, but also to share my love and care with others when you need a break or time away. I believe freedom and flexibility are important, but what matters most is trust—and knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own—with love, respect, and plenty of tail wags. I’m a responsible, active, and experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals. I work an early shift from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., which gives me plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pup. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’m available and ready to help. My own dog, Harley, is a well-socialized, gentle black Lab who loves making new friends. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet, and I’m committed to treating every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. With a consistent schedule, a calm home environment, and a deep respect for animals, I’d be honored to be your go-to sitter or walker. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like family from the moment they arrive. I live in a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel safe. My dog Harley is calm, friendly, and well-socialized, so she helps new dogs feel at ease. I follow your pup’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and any special care instructions—to keep them comfortable and happy. I provide multiple walks a day (typically 3–4), plus playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of affection. Safety is a top priority, and I always supervise introductions and playtime to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

“Lisa is an incredible dog sitter whose nothing short of amazing. From the moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease-like you're leaving your dog in the best possible hands. Every detail, from the cozy play areas to the thoughtfully designed sleeping spaces, shows how much love and care she puts into her work. It's not just a place to leave your dog; it's an experience that feels exciting and even emotional, knowing your pet is genuinely happy, safe, and cared for. Lisa goes above and beyond, and it shows in every wagging tail and happy bark.”


“We’re very happy to have found Victoria to watch our puppy! We were a little worried about having Maverick stay at someone else’s home while we were gone, but Victoria made him very comfortable during his stay and took great care of him. He looked very happy and was having a great time in all of the updates she sent us!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care [Pet Sitter’s Rommuel provided for my dog, Halo. From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. Halo was well fed and walked a few times daily. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. Rommuel went above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs my whole life. I’ve looked after friend’s dogs while they’re away on vacation. I’ve also looked after my sick mother my whole life and I know what it takes to provide the best care. I’m only at work for 4 hours but my brother is home all day to look after your fur baby! Your pet would be looked after and cared for 24/7! My complex has a little dog park and I go on long walks daily. I am a big dog person and would take care of your pet like it was my own to ensure the best care!!

“Couldn’t be happier with the service Monica provided. She looked after my pup like he was her own and even helped with a bit of his training! She sent updates daily and sometimes multiple times per day with photos and videos. 100% would recommend Monica as your dog watcher”


“This was the first time leaving our fairly newly adopted dog with a sitter. Ines was wonderful with our temperamental Evie. She found unique, non-threatening ways of picking her up and Evie ended up being just fine with her. Ines was also diligent about sending regular updates and pictures every day to us. Would definitely recommend Ines!”


“Jazmin took excellent care of Sammy. Before the stay, she took the time to learn all about Sammy and his personality, and she made sure he felt safe and happy while we were traveling. I can’t think of a better pet sitter than Jazmin, I will definitely use her again and recommend her without hesitation.”


“We got really jammed up when the person we were expecting to watch our little pom, Bailey, over TG had a medical emergency. A friend told us about Rover. We signed up and found Liv who saved us. Liv was fast to respond, professional, caring and amazing. She took great care of our little Bailey. Which isn't easy. Bailey is a bit high strung. We could tell Bailey was well cared for. Thanks to Liv and Rover we got to see our family in San Jose. We would work with Liv again. Thanks Liv for helping us out.”


“She did a wonderful job taking care of our fur family! We received updates on our dogs throughout the day, communication was great even unprompted. Looking forward for our pups next stay!”

William L.
“I cannot recommend Will enough to watch/walk my dog, Penny, a mini labradoodle! He not only is so caring and loving with her, but also has trained her throughout the years even when I'm away. I know he has experience training at least 3 (if not more) dogs now of all different breeds (a poodle, a black lab, a golden retriever) and is very reliable and timely. He personally makes my Penny feel comfortable and secure, as was prevalent in our first meeting. She took to him right away. In addition, he kept me informed and updated with sweet photos and messages, and I could tell my pup was happy and well cared for. I was never concerned or felt the need to check in often, as he handled that all on his own. Every time I pick her up after seeing him or staying with him when I'm away, Penny is always relaxed, content, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to know I’ve found someone I can completely trust. Will treats my dog like family, and I will continue booking with him again!”
