“Wow! Sofiya was such a wonderful caretaker for our 6 month old pup. My pup, Milo, had the best time, I got pictures every day. He got to play with her lovely dog and cat. Her little girl is absolutely adorable. Sofiya even taught Milo some tricks! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their pup to be taken care of. I will only be coming to her from now on.”
“Joyce made our dog feel at home. She sent many photos and videos showing the many “pets” he was receiving from her and showing him happy on her bed or walking with his tail up. Joyce is a very good communicator, mature and a kind person. We felt very comfortable leaving Bingo in her care. We are happy we found such a good pet sitter and will use her again!”
“Kara is amazing and took such good care of my two pups and truly provided them with their own vacation while I took mine. Kara is a dog lover and will take very good care of your animals and give them a truly unique experience of enjoying a pack and having an adventure. She sent pictures and videos every day enjoying adventures in Boulder Creek with other dogs. They got to go on hikes and swim and she took time to work with my littlest one teaching him how to be braver as he is a bit shy. I will definitely be taking my pups to her again in the future. Thank you Kara!”
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”
“Evegeniia is a great dog sitter! She came to our meet and greet with plenty of questions and was genuinely interested in Willow’s needs and how to care for her. We got plenty of videos, photos and text updates and it was clear that Willow was thriving while we were away. I definitely recommend Evegeniia to take care of your dog.”
“Lovely home and family for my 2 pups; I highly recommend Michael & family. One of my pups in 9 and is moving slower than before and she loves to cuddle. My younger dog can get agitated and loves to be active/fetch. Michael was able to meet both of their unique needs. We will certainly book with them again. Also note I received frequent photos and videos. Communication was fantastic.”
“Li-Ting was such an amazing sitter for our dogs. She not only makes sure to send frequent updates and pictures, but also will spoil your dogs in the best way! Our boys got to try so many different toys and treats and a hike on the weekend to boot! I would absolutely leave our dogs in Li-Ting's care again and I'm sure they can't wait to go back!”
“We had a sitter for our pup for 3 yrs and had to find him a new sitter since we moved. After looking at several sitter we ate really happy and blessed to find Christy and her family. They are very loving and caring and took a very good care of our pup. They also shared an update with a picture which gave us a peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of. Thank you Christy and family!”
“Everything went so well starting from our meet and greet, to communication before the sitting, and pickup. Theo looked happy and did his trusting belly side up sleeping in pics she sent. So I felt very relieved knowing he was happy and trusting. Theo lines to sleep in a bed and I was so happy that they let him sleep with whoever he wanted. That is love!”
“Diane was wonderful! She communicated clearly, responded to our messages very quickly, and sent us photos of Mikah every day, which gave us great peace of mind. When I picked Mikah up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. In fact, he seemed to want to stay a little longer, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with Diane. Thank you, Diane, for taking such great care of Mikah!”
“Carole and Terry did a phenomenal job watching Baylee. They made sure to accommodate their schedules around her desires and comfort, as well as sending frequent updates so I would know Baylee is comfortable and happy! They took her for many walks, followed her feeding instructions well, and provided a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for her to both play and relax!”
“Nadia was super sweet and loving with my fur baby. I was relieved because it was my first time leaving my dog with a Rover sitter. Nadia sent me multiple photos of my dog on a daily basis.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Yunxi is great and took great care of my dog. Her house is in a very safe neighborhood with a park to walk my dog everyday. She ensured she took my dog out multiple times a day for walking and potty, and made sure he was well fed!”

“Aiyana did a wonderful job cat/house sitting over the Mother's Day weekend, so I could visit my mom. She was prompt, did all the things that I asked her to do and was very professional. She left the house exactly as she found it, and my cat was well cared for. Honest, trustworthy and set my mind at ease during my trip. Thanks Aiyana!!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. Lara was referred to me by someone on Nextdoor. I dont know the neighbor who referred Lara. And I met Lara once in-person to introduce her to my cats. I was a little nervous about having a stranger in my house. But, I’m so glad I went with trust instead of fear. Lara is very communicative. She sent regular updates and photos of my girls, and left the house spotless. She asked questions when she had them. And, best of all, I had no worries while I was away. The last time I was a way for a few days, one of my cats was a little cranky with me. Not this time. All three acted like I never left. 😐 I highly recommend Lara. Just don’t book her when I need her, please. 😀”
“Heather was amazing. She was able to care for our difficult older cat like a pro. Our cat required two medications twice a day, including an injection, and our cat doesn't do well with stranger but she did great with Heather. Heather let us know everytime when she completed the shot which really put our minds at ease. We ended up book her again for two more trips these coming months.”
“David was a pet rockstar! He went above and begins my requests, and provided companion, exercise and extra toys and treats for my dog! I could not recommend this gentleman any higher. Will absolutely be booking him for any future trips and needs. Thanks David (and Huck his dog)!”
“Sara was amazing with our three cats when we went out of town. She spent time playing with all of them even our grumpy hard to find kitty. She kept us updated on the weather so we could make sure they kept cool during a surprise heatwave and made sure we knew all the changes in the house while we were gone. I highly recommend her to care for your pets, she truly treats them as her own.”
“Caring and conscientious pet/house sitter. Emily cared for my cat and home, including feeding my fish, while I was away. She was easy to talk with, understood how I wanted things done and kept everything (everyone) safe and happy while I was away.”
“Carmen is kind, courteous, and respectful and she communicates very well; best of all she works well with our two spoiled cats. She Spoils them! We hope to use her again soon. thanks!”
About: I’ve cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from affectionate lap cats to independent, low-interaction types. I pay close attention to routines and body language so they feel safe and undisturbed in their own space. Your cat will get: - Fresh food, water, and a clean litter box - Play and interaction on their terms (or space, if they prefer) - A calm, low-stress environment for shy or sensitive cats - Medication or supplements as directed You’ll receive daily photo updates and messages for peace of mind. I adjust to each cat’s personality so they feel relaxed, happy, and at ease while you’re away.
About: I raised by dog from one month old and trained him his whole life! I grew up around dogs my whole life and love them. Animals mean so much to me and I love caring for them. I work two days a week on Wednesday 12-4 and Thursday 2-4:30. I also have school five days a week. Monday 8-2, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8-12 and Thursday 8-12. I care for pets in making sure they have space for themselves but are also reaching the love and attention they need to be happy and healthy. I will watch pets in your home!
About: Being around animals is something that brings me joy. I have been around pets my whole life, so I have a lot of experience with many different species of dogs and cats. I currently own one dog and he is just full of personality. I would love to meet your pets and care for them while also being able to see their character. My schedule is pretty open and flexible other than when I am taking care of my own pets, working my part time job, or dealing with college assignments. I would care for pets in clients home by entertaining the pet with toys or treats approved by the owner, I would take the pet out for its routine outside times and overall just have a fun time with the pet
“Christa takes good care of my kitties. I can relax knowing she is hanging out with them. The pictures show me how comfortable they are with her. They are less anxious when she cares for them.”
“We couldn't be happier with the amazing job that Luna did! Luna checked in with us daily, and helped keep our cats calm. When we arrived home the litter boxes were clean and the cats were happy. Luna was very thorough and reliable. It was nice to feel at ease while we were away knowing that our fur babies were being well cared for. We will certainly be hiring Luna again.”
“Ulysses took care of my kitties for several days. When I got home they were calm and fed. I could tell that they had been well cared for. Everything looked great and he even took out the trash for pickup. I will use his services again.”
About: I have had cats in my life since I was in my 30's up to when I moved to the West Coast, 15 years ago. I had one cat who needed a Diabetic shot twice a day for many years. At several points in my life I have had 2 cats. All my cats were indoor and well taken care of.
“Amelia was great! She was so sweet with our two cats and kept us updated the whole time, including photos. She took their complicated meal schedules in stride and kept them safe, happy, and fed during her 3 night stay. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for our future cat sitting needs!”

About: Hi! I’m Angelika, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. I’ve loved animals my whole life. Growing up, our family home was full of pets, from rodents like mice, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters, to rabbits, cats, turtles, parrots, and a dog I adored who passed away three years ago. I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats since childhood, including helping my grandmother and neighbors with their pets, walking them and spending time with them whenever needed. Right now I don’t have a pet of my own because I’m traveling, but I’d love to help care for other people’s furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and I love spending time with animals. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them lots of love while you’re away! I am currently staying at my relatives’ house looking for a job and have plenty of free time, so I’m available to take care of your pets anytime! 😊 I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions, give plenty of attention, play, and walks, and keep everything clean and secure.
“Kara was available on late notice and was fantastic! She provided frequent updates and pictures, and our Clea had a great time hanging out and making friends with her and her pup.”
“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”
“If your pup loves other dogs and a romp in the redwoods, this is the place to be. On our second visit, Abby recognized Ulysses' house as we came up the road and couldn't wait to go inside to play. It's a relief to know my pup is safe and happy !”

“Even after more than a year apart, he remembered her and was comfortable with her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She is the best pet sitter and the best pet photographer! Thank you so much for taking care of him!”
“So delighted to find Madhumita. Her quiet affectionate calm and patience letting my dog, who has a trauma history, come our of his shell was just what he needed to feel comfortable. Her elderly lab is also a friendly, calm, and reassuring presence. So happy to see my pup relax and make himself at home-- in her home!”

I needed a sitter very last minute and I'm so grateful she was available and responded quickly and was flexible when I needed to change the time as well.

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and currently have a little Shichon named Ruby. We have a smoke free home with a fenced yard and doggie door. We take our pup out for daily walks. I'm home full time unless I'm working in Canada in the healthcare field and so would need to work around that. I usually work 2-3 weeks every 2 months. We have a fenced yard and lots of trails around for nice long walks. We also go to the beach at least twice a week.

“Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with! I needed last-minute care for my dog, so I reached out to her around 10pm the night before. I was very grateful for her quick reply at that hour. She happened to be available the next day, which was such a lifesaver. We did a meet & greet around 10am, and later that afternoon she came by to give my dog a short walk/potty break. She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated with detailed messages, which gave me confidence that she understood what was needed. She also sent several videos during the walk which gave me peace of mind. My dog is currently recovering from an injury, so it was especially important to find someone who would be patient, attentive, and responsible. Ashley was exactly that, and I felt relieved knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Ashley is kind, reliable, communicative, and seemed to genuinely enjoy connecting with my pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy petsitter. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood.

Thank you Kara!”

About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Our pup jeeva had a wonderful time. He spent 4 days with Juliana and she sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. He got lot of walks and plays. He enjoyed his stay. Thank you Juliana”
About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to a friendly, well-socialized 2-year-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends.

I also provide regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and treated like family throughout their stay every day.

“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the family, so caring for them is second nature. Now I have young, responsible daughters who share that love — our whole family lights up around dogs. We travel too often to own one ourselves, so instead we're hoping to build lasting relationships with a few special dogs whose families need occasional help. We're not doing this for the money; we simply love dogs and want more of them in our lives. What sets me apart beyond that: I'm active and love taking dogs on hikes — and trail runs, if they're up for it — so high-energy pups will come home tired and happy. Your dog gets a whole family's attention — a workout buddy, playmates, and steady, caring company. I'm semi-retired and work from home on a completely flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my whole day — not just the edges of it. Your dog won't be waiting hours for attention: mornings can start with a long walk/hike or run and midday means play and company rather than an empty house. Safety comes first, whether your dog is with us or in their own home. We live on a large lot in Los Altos with fully fenced front and back yards, so there's plenty of secure space to play and explore. We're minutes from the foothills, with easy access to great hiking trails, and I have the proper equipment to transport your pup safely. In our home, your dog is treated as part of the family: supervised play, a consistent routine for meals, walks, and rest, and someone home all day, so dogs are never alone. On outings, dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise, and I match the pace and distance to your dog's fitness and the weather, while ensuring your dog is hydrated. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, house rules, etc. Either way, you'll get regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
