“We are so grateful for Yajaira's care of our little dog. Our dog is shy with new people but within just an hour or two Yajaira had already won her over, taken her for a walk and sent photos of our little dog relaxing in the house. We loved getting the cute photos and updates while we were away. Yajaira has excellent communication and it's no wonder why she has many 5-star reviews from pet parents. We'll gladly book with her again when we need a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Yajaira!”
“Nancy and her husband welcomed our dog with open arms. She responded very quickly to our request and we were able to set up a meet and greet that same night. She took very good care of our fur baby Chloe. We got pictures and updates every day. She was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times, which is a ++. We will definitely use her service again. She is highly recommended.”
About: Growing up lifelong surrounded by dogs of all ages, I learned to listen to animals and understand their needs as well as ensuring they listen to me and have a happy, healthy time in care. I'm working part time and moving into my apartment, so I'll have lots of time to spend meeting dogs' needs and taking them on walks along the natural routes near my place. I live in a pretty calm conflict-free setting with no children or other dogs to cause stress on anxious pups. I spend a lot of time walking around and I love having a furry friend to join me!
“We arrived for a trip to Santa Cruz and found out our Roz was not allowed at the hotel due to her size. We started searching local pet hospitals, dog walkers, boarding facilities and the only place that could take her was all the way back in Santa Clara. As a last resort we checked Rover and Meghan came through for us. In the end Roz probably had as much fun as we did with her new friends during our weekend in Santa Cruz. Thanks Meghan!”
“Kathleen and her family are an absolute dream! Our puppy was so well cared for, getting lots of love and exercise. Kathleen sent pictures and updates often. I could immediately tell our dog had a great time with Kathleen. I would recommend Kathleen over and over, and we can’t wait to continue having Kathleen in our lives.”
“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“Robin is experienced taking care of animals and she took great care of Felix, hey home and family provided a warm environment where our dog thrived. I wholeheartedly reccomend Robin as your pet sitter!”
“Leo was so good with my Ice Bear. I was updated with her daily activities and received pictures as well. I felt reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would love to have Ice Bear stay with Leo again. Thank you.”
“Cynthia was a wonderful sitter for my Esta girl. We had a meet & greet before hand. She was friendly & lovely. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She communicated & sent pictures during our trip. We will definitely rebook soon!”
“My dog loved her stay with Shannon! Shannon was very communicative, providing updates and pictures throughout the stay. We’re looking forward to boarding our pup with her again soon.”
“Bianca was super flexible and patience with my dogs. We had two dogs that don’t get along well with one another and she graciously was willing to host both dogs. The dogs came back happy and slept as soon as they came home! My dogs have never been officially dog sat before so she made us feel comfortable and at ease while she was dog sitting. Highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have dog walked, house sat for dogs, and helped trained my sister’s puppy. I share a special bond with dogs! I currently am only working part-time, so I will be able to be very attentive with the dog. I can take for multiple walks a day, be active, and even help train more. I live in a condo at the moment with no yard, so I will mostly be taking them for walks or find ways to be active outside of the home. I can crate them in your home if needed, and won’t let them in furniture or beds.
“Marta took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of the country for one week. He experienced a health issue when we were away, and Marta handled it with careful attention. She worked hard to make sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She administered medication with confidence and communicated clearly with us as to how he was doing each day. I am thankful that we found Marta and recommend her to anyone looking for a capable, kind, dog-loving caretaker.”
“Susie was very informative, responsive and kind. She sent lots of pictures and updates which helped feeling comfortable with a new sitter for my grandpup. Milo was very well taken care of and we already have her booked for upcoming dates. I strongly recommend her to sit, walk or care for your pet.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“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!”
“Elizabeth is great! Always responsive and keeps me up to date how my doggie is doing. She was able to help me out of a jam where an incident caused me to run over my time to pick up. She worked with me and made sure everything was okay. I’ll be using her again. Recommended 10/10”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
“Wonderful guy. Percy came back happy and healthy. No issues. Great communication, super flexible, wonderful to work with and will choose him again if he is available the next time we are in town. Thank you!”

“Skye did an amazing job taking care of my 3 pets. They were all very calm and happy when I had arrived home. She played with my dog Luna in the yard and the pictures showed a very happy girl with her red ball.”
About: I’ve taken care of, and loved, animals since I was a child. Including my own family dog who is now 17, cats, chickens, and snakes. I recently graduated and am missing my puppy more than ever. While I can’t have pets of my own right now I’d love to help care for yours! I’m available afternoons, and evenings on weekdays, and all day on weekends. My work schedule is flexible and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and spacious house located within a lovely neighborhood with it’s own little hiking trail for your pet to explore.
“Lupita and I had a an easy time arranging a meet-and-greet, and she arrived promptly at the agreed-upon hour. Walking her through the kitty routine was easy, and everything seemed to go well while I was away. On my return, all kitties were in good shape, and the house was clean. Furthermore, during my absence a special (not cat related) issue arose, and Lupita was kind enough to help address it.”
About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.
About: I’ve had kitties in my life ever since I can remember. Reading body language and acting accordingly has become something I’m very accustomed to. And as a fairly avid dog sitter, I feel confident in my abilities to sit cats. My goal is to ensure your baby’s needs are met and no boundaries are crossed!
“Mamoo took very good care of my two cats and sent updates with pictures and comments. I had a worry free trip away. Mamoo provided in-home care. Mamoo is sensitive and perceptive regarding cats' preferences and communications and adjusts his care to meet your pets' needs. For instance if your pet is too nervous to come out to regular feeding area, he will bring food to the cat and approach slowly and respectfully. My cats warmed up to Mamoo and he gave them lots of love and attention. My cats were not showing any signs of stress after my return which is unusual for one of my cats! I highly recommend Mamoo as your service provider.”
“Hannah went WAY above my expectations. My cat got skunked and she got some special shampoo and washed him carefully and took such excellent care of him! I couldn’t ask for better! I would highly recommend her to sit your pet.”
About: I’ve been a cat lover since high school when I got my first cat, Daisy. She’s been my best friend ever since, and caring for her has given me valuable hands-on experience in cat care. From feeding and grooming to cleaning her litter box and ensuring she feels loved and comfortable, I understand the dedication and attention cats need. Whether your cat is playful and energetic or more independent and reserved, I’ll provide personalized care to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.
“Sera is the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! She was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats right from the meet-and-greet. She was extremely personable, professional, detail oriented, and a true cat lover. She took such sweet photos of our cats during her visits, which made it easier to be away from them. Thank you, Sera, for being the best in the biz!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a 9 or 10. My grandmother lived in a coastal town in South Carolina and would feed and rescue all the stray cats in the area. Since then, I have been a cat sitter for everything from Short Hairs to Ragdolls. My best bud of all time was a Maine Coon named Benjy who cuddled all day.
“Luna took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday, and was incredibly thorough! We were able to relax without worrying about them during the few stormy days. We really appreciate everything!”
About: I pet sat in Southern California for over a month. I took care of two senior cats with special oral medications, one cat with a dietary restriction and a senior dog pitbull with a lot of energy! I have a lot of experience with caring for cats in particular ones who don’t like to eat, but need a bit of encouragement to do so. Happy to do drop-ins for your lovely feline companion or to take them out for a little bit :)
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals since I was 9. I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve even taken care of reptiles! I take great pride in the fact that I’ve trained many dogs (all self taught) I believe I have an amazing set of qualities like genuine love for animals, reliability, excellent communication with pet owners, and flexibility in scheduling. I also believe I create a comfortable and safe environment for pets.
About: I’ve grown up with pets most of my life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even horses! I love teaching my dogs new tricks and skills, and trust me, even an old dog can learn new tricks! My family’s Vizsla is now 14 so I am no stranger to special care for senior dogs. I have previous overnight experience with regular families in my hometown with various dogs and cats. Happy to go on long walks, runs, potty breaks, scheduled feedings, and even bathing. Im no stranger to getting my hands dirty. Having horses meant constant upkeep, cleaning, exercise, and training. I’m an animal lover through and through, here to provide the care they deserve! I’m currently a full time student at UC Santa Cruz, but love staying active in my free time! Many of my classes are online so my day to day availability is very open! Long walks, potty breaks, and overnight stays can all fit into my schedule. In a clients home I respect all set boundaries for the safety of myself and your pets. I always try to leave everything in better condition than I found it. No problem crating, tidying up, or washing bowls after the pets needs are fulfilled. Making sure doors are locked, fences are shut, and instructions are followed closely are my top priorities.

“Kate is the absolute best! We are happy with her watching our pup, Teddy. She takes great care of him and she treats him like he is her own. She is great at communicating and she keeps us updated on how he is doing while he stays with her. I cannot rave about her enough. I highly recommend having her watch your fur baby.”
“Leo was great! He was easy to communicate with, flexible and accommodating, and our pup had a wonderful time with him. We’d happily book with Leo again and definitely recommend him to other dog parents.”

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 a lot, 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 looking for a full-time job and I'm pretty flexible. In the meantime I 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 🫶🏼
“Susie immediately responded to my inquiry for dog sitting with less than two days notice and she quickly scheduled a Meet & Greet. She was VERY attentive to our Aussie throughout his time with her (about 6 hours) and took him out on a number of walks during the day. She shared great photo updates and was a very good communicator during the Meet & Greet and when sharing information about his day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“My dog doesn’t do change very well. Lauren worked with Buddy to calm him naturally and it not only made him feel safe, but for me to trust he would be ok. She adapted to changes to the scheduled stay and exceed my expectations for going with the flow. She was over generous with her time (10 hours) and didn’t suggest we paid her more. Of course I did but it was my choice. For the first time working with Lauren I give 5 out of 5 stars. I definitely would request her services again. Thank you Lauren”
“Arrow had a great time with Anna and her pup! She took the time to meet with him at a dog park she thought would be a good space for them and when they went there during their play date, they had a great time. Our dog needs some extra care sometimes, as he can be very high energy and over excited with other dogs and in new situations, and we appreciate Anna's calm demeanor and flexible attitude with him! I fully recommend her <3”
“My 90-pound boy just spend three days with Shannon for daycare. This was his second visit with her and her wonderful family, and we couldn't be happier with them! My pup was happy and relaxed at the end of the day, they took him for lots of walks, and Shannon was great with communication. He can't wait to go back!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and all ages! I grew up training and caring for a strong and stubborn German Shepherd. In the past few years, I’ve lived with a Retriever puppy - training him to be a sociable young man that goes potty outside. I’m the go-to for my friends and family when it comes to pet sitting. They trust me with their fur babies and appreciate how I maintain the routine their pet is familiar with. I work fully remote, so I have lots of flexibility when it comes to walks, playtime, and housesitting! On weekdays, I’m most available after 11:00am PT. I’m occasionally available on weekends! I want to care for your pet in the way you do! Please fill me in on their routine and their sensitivities! I want them to care for them in a way that feels familiar and safe.

I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and would love to welcome your pet with open arms! With me, your pet will feel right at home and can enjoy walks practically anywhere, anytime! I’m currently a student so aside from class times, I would love to have an opportunity to connect with and walk your pup! Especially during the summer, I am much more available than any other time of the year. Whenever I dog sit, I make sure to first establish a trusting and healthy relationship with the dogs! I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible and try my best to create a space that allows them to be themselves. With my services here, I am only offering walks but I still want to maintain a good relationship with your dog and others that we may encounter. I want them to feel safe and having fun while also being respectful of other’s and their spaces.
About: I have been a dog lover since I got my first dog, Kiwi the puggle, about 20 years ago. While I can't have a dog at my current place, I love to hang out with my friends dogs and dog walk/sit when I can. I have experience dog sitting a variety of dogs - from a senior german shepherd/mastiff mix to a bernadoodle puppy, to high energy australian shepherds and golden retrievers. I would be more than happy to take your dog for a long walk or hike (if that's what they'd like), and am fine with just hanging on the couch and giving pets. I also have experience cat sitting! I had a rambunctious tuxedo cat in college named Chia who I loved dearly. I was the regular sitter for my friends cat who required oral medication. I've cat sat for a number of other cats, from a range of playful to timid to independent. Happy to tell you more about myself and my experience, and I hope to have the chance to look after your adorable fur baby! I work from home Monday and Friday, so on those days I have flexibility to provide the care your pet specifically needs. While I am caring for a pet, I want to make them as comfortable as possible and prioritize attending to their needs. I try to respect your pets needs and boundaries as well as respecting the home that I am sitting in. If a dog seems high to medium energy, I try to provide stimulation through walks and play. I also make it a priority to respect the boundaries of your pet. I will give them space and let them come to me if they are shy, will be gentle and patient if I sense anxiety, all the while trying to let them know that they are safe & that I am a friend.
“Sam was great to work with! Super flexible for both the meet and greet and walk. She gave us a detailed rover card with photos, and was clearly working on our dog listening to her on the walk. Plus, she brought him treats from the Seattle barkery! :) will book again for sure.”

“We are so grateful for Yajaira's care of our little dog. Our dog is shy with new people but within just an hour or two Yajaira had already won her over, taken her for a walk and sent photos of our little dog relaxing in the house. We loved getting the cute photos and updates while we were away. Yajaira has excellent communication and it's no wonder why she has many 5-star reviews from pet parents. We'll gladly book with her again when we need a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Yajaira!”
“We arrived for a trip to Santa Cruz and found out our Roz was not allowed at the hotel due to her size. We started searching local pet hospitals, dog walkers, boarding facilities and the only place that could take her was all the way back in Santa Clara. As a last resort we checked Rover and Meghan came through for us. In the end Roz probably had as much fun as we did with her new friends during our weekend in Santa Cruz. Thanks Meghan!”

I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”
“Leo was so good with my Ice Bear. I was updated with her daily activities and received pictures as well. I felt reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would love to have Ice Bear stay with Leo again. Thank you.”
“My dog loved her stay with Shannon! Shannon was very communicative, providing updates and pictures throughout the stay. We’re looking forward to boarding our pup with her again soon.”
“Bianca was super flexible and patience with my dogs. We had two dogs that don’t get along well with one another and she graciously was willing to host both dogs. The dogs came back happy and slept as soon as they came home! My dogs have never been officially dog sat before so she made us feel comfortable and at ease while she was dog sitting. Highly recommend booking with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for 30 years. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. My own dogs have graduated top of their class in puppy training school. I currently work from home, so I can arrange my schedule to make sure dogs in my care get all the love, affection, and attention they need and deserve. I have a small fenced in yard, good for small and medium dogs. My dog is friendly and even shares some toys. I can crate your dog if preferred. I am also within walking distance to a dog park, and an easy drive to dog beaches
“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!”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
“Wonderful guy. Percy came back happy and healthy. No issues. Great communication, super flexible, wonderful to work with and will choose him again if he is available the next time we are in town. Thank you!”
About: I grew up caring for my golden doodle and have loved dogs ever since! I love being around dogs and will often dog sit or help friends walk their dogs when they’re not able to. I spend a lot of time outdoors so I would be more than happy to take your dog out for long walks and in any environment they enjoy being in. Please get in touch if you have more questions about my experience! I have a flexible schedule now until October so I can take care of your dog at any time that is convenient for you. I am available for daily walks and boarding if you need it! I am all about communication and learning what works best for your dog so I can provide the best care possible. I want to know the ground rules and what you’re comfortable with to ensure you furry friend is happy.
“Valentina took both of our pups over xmas and they returned very happy, with a goodie bag in tow. We will definitely use her again when venturing out of town. Thank you so much for everything, Valentina!”
“I can't even remember how many times we have used Jenna. My dog is incredibly nervous about being separated and when I walk up to her door each time I can tell how many mixed feelings she has she runs to the family so excited to see them and runs back to me knowing that I'm about to leave. Every picture we get she has that incredibly glowing big dog smile. Walks and love abound in this wonderful Rover home. It truly is a full family effort. Winona has chosen her favorite bed and sleeps there each visit. We will choose this loving caretaking family anytime they are available.”

“Ceili took great care of our dog, Willy, over the Fourth of July weekend. She was wonderful to work with—very responsive whenever we had questions and kept us updated throughout his stay. Willy had a great time with her, and it was clear he was well cared for. She was also incredibly accommodating when our plans changed slightly, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely trust her with Willy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Faith was a GREAT dog sitter! Buster stayed with Faith and her two cute dogs. Buster came home happy from playing with his new friends. Faith sent me pictures of Buster while at her home. I would hire Faith again in a second! Thank you, Faith!”
