About: Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm working remotely from home part-time, so have lots of time to spend with doggies. I'm available both weekends and weekdays and rarely leave home for more than a couple hours, so your dog won't be alone for too long. I have a fenced backyard and deck, and two mellow spaniels to keep your doggo company. I also have a crate where your pet can rest if needed.
“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
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 watched my golden retriever while I was in the area for a job training for about five days. She was very responsive via the rover app and answered all my questions we met up and my dog loved staying at her house. It was like dog summer camp for sure! he is pooped. I am happy and everything went excellent. I will use her again when I’m in the area.”
“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.”
“Daisy has had another wonderful stay with Shannon, Chris and their family. This was a 7-night stay and Daisy was treated like one of the family! Shannon sent pictures each day and followed all our requests on how to care for our sweet but slightly anxious dog who also has a few 'quirky' behaviours. We are so thankful to have found people and a home where we know Daisy will be safe and cared for!”
“Kathleen was amazing! She took great care of my pup and gave her a wonderful, fun-filled weekend. My dog Mira loved hanging out with Kathleen and her family! Great communication the entire time. Was very lucky to find such a gem of a dog sitter!”
“Yajaira did a great job watching my 11mo old Pomeranian! She kept me updated and sent pics and a video of her playing with her dog! So cute! I will definitely use her again when I’m in town for a visit!”
“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!”
“Chelsea was great! Her home was so lovely & yard was perfect for Austin. Chelsea’s pup, Toby, was excited to have Austin over too and they got along great. She provided me with regularly updates so I knew he was in good hands. Chelsea was also super patient and understanding with Austin’s needs. Highly recommend :)”
“Roxy got so much love from Jenna’s family. I could tell how happy she was around them and she was actually really sad to leave! I hope next time we’re in the area Roxy can see her friends again. Thanks so much.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”
About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met. I always make sure to spend extra quality time with the dog if I noticed that it is feeling sad that its owners are away.
“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!”
“Dani and Ronan kept our 2 pups for 2 days. They took great care of them providing everything they needed including lots of play and outside time. They were very communicative, professional, considerate, even sent updates and pics. Their home is clean and well kept. Their 2 puppies are sweet, well behaved and provided good company for my visiting pups. I loved working with them and our puppies came home happy. Can’t say enough great things about Dani and Ronan. So happy to have found someone local we like. Looking forward to our next booking with you both. Thank you for everything Dani and Ronan!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Trixie during our recent travels. You two are the best! It's hard for us to leave Trixie, but we are always comfortable leaving her with you. And I think she settles in with you quite well! Best, Judith & Mike”

About: I have had the privilege of caring for my German Shepherd, Rex, for three years, which deepened my passion for working with animals. Over the past 5 years, I have also gained extensive experience through Rover, specializing in dog training, behavioral corrections, and structured care. My expertise includes addressing common challenges such as excessive barking, leash pulling, aggressive tendencies, and uncontrolled anxiety. I work closely with pups and pet parents to ensure continuity in the care and training methods their pets are accustomed to or can develop. I also work with other sitters to learn more about certain situations and how I may better myself as care giver and teacher! I currently doing Rove full time, allowing me to dedicate my time to training sessions, structured walks, and behavior-focused activities. I am currently finishing up my schooling online and building my business on the side. The pets I care for are treated like family. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each dog and their Kahu, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. Whether working on obedience training, leash manners, or socialization, I prioritize creating a structured yet nurturing setting. All the while keeping you the parent’s schedule in mind and routine so that your pup go about their day in the best way possible!
“Chelsea does great with my puppy Ringo! She was able to come last minute ( my daughter called me worried about him when she left for work, she said he was barking and had some separation anxiety! ) By the time I got home, he was a happier puppy after Chelsea’s visit!”
“Julia was amazing! Super communicative and flexible. She watched my two cats and was very patient with their shyness and did everything they needed to be comfortable while I was away. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Jasmine is an exceptional pet sitter. She goes out of her way to make sure my messy cats are comfortable when they’re home alone and she leaves detailed reports after each visit. I’ll continue hiring her as long as I’m in the area. Highly recommend!”
“My dog felt very comfortable around Adam, who was really accommodating in coming on short-notice and doing a quick play session to introduce himself to Champ. Adam was also very understanding about giving me updates on my dog throughout his visit. This was the first time my dog was left with someone else in months, and am glad it was with someone I felt I could trust!”
“Morgan is fantastic! She takes great care of the cats in our absence, arrives on time, sends lots of check in with us too. We are so thrilled to have someone we trust completely with our kitties. The kitties bonded quickly with her and we're so happy!”
“Trisha was great dropping in on our dog! She provided prompt updates and even insights on how her leash reactivity (and training) is when she's on walks. Very thorough and thoughtful!”
About: I've owned cats for as long as I can remember, and am passionate about taking care of them. They have always been my favorite animal- so much so that I am full of so many fun facts about cats. I love spending time with kitties of any age, and have experience caring for very young kittens, seniors, and cats with medical conditions like FIV. I spent much of my time in high school cat sitting for my community, and want to extend that to my college life! I live with three beautiful girls (two of which are mine, one is my roommate's baby) and I love them to death!

“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.”
“Nancy was a dream come true. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well when we dropped her off and Nancy welcomed her with open arms and kept us updated throughout the day. I felt like our dog was in the best hands possible to take care of her when we couldn’t.”
About: Experienced dog owner since childhood, experienced with dogs of all types and personalities. Your pup will get several daily walks and access to a secure backyard. I work from home, taking frequent walks and breaking to play and snuggle. I work remote taking frequent walks with Toby (My 17lb terrier) throughout the day. Our backyard offers a sunny, warm patio perfect for lounging, as well as ample space for Toby and any visiting pets to enjoy a game of fetch. Our home is designed with our furry companions in mind. Toby and guests have full access, especially cozy spots on the couch and bed. The thoughtful layout, with distinct rooms, facilitates separate feeding times and private retreats when needed. A large assortment of toys encourages play, and fresh water and treats are always within reach. Toby especially enjoys sunny afternoons on the patio and invigorating games of fetch in our secure, fully fenced yard, with plenty of room for lounging and play. Toby is a sweet, excellently socialized and confident pup. He is used to canine and human guests, and shares his space, toys and food willingly. If your baby loves to play, Toby will keep them occupied for hours.

About: I have taken care of pets for quite some time. I grew up on a farm, so I have been around all sorts of animals all my life. I recently moved back here to the valley from Santa Cruz. Will be here for a year or so. When I was in Santa Cruz I volunteer for the animal shelter there. I recently moved here from Santa Cruz, and will be starting work at the school in the fall, so I am looking to do some pet sitting, and dog walking, during the summer. I have a fenced yard, but I am not doing pet care at my home at this time. I am sharing home with family members
About: Hello! My name is Scottie T., i’m a recent college graduate with a bfa in theatre, perusing an MA at Santa Cruz. I have two dogs i miss back in Brentwood - so i’m more than excited to care for and play with another buddy. I have experience with a wide range of dogs: from raising chihuahua, dachshunds, golden retrievers, and french bulldogs. I’m a very active and outdoorsy person and I’m more than happy to give your best friends an outdoor experience that will either burn off steam for the active ones or take the brisk walks for the ones who just want to enjoy the fresh air. Tell me everything you want me to know about your specific furry friend! I want to make sure the dog is properly cared for and gets all his needs fulfilled! I am working remote, and will have plenty of time for your pets! I’m an early riser, and very active to fit your pets wants and needs! Currently in a one bedroom apartment and can have the dogs over for the day on weekends and nights on occasion. We don’t currently have other pets so your pet will have our full attention!
“Amanda was amazing with my dog, Luna. She took her on long walks and Luna came back tired and a very happy camper. It’s clear that Amanda is wonderful with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: I’ve looked after my own dogs since elementary school and started watching my friends’ pets around when I turned 12. I have absolutely loved animals (dogs especially) for as long as I can remember and it’s actually become a career goal of mine. I’m currently studying to be a wildlife veterinarian and am always eager for opportunities to care for and play with all sorts of animals. I have always loved dogs especially though and am so happy anytime I’m able to watch after them. I’m a student at San Jose City College and I work part-time so my time during the week is slightly limited. I am always able to fit in at least one midday visit, usually more but some days are tough. Mornings and evenings I’m free to visit your pups as much as needed or stay overnight! I am very comfortable around all sizes and species of dogs. I have some experience with puppy training as well and am perfectly happy to incorporate any specific training you might have for your pup. I have experience with medication so chow time will go smoothly even if your pup needs some medication.
About: Hi everyone! I’m just starting out on Rover but I’ve been a dog lover since day one. I have experience with dogs both big and small, in urban landscapes and suburban. I am attuned to their varying levels of energy, motivations, and comforts, all of which lets me form a quick bond with them! I’m a full time student at the UC, and work a part time job. Unfortunately, our hours at work were cut so until September, my schedule is relatively light! College dorms and apartments dont exactly have an abundance of dogs so I’ve been lacking in animal love. I hope to get my fill on Rover! My dogs have always been a part of the family, so that’s how I treat them! On my dog walks, I like to let them sniff all they want (but no eating!), I have no problem jogging if they’ve got some zoomies, and above all, I just want them to feel satisfied and ready to rest when they return home. I respect dogs as much as I respect people!
“Tyler was awesome. He went out of his way to take extra time with Moose and make sure he had everything he needed. He was a great guy and really easy to talk to and work with. Definitely recommend him and will definitely reach out to him again to watch our dog.”
“Jasmine helped us out while I am recovering from surgery. She did a wonderful job with our enthusiastic large dog. Jasmine knows how to handle large breed dogs and is very enthusiastic and gave our pup loving care.”
About: I currently work as a vet assistant at an animal hospital. My dream is to work as a veterinarian in exotic animal medicine! I am applying to vet school and want to make a career out of caring for animals. I have a lot of knowledge and compassion, and obviously a love for animals! I have taken care of dogs since I was little, whether it be experience with dog walking, taking care of small and big dogs as well as cat sitting. At home I have a well behaved sweet kitty who loves everyone! In addition I have had a small high-maintenance yorkie since I was young. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of time to care for pets and do not get off work very late. They would not be left for very long at all. I have a yard outback and lots of parks/beaches nearby to take your pet to. My house is one story and I always keep it very clean and sanitized!
About: I grew up with a house that always had at least one dog in it. I have always loved and been very comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve dog walked and dog sat for neighbors since I was a young kid. I’m currently a college student at UCSC on summer vacation. Now that I’m home my schedule is very open and I’m hoping to use my free time to take care of dogs! I have two dogs and three cats living at my house currently. Both dogs are friendly and the cats keep to themselves. I love hiking so I can take your dog on some awesome dog-friendly trails, or I can just walk them around your neighborhood.
“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve lived my entire life. I grew up with a golden retriever named Arwen, and from 8th grade on, I was fully responsible for her walks, training, and care. I even started waking up an hour earlier every day just to make sure she got her morning walk in before school! Later, when I moved to the U.S. for college, I helped raise and train my roommate’s husky puppy, Ava, who struggled with separation anxiety. I’d take her to class, skate with her to tire her out, and help her stay calm and confident. It was like co-parenting a very energetic fur baby—and I loved every minute. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from hyper puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My husband and I pet sat for two elderly Bichon Frises (17 years old!) every year while their owners traveled, carefully managing their diet, medications, and gentle exercise. I’ve also grown to love cats after living with Archie—my first real cat roommate—and have experience gently brushing, bonding, and caring for both indoor and stray cats (I even accidentally helped my mom adopt a kitten when I took in a stray!). Most recently, I taught my in-laws’ senior dog Ellie new tricks at the age of 7, proving that even older pups can learn with patience and love. We can’t have pets in our home right now due to landlord restrictions, so pet sitting is how I stay connected to what I love most—animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I am a bioengineering Ph.D. Student, most of the time I have freedom of picking my hours, as well as working from home when needed! I always start by learning as much as I can about your pet’s routine, preferences, health needs, and quirks. Whether it’s medication schedules, feeding routines, or special toys they love—I’m here to follow your instructions to a T. I do my best to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. I’m extremely respectful of your home and always aim to leave it just as you left it (or better!). I double-check doors and windows, never leave pets unsupervised outside, and keep a tidy, pet-safe environment throughout the stay. I also send regular updates—photos, videos, and check-ins—so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. If you ever need in-my-home care in the future (pending landlord approval!), my goal would be to provide a cozy, stress-free space that’s clean, safe, and set up to meet your pet’s unique needs.
About: I love dogs and all animals. I have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs. A big fan of the dog wisperer Cesar Malone. I have had many dogs and other pets in my family through out the years with successful training. I am a non smoker, reliable and caring person. I enjoy nature and will give your dogs fun walks and attention. I am a Reiki Master and can give energy healing. I have a large fenced yard with plenty room to wander. I am tidy and happy to pet sit and take care of plants and other animals as well. I have a great driving record and a car for transporting dogs to the dog park, hiking trails and the beach.
About: Stemming from a childhood with German shepherds, I’ve loved being constantly surrounded by animals for most of my life. I have experience with dog walking, playing with other dogs, watching overnight, and can accommodate as needed! I have open availability with a preference toward mornings and afternoons.

“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
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 watched my golden retriever while I was in the area for a job training for about five days. She was very responsive via the rover app and answered all my questions we met up and my dog loved staying at her house. It was like dog summer camp for sure! he is pooped. I am happy and everything went excellent. I will use her again when I’m in the area.”
“Daisy has had another wonderful stay with Shannon, Chris and their family. This was a 7-night stay and Daisy was treated like one of the family! Shannon sent pictures each day and followed all our requests on how to care for our sweet but slightly anxious dog who also has a few 'quirky' behaviours. We are so thankful to have found people and a home where we know Daisy will be safe and cared for!”
“Kathleen was amazing! She took great care of my pup and gave her a wonderful, fun-filled weekend. My dog Mira loved hanging out with Kathleen and her family! Great communication the entire time. Was very lucky to find such a gem of a dog sitter!”
“Yajaira did a great job watching my 11mo old Pomeranian! She kept me updated and sent pics and a video of her playing with her dog! So cute! I will definitely use her again when I’m in town for a visit!”
“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!”
“Roxy got so much love from Jenna’s family. I could tell how happy she was around them and she was actually really sad to leave! I hope next time we’re in the area Roxy can see her friends again. Thanks so much.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”
About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met. I always make sure to spend extra quality time with the dog if I noticed that it is feeling sad that its owners are away.
“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!”
“Lauren took wonderful care of Millie over several days including the 4th of July! She was conscientious and asked great questions about her needs both during the pre stay walk/meet and greet, and before/during her stay. I heard from Lauren daily (per my request when she asked how frequent I wanted texts and pictures), and she took Millie on daily walks, the beach/river for swimming and fetch after sticks, and paid attention to how to get her settled and comfortable. Millie was very comfy there, had fun, and walked right back in when we arrived! What a blessing. Millie was worn out and calm when we came, too- such a relief as she is normally very high energy. Lauren also communicated her schedule realistically and was on time and efficient, giving us info needed to drop off and pick up, and accommodated us during her visitor staying there, which she told us ahead of time. Her close proximity to the beach/river was also a nice surprise.”
“Yu took amazing care of Laika while we were in town for a wedding. She took her on many walks and was patient as Laika tried to get all the squirrels. She sent lots of videos and we rested easy know Laika was being taken great care of.”
“Marina took good care of our pup overnight. He had a great time and fun on their walks and beach adventures. We appreciated the fun pics and videos :) Happy to have Marina watch our dog anytime. Thanks!”
“Great experience! Lourdes is very responsive and attentive to your dog’s needs! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay and even got a toy ? to take home with us! Will definitely be coming back! Lourdes lives in very quiet private community with lots of areas to walk dogs and enjoy nature!”
