We will absolutely be booking with Sriram and his awesome family again!”

“Thank you Rachel for taking care of my furr babies while I was away. I appreciate the thorough daily updates and checks to give me a peace of mind and allowing me to enjoy my trip. It was a testament to your patience and pet whispering skills that you befriended even Whiskey who’s notoriously known for giving hisses and growls to anyone outside the household. Thanks again and looking forward to working with you again :)”
“Yi is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of my cat who absolutely adores her. She gave my cat plenty of play time, treats, cuddles, fresh water and clean litter. She took the time to meet up with me and my cat to learn about our space, my cat’s personality and needs. She was respectful of my home and was a great communicator. I would definitely book with Yi again!”
About: I focus on calm, dependable, and attentive care. I know cats can be sensitive to changes, so I try to keep their routine consistent and make visits feel low-stress and comfortable. I’m patient with shy cats, gentle with senior cats, and always pay attention to details like appetite, litter box habits, and behavior changes. I also send clear photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they are away.
“Ke was very responsive and easy to coordinate meeting my cat. He was very comfortable with her. Ke spent a good amount of time with him while I was away and sent plenty of photos. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a catsitter.”
“Andrea was so sweet with Benny 🐈⬛ and took great care of him while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and it made me feel really comfortable leaving him with her. Benny seemed happy and relaxed when I got back, which says a lot. I’d definitely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Jonathan was so great with our kitten, Felix, who liked him as soon as they met. He was very in tune with Felix, making sure he was stimulated and cuddled enough. He also sent tons of pictures and videos and made our time away as easy as possible!”
“Xiaoming (Yuki) is an amazing cat sitter! She took incredible care of our two cats while we were away, treating them with love and attention as if they were her own. She even handled daily medication for one of our cats - no small task - and did so with patience and confidence. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos and gave us daily updates on their condition, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Candy is friendly and detail oriented. She missed a water bowl once (we have a few) but actually went back to refill it when we realized it, which I really appreciate. She even made an attempt to clean up a hairball that Roomba drug around everywhere, which I consider above and beyond. Very communicative and helpful.”
“Fernanda did a great job! She always let me know when she was on the way to visit my cat, sent me lots of pictures to keep me updated, and answered any questions I had.”
“Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!”
“Lisa provided excellent care for our very affectionate cat, and for the first time, he didn't seem to miss us as much as usual. We were happy to return to a tidy home. I am relieved to have found a reliable and pet-loving cat sitter who takes great pride in her work. We also enjoyed receiving adorable pictures of Enzo. I highly recommend Lisa!”
“Lisa was great with my cats! This is my first time hiring a pet sitter so I was a bit nervous at first but my cats were drawn to her immediately! Normally they are scared of strangers but they loved her. Lisa sends great pictures and notes from her visits which is comforting to see when you’re away. I plan to rebook her for my future trips out of town!”
“Alondra did an outstanding job taking care of Miss Lily. My kitty couldn't have hoped for a better sitter. She was waiting at the door, always happy to see her sitter. I highly recommend the device of Alondra.”
“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“Rachel took a great care of our cat during our long travel! I loved getting daily pictures from her. She also kindly agreed to look after our plants which we’re very thankful about!!”
“I highly recommend Chamu for anyone who needs a trusted sitter and want to feel reassured that their pet is well taken care of. I booked Chamu as a drop in visit during my long trip. I was hesitant because my cat is very hesitant when it comes to strangers and I had not booked any service through Rover before. Normally my cat gets visitors but due to holidays there were nobody around, so I had to turn to Rover for last minute drop in bookings. Both times I booked Chamu she was very responsive and very accommodating. The visits themselves were very short, but she did everything and more. She refilled his food and water, tidied up his litter, and played with him. She also sent me pictures, and I was happy to see that he was very receptive to her. Overall, I am very happy with my experience with her and would highly recommend her. I would definitely book her again if I ever need to.”

About: Dogs and cats have been a meaningful part of my life for the past 18 years, and caring for them has taught me how much love, patience, and trust goes into pet care. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will truly pay attention and treat them with kindness. What sets me apart is that I’m very detail-oriented and empathetic. I notice small changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or mood, and I adjust based on what each pet needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I can also help reinforce basic routines like feeding schedules, leash manners, and calm behavior. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Here’s a good way to phrase it: I’m currently between full-time roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be reliable for last-minute or recurring bookings. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home or a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level. I keep the environment calm, clean, and low-stress, especially for senior dogs or pets who need extra patience. I’ll also provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and happy.
“I've hired Michael as my dog sitter twice now, and both times my dog came back all "pooped" from the long walks and play time, she basically went to bed as soon as we got home haha! He also sent me quite a few pictures and updates during my dog's stay which helped keep me worry-free (I tend to get a bit anxious when hiring a new pet sitter, but he did not disappoint !)”
“Angela and Kangwoong were amazing! They walked and played fetch with our dog and ensured that she felt comfortable in their home. We also received photos throughout the day.”
“Jessica was fantastic with Ollie! She took great care of him even though he wasn’t feeling well and had intricate care instructions. She is very punctual and communicative. Would definitely book with her again!”
“I’m so happy that Dawn has the patience for my senior dog. Stan has now visited Dawn three times and he is getting more comfortable every time. Dawn has gone above and beyond to ensure Stan’s is welcome in her home.”
“We have left Bingo with Irina several times after a meet & greet, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. She is a caring, attentive, and highly responsive sitter who truly goes the extra mile. We always received regular photos and videos of our little one, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We are very happy with her service and feel completely confident leaving Bingo in her care. We will definitely continue to use her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Steven and Pei Shan are a very friendly couple. Their Shiba, Mika is super fluffy and cute! My dog Jojo is a very anxious and jumpy dog but they made her feel very comfortable in their home. They gave updates and beautiful photos of Jojo while in their care. Jojos first stay with them went very well and I’ll be continuing to use their care for my dog. Recommend to all!!”
“Paula took great care of our puppy and clearly has a gentle loving way with dogs! She puppyproofed her entire home so that puppies feel free to run around and make friends with other dogs, and had great outdoor spaces where they can get fresh air (as well as a lounge space for the introverts!) We’re looking forward to putting our puppy Lucy at her daycare regularly when she gets a bit older. Can’t recommend Paula enough!”
About: I grew up in a home with multiple pets, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My daughter has been asking for a dog, and while we’re not ready for our own just yet, we truly enjoy welcoming visiting pups into our home and treating them like family 🐕💛 I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. We enjoy daily walks 🐾, playtime 🎾, and lots of cuddles, while always respecting each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to follow your dog’s routine closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, special diets, walk preferences, or exercise needs. My goal is to make your dog feel happy and at home while you’re away.
“Ruo took great care of my doggy Tsuki. Very attentive to her needs and was able to adjust to our scheduling. Tsuki enjoyed plenty of fun outside time and love from her family. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra and her family are amazing with our corgi Olive. She has been going for daycare and always comes back happy and tired after a long day of playing. We love all of the photo updates that Alexandra sends throughout the day. She is kind and a great communicator!”
“My dog Oscar absolutely loves Tillana! He gets so excited when she picks him up. He runs to her car knowing that he is going to have the best day. He gets to play fetch and run around with his dog friends. I notice he is always so worn out when he gets home. Tillana is the best dog sitter I have had!”
“We had a late-night, last minute need for a sitter for our 9-week old puppy. Crystal immediately and enthusiastically responded and the whole experience could not have been smoother. It was obvious our puppy received excellent care and lots of affection. Thank you Crystal!”

“This is the second time we have worked with Mike. He is phenomenal. During our a week away, our two dogs were under great hands. Mike follows all our care guides extremely well even helped to give medication to our senior dog. Highly recommended.”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, birds and fish ever since I was a little kid! I love animals and they have always enjoyed my company as well. :) I am currently in-between jobs, and I can be available at any time in Los Altos, CA starting end of April! I look forward to being in contact! I will be able to provide your pet with any kind of service they need. This can range from walks, baths, meals and playtime! Let me know which service you would like me to provide!
“Estela is a wonderful walker! Lana can be a handful but Estela did a great job controlling her and tiring her out so that she was calm and well behaved at home! Would love to have Estela as a walker again!”
“Jhonatan was a great match for our big lovable lab. He arrived on time, sent pictures of walks together, and gave us updates on how our dog was doing under his care. We really appreciate Jhonatan's service.”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s furry friends since a very young age- including dogs of all types. From newborn puppies, to energetic young dogs, and elderly sick pups, I have a wide range of experience in the different care that’s needed. I also have experience as a vet assistant at pets in need, where I learned the importance of hygiene, attention to detail, and the bond between us and our furry friends. Lastly, I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was young! I have two dogs of my own, one of which has special needs, so I truly understand the importance in finding someone trustworthy and capable. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! I’m recently unemployed due to my chronic illness, and am a full time college student. So im open to work everyday! Some days in the mornings, and some days on afternoons. I’m looking forward making money in something that I love and that is flexible. I have a fenced yard outside for playtime, as well as a gate inside my house to keep my dogs secure and safe. I have lots of toys and space in my house!
“Rachel is wonderful with Bodhi - attentive to his needs, and giving him good big walks even in short periods of time. Rachel is responsive and helpful with Bodhi - retrieving him quietly if our baby is sleeping, and ensuring he had lots of water when he returns! Thanks, Rachel!”
“Andrea has been great walking Rico, my 14 year old pug. Rico is now a special needs dog due to his advanced age. I gave Andrea a pretty long list describing how to handle Rico and she covered it all. I definitely trust Andrea with Rico and will set up regular walks with her on an ongoing basis.”
“Ghazaal was an excellent dog walker for my pups Matcha and Mango. She was very accommodating and kept me updated about how they were doing while I was away. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a communicative and reliable dog walker!”
“Caroline is an outstanding dog walker! She instantly built rapport with our dog Goldie and listened to my instructions (to not have her walk too close to other dogs).I felt Goldie was well taken care of during her walks. She also took and sent several photos. A+”
About: I've been a large dog owner for most of my life, but I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Ready to meet the unique needs of every pup, and I come with some basic pet training experience. While I'm here for the summer (May-July), I have complete flexibility throughout the week and weekend. I have no qualms taking them out early in the morning or later at night (around 7AM-10PM depending on the location). Although I'm based in Palo Alto, I am more than willing to cycle or drive to locations throughout the peninsula! I'm most experienced offering the basic services of walks (usually several a day, can range anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the needs of the dog), feeding, and playing in the yard or at the dog park. I'm also comfortable with basic training, washing, and watching them overnight. While I wouldn't be able to bring any dogs to my own home, I am more than happy to house sit and stay with them overnight.
“Courtney has been great with my dog. She consistently walks her weekly and sends wonderful pics of her. I appreciate the consistency and how trustworthy she is with my dog.”
About: Hi! My schedule will be tailored to yours. I am very flexible and willing to do services with little prior heads up. Just message me for whatever you need and I will make it work. Ive taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since i was very young. There has always been some sort of animal in my house hold whether thats a small dog, a big dog, a couple of cats, birds or guinea pigs. My relationship with my animals has always been a mutual respect for each other without any issues in the past with authority which is due to my training and conditioning with my animals. I’ve made my home a safe and loving environment for my animals with their best interests considered first with daily physical and mental stimulation with fun games and walks as well as nutritious diets containing real food. I’d love to get to know your pup and take him or her on long walks. I dont have a very packed schedule so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! Im able to walk or feed your dog before 9 am and at around 12.30 in the afternoon every weekday as well as boarding your pup or kitty at my house or watching your dog overnight at your home every week day except Friday. Weekends I have more flexibility during the day and can watch your companion overnight on saturday and sunday if needed. I am flexible with day of requests for random times and can make those work every now and then. ALL PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE. I have a fenced back yard and a very friend shiba inu and chow chow mix who is a spayed female dog and is the light of my life and a black outdoor cat. My dog is very friendly with all animals and is very curious of being friends with others and would be a perfect companion for your animal.
About: I have vet office experience and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I'm familiar with all kinds of pets, from giant dogs to the tiniest kittens (and other small animals like rabbits and reptiles!) and all of life's stages. I'm comfortable administering medications and strive to keep you updated on your furbaby's wellbeing while you're away. I'm currently between full time work, so have more time to spend with your furbabies! I'm available most weekends and happy to help for those longer trips. Safety is my top priority! Making sure your pets are comfortable and cared for to your standards and for your peace of mind while you are away is what I strive for.
“Molly is super nice and respectful, and has plenty of experience with dogs and other animals. She was very sweet and understanding of my pup and took their first meeting very well. They bonded and were friends pretty quick! I'm excited to have her as a new friend for my boy Bean, and I know they'll have a great friendship! Thanks for being flexible and so helpful with Bean!”

“Che did an amazing job taking care of Tehya during her stay. I received regular updates on her meals and walks, along with daily photos, which was really comforting and reassuring. Tehya seemed to feel completely at home with Che, and it was clear she was well cared for and happy. I’d highly recommend Che to anyone looking for a loving and reliable home for their pet while they’re away.”
“I used Jalen on short notice for watching (boarding) my hound dog for an extended period of time of three weeks over the holidays. We met personally at a local park so he could meet my cantankerous pooch and Jalen was enthusiastic to watch my dog. Jalen sent pictures, kept in touch with me whenever I reached out. Highly recommended!”
“I’m very happy with the service I received! My dog stayed with Siqin and her husband for a couple of days, and it was a great experience. Siqin was very kind and responsive—she kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog clearly enjoyed her time with them and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Siqin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On days I go into the office, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.
“Irina was a fantastic dog sitter for our Sophie! She clearly loved her, and we could tell Sophie was happy and well cared for the whole time. Irina sent lots of updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Wanyi is a very responsible person. My dog is afraid of large dogs, she makes sure my dog is well protected when playing outside. Wanyi also has access to a private dog park that there are not many other dogs, which is a great plus for my dog. Wanyi carefully monitors my dog’s health, and checks with me timely whenever she sees anything worth noting. She’s a great person I can totally rely on to take care of my dog.”

“Smitha was amazing with Roo! She can be a very anxious pup, so Smitha even scheduled a meetup time beforehand to get Roo introduced. This was our first time hiring a sitter that wasn’t a family member/friend, so even we were nervous, but she made Roo feel very comfortable. When we went to pick her up, she even gave Smitha a hug goodbye! I could tell she enjoyed her time there”
“Jean is so kind, patient and easy to communicate with from start to finish. She always replies quickly and sends steady updates and photos, which took all my worry away while I was away. It’s clear she’s genuinely gentle and comfortable around dogs, my pups instantly warmed up to her and clearly love being with her. They came home happy, calm and well cared for. Jean is reliable, thoughtful and extremely patient, I fully trust her and will absolutely book again.”
“Marivel really kept us informed and sent pictures everyday. Frisco seemed happy and adjusted, even though he's never been boarded before. He had the chance to interact with many different dogs and we're hoping that he's gets more easy going with our cat. Thank you, Marivel, for taking good care of our precious dog.”
