“Sofia is the best rover sitter we have had so far. She trained our doggies how to shake! We received daily updates and cute videos from her, as well as fresh chicken eggs from her! Will definitely recommend her and send my dogs in future.”
“Joyce was awesome. Our 14.5 year old labradoodle, Chloe, stayed with her for about 9 days. Chloe was well looked after, and all her needs, including daily medications, were met perfectly and lovingly by Joyce. She took every bit of instruction on Chloe's care (which wasn't that much) diligently, and kept us updated daily with photos and other tidbits of information on Chloe. I'll definitely be using Joyce again!”
“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.”
“Kara took the best care of Frankie. She was very knowledgeable about different breeds and what Frankie could and could not do. He had the time of his life and I will definitely be continuing care with Kara every time we go out of town, and also just to keep Frankie able to spend time with other dogs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.”
“I was in a pinch and needed a dog sitter for my puppy Coconut last minute and I am so grateful to have found Christy and Cornell. My puppy had an amazing time staying with them and I couldn’t be more grateful the exceptional care and love they gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Michael was fantastic! This was our first Rover experience - we usually have a dog sitter - abs everything was great. Our dog had a great time. Michael kindly sent multiple photos every day. We will definitely come back🐶”
“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!”
“My large dog Yeti can be prone to anxiety, but looked very comfortable and relaxed in Diane's care. She took him out several times on walks and also let Yeti explore her beautiful backyard. Diane also sent detailed updates with photos and was very kind when I messaged that I was running a little late. Thanks again for watching Yeti!”
“Jennifer is our go-to pet sitter for our dog Kona. We have used her several times now and always appreciate all the pictures and updates while we are out of town. Kona is nervous around new people but warmed up to Jennifer and her family no problem. We feel lucky to have found Jennifer!”
About: Dogs have been and always will be one of my greatest loves! My childhood dogs made my life so much more meaningful. When our own kids were growing up we had two dogs which we adopted as puppies and had the pleasure of having until they passed from old age. Both our son and daughter are Rover dog sitters and we have greatly enjoyed helping them care for these amazing dogs. Now, we are ready to take care of our own! We are a retired couple who loves dogs and will almost always be home to provide companionship and love to your pup. We also enjoy taking dogs on neighborhood walks and making sure that they have a fantastic vacation while in our care! We have a large fenced yard and a grassy area for the dogs to run around in. We also have a swimming pool. Our peaceful neighborhood is perfect for going on walks with the dogs and we will send daily photos of your dog to you!
“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!”
“TL; DR Li-Ting is a great sitter and I highly recommend her. Li-Ting has been taking care of our dog with love and attention to every details. Our dog is very sensitive to new environment and she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. However, from the daily updates from Li-Ting, I can see our dog is getting used to the environment and the companion with her body language. Thanks again for taking good care of our flurry daughter and we truly appreciate it.”
“Nadia was great with our puppy Bailey. Bailey loved her right away. Nadia sent us plenty of pictures to keep us updated with her stay. Bailey came home happy and sleepy from how much fun she had at Nadia's!”
“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”
“Yoona, Minjae, and their sweet pup Buddy were absolutely wonderful hosts for my Bichon, Teo. This was Teo’s first stay outside the care of a family member, but from our very first meeting in Yoona and Minjae’s clean, welcoming home, I felt completely at ease knowing he would be in the best hands. Teo was comfortable with them right away, and the photos and videos they shared throughout his stay showed just how happy he was - enjoying plenty of walks, enrichment, and feeling truly included as part of their pack. It was clear that Teo received so much love and attention; he was affectionate with Yoona and Minjae and was genuinely treated like a member of their family. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. The entire process was seamless, and Teo was calm and confident being left in their care. I couldn’t recommend Yoona and Minjae more highly, and know that Teo would be thrilled to return for future daycare or boarding stays.”
“Kimberly was wonderful with our baby! We appreciated all of the updates and extra special care she provided to our sweet girl. I definitely recommend using her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Cici had a wonderful time staying with Aleksei and Galina. They provided us with photos and videos, which was fantastic. They also took her on walks that she thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!”

About: Cats have always been a big part of my life. I currently have two of my own and grew up caring for several cats with a wide range of personalities and needs—from affectionate house cats to seniors requiring extra care, and even feral cats that needed patience and understanding. I’m comfortable recognizing and respecting feline boundaries while also giving them the attention, playtime, and affection they enjoy on their own terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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)!”

“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!”
“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.”
“I trust Ulysses with my fur babies. I can tell they’ve been loved while I’m away. The pictures and videos he sends while caring for my kitties show how much they like him. He even takes my trash can out on garbage day.”
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
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.
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
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’ve had cats all my life and have always found myself preferring cats. I love their standoffish playful behavior and funny quirks. I’ve owned both friendly cats and more antisocial cats so I’m familiar with the wide range of cat behavior and can adjust accordingly.

“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!”
“Great communication, sent pics of our pup throughout the day. Met us at a convenient spot much closer to our campground to make it easier on us. Flexible timeframe. Great first experience with a dog sitter.”
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 🫶🏼

“Wow-Just wow! I am so appreciative of Florence & Wen! From the start to the end of the visit they were both so friendly, so loving with our dog and kept us in the loop with how he was doing the entire time. They played and walked him and when I picked him up you could tell he was SO happy with them which made us feel so comfortable leaving him with them! They were so personable and took amazing care of our pup and it was very clear he had a great time with them. Will definitely be booking them again and trust them with our pup who is our life!”
“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!”

About: I have had my dog Samba for about 8 years. When we adopted him I promised my parents that I would walk and take care of him, and I have kept. that promise ever since 😆. I also enjoy pet sitting for friends and neighbors dogs/cats/guinea pigs/bearded dragons. I’m an incoming college freshman and I want to stay busy doing something fun before school starts in late September. I’m an incoming college freshman and I want to stay busy doing something fun before school starts in late September. I am essentially free every day and most of the time, the whole day. I’m also willing to wake up early or stay up late. I think it really depends on the type of pet, but for dogs I usually let them out in the morning after waking up, right before going to bed, and any time in between that they need to go. Walks will be 1-2 times a day to the park or around the neighborhood, and playing in the backyard is an option too if the dog seems interested. In a clients home it will probably be the same, or different as requested.
“Bhumi seems like a very nice woman, and I believe she takes care of Coco nicely and patiently. If she can send a text or a picture of Coco to show me how she is doing, that would help me feel more relaxed, especially at the beginning of the few times.”
“Samie loved staying with Krystal! Krystal was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. Samie usually takes a while to warm up to people, but by the second day, she was wagging her tail and barking as we pulled up! We will be working with Krystal again soon. :)”

“My doggo Em loves her play time visits with Lara weekly. Lara is always on time, easy to communicate with, and great with Em. A blessing to have a reliable resource in our busy schedules. Thanks for being there for Em each 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!”
“Our dog was in last stages of lymphoma. Aiyana gave her her last gentle walks and was very understanding and supportive about the situation. When we have another dog, we will definitely use Aiyana's services again.”

“Kara took the best care of Frankie. She was very knowledgeable about different breeds and what Frankie could and could not do.

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.
“Norelvis was amazing with my dog, kind, attentive, and truly caring. I got updates and photos that showed my dog was happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was clearly well loved and cared for. I’ll definitely book with Norelvis again!”
“Hi, I can tell when my dog was not stressed upon return from a boarding experience and our dog, was happy when no the caring hands of Steve and co. I got regular updates and My dog went on long walks and hikes. He had the company of other dogs and behaved in Steve’s presence- him being a trainer himself. Both the parties felt that it was a good fit - before boarding. Will not hesitate to recommend Steve with a glowing 5-stars!”
“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.”
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. We plan to take one dog every 2-3 months and to shower them with love and attention. If you're interested in our family, chances are best if you coordinate with us well in advance :) 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. On the weekends, after school, on holidays, and during summer break, my daughters will shower your pup with love and attention. 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. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is safe and happy.
“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.”
“Juliana took such great care of Dexter and sent us so many wonderful pictures. Dexter looked very happy during his stay with Juliana. We highly recommend her and will be booking her again in the future!”
“Xiaoyun took very good care of our fur baby Baloo, and he looked very happy while in her care. She was thorough in reading the instructions we provided, and asked questions to make sure she met Baloo’s needs. She was very good about sending us updates as well. I look forward to having her care for our pup again in the near future!”
“Matthew was amazing! Our cats took well to him and were very comfortable. My daughter felt secure and appreciated all the updates he provided. Will definitely keep him in mind for the next time I need a pet sitter.”
