“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!”
“Malika took great care of Dapper. She sent us regular updates on his feeding, exercise and downtime. Her home is located beside a park and it's a great place to walk the dog.”
“Rachel is a fantastic caregiver who is always friendly, super flexible, and incredibly trustworthy. Lola always comes back happy and tuckered out! Thanks, Rachel!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
“Michael and Kris were amazing dog sitters! Our 12 year old mix breed dog (Kelbi) has extreme anxiety and does not do well with strangers. However she immediately fell in love with both of them and was clearly super happy when we picked her up after a one week stay. We are so happy to find Michael and Kris and will definitely use them in the future for boarding Kelbi.”
“Leah was absolutely phenomenal with my little Remy. It was my first time using rover so I was quite nervous. She sent regular photos and video updates which was absolutely charming! I will be going back to her also I 100% recommend her to all🐶”
“Ben did a great job with our dog for the weekend! I knew he was in good hands with Ben’s background, and we came home to a happy puppy. I’ll definitely be booking Ben again. Thank you!”
“Every time Sofiya and her family watch Koda, I know he is in good hands and has the best time. Her updates are timely and include pictures and the fun things he gets up to with the other dogs. I have already rebooked her for my next trip out of town.”
“I can’t recommend Sarah enough as a dog sitter. My dog, Teddy, absolutely loves staying with her—he gets genuinely excited every time he realizes he’s going back, which says everything. What I appreciate most is how incredibly detailed and consistent her updates are. Every day, she sends multiple photos and videos—Teddy eating, playing, going on walks, and even updates on how he’s doing overall. She keeps me fully informed, down to small but important details, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. It gives me real peace of mind knowing exactly how his day is going. It’s also clear that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She takes Teddy on walks, to the dog park, and even on hikes, making sure he stays active and happy. On top of that, her home environment is wonderful—her two dogs and her cat are all very friendly, and Teddy gets along great with them. He’s not just being watched; he’s having a great time. Whenever Teddy stays with Sarah, I know he’s safe, well cared for, and genuinely happy. I fully trust her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“This was our first time that we traveled without our 1.5-year-old puppy, Maple. This time, we made a big decision to trust someone else with Maple’s care. We were anxious about what sitter we might get. Fortunately, we picked an amazing sitter (Yoona & Minjae) that had cared for Maple with flying colors. Before the trip, Maple had a case of diarrhea, but Yoona & Minjae had carefully adjusted her diet and provided the right balance of exercise and rest making her much healthier and stronger than before. Buddy, Yoona & Minjae’s dog had seemed to keep her happy and emotionally settled. Yoona & Minjae was very professional, knowledgable, and diligent. From beginning to end, they kept in touch with us by updating us with photos and thoughtful responses on how she was doing. we were able to enjoy our trip completely at ease, knowing Maple was in the right hands. It’s hard to fully express in words how grateful we are❤️. I’m confident that if you too trust them with your dog that you’ll feel the same way.”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”
“Couldnt have asked for a better home for our pooch to stay the weekend. Julie was amazing sending us pics throughout. Love to have our pooch spend time with her and her dogs again for sure!”
“Parrish was amazing! She provided me with updates and photos to reassure me Loki was doing okay. She was also very friendly and personable so I felt extra comfortable leaving Loki with her. Thank you 🙏”
“Mochi had a great weekend stay. She was well entertained by the family and got along well with their dog Eberly. Home with enclosed yard is spacious and safe. We will definitely board again.”

“Lifei did a good job engaging with our shy cat. She took care of the litter box well and then of course the food and water. She took a lot of pictures so we could keep track of how our cat was doing(even included a neighborhood cat hanging out on the porch).”
“Zola is great! My cat is skittish and my partner’s cat is more outgoing, and she was able to give each the right amount of attention. By the end of our trip, they were right at home with Zola Her updates and fun photos were much appreciated as well; would rebook again!”
“Estefania helped me take care of my two boys while I was away for 10 days. She immediately got the boys trust around day2 or 3, which is amazing. She is also very responsive, and helpful. Highly recommended.”
“Sarah was very professional and sent updates each interaction she had with my dogs. My dogs are not necessarily easy to manage and she did phenomenally well with them. Which I am grateful for and also this was my first experience with Rover and for sure feel like I can use the app again. And would definitely ask Sarah next time.”
About: As a current cat owner and someone who's taken care of other cats in the past, I pride myself in attentiveness and patience when working with cats and respecting their boundaries. I additionally have experience in multi pet households so whether its one cat or two, or both a dog and a cat, I'm equipped with the knowledge on how to care for both!
“Sam went above and beyond! She only just started sitting for me and did a host of extra things: checking on the cats when they got outside accidentally, moving the cats into a secure room when I had maintenance happening while I was away, and even picking up my Amazon package. Hire Sam!”
“My cat was in great hands! Li was reliable, communicative and sent regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’d happily book with her again!”
“Anke was an amazing pet sitter who took excellent care of our ragdoll cat. She was very patient despite our cat being very shy. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. It was great to have peace of mind as we travel when we knew that our cat was well taken care of. When we met Anke, we could feel her love for cats as she approached our cat the first time. She was very friendly. She even left a thank you note for us and small gifts to our cat when we returned home. Very thoughtful! We would wholeheartedly recommend Anke! Thanks Anke for doing such a great job!”
About: Experienced dog walker with 10 years of hands-on care, including special-needs pups. Your dog will be safe, loved, and well-exercised! I am eager to explore more pets. I've been caring for my family dog for most of my life, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing loving care. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I'm available on weekday mornings until 11:00 a.m., after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and all day on weekends. On Mondays, I'm available after 8:00 p.m. due to class. I'm committed to making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am mostly inside my house. My house does have an open backyard and my neighbors is friendly to walk around. There are plenty of other pets around for your pet to play with.
“So grateful to have had Kayla’s help with my cat as I traveled. She was consistently on time with great communication, including lovely pictures and detailed updates. Most importantly, Siena (my cat) was in one of the best moods she’s been in after I’ve been away. Thank you!”
“Laura became friends with our super shy cat and was very communicative, which put us at so much ease. Our carbon monoxide detector began to chirp on the third day, and Laura diagnosed the problem and stopped the chirping, much to our cat's relief, all while communicating with us! This may not be as important, but I also think Laura takes great photos and includes thoughtful details in the narrative on the Rover card—each day I looked forward to reading it.”
“Sarah is so great with my cats and very communicative! My cats are generally shy around people, but not the case when she visits them at all. Thank you for taking such great care of them!”
“This was my third time booking with Yifei, and she has been fantastic every time. She is very responsible, responsive, and truly cares about Bonbon. I received lots of photos and updates during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Bonbon clearly likes her and was perfectly happy when I returned home. I highly recommend Yifei and will definitely book with her again.”
“If you're looking for a phenomenal cat sitter, Anabel is the one. She was always on time and super responsive whenever I reached out, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I also really appreciated how flexible she was with the timing. Going above and beyond just the basic care, she actually took the time to train my cat! It was such a cool surprise and shows how much she truly engages with the pets she watches. Highly recommend!”
About: I live with my own cat, so cats are the only animals I take care of. No dogs in my home and none on my schedule. Cats do not warm up on command, so I do not push. I feed on the schedule you already keep, scoop daily, keep the water fresh, and let your cat come to me when it is ready. Some never do, and that is fine. What I watch for is the quiet stuff: food left in the bowl, a litter box that looks different, a cat hiding somewhere new. If something changes I tell you the same day, with photos, instead of waiting until you are home.
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”

“Ezra was very communicative and attentive, and our dog Onyx had a great time! He got to play with a few other dogs his size, and Ezra made sure to introduce him to each dog 1:1 to make sure they got along first. So happy to have found a great daycare for Onyx!”
“Mikayla and her pup teddy are the best!! She welcomed in penny like her own and I felt at ease knowing penny was treated with love. Penny is a shy girl and was nervous going in, but was soon wrestling with teddy, napping together and overall not stressed. When I brought her for her second day, she was running inside and wagging her tail!! I typically worry if penny will be scared or anxious all day, but she had the best 2 days of playing and snuggling. Mikayla would often text updates so I knew she was in good hands. We can't wait for penny to come back again!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals through long term dog and cat fostering, as well as frequent pet sitting for friends and neighbors. My own cat is currently back home with family while I get settled here, but pets have stayed a big part of my life the whole time. What sets me apart is attention to detail. I send timely updates and photos during every visit, so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, a walk, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! My schedule is pretty flexible right now, and I can do drop in visits or walks 1 to 3 times a day depending on what your pet needs. Once I’ve gotten to know your dog or cat, I’m also happy to offer boarding. I live in an apartment with dog parks, which makes walks and outdoor time easy. For both walking and boarding, I only take care of one pet at a time, so your pet gets my full attention and a calm, low stress environment. I’m open to boarding for pets I’ve already met and feel comfortable with.

“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”

Thanks again for taking good care of our little guy and hopefully, Capo will see you all again soon!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a super friendly but needy beagle, so I know what it takes. I treat our dog like a child. My home is setup with a lot of dog beds and lounge areas. I live in a very walkable area with a small secluded dog park nearby. I work from home so I’m flexible during the day on weekdays. On average I am available every other weekend.

I have a 35 lb beagle who is very friendly. I prefer to care for small/medium dogs since I live in a townhome.
About: Growing up we’ve always had different kinds of pets. I LOVE THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! I have a dog and will love yours as much as I love mine 🥲Animals are my therapy, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. We laugh together, eat together, sleep together. We’re all one. As an avid pet lover & owner, I’ve seamlessly integrated pets into my daily routine. It involves several key elements. This typically includes feeding your pet, ensuring they have fresh water, engaging in regular exercise or playtime, grooming if necessary, and most importantly providing companionship. Additionally, it's important to consider any specific needs your pet may have, such as medication, training, or socialization. By integrating these tasks, you can ensure your pet's well-being while hanging out with me and my dog! While you’re away. Im also, VERY UNDERSTANDING AND FLEXIBLE. Thank you. 🫶🏻 I approach pet care with the utmost responsibility. Each morning begins with feeding your furry baby & mine, followed by a refreshing walk or some playtime to keep them stimulated and happy. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring they have a comfortable healthy environment throughout the day. Whether it's a quick cuddle during a break or a peaceful evening walk, any pet's needs are always at the forefront of my day, as we’re each other’s companion. Creating a harmonious balance between their specific care and my daily activities. While maintaining open transparent communication.
“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. From taking care of family pets, aiding in neighboring furry friends needs and fostering those looking for homes I have grown quite familiar with what it takes to deliver excellent pet care. I’m currently working part time, without a set schedule. I would be completely available on my days off and in my free time before and after work. I love playing with animals and giving them lots of love. Your pet would never feel alone in my care and I will be sure to give them my 100% attention and priority when in their presence.

About: I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds. I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!! Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs & going to school so it is my full-time job as of right now. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!
“I was so happy to have connected with Ana on short notice - she even came by for a meet & greet with my dog, Rocky, the evening before I needed her. She was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, and flexible to his needs. She was also professional and respectful (with covid precautions). Thanks, Ana!”
“Devin was amazing with our girls. One of them is afraid of everything. She will go up to a stranger and back away when they try to pet her. She immediately took to Devin. She even got on her back for a tummy rub. Devin was extremely punctual. We will definitely use her for all future needs. Thanks, Devin!”
About: I have a great love for dogs, no matter what shape or size. I have grown up living in a household with small to medium dogs and other furry animals. I understand how much pets can affect you in a good way. I have had the privilege of taking care of older dogs, dogs with medication and even a puppy. Recently, in past two years, i have had the opportunity to also care of a cat plus a big beautiful german Shepard. My goal is to ensure and comfort your dog while you are away. I will keep the dog(s) on their regular, training routine to the specific detail you tell me. I do community service part time which is regular in my life. I am willing to have a fixed or flexible schedule for short-term jobs. Not available Sunday mornings or Tuesday nights for meet and greet. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable while at the same time keep your home just as you had left it before your vacation. I had a maltipoo. She was loud when you first meet her but really shy. Also friendly enough to hold on to. She is potty trained and knows some commands. With other dogs she gets a long with them, and she just needs to warm up to them because of shyness. I kept her on dog food not human food and she weighs less than 10 lbs. She would run around and play with the younger dogs but also mellow down with the older dogs.
About: I truly love animals. I am that person that will pull over on a busy road or highway to save an animal or bring a lost animal home until I find the parents. Your fur baby's well-being is my top priority! I've had dogs my entire life and have raised them from puppies to seniors. I trained my puppies with patience, consistency and positive reinforcement and cared for them as seniors with gentleness and compassion. I am not afraid to clean up accidents or messes (I've done it all, lol) and I can administer topical and oral medications. I have also cared for other types of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and rodents should you need care for them as well. Please choose the cat care services for other animals. Please no aggressive or poisonous animals. I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available weekdays from 11am - 10pm and some weekends from 11am - 10pm. Rest assured that while visiting your pet/s at home, I will check that they are well, have water and food (based on their feeding schedule) and that they get plenty of affection. Upon leaving your pet/s, I will make sure they are secure in the home and that any pet messes are cleaned up. I will also send Rover Cards and occasional pictures of our pawsome visits!

I have a small back porch downstairs of my townhouse but I can walk them as needed for potty breaks. I live In the downtown area of San Jose where there are plenty of dog friendly parks to take them. I will never neglect your family member he/she will be cared for as my own. They will be walked and fed and loved on a lot and you can call me anytime and request as many pics as you’d like. I know it’s nerve wracking to leave a family member with someone new so I want you and your dogs and/or cats to feel completely comfortable with me. Thank you. Im a stay at home mom who works from home so my schedule is completely flexible to care for your family member. I can also take last minute bookings. I take care of your pet like they were my own. I let them sleep where they want and take them for walks daily multiple times a day.

About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's personality. Every animal is different, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet at home can be stressful, especially when they take such good care of us. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, playtime, meals, or simply some company, I'll care for your pet with the same attentiveness and thoughtfulness I'd hope someone would show mine. My schedule lends me some flexibility during the week, so daytime visits are usually easy for me to accommodate. I also try not to cram my day full of bookings because I'd rather have the time to give each pet the attention they deserve. I know it takes trust to hand someone your keys and ask them to care for your pet. I'll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated with photos and messages, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going at home.

“Michael and Kris were amazing dog sitters! Our 12 year old mix breed dog (Kelbi) has extreme anxiety and does not do well with strangers. However she immediately fell in love with both of them and was clearly super happy when we picked her up after a one week stay. We are so happy to find Michael and Kris and will definitely use them in the future for boarding Kelbi.”
“Ben did a great job with our dog for the weekend! I knew he was in good hands with Ben’s background, and we came home to a happy puppy. I’ll definitely be booking Ben again. Thank you!”
“Every time Sofiya and her family watch Koda, I know he is in good hands and has the best time. Her updates are timely and include pictures and the fun things he gets up to with the other dogs. I have already rebooked her for my next trip out of town.”
“Thanks to Christopher & his wife for taking care of Yogi this past weekend. Great people! We did meet and greet few days before boarding to get acquainted and it turned out smooth. Their rescued dogs are well behaved when we did the introduction. I can tell that Christopher and his wife really cares for the dogs and professionals. I’d definely board my dog with them when I go out of town/country. Thank you guys!”
“This is our first ever dog care experience and Quang was quickly responsive to my needs for last minutes plans. I have a super high energy GSP and and an elderly Porky. He cared for both needs and they returned home tired and happy. I also had to extend the time for care and he helped make that process very smooth. Thank you Quang! I’ll reach out for the next trip.”
“Ghazal was amazing with Rio! Honestly, I think Rio may have enjoyed his time with her more than he enjoys having us around! She took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made leaving him so much easier. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well spoiled. Would 100% have Ghazal watch him again!”
“Nabil took wonderful care of Raisin for two days. It was Raisin’s first time staying away from home, so we were a little nervous, but Nabil and Sunny made her feel comfortable and safe. She quickly warmed up to them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she was well cared for and treated with kindness. We truly appreciated the updates and the loving care Raisin received. I would highly recommend Nabil to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”
“Parrish was amazing! She provided me with updates and photos to reassure me Loki was doing okay. She was also very friendly and personable so I felt extra comfortable leaving Loki with her. Thank you 🙏”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”

“Our dogs have stayed with John a few times now, and every time has been great! John is wonderful with the dogs. He ensures they get walks, one of our dogs requires medication multiple times a day and John always makes sure she gets her meds, and most of all, our dogs are clearly happy when they stay with him! One of our dogs, Dakota, she is very attached to us and doesn’t always get excited to stay at new or different places, but when she sees us pulling up to John’s house, she hops out of the car and runs to his front door. Highly recommend John!”

“Ezra took great care of our dog, Hayes! We were hesitant to use someone new, especially over the holidays but she gave us the peace of mind we needed. She gave us regular updates about him every day and let us know how he was doing with the other dogs. Hayes had such a great stay and made new friends! We will definitely be booking with Ezra again in the future!”
