“Thank you Minh for taking care our our dog Butter like your very own. Minh is very friendly and communicative. It was like we were leaving our dog with family, nothing to worry about, and we knew he would be in good hands!”
“We just picked up our 10 years old border collie Lucky after a 6 day 5 nights stay. It is a pity the highest rating is only 5 stars, to Lucky, Juanyi's service is 10 stars. My border collie does not like strangers in the beginning, but he allows Juanyi pet him in just a few hours. I could see from many pictures and videoes that my boy enjoys the friendship from Kaka, Panda and other lovely guests, also enjoys the love from Juanyi. I feel my boy is having a great vacation of his own too. I always hesitate to sign up family vacation because find a reliable dog sitter is often a difficult task, the last 3 dog sitter we used were moved or no longer offer service. I am glad we found Juanyi and the experience is so great. I read every review when i look for any kind of service, and by the time we book the service, there was only one review, to be honest i was a bit uncertain. During the met and greet, we walked around the neighborhood together, I was so glad Lucky quickly developped friendship with Kaka and Panda, and the drop off session was also great, which allow me to join the family vacation. We will definitely book with Juanyi again for our future vacations, and recommend to every pet parents, my Lucky was treated like Juanyi's own, yours will too!❤️”
“We recommend a lot Queenie, she’s so kind and adorable! Summer, her dog is also adorable!! Our dog Sierra was so happy with this family, we received a lot of photos and videos every day, that so nice when you are far away from your puppy. She spend a lot of times to play with her and to do walks. Thanks again for everything!!”
“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Leo was so happy to go back, which says everything! They took great care of him with timely updates, regular walks, and lots of playtime. The yard is nice and very dog-friendly, giving the dogs a comfortable space to play. Luna and Reki are super friendly and started playing with Leo right away, which made him feel at ease instantly. We really appreciated the photos and updates — it kept us completely stress-free knowing how his day was going. They were also very attentive to his food routine and followed all our specific instructions. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you for taking such good care of Leo!”
About: I have experience with caring for dogs at every stage from puppy to senior. I've had two dogs (Shih Tzu and Pitbull,) whom I've raised and trained from puppy into senior years and know how to care for small dogs and big dogs. I work from home so I can devote much of my attention to your dog. As long as I am contacted about a service well in advance, I can effectively organize my schedule in a way that will best fit your dog's individual needs. Please let us know ahead of time if your baby has any specific requirements that need to be fit into their routine and feel free to come see if our house is a good fit for you. Since our dogs crossed the rainbow bridge, our house is now prepared and ready for the sound pattering paws and snuffling wet noses once again. We have a legacy of clean toys my dogs have left behind, waiting to be loved again by a new furbaby. The house is safe and pet proof, in an environment free of hazards. I have a dedicated doggie door to a full sized fenced back yard where your dog can run and play to their heart's content. My neighborhood is in a very safe and enclosed cul-de-sac that is further from any busy main roads, making walking worry free.
“Rachel was so accommodating with a last minute boarding request. She went over and beyond to make our shy, anxious, needy dog feel comfortable in his new surroundings. Rachel sent lots of pics and updates so we felt completely reassured of his health and safety! Thank you, Rachel!”
“Jocelyn was a wonderful companion for our dog Norman. He took to her right away and seemed immediately comfortable in her home. He had a spacious yard to explore and a warm sunny porch to nap on. We got regular updates and felt at ease knowing he was well cared for. We will happily reach out to Jocelyn again for sitting services.”
“Everything is ok. Is a very good experience with my dog . She send pictures of my dog all the time . Very good service. Recogió a mi perro a tiempo desde mi casa y lo trajo de vuelta a tiempo . Volveré a contratarla.”
“Sepia was very kind and generous to Bruno. She took great care of him and pampered him. She gave regular updates via messages, photos and videos. We were very happy with her and would highly recommend. Thanks Sepia!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our cat with Zhuoyang! They shared frequent updates and pictures. Our cat came back home very happy. Will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Leah is very friendly and warm. She and her daughter made my pup comfortable with the other small pups who were visiting! Loved the photos she sent throughout the overnight visit!”
“Earnest had a great time staying with Ezra. She kept me updated and he seemed happy, getting lots of attention and playing tons! He was exhausted when he came home, which was great for me!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Thor! From the very start, Kim made us feel completely comfortable. He treated Thor as part of his own husky pack, which was so heartwarming to see. Thor got plenty of exercise, socialization, and care — and I got peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear that Kim truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make them feel at home.”
“This was our second time leaving Maggie with Pissamas. She does an amazing job taking great care of our 13 year old girl. I can see the genuine love she has for dogs and it totally puts my mind at ease while we are gone! Pissamas seems to really pay attention to the little details of what Maggie needs. She even crushed her kibble to make it easier for her to eat with her missing teeth! I could definitely tell Maggie had been loved and well taken care of. Thank you Pissamas!”
About: With a genuine love for animals and more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry family member while you’re away. Whether it’s fun walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my top priority. If you’re planning a weekend getaway, vacation, or need extended overnight care, I offer a cozy home setting where your dog can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for. Your pup will enjoy comfortable bedding, fresh water available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always prioritize safety by ensuring pets are supervised and outdoor spaces are secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Since I work fully from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate different pet sitting needs, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. As long as the schedule and any special instructions are communicated with me ahead of time, I can plan accordingly to make sure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care so they feel relaxed and happy while their owner is away. I also keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“It was a great experience using Ryan. He gave us a ton of updates with photos and videos. Very nice to get our dog experience with his other well tempered dogs. He did a lot of hand feeding and training throughout his stay. Overall 10/10 experience will definitely use him in the future!”
“Super Excellent Home away from home for your fur baby! Our fur baby loves staying with Melissa & Hyun and we are grateful to them for giving our fur baby the best care and love while she stays with them. 🫶”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Megha! They took amazing care of him and made sure he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. We really appreciated the regular updates about everything — his walks, sleep, how he was doing, and how well he was settling into their space. Their whole family was so kind and caring, and it was clear that our dog was treated like part of their family. They were also very responsive, flexible, and accommodating with our schedule, which made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their dog. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with them again!”

“Catherine took such good care of our two bunnies while we were on vacation! This was my first time using Rover, and she helped make the process super easy. She was so patient and kind (even when the bunnies made a big mess!) She also provided thorough updates, lots of photos, and sweet notes that we really appreciated. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much Catherine!”
“Great cat sitter took the time to try and get to know my cat even though he’s shy. Followed all my instructions and provided details updates with pictures!”
“Lynn was great, and we would definitely ask for her again. She was on time, kept us up-to-date with descriptions and pictures/videos, and it didn't even look like anyone had been in our house. Best of all, our cats were happy.”
“Joleen is such a sweet human and pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for the animals she watches over. She swept up litter and cleaned out Jack’s wet food dish everyday! She played with Jack and was respectful in our home! Jack can throw a fit and poop outside his box when we leave and she was so sweet in taking care of his temper tantrums! She was thoughtful enough to bring in our Amazon packages as well! Defintiely would rebook with Joleen”
“The best caretaker i’ve ever had ! Shiqi sends daily updates with pictures and videos, asks questions if she has any concerns and gives any updates if needed. she communicates very well and very quickly ! Shiqi made sure to make my cat as comfortable as possible and made sure my cat was loved ! Shiqi loves animals and you can definitely tell by how she treats/ takes care of them. She was a wonderful host and even allowed me to squeeze in last minute, i wish i had found her sooner !! I will most definitely be rebooking whenever i need to leave town again.”
“Kaylee was amazing. She made my trip so much easier, knowing my fur babies were take care of… not just fed and watered… but also loved on and played with. I highly recommend Kaylee as a pet sitter!”
“We love Christina!! I no longer have a count of the number of times I have had Christina watch my cats for me. The truth is, when she agrees to take care of your cats, not only does she love on them and take excellent care of all their needs, she takes care of your house, that too, just as you need it! She takes excellent notes, and is super intuitive about some of the instructions I sometimes miss. She ensures, with perfection, that my family and I have a relaxed vacation and come back to happy cats and a CLEAN clean home!!!”
“Ariana is professional, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond. Her Rover cards were super thorough and transparent. She took such care of my baby - you can tell she is a true cat whisperer by how quickly my baby began to trust her. I will definitely be requesting her top notch services again in the future.”
About: I have housesat overnight for two kittens for about two weeks. One of them got stuck in a sticky fly trap and freaked out and ran around everywhere while pooping itself. When it finally gave up on running and came to me for help, I gave it a bath and swaddled it and cleaned up the destruction. It was an enlightening experience.
“Olivia took fantastic care of our two kitties, and we can't recommend her highly enough! She gave us detailed reports for each visit and took many photos that reassured us all was well! She followed our care instructions perfectly, and our cats warmed up to her quickly (at least as much as they can to anyone!!). We will definitely be booking Olivia for our next trip!”
“Aivy was an amazing cat sitter who stood up to the plate with all my crazy detailed instructions and even took additional time to repair the litter robot when it malfunctioned. I appreciated her super fast communication too. My funny cats warmed up to her immediately. Aivy is now officially on my list of the trusted cat sitters who I will for sure hire in the future when needed.”
About: I’ve cared for cats for years, both indoor and outdoor! I know every cat has their own personality; some wanting to be in your lap immediately while others need a few days to warm up. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I’m comfortable with all kinds of medication and will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your cat gets exactly what they need. I know the importance of routine- feeding times, play sessions, and quiet evenings all matter. I’m based in East San Jose but happy to travel further. Whether it’s daily check-ins or an overnight stay, your cat will get calm, attentive care while you’re away.
“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”
About: For most of my High School education I had watched The Dog Whisperer religiously, which helped to ingrain my love for animals especially towards canines. I slowly began to pursue fields in which I could help surround myself with animals and careers pertaining to animals. I started after high school and became a volunteer at the San Jose Animal Care Services located on Monterey Rd. in San José. I was working on the side while going to school as I volunteered to help compensate the volunteer hours. As a designated dog walker I was introduced to small toy dogs down to 4 pounds up to larger breeds ranging upwards of 100 pounds. I am located in a single-family residence in a suburban enclave in Evergreen. We have a fenced backyard with lots of space to stretch out and enjoy the outdoors. The local elementary school is a 5-minute walk away, featuring its own walking trail and a fenced grass area. Animal care is my second nature. I can understand body signs and cues when it comes to how an animal is feeling and the best way to approach them. I've held up against big dogs all the way down to the little ones. Each animal is unique. The most important thing is love and respect.
“Mary took such good care of our bunnies while we were out of town! She sent lots of cute photos and nice updates each day. We really appreciate her help, and hope to book with her again for our next vacation!”
About: I fully understand that when I’m caring for your cat, I am not “in charge”: I am simply staff. I have experience with single cats and multi-cat households, and I’m very attentive to everyone’s routines, territories, and personal opinions (especially the strong ones). I respect boundaries, never force attention, and allow cats to decide if I’m worthy of interaction that day. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring appetite and behavior, and yes, I take litter box cleaning very seriously. Deep cleans, odor control, and maintaining a fresh royal restroom is always part of my service.

About: Hi! My name is Yanira, and I’m a caring, responsible, and loving pet caregiver with a true passion for animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love. I am committed to creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your dog can feel happy and secure while you are away. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I am dependable, attentive to instructions, and dedicated to giving each pet personalized care based on their needs and personality. Your dog’s well-being, safety, and happiness will always be my priority. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve. 🐾💕 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, organized, and committed to giving each pet the care and love they deserve. A typical day with pets would include feeding them on schedule, going for walks, playtime, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also enjoy keeping pets active and happy with fun activities, regular potty breaks, and quiet time to relax. I always pay close attention to their needs and routines to make sure they are well cared for and loved.
“We are so happy we had Ezra to take care of our puppy! She is very kind, experienced, and great at communicating. She sent us updates throughout the day and assured us our pup was in great hands. We highly recommend Ezra and definitely look forward to working with her again!”
“Diem took great care of my dog—very kind, genuine, and clearly someone who really loves dogs. She has a secure fenced setup (including the front/driveway area), which made me feel comfortable right away. She showed my dog a lot of love and even took the time to ask about what she could eat because she wanted to give her something extra, which I really appreciated. By the end, my dog felt completely at home. Honestly, I think my dog was a little sad to leave… and I can’t say I blame her. Would definitely book again.”
“Feng made our shy pup Toby feel comfortable right away! She gave him lots of cuddles and treats, making him feel right at home. I will book again with Feng in the future!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute and Tracy & Vincent stepped up. Upon first impressions they are nice and easy going. My dog, Kiki, was nervous when I dropped her off as any dog would be when in an unfamiliar environment, but when I picked her up, she seemed happy and calm. Tracy and Vincent did exactly as I asked and even sent me some photos to update. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Our dog is a bit hyper one and Jacqueline made him comfortable in no time. I got updates throughout the days and Ollie seems happy. Will definitely book again for future needs. Highly recommended.”
“Melissa and Tommy took wonderful care of my pups. They made me feel at ease with updates and photos throughout the day. Appreciate them for taking such good care of my dogs and accommodating my schedule. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so happy I found Alicia. To be honest, I haven’t had a great experience with past experiences on Rover. Finding someone/place to board our fur babies has been such a journey. We hardly ever board them, but when I do-I start to have anxiety. We haven’t gone on a family vacation for over a year, because we didn’t have anyone we trust in caring for them. They both just have specific needs, and Alicia has been very attentive and understanding to that. I love that she provides structured care for them. We boarded them for a day and she sent me updates and pictures of them as the day went on. Thankfully, all went well! This gave me hope and eased my worries about boarding them in the future. Thank you, Alicia!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay-cation :) I felt confident with the care and love he received and would definitely like to have Charlie stay again. He cried for Christopher when we drove away which I found really endearing. Thank you!”
“Soojin was fantastic with my Suki girl for daycare! She sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, answered all of my questions, and made drop-off and pick-up incredibly easy. I felt completely at ease knowing Suki was in such great hands. My pup came home happy, tired, and content, which is always the best sign. I’m so grateful to have found Soojin and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you, Soojin!”
“Sepia took such good care of Mango. She is very attentive and gives him the attention that he wants being a clingy baby that he is. She sent us regular updates and is very mindful of Mango’s restricted diet due to his sensitivity tummy. Thank you Sepia!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs since they were puppies, including feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing daily attention and exercise. Through my Veterinary Assistant (VA) course, I also gained foundational knowledge in animal handling, safety, hygiene, and pet wellness. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits comfortably into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time caring for my own dogs every day. I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making time for pet care feels very natural to me. At home, I care for my own dogs with daily walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to keep them happy and healthy. For clients, I would provide the same level of care and attention through walks and daycare. I aim to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines, patience, and supervision are when caring for someone else’s pet.
About: I’ve always had dogs around, and we adopted Annie, our latest furry friend, four years ago. I treat my dogs like my babies, and spend a lot of time playing with them and making sure they are looking pretty at all times! I work from home, so I’m free to care for your dogs during the week. Weekend availability might be a bit spotty. I only leave the dogs alone when I’m heading to the gym (about an hour), but otherwise I always bring them along, even to restaurants! Please provide food, treats, a food bowl, and a dog carrier (it’s super important!). I have plenty of toys :) I live in a townhouse, I don’t have a yard but I take the dogs out for pee breaks every 3-4 hours and 2 20min walks (morning and evening). I have puppy gates in the house to confine them to the 1st floor if we step out, and a crate (if needed). I also have a camera on that floor to monitor the dogs!
About: After a few years away working as an engineer, I’ve realized my true passion isn’t in front of a computer, it’s with dogs! I was a top-rated, 5-star sitter in Fremont back in 2016-2017 with 38 repeat clients, and I am so excited to officially reopen my doors to the furry community. With over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, I provide a "home away from home" where your pup is treated like family. Meet the Resident Pack I am a proud "dog mom" to two friendly pups who love making new friends: • Kaka: My sweet 11-year-old rescue poodle mix (13 lbs). He has a crippled leg, so I am very experienced in caring for seniors or dogs with special physical needs. • Panda: My energetic 4-year-old Bernedoodle. He’s a "pandemic puppy" who is well-socialized and ready to play! The "Five-Star" Backyard & Home Your dog will have the ultimate vacation in our 4,000 square foot home. We have plenty of indoor space for lounging and a large, fully fenced backyard for fresh air and supervised playtime. Personalized Care & Activity • Constant Supervision: I work remotely, meaning someone is almost always home to provide cuddles, bathroom breaks, and attention. • Active Lifestyle: We love staying active! Your pup will enjoy frequent walks and plenty of engagement. • Safety First: Because of my engineering background, I am detail-oriented and highly organized when it comes to feeding schedules and safety protocols. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them a fun, safe, and loving stay! Our routine is highly flexible! Whether your pup is a high-energy "pandemic dog" like my Panda or a senior who needs a gentler pace like my 13lb rescue, Kaka, I easily adjust walk lengths and play styles to match their specific energy and physical abilities. A Day in the Life at Our Home Because we work a hybrid schedule, pet care is seamlessly integrated into our day. Your dog will never be just a "task"—they are part of the family. • 8:30 AM | Morning Adventure: We kick off the day with a morning walk, followed by a nutritious brunch. • Mid-Day | Garden Play: Around noon, I provide supervised "yard breaks" in our large, fenced backyard for fresh air and sniffing. • Late Afternoon | Neighborhood Stroll: We head out for a second neighborhood walk, followed by dinner service. • Evening | Last Call: Before bedtime, we have one final backyard break to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable. Total Freedom: Your dog has the run of the house! They are welcome in any of the 4,000 sq. ft. of indoor space. Whether they want to sunbathe by a window or snooze near my desk while I work, they will have plenty of room to feel at home. Safety-First, Premium Care Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute priorities. I provide a secure, high-standard environment designed for total peace of mind. • Supervised Freedom: Your dog has full access to our 4,000 sq. ft. home and a large, securely fenced backyard. I personally supervise all outdoor time to ensure every guest is safe and happy. • Proactive Security: For added protection, I have security cameras monitoring the property and dog gates that can be installed as needed to create separate, safe zones for different energy levels. • Constant Companionship: Because we work a hybrid schedule, there is almost always an adult present. This allows for frequent check-ins, bathroom breaks, and 24/7 attention. • Disciplined Care: I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and specific care instructions. Whether it's managing a senior dog’s mobility (like my rescue, Kaka) or a high-energy pup’s needs, I follow your instructions to the letter.
“I want to give a huge thank you to Bruno and his fiancée for taking such amazing care of my husky, Nova, especially on such short notice! From the moment I reached out, Bruno’s communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. He asked about Nova’s allergies, schedule, and any personal preferences to make sure she’d feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Within the first hour, I received pictures and a video of Nova walking and playing happily with their sweet pup, Jojo. Throughout the day, Bruno continued to send updates, pictures, and videos, in total, I received 15 photos and 4 videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Nova was not only being watched, but truly cared for. They even gave her snacks and a fun new topping on her food to make her feel extra special. On top of that, Bruno made sure to update Nova’s Rover report with a detailed summary: two long walks, potty breaks, food and water intake, every detail was covered. To top it all off, at the end of the visit, Nova went home with a goody bag and so much love. It genuinely felt like she had a mini vacation of her own. 💛 If you’re looking for responsible, loving, and attentive care for your furry friend, I can’t recommend Bruno and his fiancé enough. They treat your pup like family and make the whole experience stress-free and joyful. I will absolutely bring Nova back again, this is the kind of care every fur friend deserves!”

About: I’ve owned two dogs since they were puppies who now 12 and 11. The older one is still very sort and incredibly clever. The younger I’m pretty sure is just a cat pretending to be a dog. I also have experience watching larger dogs that belonged to family members as well. I have also house sat cats and kittens for extended period of time. Currently, I work full time. I let my dogs out in the morning and they guard the house while I’m away. Once I get home, they get their cuddles and walks (usually about a mile). On the weekends we try to go to our relatives to let them play in the backyard together. I don’t tend to have others’ pets in my home because my dogs do not like to share their space. However, when I’m at others’ homes, I follow instructions that are left behind to the T. I always reach out if I need clarification or have any questions.

About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! My neighbors and clients have relied on me to watch their fur babies (and homes) as if they were my own! And I have loved every minute! I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to fill! I also do not travel much so holidays I am around ! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your pup company! I can also crate your pup if needed! Can’t wait to meet your babies! Bring on the barn animals too! Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Bunnies, house birds of all sizes!
About: I have pet training experience. Im training my own dog. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience, supporting early puppy training, and helping pets build good habits through positive, consistent routine. I treat every pet like family with genuine love. I am working from home. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day and play time. My work schedule is flexible and I live near a park to take your dog for a nice walk. I also have longlines so your dog would have the freedom to explore at the park with control and safety. Pets staying with me enjoy a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of fresh air. My own playful, well‑mannered dog makes a great built‑in buddy for social dogs who enjoy company. I always supervise play to make sure everyone feels safe and has a positive experience. Inside the home, pets have a calm, clean space to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, and exercise routines closely so their stay feels familiar and stress‑free. Whether a dog needs active playtime, quiet cuddles, or a mix of both, I adjust my care to match their personality and comfort level.
About: Hello! I recently lost my 14 yr old dachshund and 14 yr old shih tzu and am taking a step to share my time and space with new fur friends! Currently working from home 2-3 days per week and changes weekly. Open to coordinating schedules to align to what’s best for you and your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals in or around us. I had my 2 dogs for 14 years and am comfortable with most anything your pet will need. Medicine, exercise, crating
“Savannah is great with Goose. She is also excellent at communicating. We appreciate her help with walking Goose while we were away. We hope we can book with Savannah again in the future.”
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.
“Shawna took Penelope and Drexl on an hour walk to tire them out before people arrived at our house for dinner. She did a fantastic job and it worked! They loved the walk and they were nice and sleepy and mellow all evening. I would definitely hire her again. She was really good with excitable Penelope and shy Drexl.”
About: It’s great to provide dog and cat sitting with people who have trust in me! I reciprocate on the pets’ energies, from docile to energetic. I have two dogs of my own that receive a lot of attention and care. I currently have summer availability to provide all-day attentive care, meaning that I can offer specific medical care if needed, frequent walks or dog park visits, and lots of cuddles! Based on your needs, I do well with following the consistent routines, as well as offering daily photo and written updates for assurance of the pet’s well-being.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet person in my circle for years! Friends, family, and neighbors call me when they need someone reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to hang out with their pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnights, or keeping up with detailed routines, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of attention and emotional awareness I bring. As an empath, I don’t just “watch” pets, I learn their personalities. Are they high-energy zoomie champions? Velcro dogs? Secret snack negotiators? I adjust my care style to fit *them* so they stay happy and stress-free. I have experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and patience (potty training, leash manners, crate routines), as well as senior dogs who deserve a slower pace, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m also very comfortable with anxious or shy pets and use calm, positive approaches to build trust at their speed. My goal is simple: happy pets, lots of tail wags, and owners who can relax knowing their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Plus, you’ll always get photo updates because I know being away is the hardest part :) My schedule is thoughtfully balanced between two of my personal businesses—pet care and swim instruction. I’m a professional swim instructor during parts of the day, which means I may be in the water or teaching lessons for a few hours at a time, depending on the day of the week. Because of this, I build my pet care schedule very intentionally to make sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, exercise, and quality time. Pet care isn’t just something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my work and something I genuinely care about. Balancing both businesses allows me to stay active, responsible, and fully present in the care I provide. My care style really comes down to one thing: keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine, just with me stepping in as their temporary human. In a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, play routines, and any “house rules” your pet knows (or thinks they can bend). I keep things clean, calm, and secure so your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. If pets are staying in my home, they get a cozy, supervised environment with lots of attention, exercise, and downtime based on their energy level. I make sure introductions, rest spaces, and routines are handled thoughtfully so everyone feels comfortable. I'll most likely end up snuggling your pet too! :)
“Son was great! His response time is awesome, was available for a meet and greet last minute. Sent amazing pictures and videos! Gave lots of updates. Will definitely use Son again for future help!”
About: Hi! I'm Bailey, and I've always loved being around dogs. I know a lot about dogs and their breeds, so I will make sure each walk is specfic to their personality, energy level, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new smells, or just getting outside for some fresh air, I'll make sure they have a fun and safe time! I also worked at a dog grooming salon as a receptionist, where I spent my days around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I helped make sure pets felt comfortable and welcomed while communicating with owners about their pets' needs. This experience taught me how important patience, attention to detail, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. As someone who has been involved in competitive swimming and coaching, I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, which makes dog walking a perfect fit for me. I love taking dogs on longer walks in areas they're familiar with and comfortable in while making sure they're getting plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, confident, and happy while they're in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!

Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their beloved pets because they know I treat every animal like family.

I have a routine I stick to with my pets, so you can trust I will stick to yours word-by-word! I have 3 rescue animals, one cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs was a rescued lab beagle, and I know exactly how to work around his quirks! My other dog is deaf- so I do have experience waking him up gently!

I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention. 👉 Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and cared for while you’re away.

“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”
“Leo was so happy to go back, which says everything! They took great care of him with timely updates, regular walks, and lots of playtime. The yard is nice and very dog-friendly, giving the dogs a comfortable space to play. Luna and Reki are super friendly and started playing with Leo right away, which made him feel at ease instantly. We really appreciated the photos and updates — it kept us completely stress-free knowing how his day was going. They were also very attentive to his food routine and followed all our specific instructions. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you for taking such good care of Leo!”
About: I have experience with caring for dogs at every stage from puppy to senior. I've had two dogs (Shih Tzu and Pitbull,) whom I've raised and trained from puppy into senior years and know how to care for small dogs and big dogs. I work from home so I can devote much of my attention to your dog. As long as I am contacted about a service well in advance, I can effectively organize my schedule in a way that will best fit your dog's individual needs. Please let us know ahead of time if your baby has any specific requirements that need to be fit into their routine and feel free to come see if our house is a good fit for you. Since our dogs crossed the rainbow bridge, our house is now prepared and ready for the sound pattering paws and snuffling wet noses once again. We have a legacy of clean toys my dogs have left behind, waiting to be loved again by a new furbaby. The house is safe and pet proof, in an environment free of hazards. I have a dedicated doggie door to a full sized fenced back yard where your dog can run and play to their heart's content. My neighborhood is in a very safe and enclosed cul-de-sac that is further from any busy main roads, making walking worry free.

He treated Thor as part of his own husky pack, which was so heartwarming to see. Thor got plenty of exercise, socialization, and care — and I got peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear that Kim truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make them feel at home.”

“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.”
