“Hey, Leah took good care of my coco like her own pet. Received pictures and sometimes videos everyday. I would keep coco with her in future and also recommend her to my friends for sure.”
“Yan took really good care of our cat. She was able to do pick up and drop off, and was flexible with the timings. I really appreciate that she sent daily updates and photos, which allowed us to have peace of mind while we were away. Will book again!”
“Aleksei and Galina were great sitters for my cockapoo. My dog has some separation anxiety but quickly felt right at home with them. They sent me a summary of how everyday went—usually with lots of walks and cuddles. Would definitely book to watch my dog in the future!”
“Boris and Olga were amazing dog-sitters. They sent me continuous updates and pictures. My dog looked really happy and calm in all. I highly recommend them.”
“Li-Ting was such an amazing sitter for our dogs. She not only makes sure to send frequent updates and pictures, but also will spoil your dogs in the best way! Our boys got to try so many different toys and treats and a hike on the weekend to boot! I would absolutely leave our dogs in Li-Ting's care again and I'm sure they can't wait to go back!”
“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.”
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”
“Soyoung is so incredibly kind. She genuinely cares about my dog, his needs, and his comfort so much. I would leave my baby with her anytime and feel 100% confident that he is in great hands. Highly, highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“i’ve left my dog hodu with ahiram a few times now and have had a great experience each time! hodu is always so excited to see her and her regular updates let me know he’s having a great time. i will definitely continue working with ahiram in the future!”
“Rachel and Cory were great with our pup! They stuck to our routine, walked him daily and with lots of play and cuddles. Received daily updates of what all they were up to complete with lots of pictures. Will definitely be using them any time we go out of town!”
“Gimli's stay with Olga was great! Olga made sure everything was ready to go when we arrived, and was punctual with consistent updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Olga to others looking for a dog sitter for extended time away!”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing. We boarded our two cats with him, and they're normally very shy and a little anxious, but they took to him in no time. His communication was excellent, and we loved getting so many pictures and updates about the great time our cats were having with him. Highly recommend, Matthew! We will definitely be reaching back out in the future for more stays!”
“Sangeeta was just great with our little Leo! She was in touch with photos and kept us posted with the daily routine. Leo can be a picky eater sometimes especially when away from home but Sangeeta went above and beyond to make sure he was fed and tried all the different ways to do that! Im sure we will be leaving our Leo with her in the future. Thanks Sangeeta!”
“Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“I am very happy with how Turki & Madeline took care of my puppy (Archie) during an overnight stay. They were communicative and proactive. When Archie ran out of food, they informed me and went out of their way to get him more. I loved all the pictures and updates they sent. It had me feeling confident that Archie was happy and well taken care of. If only we lived in California, I would definitely book with them again.”
“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”

“Mary is absolutely incredible. She kept me updated, played with my cat, and my cat was literally slow blinking at her in the Live Photos she sent me (which cats do as an expression of affection). She is a huge animal lover and I would trust her with your pet 11/10 times. I think my cat is going to miss her more than me at this point. Ha!”
“Thank you again Jennifer! Couldn't ask for better care for our crew while we were away. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend when you want someone to care as much as you do. Thanks again!”
“Can’t thank Gabriela enough for staying with my cat Luci for the weekend. This is the first time I ever had to be away from my cat Luci for more than a few hours. I had to make a last minute plan, and reached out to cat sitters around my area via Rover. Gabriela was quick to reach out and scheduled a meet and greet. She understood the feeding instructions and other details about my cat’s routine and assured me of proper care. Throughout the duration of my trip, Gabriela was very responsive and provided me with constant updates and pictures of Luci. When o reached home, Gabriela had left the house tidy and clean, but the best part was that my cat was content and I felt like I never left the house. Would highly recommend Gabriela for her great communication and pet care.”
“We had a great experience with Hsuan-Chu. She took such good care of our cats and really spent time playing with them, which they loved. Clove is usually pretty shy and nervous around new people, but she actually felt comfortable with Hsuan-Chu and even warmed up to her, which meant a lot to us. Cumin also enjoyed spending time with her and clearly had a great time playing. Communication was easy, we always got thoughtful updates, and we could tell they were both happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“My husband and I needed somebody to check in on our cats on short notice, and we are glad Li was able help! She took care to leave thorough updates for each visit and was able to give Joey his medication. We would hire Li again to watch our cats.”
“Qianwen took great care of my cat for two days. My cat is usually very shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, so I was really surprised and happy to see her playing with Qianwen on the first day. Qianwen also cleaned the litter box and sent thoughtful photo updates. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Xi is a professional sitter. She is responsible, detailed, flexible, and very responsive. She would take a lot of photos of the cat and makes me feel less worried when I’m having Maomao staying at home. She also offered to help me water my plans which is very helpful and I am very grateful for that. I would definitely hire her again next time.”
“Suzanne did drop in visits for our kitty while we were out of town, and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive during the meet and greet and clearly connected with our cat during the first introduction. Our cat was immediately at ease and comfortable with her. During the drop-ins, she showed up at the time scheduled, followed our feeding and litter box instructions to a T and sent cute photos and left great notes in the app. She also brought in a package for us, which we appreciate so much! She spent the full time that we scheduled with our cat, which we appreciated immensely. Also, this was my first time using Rover, and Suzanne really helped me through the process even when I didn’t know how to schedule multiple days and then didn’t realize I had to confirm the booking. Suzanne was patient and coached me through it. I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is reliable, personable, clearly has a way with animals and is so good with cats!”
“Soyoung looked after my cat for 10 days and she was wonderful! She was so patient and spent plenty of time playing with my cat to keep her entertained. I really appreciated that she even helped vacuum the litter around the box, keeping the house nice and tidy. She even went the extra mile by helping me bring in a package while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend Soyoung and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 9 years old, and what started as a love for animals has grown into a lifelong passion and career. Over the years, I’ve worked in boarding kennels, dog daycare, and professional training, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Today, I own my own dog training business, where I help families build stronger relationships with their dogs through personalized training and care. I also train and compete with my own dogs in dog sports and working activities, which allows me to continually expand my knowledge and understanding of canine behavior. Whether I’m training, boarding, or simply spending time with dogs, my goal is always to provide a safe, structured, and enriching environment where they can thrive. I truly enjoy building connections with every dog I meet and treat each one as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your pup the same level of care, attention, and love that I’d want for my own dogs. Pet care will always fit into my weekly routine because I am a dog trainer and I do sports and competitions with my dogs. Dogs and pets in general are a big part of my life and always will be. Pet safety is very important to me, those are our children. I will always take a farther step to making sure safety is secured in all boundaries in my home and clients home.
“Momo was having a good buddy playtime with two other cats, Afu and Sonia. They took sometime to mingle but eventually Momo felt so comfortable and relaxed like home. Yiping was also sending 3-6 pictures everyday so to assure me. It was great to see how Momo was adapting and spending time with other kids. Thank you.”
About: I adopted my kitten, Sailor, 8 months ago, and he's inspired me to spend even more time with cats! I volunteer at an animal shelter, where I've cared for pets with all kinds of personalities. I'll tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away.
“Carissa was great with my two cats, Cheez and Quincy. I already booked her again for another vacation. It was my first time using Rover, and Carissa took the time to meet me and my cats and explain the process and what I should expect. She did the drop-in visits around the same time, so their routine was not disrupted too much. Carissa gave me detailed updates for each visit, including plenty of pictures. I’m so glad I found Carissa and can worry less when we go away.”
“Keilah was such a great sitter. She was very quick to respond, very accommodating, and spent plenty of time making sure the pups were entertained while she dropped in for the hour. Definitely would book again!”
“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm new to professional pet sitting, but I've grown up around cats and other animals my whole life. Taking care of pets has always just been a normal part of my day-to-day routine, and I truly enjoy being around them. I currently have a 1.5-year-old cat of my own, so I'm very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and all the little quirks that make cats unique. Living with my own cat also reminds me how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you're away - and that's something I don't take lightly. While I don't yet have experience with senior or special-needs cats, I'm attentive, patient, and happy to carefully follow any instructions you provide to keep your cat comfortable and stress-free. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, l'll respect their personality and space. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your cat.

“Brian and Emi helped Mochi felt comfortable by playing with him since it was his first time there. Teddy is adorable and is nice to share all his toys, especially his glow in the dark ball. He was sleeping in a car on our way home. Must be be tired from a fun day. 😊”
“If you're looking for a dog sitter who treats your pet like their own, look no further than Jie. She is my absolute hero when I'm on vacation. What stands out most is her genuine patience and thoughtful approach to my dog's needs. Her dog and mine are the best of friends, and it's clear they have so much fun together. She doesn't just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; she makes sure to dedicate time every single day to playing with him, which I know he loves. On top of all that, she sometimes cooks special food for Joey, which is a testament to her dedication. I am so grateful to have found someone so kind and caring to look after my doggy”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life.

I’m patient with energetic puppies, attentive to routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need a calmer pace and extra care. What sets me apart is the attention I give each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest.

“I am so grateful to have found Soyoung through Rover! My 8-month old puppy, Archie, had a great time with her at doggy day care while I was in town for work. He had fun playing, going for walks, and zooming up and down her stairs. I loved getting his daily report cards, and he was absolutely exhausted and calm by the time we got back to the hotel in the evenings. I'm thrilled that I can take him with me for work travel because we now have a trusted sitter to rely on. I'm looking forward to future trips to the SCV area so we can book with Soyoung again.”
“Emma took wonderful care of Pepper while we were away! She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely trust Emma with Pepper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and Anlin was responsive and more than happy to watch Dexter the next day. The whole process was smooth. Anlin and family are really nice and take awesome care of your pet. They checked in with photos throughout the day to let you know how your pet is doing. Would recommend for anyone who needs dog care.”
“Natalia is a wonderful pupp-sitter for my 7-month old Portuguese Water Dog. She has taken Betty every Saturday of this month as I have a heavy work-load those days. She is great about blending my pup into her routine, taking her to the park with her older German Shepherd, Hershey, who Betty adores. Natalia is a kind, loving person who Betty gets very excited to see every Saturday ! Bet comes home happy and ready to sleep, need I say more...I highly recommend Natalia as she is so skilled and loving towards dogs!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for many years and have two sweet cats at home. I love helping pets feel happy and secure—whether it’s visiting cats for feeding and play, or taking dogs on safe, relaxed walks that fit their needs. I’m a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit or walk pets throughout the week. I drive and can easily accommodate different times for feedings, walks, or drop-in visits based on your pet’s needs. I’m very patient and detail-oriented when it comes to caring for pets. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure safety and comfort. I can drive to your home for visits, make sure everything is clean and secure, and give your pets calm, reliable care while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. So being around animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I truly enjoy their company and the unique personality each one brings. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient with energetic puppies, attentive to routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need a calmer pace and extra care. What sets me apart is the attention I give each pet. I take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and daily routine so they feel relaxed and safe. Whether that means active walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to what makes each dog happiest. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I know how important it is to be attentive, observant of their behavior, and communicative with owners so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved, while giving you peace of mind through attentive care and regular updates. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my priority. When they’re with me, you can expect: Attentive care: I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and routines so pets feel safe and understood. Playtime & exercise: Walks and interaction tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level. Patience & calm care: Gentle with senior dogs and patient with younger or more energetic pups. Reliable communication: Regular photo and message updates so you know how your pet is doing. Loving companionship: I truly enjoy animals’ company and treat every pet like family. Why pet owners trust me As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is responsible, observant, and caring. Always do my best to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved.

“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”

“Gimli's stay with Olga was great! Olga made sure everything was ready to go when we arrived, and was punctual with consistent updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Olga to others looking for a dog sitter for extended time away!”

Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”

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.
“Julia is absolutely amazing! We have left our dog Mia with her a few times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Julia is always quick to respond, keeps us updated throughout the stay, and sends plenty of photos and videos. She lets us know how much Mia ate, drank, how her walks went, and even shares updates about her mood and behavior, which gives us so much peace of mind. The best part is that Mia absolutely adores Julia. Every time she stays with her, it feels less like dog sitting and more like she’s going on a little vacation of her own! 🐶❤️ We are so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and loving. We highly recommend Julia and will definitely continue booking with her in the future.”
“I highly recommend this dog sitter! They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. They also have a fantastic space for dogs; my pup was in absolutely great spirits when I picked them up. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We are so grateful for Nadia! She took care of our 2 pups for 8 days and was absolutely wonderful. From the start, she was so pleasant, attentive, and clearly loved our dogs as if they were her own. She went above and beyond—sending us consistent updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups got lots of love and extra attention, and honestly, they still miss her! It’s rare to find someone so dependable and caring, and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter who truly connects with pets. Thank you, Nadia!”
“Highly recommend! Qi was fantastic with my dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel so much better while I was away. They clearly love animals and took great care of everything. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Carole and Terry were great with our boxer Fig! They were very communicative and handled his leash reactivity and anxious non-eating really well. We're definitely booking a longer stay with them in the near future, and will feel much better about leaving our pup with familiar faces!”

“Coco had a wonderful time with Jie! I appreciated Jie's quick response for a last minute boarding request, she shared adorable photos and videos throughout the stay, and was caring and loving with Coco. With multiple walks during the day, a soft banana couch Coco loved. and lots of snuggles -- Coco had a fantastic Saturday with her.”
