“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about leaving our dog Jack with someone new—but Stasha was amazing! She went above and beyond, treating Jack with so much kindness and patience, especially since he’s an older pup. She took him on walks, gave him plenty of time to relax and soak up the sun, and communicated with us every step of the way. We really appreciated her transparency and how she always checked in before trying new activities with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“Bryanna understands dogs and dog behavior, is so professional, and trust worthy. I was very nervous leaving my dog with someone new but it was amazing. Was provided updates throughout the day, will definitely rebook again.”
“Could not be more happy with her services. I have never been away from my dog more than a few days. But I was traveling oversea and was very worried about leaving my little guy in a kennel for that long. A friend suggested I find a dog sitter. I found that Kimberly not only had many positive reviews, but also had a lot of returning clients. From now on I will be one of those clients. My dog gets a little bit of an upset stomach now and then and the vet said he needs to take a pro-biotic once a day. Kimberly not only did this, she updated me daily about him and sent pictures. He was so happy playing around with her own dog. My dog might as well have been her own. Thank you, SO much!!”
“The best Rover sitter! J D truly loves dogs, and it’s a great feeling to know we’re leaving our dog with someone who cares about their well-being. J D took care of our senior dog Nemo, with lots of warmth and affection. When we picked him he didn’t seem anxious to leave, he was so relaxed. J D was also flexible and accommodating with our scheduling needs, he’s professional and reliable all around.”
“Brian was incredible taking care of my anxious little Velcro dog. He sent me thoughtful updates about his well being and I could tell he was well taken care of when I picked him up. My dog needed a calm caring environment and that’s exactly what Brian offered. Highly recommend his services 😊”
“Our 6 month old puppy was well taken care of by Wendy and her mom. It was great to receive daily pics of our pup while we were on our vacation. We’ll be bringing our pup back next time. Thanks for taking great care of our pup, Wendy and Mom!”
“Mateo and his family took such good care of my Daisy for almost a week in their lovely, quiet home in the hills. I got a picture or a video (or both!) every day, with a little reassuring note that was much appreciated!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care Rikiya provided for our beloved Simba while we were away. From the very beginning, his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals were evident. He treated Simba as if he were his own, giving him so much attention, care, and affection. What truly set him apart was the constant communication—sending thoughtful updates, pictures, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and reassured us that Simba was happy, safe, and well loved. Coming home to a relaxed and joyful pet meant everything to us. We trust him wholeheartedly and will absolutely be leaving Simba with him again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pet.Thank you so much Rikiya ⭐️”
“Maverick loves staying here! They do a great job taking care of our needy pup and their dog scout is quickly becoming his best friend! They are always our first choice for watching our dog!”
“Tracey is amazing! Our pup can be a bit anxious and we know Tracey and her husband will take great care of her. Tracey kept us updated the entire time. She exceeded expectations. I felt very comfortable leaving her there. Will definitely book again.”
“Elizabeth and Coco were so welcoming to Rocky. I appreciate Elizabeth's flexibility in watching Rocky while I attended a wedding nearby. She was in regular communication about how Rocky adjusted, and sent pics of her cuddling with both dogs. She took great care of my little guy. She lives in a beautiful beach home.”
“My fur ladies had an absolute blast at their overnight stay! The backyard area had so much room to roam. Joyce offered great tips to help advance the little Ninas manners- especially at bedtime. Great home environment with a chill vibe.”

“Samantha took great care of our kitties and was extremely professional, caring, and responsive. This was our first booking with Samantha and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a drop-in visit. Thank you again Samantha!”
“Thank you once again to Rebeca for the excellent care she provided. This was my second booking with her. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust caring for my cats when I’m away.”
“Terra was great. She understood my cat needed space while I was away and adhered to all of my requests. I was not able to do a meet and greet and she stepped in without an issue by talking it over on the phone. She made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. I’d recommend her and hire her again.”
“Such a gem! I've used Lillian on multiple occasions & have been able to travel with complete peace of mind knowing my kitties are in good hands. They warmed up to her right away & enjoy her presence when I'm away. I really appreciate her updates & flexibility. Absolutely recommend her services⭐️”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up with Labrador Retrievers and learning firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. Over the years, I’ve helped whelp litters, fostered rescue dogs (including one who became a beloved member of our family), and cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. My home is peaceful and dog-friendly, shared with my sweet mixed-breed dog, Prema, and features a large, securely fenced yard for safe play and exploration. Daily walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, nurturing environment ensure that every dog in my care feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m currently working from home, part-time, and teaching yoga at a nearby gym a couple of days a week, so your sweet pet would rarely be home on their own. My single-story home has a large, fenced yard where your dog can roam freely to play, take a sunbath, or chase butterflies. My 32 lb dog, Prema, will keep your dog company on daily walks and at home. The home has a doggie door, so your dog is free to roam in the house and outside. The doggie door is locked at night. Ideally, you would supply you dog’s favorite bed (although we have extras) a collar and leash, and preferred food with instructions on feeding timing, amount, etc. I want your pet to feel happy, safe, and have fun while here. 🦮
“Holly was very kind and thorough when we met and when she stopped by to feed and spend time with my cat when I was away. She is communicative and sent pictures every visit. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell my cat was comfortable with her as well. I would strongly recommend her to others to provide loving pet sitting. I’m grateful I found her to take care of my baby. Thank you holly, you rock!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life from large to small. From the time I was born we have always had a dog. All three were raised from the puppy stage so I have experience with all age dogs. I also grew up with a rabbit when I was younger and have been around cats all my life also. I am currently working with a very flexible schedule and mostly part time. I have the possibility to adjust my schedule as needed if something comes up. My schedule definitely gives me the ability to give your animals full attention. I have many years of experience house sitting/dog sitting for friends and family. I am good with instructions, responsible, and trustworthy. My number one priority is that your animal is safe and comfortable while you’re not there.

“Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3”
About: Hi am currently a local college student looking for some extra cash by doing what I love which is taking care of our amazing fur babies otherwise know as dogs. I have a beautiful border collie myself and I also have experience walking all types of small and large dogs for the Santa Cruz SPCA. I also have some experience taking care of bunnies if you have one. NOTE: my profile says that I have no pets only because I DO NOT do pet boarding in my own home. I only do day pet sitting and dog walking. I am currently available for dog walking/sitting Monday through Wednesday anytime and Thursdays and Fridays after 3 pm. I am also available Saturday after 5 pm and Sunday all day. If you are also looking for someone to help around the house along with taking care of your pet I currently work as a house keeper/ dog sitter outside of rover. If you have an untrained dog do not be embarrassed I am still more than happy to help, I have experience training my own dog through the Monterey Bay Training Club, so I am more than happy to teach your pooch a couple of tricks while we hang out.
About: I am currently an owner of two golden retriever/labrador mixes as well as a tabby cat and have four years of experience raising, playing with, taking care of, and walking them. They're both full of unlimited energy and I love them immensely, so I have plenty of experience with bigger, energetic dogs. I also have been picking up local dog sitting jobs over the past year and have experience watching dogs while their owners are away while providing entertainment, play, and care for them. I am currently a college student home for the summer who is free all day Monday-Sunday to help care for, play with, watch, or walk your dogs. I'm looking to pick up some side jobs over the summer to help pay for college expenses and would love to work with your family if our schedules align. I provide personalized care in my client's home so pets can feel comfortable in a familiar space while being attentive and respectful of the space. If provided a schedule regarding walks, feeding, medication, or more I will adhere to it as closely as possible. I can also provide constant communication, photos, and regular updates if needed to ease the owner's anxiety and provide peace of mind and confidence that their pet is safe and getting the utmost care.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, horses, and chickens which taught me how to care for every animal with patience and love from an early age. I am calm, dependable, and connect naturally with pets, even the more shy ones. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies as well as senior pets, including giving medications and following special routines which I do for my own senior dogs. I always treat every animal like family and make sure they feel cared for, happy, and safe while you are away. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, and I love spending time playing with, walking, and caring for pets. I am a recent college graduate currently searching for work which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. I can provide care morning, afternoons, and evenings, and will happily adjust to your pet's needs and routine. I care for pets in their own home with much love and attention, following all instructions and routines closely in order to keep them at ease in the surroundings they know best. I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort while also treating your space and belongings with respect. Having cared for animals my whole life, I make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you are away so that they feel at ease.
About: I have had my cat Ryzah for the past 12 years and she is my everything.

I have also had the pleasure of caring for family and friends cats since I was a kid. I love all types of cats and have experience with cats with different personalities and needs.
About: I've grown up with Cats. My first cat was named tiger, when I lived in England. 🏴 it's been a few years since my last rag doll kitty passed, so I'm excited to meet new kitties.

“Keren is fantastic! Her home is such a wonderful place for a dog to stay, and she was a complete professional from first contact until we picked up our Callie. Our pup seemed very happy at the end of the day, and we got great feedback about how she did. I think it would be really hard to find a better sitter on Rover than Keren!”
About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.
“Jennifer and her family are great! Bennett loves playing their dogs and cuddling on the couch with everyone. Jennifer makes the whole process so easy and is great at communicating needs, updates, and photos. I will absolutely continue taking Bennett to Jennifer for daycare or boarding and would recommend her if you’re looking for somewhere safe and comfortable for your dog to stay.”
About: I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long. As an animal lover and pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like part of the family and give them the same attention and love as my own. I am also available to keep small rodents, rabbits and birds. (I have a several birds and a rabbit!) I work from home so aside from picking up and dropping off kids to school, your pet will be part of the family all day long. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my care. I have a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and three small, friendly dogs (26 lbs total). Because I work from home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family and follow each owner’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy.
“Stasha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Elora and Jasper. We had a big party to host, and knowing they were in her care gave us so much peace of mind. It honestly allowed us to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the pups. From the start, Stasha was warm, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day, which meant so much and made it clear our pups were happy and in great hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with so much care and attention. Elora and Jasper came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. We felt completely safe trusting Stasha with them, and that kind of trust is huge. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly invested in caring for your dogs, I cannot recommend Stasha enough. She made it possible for us to host our party without a single worry, and that was priceless. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat. 🐾”

“Holly took wonderful care of my German Shepherd, Nicolai, for the week. She kept me updated every day with pictures and details of their walking routes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nicolai looked incredibly happy and well cared for in every update. It’s clear Holly genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog walker! I look forward to rebooking Holly in the very near future. Hugs I appreciate you.”
About: I have taken care of, walked, and house sat for many years. I have experience with small to large house dogs, competition dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I also have experience with giving multiple medications to many dogs all within the same household. I have also owned, cared for, and lived with multiple cats. I live in San Jose and attend school five days a week. Therefore my schedule is mainly open on the weekends or check ins through out the week, mostly in the afternoon/evening I try to maintain an orderly environment. I work with the dog so there is a sense of trust and comfort since I am a stranger to them, as well as an understanding that I am in charge in order to maintain a controlled and safe environment
About: For walks: I'm very experienced at dog waking. I can handle big and small dogs. I can move at any pace on walks including running. I like to let the dog set the pace. I will typically ask owners what commands they use with their dogs so I can help keep them trained and have them heel on walks. I always avoid other dogs just in case. And on hot days I plan my walks in advance and leave water out for the dog on the route before I start the walk. For drop ins and sitting: I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm currently a student and since all my classes are online, I will have plenty of time for your pets. I'm free every day, but Thursday and I'm not free Saturday after 6pm I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm great about making sure the house is completely locked up and the key put back in it's place when I'm done.
About: With 2 years of volunteer experience at the SPCA and a lifetime of caring for my own two dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, care, and companionship. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all sizes, from 10-pound pups to 175-pound gentle giants, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while you're away! I have a pretty open schedule during the summer, so I'm available most days for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and spending time with pets. Since I do not have major commitments during the summer, I can provide consistent care and adjust my schedule to meet each pet's specific needs. Since I can’t host pets, I’m happy to care for dogs in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I always prioritize safety and trust, making sure pets are well-supervised, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog with love and patience as if they were my own. I also respect each owner’s instructions to ensure their pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free!
About: *Currently only taking established clients* Hi y’all! I’m a local and have slowly been building a clientele, so I thought to put a profile to easily share with them my availability. I honestly do this for fun! I have years of expertise taking care of all sorts of animals. I am patient and a good listener with your fur babies. In addition, I am detailed when it comes to instructions from the owners on what the pet needs and their behaviors. No stone goes unturned. Because I do this for fun, the money is the last thing on my mind. So, if you’re on a tight budget, I hope my low rates help you out. If you still need to arrange something that fits your budget, please contact me! I am happy to help. I hope to be part of your fur baby’s life! I’m currently working from home, so I’m available for full pet care unless it’s days I travel out of town for work, which will be posted on the calendar. However, if you need pet care and you are in a rush/in an emergency, feel free to reach out and I am always happy to accommodate when possible. I make sure that when taking care of pets in a clients home that everything is left spick and span— I’ll sometimes do light cleaning so that owners come home from their long trip to a sparkling home that smells fresh and clean. When taking care of pets in my home, it is the same way. I will always dedicate plenty of time to your fur babies and they will be with me wherever I go.
“Angelina has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dogs. She cares for Winston (our Cockapoo), Charlie, Annie (our Labradoodle), and our Bernedoodle, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She has such a calm, wonderful presence, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. They’ve all warmed up to her so quickly, which says everything about her energy and the trust she builds with them. Every time they return, they have the most cheerful dispositions and are ready for a cozy nap—it’s obvious they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We truly feel lucky to have Angelina and would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, an experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I know every pet has their own routine, and I believe the best care comes from keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, providing enrichment, or simply spending quality time cuddling on the couch, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I work part time in an optometry office and part time at a spa, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available early mornings, during my lunch break on most weekdays, evenings after work, and all day Friday and Sunday. During overnight stays, I provide care before work, stop by during my lunch break when needed, return after work for dinner, walks, and quality time, then stay overnight with your pet. I always strive to maintain their normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before the booking. I always keep dogs leashed when out, unless you’ve specifically approved otherwise, and they’re in a secure area. I make sure gates and doors are secured, fresh water is always available, and I closely monitor pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I treat every client’s home with respect, keep it clean, and make sure it’s in the same condition.
About: I've cared for dogs for years, including my own pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Through that experience, I've learned how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them the attention and affection they need. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and secure while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own. I'm currently in college, but I only have three classes this semester. Therefore, I will have more time to play with your pup! I'm available to board on weekends and most weekdays. The only times I will be out are Tuesdays and Thursdays before 2 pm and Wednesdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard to play outside in and your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a calm, loving environment. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also make sure pets are always supervised during walks, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to their behavior to ensure they're happy and healthy. I'll treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi am currently a local college student looking for some extra cash by doing what I love which is taking care of our amazing fur babies otherwise know as dogs. I have a beautiful border collie myself and I also have experience walking all types of small and large dogs for the Santa Cruz SPCA. I also have some experience taking care of bunnies if you have one. NOTE: my profile says that I have no pets only because I DO NOT do pet boarding in my own home. I only do day pet sitting and dog walking. I am currently available for dog walking/sitting Monday through Wednesday anytime and Thursdays and Fridays after 3 pm. I am also available Saturday after 5 pm and Sunday all day. If you are also looking for someone to help around the house along with taking care of your pet I currently work as a house keeper/ dog sitter outside of rover. If you have an untrained dog do not be embarrassed I am still more than happy to help, I have experience training my own dog through the Monterey Bay Training Club, so I am more than happy to teach your pooch a couple of tricks while we hang out.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I also have a Yorkie of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve dog sat for friends with both big and small dogs, as well as cats, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially on long walks where dogs get to explore, exercise, and have fun. I currently attend community college four mornings a week, which means I’m free most of the day for pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through walks and outdoor time, and I give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement. For cats, I provide calm care, feeding, litter maintenance, and gentle interaction at their comfort level. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about leaving our dog Jack with someone new—but Stasha was amazing! She went above and beyond, treating Jack with so much kindness and patience, especially since he’s an older pup. She took him on walks, gave him plenty of time to relax and soak up the sun, and communicated with us every step of the way. We really appreciated her transparency and how she always checked in before trying new activities with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”

“The best Rover sitter! J D truly loves dogs, and it’s a great feeling to know we’re leaving our dog with someone who cares about their well-being. J D took care of our senior dog Nemo, with lots of warmth and affection. When we picked him he didn’t seem anxious to leave, he was so relaxed. J D was also flexible and accommodating with our scheduling needs, he’s professional and reliable all around.”

“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention.

I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Our little Mandy enjoyed staying with Petra and her family. Mandy is usually stressed whenever we leave her with a sitter.. but not this time!

Zeus has been living his best life. Will definitely being using him again.”
