“I highly recommend Jo to watch your animals! She is patient, considerate, and takes initiative with not only our babies, but also our home. Our Chiweenie takes time to get used to new people but snuggled up with Jo quickly. Jo communicates well and made me feel at ease knowing our dogs were under her care. I will not hesitate to reach out to Jo in the future!”

About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends. I’ve cared for pets in my home for extended stays of up to a month at a time, so I’m comfortable being responsible for their daily routine and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while away from their owners. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, basic cleanup, and lots of attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and take their routines and individual needs seriously. I have a flexible weekday schedule and can step away from work for a few hours when needed, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime drop-in visits and walks. I’m also available before and after work and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime routine. I take pet safety and routines seriously. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep your pet comfortable, and send updates so you know how they’re doing.

“I cannot recommend Riley enough! She took care of my dog, Honeybee, over the weekend, and her updates were nothing short of amazing. Every day, I received detailed, thoughtful reports that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She not only ensured Honeybee got plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement, but she also took the time to observe her moods and behaviors, adjusting their routine accordingly. From peaceful morning strolls through José Ave Park to curious moments watching birds at the harbor, her reports painted a picture of not just a caregiver, but a true companion for my pup. I loved how attentive she was to Honeybee’s hydration, food intake, and overall well-being. Plus, the little cuddle sessions before she left were such a sweet touch! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative, Riley is the absolute best. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.

About: With experience spanning a wide spectrum of pets, I've had the privilege of working with numerous furry companions, including those with various health conditions. My patience and dedication shine through when caring for pets, and I'm known for my active approach, engaging in playful activities, walks, and exciting hikes. Additionally, I excel in communication, ensuring pet owners are well-informed and comfortable with the care provided. Working from home, I cherish the companionship and breaks that come with caring for animals. My flexible schedule grants me the freedom to seamlessly balance work and pet care. Whether it's a hike, a day at the beach, or a pool for active pets, I'm all about ensuring their happiness and physical activity. For indoor pets, my spacious layout is equipped with a variety of toys to keep them entertained, and I wholeheartedly welcome their favorite toys into our home. Growing up, I've been fortunate to share my life with multiple dogs, including a large one and two smaller furry companions. Extending from dogs, I'm also well versed with caretaking of cats! I have two of my own and have a wide range of volunteering feeding stray cats. This diverse experience has enriched my understanding of the varying needs that come with different pets, pet sizes, and personalities. With someone always at home, we maintain a diligent routine of taking our dogs out every hour or so, ensuring they have ample free time and monitoring their restroom needs. Our oldest dog, who is approaching 11 years old, requires an extra level of care and attention, and we are consistently attentive to her well-being. We've established a structured feeding schedule, carefully tailored to each pet's unique dietary requirements, guaranteeing they receive the nutrition that suits them best. ⭐️ Currently residing with my trusted cousin, a verified Rover sitter, we collaborate seamlessly to ensure your pet receives the best care. With two pairs of vigilant eyes, your pet's safety and well-being are our top priorities. ⭐️ Our home is not just a space; it's a loving environment where our pets thrive, and their well-being is our top priority. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 With a decade of pet care expertise, I'm your trusted pet-sitting professional! Though I’m new to the platform, I can assure you I’ve been working with clients on my own accord for years— all satisfied with my care! What makes me stand out? Playtime: Fun activities, walks, hikes, adventures, and even a pool for the ones who love a dip! 🛝🐕 Photo Updates: Feel reassured with abundant photos of your pets and their wellbeing! Depending on your preference I am willing to send as many photos you'd like on the daily basis! 📸 Safety & Reliability: Safety is my upmost priority and will be sure to take diligent measures to ensure a safe environment at my home and outside my home! 🏡🔐 My Schedule: As someone who works from home, my schedule is extremely flexible! I understand the last minute trips some may experience. I'd love to help ease the stress of finding someone last minute for being ready to watch your babies. Overnight Policies (House Sitting): I maintain a stringent policy, treating your home as if it were my own. I keep things tidy, organized, and ensure everything is in its place upon my leave. If I take your furry baby out or they need to be cleaned, I am well experience with bathing all sizes! You will return to not only a clean home, but a clean pet as well! I understand the apprehension of leaving your pets with a stranger, so let's schedule a call for you to get to know me better and put your mind at ease! 😊

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have spent my whole life caring for dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs, two chickens, and eight cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and pet care needs. I’ve also been dog walking for the past year, gaining hands-on experience caring for other people’s pets. My background in childcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness, which I bring into caring for animals as well. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always strive to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! I’m currently a college student, and my classes only take up about an hour each weekday morning, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day! Outside of school, I love staying active, going on walks, and spending time at home. Because of this, incorporating pet care into my daily routine feels like a perfect fit! Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a visit, or spending quality time with your pet at home, I have the time and flexibility to give them plenty of attention and care. I live alone in an apartment in the heart of downtown Campbell, with access to a fully fenced front and backyard that are private and only accessible to me. Although I have pets of my own, they live at my family home, so any animals staying with me will have a comfortable space without other pets around! I’m also just a five-minute walk from Los Gatos Creek Trail and close to several local parks, making it easy to incorporate walks and outdoor time into our daily routine. My biggest priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining the routines they’re used to at home. Whether your pet is crate-trained, prefers to free roam, or has specific dietary or medical needs, I’m happy to accommodate their individual requirements and follow your instructions closely. I plan to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, working around my school schedule and their needs. I’m also more than happy to provide photos and updates throughout their stay so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands! For house sitting and drop-in visits, I bring that same level of attention and respect to your home, making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible.

“Nicole and Ryan were great with my dog Edie! I received updates and pics for every drop in and felt confident knowing my pup was in good hands while I was traveling. They had a conflict during one drop in time and needed to adjust the schedule and offered to come an extra visit later that day to make sure Edie was comfortable. During the meet and greet Nicole asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s preferences, personality, and schedule. I highly recommend and would gladly book with them in the future!”

Nicole was wonderful with our Hoppy! She was very responsive in all communications, always on time, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our cat in her care. Hoppy is usually very shy and doesn’t trust people easily, but she warmed up to Nicole from the very first day. Her updates and photos were so helpful and reassuring that Hoppy has been taken care of while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Kristin takes her role and responsibilities seriously, and meticulously follows all requests. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy our time away, and our girls were able to stay home and enjoy the love and care they received from Kristin. Before Kristin, we had only left them with family. Thanks 🙏 so much Kristin. We will definitely be booking you again. ❤️

Yun-an (Elva) is really the best sitter we know and is our savior! We had originally planned to have her drop by only a few times when we were away but the night before our trip (literally while I was packing), one of our cats had an emergency. The doctor subscribed him medication to be taken twice a day. I was ready to cancel the trip if I couldn’t find someone to take care of him. Luckily, not only did Elva agree last minute to come two times a day, but she really went above and beyond the expectations during her visits. She is extremely detailed oriented and kept me updated about everything. Our cat is really but Elva did a great job of making him feel comfortable and making sure that he ate before giving him the medicine. Her rover cards had dozens of photos and long descriptions of what each of my fur babies did during her visits. She is such a patient and loving care taker, and I can tell both of my cats trust her. Having Elva come by made me feel at ease during my trip, because I know there is someone who would take very good care of my cats. I feel so, so lucky to have found her. Highly highly recommended!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Vasona Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
