“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”
“Shinhyun is very gentle and sweet. Luca is hppy with her. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy dogsitter.”
“Marta was really great with our dog! She came on time and kept him happy! What more could a person ask? I don’t know what to put on dog sitting reviews. This is the first time we used Rover and we would happily rebook with Marta if our foster hadn’t already achieved his dream of a forever home. Lucky him! Maybe she is a good luck charm”
“Annellise was absolutely on top of things and very easy to coordinate with. My dog loved her and was well taken care is as was my house! Will definitely be rebooking her services as well as recommending her to friends & family”
“Selena took great care of our dog Benji at our house while we were gone for the weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on what/how he was doing throughout. Benji seemed to have had a blast with her. Selena left our home very tidy and our dog satisfied. We would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”
“Diana was great with my dog! She understood his behavior and handled him really well. She took him on so many walks to the park that I'm sure he wishes I would go away and leave him with her more often!”
“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”
“Kate did amazing job with our dog! We were a little nervous about in home sitting, but it seemed like a really good option for our dog, and Kate made us feel completely at ease about it. Kate communicates very regularly and we loved getting daily updates from her. She left our home spotless so we could relax after returning home and, most importantly, our dog was very clearly well taken care of. We would highly highly recommend Kate. Thanks Kate!”
“Gabriela is an excellent pet sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior fur babies! She is reliable and kept me updated with pics of the kids while I was gone. I look forward to hiring her again when needed!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“Jed stayed with Wyatt over the long Memorial Day weekend and did a fantastic job. He was very communicative and sent many photos. The care he provided Wyatt was perfect. He was such a happy pooch when we got home. I would highly recommend Jed to care for your pet while you are gone.”
“Angel did a great job with the pups during the home stay. They seemed very happy and well taken care of when we got back from our trip! I would rebook with Angel again in the future.”
About: Experience - 9 months of being a pet sitter. 3 years with my own dog. 15 years with cats at home as a kid. Currently living with roommates who have 2 dogs and 4 cats. Currently going back to school. Working part time as a pet sitter gives me the flexibility to unwind when needing a break from studying and having a nice distraction of the pets to take care of. When caring for client's pets at their home I keep the house in order as I found it. If I am staying a few nights while a client is on vacation, I keep all of my over night items in one area to avoid misplacing them. If there are any instructions the client left for their pets or the home, I will update the client that those items have been completed as soon as possible.
“Melanie was amazing. She was super flexible and very good with timely communication cadence. She sent me pictures of my cat everyday and followed all my requests. I will definitely ask for her help to take care of my kitty in the future again! Thank You Melanie!”
About: I truly love animals and treat every dog or cat like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or simply keeping your pet company, I bring a warm, friendly, and attentive presence to every visit. I’ve cared for animals my entire life — I grew up with a family dog, bunnies, and even a tortoise! I raised my corgi mix, Lilo, from puppyhood and understand the consistency it takes to support pets through every stage of life. I also have experience with senior pets. I’m available throughout the day and can dedicate as much time as needed to care for your pet. Whether it’s extended stays, drop-ins, or walks, I’d love to make your pet’s care a part of my everyday routine. I’m currently searching for my next remote job opportunity, which means my schedule is quite flexible. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. When boarding, I can make arrangements for my dog to stay elsewhere for your pets' comfort. When house sitting, I follow your specific instructions, tidy up, and always treat your space with respect. I will happily send photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away. If your pet has special needs (mobility, diet, etc.), I am even more detail-oriented with my care! I have experience with oral medication, eye drops, anxiety, reactivity, incontinence, visual/hearing limitations, and more.
“Donna was great with my 2 year old American Bully and my 9 year old Boxer mix. She took very good care of them and kept me updated with photos which I appreciate. Will definitely be using Donna in the future.”

West San Jose pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dianna was amazing with our 2 Frenchies. We had her housesit for a few days and they girls loved her. Everything went smoothly and the house was just as we left it. She's really good at communication including pictures and videos. We definitely plan to use her again.
Minette was an amazing sitter. She took great care of my cat Kira, was very respectful of my home, and was super responsive to all of my messages (including proactively sending me pictures of Kira every day). I would highly recommend Minette to others and would absolutely book with her again in the future.
We had the pleasure of rebooking Mamu for a two week trip, and once again, they did a wonderful job caring for my high energy dog. Mamu is incredibly thoughtful and attentive by sending daily pictures and videos but also going the extra mile to care for my dog's specific needs. They have been working with my dog on his leash pulling. Mamu isn't just watching over your furry friend, but they truly engages with them and wants to help them thrive. Mamu is also very observant and always quick to communicate if something seems off or needs attention. My dog absolutely ADORES Mamu. If you’re lucky enough to book with Mamu, know that your pet, home and your peace of mind are in the best hands.
I can’t recommend Munique enough! She took amazing care of both my dog and cat while I was away. She kept me constantly updated with messages and tons of adorable photos, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog has a lot of energy, and she went above and beyond to meet her needs—taking my dog on long walks and fun adventures that she absolutely loves. My dog gets SO excited every time she sees her, which tells me everything I need to know. She’s incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. I’m so grateful to have found her!
Michelle does a great job caring for my crazy cat! I appreciate how communicative she is about each visit and I can tell even though my cat can be a pain as he is slow to trust people he doesn't know well, she is patient and genuinely tries to connect with him.
Delilah is WONDERFUL! I am a super anxious dog mom with our boy- hes human friendly but very dog reactive so I always worry about leaving him in new hands but Delilah was so sweet and he loved her instantly. I was sent tons of photos and videos throughout her stay out our house and when our flight home was delayed she worked with us on making sure he was okay! 🥹💕 We have already rebooked with her and we're sure Boba can't wait to see her again. Thank you Delilah! 💕🫶
We hired Laurel to care for our dog and cat while we were out of town and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our initial meeting, our pets took to her right away which gave us peace of mind. It’s always hard to leave pets behind and find someone to trust but finding Laurel made all the difference. Both pets were happy and well cared for when we returned, and we loved getting photo updates while we were away. Our cat had stopped eating for part of the time but Laurel was creative in finding ways to get our cat to start eating again and take care of him. We would not hesitate to hire Laurel again. Thank you so much!
We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful pet sitter! Amanda took amazing care of our cat, Chubby, while we were away. Not only did she make sure he had his food, water, and medication on schedule, but she also gave him so much love and attention. It’s clear she genuinely adores animals. Her updates were reassuring, and we felt completely at ease knowing Chubby was in such kind and capable hands. We truly appreciated her care, thoughtfulness, and reliability. We would absolutely love to have her sit for Chubby again. Highly recommended!
Kristine was the best! She sent photos and our little guy looked happy and not stressed out. She went beyond taking care of him. Our flight was delayed and she was able to still give him his last dose of medication. Also it was nice having her at the house during the day. It made Tony get use to her. Thank you so much. We now know we have someone to help us out!
Ankke watched our elderly dog Ralph for 5 days while we were away getting married. Ankke was absolutely incredible!!! Ralph has a lot of special needs - he can't hear anymore, he has a heart condition, and he can have flare ups of back problems. We felt really at ease with Ankke - she kept us up to date with how he was doing with detailed updates, sent loads of pictures, and took wonderful care of Ralph. She seemed very, very tuned in to Ralph's needs and his emotional and physical state. Usually Ralph gets upset with us when we're away and can take a few days to warm up to us again, but this time was different - Ralph was so glad to see us and was in the best mood right from the start. We're so thrilled to have found Ankke and are excited to have her care for Ralph in the future.
