“This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.”
“Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!”
“Michelle was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to housesit our hyper husky. Michelle got back to us promptly and was responsible, trustworthy and professional. I’m so glad I met her, and I definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“We were away for 8 days and came back to two relaxed, happy cats and a spotless apartment — as if we’d never left! Huge thanks to Daria for taking such great care of everything.”
“Austin took care of our dog, Bailey, at our house for 11 nights. Austin is extremely diligent with great attention to details. Even before he took on the job, he asked detailed questions about our dog and how to care for him. He followed all our care instructions very well. Our dog had some anxiety at the start of the stay and Austin was very communicative about it. He gave our dog a lot of love and attention to make him feel better. Austin kept us updated throughout the stay and even offered to stay a little longer as our flight was delayed. Overall, we are very happy with Austin and would rebook him without hesitation.”
“Emmy was happy and relaxed when I got home -- that's all I can ask for, really :) More broadly, Elissa was responsible and communicative. I will definitely be working with her again!”
“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“Ian is exceptional! They took wonderful care of our dog, cat, and home—everything was in great shape when we returned. Ian provided regular updates, allowing us to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our pets and home were in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Ian!”
“We’ll hire Alexander again! He was thankfully available relatively last minute before our vacation after our previous sitter fell through. He was communicative and shared updates and photos of happy, tired pups throughout the week.”
“Nicole was great, sent us pictures each day, and the place was spotless when we got back. Very grateful for staying with our puppy while we were away for the holidays - would recommend to anyone in need of a stay in sitter.”
“Katie followed our directions exact for our many animals. She took care of our pup and multiple birds and our quail! Our home was just as we left it and all our babies were happy. We are very happy with our experience. Peace of mind on a trip was priceless.”
“Ciara stayed at my house and took care of my dog Doug while I was on a 5-day trip. She did an outstanding job. She was mature, responsible, and a great communicator-- I got regular updates and pictures by text. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed on time, and gave him play time. I felt very at ease being away, because she clearly had everything handled. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Barbara was a caring, conscientious sitter for our dog and cat. She sent us lots of photos, which I love, and they both looked happy and relaxed in all of them. We came home to two well cared-for pets! We’ve already booked her to stay with Sasha and Mickey again!”

Whether it’s providing enrichment activities, administering medication, or simply giving endless cuddles, I’m here to treat your pets like they’re my own. My focus is on creating a stress-free experience for both you and your furry family! I am home full time and work part time (fully remote) which gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated care for your pets. I have plenty of time throughout the day for play, walks, and snuggles, and I can adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs.

In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and follow your guidelines to maintain your pet’s comfort and well-being. I communicate regularly to keep you updated, so you always know your furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my focus.
“Reza is amazing. He took such wonderful care of both of my dogs. One is leash reactive and the other has separation anxiety. He was able to work with them and meet their individual needs. I came home to 2 very happy dogs and my apartment just as I left it. Reza’s communications with me were great and I got pictures of my dogs. Reza will always be my first choice. Without a doubt I recommend Reza to anyone looking for a kind animal loving person to look after their pets.”
“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them comes naturally to me. From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I treat every dog like they’re my own. You can count on me to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! I currently work from home so have plenty of time to care for pups, especially going on walks and tending to their feeding needs and being present with them. I ensure to always know the different areas and points of exit to prevent any slips, and always maintain an eye on the pup for any activity they do!
“Cora was a great dog sitter. She was extremely responsive and left us lots of updates and our dog seemed to be having a great time with her. She also left the house spotless. Would highly recommend!”
About: I am a 24 year old tax professional in the Menlo Park area. I am a trustworthy athletic dog sitter/walker with a love for animals. I am available weekday afternoons and weekends. I used to play college softball so I am physically fit/active and love to go on long walks or runs multiple times a day. I grew up with two of my own dogs, a chocolate lab (105 lbs) and a Yorkie Maltese mix (15 lbs) , that are two very different sizes. They required me to feed them three times a day, let them out to use the restroom every two hours, walk them at least once a day, and play fetch with a ball or frisbee to get them tired enough for bed. These skills are some of the things I would be doing with the dogs I sit/walk. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. Each day, I make time for feeding, walking, and playing with my pet to support their health and happiness. I also handle weekly tasks like cleaning and monitoring their well-being. I'm available on weekends, which gives me extra time to focus on their care and spend quality time together. I like to follow the rules of the home that I house sit for. Keeping the same schedule and rules usually helps the transition for the pet and minimize any form of separation anxiety for the dogs.

West Menlo Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ian is the best! He was so thoughtful, communicative, and clearly really loves dogs. Our senior dog had a minor medical situation right before we left and Ian was extra vigilant, kind, and responsive to make sure we knew how she was doing (totally fine) and sent photos of her enjoying walks and such. He was super respectful of our home and we're already to rebooking with him for our next trip!
Ahmyah has an instant rapport with our dog. She knew exactly what to do to make him comfortable. And she took good care of him and our house while we were away. She threw the ball for our dog, took him on walks, and sent us daily pictures. We came home to a calm and happy canine.
Nicole was absolutely amazing! She’s a true dog person—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Our dog is older, with some anxiety and medical needs, and Nicole handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She followed our detailed instructions to the letter and made sure our pup felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. What really stood out was how much our dog adored her. She took the time to play with him, snuggle, and give him the attention he needed to feel at ease. We also appreciated the thoughtful updates and sweet photos she sent throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Nicole went above and beyond and we feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!
Lauren was a delight to work with. Responsive and professional, while still showing her love for dogs and animals. She took care of our almost 14 year old Lab and 8 year old Weim with great care and sent daily check-ins with multiple photos. She left the house impeccable as well. We will definitely be using Lauren again and I highly recommend her for dog and house sitting!
Kendall was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Ruby while we were away on family vacation for just over 2 weeks. Not only did she follow our routines for feeding and regular walks, but she also took wonderful care of our home--everything was clean, tidy, and in amazing shape after her time with us. She left our home in better shape than she found it and was great about sending pics and updates about our pup while we were away. What more could you ask for?! She was a delight to work with--kind, communicative, and with wonderful manners--and we sincerely hope she will watch Ruby any time we have need for a dog sitter in the future!
Maria was excellent! We’d be happy to have her stay with our pup who needs an emotional support human at all times. She went the extra mile with our anxious boy keeping him company while eating (and sharing lots of treats). She’s a great communicator and asks great questions. Maria and our pup hit it off fast. We love our boy so much and we could tell Maria provided as much love as we would give him. Thank you Maria!
Ashely was amazing. Super responsive and responsible. Took such great care of our dogs as though they were her own. It was July 4 weekend and one of our dogs is terrified of fireworks. Ashely cuddled with her through the night until the fireworks were over to make sure she was comfortable. Will definitely use Ashely again!
Amy was sooo great! Super responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the whole stay. I really appreciated how she left the house—everything was how we left it, and she even washed and remade the bed, which was such a nice surprise to come home to. But most importantly, I felt like I could fully rely on her and knew our cats were safe and happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next trip:)
Juan was an amazing sitter who took great care of our cat Peaky. Peaky can be shy at first but Juan was able to make him feel comfortable very quickly! We came back home to a happy cat and a spotless apartment. We also appreciated the regular updates and photographs. Would happily book with Juan again.
Caroline was a great find to care for our pet while we traveled for work. She was responsive, prompt to take up her duties and a fabulous pet photographer. Best pictures in years. She was also kind and attentive to our home which was much a ppreciated. Five stars — highly recommended.
