“Juneau really seemed to like her. We had our home camera on and Mara was very appropriate in the home. She was easy to communicate with and followed our directions. We plan to use her in the future with our son’s dog.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, with more professional sitting services beginning in 2015. I have been able to alleviate the stress of traveling and leaving behind cherished fur babies, which is such a great feeling. Why stress them out if you can have reliable and loving care in home. I work a job that is semi flexible, allowing for me to travel to your home when needed. I work remotely once or twice a week and I’m happy to stay in your home to care for your babies. I’m the type of person that will want to know how you care for your pet. I want to care for your pet as similarly to as possible, without interrupting, usual routines. I’m very flexible about schedules.
“Danielle is the best sitter we had! We went on our trip abroad for a month and she took care of both of our kitties really well! She took care of the kitties medications and other needs perfectly! I would definitely recommend her as the sitter for your fur babies!”
“Hannah was so great with our pups! We were so lucky she was able to come through on such short notice! Gave great updates and the boys were very happy and tuckered out when we got home!”
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
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!
About: I have a 14 year old beagle corgi mix. Happy to do walks and drop in visits for your pups. Feel free to reach out! I am currently working from home, but I would love to care for your pups if there are times when you need that additional support. I have taken care of my friends’ dogs. I am very detailed oriented in following directions for those with special needs. I am also open to walks during the drop-in visits.
“This was the second time we reached out to Stephanie for check ins for our dog Hero while we had a day in the city. She was fantastic and made sure Hero got some love while we were away.”
About: Hello, my name is Mira and I am graduate student studying Sports Performance Psychology. I am a retired athlete that still lives an active lifestyle and I would love to play with your dogs! Caring for dogs is really fun and is a stress reliever for me! I understand that caring for dogs is a big responsibility and I am up for the challenge! I used to have a dog at my parents home that I used to care for regularly which gives me experience while caring for your furry friends! I have experience with raising puppies as well. I am very excited about this opportunity, and hope you will choose me to care for your pups!! I use dog walking as a fun activity and 2nd source of income. I’m a basketball coach and graduate student. I’m mostly available early mornings and afternoons. I check the app frequently for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stay. I treat them as if they’re my own. I also try not to disrupt their daily routine so I abide by the parents rules closely.
About: Dentist and Petsitter :) | have grown up surrounded by animals, I had a dog all my childhood and I took care of my grandparents' pets. I relate very well to animals and I am extremely careful and affectionate. I can take care of your pets every day, week day or weekend, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-loved while keeping your home secure, clean, and respected. Trust in pet care at a client’s home comes from reliability, clear communication, respectful behavior, daily updates, and genuine love for animals and their well-being.
About: I’ve shared life with animals for 23 years—starting with my cat Chiquita (14 wonderful years), a rescued lab-beagle Hooke, and two rambunctious pups: Tiger (adopted 4 years ago) and Lou (3 years ago). Tiger lives confidently with epilepsy, so I’m well-versed in seizure monitoring, timed oral meds, and sub-cutaneous injections when needed. Right now my own dogs are staying abroad with my husband, so caring for your pets fills that furry void. With this hands-on medical experience, I’m equally comfortable looking after seniors, puppies, and other special-needs companions. Your dog receives one-family-at-a-time attention, calm positive-reinforcement handling, and daily photo updates. Standard neighborhood walks and yard play are included; beach days, trail hikes, or extended runs can be arranged for an additional fee to cover travel and time. I work locally but not on a strict 9-to-5 clock, so pets start their day with a 7 AM walk and breakfast, get a mid-day potty break (between 12-2 PM), and enjoy a long evening adventure after 5 PM. Weekends are wide open for beach runs, parks, or lazy couch snuggles. Boarding stays include one family movie night—dogs pick the film!—and lights-out around 10 PM. I never book more animals than I can give individual attention. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I host one family at a time in a clean, smoke-free house with a fully fenced yard, so dogs (and adventurous cats!) can sniff around outdoors under my watch whenever the weather’s nice. Inside, open space, and plants are pet-safe. For outings, I’m fully kitted out—seat-belt harnesses, water packs, etc. I ask for current vaccines before booking to keep everyone healthy. You’ll get time-stamped photos and quick replies throughout your pet’s stay, so you’re never left wondering how your best friend is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for many years I used to work with a German Shepard for a year. After that I have taken care of and walked another dog that I still sometimes take care of to this day! I am a full time student at CSM! Besides my school I have the time and willingness to take care of your pets any day. Unfortunately will not be able to take care of pets in my home due to restrictions. But I will make sure to be respectful and courteous while in a clients home!
About: Hi! I’m Andrea, originally from Colombia and now living in Oak Creek (Palo Alto) with my husband Juan and our sweet rescue pup, Iris Alfonsina. We recently moved here from Barcelona because Juan is a postdoc at the Stanford School of Medicine, and we’re excited to be part of this beautiful community. Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. We know how deep the bond can be—and how important it is to find someone you truly trust to care for your furry family member. I work remotely for a company in Colombia, which means I’m home most of the day. That gives me plenty of time to give your dog the attention, playtime, cuddles, and walks they deserve. I love being outside and staying active—and I believe dogs make everything better. 🐕🌿 I’m also learning English, so getting to know local pet parents (and their awesome pups!) helps me feel more connected and grow every day. If you’re looking for someone loving, responsible, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I’d love to care for your pup like they were my own. 👉 Let’s schedule your dog’s first visit—I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care is part of my everyday life. I work from home, so I’m always around to give pets love, walks, and attention throughout the day. I care for every pet as I’d want someone to care for my own dog, Iris Alfonsina—with love, patience, and full attention to their needs. I provide a safe, calm environment, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow any specific instructions from pet parents to make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and happy—just like I’d want for Iris.

Simran K.
“I can't say enough good things about Simran and the incredible care she has provided for our dogs, Roux and Moxie, over the years. We’ve entrusted her with their care multiple times, and every experience has been nothing short of exceptional. She has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs, which always puts our minds at ease. Simran’s attention to detail and her dedication to our dogs’ well-being is truly remarkable. She always takes the time to understand their individual personalities, quirks, and routines, ensuring they are both comfortable and happy while we are away. Roux, a bit more reserved and cautious around strangers, warmed up to her immediately, and Moxie, who is more energetic and playful, is always thrilled when Simran walks through the door. It's clear that Simran doesn’t just look after our dogs—she forms a bond with them. She goes above and beyond in every way. Whether it's giving them extra cuddles, taking them on longer walks, or even administering medication when needed, Simran always shows a level of care and compassion that we feel is beyond what most pet sitters offer. We’ve also noticed that after Simran’s visits, our dogs are calm and content, not stressed or anxious like they can sometimes be after other sitters. Another huge bonus is that Simran is incredibly reliable and communicative. She always keeps us updated with texts and photos during her visits, letting us know how our dogs are doing. This constant communication makes us feel so much more at ease when we’re away. It's clear that she treats our pets as if they were her own, and it shows in the way our dogs respond to her every time she arrives. Additionally, Simran has shown a lot of flexibility when it comes to last-minute scheduling or changes to our travel plans. Knowing that we can count on her has been a huge relief, and we always feel like our pets are in the best hands when she’s looking after them. We can’t recommend Simran highly enough. She is truly a gem in the world of pet care—professional, compassionate, and incredibly trustworthy. Roux and Moxie absolutely adore her, and so do we! If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will not only take care of your pets but also love and nurture them as if they were her own, Simran is the one.”

“Sofia was absolutely amazing with my cat Lizzy! She kept me updated daily with photos and little notes about how Lizzy was doing. Lizzy can be a bit shy, but she quickly warmed up to Sofia. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Sofia. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💛”

West Menlo Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have hired Adélie twice before for extended stays in our home. In both cases, she has provided 5 star service. This time we only needed her to come over one day to feed our kitten Maddy. Again, she provided excellent service. She arrived on time, provided many pictures, fed Maddy, and spent some time giving Maddy attention. We came home to a happy cat. Adélie even took a delivered package into our house without asking. Thank you!
Lauren was fantastic! She came over for a short meet and great and our kitten Lucy came up to her straight away with a happy tail. Lauren took excellent care of our girl while we were away. She prepared Lucy’s food exactly as she likes it, gave a treat and cleaned the litter box room well. Thank you!
Sam was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties (1-year old brothers)! One of the cats needed a pill every day & Sam was totally great with that too. Sam is super responsible and really nice and also takes fantastic cat photos to look at while you’re away :)
Nina & Leo were incredible care-takers of our cats. We hired them to stop by every morning to check on them and their food and water. They went above and beyond by not only sending pictures and videos of our cats, but also of the food, water and litter box. In addition, they alerted me to a gate that I left open and were immediately responsive to my questions. I will absolutely hire them again!!!!!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Yueqian. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and have a real passion for what they do. Our dog felt so comfortable and happy during their time together. Yueqian was punctual, reliable, and communicated with us regularly, sending us updates and pictures. We highly recommend Yueqian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!
