“Ariana took great care of my senior dog Chester, who has some special health issues. She is very caring, thoughtful, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to have Ariana care for Chester again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending calm, attentive time with animals and focusing on their comfort and routine. I currently live with a family dog, which has given me ongoing experience with daily care and understanding pet behavior. In the past, I also cared for a hamster, which taught me responsibility and consistency with small animals. I am especially attentive during drop-in visits and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m a recent graduate currently volunteering with Animal Assisted Happiness on Sundays, with times that vary. I also receive training through San Jose Animal Care Center. My schedule is generally flexible outside of these commitments, and I’m available for drop-in pet care during the week and on other days. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets (including litter boxes or pads if needed), and spend time with them through companionship and light play. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.
“Chang was so responsive, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of our dog at a drop in! She also took wonderful photos to update us. Wonderful experience and our dog is so happy!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Sandy was great! She took time to come over the day before to meet our boys and get comfortable with them, she arrived early and took great care of our fur babies. We would definitely call Sandy again!”
“Nasrin was wonderful with Appa! She dropped in a couple of times and took great care of him. She even sent me photos so I could see how he was doing, and Appa looked happy and well-cared for. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness and reliability. Would definitely book with Nasrin again!”
“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small pets like gerbils. I have a calm, patient, and friendly demeanor that helps me quickly build trust with animals of all personalities. As a dedicated animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets who require medication, and I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines I am available most days out of the week, and on weekends. I currently work from home, so I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention and love they deserve! When boarding pets in my home, they are provided with a private, comfortable space in a dedicated spare bedroom to help them feel safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of all household rules, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sarah was amazing! She took great care of my two cats while I was away—very reliable, attentive, and communicative. Loved the photo updates! Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: Growing up with a diverse array of pets instilled a deep understanding of their needs. Specializing in cat and reptile care sets me apart as a reliable sitter. Hi! I’m Lexi, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or providing extended care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for cats and understand that many need patience and trust before they warm up to someone new. I also enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels and am happy to follow any routines that help your pet feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time in San Jose and am available for morning, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love helping pet parents feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do my best to maintain their normal feeding, exercise, playtime, and medication schedules. I treat every home with respect and provide regular photo updates and communication throughout each visit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re apart.
“Sabrina has been the best find on Rover! She is kind, dependable, and very responsive. You can immediately sense her love for dogs. She treats my pup like one of her own and he is always very excited to see her. I highly recommend Sabrina’s services!”
About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 3 years old. I understand the love, care, and trust that pet owners invest in their animals, as well as the stress that can come with leaving them in someone else's care. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I leave the house for roughly 3 hours per day in order to take care of my personal fairs. I have no other obligations during my day other than attending to my horse (your dog is welcome to join me!!) for those 3 hours. I am always attentive and respectful in my clients' homes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and rules that help keep them safe and comfortable, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. Want your pet on the sofa? Great—they can relax on their favorite cushion. Prefer that they stay out of the kitchen? No problem. I'll work with you to maintain the boundaries and routines your pet is accustomed to. My goal is to provide consistent care that keeps your pet happy and gives you peace of mind while you're away.
“Rachel is an excellent cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She is easy to communicate with and approached our skittish cat in a way that made her comfortable. We came home to a happy and healthy kitty! I would rebook her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Terry has been a great addition to Diego’s life. He’s a senior dog, cranky at times, charming at others. He needs a firm, but kind and understanding handler and Terry is exactly what he needs. Our ongoing arrangement is working very well.”
“Highly recommend! She was incredibly detailed and responsible throughout the entire process. She even came over ahead of time for a meet-and-greet to familiarize herself with the entry process, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visits, she strictly followed all instructions to check on my two cats and provided very thorough, detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my babies!”
“I would count on Lily to watch cats because she is an indeed cat whisper. My cats looked so happy when she sent me cute pictures. She definitely went above and beyond… AGAIN! Thank you so much! 👍🏻🐈🐈⬛❤️”

Debbie was friendly, easy going, and most importantly, experienced. She was a professional through and through. As I am sure any pet owner can appreciate, it’s a little scary leaving our fur babies behind but when someone goes out of their way to assure you that they will show them love and care, you hope and trust that they will do just that. Debbie sent me videos and photos literally twice a day, and provided a little extra attention to details like making sure my senior dog was able to get up on his favorite couch to watch passersby when it became obvious he was struggling at one point. I would highly recommend Debbie.
We've just started ongoing drop-in visits with Ariana for our two dogs, and it's been great! She provides updates on how the dogs are doing and makes sure they get a potty break during our busy summer weeks. My dogs warmed up to her quickly, and she's attentive to their needs. She's great, and we look forward to having her continue our drop-in services throughout the summer!
Quynh was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She is attentive, caring, and genuinely treats them as if they were her own. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure my pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she paid close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and the love she showed my pets. Knowing they were in such capable and compassionate hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my furry family members! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my second time working with Anke and she was just as fantastic as the first time! She gives you detailed reports of her care of your pets, follows the instructions you leave, and sends lots of pictures and videos. She is friendly and flexible. I would definitely work with her again the next time I need pet care.
Rachel took very good care of our two young cats, and she handled not only the messes due to their mischief, but also an ant invasion on the cat feeder! All of that and more! She was very communicative with us throughout and I felt very comfortable being away from our furry babies, and that our home and kitties were in good hands. It allowed me to enjoy my vacation with ease.
Ni is, without a doubt, the most responsible Rover sitter we have ever had. Not only did she carefully follow all of our instructions, but she consistently went above and beyond by spending extra time playing with and cuddling our cat, Lottery. Every visit came with detailed updates, lots of photos and videos, and she even kept an eye out for things around the house that we might not have thought to check ourselves. Honestly, I think Lottery now loves Ni more than anyone besides me and my husband! Cats are the best judges of character, and Lottery’s affection is the clearest proof of how well Ni cared for him. She made him feel comfortable, happy, and loved, which in turn gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found Ni, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to care for Lottery when we’re away. Thank you, Ni—you are absolutely amazing! ❤️🐱
I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! I was impressed with her professionalism and her immediate affinity for the cats during our pre-visit, and could tell that both cats really enjoyed their playtime with her. I felt like my cats were in great hands, and would definitely contact her again if the need arises.
