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. I’m currently a student at UC Irvine with availability after classes on most days, as well as full availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy using my free time to stay active. I especially miss having animals in my daily life, so I’m excited to spend time visiting and caring for pets whenever possible. 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!

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.

About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 14. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, and even my neighbors furry companions! I have experience taking care of Senior dogs as well as dogs that have more special needs. I am a confident caretaker and hope to be trusted to take care of your fur babies and provide them with as much comfort as possible! I’m currently working full time at a doggie daycare in San Jose so I get to work with dogs all the time. That doesn’t stop me from wanting to help out and look after your furry friends as well! I’m very flexible and i’ll make sure to make the time to give your pet the attention and care that they need. :) I love to get your pup out in the sun to get some fresh air and exercise. Nothing more healing than the sun! Nearby parks or specific routes that they enjoy ensures that they are comfortable while you are away. I always make sure to play with them so they can get some energy out while having the fun they need. Although a pup will soon get tired and so while they nap I of course give them the much needed rest and space.

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.

Lily did an amazing job looking after Prince when I needed a last-minute sitter! He is shy around new people, but Lily took the time to meet him beforehand and they quickly became good friends. While Prince is usually fine on his own, he had such great interactions with Lily that I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lily, but she was a great cat whisperer for sure! 😊

Rachel helped us out with a last-minute booking to check in our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. This was our first time working with Rachel, and we so appreciated how quickly she understood and jumped into this new environment with new clients and new pets. Rachel was very quick to respond via Rover, responsible, and gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands. Thanks again!

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!

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! ❤️🐱

She has cared for our cats before, and we had zero hesitation rebooking her. What sets Sarit apart is her incredible attention to detail and her genuine love for animals.
