Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.

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.

Chelsea was great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she made us feel comfortable being away from our fur baby. She also went above and beyond keeping us updated through texts and pictures while we were away. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend ❤️

About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.

I lucked out finding Ian on Rover. This was my first time leaving my dog overnight with someone I didn’t know and, from the very beginning, Ian made me feel at ease. They stayed at my home and took excellent care of my dog while I was away, sending me several pictures and updates every day.

About: My husband and I have been our friends and family's designated cat and dog sitter for years. We understand the unique personality of each pet and do our best to provide the best care tailored to your furry baby. We can accomodate pick up time and drop off time between: 8am - 11:30 pm. My husband works from home and I works from home half of the time so we have plenty of time to care for your baby. We usually take two -three walks per day. We can add in more walks if your baby needs more potty breaks. The dogs/cats have free roam of our two bedrooms apt so they can hang out/play with us. We live in an apt building with a dog park right around the corner. We do not have pets at home and are only taking in one dog (with the exception of dogs from the same household) at a time so that we can give your pup the attention he/she needs. P.s. 我可以说中文

Victoria was fantastic with Piggy and Toast. She was kind, reliable, a great communicator, and sent us lovely photo updates while we were away. The dogs clearly adored her, and we came home to an incredibly tidy house. We’re so happy we found her and would absolutely book her again!

About: I have been cat and dog sitting since I was 16! I have experience walking and pet sitting for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s animals. I also grew up with dogs so I am very comfortable with all ages and sizes of animals! I have experience volunteering at the Wisconsin Humane Society from college so I have formal dog walking training! I just finished a contract working at Stanford and have some extra time in my day now. I am big on taking my daily walks outside and any pet can join me! Other than exercising I spend most of my day doing work and reading being a couch potato. I always try to work with the pets routine and stay flexible. I am big on making the pets comfortable (usually with treats and floor time) around me. I like to spend time with pets in their home before taking them on walks or letting them out. I can follow any rules set and any training that needs to be enforced as well.

Katie is amazing!!! We were nervous leaving Penny for the first time but Katie sent so many updates, pictures, and videos which helped put us at ease. Penny had a wonderful time staying with her and got lots of snuggles, attention, and play time. Penny loved Katie & her boyfriend so much!! We totally reccomend booking with her & will definitely re-book the next time we need a sitter.

Zoe has taken care of our cute but not so easy dogs a few times. She is trustworthy, reliable and really lovely with our two rowdy doggies. She has a lot of experience and let’s you know what works and what doesn’t. I have no concerns having her stay in our house and leaving her alone with our dogs during our travels. We are super happy with Zoe and our dogs love her!

About: I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~ Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :) I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.

Kristin exceeded every expectation—constant care, genuine engagement with my dog, a perfect routine, and a truly happy, very active dog. I found Kristin after a very thorough search, as it is absolutely essential to me that my dog is not left alone for more than a very short time. She not only respected that—she exceeded every expectation. A big part of my dog’s happiness is her walks, and Kristin took her on long, frequent walks every day. Just as important—if not more—is her feeding routine, which is central to her happiness. She has four main meals per day, plus a small supper and treats in between. I typically combine meals with training and play, and Kristin followed this routine exactly and with great care. Kristin truly engaged with my dog—playing with her both indoors and outdoors, grooming her, and even having her sleep in bed with her at night. She also sent me photos every day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in ways I did not expect—she even bought my dog a new toy and a bag of treats, which says a lot about how much she genuinely cares. I returned to an exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. My dog is very perceptive, and it was immediately clear that she had formed a strong bond with Kristin—they were practically inseparable during the stay. On top of that, the house was left very clean and in perfect condition, with everything exactly as I left it. I would trust Kristin again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, providing companionship, and following their regular feeding and care routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and happy while they’re away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care. As a college student home for summer with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I can provide loving leadership for your dog that is consistent and reliable. I love dogs but I’m not allowed to have pets where I live so I’m excited for the opportunity to help with your dog(s). I work full time from Monday-Friday in the office (9am-5:30pm) but if you’re in the Menlo Park area I can drop in during my lunch. I can go for morning and evening walks, along with trips to the dog park if you want to socialize your dog. My weekends are totally free so I have ample time to spend them to train, socialize and keep your dog company. Dogs need structure and a safe space to feel confident. With my own dog, she had a kennel and a dedicated space where she can decompress but also find ways to get energy out. I’d keep that same energy for all my clients! I’d foster a place of structure and training along with balancing play when it is time.

Maria was fantastic! After our pet sitter fell through, she was available last minute with only a few days' notice. She watched our dog Shortbread, for 5 days while we were away and she provided regular updates/was super responsive. It was clear from the photos that she and Shortbread had a great time!
