House Sitting in Portola Valley

Katie was phenomenal! We’re always anxious trying a new sitter, but she was organized, super communicative, and excellent with our pets. She spent tons of time with them and took the cutest pics. Katie even left little report cards for them! She left our home in excellent condition and we will definitely be booking again :) thanks Katie!

Cordigen is a great pet/house sitter….for quick overnights or long stays. So happy to have found her!

Genevieve did a fantastic job caring for our cat. Genevieve Is great at communicating, is very kind, and very generous.

Ian was fantastic!! Our dog is going through a rough patch with very rigorous medicine and feeding schedules, and Ian handled everything so well. They continued to update us throughout the day with professionalism and care, and we will definitely be booking them again!

Chelsea sent great pictures of my cat! It felt great to see a variety of pics so I had an idea of how she was interacting with the cat. They looked very cozy together, which was heartwarming.

Stephen was extremely caring, considerate, and detail oriented with our dog Willow. He sent many photos, took her on many walks, and kept us in the loop with great communication. He is an expert when it comes to making your dog feel comfortable and loved.

Another great stay! Happy to have our pups well taken care of while we’re gone. Photo updates and communications much appreciated!!

Austin regularly goes above and beyond while taking care of our dog Cleo. He is so patient with her and always send lots of photos and videos while we are away helping to ease our minds. Our dog is so picky with who she gets along with and she adores Austin which says everything!

Ciara provided great care for my dog in my home, while I was on a long travel vacation. She communicates well and regularly sent me notes and pictures via the Rover app. She also asked appropriate questions for information about my dog regarding behavior issues and situations as they came up. It was raining a lot of the time, and she met the challenge of exercising my dog and keeping her happy in spite of the wet weather. Ciara took direction and suggestions I provided with a positive attitude and took initiative to report back to me on outcomes and how things were going. Ciara also appropriately handled a home repair situation that came up, with my help/advice from a distance. She took good care of my house plants, collected my mail, and was proficient in general cleaning and routine house maintenance. Taking my dog to the vet for nails trimming, giving routine oral medication, and other care tasks were completed on schedule. I’ve found Ciara to be very reliable, conscientious, and trustworthy. She’s also very nice and easy to communicate with; I would definitely hire her again. An overall excellent caregiver!

Really helped me out by coming last minute to sit with my new puppy all day. Kept her company and out of trouble, and gave me peace of mind.

John is the pet sitter you are looking for!! So many special qualities to share. He took excellent care of my 2 dogs getting to know them and ensuring they ate, had regular walks and some play time. They were content when I came home. Also John goes above and beyond to leave the house spotless and in excellent order. He communicates frequently. I am so grateful.

This was our second house sitting experience with Colin. We were happy with his attention and kindness to our "baby" . Colin communicated well with us whenever we asked any questions. He was kind to send us several action shots of our boy during our time away. We loved that. Thanks again, Colin! Hope we see you again!

Mike has been excellent!! We are new to doggie ownership and Rover. Mike took care of our pup (w some special needs) during our vacation. He kept us up to date e photos and notes throughout our trip! Will be requesting his professional and caring help again!!

Marina did an amazing job housesitting. The pets were happy and healthy when I returned, she was very attentive the whole time, sent me pictures and kept me updated, and overall was a wonderful pet sitter! She was flexible when I needed to extend the stay which was a lifesaver. I also really appreciated how clean she left the apartment, it was spotless. Amazing experience.
