House Sitting in Portola Valley

Amara was a fantastic pet sitter for my chihuahua -- right away my dog felt comfortable with her. Amara is responsible, attentive to the needs of my dog and my requests around her care. She sent me photos and videos of Gigi and kept me informed on how she was doing. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

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.

This is the third time we’ve worked with Katie, and we came home to a super happy group of animals! The house is clean and even the plants are well watered :) thanks Katie

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond for us. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares deeply about the animals (and families) he helps. Our pets were clearly so loved while we were away and he took such great care of our home as well. He’s kind, reliable, and just an all around wonderful person. We will absolutely book him again for future trips!

Michele had excellent communication, pictures and diligence. Highly recommend!

Brittany immediately gained the affection of one of our cats and was very patient and gentle enough to gain the affection of cat number 2, who is suspicious of new people. Brittany left the house very clean and well cared for.

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!!

Julie Mae is the best! My pup is so excited to see her, full body wags and dolphin jumps just at the sight of her coming up the walk. She takes wonderful care of Mycroft, letting her get her energy out or just nap, depending what she needs that day. Mycroft always comes out of a day with Juke Mae happy, tired, and better behaved—whether that be walking more calmly in her leash or obeying her commands more consistently. I highly recommend Julie Mae, and I’ll keep calling her whenever we need a sitter.

Great with my young puppy and very easy to communicate with!

Elvira did a fantastic job and my dogs both loved her! She was super attentive and took great care of them. She spent a lot of time with them, and sent regular updates. She was also very neat and tidy, and it was a great experience oberall

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!

Thiri was an amazing sitter! She took excellent care of our two cats and dog while house sitting for us. One of our cats is elderly and requires medication, and Thiri handled it with no problem at all. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her! We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such capable hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Hannah is extremely communicative. She was accommodating in setting up a trial night to make sure everyone would be comfortable when I went away on a longer trip. During my trip, my dog got into some melatonin gummies and Hannah handled it like a champ. She did everything I would have to make sure everything was okay medically, and gave me all of the information I needed to make sure I felt like the site was being handled. I would hire Hannah again
