“I dropped off my puppy for her first time boarding and Queenie and her dog Summer were very accommodating! She sent lots of updates + videos while we were gone and made sure to keep Kona entertained and loved while I was gone. I would definitely trust her to take care of my pup again and would recommend her to anyone else. Thanks again!”

“Mình treated Harley like he was her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily updates, including activities, meals, and plenty of adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Harley felt right at home with her. I’m so grateful for the care and love she showed him—highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”

“Olga and Boris took such great care of my dog while I was away. I honestly can’t find enough words to thank them for how well they cared for him. It was clear that they followed all the instructions I gave them, and my dog looked so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked him up. You could also tell that he really grew attached to them, and that they grew attached to him as well. That truly says a lot about what wonderful and caring people they are. I’m so grateful I found them, and I would absolutely use their services again. They did an amazing job, and I highly recommend Olga and Boris!”
About: I am a patience ,hard-working ,highly attentive ,punctual and attentive to food and clean water and dedicated dog lover who deeply cares for your furry best friend with years of experiences raising multiple different, diverse breeds such as Poodle, American Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds. Understand the rules and daily routines briefed by the owner such as meal times or prohibited items. I also live nearby a local public park that is very welcoming to dogs where I will love to take them out on walks and to play with them. I enjoy every single day as it has become part of my daily routine when I care for my own poodle 24/7. Throughout the 24 hours, I will be carefully looking after your dog's needs. Morning start early with fresh water feeding and walks exercise or outdoor potty break 30-60 mins. Midday scheduled walks30-45 mins for playtime and energy release. And final meal the day around 6.00 PM. Before bedtime a few hour I will take them outdoor potty break before sleep. Because over the years, I see that each dog has a different personality , so I have learned to understand and how to gain their trust and get along well with them. As I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience, spending time with pets is truly a pleasure. I understand this is well ,and I believe that fellow pet owners feel the same way. This is where I can step in to be a companion for your beloved pets. And most importantly , your pets will not be confined to cages, where I will take care of them as if they were in their own home. There will be space to run and play, and your dog never feel lonely.
“Juanyi is a very good host. I feel that my dog was very well taken care of. She also communicated quickly and shared photos & videos frequently. Will come back again for my future trips!”
“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“Tianou & Wei were amazing! They took on the challenge of caring for our Doberman who recently became paralyzed. It was a bit of last minute booking, they scheduled a meet and greet to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent picture and videos while I was out of town. They even bandaged her paws to prevent further scraping on her paws. They are loving and patient dog sitters. Thank you so much Tianou & Wei! We got to enjoy our trip stress free because of your help!”
“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Sein took wonderful care of Maggie over the long weekend! They kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Maggie got plenty of playtime and walks, and Sein even spent time working on her zigzagging during walks, which I really appreciated. Their apartment was clean, and their dogs were calm and friendly, making it a great environment for Maggie. I highly recommend Sein and would happily book with them again.”
“Melissa and Hyun were excellent caretakers, and I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them during my trip. They have a lot of experience with large dogs and knew exactly what questions to ask, as well as how to handle walks and feeding. I didn’t need to explain much, and they followed my instructions closely. They also kept me updated with great pictures and detailed updates, which I really appreciated. They are enthusiastic, easy to communicate with, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be back again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alum Rock
My dog stayed with loan 3 nights and I needed her to pick him up and she kindly agreed, she communicated everything and sent tons of pics and videos to make me feel at peace while I was away. She asked the right questions about my dog’s food needs and made him feel like home. Her pup is so sweet and calm and they got along really well. Both of them were the perfect company for my doggie. Thank you so much!🤍
Minh was simply amazing. She went above and beyond for our Lucy. Even on the first night of her stay there was a bit of a medical emergency and she was so helpful and accommodating. We are so, so grateful for addressing it in a timely and caring manner. She’s very communicative and gave us photo updates every day. It really helped when the whole family missed our pup. Thank you again for everything!
Juanyi was fantastic! She took incredible care of my dog, communicated regularly, and made sure everything ran smoothly while I was away. My dog has medication needs and she handled that very well. Super reliable, warm, and professional—I’ll definitely be booking them again!
We left out pup, Jomi, with Queenie for a little less than a week, and we could immediately tell how much she genuinely cared for him. She went above and beyond what we asked, even brushing his teeth and giving him delicious, nutritious treats and lots of love and pets. She also made us feel at ease while we were away by sending updates, photos, and videos. It was so reassuring to see Jomi happy and well cared for. We’d definitely leave Jomi with Queenie again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her!
This was Kiwi’s second stay and he was absolutely thrilled to see pika again. During his stay they played together, went on walks and would even fall asleep next to each other. Jiapeng and his wife are excellent sitters, they kept me updated the entire time with lots of videos and pics and always letting me know what kiwi is up to for the day.
This was my first time boarding my pup, so I was definitely a little nervous in the beginning. However, after doing a meet and greet with Thuong, I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her hands. She was very communicative and sent regular photos and videos, I could tell she really cared and treated my pup like her own. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!
We have nothing but great things to say about Valerie. We have a high energy 1 year old Corgi who's never been with a sitter before. When we reached out to Valerie - she heard all our details and agreed to sit him. The way she took care of him was just amazing. It was like she knew him all along and made it so seamless. She kept sending us updates that made us comfortable. Highly recommend her
Teddie always has the best time at Vy’s house! I honestly can’t remember how many times Teddie has stayed here, but every single time has been such a great experience. They provide frequent updates and send pictures every day, which gives me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciate how flexible they are with pick-up and drop-off times, even when it’s super early or really late. Teddie is always so happy and comfortable here — we’re so grateful to have found them!
I had such a great experience with Natia! She was so kind, caring, and communicative throughout Nova’s stay, and she kept me updated so I always knew how she was doing. You can really tell that Natia genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Nova with her. Nova seemed so happy and well taken care of when I picked her up, which meant so much to me. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust and will definitely be booking with Natia again! 🐶💕
First time booking with Melissa and Hyun and I highly recommend them! ! They were reliable, caring, and made me feel completely at ease with leaving Akuma in their care! They kept me updated with photos and messages, so I knew my dog was getting plenty of attention. 10/10 experience! :D
Feng was an amazing Rover host! They took wonderful care of my pet and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pet came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Feng was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay.Our dog Kona got along very well with her dog Bang bang, and kept our dog company during his stay, that also made it easier for our dog to adjust, I highly recommend Feng to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I would happily book with them again, Thank you again Feng for taking such good care of Kona!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alum Rock home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alum Rock.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alum Rock sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
