“Juanyi and her husband are very caring dog sitters. My dog was very comfortable at their place as if home away from home. Juanyi is very good on keeping you informed with pictures and videos on how your dog stay is going. I am happy and looking forward to keep my dog for a longer stay soon.”
“Feng made our shy pup Toby feel comfortable right away! She gave him lots of cuddles and treats, making him feel right at home. I will book again with Feng in the future!”
“I was so impressed and pleased with Julie's stay with Rosita and Luna. Rosita's communication was impeccable. She let me know how things were going throughout the stay. And I even got a video of her reading a story to Julie! So cute. I know she was in great hands with Rosita.”
About: I care for a small group at a time so each dog gets plenty of supervision, play, and rest. I’m very patient with shy, anxious, and senior dogs, and I’m experienced with puppies—including potty routines, basic manners, and crate training support. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and I adjust care as needed. Safety and communication are a top priority for me, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, play sessions, walks, and rest periods to make sure each pet gets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I work from home, which allows me to closely supervise pets, keep them on their normal routines, and adjust care based on their energy level or needs. This consistency helps pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, and safe play in my fenced backyard, along with plenty of rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pet is well cared for.
“Ezra was AMAZING! We were traveling to visit with dog-anxious family and Ezra was able to swoop in and save us so that we could share a holiday with family. If we lived in the area, we would use her everyday! Thank you Ezra :)”
“Tiffany took such great care of Bingo! He was so comfortable and happy with her that he didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up. I was honestly surprised because he is usually very shy with new people. It made me feel so good knowing he felt safe and at home with her. I would definitely book with Tiffany again!”
“100% amazing experience all around! Jiapeng and Katelyn took wonderful care of our Yuffie girl. We got plenty of updates and pictures from the day, she had a walk and plenty of potty breaks, and had an abundant amount of play time with them and Pika! We are very satisfied with their attention and care of Yuffie and will definitely book with them again!”
About: I’ve had a pet of my own for more than 10 years and have helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I love all type of dogs from breeds to size. I have a full time corporate job that demand three days in office. I am available to assist from Thursday to Sunday. There should be plenty of play time and ability to keep your pet company. I have a pet on my own with extra crate for your pup if needed. I am experienced with walking and controlling high energy dog. My house won’t have a yard so dog will be safe within the house.
About: I’ve always had a lot of love for pets! And I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate things I like doing to my daily routine so why not take this opportunity to take care of a bunch of fur babies! Unfortunately I do not do meet and greets but I do send pictures of my yard and house so you can see where your fur babies will be staying and do calls before drop offs! I work from home and the rest of my day is pretty empty so I thought this would be a perfect distraction and a great second part time job for me! The dogs will be allowed to be inside or outside as well. I do have a big backyard for them to run around and play with fences of course for their safety!
“Melissa & Tommy are genuinely such good to honest animal loving people. We are so appreciative of their patience and calm demeanor around our furbabies. Our furbabies are a lot to handle. One of them has high anxiety to loud sounds, movements, strangers and the little one is a snuggly rascal. But Melissa & Tommy handled and cared for them with so much love. We are grateful. They also provided tons of updates. We appreciate that a lot! Thank you so much!!”
About: What sets me apart is the time, patience, and level of care I provide for each dog. I offer full-time supervision in a calm, home-style environment with a large backyard, full camera coverage, and private sleeping areas tailored to each dog’s needs. I have experience with basic dog training and puppy routines, including reinforcing house manners, leash walking, and consistent daily structure. I’m also comfortable providing senior care, such as assisting dogs with limited mobility, maintaining gentle routines, and closely monitoring their comfort and behavior. Additionally, I have experience caring for dogs with medical and special needs, including dogs undergoing cancer treatment, dogs with tumors, and amputee dogs. I understand the importance of patience, careful handling, medication schedules, and creating a low-stress environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. As a scientist working from home with a flexible schedule, I am able to seamlessly integrate dedicated pet care into my daily life. Our routine begins at 9:00 AM with breakfast and fresh water, followed immediately by free time in the backyard for playing and sunbathing. My dog rests in their room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, which allows me to focus on my work, before we transition to the evening routine with a 6:00 PM dinner and more backyard activity. I stop water intake at 8:00 PM to manage overnight needs, and after a second rest period, we end our day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, which helps us both unwind before cleaning up and going to sleep. My home is equipped with a secure fenced yard for outdoor activities and full-house surveillance cameras to ensure pets are monitored at all times. I follow a consistent routine that balances exercise with rest: the day starts with breakfast and water at 9:00 AM, followed by supervised backyard play. We have designated quiet hours in a comfortable room from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and again from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM, which prevents overstimulation. I manage hydration by stopping water intake at 8:00 PM and end the day with a dedicated one-hour night walk at 11:00 PM, ensuring your pet is clean, happy, and ready for a good night's sleep.
“Xiuhui aka Sophie is very responsive and responsible taking care of my shy, timid baby girl. Sophie takes my girl out for walks at least two times even it’s just 6-8 hours day care. Gives timely updates and pictures of my girl. Most important thing for me is that she’s punctual and flexible. I had bad experience when the sitter didn’t come out to pick up my dog on time and didn’t reply to messages or phone call for like 20 minutes because they “forget and mute my phone” then the traffic became horrible for me. Sophie replies messages in a timely fashion. Sometimes we need to drop my dog off early than scheduled, sometimes we need to pick her up late, and Sophie is all fine with that without any issues. I highly recommend her and will continue letting her take care of my baby girl.”
“Let me just say, Julie ROCKS! She has been a saving grace for me moving up here to San Jose on a quick notice! She takes great care of my 3-1/2 month old Gemma. Bring your fur kids here! Gemma would love to wrestle with them… and She has a sweet older dog and daughter who Gemma loves! I’m going to leave it at that, because to be honest I could go on and on about how pleased I am and what a help she’s been!”
“Anna took care of my 6 month old pup in daycare for the 1st time! While my pup was a bit shy, Anna was a great communicator throughout our experience. She actively sent updates and also agreed for a meet and greet as it was my pup’s first time at a daycare. Anna has outdoor space including a pool if your dog loves water.”

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.

Tiffany took such great care of Bingo! He was so comfortable and happy with her that he didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up. I was honestly surprised because he is usually very shy with new people. It made me feel so good knowing he felt safe and at home with her. I would definitely book with Tiffany again!
Juanyi and her husband are very caring dog sitters. My dog was very comfortable at their place as if home away from home. Juanyi is very good on keeping you informed with pictures and videos on how your dog stay is going. I am happy and looking forward to keep my dog for a longer stay soon.
Feng was very thorough in getting to know my Pepe. On Pepe's first day she made sure that Pepe was safe, introducing him to other dogs slowly. She provide plenty of photos and updates. She also sent me video Pepe eating his kibbles which he doesnt eat when Im giving him , Feng has tricks and shared it to me🥰 Pepe seemed very comfortable and happy under her care. Pepe enjoyed also his playmates during his stay i can tell with the videos Feng sent. Highly Recommended!
Melissa was spot-on with communication and empathy. Although her husband seemed to play a major role, I had only communicated through Melissa. Daff seemed well taken care of (plenty of photos), and was there for a VERY last minute booking. If I lived here, I'd be loyal to using them again and again :)
I’m so happy I found Alicia. To be honest, I haven’t had a great experience with past experiences on Rover. Finding someone/place to board our fur babies has been such a journey. We hardly ever board them, but when I do-I start to have anxiety. We haven’t gone on a family vacation for over a year, because we didn’t have anyone we trust in caring for them. They both just have specific needs, and Alicia has been very attentive and understanding to that. I love that she provides structured care for them. We boarded them for a day and she sent me updates and pictures of them as the day went on. Thankfully, all went well! This gave me hope and eased my worries about boarding them in the future. Thank you, Alicia!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Alum Rock commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
