“Prior to booking for my dog, I scheduled a video call for a meet and greet with Yingjia. From our conversation, Yingjia was very kind, friendly, and patient. More importantly, I was worried about my dog’s anxiety but Yingjia assured me with her understanding about dog’s anxious behaviors. My dog had a fantastic stay! for some reason my dog’s anxiety level went down, which I think it must be a miracle, as if my dog thought I never left her. Thank you Yingjia for providing my dog with a comfortable environment and keeping her happy! Will definitely book again next time.”
“Thanks Valerie for watching Wallie again! Wallie usually takes a couple days to settle in a new environment, and Valerie stayed closer to Wallie in the living room overnight to help him settle in!”
“Ghazal took excellent care of my princess! She took the time to get to know Cleo and then the two of them bonded really well. Ghazal ensured that cleo was walked, fed, and given medicine at the schedules times and also accommodated her specific sleep routine to make her feel safe. I was updated on her activities and sent plenty of pictures - I felt relaxed knowing that my pup was happy and safe. I’ve already referred her to friends. She’s just great!”
“Shelby had a great time with them. She was well loved. We received daily updates with pictures. We’d recommend them and will rebook when needed. Thank you!”
“Tofu had his first sleep over at Dawns and he clearly was having the best time of his life. I always feel at ease when Tofu is with Dawn! She’s our go to boarding sitter and day care sitter too! Tofu always comes back completely spent, he’s a happy boy everytime we take him to Dawn’s. Thank you Dawn!!”
“Leah’s has become our little Poppy’s second home. 🥹 She gets excited when we pack up her crate because she knows she’ll get to enjoy and play with the other dogs in Leah’s care. We know this is a paid service so it’s only right that Leah and her family took good care of Poppy, but they always went the extra mile for her and made her feel at home. (We can tell by the pics of her lounging in beds that aren’t hers 😂) We’re also so thankful of how easy it is to modify bookings when we had last-minute changes due to travel delays/changes. Thank you, Leah and family!! 💖 We couldn’t have asked for better caretakers for our Poppy! 😊🫶”
“Kelly was great with our cats, Honey and Luna! She sent daily updates and the cats seemed to really like her- they tend to be pretty shy , but she did a fantastic job of getting them to come out of their shells.”
“We had such a great experience with Cecilia and Ethan! I was honestly a little nervous at first since I had never used Rover before or had strangers care for our dogs, especially since one of our dogs requires daily medication. We decided to do an initial meet-and-greet beforehand so we could get to know Cecilia and Ethan and make sure they were the right fit, and I’m so glad we did! I shared a detailed care guide with them, and they followed everything to a tee. They were incredibly responsible, attentive, and responsive throughout our entire trip. They also went above and beyond by taking our dogs out to the lake and even to Monterey! We received lots of photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs basically had a little vacation of their own! 🥹 It’s very clear that Cecilia and Ethan genuinely care about dogs and put a lot of thought into making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be going with Cecilia and Ethan again the next time we need someone to care for our dogs. Highly recommend them! 🐶♥️”
“Shavonne was a great sitter. Responsive and flexible. My dog came home so happy and chill like she'd just spent time hanging out with her best friend and was ready for a nap!”
“Ok, so I've been using Rover for a few years now. Yahui is our 3rd dog sitter person. I've been happy with all of them. The 2nd guy, we used for years, but maybe he moved, because he's inactive now. But ... Yahui is by far my favorite. Hard to explain, but she has a real understanding/empathy towards our dog. In our family, I am low man on the totem pole, for our dog's preference. Even though I give her the most people food, and that I was the guy who actually adopted her. But she's a female dog, so she gravitates to my daughter and wife over my son and me. 😁 I was honestly a little afraid that after having spent a week with Yahui, that she might not want to come home with me. *That's* how highly I think of Yahui as a petsitter. She is fantastic, and we'll definitely use her again. 👍👍👍”
“Tracy and her husband were gentle and caring with Princess, ensuring that she felt welcome, safe, and comfortable in their home. They provided regular updates on meals and potty breaks, including pictures and the occasional silly video. Thank you for opening up your home, I will use you in the future”
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“I had my adorable Nisco short hair with Siqin and everything went without hitch. It was urgent short notice and Siqin was able to accomodate all the way for two weeks, appreciate that.! When she not available, her husband also jumped in and provide all necessary case. Therefore, I'd fully recomm all along :) as long as they stay in business :)”
“Thanks so much to Dapeng for boarding my dog last minute for almost 3 days! Dapeng is very responsive, with fun updates and pics daily via Rover messaging. He is friendly and mature. Scottie met another dog, and came home relaxed and happy. His food bowl was clean too!”
“When our regular sitter wasn’t available for the last night of our vacation, Christy and Cornell came to the rescue. Zoey was very happy and cared for at pickup and they were great communicators!”
“Thank you, Jie and George for taking such great care of Skeeter today! I'm amazed by how much time you spent with playing him, walking him and giving him treats. He's completely knocked out now after such a busy day with you! And, thank you also for the constant communication on how he was doing. I really appreciated the photos and videos!”
“Guava really enjoyed her stay with Judy and we even got some tips on training her. I have already booked another stay with Judy. We got plenty of pics and videos during the stay and I am very happy with how the reservation turned out.”
“Soyoung was amazing. We have a dog that's never been comfortable with anyone other than our family, and a week in, she had gotten comfortable with Soyoung and her daughters. She sent us photos every day and stayed in communication with us. She truly loved our dogs in addition to taking good care of them. We feel lucky to have found her and will definitely be back!”
“Shruti and her husband boarded our fur baby for the first time this week. Charli (our fur baby) had an amazing time with them and the other dogs. I received daily updates and pictures from Shruti. Their place is spacious and has a great backyard. Will definitely use them again! Shruti was very professional and prepared us well for Charli’s stay. Thank you Shruti!”

Ghazal is great, she’s super flexible as well with our time change. We had peace of mind leaving Tofu with her. Communication and coordination were seamless, and she followed all care instructions carefully. She made everything easy and stress-free, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Would have given more stars if possible. Kenzo found a home away from home. Che and Aurora are so good with him, they followed all our instructions , gave amazing updates with photos and videos. I never had a chance to worry that I was away and how was kenzo doing. They are my go to.🌟🌟🌟
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Karen on Rover! Karen was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept us constantly updated, sent regular photos, and shared every single moment with us, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog Nacho typically struggles with anxiety, but he had the best time with Karen. From the very moment we first met her, we immediately felt her warmth, care, and trustworthiness. Seeing Nacho come home so calm, happy, and well cared for was the best feeling ever. We cannot recommend Karen enough and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for everything, Karen! 😇
I just moved to the Bay area and it was difficult to find a dog daycare to board my reactive dog. Luckily we would Eunjoo. She made my dog feel so comfortable during the time that I was away. She sent many videos, photos, and updates of how my dog was doing. She was accommodating and responded fast. Definitely would book again! 🙂
Shreeja was great with Kobe! She was very attentive and made sure he kept his day to day routine. She also checked in regularly and sent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Kobe seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book her again!
Surbhi was an absolute rockstar host for my dog, Scooby! They kept him busy with all his favorite fun activities and sent the cutest picture updates throughout his stay. It is so clear they are true pet lovers. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!
Tofu had his first sleep over at Dawns and he clearly was having the best time of his life. I always feel at ease when Tofu is with Dawn! She’s our go to boarding sitter and day care sitter too! Tofu always comes back completely spent, he’s a happy boy everytime we take him to Dawn’s. Thank you Dawn!!
Soomin I has twice taken care of my little girl. She’s response quickly to inquires and sent daily updates with pictures. The first time she took care of my little girl, she was wearing a split because her leg was fractured, and Soomin took great care of her. I highly recommend Soomin.
Jennifer helped out when I was traveling and my current sitter decided that watching my dog was an inconvenience. She was responsive, worked me to arrange a drop off and sent pictures through out the stay as well as notes on how he was doing, he seemed to go on lots of walks and slept most of the time. My dog was in good spirits when I picked him up.
Theresa has watched my miniature dachshund, Millie, several times. She is always super accommodating and flexible with pickup and drop off times. She sends updates and photos of Millie’s stay. I am always sure Millie is in great hands when staying with Theresa and family! Would recommend!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Alviso can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Alviso 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 Alviso.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alviso. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Alviso 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
