“Mae was very happy with Mario. He sent pictures and let me know how she was doing during the day. She got to spend a lot of time outside playing and she ran to him the second morning.”
“Yu-Liang and Yi-Ting were great sitters for our dog, Micro. They were very communicative prior to the booking to make sure they would be able to accommodate her needs. During the booking they updated us daily and sent beautiful pictures. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: As a Rover client, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is in experienced and responsible hands. I spent 15 years fostering for rescue and caring for shelter dogs. From 2000 to 2015 I fostered and provided care for dozens of dogs with Pug Rescue of Sacramento (PROS), specializing in small-to-medium breeds, special needs, puppies, seniors, and sensitive/traumatized temperaments in need of TLC and patience. I also volunteered for two years with the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA as a pet photographer and TLC activity provider, spending dedicated one-on-one time enriching shelter dogs' lives. From hyperactive puppies to seniors with special needs, I have cared for them all! I'm a semi retired museum consultant and I set my own hours, so I'm very flexible. I have been a dog parent since 1997. I can't imagine life without dogs and love being outdoors and walking as much as possible, all day long, even in the rain. I currently have a friendly 5-year-old Pomeranian who enjoys our secure fenced backyard and playing with other dogs. Pets are not left unattended in the yard because there is a swimming pool, but we go outside every one to two hours. Safety First! Your pup’s safety is my priority. On walks, I am highly alert to traffic, bikes, off-leash dogs, and hazards to keep your dog secure. Positive, Mindful Care I use positive reinforcement (praise, patience, and approved treats) and am attuned to canine body language, easily spotting signs of anxiety. Flexible & Full Service Available all day for flexible walks, drop-ins, and daycare. I can also offer reliable transport and low-scent baths for sensitive pups. Photo Updates As a former shelter photographer and past Rover client, you’ll get social-media-worthy photo updates and clear communication after every visit! Tailored for Every Pace • High Energy: Long walks, jogging, and chase sessions in my secure yard. • Senior & Special Needs: I have lots of experience with elderly dogs and can provide gentle handling, oral/injectable medications, and dog stroller rides for fresh air without fatigue.
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Kaitlyn was a fantastic sitter! She sent us multiple photo/video updates every day during our trip, so we always knew what Ripley was up to. We felt so reassured that Ripley was having fun time hanging out with Sammie. We would definitely book with Kaitlyn again!”
“I sound like a broken record but what can I say? Allison is the best! My sister and I don’t feel safe leaving my dog with anyone but Allison. Stewie can be bit handful and needy but Allison and her merry band of dogs (Buster, Bochy and whoever else is in her care) keep him busy, care for him and make him happy. Thanks Allison. Til next time!”
“I came to Thiago from Leticia! It was kind of a last minute booking and Thiago was quick to reply. Tito had a blast, and I could see it from the pictures sent :) Will definitely book again when possible.”
“Kelly kept our dogs safe and happy during our time away. She provided frequent updates, photos and videos so we could see our pups enjoying all of their daily activities with her. She was very quick to reply if we had any questions or concerns. She maintained our dogs’ regular schedule and they adjusted easily to their stay with Kelly without any issues. Her place is super clean so we weren’t worried about our dogs getting into anything dangerous. When our trip was unexpectedly cut short for reasons unrelated to the pups, Kelly took the initiative to contact Rover and modify our booking so we wouldn’t be charged for the days we originally booked but were no longer using. We will definitely book with Kelly again for our next trip!”
“Stephen was wonderful with Sophie. She was not feeling to great when we had to leave for a wedding, but Stephen keep us up-to-date everyday and took good care of her. When we returned we found a happy and healthy Sophie. Thank you Stephen!”
“Kitty and Vivian are our family's regular caregiver of Cooper and Cocoa. Kitty takes the time to know our pups and their personalities and has known them since they were pups. We trust our fur babies with Kitty more than anyone and are so grateful to have her in our lives. Thank you so much for your loving care of our pups. Without you we would not be able to leave town with peaceful minds knowing our babies are taken care of.”
“Like before Arani and Nupur took really good care of corki. They made sure he ate food and took him out on regular walks. I would recommend them to anyone looking to board their pets”
“Andy and his family took really good care of our dog. He sent us photos throughout the stay and even took our dog to relax outside at a coffee shop. I highly recommend Andy as a sitter.”
“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.”
“Marie was amazing with Kilo! She sent frequent photo updates and made me feel totally at ease while I was away. It was clear she truly cared for him, and Kilo absolutely loved her. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Suey was great! She was very flexible with our chaotic schedule, and she handled Ginger Ann very well. Our dog typically has separation anxiety and can be a handful, so Suey was a big relief.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlingame
Leeeun is the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! She took care of our dog Gnocchi as lovingly as if he were her part of her own family. She not only followed all the detailed instructions we provided, but also went above and beyond, taking him on extra walks and adventures and helping him stay active. She provided detailed updates and numerous photos every day that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. Her response time was always extremely quick. She also bathed him, and when Gnocchi returned home his fur was perfectly clean and well groomed. It’s clear that he was loved and given the utmost attention and care. We could not recommend Leeeun more highly for taking care of your dog!
Alice was wonderful with our 14year old dog, Winnie. We usually have a sense of how Winnie was treated by the way she behaves when she comes home from her boarding experiences. Winnie came back calm and did not act differently from before she went to Alice's home. On previous stays with some other hosts, Winnie had appeared terrified when we picked her up. Alice sent us daily updates, along with pictures and videos throughout Winnie's stay. It was wonderful. We will definitely have Winnie be taken care of by Alice in the future.
We have boarded our 9-month old labradoodle puppy with Ainsley for two weekends, and she had done some drop-in visits as well. It is clear that our puppy really likes hanging out with Ainsley. Ainsley has been very responsive on Rover, organized and on time. She is very experienced with animals and has a great space for boarding, including a fenced-in yard. We will definitely board our puppy with Ainsley again!
We had a great experience with Yijiu! She was super responsive, kind, and very attentive to Leo. It was clear that she took great care of him, and Leo had such a fun time playing with her family. She was also very detail-oriented and kept us updated throughout his stay. We would definitely book with her again!
Winnie and boba were so welcoming to Mercy and took great care of her even though she can be very shy and aloof at first. They made her feel comfortable and she clearly had a great time. Thank you Frankie also for loving on her and playing with her! Winnie had great communication and sent me photos and videos daily and took Mercy on a lot of hikes and walks. I can’t recommend them enough ☺️!
Ivana was the best! The only reason I gave her 5 stars is because 6 was not available. She went above and beyond with ensuring my puppy was properly eating and even sent pictures about a potential skin issue. She also was very generous with pictures and videos and keeping me informed on what my puppy was doing. I can't recommend her enough.
I had such a wonderful experience leaving Pichu with Valerie and Rich while I was traveling to New York. Pichu can be a little anxious and takes some time to feel comfortable with new people, so I’m always very particular about who I leave her with. Valerie and Rich were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with her, and I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such caring hands. Valerie kept me updated while I was away, was always responsive, and most importantly, I could tell Pichu felt safe and comfortable with them. It gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, which is really all you can ask for. I’m so grateful to have found Valerie and Rich and would absolutely trust them with Pichu again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for genuinely caring, responsible people to look after their dog.
This is Kyra's third time staying with Camille and we couldn't be happier. We received lots of updates throughout her stay, and it was clear that she felt right at home under Camille's care. We felt completely at ease during our trip knowing that not only was Kyra content, but she was also getting a lot of love and attention. They went on lots of adventures together, and we got great pictures to reassure us that she was settling in well and enjoying herself. We feel so lucky to have found Camille and will definitely book again!
Lauri is the BEST! She spent time getting to know us, our dog and learned our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt loved and comfortable during her boarding stay, sent lots of pictures and updates. Lauri is highly professional, prepared to handle any/all situations and you can really tell she loves what she does. She should get 10 stars. Thank you Lauri!!! XOXO :)
Eric and Sally are amazing! They went above and beyond to send us pictures, give updates, and keep us posted on how my dogs were doing. More than anything, I appreciate how kind and understanding they were with our dogs, which isn’t always easy. We could tell how kind and sweet were with our dogs, which was reassuring as this was the first time we left them with anyone besides family. Sally and Eric made us feel so assured and confident that our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. We appreciate them so much and hope to book with them again in the future!
Our dog Izzy stayed with Brandon for 12 nights, which was the longest we've ever been away from her. Brandon sent us daily photos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. He gave Izzy lots of attention and made her feel at home, which gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We'd definitely book with Brandon again.

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.
92% of sitters in Burlingame 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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame.
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 Burlingame. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Burlingame 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.
