“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”

“Hey, Leah took good care of my coco like her own pet. Received pictures and sometimes videos everyday. I would keep coco with her in future and also recommend her to my friends for sure.”

“Hands down one of the best Rovers I’ve used. Very communicative and friendly, great stimulation for my dog while I was away on an extended trip. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants their pet to have the utmost care and love while away from home. A+ and an easy 5 star rating.”


“Our baby Axel had a wonderful experience. We were getting pictures every day which made us feel good. He came back home a happy dog from all the interactions he had.”

“Thank you, Malika, for taking care of Cookie. She sent me updates with pictures every day and followed the care instructions very well. Cookie seemed happy while staying there. I will use your service again!”
“I am so glad we found Sofiya! She takes such good care of our now 5 month old Riley. We recently had to leave her for several nights, and Sofiya kept us updated every morning with how she’s doing and pictures. It really helped ease my mind about being away from our young puppy.”

“Our dog spent another long weekend with Boris and Olga and I feel like he had the best weekend! They took him on a hike and it feels like they really treated him like their own. Great communication. Lots of photos. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Would absolutely use again!”

“Julie and Anthony were awesome. They were able to watch our pup last minute, which was a huge help. They sent a lot of pictures. We felt completely comfortable with Luna staying there. If we are ever in San Jose, we will be reaching out to them again!”

“This was our puppy’s very first time being boarded, and I was honestly quite nervous at the beginning. Queenie&Yu-Chieh made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from the start — she asked thoughtful questions about his routine, food, and quirks, and throughout the stay she sent lots of photos and updates so we always knew how he was doing. Our puppy is still young and full of energy, which definitely means extra work (potty breaks, training, supervision, etc.), but she handled him with so much patience and kindness. Her home is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, and her own dog Summer was gentle and welcoming with our boy. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with her and her home. We’re very grateful to have found Queenie & Yu-Chieh and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a dog boarding for the first time — she truly made us feel safe and well taken care of.”


“Matthew was very responsive and provided a lot of timely updates. We have a senior large dog and he was very accommodating with the complications that came with taking care of our dear senior girl. We’d definitely rebook if needed.”

“TR was great and attentive for our cat! They seemed to have bonded quite a bit based on the daily photos and updates over two weeks! I felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely recommend her as a great sitter.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and dedicated dog sitter than Qi. From the very beginning, she demonstrated genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism in looking after our beloved dog, Bear. It was immediately clear that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Qi went above and beyond to ensure Bear was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm nature truly set her apart. When we returned, Bear was relaxed, content, and clearly had formed a bond with her—a true testament to the exceptional level of care she provides. We are incredibly grateful for Qi and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional in pet care. Thank you so much, Qi! We are hoping to book with you again soon, I know Bear can’t wait to see you again!”

“Oobleck had a wonderful stay with Michael getting daily walks, lots of belly rubs and scratches. Michael took great care of Oobie and I’ll definitely book him again for a future stay. Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”

“Incredible Experience with Yifei! Highly Recommend! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a bit nervous, especially since it was all very last-minute. But Yifei completely put my mind at ease. From the very first moment, she was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible—she was able to fit us in and even allowed us to pick up our puppy, Katsu, in the early morning, which was a huge help! Yifei kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, and it was so comforting to see Katsu so happy and engaged. Usually, my puppy is a bit hesitant with new people, but when he first met Yifei, he didn’t even look back at me! I could tell he felt completely safe and at ease with her, and I think he was probably having so much fun with the other dogs that he didn’t want to come home! On top of all that, Yifei was super easy to communicate with when Katsu accidentally left behind some of his things. She was quick to respond and made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Yifei enough! She’s an absolute gem, and I felt 100% confident that my 10-month-old puppy was in great hands. If you're looking for a kind, reliable, and wonderful sitter, look no further—Yifei is your person!”


“We just picked up our 10 years old border collie Lucky after a 6 day 5 nights stay. It is a pity the highest rating is only 5 stars, to Lucky, Juanyi's service is 10 stars. My border collie does not like strangers in the beginning, but he allows Juanyi pet him in just a few hours. I could see from many pictures and videoes that my boy enjoys the friendship from Kaka, Panda and other lovely guests, also enjoys the love from Juanyi. I feel my boy is having a great vacation of his own too. I always hesitate to sign up family vacation because find a reliable dog sitter is often a difficult task, the last 3 dog sitter we used were moved or no longer offer service. I am glad we found Juanyi and the experience is so great. I read every review when i look for any kind of service, and by the time we book the service, there was only one review, to be honest i was a bit uncertain. During the met and greet, we walked around the neighborhood together, I was so glad Lucky quickly developped friendship with Kaka and Panda, and the drop off session was also great, which allow me to join the family vacation. We will definitely book with Juanyi again for our future vacations, and recommend to every pet parents, my Lucky was treated like Juanyi's own, yours will too!❤️”
“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”
“Megha and her husband do a wonderful job watching our dog Momo. They sent us many photos and updates, and were very considerate about momo's reactivities (food). I will definitely drop Momo off with them again, as he and Barfi had a wonderful time together. Thank you again!!!”

Flora and her husband took wonderful care of our dog, Benji! While we were out of the country, Flora kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. They treated Benji with so much love, kindness, and understanding. It was clear that he felt safe and happy in their care. I'm sure Benji would be excited to stay with them again. Highly recommend!

Our dogs have stayed with John a few times now, and every time has been great! John is wonderful with the dogs. He ensures they get walks, one of our dogs requires medication multiple times a day and John always makes sure she gets her meds, and most of all, our dogs are clearly happy when they stay with him! One of our dogs, Dakota, she is very attached to us and doesn’t always get excited to stay at new or different places, but when she sees us pulling up to John’s house, she hops out of the car and runs to his front door. Highly recommend John!

We had a wonderful experience with Queenie who took excellent care of D2 making sure he was comfortable and well looked after while we were attending an event overnight. We came all the way from Austin TX to san jose and purely chose Queenie based on the reviews and it was worth it. She sent us plenty of photos and kept us well informed. Highly recommend!!

Tosha was an amazing sitter! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time with plenty of photos and messages. My dog had a wound and some swelling in his paws, and she was very attentive and made sure he was well taken care of. He was happy, comfortable, and in great shape when I picked him up. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Son to care for our dog, Joy, while we are away. He took very good care of him, and gave him lots of walks and cuddles! He is one of the very few people on here who seem to be doing this purely out of love for animals and it shows in the way he cares for them. We highly, wholeheartedly recommend Son! :-)
