“Michael was great! I left my dog Echo with him for 3 days and he took care of Echo who seemed to really enjoy Michael’s house and yard. Michael sent daily updates and photos, and my dog was in super happy spirits when I picked him up, so I know he enjoyed his time at Michael’s! Highly recommend and I will use Michael again next time.”


“Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!”


“My dog loves Anne because she’s so caring and loving to him and made him feel so comfortable just like in his own home. I would highly recommend Anne and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”


“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!”


“It looked like Ellie had a great time with Jenisa and family. Jenisa’s dog and Ellie got along great - that was one of the things that helped me engage Jenisa for the boarding experience - it would be a good doggie social experience for Ellie. I appreciated the photos and texts showing how things were going. Happy with the experience!”


“William and his wife watched our golden retriever, Penny, while we were away for the holidays, and she had a great time! We loved getting photos of her on walks and playing with other dogs. We had to switch the agreement to have William drop Penny off and they were accommodating to that change! Thanks again!”

“Deborah is the best. She takes such loving my Pepper. He has the best time with her, taking long walks around town and in the neighborhood. I know he has so much fun snuggling with her and hanging out. And I am so comfortable, knowing he is in such good hands.”


“We had a great experience boarding our golden retriever with Andrea for four nights. Before the stay, we did a meet and greet with her and her dog Tilly, and right away we felt completely comfortable. Andrea was warm, professional, and it was clear she really knows and loves dogs. Our dog and Tilly got along great from the start — they became fast play buddies and kept each other entertained the whole time. It made such a difference knowing he wasn’t just being looked after, but actually having fun and getting lots of attention. Andrea kept us updated with messages and photos, and we could tell our dog was happy and relaxed. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.”


“Annie was simply fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, jojo, during my absence, played with jojo and sent a lot of cute pictures. Her dog, hunter, is very cute and friendly. Jojo had a wonderful time with her and hunter.”


“Diana and Michael are so great! Our pup has really taken to them, loves playing with their dog and is excited when we drop him off at their place. It makes us feel at ease knowing he is in such good hands, and is enjoying his time while we are away. They both are very conscientious and prompt communicators, and are also flexible as we have been delayed in our travels before and they make it work with adjusted pick up times. We highly recommend them!”


“Winnie took great care of Stella, was a pleasure to communicate with, and made the pick up and drop off super easy. Would definitely hire again.”


“Kiara watched my dog for a few days with fairly little advanced notice. I appreciated her flexibility in arranging a meet and greet as this was the first time my dog stayed with her, and she was very communicative about her home and family. I received updates throughout my dog’s stay. I would board my dog with Kiara again!”



“Our dog, Bogey, had a great time staying with Stephen. He was cared for and treated like family. I highly recommend Stephen and will definitely request his services the next time we need dog sitting for our pup!”


“Simran was reliable, responsive, and provided a loving atmosphere for our puppy. There is a large backyard for your dog to run and play. She provided updates and photos while we were away and was very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I felt very comfortable having her care for our puppy while we were away and look forward to using her services in the future.”


“Our dog Maiko had a great time with Zicheng! She got along great with Kennedy. She’s shy around people, but was so excited to see them when I dropped her off.”


“Na sent photos of our dogs every day. She has a home in a quiet neighborhood with a yard and played ball with one of our hyper dogs every day. She provided nice little beds for them to sleep in and sent photos every day. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Na!”


“Thank you for taking good care of my Lexi & Kenji!”


“Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!”


“Grace was so wonderful with our Frenchie! She sent text updates, pics and reassured on our pup’s well-being while the family was out of town for a week. I would absolutely recommend Grace and look forward to work with her again!”


“We love all the photos & updates. Having an elder senior dog we trust Michelle that he's in good hands. We can tell that he's having a wonderful time relaxing & vacationing at Michelle's place.”

East San Mateo dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog Dexter had a great time with Melissa. He came home exercised, rested, and content. We’ll be more than happy for Melissa to care for him again!

Brought Stella over to spend the night for first time with Kelly and it couldn't have been better. It was the 4th of July evening so we were a little worried but Kelly made sure to update us and let us know that all was well with Stella. A great space for the dogs and lots of attention- will be back and highly recommend!

Mabel had a great stay with Diana! We got lots of updates about her stay. She had so much fun playing with toys, going for walks, and hanging out. Diana was attentive, communicative, and very flexible when my flight back was delayed. Thanks again!

The best dog sitter ever! I always have peace of mind leaving my bog with Zicheng knowing my fur baby will be loved and taken care of!

Annie is such a gem! Kind and patient with our two dogs who can be a handful. She sent so many pictures each day, which showed our dogs clearly being taken care of so lovingly. The pictures helped my kids immensely as they missed their pups. Annie was easy to communicate with, flexible with drop off and pick up, in fact at the very last minute, she accepted my request to come to our home to pick up our dogs, which saved me so much time. She is truly a sweet, trustworthy, just all around nice person. Hands down would book again.

Our senior dog Tycho had a seamless stay with William. We got photo or video updates nearly every day and we could tell Tycho was comfortable and enjoying himself. There were many plush beds he could choose from (Tycho's favorite) and other friendly dogs to socialize with. Thanks for taking great care of our old boy!

Anne is wonderful and patient with our senior dog. She really made him feel safe and comfortable as he has such separation anxiety. She sent us so many pictures and updates. She is also so observant with his behavior. Thank you Anne for being such a loving and kind sitter! We appreciate you do much!

We felt completely at ease leaving our pup in Carlo’s care. Carlo pays close attention to every detail. He provided lots of one-on-one time and thoughtfully chosen enrichment activities that suited our dog perfectly. His daily updates of their adventures gave us peace of mind throughout our vacation. We highly recommend Carlo to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!

Shu and his wife have taken good care of rufus while we were pn our trip. Rufus came delighted and playful and cheerful.

Rocky came back calm and we can tell he gets treated very well with Zhenting's family. So glad we found her as we love she has an enclosed backyard space and she is very attentive. We love seeing how Rocky is doing throughout his stay with all the photos she sends!

Daniela is such a sweet dog sitter! She's super responsive and keeps me updated daily. I'm totally letting my dog stay with her again.

Debbie is nothing short of an amazing, caring pet sitter. She is the first pet sitter we have ever used and she has set the bar so high. She made our highly sensitive, human-centered doggie so comfortable and at ease. She followed Abby’s schedule and she was so perceptive in my nerves for leaving Abby. She set my mind to ease. Debbie was so patient with our dog’s fear of elevators — and guess what? Now, our dog is no longer afraid! Debbie sent daily pictures and texts. We will definitely be repeat customers ! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!

Kathryn and Jason were amazing pet sitters for our labradoodle while we were away! Great communications, easy to schedule drop off/ pick up, and most importantly they were very caring for our pup. She clearly had a great time with them. We will definitely book with them again!

Asta always has the best time when she stays with AJ and Anita. She now knows the house and can’t wait to go play.

Patrick, Amanda, and their wonderful family took incredible care of our dog Toby while we were away for two weeks. We had been searching for the right fit—and we found it! They gave Toby the perfect mix of love, attention, and exercise, and kept us updated daily with photos and videos that brought so much peace of mind. Honestly, we think Toby might have preferred to stay with them! We will absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable dog sitting.

Andrea was a fantastic sitter for our senior Italian Greyhound! She was very attentive to his needs and kept in regular communication during his stay with her. Highly recommend!

Good Morning Ming-Ching and her family with their lovely back yard and hands on care and play, made Simba's week. I believe Simba was on vacation not us. We received kind text and pictures of Simba regularly, as well as many videos. I whole heartly recommend Ming-Ching. He had a really great time visiting and playing with Ming-Ching dogs. Thanks again and we look forward to us doing it again. Gary and Laura

Matthew did a great job taking care of my dog. He was very communicative, providing lots of updates, and even let me bring the dog by for a bit to make sure it was a good fit! Would highly recommend!
