“As always King and Princess enjoyed their stay at Tulasi & Buddy. Time was of essence and Tulasi was able to accommodate my fur babies. Tulasi keep you updated, send pictures and is accommodating. Her & Buddy time and services are greatly appreciated by the Jones Family. Anywho, Don't hesitate to reach out to Tulasi if you want to be at peace when leaving your fur babies behind. Kind regards, The Jones'es.”
“Ellie & Karson were phenomenal! Due to my hectic schedule, they were willing to meet me & pick-up Knox. I also received photos and messages throughout the entire stay. Knox is a senior dog, so he requires a lot of attention & love due to his high anxiety. He also needed to take medicine on a daily basis. Ellie & Karson were able to administer the medicine & take Knox on a walk each day! He was very comfortable in their home as I was out of town for a work trip. Definitely highly recommend!”
“First off I want to say how grateful my husband & I are to have found Heather & her family!! We have always vacationed with our dogs with us. I was super nervous about boarding, not knowing how they would be treated, if they were cared for properly, & if they would get their belly rubs hourly. After the first day meeting Heather & her family, I knew they would be the "other family" to my pups!! Heather sent updates daily, along with pictures & texts of how things were going. Just these thoughtful gestures that she didnt have to do, eased my anxiety & mind tremendously. I dont have enough space on here, to put down the things she did for my pups. Heather you are awesome!!!! 5 stars for the care of my babies, all the way!!! We ARE definitely going to use her again, probably many, many times!!!”
“Thank you for taking care of Cleo! You can tell that Jessica is very attentive to the pets she takes care of. She returned all of the items we sent her with and they all came back cleaned! Very amazed. Definitely recommend to book with her and we will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Maribel is the sweetest and she was so caring and kept me up to date with pictures while being on my trip. Her dog Molly is so sweet and calm and perfect around other dogs. Benji didn’t want to leave when it was time to pick him up. Thank you Maribel!”
“Morgan did great with Theo (who is still learning) & on such short notice, too! He seemed to have a great time while staying with her and her family! She made sure he would feel comfortable for his first time staying with a sitter while I was away. She was flexible with drop off and pick up timing which worked out great for my traveling purposes. She is experienced in dog sitting and made the process very easy. She sent pictures and updates during his stay which I also really appreciated.”
“I’m so glad we were able to find Amanda. She welcomed my Rottweiler as one of her own when we needed a last minute dog sitter. She communicated greatly the 4 days she had her by texting and sending me videos to ensure me that my big baby was enjoying herself. I definitely recommend her and will be using her for future vacations!!”
“Amanda and her family are very compassionate and attentive people. I don't think my dog wanted to come home lol they took excellent care of her. I don't leave her often and I get nervous leaving her in the first place but I would 100% leave her with them again. I trusted she was well cared for and she was, she sent pictures and asked if they could watch her again which is very kind and generous. Even at drop off her fiance sat on the ground with Pancake and let her get used to him. I can't thank y'all enough for caring for her while I was away, thank you again”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a huge love for animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different breeds and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Dobermans and everything in between. I’m a passionate animal lover and advocate, and I’ve also fostered dogs through rescues. Fostering has given me a special place in my heart for fearful, shy, anxious, and misunderstood dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I believe in giving them patience, kindness, and time to feel safe. As a registered nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with bathing and basic grooming needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. 🐾❤️ I’m a registered nurse and work 12-hour shifts, typically 2 days per week and every other weekend. On my weekends off, I have 5 days off in a row, which is when I’m available for boarding. My availability is therefore every other week, making me a great fit for families looking for care during weekend getaways, short trips, or extended weekends. I provide a safe, loving, home-based environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time and play, and I keep the number of boarding dogs limited so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. As a registered nurse, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and responding appropriately if an unexpected situation arises. I also have experience and knowledge in canine CPR and emergency first aid. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort level before their stay. I have a special soft spot for fearful and anxious dogs and believe patience and a calm environment are essential.

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.
About: I have always loved and cared for animals basically all of my life. I have a chihuahua named Minnie and cat named Blue Kittles, both are very friendly, loving, and full of energy! I love caring for animals while making sure they're happy, healthy, and safe! I graduated from North Carolina A&T State University with a Bachelors in Animal Science in December 2020. Being that I have a lot experience working with dogs, cats, chickens, turkey, cattle, and swine animals it doesn’t matter what kind of animal you may have I know what it takes to keep any animal safe and happy ! As a teacher on summer break, I now have more time to care for my pets daily with walks, feedings, grooming, and extra play and bonding. I provide consistent care by feeding, walking, grooming, and giving attention to pets. In clients' homes, I follow specific instructions to maintain routines and comfort.
About: I’ve owned a dachshund growing up and have helped take care of my mom’s high energy Jack Russell. I’ve watched friends’ dogs when they go out of town before. I’m currently a PA student and hoping to make a bit of money while in school full-time! I love dogs and would love having an excuse to go on walks throughout the day! I used to live with a Jack Russell at home and take him out on a leash. I go on frequent walks and always make sure that my dog gets enough exercise.

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.
95% of sitters in Francisco 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 Francisco 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 Francisco.
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 Francisco. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Francisco 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 NC 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.
