“My dog Zazu had a great time with Ashish! Great communication and lots of pictures of my dog having fun. Would definitely recommend Ashish and will continue to bring my pets in the future!”
“Jeanette was fantastic! She shared pictures every day and was extra attentive with my shy and nervous pup. Her home was a great place for boarding with space for my dog to explore indoors and outdoors and she could play with other dogs if she liked or could have her own space separated away from the others. Definitely recommend Jeanette’s care!”
“Our Shepherd/Husky loved staying with Allora and her family. He loved being able to play with their dog Boba, chasing each other around in their large outdoor backyard. Allora was very attentive and sent pictures every day, keeping us up to date with all the activities they were up to, which included walks every day, and being involved in family activities. I will definitely choose to leave him with Allora in the future too.”
“Lucia did such an amazing job taking care of Honey! There’s not very many people that can love on your pup as much as you do. But throughout Honey’s stay I got multiple photos and videos daily showing all the love and fun she was having. She has two dogs herself, and they all got along well. I am absolutely taking Honey back when I need dog sitting again!! Thank you Lucia!!!”
“Julie and Adam are perfect sitters! They were thoughtful, reliable, and great with my dog. He seemed very happy and comfortable with them. I’d definitely book with them again!”
“Deborah had my dog for a week while I was on a work trip. I hate leaving him, but she made the trip so much better with regular photos and updates. He had a great time, and I could not have been more pleased. It actually enabled me to enjoy my trip. Thank you!!”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“Ross took such great care of Joey! He clearly is such a dog person who could intuitively figure out all of Joey’s quirks. Joey had a great stay and is probably already looking forward to his next stay with Ross!”
“Radha and her family were lovely hosts for our dog Cindy. They are compassionate and gentle people - good vibes! This is exactly the support that our shy rescue needs. Our dog boarded for 3 nights. During her stay, we received lots of communications and videos. We are so grateful to have met Radha and will use her delightful services again, for sure.”
“Christiano is a true dog lover. He took such great care of Angus, with premium treats, long walks, and of course lots of love. Very communicative and sent lots of pics so we could be sure he was happy while we were vacationing. Will rebook!”
“Melina and her family were amazing sitters! She was very transparent on when she would be home, and when it would be her boyfriend watching Brulee. We received lots of great pictures and videos, in addition to text updates as well. Bru is a very shy, timid pup, and Melina totally understood. Their puppy Mercy is an absolute sweetheart.”
About: I am a loving and friendly dog sitter! I grew up with two dogs, a poodle and a Chihuahua. My family currently has a bull terrier that I love very much. I also take care of my best friend's dog when she is out of town. I love dogs and going on walks so this combination is perfect for me. I am currently a nanny to one of nephews as needed but I am free every day during the summer to take care of your furry babies. I make sure I read their cues of needing water/food, when they need to pee/poop, when they're overstimulated, stressed, or happy. I also make sure to pet them and show them love by scratching them, patting them, and rubbing them. I also follow any schedule that is given to me to make sure they stick to their normal routine.
“Ana G and her love & care for our fur baby was exceptional ❤️ I will definitely refer her and keep her for our dog coverage care, not to mention, as much as she hated to see our pup go. I think pup didn't want to leave. She a real 5 star 🌟”
“Michael has watched our pup, Stella, a number of times now. She is always well-taken-care of with Michael. He takes her on multiple walks per day and makes sure she gets plenty of outside time. She and his pup get along well, so it is nice for her to have a dog playmate too. Michael sends photos and updates throughout the stay, which is great for when we are missing her. We would recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to care for their pet.”
“Frygg loved staying w Nathaniel. He sent videos and updates. My dog came home happy and tired. I think she misses being there and playing with Nathaniel’s dogs!! Highly recommend. Would book again.”
“Yasmin is an amazing sitter! She has a very warm and kind spirit and you can just feel that she loves dogs and you fur baby will be very cared for. I really appreciate that she took time to send daily updates, pictures, and videos! Yasmin would get 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Elisha and her family took great care of our shy and anxious boy. She updated me daily with pictures and news which I really appreciated. This is our first time using Rover or any sitting service for our dogs and she made everything from the meet and greet to handover super easy. I’d be happy to book her again in the future and I would recommend any of our friends with dogs for her to look after their fur babies!”

My father had an emergency surgery, so I was pretty flustered and needed to find care quickly for my sweet Dash. Janette was so kind, accommodating, and kept me in the loop the entire time. It meant a lot during a stressful moment. I’m so happy to have my person in the Bay when I come back. 😊

I'm just so pleased that my pup has somewhere he can feel safe at when he's not with us. He has some separation anxiety and prefers to stay with someone if we have to be gone for a few hours. We've been working with Zoe periodically over the last year, and after a handful of doggy day cares and boarding for just a night or two at a time he's comfortable enough to eat over there when he stays even for a few hours. Thanks Zoe!!!
Eleonora is beyond amazing! Kind, gentle, diligent, and works excellently with anxious dogs. Oslo and I are beyond thrived we found her and her lovely home. My guy has tons of separation anxiety, but she worked with him at every step and consulted me when needed. Please 🙏🏾 don’t hesitate to book if you are in need of a sitter for your anxious baby. She is an expert with dogs and specifically the anxious ones. ❤️❤️❤️
We always appreciate Lanette and David’s dedication and care for our dog, Betsy! She gets so excited to stay with them and it gives us peace of mind to know she is in capable and loving hands while we travel. We will definitely be booking with them again for future travel needs.
Paul and Jacqueline were great! Our dog can be a little nervous sometimes but he really warmed up to them and seemed to have a great time. Paul and Jacqueline were very communicative and responsive and and frequent updates during our pets stay. We highly recommend them.
Milad was very calm and caring with Bella and Nipsey. He was also very communicative during their stay. They only stayed for one night and they both opened up to him fairly quickly which is unlike them! I truly trust them being in Milad’s care. They both came home tired and ready to nap which shows he allowed them to be themselves while there and let out all of their energy. He also has a huge gated backyard which is a great plus!
