“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!”
“Thiago made it easy and kept us in the loop. While we were away for a week he sent us photos of Rally and a little blurb about what she did that day every afternoon. He has a big yard for the dogs to run around in and Rally was never alone, always having other dogs to play with as he keeps a couple at a time. Thiago was very responsive and when we asked for a pic of Rally relaxed he made it his personal mission to capture one.”
“Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!”
“Kim was super communicative and caring. I could tell she truly loved furry friends: lots of play time, pictures and videos. She also accommodated our needs to adjust pickup time with zero issues. Highly recommended!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Leeeun took care of our Teddy for 15 days while we were on an extended vacation. She sent numerous photos and correspondence. I did not worry at all while Teddy was in her care. She treated him like a member of her family and I know Teddy enjoyed every minute. Do not hesitate to choose her to take care of your pup!”
“Mario was fantastic! He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and kept me posted with pics and texts throughout my week long trip. This was my first time leaving Tilly for a trip and I couldn't have been luckier in finding such a great trainer and dog lover for her to stay with. ”
“Micaela, thank you so much for taking such great care of Sunny Sunshine! It was wonderful to have a little getaway, knowing that he was in your capable hands. Thanks again and happy holidays to you.”
“Thanks again, Lauri! Our pup Benji was so well taken care of. So nice to have him stay with someone we trust and who does all the little things to help his development too!”
“Marie is a star dog sitter, she made my dog part of her family. She bathed my dog, switched up his food Without me asking when he became picky while I was traveling. I received more photos and videos of my dog than I have ever received with a babysitter for my three human children. This was an incredible experience I will be choosing Marie every time we travel.”
“Lida did an exceptional job dog sitting our Tino! He was genuinely happy and well-cared for under her watchful eye. Finding Lida has been a true blessing! We’re definitely going to use her again for dog sitting our Tino in the future!”
“Shao did a great job with our dog, Youduner. Took he for walks, gave he lots of attention and was very communicative. She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and was transparent about her schedule. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible dog lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each dog. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means plenty of playtime and walks, extra patience with a shy dog, or a calm and comfortable environment for a senior pet. I’m also comfortable providing the patience and consistency that young dogs and puppies need as they learn good habits and adjust to new surroundings. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel happy, cared for, and at home while you’re away-and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work outside the home, but I'm intentional about making pet care a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Before booking, I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. When I'm home, your pet gets plenty of companionhsip, attention, and care in a calm, comfortable enviornment. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and individual care. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. For dogs, a typical day includes walks, outdoor time, play, and lots of attention and affection. For cats, I'll provide feeding, fresh water, litter-box care, playtime and companionship while also respecting their need for quiet time and personal space. I provide a calm, comfortable home environment where pets can relax and feel safe. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow your instructions and adjust their care to their individual personality, routine, and needs.
“Renee and Chris were outstanding! They agreed to a last minute request when I had an urgent need to fly home. We arranged a meet and greet very quickly to make sure our dogs were compatible. Chewie is a newly adopted rescue and he can be overwhelmed in new settings. He adapted quickly as Renee and Chris provided him with plenty of love, exercise, play time. I also received lots of updates which put me at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them!”
“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!”
“Great communication, excellent service. William and his girlfriend take good care of our energetic, playful dog, Milo. They took him for daily walk, and provided daily updates/pictures which put us at ease leaving Milo with them. Also they are very accommodating for drop-off and late pick-up times. Highly recommended.”
“Arani & Nupur were friendly and communicative both before and during our dog’s stay with them. We received frequent updates on how she was doing. We would definitely trust them with our dog in the future! Thank you!”
“Kenneth did an amazing job watching my dog. He sent me so many great updates with photos multiple times a day so I knew how she was doing. My dog can be a little shy with new people but Kenneth made her feel comfortable and at home. I could tell by the photos she had warmed up. Kenneth was also very good at following the care instructions I left. I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillsborough
This was our first time leaving Peanut for over a week and our first time using Rover. Ivan made us feel super comfortable with a meet and greet before our trip. He is very calm, patient and caring with the dogs in his care. While we were away he sent daily pictures and we could see that Peanut was having a great time and getting plenty of exercise and socialization! We will definitely be contacting Ivan for future trips!
Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter 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!
Wally had the best time staying with Leeeun and her family! They spoiled him with constant attention, walks and outings, fun toys, and pup cups. Leeeun was great about sending updates and lots of photos. I don't think he wanted to come back home! I'm quite picky about who I leave my dog with, so I'm very happy to have found another go-to trusted sitter.
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 ☺️!
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.
Francesca took good care of our basset, Biscotti. Though there were several other dogs she was caring for at the same time, Biscotti preferred to follow Francesca around (probably because of the treats!) Francesca took her to the park and on walks and was a responsive communicator. We really appreciated her caring for our pup.

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 Hillsborough home-away-from-home, 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 Hillsborough.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hillsborough sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
