Doggy Day Care In Hoover-Foster

“If you're anything like me, the guilt of being away at work all day weighs on me, but knowing that instead, my fur-baby is now getting tons of attention, pets, walks, and love puts my mind at ease. Getting cuddles from Van Joseph and Matthew, the company of their sweet little dogs, and soft blankets to sleep in is priceless! I got so many precious photos which brightened my day! Overjoyed to have found Van Joseph and Matthew to care for my sweet girl Petunia!!”

“Latricia was great! My dog can be a bit difficult with new people, but Latricia was patient and understanding. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, too, so I had peace of mind.”

“Andy is wonderful - my dog Sidney is always so happy to see him when I drop her off for daycare (usually once a week). When I arrive to pick her up, she generally doesn't want to leave! She gets multiple walks per day and enjoys time with their dog Millie. They are accommodating of my crazy schedule and very flexible about drop-off and pick-up time. I very highly recommend these folks - they take great care of my baby!”

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the little things—energy changes, appetite, stress cues—and adjusts to help your cat or dog feel comfortable. I’m consistent with routines (walks, feeding, play, quiet time), respectful of your house rules, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day. I plan my routine around pets’ needs—morning and evening walks, regular potty breaks, meals on your schedule, and plenty of calm check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate early drop-offs/pickups when possible, and I’ll communicate clearly about timing. I’m careful, calm, and safety-focused. I follow your instructions closely (feeding, meds, routines, house rules) and I’m attentive to behavior cues so pets feel secure—not overwhelmed. I’m mindful with doors, leashes, and transitions, and I keep a clean, low-stress environment. You’ll get regular photo updates, and I’ll reach out quickly if anything seems off.

“Last minute request so I’m very thankful to have Kaleh taken care of. He looks happy and healthy, will come and drop him off here again! Thank u!”

“Thank you for watching our sweet Porky pie. He had such a great time. We love that he gets to have play time with other dogs and so glad he got along so well with Nala. Loved all the great updates while away, it really made my heart happy to see he is well taken care of while we are away. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter. Amazing communication!!! And your pet will be well taken care of.”

“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”

About: I’m a full time artist and WFH sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages including Puppies, seniors, special needs pets, and sensitive personalities. I live a calm and quiet lifestyle with my senior corgi, Mochi, and my sweet, dog friendly cat, Mumu. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful environment, and care that never feels rushed. My dog Mochi is 10 and has had many health issues, including back leg mobility problems. Caring for her has given me strong experience with senior dogs, medication schedules, mobility support, slow routines, anxious pets and even stroller walks. I grew up with many pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve experienced a negligent sitter in the past whose carelessness sent my dog to the hospital. Because of that I take this work extremely seriously. I’m attentive, detail oriented, cautious and I never take shortcuts especially with older or delicate pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I’m an artist I’ll sometimes doodle a small portrait of your pet if time allows, just a little gift for you. A little about why I joined Rover: I recently moved into a larger space which has allowed me to comfortably host more pets. I also decided to start pet sitting as a way to help offset the rising costs of my senior dog’s insurance. It’s important to me that I can continue providing the best care for her and Rover lets me do that while offering attentive, reliable care to other pets as well. I WFH so I’m home most of the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine I already have a senior dog with daily feeding, meds so I’m used to gentle and structured care throughout the day. I take breaks to give pets attention, walks, playtime and lots of calm company. Your pet would be part of my daily rhythm not an afterthought I maintain a calm and supervised home where safety comes first. Pets get slow introductions and secure spaces and constant oversight since I work from home. My corgi is crate-trained and my cat has high-ground access so everyone has their own safe zones. I follow your schedule exactly : feeding, walks, meds, and activities so your pet stays on their normal routine. They’ll have a safe comfortable place to play or nap all day and can sleep with me at night if they'd like to. Diet & Feeding I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule and portion sizes to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I feed my dog and guest dogs separately to avoid any food guarding or stress during mealtimes. Hygiene & Cleanliness I keep pets clean and comfortable throughout the day : wiping paws if needed, cleaning eye discharge and keeping their space tidy. I’m very detailoriented about maintaining a clean safe environment. Walk Safety All dogs are leashed outdoors at all times. I stay alert around other dogs separate pets immediately if there are signs of stress or tension and prevent ground eating or unsafe sniffing areas. I’m always attentive and I clean up after them every time. Sleeping Arrangements My own dog prefers her own bed and doesn’t sleep with me but your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable whether that’s in their own bed, the crate or in the bed with me for extra comfort. I make sure every pet has a safe cozy sleeping setup.

About: My open schedule and minimal amount of personal responsibilities highly complements my ability to provide above and beyond service for a you and your pets, combined with my history and experience with animals through the course of my life. I have and do go to great lengths to ensure top tier care and quality time for my pets and yours alike. Your pet(s)/furry babies will definitely enjoy their stay here and think they are at their second home or on vacation. A bonus is that I have a strong bond with my sister who is a dog trainer and dog sitter in east Bay Area that has been employed at local vets for a handful of years. My roommate Damien and I have both shared residencies for a handful of years and he loves all as much as I do! Extra loves and good vibes! Every pet that books here will be given frequent and genuine attention, full of warmth that feels catered to them! I am currently open 24/7 for boarding in my home with no restrictions on my ability to provide quality care and supervision for your pets when desired. :) I am a great listener and follow instructions precisely as given when it comes to caring for your pets and my own. I am very flexible and lenient for preferences regarding your pet’s stay. I am a licensed driver with no traffic violations whatsoever and always prioritize safety and awareness while transporting myself or any others (pets included) within my personal vehicle.

“Maya is a wonderful dog sitter & human! She took such good care of my senior dog, especially after I told her about some recent health issues he’s experiencing. She kept a close eye on him, keeping him super safe & keeping me updated throughout the day. Thank you so much Maya, for loving my baby and keeping him safe!”

About: I'm an experienced dog and cat owner for over 10 years. Moreover, I've done dog and cat sitting for my friends many times. Their ages range from 3 month old puppies to 8 years old adult dogs. I have experience training my dog when adopting him as a puppy. I also trained my cat some tricks. In overall, I love spending time with dogs and cats and I will love your fur family members as much as I love mine :). I'm available for a pet sitting or drop-in visit after 4pm daily. When I stay with your pets, I can play with them, feed, or take them out every 2-3 hours. I currently don't own any pets and I'm not accepting boarding services. When I stay with your pets, I'm very respectful of your space and will follow your house instructions. I believe communication is the key to create trust, so I expect my clients to provide me with details and instructions about their pets. I will ask questions and consent before doing anything not mentioned in the instructions.

“Courtney was great! Sent us lots of updates and let us know how our dog did throughout the day with rover card and pictures. Our pup has separation anxiety and can be unsure around new people but walked right up to Courtney and didn't look back :) Came home happy and exhausted!”
