“Irene was good with Mamba. It was Mambas first time and he was very anxious. Irene was very mindful and made sure to want she can to make sure Mamba was less anxious. She took him on a walk and gave him lots of attention.”

About: We’re Alvin & Ashley, devoted dog parents and partners in life and pet care. We have 25+ years of combined experience. Growing up with dogs and caring for friends’ pups sparked our passion for small‑dog care. Since then we’ve raised our own Cavapoo, Sterling, from puppyhood into adulthood and have hosted dozens of small breeds through Rover. Our experience spans puppies, seniors, anxious rescues and pups with special dietary needs. We are comfortable administering oral medication, supporting post‑surgical dogs and accommodating senior quirks like limited mobility or hearing loss. Your pet receives loving, family-style care, not just a boarding spot. As a husband‑and‑wife team working from home, we devote our days to keeping tiny tails wagging. From morning potty breaks to bedtime cuddles, one of us is always there. If Alvin steps out for an errand, Ashley is here with your pup. If Ashley is busy, Alvin has it covered. We share all care duties, follow your feeding and medication instructions to the letter, and welcome written schedules. Your dog’s safety and comfort are non‑negotiable. We live in a quiet, dog‑friendly housing complex with two on‑site playgrounds designed for small breeds. We also cap groups at one to two small dogs, meaning your pup never has to compete with large breeds. Our home features puppy gates, soft beds, a small metal crate available if needed and multiple living areas so pups can be separated or have private nap time. We’re a non‑smoking household with no children. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to. You’re welcome to bring your dog’s own crate or bedding to help them feel at home. We also provide daily photo and video updates throughout each stay, keeping you connected to your pup’s adventures.

“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”

About: We have owned dogs most of our life and currently have a young Boxer/Doberman mix named Ruby. Training, exercise, and structure are a big part of our daily routine, so we are comfortable with energetic dogs, puppies, and reinforcing good habits. We pay attention to the details and treat every dog like they're my own. Pet care is already built into our day. My dog gets regular walks, playtime, and training sessions, so caring for another dog fits naturally into my routine. My wife, Miu and I work from home can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. In our house we have fenced yard and have a lots of space for playing inside too. We only host one dog at a time so we can give your dog plenty of attention, and care. We try to keep things as close to your dog's normal routine as possible. We will follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and sleeping arrangements, and we will send updates so you know how things are going. Our goal is to make your dog feel comfortable and make your time away stress-free.

“Saige has been amazing with Kuma both times that we booked with her! She is attentive and communicates well, and very flexible as well! We love booking with Saige and know that our dog is in good hands with her!”

Emily C.

“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”

Jane R.

“We've repeatedly chosen Vivian for dog sitting, and she never disappoints. The updates are reassuring, and her care is filled with affection. Thanks for always being reliable😊”

Joey W.

“Jayern has been very respectful, responsive and dependable thus far. A meet and greet was arranged prior to our first day care session, which made me feel much more comfortable. My dog had a great first day, and I received wonderful photos and a report as promised. My dog Sassy, and I, are very much looking forward to her next stay!”

Natalie W.

“David and Jerry are great with our dog Penny! She's always excited to go over there, and comes home tuckered out and happy!”

Barbara N.

“Great experience with doggy day care. I appreciated how Ronnie managed the handoff and walked him immediately to get him comfortable with her and her dog, and also sent pictures of the afternoon.”

Sharon P.

“Kami was very professional. Took care of my 2 frenchies like a pro ( not easy to do ) and didn't mind when I came 1 hour later than what time was agreed on. I would definitely use her next time I'm in town”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who understands that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member! Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, puppies, and dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, reinforcing training, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. My goal is to care for every dog as if they were my own and make sure they come home happy, healthy, and well-loved. I work remotely most weekdays, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks can be one-on-one or with my friendly puppy if your dog enjoys having a companion. On weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time exercising, playing, or relaxing with your pup based on their energy level and routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, securely fenced backyard for supervised play, and my friendly Shepsky puppy loves making new friends—especially active dogs who enjoy having a playmate. If your dog prefers their own space or needs downtime, I’m happy to separate them or crate them according to your instructions. My home is fully puppy-proofed, clean, and designed with dogs in mind, and I always take a patient, calm approach to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

“Christopher was caring and attentive, he communicated with questions as he was hosting my dog, and filled in the rover card with photos which I appreciate. We'll use his services again!”

“Antonio and Cynthia took great care of my pup. Zhulik came home happy and full of wags. He was walked, watered and fed, and he’s sleeping soundly at my feet.”

Leon L.

“We found ourselves in a predicament upon arriving to San Francisco for a wedding. We thought we had a place for our dog throughout the weekend festivities but due to an illness at that location, we could not take our dog there. I found Sam on Rover.com and she was FANTASTIC. She was very accommodating, and easy to work with. I wasn’t sure exactly what our schedule was going to be but she had no problem helping me cover our dogs needs. Our dog is also blind and she was incredible caring for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam for any pet needs.”
