“This was our second time leaving Ash with Jamie and Patrick, and they took wonderful care of her. We really enjoyed receiving photos of Ash having a great time while we were on vacation. Knowing she was happy and well cared for gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


“Pat is great. I was so worried to leave my puppy with someone else but Pat is so kind and took all my worries away. Bella was with her for two nights and I'm pretty sure she had a great time. She really likes Pat and we will definitley use her service again. We highly recommend Pat.”
“Patricia does a great job caring for my two small dogs. One of my dogs recently had a tummy issue, and was still weaning back to kibble from a chicken & rice diet when they went to Patricia's. Patricia was willing to follow the schedule I provided, and mix my dog's kibble with chicken and rice to finish weaning her back to pure kibble. My dogs get along with Patricia's small dog, Sophie, and enjoy their surroundings during their stay (Patricia has a beautiful patio and spends time with them outside). They always come back happy and healthy. Patricia is a great sitter!”

“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”


“We usually take our fur babies with us when we go on trips. For the ones we can’t take them with us on it’s good to know we can leave them in great care. Tracy and Shawn did such a amazing job that it made us feel at ease leaving them so we can destress. We were glad they did good and didn’t have a hard time being away from us. Dax and Leela did so good we kind of got jealous that they didn’t seem to mind us leaving them in such great care lol that’s all you can ask for when finding a awesome sitter. No stress on anyone’s part just natural. I recommend them as a sitter anytime. Will definitely use their services for future care.”

“Celine was awesome! She took awesome care of our baby and she communicated with us every day. Our dog was very well taken care for and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Rosalia cared for our dog Winnie for 3 weeks while we took a dream vacation. It was pretty hard for us to feel good about leaving Winnie for so long, but Rosalia made it easy with daily updates. It was clear to us that Winnie was having a great time, which enabled us to have a good time on our trip. Thanks Rosalia!”

“I thought Maellen was terrific. A few days before our cruise, Lili, our corgi had to be fitted with "the cone of shame" for a skin condition. I contacted Maellen to see if this would create a problem and offered to find another sitter but Maellen said it would be fine. She treated the skin condition twice a day took excellent care of Lili for the 7 day cruise. Lili obviously had a great time and was in excellent condition. She did not seem to be in a big hurry to leave so I know she liked it. THANK YOU, MAELLEN.”

“Leslie & James takes great care of my standard poodle Zulu when I travel with updates of photos and videos. They are very friendly, courteous and accommodating if I have to change my pick ups if I’m delayed at the airport, etc.”

“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”

“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”

“The best!! Thomas and Matthew took such great care of our dog and made him feel at home. I really appreciated the photo updates and will definitely be requesting them again - highly recommend! 😁”

“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Vanessa was an absolutely amazing sitter! She answered all my question right away prior to the boarding. I had to drop my dog off a little early and pick her up a little late and she was super accommodating and very communicative. She watched my baby for six days and I received pictures and updates daily so I didn’t feel concerned because she was well taken care of and in good company playing with Vanessa’s dogs as well. I also think she might’ve given her a bath on the last day because she smelled good when I picked her up. She is such a sweet and caring person I definitely look forward to booking with her in the future!”

“Max always gets so excited to go to Chad‘s house. It’s like we’re going to visit his doggy family. Chad is very careful in picking the other dogs that he watches so Max has always had a good experience if another dog is there”

“My cats loved their stay so much they didn't want to come home! Kathryn was easy to deal with, good communication, and obviously loves cats. Highly recommended.”

Los Altos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy and Shawn took great care of our boy Benji, who was recovering from surgery. Great communication, and special attention to his needs and medication schedule. Their daughter spoiled him extra and kept an eye out to ensure he wasn’t too active while on crate rest 💕 we are grateful to have had a worry free trip after unexpected medical needs came up for our pup.
