“Megan took wonderful care of my puppy Henry while he was boarded with her. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and lots of social time with other dogs, including puppies, which was perfect for him. She even took care of some grooming, which was a nice bonus. Henry came home happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be bringing him back to Megan soon. Highly recommend!”

“We can't say enough good things about Jasmine! She truly went above and beyond for Buddy. We loved receiving her daily updates and adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from all the pictures that Buddy had a great time and was happy as could be while enjoying all his favorite activities. Thank you Jasmine for all your care!”
“Yun and Lina were absolutely wonderful! I could tell immediately that my Franny felt so comfortable with them. They took her along to so many of their activities and I received the cutest updates and photos throughout her stay. Franny came home happy. Easily my best experience on Rover, I hope to have them watch Franny again!”
“I cannot recommend Tillana enough! She recently took care of our dogs, and the level of service was absolutely outstanding. One of our dogs needed regular medication, and she handled it flawlessly, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We loved receiving her regular updates and photos—it really showed how much she genuinely cares about the animals in her custody. To top it all off, she even reached out a day after the dogs came home just to check in and see how they were settling back in. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Tillana, for treating our pups like family!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up in a family that has always cared deeply about animals. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve helped take care of our family dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they were happy and comfortable. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved. Even now, I often help friends and family with their dogs whenever they need an extra hand, whether that means watching them, taking them on walks, or just giving them attention and company. I understand that every dog is different, and I always try to be patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter❤️🐶 I have full availability and a very flexible schedule, so I’m usually able to accommodate most times and days without any issues. I can adjust easily depending on what works best for you and your pet, and I’m happy to help whenever I’m needed. My goal is to be reliable and easy to work with, so you can feel confident that your dog will be taken care of even on short notice or changing schedules. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. I live on the first floor, which makes it very easy and safe for dogs to go in and out, and I also have direct access to a backyard and nearby parks for walks, playtime, and fresh air. The home is spacious and pet-friendly, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and move around comfortably. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and stress-free so every dog feels at home. There’s always space to rest, play, and feel secure, and I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for at all times.🙋🏻♀️✨
“Alessandra and Alex really went above and beyond for my little guy! My flight was extremely late last night and I ended up having to keep Theo longer with them than I’d previously communicated. They were so kind and flexible! They are always so sweet to Theo and take great care of him! When he’s with them I am completely at ease and can focus on my travel and work without worrying. 🩷🤗”
“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”
“Yasemin was a wonderful sitter! She and her family showered my pup with love and attention from the minute they met and during his entire stay. Very mindful of his care and she sent lots of photos/videos which made me feel very comfortable that my dog was well taken care of. I would gladly take my dog to Yasemin again, and know he would love to stay with her and her family again!🤗🐶”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for two years, it’s been a fun experience. I get to meet new pets and make them feel like home. I’m currently working from home, that gives me enough time for your pups and cats. I’m available for morning walks on weekdays 9am I live in a area where pups like to run, my home is a safe place as well where they are taken care of as if they are mine
“Diana took excellent care of our pug Winston over the weekend. She sent us photos of him playing around the house. I'd highly recommend Diana, and definitely book with her again! ”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Mochi had a great stay with Wendy and Boba. She was well cared for and got lots of extra love. Wenyu was an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of Mochi enjoying herself :). Would highly recommend.”
“A was so kind to our pup, Napa. We appreciate her flexibility, knowledge, and fun personality. Napa looked forward to seeing her. She's conveniently located near Stanford, so she's a great fit for anyone visiting the hospital. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

Jessica was amazing with Jellie! We received lots of updates and pictures that put us at ease while we were gone knowing that Jellie was with her. It was very clear that Jellie received lots of attention and love. Jellie even wanted her to leave with us when I picked her up! I would definitely recommend her and book again with Jessica for our next trip!
John was amazing with Charlie, my 14 year old senior pup. She had a bunch of medication and he was very attentive on giving me updates about how she was. Communication was superb and I recieved so many photos a day and reassurances that she was doing well. Charlie came back happy and healthy! John is awesome!
Jasmine was great with our rescue maltipoo, Raz. She made herself available for a meet and greet prior to our dates so we could discuss Raz's needs and get acquainted. While Raz stayed with Jasmine, she provided multiple daily updates and photos. She made sure she knew Raz's routine and care needs and asked great questions. She was willing to take Raz on long walks and play with him. Raz returned to us excited to be back home but also balanced and happy, like he'd had a great vacation :)
Jordan watched my Belgian Malinois for a full work day and my dog was so thrilled. Jordan was very thoughtful and caring to my dog and took lots of photos showing me how much fun she was having. Jordan is really responsive and I trust her to watch my dog in the future! So glad I found her.
Thank you Emma for your loving care for our Kobe. We were so happy to see Emma on Rover as she was Kobe’s foster before we adopted him! He can be slow to warm up but knew he’d be so happy once again in her care. We truly appreciate Emma’s knowledge and devotion with even nervous dogs.
Zulena sent us lots of pictures and updates about how our dog was doing and adapting during his stay. It was so reassuring to see that he was eating well, settling in, and enjoying lots of wonderful walks in nature. We really appreciated her care and communication!
Zoey was so excited to see Mora again for her return visit, which was clear confirmation that she had been happy and comfortable during her first stay. Mora takes such great care of her, including lovely walks and even taking her out to lunch! She was also great about giving Zoey her eye drops, and her experience administering them gave me extra peace of mind. Zoey also loved snuggling with Mora, and they even had a little nap together. I could tell Zoey had another excellent stay and was very happy with Mora. We feel fortunate to have found her!
Kelly did a great job caring for my Shih Tzu Pepper while we were away for a week on a family vacation. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful. She took great care of Pepper and sent regular photo updates. I had no concerns at all while we were away about Pepper’s care, I felt that I could trust Kelly completely. We received Pepper at the end of the week in excellent condition, happy and appropriately tired from a week of playing! I think her week with Kelly and her partner was a vacation week for Pepper too. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kelly again.
Angela and Kangwoong were amazing hosts for my dog Arisha. Arisha is a very shy dog but she felt at home staying at their place. I don't know if it's common but she was the only dog during her stay which made the stay extra special. Angela sent me 2 pictures a day as updates about the stay. I am ashamed to say it but I feel like Arisha was treated better than I am able to do at home... I would be extremely comfortable with and would love having Angela host Arisha again in the future.
Matt was great with dog Hazel and her special needs. He helped keep up with her training, administered medicine and took time to play tug with her. His home has an expansive back yard (by Palo Alto standards) for Hazel to explore and stretch her legs. I would love to board Hazel with Matt in the future.
