“Dapeng and family took great care of A-mao and she had a great time! They sent many pictures of a-mao enjoying walks and the company of human and dog friends. They are very attentive too. All dogs we saw at Dapeng’s were happy and relaxed.”
“Tracy was an excellent dog sitter and took great care of our rambunctious Samoyed! She followed our meticulous instructions and sent frequent updates. We trust our dog is in good hands with Tracy.”
“We are grateful for Kelly taking good care of our boy. He loved her yard and quickly felt comfortable with her. She was able to introduce a second client to him with little to no trouble which I think speaks to her confidence and knowledge of dog psychology. She sent several updates throughout the day with photos and provided lots of open communication throughout the booking process. Our dog tends to protest food when he is not at home (even when on vacation with us) and he ate all the food we left for him at Kelly’s. Great job! We will book Kelly again when we need her.”
About: I have a deep passion for animal welfare and a proven track record of helping dogs thrive. Over the past 6 months, I have successfully fostered 3 rescue dogs—ranging from incredibly shy pups to those facing behavioral challenges such as resource guarding, hyper-vigilance, and under-socialization. Through patience, structured guidance, and positive reinforcement, I was able to help them overcome these hurdles, transforming them into affectionate, confident dogs who have all now been happily adopted into their forever homes. Whether your pet is an energetic pup, a timid soul needing extra love, or a rescue dog with specific boundaries, I understand how to read their body language and provide the calm, consistent environment they need to feel safe. I have a part-time, work-from-home job with a super flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of companionship, flexible potty breaks, and customized attention throughout the day based on your pet's routine. As a dedicated pet caregiver with hands-on experience in fostering rescue dogs and raising cats, safety and trust are my top priorities. I am highly observant of animal body language, which allows me to prevent stressful situations before they happen. For dogs with behavioral needs (such as resource guarding or high alertness), I establish clear boundaries, follow their exact routines, and provide a calm, predictable environment to make them feel secure. For pet's emotional comfort and physical safety will always come first.
“Michael was fantastic! This was our first Rover experience - we usually have a dog sitter - abs everything was great. Our dog had a great time. Michael kindly sent multiple photos every day. We will definitely come back🐶”
“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!🤗🐶”
“Iryna was very kind and accommodating with our puppy’s first boarding experience! Her communication was excellent, with lots of pictures, helping us understand he was doing fine and following up when there were needs or questions. Would highly recommend!”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“We had a last minute trip and Crystal was a lifesaver. She was incredibly flexible and responsive. She did a meet and greet with our dog the day I reached out to her and she and our dog were instant friends. She was also able to accommodate our last minute flight changes. Our dog enjoyed his stay. We recommend Crystal highly!”
“Teemo has stayed with Yunxi a few times now, and she’s been responsive and accommodating. Most importantly, Teemo is always happy in their home. I feel completely at ease leaving him with her family and will definitely book again.”
“Step took good care of our boy. He communicated and provided photos which I love. Our boy had a great time hanging with Step and his family and made a new friend with their pet. I would def recommend a stay with Step”
“Ethan and Gina treated Zoey like family, giving us peace of mind with frequent updates, photos, and video throughout her stay. Their dog, Astro, is a mellow and welcoming host. The big backyard gave the dogs plenty of space to play, and we appreciated knowing Zoey was in a nurturing environment. They were able to handle Zoey's eye drops with care and attention. We are grateful to Ethan and Gina for taking wonderful care of Zoey while we were away.”
“What a great stay for Stitch. They are so conscientious and kind. He came home calm and happy. Great updates with details on walks, photos, potty. Will definitely have Stitch stay again.”
“I highly recommend Azadeh’s services! She recently took care of my dog Kona for 4 days and I could have not asked for a better experience. From our first interaction she was incredibly professional, punctual and reliable. More importantly, she was so loving and caring towards my dog Kona, treating him just like her own. Furthermore, my dog required medicine twice a day at a precise time. That was accomplished to perfection which eased my mind and made my vacation more relaxing. Lastly, she had a lovely home and backyard and texted me on Kona’s status quite often. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I provide active, attentive, and structured care for both dogs and cats, with a focus on exercise, comfort, and individualized attention. For dogs, I’m especially a great fit for higher-energy pets that need more activity and engagement. I provide: • 3 daily walks (typically 20 mins to 1 hour each depending on energy level and needs) • A large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise • Plenty of interaction, playtime, and supervision throughout the day I also have extensive experience caring for cats and have raised 5+ cats over the years. For cats that prefer quieter environments or separation from dogs, I have a dedicated empty bedroom available to help them feel safe and relaxed. Additional care I can provide includes: • Brushing and de-shedding • Nail trimming • Basic dental cleaning (if tolerated) • Frequent updates with photos/videos I focus on quality care and take a limited number of pets so I can give each one more attention and a calmer experience. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, or evening visits. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize reliability and will make sure your pet is cared for on time every visit. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and always follow your care instructions closely. I understand that pets can be sensitive to changes, so I focus on minimizing stress and maintaining their normal routine. I’m experienced with handling pets gently, including grooming (brushing, nail trimming, and basic hygiene if your pets allows). I pay close attention to their behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I will keep you updated with photos and notes after each visit/activity. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.
“Emma took fantastic care of my dog Finn. Great communication -I received regular status and pictures. This was my first time leaving him with someone I don’t know and she put me very much at ease.”
“Hongtao and his family did a great job hosting our very active one year old golden retriever. They followed our directions as requested and sent us a daily update. Everything went smoothly and we got back the dog in excellent condition. Thank you!”

Svitlana is truly an exceptional pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. This was the second time boarding my 16-year-old Labrador, Kai, with her. Because of Kai's advanced age, I am incredibly selective and only trust a couple of sitters with him. Svitlana completely proved why she is one of them during this stay. While I was away, Kai unfortunately became ill and started throwing up. Svitlana didn't hesitate for a second. She immediately rushed him to the veterinary hospital, waited there with him for two hours to ensure he was okay, and kept me informed the entire time. After getting him home, she followed all of the vet's discharge instructions, including cooking a special bland diet from scratch to help him recover. Leaving a senior dog is always stressful, but knowing Svitlana treats Kai like her own family—especially in an emergency—gives me total peace of mind. She is responsible, deeply caring, and a true lifesaver. Thank you so much, Svitlana!
We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer! She was quick to respond to our initial request and made it easy to arrange a meet and greet. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable knowing Cody would be in great hands. Jennifer was warm, kind, and attentive, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing Cody was well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer and would be happy to have her care for Cody again!
As usual James is the best person to take care of Cookie when we are away. He really loves and cares for all the dogs that are under his care. Cookie is always happy and well looked after when she is with him. We leave her at time for more than 2 weeks when we are away on international trips and she is good with James. We highly recommend James as a home for your fur babies when you travel.
Every time we get the chance to book with Karen, we feel so lucky. Our dogs absolutely adore her and her sweet pup Squeegee, and even Ruby, who is scared of everyone else, runs right into her house. Karen even made Ruby’s birthday so special while we were away. It feels so comforting to leave them in her loving care. My kids enjoy the videos and pictures she sends so much. She’s so thoughtful in sending them frequently and is just such a genuinely good person. Thank you Karen! You’re the best!
Yasemin was amazing with our dog Polly. We had a last minute emergency and needed someone to take care of Polly for a few days. She was super accommodating and loving with Polly as if she was her own brought a lot of comfort through a difficult time. Will definitely bring her back her 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.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Loyola can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
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 Loyola home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Loyola.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Loyola. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Loyola sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
