“We have used Renz several different times and he’s always been great! Pepper loves he and his partner and their sweeeeet dog, Whiskey. Renz is very easy to coordinate with, follows all my instructions, troubleshoots intelligently, is skilled in obedience training, and seems to really enjoy learning Pepper’s needs. He has access to a variety of dog parks and trails, including agility structures, so I know Pepper is always going to have fun and be stimulated. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“I’m so thankful to Maggie for taking care of my pup when I needed a last-minute sitter! She was responsive and sent me updates throughout the day, and my fur baby took to her very well. Amazing experience!”
“Ying provided such wonderful and professional care for our puppy, Friday! He received so much love, patience, and attention while staying at her home, and he had an amazing time playing with both people and other dogs. Ying also kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how much fun Friday was having. ❤️ We truly appreciate how caring and patient Ying was with Friday. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care, and we would absolutely trust her with Friday again!”
About: I’ve walked dogs professionally and casually for friends and neighbors, and I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, so I’m used to helping animals settle into new environments and routines. I also own large pets myself, so I’m very comfortable with bigger breeds, their energy, exercise needs, and handling. Whether it’s a high-energy dog who needs a good walk or a cat who just needs a calm, attentive presence, I know how to keep pets of all kinds happy and well cared for. I work part time, so I have flexible hours to fit pet care into my routine. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule for feeding, playtime, or check ins whenever your cat needs me. I can care for your cat in your home or mine, depending on what works best for you. My space is quiet and calm with no other pets or kids, so your cat can settle in without distractions. In your home, I follow your routines closely and keep things safe and familiar.
“Andrea is great. We did leave our dog Nala the first time with her. She did respond really quickly to our request and during the stay of Nala, Andrea did send us super cute photos and text messages. We are super happy to have found such a good dog sitter and we will definitely bring Nala again.”
“We used Ana and Mark for a month, while our kitchen got remodeled. The were awesome: always trying to make the experience work for us and for our dog. They deeply care about dogs, are incredibly good natured and were clearly very kind, warm and caring with our dog.”
“Patrina was amazing to work with! She took the time to meet with me before hand to make sure King and Bogey would get along. During Bogey’s stay, she was very communicative and sent lots of photos of all the fun activities. Bogey looked like he had a great time and was so content when I picked him up. I will definitely be using Patrina again!”
“Silvana is a dog whisperer! She has a way with dogs that makes them very calm and happy even when they just meet. She is super sweet and sent me pictures throughout the stay.”
“Chelsea is fabulous. Rei had a wonderful stay. I truly appreciated all of the updates and photos. Highly recommended and I will definitely be reaching back out for a future stay. It was great peace of mind, knowing Rei was in such good hands.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time with Olga and the other puppies! Our pup is looking forward the next time she can go again to play. :) Olga also kept me up to date and sent so many cute photos!”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
About: We have a standard poodle Joki - who joined us in 2020 from a breeder. Joki is well trained and behave very well with other animals and people. I’m currently work from home so I am able to take care of pers all day during the day and provide multiple potty breaks as need. We have fenced front and back yard available for dogs to play and break. We can offer a fence if two dogs need to be kept separate.
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Pouneh! She took our next-day boarding request from our meet and greet, which we appreciated so much. Pouneh was incredibly communicative to ensure everything went smoothly, and she was always waiting for us right on time for drop-offs and pick-ups. The best part? Ellie was thrilled to go back every single day. She had an amazing time and is already looking forward to her next stay! ❤️”
“Marivel is kind and welcoming. Great communication from time of booking through our stay . Dependable. We trusted her to keep our senior Lilly after flying in from Texas to see our daughter’s musical at Stanford and again today for football game. Thank you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Menlo Park
Charlie, our 9 year old corgi lab took an instant liking to Alvaro. Usually he is very skeptical around men for some reason. But he liked Alvaro immediately. With a calm and cool demeanor, Alvaro instantly connected with Charlie and Charlie was ready to go with him on a walk. It looked like Charlie had a good time with his other Fur mates in Alvaro’s backyard. I got updates with videos and pictures. Also what was very comforting was that that Alvaro was good with texting and replying to messages. I am so happy that I found someone good for Charlie.

Jessica was wonderful with Trixie! She was super communicative, checked in with me while Trixie was at daycare, and was very flexible with everything. She was also able to accommodate Trixie last-minute, which was incredibly helpful. Her rates are a great value, and I’d definitely book with Jessica again!
From the beginning, it was great meeting Leo & Nina before our first daycare stay. I had a schedule change & Leo was super helpful. More helpful than when I contact Rover for help in the past. The day we arrived, there was a huge orthopedic bed for our dog which I appreciated b/c our dog does have orthopedic issues in her knees. I loved our mid-day update on her day was going & all the lovely pictures. She seemed really happy when I came to pick her up.
Manli’s family took great care of our girl JoJo for daycare. We loved getting pictures of JoJo playing with the other dogs at daycare during the day. At pickup, we heard she played great with two puppies. Glad to know JoJo is in good hands when she’s with Manli.
Renz took amazing care of our puppy. He had a very calm nature, made us feel very comfortable and at ease with Kenza in his care. He did some training and she got great exercise and loved being with his sweet dog Whiskey. We were so happy with her experience and really trust in his care.
Patrina took great care of our dog and cat for 4 days. She followed our instructions and provided thoughtful daily updates and photos of our dog's adventures to the park. I've known Patrina for a long time, and she is very trustworthy. I felt comfortable with leaving my house key with her.
Tillana is clearly very passionate about animals and I love that she really took the time to read my notes and prepare for our pup’s stay, considering their individual personalities. She sent so many cute pictures of them and they were good tired pups when they came home!
Our dog Buster spent the day with Ben and Allison and had a great time! They were super responsive and accommodating, and it's always nice to know your dog is in good hands with someone that truly enjoys dogsitting. He was a happy camper when we picked him up!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
