“I’m so grateful for Yun and Lina. They really spoil Finley and I trust them completely with my baby. Just last week, I was in the process of moving and things took longer than expected. They were so accommodating and said I can leave Finley for however long. Not sure what I’d do without them! Thank you Yun and Lina ♥️”

“It was Coco’s first day with Edward and Rusty. He seemed to have had a great day playing with his new buddy. He was clearly very comfortable being there. I appreciate all pictures Edward sent throughout the day, and the prompt communication. I’d love to leave Coco with him more often :)”

“Kristal was great!! Very attentive with Ernie! Sent lots of pictures throughout the day letting me know she was having a great time. Even helped with potty training and other commands!”

“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!”

“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”

“Guilherme was spectacular with Sjofn. She is my service dog and use to always being with someone. I could tell that he spent the whole day giving her lots of petting and attention because she showed no stress and was happy to listen to him when I saw her. I will definitely have Guilherme watch her 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.”

“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Margarita was amazing with my pup. She walked her twice, played with her, and was able to calm her down quickly after I dropped her off—my pup suffers from separation anxiety. She sent me photos of my pup throughout the visit. I highly, highly recommend her.”

“Simply the best, Luna loved her time with Rhea! Rhea was very attentive to Luna's needs. Rhea was an amazing communicator and shared photos of Luna throughout the day. Another big plus qith Rhea was her flexibilty to accomodate my timeline with a rather early drop off. Will definitely use Rhea in the future, thanks so much!”

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.
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
About: We’re an engaged couple living in East Palo Alto and looking for more opportunities to spend quality time with animals! We’ve been trusted dog and cat sitters for friends and family for years, and recently decided to give Rover a try. We’d love to provide your pet with extra love, attention, and care while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, and we’re sure we will have our own one day. We walk daily during our lunch breaks and each evening after work. We’d love to take your pet with us! We live in a house with a private fenced backyard. We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be.
About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.
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: I will happily drop by and spend quality time with your dog/cat/animal friends or they're more than welcome to stay with me in my apartment! I believe in enrichment and making your absence a calm, fun day experience for your fur baby. I’m also happily available for multiple drop in visits per day. I know some people just like multiple drop-ins. Please reach out to discuss special pricing for 2-3 drop-ins per day, plus play time and/or walks. (There are also periods when boarding and day care are set to away but I may be able to accommodate your needs.) I’m a total cat whisperer, dogs bring me joy, I can nurture rabbits, hamsters, fish, you name it. Happy to discuss your pets needs. I’m working partially remotely on a project so I’ve loads of time to care for your pet. Happy to keep your pets feeding and playtime schedule. I do have to zip to the office some but lately it’s been a couple of hours in the afternoon and I’ve taken one of my sits with me and he had the best time. I have a ground floor apartment with a fenced patio. I live in a good dog walking neighborhood. For in-home sitting: I’m mature, experienced, can do meds, and will completely respect your home.
“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”

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.

My golden has really enjoyed day care thus far. He gets to go on a nice walk, play fetch, play with the hose, and get lots of attention and pets. I also get lots of pictures throughout the day which always makes me happy. Would recommend. I can tell he really enjoys going to day care here!

We are so happy we found Jesse and Kimmy! We were looking for trustworthy dog sitters, and we truly couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, Jesse and Kimmy made us feel safe, comfortable, and confident that our babies were in the best hands. 🥹❤️ We really appreciate how kind and caring they have been, and especially how they took the time to listen to all of our babies’ needs. They mean the world to us, so finding people who understand how important they are to us and genuinely want to give them the best means so much.

We thank Renz for his meticulous care for our puppy.We had booked for a concert few months back and got our puppy Forrest few weeks back to our home, Renz came up with helping hands and great experience for Forrest. In few hours, Forrest got attached to him and felt very comfortable and happy. Thank you Renz for the great care and experience.

From the moment we had our meet and greet, we knew John would be amazing with our dogs! He is one of the sweetest people we have met and took amazing care of Rusty and Ruby throughout the day! John communicates really fast and well l, and sends lots of photos throughout their stay :D we know Rusty and Ruby will be looking forward to their next stay with John!!

Five stars for Raina! This 10 year old has a remarkable gift for animal care. She and her father Mel provided excellent care for our dog Rani over the weekend. What stood out most was Raina’s genuine passion for dogs and her sensitive, attentive approach. Rani returned home calm and happy, and was eager to see Raina and Mel the very next weekend. That level of comfort and trust is best environment we would have asked for. Raina’s caring nature and natural ability with animals make her an outstanding dog sitter. We feel confident leaving our dog with her and the family!
Super sweet family! Our dog was raised with a toddler so it was nice to have kids for her to be with since we don't have any of our own. Normally our dog is nervous about new places. She ran into the house like it was her own. Angela was patient with me being this was our very 1st Rover experience. I had a lot of issues with the website. Kangwoong took care of JuJu as soon as she rushed through the door to play with their daughter. The updates were timely as if Angela could tell when I was missing our little pup. And the whole family came to say goodbye when it was time to leave. Small gestures that mean a lot! She must have had a good day as she slept on the ride home & passed out a little before her usual bedtime in a deep sleep. This morning she woke up on her back stretched out basically saying, "I am living a good life!" She seemed very happy with her stay & she was the right amount of tired. Thank you so much to the entire family for making our first experience an awesome one!
