“Being new to California, one of the hardest things for me has been finding someone I truly trust with my dog, Cooper. I usually take him everywhere with me, but recently that hasn’t always been possible. I’m so grateful to have found Hyangja! She took the time to meet with Cooper and me before my trip to make sure we were all comfortable and that it would be a good fit. We spent time getting to know each other while Cooper happily roamed around and made himself at home. While I was away, she sent me updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing that Cooper was comfortable, happy, and having a great time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him. I think Cooper and I have officially found our perfect sitter, and that makes this dog mom very happy! Highly recommend!”
“My partner and I needed a dog sitter to watch our two dogs Marge and Charlie while out of town for a wedding. We chose Natalie and Braden after very fast initial communication and a good meet-and-greet visit. They were fantastic sitters! They provided us updates and photos throughout the weekend, and were always fast to respond if we had any questions or wanted to check in. We will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs in the future!”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
About: Raised my 4yo doodle from 8 weeks. Both my husband and I are WFH. As a routine we walk our dog 5 times a day. We are patient, calm and reliable and cherish dogs as they are part of the family. I always communicate well via text and photos to give you a peach of mind while away from home. Both my husband and I are both working from home. Flexible schedule to accommodate yours. Can walk your doggy as often as needed and play with them anytime. We prefer to arrange drop off and pick up times between 7:30am and 7:30pm due to our little kid’s schedule. Appreciate your understanding! Safety is our top priority. We have a safe area for dogs to hang out and pay great attention to the dogs as we are WFH. Dogs will stay with my wonderful, friendly Momo who is a calm and gentle doodle. He is a neutered male with boarding experience before. We have a big backyard with fence so no risk for loss. I only allow one dog boarding at once so your dog will get all the attention it deserves.
“100% recommend! Robert was incredible with Coco. You can tell he loves dogs and takes great care of them. We received daily updates and pictures of Coco while in Robert's care. When I picked up Coco she was relaxed and went back to say goodbye to Robert. That's a sure sign she enjoyed his company. He has a great backyard for dogs to run around and play in. We will definitely have Robert take care of Coco next time we go out of town. Thank you Robert!”
“Zcarina was great with Sammy, and by the end of our 9 day trip, it seemed like he was very attached to her. She sent us frequent updates and photos, and was easy to communicate with. She was very accommodating in terms of pick up / drop off times, and she remembered all his care instructions. Highly recommend!”
“Dakota and Jaclyn were great with our dog, Princess. They sent pictures of her during our time away and gave us updates periodically about her stay, which we were happy to hear. The whole process of working with them was easy and smooth. We would definitely leave Princess with them again.”
“Another 5 star stay for our Judah. We couldn't be happier with the depth of care provided. It is so wonderful to be able to relax while away from our pup knowing he's having an absolute blast. We loved seeing all the videos and photos and continue to greatly appreciate Carolyn creating a "home away from home" for our puppy.”
“Kona had a fun time with An and her family! We appreciated the many photos and videos she shared of Kona’s visit. She took good care of Kona. We would absolutely book with An again!”
“Caramel loved her time with Ash! She was extremely well taken care of during our 9 day trip, and we got daily photo & video updates of how she was doing. The whole experience, from initial meeting to final pickup, was perfect. It felt like Caramel got her own little mini vacation, hanging out with new friends and playing in a fun new location. We will certainly be back during future trips!”
About: A couple of years ago, I never imagined I’d become such a dog lover. I wasn’t a “dog person” at first, but everything changed when our Mini Goldendoodle joined our family. Now 2.5 years old, she’s energetic, friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She completely changed the way I see dogs and inspired me to become a pet caregiver. I’m also a mom to two boys, ages 17 and 13, who share my love for dogs. Our home is active, caring, and full of affection, and we enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m currently welcoming select breeds, including Goldendoodles, Golden Retrievers, Cavapoos, Maltipoos, and other small to medium-sized, well-socialized dogs. I provide a safe, loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, provide regular exercise and enrichment, and send photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and help them feel right at home. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet! I am a stay at home mom. I can give plenty of time to your little pups. I am available on holidays, weekends and weekdays until 5PM. I can extend, if needed I have a fenced yar and lot of space for your little paw to play around. I have a well behaved dog to give company to your little paws.
“Jennifer was very accommodating to Marleau making sure he felt at home as best as possible. She provided lots of updates and made sure he followed his routine as closely as possible. Highly would recommend booking Jennifer in the future for your puppers needs! Thanks again Jennifer!”
“It was my second time using her. Jess satyed at Irine’s place for a week. Irine always made sure that Jess was doing well and sent me pictures and videos. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Cigdem took care of our little smokey as if he was hers!!! She sent me morning and evening pics and gave Smokey the best of cuddles!!! So refreshing to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“Navneet and family are wonderful! A real home away from home for our dog where she receives much love, care, and attention by all. Fenced in yard provides added peace of mind. We would definitely book a stay with them again!”
About: I offer premium, personalized experience by hosting only ONE pup at a time. Being home full-time allows me to give your pup my undivided attention, continuous care, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom to my sweet pup, Bella. I'm a total animal lover at heart. We treat every pet in our care just like family. We truly love spending quality time with other dogs and connecting with fellow pet parents, making sure your fur baby gets all the love, attention, and comfort they deserve. When I do a drop-in visit at your home, my focus is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, medication, or special routines. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of Louie, my beautiful, well-trained dog. Beyond caring for Louie daily feeding, walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles I've also taken care of my friends' and relatives' dogs many times, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Our whole family adores dogs, and I'm experienced with routines, socialization, and keeping pups happy and safe. I only take one dog at a time — so your pup gets my full attention, plenty of one-on-one playtime, and care tailored to their needs. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. My routine already revolves around Louie — morning walks, playtime, meals, and evening wind-downs — and I can easily adjust to your dog's schedule. Since I'm home all day, your pup gets constant company, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Weekends are just as flexible We have a secure fenced small yard where your pup can play safely, and are always supervised — never left alone. I do a Meet & Greet before every booking to make sure your pup feels comfortable and is a good fit with Louie

It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and I couldn't have been more pleased with Yu-Shu and her family. Yu-Shu sent a number of photos and updates, and when I came to collect my puppy, she actually started to whine a little as I drove away. I almost felt bad for taking her from her friends! Thank you for your excellent service and care, Yu-Shu.
Was very pleased with Ozge and her family looking after our Australian Shepherd, he can be a challenge sometimes around other dogs, Ozge kept me up to date on his behavior and comfort around her family, to include frequent photos! Book early as she is in demand due to her reputation and positive reviews.
We couldn't be happier with Kimberly and the care she gave our Willow! From the moment she watched her, Kimberly went above and beyond to make sure Willow was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Willow had a injury that needed extra attention, and Kimberly was absolutely wonderful about keeping it clean, checking on it, and making sure it didn't become irritated or infected. She was attentive to Willow's needs, patient with her as she settled in, and careful about introducing her to the other dog. One of the things we appreciated most was Kimberly's communication. She kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos, letting us know how Willow was doing throughout her stay. Knowing that Willow was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. It's clear that Kimberly genuinely loves dogs. We are so grateful for the attention she gave Willow and the extra effort she put into making sure she was doing well. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter! We would absolutely trust her with Willow again. Thank you, Kimberly, for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️🐾
Braden and Natalie are so great! They’ve been watching Millie periodically since she was a young puppy, and no matter how much time has passed between visits, she always remembers them and is so excited to see them. It’s clear how loved and well cared for she is while there. She gets plenty of exercise, stimulation and attention. We always feel comfortable knowing she’s in such great care. This time, we’re especially grateful that they were able to accommodate our last-minute request. We absolutely would recommend them!
We had an amazing experience with Chris! This was Cooper’s first time staying with someone new for 4–5 days, so we were naturally a little nervous. From the very beginning, he made Cooper feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. He took Cooper on regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and kept us updated every day with messages and photos. Those daily updates gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We would absolutely book with him again!
Jenny was an amazing sitter for Kaiser!!! She followed our care instructions perfectly and updated us every few days with multiple pictures and videos. She was very cautious and caring. Kaiser is usually scared of strangers, but he warmed up to her and soon became very comfortable with the sitter and her family. She even bathed him as his stay was almost 4 weeks long. We will definitely be choosing her as our sitter for him again if needed in the future. ☺️
Divya and her family took wonderful care of our 7 year old Beagle while we were 1000 miles away in Yellowstone National Park. She went above and beyond with regular updates and beautiful photos that put our minds completely at ease. Since Divya has a Beagle of her own, our pet felt right at home and settled in quickly, almost like he found a second family. We can't recommend her highly enough for your pet boarding needs. She's an absolute gem!

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.
93% of sitters in Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton 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 Pleasanton.
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 Pleasanton. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Pleasanton 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.
