“Matthew and Katelyn were wonderful hosts for Desta. Their quick responses and clear communication made me feel confident that Desta was well cared for. I’d definitely book with them again.”
“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Kekw had a great time with Jifu. He really enjoyed playing with their dog Joki and was comfortable enough to relax and eat most of his food. One thing I was especially happy with was that Kekw came home quite clean!! Usually Kekw will get really dirty with boarders so I'm really happy about this.”
“Jesse and Kimmy took amazing care of our pup while we were on a trip! It was Charlie’s first time being with them, but he instantly loved them and stuck to Jesse like glue! They sent lots of wonderful photos and videos while we were away and were great communicators. He even came home with a very sweet bandana, Polaroid, and treats! Would definitely recommend!!”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”
“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”
“I have never seen my dog happier. Tillana has a big heart is definitely my dogs soulmate. He was kinda depressed coming back home with us. She took such good care of him and he was so joyful in all the videos and pictures she sent us. We were completely happy being on vacation. Thank you!”
“I always feel at ease dropping Enzo off with Margaret. He is a unique dog with some health issues and Margaret is well equipped and knowledgeable about his care. She goes out of the way to take care of him and I always feel reassured he is in good hands.”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Stephen is very responsive and provided great care to Snow while we were away. We believe Snow had a wonderful time hanging out with Stephen and his family. We were delighted to learn that Snow loves to sunbathe with Stephen's dog. It's great to know our pet had a fantastic time while we were gone.”
“Charlotte was wonderful with my little toy poodle. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. She boarded my dog for 4 days and all signs are that my dog loved it. I highly recommend. I will definitely board with Charlotte again.”
“Jessica has done an excellent job taking care of Sunny. She sent us pictures often and even took Sunny for a bath! Sunny has had a great time with Jessica!”
“Nina and Leo were great! Jackson was very happy. He loved his walks and their sunny yard. Jackson has separation (or isolation) anxiety, but Nina and Leo were there for him, ensuring that he has contented. They were great!”
“Christopher took great care of my dog while I was gone for four days. The daily updates were always detailed and reassuring and the photos he sends are incredible too!”

We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures.

“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
Professorville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nova enjoyed her stay with Jesse and Kimmy. They have a nice space with fenced front and rear yards. They asked good questions at our meet and greet and provided frequent updates/photos to keep us appraised on how our dog was doing. We appreciated their detailed intake sheet, which asked for many details regarding the pet's behaviors and routines, highlighting their attention to detail and to providing the best possible care. At the end of the sit, Nova came home tired and happy. Thanks again for everything!
JoJo had a great time staying with Manli's family for a long weekend. Manli updated us every night with photos of JoJo's day, and it meant a lot to see her happy and playing with other dogs. Manli so clearly understands dogs and how they communicate. This was JoJo's first time boarded in a home, and I'm very grateful it was with Manli's family! She came home happy from a weekend full of play and attention.
Alice was fantastic with Ollie during her 15-day stay. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us complete peace of mind. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. She also had the best time playing with Alice’s dog, Charlie—they became great buddies! It’s obvious that Alice genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Ollie with Alice again and highly recommend her.
Ahmyah took care of my 8- year Golden Retriever (Basin) while I was attending meetings at Stanford for a few days. Its clear she really loves dogs. She sent me cute videos of Basin on campus having a great time! I would love for Basin to stay with Ahmyah again when we are back at Stanford.
Tillana is amazing, Desta was soo happy hanging out with her and the other puppies. She took such great care of him and gave him an amazing vacation of his own. He got to go on many adventures and also got so much love and attention while we were away. We are so grateful for Tillana and will definitely be using her in the future as well.
I boarded my fur baby, Bruce, with Fang for several days. She is caring, reliable, and trustworthy. She was sending updates regularly and I felt reassured that he was safe and happy under her care. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!
Ali was fantastic! It was our first time leaving our dog with him, and at the end of her stay, she didn’t want to come home—which says everything. He kept us updated with photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ali made sure she got plenty of exercise with walks and dog park runs, and she had an amazing time playing with his dog. She came home happily exhausted and clearly missing her new buddy. Plus she learned some new balls skills (fetch, drop, etc) which we had been trying to teach before her stay - bonus that she got some training while we were away! Communication was smooth and easy the whole time, and Ali was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with him again for more fun doggy playtime!
