“Eric was absolutely amazing. My little dog Harper had such a great time. He sent lots of updates pictures and videos and even surprised me with professional photoshoot pictures of her. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Adriana is amazing!!! She took wonderful care of my pups, and I have already booked her again! They were SO comfortable with Adriana and her sweet pup Kayla. Adriana sent photos and adorable videos, and I was certain they were in the very best place while I was away. Adriana made sure they ate well and took them outside often. She also had no problems giving my older pup her daily medicine. She provided the very best care!!! I am so thankful to have found Adriana!!!”
“Brandon was amazing, and very accommodating! He sent us pictures and updates every day, we didn't have to worry about our Chewie at all. We will definitely be boarding with him again!”
“Kelly is an amazing person. She loves pets, and Aiko had an excellent time with her. She sent us photos all the time and always stayed in touch. I would definitely leave Aiko with her again.”
“Savannah did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for 2 weeks. We were able to book her very last minute when our original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly. We're very happy with her and would highly recommend her... She kept in good communication with us, sending pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely book with her again!”
“It was nice to see her sending pictures every day and know how my dog was doing in her care. She has patio furniture just for dogs and my dog seemed to be enjoyable playing with her two dogs. Nice to know my dog enjoyed her staycation as much as I enjoyed my vacation!”
“Kelly is an awesome sitter and is forever the one we'll go to when we need our dogs boarded. She is compassionate, loving and spoils them much to their delight.”
“Louise was seriously awesome! She took care of my cat so well, feeding her and playing with her like I do. She even sent me cute pics. I'm really grateful for her help and I'll definitely ask her again next time I'm out of town. If you need someone to watch your furball, Louise is the way to go! Thankyou soo much :)”
“Emi is wonderful! Our dogs were well taken care of, and came back home happy. Our active dog had a great time playing with the other dogs at her house. Emi sent lots of pics, and communicated with me while we were gone. We are confident we are leaving our dogs in good hands with Emi. Will definitely return!”
“I will definitely go back to her, Kiersten has made me feel at ease with Poppie. She sent pictures and updates me daily of Poppie. Poppie seems to have a very calm stay and sounds like she has her best time cuddling with Kiersten. I’m glad I found her and I will definitely go back to her if I’m out of town again. Thank you for dog sitting Poppie!”
“Lance was outstanding! He took great care of my pups! This was my first time using the Rover platform and I forgot to mention key things about the pups; Lance was very respectful and communicative in providing me information and letting me know what I can do in the future to make the stay for the pups even better! Thank you for your patience and professionalism!”
“Here’s a review you might find useful: Ashley and Tony were absolutely amazing! Otis had a fantastic time with them. Ashley kept us updated with tons of pictures and even made Otis some delicious puppy pancakes that he clearly loved. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Cindy was amazing! First time boarding Tommy for the weekend and Cindy gave great updates and pictures. Really felt at ease and Tommy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend.”
“We wish we could give more stars!! Stanley had a great time with Cynthia and her dog-loving family. He played, walked, and even had a sleepover party. Thank you so much for taking care of our furry friend!!”
“Kathleen was absolutely fantastic. We unfortunately needed help very last minute for the 4th of July. They were super accommodating in getting us covered. I feel like our two pugs can be a bit energetic but they did a wonderful job keeping them entertained, sent pictures throughout their stay, administered meds for the older dog, and distracted them through the fire works. Pick up and drop off was super easy. We were able to unwind over our trip and not worry. The dogs also seemed super happy and comfortable at pick up. Definitely seems more like they had a puppy vacation. We will absolutely be reaching out again.”
“Kaidan and her partner were such great sitters! My Persian boy even made a friend with their cat Yuzu during his time at their place! I was provided with so many pictures to give me a piece of mind knowing my furry buddy was being taken good care of. I highly recommend! Thanks!!”
“Lana was perfect for my reactive border collie. Her place is quiet and Fizz got plenty of quality time inside and outside. Bonus that she let me park in the other side of her driveway so I could head directly to the airport after drop off then directly back, simplifying my travel plans greatly.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
Rebekah and Billy did an incredible job with my dog Shirlee. I have had bad experiences with Rover in the past and they have renewed my hope that there are caring, competent sitters out there. They showed excitement to meet Shirlee and have her stay with them and I truly felt like they cared about her. I prefer over-communication and Rebekah listened and delivered. I got 37 pictures of Shirlee over the 2 days she was with them. I didn’t worry about my dog once and that’s worth so much more than they are charging. Shirlee seemed happy to be with Rebekah and Billy and seemed very calm when I picked her up as if she had been very comfortable. This matters to me because she tends to be anxious when I’m away. I will definitely try to book with Billy and Rebekah in the future. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.
My two dogs had a great time under Kathleen's care! It's been a while since I have used Rover so I was a little concerned but i'm glad I did. She was able to manage my allergy prone older dog and overly energetic/somewhat reactive younger dog very well. My younger dog is very picky with people and takes a long time to warm up but she worked her magic on him! What a relief. Kathleen was also very accommodating and updated me daily with pictures of my dogs. I would definitely book again!
Savannah did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for 2 weeks. We were able to book her very last minute when our original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly. We're very happy with her and would highly recommend her... She kept in good communication with us, sending pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely book with her again!
Olivia was fantastic to work with. She took care of our dog with so much care and affection. She was so understanding and easy to communicate with. We received pictures often and it was easy to tell our dog Bodhi was having the time of his life. I would definitely work with her again.
I always feel great about leaving my Lenny with Allison and Joe! They take great care of him, always send photos and give him lots of love. I needed them to watch him for a week, the longest I’ve been away from him, and they made me feel very comfortable about being gone so long. He was in great hands!
Matty had a great time and came back a happy camper! Jesse and his wife were great, they were patient with Matty even though he is a very energetic puppy. They played with him, met his needs and gave him all of the cuddles. I appreciated very much the updates and the photos. Would definitely recommend and would definitely rebook :)
Barbara is a wonderful person with a big heart. My little Daisy stayed with her for 2 weeks while I went on a trip overseas. Barbara kept in contact with me sending me pictures and updates of my Daisy giving me peace of mind. My Daisy is almost 10 years old and prefers a quiet home where somebody is home all day. Barbara was the perfect match. When I picked up Daisy after 2 weeks I could tell she was very well taken care of. Daisy was so calm and content and not in a hurry to leave. I will definitely book Barbara's service again in the future and can only recommend her. She is fantastic!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 San Carlos home-away-from-home, 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 San Carlos.
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.
You and your San Carlos 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 , 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 .
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 AZ 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.
