“Eric was amazing to work with! I was truly impressed with his effort to show how he cared for our fur baby during our vacation and how he took the time to always keep us updated. Our girl is a spunky energy bunny who does not understand her weight or strength and Eric did amazing with her! I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be a return customer in the future.”
“Jesse was great and very accommodating! They spoiled amiri and sent pictures and from the pictures that were sent I knew amiri was being loved and well taken care of. They went over and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of.”
“We had a great experience having our dogs on a long stay with Danielle. She took excellent care of both of them and made us feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Communication was great, and we appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. She was especially wonderful with our diabetic dog and very diligent about giving her insulin shots and making sure she is well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs. We would definitely feel comfortable having her watch our dogs again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“So Thankful for Nicole and Rose. They took wonderful care of our spunky 1 year old Shelby with patience and caring. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Shelby was in good hands. Will use them again on our next trip.”
“We always love having Mikey stay with Laree and Keith! They show so much care for him and always send pictures during his stay. He always comes home very happy!”
“Alex is awesome! Our family had to go out of town for couple days and first time to be away without my dog. I was glad to found Alex to take care my dog Mochi. Alex would always send updates on what Mochi is doing, so I would not worry and felt at ease. Thank You Alex!”
“Maggie was great. Poe needed a little more time than usual to the new situation. Maggie sensed that and gave Poe a little more TLC. Maggie sent photos on a regular basis. The best compliment I can give is that I would used her again without hestitation.”
“Emily was wonderful to my Pups!!! They received wonderful care from her and I received daily pictures as well during their stay. They even had a 'PUP" picnic!! I highly recommend Emily as she is incredibly sweet and caring and that is what my babies deserve :) I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We love having Rachel take care of our dog when we travel. We are at complete peace knowing he is best care. The photo updates make even better to see how much he is enjoying his stay. She even makes sure he took his medicine and takes him on walks! Can’t ask for anything more!”
“Marichelle was amazing. I felt so confident leaving my puppy with her for 2 nights while I had to travel. She communicated perfectly and gave me many updates while I was away. I will be using her again soon and would recommend her to anyone !💕”
“We were grateful to find Natalie when we needed a dogsitter for a week-long trip out of state. She was very friendly and accommodating of dropoff and pickup times, as well as coordinating a meet and greet and play date beforehand. Our little Boston, Lola, enjoyed playing with Natalie’s sweet pup, too. Natalie sent me a few photos while we were gone and took Lola on walks. We’ll definitely look to use Natalie again for future trips and dog sitting needs and would recommend her!”
“Rochelle was very communicative and very polite. We felt much less worry about boarding our dog with her for our 8 day trip. She sent pictures, and responded to texts quickly, letting us know we could enjoy our trip without worrying about our pup. This was our first time boarding our dog with Rover, and the experience was great!”
“Candice is a very passionate sitter. She fell in love with my dog after watching him for 10 days. She took him for walks early before it was too hot, bathed him, did a tiny trim near his eyes when his vision was getting a bit blocked by hair, and took so many pictures! It's nice to have someone who will treat your dog as their own.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two large dogs received over the five days we were away! Lance went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and continued to keep us well informed the entire time.”
“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. I received daily updates and pictures and my dog thoroughly enjoyed her huge gated (and grassy) backyard. My dog needs daily medication which Michelle gave to her. I will definitely be a repeat customer next time I’m out of town.”
“The best ever. Our dogs are our kids, they were so well treated. I could not have asked for a better place for them. I would definitely have them stay again. Love them ?”
“I loved the photos and videos and stories that Michelle sent approximately every other day. When I went to pick my dogs up, it was clear that my dogs and her dogs had become a family pack. The four of them greeted me as if the purpose of my visit was to see all of them. Cyrus was on the job when I asked for help getting the cage back out to the car. Looking forward to boarding my dogs with Michelle and Cyrus again.”
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!
Eric did another phenomenal job taking care of our fur baby! He sent us daily updates with photos or videos, and our corgi always looked happy and comfortable. We could enjoy our vacation with peace of mind that Xena was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Eric to take care of your fur baby too!
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
