Top rated San Carlos doggy day care sitters
“Amazing care! They’re such kind individuals and really enjoy taking care of you’re furry friends and family. They made sure she played lots and she was feed as well. I also enjoy knowing that she is playing and enjoying time with other dogs and with Lauree & Keith! Thank you so much and I will definitely be coming back!!”
“Alex is wonderful we got numerous pictures and updates for Lila’s two week stay and she loved being there with the other dogs. We will definitely be using her again. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Danielle was so sweet and awesome! She made sure I was comfortable before leaving my fur baby! She was great on keeping me updated! Highly recommend her to dog sit your fur baby!!”
“Susan watched our two Huskies for several doggie day care visits. She and her husband were so friendly and easy going, we immediately felt at ease leaving our furbabies with them. You can tell that they really enjoy having dogs around. Our dogs got walks, playtime, and we got plenty of pics/updates. I would highly recommend Susan. She will be one of our first choices when looking for care again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so pleased. Joy and Matthew took wonderful care of our dog Finn. We enjoyed the photos they sent each day in their care. We will most definitely be using Joy and Matthew again. Thank you.”
“Joey and Ally have been absolutely patient and sweet with my shy dog! I was anxious about leaving my skittish dog in an unknown territory but both Joey and Ally were understanding and respected my dog’s boundaries until he felt comfortable enough to approach them. I look forward to boarding my dog with them in the future with them!!”
“Our pups had previously gone to two other sitters on Rover, and we have seen them skittish, having accidents upon arrival, and hiding from more anxious energy and animals. One of these sitters had a cat out that was not disclosed to us, knowing that one of our dogs get out of their mind around cats. It was really bizarre. So Kathryn was our final try at the app, and holy cow, the stark difference between the energy of the space and care for our boys! Our babies lovvvve Kathryn and her partner. No accidents, two excited babies, and we can tell Kathryn sincerely loves our boys and spends time with them. We’ve booked several times with her in a short timespan because there’s so much sincere trust for them being with her. They run into her home upon arrival (which is rude of our boys, lol) and they (finally) come home happy and without anxiety. We adore her. 10/5 stars.”
“This was the first time I have ever left Benji with someone and I could not have been more pleased! He did not want to get in the car and leave! I will be booking in the future with Doris and her family”
“Vanessa is amazing! Leo loves going to her house and playing with her dogs. He whines to get inside when I drop him off! Vanessa is also very easy to work with, flexible and sooo nice! I can’t say enough good things!”
“We are very lucky to have found Bernadette. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and she made us all (including Coco) feel at ease right away. Our trial day care went really well. She sent us videos of Coco so we can see how she is doing. This means a lot to us because we are first time dog parents and this is the first time Coco did day care and we are all a bit anxious. Thank you Bernadette!”
“Stephanie was a new experience with several dogs in the home. Cuddy was a little shy but warmed up to them and Stephenie's family. Cuddy was happy to see her each morning - learning a new routine. We will definitely return when in Arizona and in need of a Rover.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love having them around. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog! People say I’m the dog whisperer because they just seem to like me. I’m retired so I’m home. I do puzzles and reading and I really enjoy the company of dogs, walking them helps me get my steps in. I can take care of feeding and walking dogs. I do live in an apt and walk my dog 4 times a day, so they would get plenty of exercise and lots of hugs!
“Nicole and Rose did a great job caring for Keeko! They took such good care of him and he was so happy hanging out with them. Would definitely recommend them to care for your pups!”
“I was coming in from out of town and needed my dog watched for the day while I was at a wedding. I’ve never used Rover before and was a little nervous because he gets pretty bad separation anxiety. Nichole was so nice and took such good care of him and just hung out with him for the day which was exactly what we were looking for! She even sent us pictures of him to keep us updated on how he was doing :)”
About: Preferred Name: Shelly Pronouns: she/her I have a genuine love for all animals, but I have a special soft spot for the gentle giants and bully breeds. I understand their unique personalities and needs, from the extra exercise and structure they thrive on to the snuggles they secretly love. I combine patience, calm energy, and plenty of playtime to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and understood—whether they’re a lap dog or a 100-pound cuddle buddy. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that’s potty breaks, playtime, or a midday cuddle session. Daily walks are a given, and I love taking dogs on “sniffaris” for mental stimulation… including our favorite: long, leisurely strolls down the aisles of Lowe’s to sniff all the new smells. Maybe they can even help me sniff out my future partner. Talk about multi-talented. Are you a shift worker and need odd hours like a middle of the night drop off/pick up? I got you! I’m a night owl and willing to accommodate most schedules. Whether pets are staying at my place or I’m caring for them in their own home, I aim to stick as closely as possible to their normal schedule so they feel safe and comfortable. That said, I believe pets are on vacation too, so sometimes that means an extra treat, a new enrichment activity, or a bonus walk to make their stay extra special. My goal is to give them the perfect balance of routine and fun. For my boarding clients, please note: While I don’t have cats, my neighborhood does have a few kitties that roam around. It is highly likely that your floof will have a kitty sighting at some point during their stay. If your fur baby is highly reactive to cats, I might not be the best option.
About: I have one dog of my own, he would love to have a friend around during the day. He is an 8-year-old Manchester terrier. We love to drive to the park down the street for an early afternoon walk and then lunch. The house is cool and a nice living room for them to hangout I work from home. I go to the gym early in the morning, along with a mile-long dog walk. I am home to watch and care for the pups throughout the day I have a doggy door with a fenced patio for them to go out during the day if needed. I also have a camera to keep an eye on them

“I don’t have family that lives nearby; in the past I was always able to have a family member take my pup when we had to leave him for a trip. Shelly took care of my pup for the first time a few years ago; we were flying and couldn’t bring him with us internationally. She was gracious enough to let him stay with her at her home. Shelly sent us updates and pics from her little adventures during the week with our Wallace. It was great! She is out go to bow for anytime we need help with Wallace! He loves her as much as we do!”
Victoria N.
“I highly recommend Victoria as a pet caregiver. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending quality time with pets, she goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and well cared for. You can trust that your furry friend is in great hands with Victoria.”
