About: Hello My Fellow Pet Owners & Animal Lovers! My name is Shobs and I am a huge animal lover. I am very versatile when it comes to taking care of pets. I’ve had many pets of my own including dogs, guinea pigs, fish, and hermit crabs. Currently, I have a 8 year old dog named Sushi. He is a mixed breed. Sushi is the love of my life and he is very silly. I would describe my dog as a very loyal, mischievous, fluffy, chubby, and unique. We love spending time with each other by going on walks and exploring different places. He loves food as much as I do! I absolutely love spending time with animals. I have over 10 years of experience in walking, feeding, playing, and taking care of other animals. Using a platform live Rover will help me gain even more experience taking care of animals and will help expand my skills. Plus, I get to do what I love the most! I do very well with small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. I am very detailed when it comes to care instructions. Your pets are my family as well and I will do everything to provide them with the best care. I never settle for less. I will take your dogs to the dog parks, take them on different walking routes, the beach on the weekends, and we will engage in lots of fun activities together. I have a lot of knowledge on dog treats, dental care, dog toys, and dog breeds. I will do whatever it takes to understand your dog and make sure he/she is very comfortable. Your dog will come back to you very happy and will probably miss me a lot! Lol. I have a huge soft spot for small animals and dogs. Please contact me if you would like to know anything else about me. Also, I would love to establish regular sitting for your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your beautiful fur babies in the future :,) I have full availability all day. I am going to start school in spring but it is online. I will have plenty of time to dedicate taking care of your dog. I have a secured big backyard and plenty of space for your pets. I can accommodate them in any way you need. Thank you :)
“Sally was extremely accommodating and was very flexible when we were a bit late. She sent lots of pics and really did everything to make our puppy feel at home. We will definitely ask Sally to watch Kenzie again.”
About: My name is Emily and I am a huge dog lover! I own an 4 year old cavapoo named oliver and he loves to run, go on hikes, go to the park, or go on long walks! Providing consistent and detailed updates on a daily basis is very important to me (it's what I would want if I left my dog with someone else). Being time efficient and organized is also a strength of mine that I often utilize when planning boardings, walks, or sittings. I am and always have been very passionate and loving towards dogs. I owned my first dog at the age of 2 and have been training/raising dogs ever since then! Rover gives me the opportunity to care for dogs and consistently stay active simultaneously! I am currently on parental leave so I make sure to go in a least one or two adventures a day with my baby and fur baby! I’m at home all day and have tons of flexibility and time to spend with your doggo :) I live right in the heart of San Carlos in a cute little apartment. Oliver loves to spend his days people watching and sun bathing on our balcony or roaming around the space. When we’re not home, we live close to hikes and parks, as well as lots of prime walking real estate AND a dog park!
“As the first time I left Poppy with Karla, Karla was amazing. Poppy was so happy to see her! Karla sent pictures during the day and was very flexible with time, which absolutely saved me!!!”

About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats.

My daily routine includes regular playtime, feeding, and plenty of rest breaks to keep pets happy and comfortable. Our home has a backyard where your pet can go outside for bathroom breaks anytime. Since I have a baby at home, I’m used to maintaining a calm and quiet environment, ensuring your pet feels safe and stress-free. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate special schedules or needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment for every pet I care for. My house is pet-proofed, with no harmful items within reach, and a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and go outside for bathroom breaks anytime. I supervise all playtime and interactions closely to ensure safety and comfort.

“My dog Abby had so much fun at Lei’s place! Abby is usually shy and timid but Lei was able to make her feel comfortable at her place. Lei sent me pictures of Abby throughout the day and a video of Abby playing fetch! I was a couple of minutes late to drop off and pick up and Lei was super cool about it. Definitely looking forward to booking Lei’s services again!”
About: That’s right! My friends know that I will play with their dog, that I’m affectionate, and treat them as if they were my own. My first dog was in 2007 a Chihuahua rescue that I had for 18 years. I have house sat for a Shiba Inu, a Corgi, and cava poo I currently have a Chihuahua mix who is 10 and had a Golden Retriever for 12 years. Since taking care of my own senior pets, I am comfortable administering medications and also crate training or potty training puppies. Currently, I am unemployed so I have plenty of time for walking dogs or pet sitting. Eventually, my schedule will change, but I want to continue pet sitting even when I’m employed. I know how difficult it is to trust somebody to take care of your pet and I want to be able to give other families comfort that their pet is not in danger and will be loved while they are away If the pet is staying with me, they are welcome to sit on the couch with me and TJ or sleep in my bed. While I live in an apartment, we often go on walks in downtown San Carlos or if the parent approves we will go to Foster City Dog Park. If I am watching a pet in the home of another person, my dog TJ accompanies me, I will abide by their rules whatever they may be. I will leave the house in the same condition as it was left.

Deborah is amazing! She took us with a last-minute booking, and we are so happy we found her. Our dogs absolutely had the time of their lives! She sent a ton of photos and videos, communicated everything, and she played with them so much! They were very safe and had so much fun. Absolutely recommend!!
Jingshu and her partner has taken good care of my puppy, Kirby. Kirby still got some bad habits. I appreciate her patience for cleaning up for her. I can feel that she cares about Kirby like her own pet. She was also very responsive when I coordinated the day care details with her. Thanks Jingshu! 🐶
Sally was fantastic! We were a bit worried because our puppy is 9 months old and not really experienced hanging out with other dogs. We could tell by the way Luna said good bye to Sally that our pup had a great time!!! Sally was also super responsive on the texts, and kept us in the loop with lots of pictures. I think Luna really enjoyed hanging out with Sally's Nori (who is a very chill, friendly Shiba.) Thanks so much Sally, we'll see you next time!
This is our first time to have a dog sitter for our baby Salty (frenchie) at first, we’re quite nervous to have her to be taken care of by dog sitter. until we met Ms. Ming-ching. she is nice and and easy to talk with. she always give us updates on what salty’s whereabouts. when it’s time to pick up salty, she didn’t wanna go at first and wanted to go back at Ms. Ming-ching’s place. LOL. it means that salty really likes Ms. Ming-ching for being her dog sitter. Thanks again Ms. Ming-Ching! defenitely will call you again.
Leyla is warm, kind, and professional and took great care of our Maltese, sending updates and photos throughout the day, including a walk, time indoors, and time on her well-protected balcony (safe for pets). Additionally, her home is very clean and pet friendly, with great easily accessible areas for walking outside of her building. I highly recommend Leyla for pet sitting needs and look forward to her caring for our dog again in the future.
Sule did a great job looking after Stella. Her communication was excellent, sending regular updates and photos. She has a genuine love for dogs and Stella was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Sule is very reliable and I am very happy to have found her!
