“This was Toffeenut's first time being babysat without his big bro, but I can tell he had fun with the other doggies in the home. Thank you, again, Leah for taking care of my baby boy. And thanks for assisting me with canceling Frappuccino's reservations after he passed.”
“Quang was a great sitter for my senior dog! He was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and sent me photos. He’s also still responsive while I was on a trip. Would book again and I’d recommend him to my friends.”

“Thank you, Malika, for taking care of Cookie. She sent me updates with pictures every day and followed the care instructions very well. Cookie seemed happy while staying there. I will use your service again!”
“This is our first time with Mary. We are very happy with the result. We had a hunch that our dog would have a good time stay. The pictures and captions during the trip showed that they enjoy each other very much. After the trip, it showed our dog is well taken care of and is just as happy as before the trip. When we mention Mary, our dog shows excited and wanting to play with Mary again. We made excellent choice this time. Definitely rebook.”
“Ben did a great job with our dog for the weekend! I knew he was in good hands with Ben’s background, and we came home to a happy puppy. I’ll definitely be booking Ben again. Thank you!”
“I can't recommend Thuong enough! She was incredibly communicative throughout our time away, sending lots of pictures and updates that gave us real peace of mind. She took our dog on regular walks and clearly cared about her wellbeing. From the start she was open to a meet-and-greet and never once pressured us to book, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and trustworthy. We'll definitely be rebooking!”
About: I am a patience ,hard-working ,highly attentive ,punctual and attentive to food and clean water and dedicated dog lover who deeply cares for your furry best friend with years of experiences raising multiple different, diverse breeds such as Poodle, American Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds. Understand the rules and daily routines briefed by the owner such as meal times or prohibited items. I also live nearby a local public park that is very welcoming to dogs where I will love to take them out on walks and to play with them. I enjoy every single day as it has become part of my daily routine when I care for my own poodle 24/7. Throughout the 24 hours, I will be carefully looking after your dog's needs. Morning start early with fresh water feeding and walks exercise or outdoor potty break 30-60 mins. Midday scheduled walks30-45 mins for playtime and energy release. And final meal the day around 6.00 PM. Before bedtime a few hour I will take them outdoor potty break before sleep. Because over the years, I see that each dog has a different personality , so I have learned to understand and how to gain their trust and get along well with them. As I am an animal lover with 15 years of experience, spending time with pets is truly a pleasure. I understand this is well ,and I believe that fellow pet owners feel the same way. This is where I can step in to be a companion for your beloved pets. And most importantly , your pets will not be confined to cages, where I will take care of them as if they were in their own home. There will be space to run and play, and your dog never feel lonely.
“This was our first time that we traveled without our 1.5-year-old puppy, Maple. This time, we made a big decision to trust someone else with Maple’s care. We were anxious about what sitter we might get. Fortunately, we picked an amazing sitter (Yoona & Minjae) that had cared for Maple with flying colors. Before the trip, Maple had a case of diarrhea, but Yoona & Minjae had carefully adjusted her diet and provided the right balance of exercise and rest making her much healthier and stronger than before. Buddy, Yoona & Minjae’s dog had seemed to keep her happy and emotionally settled. Yoona & Minjae was very professional, knowledgable, and diligent. From beginning to end, they kept in touch with us by updating us with photos and thoughtful responses on how she was doing. we were able to enjoy our trip completely at ease, knowing Maple was in the right hands. It’s hard to fully express in words how grateful we are❤️. I’m confident that if you too trust them with your dog that you’ll feel the same way.”
“Christopher and Maria took such good care of our dog while we were away on a six day trip. We had daily messages, updates and photos. Wicket came back, clean, exhausted, and happy. When he had a little itchy spot, they took care of it. When he wasn't eating well, they took care of it. We didn't have to worry one bit while we were away.”
“Oobleck had a wonderful stay with Michael getting daily walks, lots of belly rubs and scratches. Michael took great care of Oobie and I’ll definitely book him again for a future stay. Thank you Michael 😊 Oobie can’t wait to learn more cooking tips, watch the Roomba, and go on sniff walks with you again.”
“Thank you Minh for taking care our our dog Butter like your very own. Minh is very friendly and communicative. It was like we were leaving our dog with family, nothing to worry about, and we knew he would be in good hands!”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Excellent!!! Our Fur-child Zoe was absolutely at home with Melissa & Hyun Dong .

Thank you.”

We had a great experience! We received daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and acting like their usual selves. They also got to enjoy regular walks and plenty of attention. We really appreciated the care and communication and would happily book again! Malika was also very accommodating and helpful when our flight was delayed. Thank you!
This is our second time booking with Natia, and we’re so happy we found her! ❤️ Nova loves Natia and her family, and it makes us feel so much better knowing she’s with people she feels comfortable with. They take great care of her, and we can tell Nova enjoys her time with them. We definitely recommend Natia and will continue booking with her! 🥰🐾
Absolutely the best family I’ve ever left my Lana with! 🤍 From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and knew she was in the best hands. Their little ones are all so sweet and friendly, and Lana had such an amazing time with them. They sent me photos and videos throughout the entire day, so I could see her playing, relaxing, and enjoying herself. Lana is truly my baby, so being able to feel completely calm and not worry about her means everything to me. They were also incredibly kind and helpful and even brought Lana back to me, which I appreciated so much. I’m genuinely so happy I found this family and trust them completely. My only regret is that I don’t live in San Jose, because I would leave Lana with them all the time! I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m in town. Truly the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog sitter. 🥹🤍🐾
My dog stayed with loan 3 nights and I needed her to pick him up and she kindly agreed, she communicated everything and sent tons of pics and videos to make me feel at peace while I was away. She asked the right questions about my dog’s food needs and made him feel like home. Her pup is so sweet and calm and they got along really well. Both of them were the perfect company for my doggie. Thank you so much!🤍
Rachel took such a great care of our Lola. She sends us pictures and update me how she is doing.. she loves playing with the other dogs in the backyard, she looks very happy. Rachel is always there for us and we love bringing our Lola there. We are very happy that we found her.. she is an excellent dog sitter and highly recommended. Thank you very much Rachel
We were so happy to have Fiona look after Tesla for a second time. She's caring, dependable, and makes the whole experience stress-free for us. Tesla is clearly comfortable with her, which says it all. Fiona is now our go-to, and we'll definitely be booking her again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She stayed with her for 3 nights at her home, and from the moment we dropped her off, I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. My dog was experiencing some seasonal allergies and was very itchy, and she was so thoughtful and attentive that she even applied the medicine to my dog’s body as needed. That extra level of care and attention truly meant so much to me. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She was attentive, caring, and went beyond what I expected from a pet sitter. I received peace of mind knowing my dog was being loved and cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their fur babies. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶❤️
We greatly appreciated Alma for being able to watch and take care of our Aura 💕 for 2 weeks. We received photos and updates throughout her stay and it was a relief to see that our girl was in great hands :) She got lots of cuddles, time outside and had areas to sunbathe with her other friends she got to meet during her stay. Alma was easy to reach and was very responsive, we look forward to working with her again in the future ! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻
Our small dog was in Tinarui’s care while we were on a trip. She is so kind and thoughtful. Kept us updated throughout the day and we eagerly looked forwards to her end of day summary which always includes lots of pictures and videos of our picky eater. She also made it a point to update us about his response to medication, food and events during the daily walks. Our dog is not a social butterfly so it was a big plus that she only accepted one day at a time. I’m so glad to have found her. Can’t recommend her enough will definitely be booking her again.
Leah was absolutely amazing! Siena is generally very anxious and a total homebody, so she was pretty scared when we first arrived, but almost immediately after I left, Leah sent me a photo of Siena looking SO happy and comfortable. She loved hanging out with the other pups, and Leah was clearly such a pro with all the dogs. We will absolutely rebook. I think Siena is actually sad to be home and missing all her new friends!
We left out pup, Jomi, with Queenie for a little less than a week, and we could immediately tell how much she genuinely cared for him. She went above and beyond what we asked, even brushing his teeth and giving him delicious, nutritious treats and lots of love and pets. She also made us feel at ease while we were away by sending updates, photos, and videos. It was so reassuring to see Jomi happy and well cared for. We’d definitely leave Jomi with Queenie again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her!
This was our first boarding experience with Raquel, and it was great. Raquel is warm, friendly, and clearly an animal lover. Her little dog, Bailey, was delightful and adorable. Raquel sent photos and updates during the stay which was so appreciated- we knew our precious family member was being well-cared for by a responsible and conscientious sitter. We have found our go-to Rover sitter, as long as Raquel will have us!

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.
93% of sitters in San Jose can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Jose home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Jose.
<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 Jose 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 CA 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.
