“My dog was so chill when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave. I have never seen her so content with someone else. I trust Astrid and her family and thank them from the bottom of my heart for such a good stay. It makes me so comfortable to know my baby is safe with them.”
“We request last minute sitting for two dogs. Tinwa and Jieying were great with our very reactive dachshund yuzu! They are both Velcro dogs and need a lot of love and coddling. However, yuzu is super wary of strangers and won’t warm up easily. We received many many photos and videos (more than past sitters) showing yuzu having a good time and cuddling up with his new friends. they even dropped off the dogs back home for us(:”
“We were looking for a new sitter because our usual sitter was unavailable for an upcoming trip. At the meet and greet with Robin, we were worried when Shamu barked every time she got up and walked around. It always takes time for our cautious dog to warm up to new people. Robin suggested that Shamu stay with her to make certain that they would get along. Wow, we were surprised by the glowing reports and Robin told us that Shamu was a gentleman! Robin and Daniel's loving ways won over our little dog. We are looking forward to using them again.”
“Brenda took great care of Drake! She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also made sure Drake was comfortable, especially with all the fireworks going on. I truly appreciated her care and attention, and I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lea is amazing. She took wonderful care of my Riley! I've never left him with sitter before & I was anxious but she put me at ease & Riley was happy with her. I would recommend Leah to anyone!”
“Yan is amazing. My princess likes her. I was hesitant at first because my dog is not really sociable. But, Yan did great with her. Princess enjoyed her stay. With all the walks and all. Thank you Yan, looking forward to next time. Godbless.”
“Gianina K. was great. She kept me informed about how Sophie was doing. She sent me beautiful pictures of her at play. Sophie appeared to be enjoying her stay which gave me peace.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have several cats of my own, and I’ve even trained one of them to shake hands, roll over, spin, and play dead—yes, really! I believe that building trust is one of the most important parts of caring for animals, and I always use calm, patient, and positive interactions. Over the past few years, I’ve also helped care for a senior Golden Retriever and friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet is playful and curious, shy and cautious, or just wants a quiet companion, I’ll meet them where they are and treat them like part of the family. I currently offer cat boarding, small dog boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also welcome small dogs who are comfortable and friendly around cats. Since cats are part of our everyday household, I want to make sure boarding is safe and enjoyable for both your dog and my resident pets. Small dogs will be treated as part of the family and will have plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship during their stay. For boarding, I live in a spacious 3-bedroom house with my 7 friendly and social cats. My cats are used to living in a multi-cat household and enjoy having companions around. Boarding cats will be able to live, relax, sleep, and play alongside my cats as part of the household rather than spending their stay confined to a separate room. Photos Guaranteed! I love capturing special moments and will always send lots of pictures during each visit so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My schedule is currently very flexible, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for much of the day and can easily adjust my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medications, or any other special needs your pet may have. For boarding pets, this also means they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to spend plenty of time with them throughout the day, whether they want to play, explore the house, relax with the other pets, or simply have some quiet company. Because my schedule is flexible throughout the week, I’m also able to accommodate different routines and provide care that stays as close as possible to what your pet is used to at home. I will hold the leash tight if we meet any dogs or human on the way, if your dog is too excited I will use my body to block the sight.
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Izzy and his family. This was our second booking and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs were so happy during and after their stay. Izzy sent updates and pictures which was appreciated while I was out of town for work. Thanks again Izzy!!”
“This was my first time booking with Robert and I am 100% happy with my experience. Robert kept in constant communication with everything and was very experienced with dogs - I felt very comfortable leaving Goku with him for the 2 weeks. I will be reaching out to Robert for future boardings and would definitely recommend his services to anyone!”
“Terry is a real pro - he really knows how to make dogs feel comfortable and organizes everything around their well-being. Helo loved his stay there and we will definitely be back!”
“Patches and Azula have a great time with Ching and her family. Ching is in constant communication and sends many videos and pictures. She takes care of our pups like her own! Definitely recommended! Hope she will have Patches and Azula in the future.”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”
“HY and Arlo took great care of our 1.5 yr old fluffball Rocky for a few days. HY sent us photos and updates regularly, which I appreciated very much. We felt at ease and trusted that Rocky was in good hands. I highly recommend Hy and Arlo!”
“Jenna and Kristen are wonderful dog sitters! I was able to leave my 3 year old miniature dachshund (she has a bit of separation anxiety and is medicated) with them somewhat last minute and they were super accommodating. My dog loved her time there! When my dog ran out of dog food, they let me know right away and asked if it was okay to feed her their dog food. I received pictures, updates, and at pick up my dog was limping a little bit, and Jenna and Kristen checked in with me immediately stating no incidents occurred but likely she was just exhausted and due to her small size and lack of exercise, this was common. Within a few days she was just fine. Already have my next stay booked! Thank you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Leandro
We’re so glad to have connected with Shivani! We’ve been looking for a dog sitter in the area for a while. Our 5-year-old German Shepherd can be reactive with other dogs, so we’ve been nervous to leave him with just anyone. From our first meet-and-greet with Shivani and her dog Loki, we were put at ease. Shivani was patient and listened to our concerns. She stayed in communication with daily photos and updates, and kept active with walks to the marina. We’ll definitely rebook with her the next time we go out of town.
Wow! Our dog was so calm and happy when we picked him up after 2 nights with Tinwa and JieYing J. I was updated regularly with videos and photos. They played with Prince, took him on walks and treated him like family. I would highly recommend these excellent caregivers!
Our dog Murphy loved her stay with Robyn and her family! Robyn was friendly, took Murphy out on nice long walks, has a beautiful yard for Murphy to play in, and kept us updated with pictures and regular updates. We felt at ease during our trip because we knew that Robyn was taking care of her. Thank you Robyn!!
Jasmine, Gabriel, and Sean were absolutely wonderful with Sparky! They took such great care of him during his three-week stay, sent me daily updates, and even cooked for him. It was clear that Sparky was comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did for him and would absolutely trust them with Sparky again. Highly recommend!
Charlene is our favorite sitter! She is easy to work with and responsive about availability. Henry loves going to her house, and comes home pleasantly exhausted from running around in her yard, attempting to chase her unfazed cats, and hanging with his dog buddies.
From the moment I met Julia, she made me feel completely at ease and confident that Oakley was in great hands. It was clear that Oakley felt comfortable and cared for, which meant so much to me. In the updates i could tell that Oakley was happy and well looked after the entire time. I am incredibly grateful for the love and attention she and Michael gave Oakley.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Leandro 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 Leandro.
<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.

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.
