“Natalia was awesome. Not only she was able to help me watch neeko at a very last minute due to me having to work but she took great care for her. She even walked Neeko for me during her day care stay which was a first from all the different sitter I had. Thank you Natalia!”
“Rosa was great with Ricky. We don’t live far and sometimes on our walks we pass by Rosa’s place and Ricky will pull and fight to try and go there. Owner and pet approved dog sitting!”
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
“Stache had a great time with Golda. He came back to us calm, stress free and happy. That is a sign that he was very comfortable around Golda. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos!”
“Tatiana walked my dog three times while staying at her house and gave her good exercises. She let my dog playing at the park and hanging out with her ground children. I’m sure that my dog had a good time. She also took good care of her by checking her food, trying to feed her until she got enough. She is a good walker and caregiver as well. I’m happy and comfortable to leave my dog with her.”
“Seri came back happy and calm, Mikaela did a great job! Especially with Seri being an anxious dog, it was great that she looked so relaxed in the pictures. Thank you to Mikaela!”
About: My husband & I have been dog parents for nearly 20 years, caring for our 1st furbaby Gelato for almost 14 years (he passed 3 years ago :( ) and currently caring for his sister from another mister Nutella for the past 5 :). We know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else because they’re truly part of the family. We provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. We can only care for a small number of dogs at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention. We do have a dog at home so we will only be accepting dog-friendly dogs. My husband & I will be watching your pup! I work twice a week in the office but my husband will be home full time. We are available during the weekend full time based on our availability. We have a fence front and back yard. As long as your dog isn’t prone to jumping fences we can leave them in the front yard for some outside play time. If not, we have a backyard with a doggy door where they can go in and out all day. Backyard is fully secured.
“She is a total sweetie and very accommodating! My dog can get shy and anxious around new people and other dogs and Julia took great care of her adapting to what will work best to ease some of my girls anxiety. Sent lots of pictures and updates as well, we already booked her for more overnights as well as drop ins! She is very flexible with her schedule and meeting her clients needs. Thank you Julia!”
“The boys completed their first daycare visit; all went well and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Also, appreciated the good communication between Owner and Sitter. We'll be back for another visit soon :)”
“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Lisa was awesome, she accommodated my request within an hour as I tend to get very busy during the day and forget to book ahead of time but she took care of Nero, also named him Mr. Wiggle Butt ? thank you Lisa for baby sitting my fur baby! definitely will revisit again when needed.”
About: I have experiences with Senior care and basic training for puppies. I watch their body languages carefully to know when to pause a play and what they need from me :) Leia and I usually go for a walk in the morning, around 5 in the afternoon and quick bathroom break before going to bed. I work from home most of the time so id love to help to care for another dog so they’re not depressed alone at home whole the parents are off to earn money for their their pawbills 😝 I help to care for friends dogs when they need and I feed them together but separately so they don’t get food aggressive. I also monitor toys so it doesn’t create fights. Because I have Leia, I know the struggle and guilt feelings when you have vacation planned and need to leave the pup. I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.
“Jasmine and Gabriel watched my 4-year-old dog and 3-month old puppy, while my husband and I were at Disney for the day. They took great care of them, and sent us photos during that time, which was very appreciated. We would let them watch our babies again, thank you guys for watching them!”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“Terry is beyond what we could ask for in a dog sitter/trainer/caregiver. He is truly the best. We are new to the area and wanted a reliable and caring space for our puppy to stay and he has treated our pup like his own. We are so excited to have Terry as our go-to person for our pup!”

Whether your pup loves playtime, or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets attention and play breaks. My flexible schedule makes it easy to stick to your dog’s routine midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy some fresh air. Your pet will never feel rushed or lonely here, they’ll get lots of love and care throughout the day! Why You’ll Love Having Me as Your Pet Sitter 🐾 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the joy of raising a chocolate lab from playful puppy days all the way to his sweet senior years, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and care our furry friends need at every stage. I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I also have a large fenced-in yard perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and sunbathing naps! Whether you need boarding, feeding, or quick potty breaks, I’ve got you covered. I treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they are. ✨ Note: All visiting dogs must be house-trained. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!

Super pleased- Jonathan stepped up & accepted our dog sitting at the last minute- after our other dog sitter fell through. Absolutely appreciate the videos & pictures of our boys - Thank You Jonathan for taking care of our boys- I would recommend Jonathan & definitely use his service again .. 👍
Taty and Lenin are amazing sitters for Oreo. They are kind, communicative, & keep him active so when I’m home from work, he’s happy and calm. They’ve been very mindful of what he eats, walking him, training, as well as trying to get him to be less scared of.. well.. everything! 😅 I began booking them everyday in at work to ensure Oreo is well loved. I highly recommend these two wonderful human beings for anyone’s fur baby.
Emerson and his family were great sitters for Bernie. Communication was strong, he even sent pictures and a video to let me know how things were going. We meet the day before so that they would be familiar to my dog. It was a good match from the very beginning. We will definitely use them again.
Julia and Michael have been amazing with our girl Bubba and have always been flexible when we’ve had early or late pickups for her. Bubba absolutely loves coming over and playing with their dog, Cas and always gets excited as soon as we pull up to their place!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your San Leandro commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
