“Juli is so kind and warm and easy to work with! She was so sweet with our young dog Louise and at our meet/greet I was instantly comfortable leaving Louise with Juli in her lovely home and spacious yard. I deeply appreciated all the ways in which Juli expressed care and concern for, first and foremost, keeping Louise safe while in her care. Even though Louise barked and whined in her crate her first night away from home and was not the perfect guest I had hoped she would be, Juli was completely understanding and told me that it was totally normal, it's part of the boarding process, and not to worry at all. Juli is clearly a "dog person" and is someone you can feel totally safe leaving your precious pet with. We won't hesitate to ask Juli to board Louise again!”
“Ashish was amazing ! Very Punctual, Consistent updates about your pet, and lots of pictures. I typically get very anxious leaving my pup somewhere while I’m out of town, but Ashish took the stress away. Definitely going to be a repeat customer!”
“Viola went above and beyond with the care for our sweet baby Rahki. She got him used to daily walks and gave so much love and care and also was super flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“I'm really appreciate Nadine's care for Laila. She seemed really nervous on the first day despite having a meet&greet beforehand. Nadine was patient with her and she sent an update every day and I love seeing that Laila is getting along with her cute poms. My car broke down on my last day of the trip and Nadine was able to extend the booking for another day and dropped her back to our house.”
“Louis watched our dog for multiple days over Thanksgiving week, and was absolutely amazing. He gave super prompt communication and is very knowledgeable. We felt at ease during our trip knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Louis if you are in need of a great dog sitter!”
“Kelly has such a welcoming and kind personality and our sweet doodle was in great hands while we were away for 6 nights. He was loved, played with and snuggled by her sweet children to keep him company while we were away. Definitely planning to call her again. Thank you, Kelly!”
About: We have been caring our rescued chihuahua mix since 2018. We have also help our friends and families babysit their dogs when they go on vacation. My partner and I currently working remotely at home; thus, our schedule is flexible. Once we are done with our work, we have plenty of time to serve your pet. I will treat your pet like my own pet. I will make sure your pet has access to water easily and have meals at their regular time.
“Eric was absolutely wonderful with our dog Soba! He sent us regular updates with photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. His own dog was a great companion for Soba and it was clear he was having a blast the whole time. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and caring sitter. Highly recommend Eric and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“Brandon took great care of my dog for 2 weeks. He sent us pictures while we were away which was much appreciated. My dog is really picky but bonded well with Brandon. I will be using him again in the future.”
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”

Charlene is the best. this was our second time having our dog friend Churro stay with her. It was so comforting seeing how excited Churro was when we dropped him off. he just wriggled and whined with excitement and didn’t even look back at me to say goodbye….she does a great job of managing all of the dogs in her care and provides consistent updates. she is really great at this and i’m so happy we have found her.
Sunny felt right at home with Lucia, and I couldn’t have asked for him to be in better hands! He was absolutely spoiled in the best way possible, showered with so much love and attention. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for while I was out of the country. He couldn’t have been happier or healthier when I got back. I’m so grateful to Lucia and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family! ❤️
Luciana and Rob are seriously THE BEST! They are genuinely dog-loving people, so easy to work with while super professional and thoughtful in every possible way. Our dogs are sensitive and pretty high maintenance, but they LOVE Rob and Luciana. I can't recommend them enough, so grateful and appreciative of them. I'll give them 100 stars out of 5. 🙏♥️
HIGHLY RECOMMMENDED!!! Lauren and San did an amazing job caring for our little MacGuyver Pomeranian. They took him last minute. We felt they cared for MacGuyver as if he were one of their own. They took all of his detailed instructions in stride and carried out each one of them. They sent videos and pictures throughout his short stay and communicated how he was doing. We will definitely use them again and could not provide a stronger recommendation. We felt MacGuyver was completely safe and sound and we never worried about his care for one moment. Five Stars!!!
Luna saved the day when we had a sitter cancel last minute! She also showed so much care and concern for Hugo and really treated him like family. We got daily updates and photos, and Hugo had a great time sunning himself in the beautiful yard. We will happily rebook here :)
Jennifer and her husband took great care of Niko during his recent stay with them. He enjoyed lots of walks, hanging out with their dog, and his favorite activity —soccer. They were tolerant of our uncertain schedule, and kept us posted with notes and photos while we were away. We will definitely use them again!
Asatur is truly the best pet sitter we could ask for! He takes such amazing care of our dogs, Luna and Pippi, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re with him. He’s incredibly reliable and is always willing to help, even on short notice. One of the things we love most is that he takes care of multiple dogs at once, so Luna and Pippi get to spend their time hanging out and playing with their friends rather than being alone. They absolutely love going to Asatur’s! He’s also incredibly thoughtful and attentive when it comes to their individual needs. He makes sure they’re fed on schedule, gets their medicine right, and genuinely treats them like they’re his own. It’s clear how much he cares about every dog in his care. We couldn’t recommend Asatur more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs, look no further. Luna and Pippi are always excited to see him, and that says everything!
Mariah is incredibly kind, warm, responsible, and flexible. She took great care of Bolo and helped maintain our training protocols (which can be a big ask with a 10 month old pup!) She did careful and thoughtful introductions with her doggies, took Bolo on walks, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent frequent updates and photos, so I could relax knowing my little guy was doing alright. Her house is perfect for dogs - she has multiple gates to separate dogs as needed and a big yard for the pups to play. She also lives on a quiet street, so there are not cars zooming by.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Pablo 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 Pablo 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 Pablo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Pablo. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your San Pablo 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
