“Leo was very comfortable at Mings. She provided regular updates, photos and videos proactively and was very responsive to any question or request. I'll definitely keep Leo with her again when the need arises.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Shawna was able to accommodate Kylo at short notice, which we are very thankful for, as our previous sitter cancelled on us last minute. She also administered his antibiotics and kept us updated on his progress. Kylo had a nice Christmas break with Shawna and family. :)”
“Clara was amazing with our elderly Katy. Especially when Katy needed to take insulin shots day and night. Her home has a huge backyard with established trees and was very well maintained with lots of space for Katy either in the sun or shade under a tree. I would definitely book Katy with Clara again as she took great care of her and treated her as one of her own.”
“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”

“This was our third visit with Jing and things went just as well as usual. :) I appreciate Jing's daily photos (she captures some cute, funny moments) and that she takes them on walks in the neighborhood. The kids seem to enjoy the pups too, which makes me happy. Thank you Jing, looking forward to our next visit!”
About: Raised my 4yo doodle from 8 weeks. Both my husband and I are WFH. As a routine we walk our dog 5 times a day. We are patient, calm and reliable and cherish dogs as they are part of the family. I always communicate well via text and photos to give you a peach of mind while away from home. Both my husband and I are both working from home. Flexible schedule to accommodate yours. Can walk your doggy as often as needed and play with them anytime. We prefer to arrange drop off and pick up times between 7:30am and 7:30pm due to our little kid’s schedule. Appreciate your understanding! Safety is our top priority. We have a safe area for dogs to hang out and pay great attention to the dogs as we are WFH. Dogs will stay with my wonderful, friendly Momo who is a calm and gentle doodle. He is a neutered male with boarding experience before. We have a big backyard with fence so no risk for loss. I only allow one dog boarding at once so your dog will get all the attention it deserves.
About: If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with animals. I'm that person who lights up the second I see a dog on the street and will absolutely ask if I can say hi! I genuinely love animals, and one of my dreams is to open a dog rescue someday and help rescue dogs from other countries. I've had dogs my entire life and have been pet-sitting for years for people I know and other people through a private business (which are all repeat customers!). I've cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and tortoises, so I'm comfortable caring for different kinds of animals and learning their individual needs. I also had a senior dog who I cared for full-time, so I understand how important patience, attentiveness, and a little extra TLC can be, especially as our pets get older. I recently said goodbye to my sweet senior pup, and while I'll always miss him, I'd love to give that same love and attention to other people's fur babies. Honestly, I know how much our pets mean to us because I feel the exact same way. THEY'RE OUR BABIES! Lol! I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves having them around. Whether your pet wants to play in the backyard, go for a walk, cuddle on the couch, play with their favorite toys, or just hang out next to me while I work, I'm happy to meet them where they are! If your pet enjoys outings, I'd also love to take them along on appropriate adventures, with your permission. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that your baby is in good hands. I can't wait to connect with you & meet your fur baby! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! This means I can give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for hours while I'm at work. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities! I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I have a fenced backyard where pets can enjoy outdoor time, stretch their legs, play fetch, and play on the grass. If your dog is small, I also have a doggy stroller I can put them in if needed. I used to have a doggy bed in every room in my house so my dog would be comfortable laying next to me wherever I was in the house. I no longer have those beds, but I have no problem moving your pets bed with me to every room if you want! I'm also happy to send photo and video updates so you can see how your baby is doing while you're away! Whether they're playing in the backyard, enjoying a walk, or snoozing comfortably, I want you to feel reassured that they're being loved and cared for. I've also previously offered dog sitting at their home, but I am currently not offering this service at this time. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a safe environment where they can be themselves. I'll never assume that every pet is the same, and I'll take the time to understand what makes YOUR pet feel happy and secure. At the end of the day, I want you to pick up your pet knowing they were safe, loved, and treated like family. *Please make sure your pet is potty trained and vaccinated! Much thanks!*
“Moose was happy to play with other friends. Cindy and her partner took excellent care of him, gave him all his medicines, sent me pictures to let me know he was OK. I’ll ask for Cindy’s help again.”
“Antoine was very accommodating and welcoming and his adorable dog, Melo was a real champion for our young maltipoo. We had book for 3 nights but had a cancellation in our plans, after asking Antoine if we could come and pick up our dog after only 1 night, he was very understanding and reimbursed us the 2 nights without us asking.”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Yanhong was absolutely amazing with my senior Pomeranian Lexie! She handled all of Lexies special needs as a senior (frequent potty breaks, small frequent meals to avoid vomiting, twice daily meds, separation anxiety and confusion with her advanced years etc) with such love and grace. She communicated with me often with how Lexie’s day was going, how she was eating, pottying and so forth. I received lots of photos and videos of Lexie while we were gone. 🥰 I felt completely at ease and Lexie enjoyed her stay very much. I’m so grateful for her caring nature and her willingness to take on our complicated girl. I will definitely use her again!”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two poms while we were away for the weekend. He played with them, took them on walks, sent us pics each day, and communicated with us frequently. Our dogs were so happy and content when we got home, so I know they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Matthew. He is a true dog lover and a responsible sitter we can trust. Thank you!!”
“Irene and her family were absolutely wonderful with Chantilly while I was away. I felt completely at ease throughout my trip thanks to the frequent updates they provided, which were so thoughtful. It was clear they took great care of her, and it was heartening to see that their family dog, Kenzie, and Chantilly became total besties by the end of the stay. I highly recommend Irene if you’re looking for peace of mind and a loving environment for your pet while you’re away.”

Dyan is a true gem and I feel lucky to have found her through Rover. We learned a lot in the trial visit with Dyan and wow she is an angel. Our baby boy Teddy is so sensitive and struggles with separation anxiety and Dyan and her family took extra care of him to make sure he felt safe and loved. That is all you can ask for honestly. When Teddy is ready we will definitely book Dyan again. Thank you Dyan! Teddy loves you and the kiddos!
Dylan does a great job of taking care of our little dog. He stays in close touch, sending pictures and videos for us to see how she's doing, and asks questions to be sure things are going just as we would like. She always comes home full of energy and looking like she's had a great time. We'll ask Dylan to care for her whenever we're out of town.
We will always be grateful to Sahar and her husband's care after we experienced every pet owner's greatest fear; a health emergency. My dog began to display alarming symptoms not long into his stay. The symptoms would be concerning for a dog of any age but especially serious for my senior dog. She notified me immediately with her concerns, consulted the Rover vet support, and kept me updated on his condition. While we were looking into the logistics on how I could return home, Sahar and her husband took my dog to the vet. Fortunately, his condition was not the worst-case scenario we had feared but something that was easily treated with medication. He went on to happily complete his stay with Sahar. While I hope nobody else will to go through the ordeal of a sick pet while traveling, it is comforting to know that there are sitters like Sahar who will get them the care they need.
We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter! We had an unexpected family emergency, and she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute booking and flexible with everything we needed. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. It was such a relief knowing they were comfortable, happy, and in good hands with her and her family during a stressful time. And we got lots of pictures and updates! Her kindness, flexibility, and willingness to go the extra mile meant so much to us. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter!
Jing was very capable and conscientious in taking care of Patches and Oreo. Our elderly dog Patches needed special attention due to his age and also had to be given antibiotic medication due to an unexpected injury that occurred right before our trip and Jing accommodated that without any fuss.
We left our two pugs with Paul for a long weekend trip, four days. Paul is absolutely an "dog person" and has experience with dogs of many breeds, including pugs! He had great communication before and during the boarding engagement. Our pugs were returned happy and healthy and it was apparent that Paul took very good care of them. I would recommend Paul for anyone who has boarding needs.
Saumya and Gaurav were wonderful! I was a first time user and out of my area. They took such great care of Suzie! I had updates and photos and felt so good about the care she was in for the day! Thanks again Saumya! You really put me at ease all day! I will be in touch if I need help again while in your area!
Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

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 Ramon 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 Ramon 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 Ramon.
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 Ramon. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 Ramon 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.
