“Kelly was amazing! She is so thorough in getting to know both the dog and owner at the meet and greet. She put our shy dog at ease immediately, and our dog was very comfortable during her first daycare day. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Danielle took great care of my dog! Usually my dog is very sad when I leave but she was running to meet Danielle and to get inside. She played all day with Danielle’s dog and they became fast friends. I loved all the photos and updates I received throughout the day! My dog was in safe hands, I couldn’t recommend Danielle more! I will definitely have her babysit again”
“Aman was very kind and gracious to watch our dog Whiskey on fairly short notice. He took great care of her and was highly responsive! I would definitely recommend and will reach out to him in the future.”
“My puppy Kazoo loved meeting Lee! Her home is a little dog heaven w other sweet pups to play with and a spacious yard to run around. She immediately made my shy pup feel at home. Will definitely be back ❤️”
About: I’ve done neighborhood dog care in high school for 2 years and in college occasionally take care of my friends cats while they are away. I’m a full time student at Cal but my classes are all during the morning so afternoons and evenings I am normally available to go for walks, feed, or play with pets. I have a fenced back yard and a pet friendly lease for my apartment. While boarding I would put fragile valuables away securely in my loft.
“Ashley helped us out in a pinch and exceeded our expectations! She cared for our dog and quickly helped acclimate our anxious dog. We’ll definitely be asking Ashley for services in the future! Thanks for loving our pup like your own :)”
“This is the second time our senior pup stayed with Renae for the day and he had another wonderful time! Renae is very responsive when booking, and she shared that our dog was settling in well shortly after he arrived. We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
“Finn had a great time with Vanessa. She’s very kind and easy to communicate with, and Finn appreciates her great yard. Finn had a great time with Vanessa’s dog Robin. We will definitely book again!”
About: I have 3 lazy shih tzus who loves to be chauffeur in their stroller. We live in a house with fenced yard that has a nice lawn for relaxation or doggie tag. I have been caring for dogs since college (a long time ago!) from puppies to seniors. My doggies and I have travelled all of the country when I used to travel often for work, which trained me with care techniques as well as identifying behaviors and administering medications. I am 5 minutes walking distance from Berkeley Dog & Cat 24 Hours Hospital and can quickly get medical attention when necessary. The neighborhood has a handful of nice spaces for strolling, including parks, college campus, and quaint streets lined with shops. I have 2 teens who also love animals and occasionally help look after the dogs when I briefly step out for groceries or similar errands that are close by. The doggies all enjoy indoor and the fenced back yard. It is clean and secure. They also love sitting on the front porch with me and people watch. I do have a crate, but most of the time they are free to roam around the house. I never have more than 6 dogs, including my own, so that each one will get adequate attention.
“Jeff and Beth were amazing. I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience. This was my first experience with Rover and my new shelter pup Lulu. Lulu is a bit anxious and takes some time to warm up. I felt Jeff and Beth were so loving, caring and patient with her and she seemed to really settle in and enjoy herself with Jeff and Beth and the other pups. Their space inside and out is AMAZING…a dog’s delight. I plan to return soon!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, have been pet sitting for the past 10 years for friends and family, and we now have a dog daughter of our own – a 3 year old standard poodle. We'll care for your dog just like we care for our own – as part of our family. I work from home primarily and my partner works from home occasionally so your pet will never be alone for too long. We have a yard where our dog and a neighboring dog like to play and we go on 3 walks per day at minimum in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Whether your dog enjoys lots of social time and play or is more relaxed, we are set up to provide your dog with the care and safe space they need.
“Jessie is a great dog sitter! She is communicative, sent great picture updates and even took my energetic 1 yr old pup on a long hike to tire him out. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: As a Registered Nurse with 28 years of caregiving experience, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to pet care. I personally cared for my own beloved dog for 20 years — through every life stage — including administering medications, managing special diets, and providing gentle senior care. I’m especially comfortable with: • Senior dogs and pets with special needs • Giving oral medications and supplements • Monitoring for health or behavior changes • Maintaining consistent routines • Offering lots of love, patience, and walks! My nursing background means I’m highly observant, dependable, and focused on safety and comfort. What sets me apart is that I truly understand pets are family — and I care for them with the same heart and attention I gave to my own. My husband calls me the dog whisperer! I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. My home features a fully fenced, dog-friendly backyard with a doggie door leading from the deck to the yard — perfect for safe outdoor access. I live on a quiet, flat cul-de-sac in the Oakland Hills, ideal for peaceful walks. I also enjoy visiting nearby parks and hiking trails, many within walking distance, for fresh air and exercise with furry friends I have a fenced backyard dog and currently I do not have any dogs or pets of my own for the time being. I live in a safe, quiet and peaceful area. I do not require dogs to be crated.
“Anchisa kept my dog Walter for doggy day care on my long work days. I am completely pleased and so happy we found her! From time of booking throughout his whole stay her communication is excellent with updates and pics! He is no longer nervous when I get ready for work since he knows he will be seeing her. I would trust her completely for boarding if I leave town as well. I am so grateful we found you!”
About: My husband and I care for dogs as if they were our own—with lots of love, patience, and playful energy. We have two friendly Border Collies, so your pup will have great company if they’re comfortable with other dogs. Our home features a large, secure fenced deck for safe outdoor lounging and play, and it sits on 1/3 of an acre for plenty of space to explore (with supervision, since it’s unfenced). We’re both active and attentive, offering daily walks, enrichment, and one-on-one care. I’m especially tuned in to body language and eye contact to make sure each dog feels safe, seen, and comfortable. Whether your pup is a high-energy youngster or a senior needing extra TLC, we tailor our care with calm, consistent support. Pet care is naturally woven into our daily life—it’s something we truly enjoy. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, including potty breaks, playtime, and walks. Our own two Border Collies keep us active and in tune with dog needs, so adding another pup into the mix fits right into our rhythm. When caring for pets in our home, we treat them like part of the family. We provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of play, structured routines, and lots of attention. Dogs have access to our large, fenced deck for fresh air and safe outdoor time, and we supervise any play in our unfenced yard. Our two friendly Border Collies help make guests feel right at home, and we’re careful to monitor interactions to ensure everyone gets along well. We follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible, and we’re happy to accommodate special needs like medications, or senior care. Whether I’m working from home or we’re both around on evenings and weekends, your pup gets the attention, structure, and love they deserve.
“Amy is the peace of mind you need when you leave your beloved pup for the evening! With Amy, I received a timely response, stellar communication, and, above all, felt the genuine love given to our little Millie (Spoiler: it was top notch) Can't recommend her services enough!”
“Shanley was very sweet with Ruby. She was very thorough in asking questions to ensure she could take good care of Ruby during the day. We got great photos and updates during the day. And Ruby came back so happy!”
“Donald was available on short notice to watch my dog for a weekend day. He took great care of her, communicated well, and sent me multiple pictures throughout the day. Street parking for drop off/pick up was super easy, always a bonus!”

Taryn & Jeffrey T.
“Taryn and her husband Jeff have lovingly cared for our dog Chips several times and he always comes back happy and healthy! Their dog Peixe is one of Chips's favorite playmates; Peixe is incredibly well-behaved and cared for beautifully. One time while watching Chips, the Bay Area had a crazy heat wave and I felt totally confident that he was safe and comfortable while we were away despite his thick fur and high energy level/exercise needs. Chips is a bit of a wild man on walks/hikes and they deal with him SO well! Loving, conscientious, safe, and fun - those are the hallmarks of Taryn's caregiving style <3”

Daniela O.
“We can’t recommend Daniela enough. Our dog Sasha is sweet but a little sensitive—she gets anxious around other dogs, is picky with food, and can get overly excited when meeting new people. So we’ve always been really cautious about who we leave her with. Finding Daniela was such a relief. She only watches one dog at a time, which is exactly what Sasha needs. No crowded homes or chaotic pack dynamics—just calm, focused attention. Daniela lives in the Oakland Hills and takes Sasha on long walks at the regional parks nearby, and even brings her along on peaceful weekend trips to Tahoe. Honestly, Sasha goes on vacation when we can’t take her with us! Daniela’s also a nurse, and you can tell she brings that level of care to how she looks after dogs. She keeps us updated with texts and pictures, and even gives us little health and care tips when we pick Sasha up. We never feel out of the loop, and we always know Sasha is in safe, loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, especially if your pup has quirks or needs a bit of extra TLC, Daniela is the one. Lidia. ( Sasha’s mom)”

Over 3 pet parents in Upper Rockridge have booked doggy day care
Upper Rockridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lee is the absolute *best*! When I had to leave my puppy for the first time ever (for a weeklong trip to the east coast), she was super great about reassuring my nerves and keeping me updated on his daily shenanigans—her love for and delight in caring for pups was tangible from our first Rover exchange. Lee's also very knowledgeable; I hadn't realized there was something I could do for my pug's reverse sneezing, but she showed me how to help him out and was great about managing his medications. And when, on a recent frantic morning, I discovered I'd somehow lost my car's key fob in between dropping off my puppy at her (extremely dreamy) doggie daycare and my workplace, she went the extra mile to help me in my desperate efforts to track it down, even checking with her neighbors and going on Nextdoor. TL;DR, I can't say enough great things about Lee and her backyard doggie oasis! And I know my puppy Raisin feels the same!
I highly recommend Paula for your dog care needs. As a registered nurse and neurotic dog mom, I’m very particular about who I will leave my dogs with. Both my babies have allergies with special food for each, need sunscreen and have behavioral quirks as they are brothers from the same litter. Paula has been great with me and my dogs- something I cannot say about every dog sitter on Rover. With my unpredictable schedule she has been very understanding of cancellations and time changes. They are so happy when they get to her place and tired and well stimulated when I pick them up. Thank you Paula! I am so grateful!
Kenneth cared for our Rottweiler mix, Tahoe, on a last minute request! He was very knowledge and we instantly knew we could trust him with our rescue. He clearly understands dogs and loves them. He sent us updates and Tahoe enjoyed his time out in the patio & getting to know Maze. Reliable and truly caring!
We’re so grateful to Ashley for taking such great care of our pug, Baton! She stepped in last minute and was incredibly accommodating. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated and sent us the cutest pictures of Baton, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear Baton was in great hands and got lots of love and attention. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter! Thank you so much!
Alexis is an amazing dog sitter. She’s communicative, responds in a timely manner, and is very flexible and I understanding. Our young and energetic dog loves spending time with Alexis! She runs towards her door the moment I park to initiate the drop off which is a clear indicator our dog is super excited to see her. Thanks, Alexis!
Kaitlyn was great- responsive, flexible in scheduling a meet and greet and our dog seemed to take to her right away. She walked our dog several time throughout the day and gave several updates, including pictures. I would definitely recommend Kaitlyn and hope to book her for doggy day care again.
