Highly-rated overnight sitters - Menlo Park
“Sheila was great with my dogs! She did more than she needed to to accommodate the needs of my my dogs and was very patient with them, even when they were less than behaved. I would highly recommend Shiela as a dog sitter!”
“Gail is a dog whisperer. She is lovely, my sometimes very shy dog was in heaven with Gail. Her home is lovely too with a very safe yard for furry friends to stay safe. I will go back.”
“Our dogs live going to Rons, his two dogs are friendly and our dogs live playing with them. He always sends a lot of photos and updates. Ron genuinely enjoys dog sitting. I always feel good dropping them off with him.”
“Beth took great care of Scuppers! I appreciate that she fosters a great dog friendly household with lots of friends and playtime for my active social boy! I was out of the country for two weeks and received daily texts with pics which was a comfort knowing he was having the time of his life . We will stay with Beth and her pack again as long as she will have us!”
““Auntie Sylvie” was THE BEST!! I was so nervous about leaving my pup for the first time, but Sylvie put me at ease with regular updates, pictures and videos. My pup enjoyed her stay and made some new doggo friends. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I will ? use her again! ?”
“This is Brittani's second time watching our two dogs. The first time was for one night while we were having some house work done. This second time was for a whole week while we were on vacation. My ten month old lab started her first heat, so Brittani knew what to do and how things work as she's managed her own dogs and is just an overall experienced animal person. We feel our dogs are in good hands with Brittani. Also, we have had older dogs in the past and boarded them elsewhere, but with our two younger pups, boarding with a person works much better for them as they get the attention they need. Josie and Little Joe were happy to come home at the end of the week, but were very happy with Brittani. They are happy and tired now. I highly recommend Brittani for dog boarding with an experienced and knowledgeable animal lover.”
“The best doggie sitter we could ever ask for ! We know our boy is loved and cared for when he’s with Lesley. Thank you for being so attentive and wonderful with him and for giving us all the adorable updates :)”
“Julie was fantastic! She took excellent care of Rosie, and sent daily pictures/updates to me while I was away to let me know how she was doing. Julie was very pleasant to work with and it's obvious that she loves dogs. I will definitely contact Julie again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Vicky was absolutely amazing. She is so nice and attentive and makes she you feel comfortable and keeps the same schedule. I greatly appreciate her and my dogs loved her. She sent updated without me having to reach out. I will be booking again!”
“Melissa provided wonderful home for my Westie! He was welcomed as part of her family and was obviously very well cared for. This was my first experience with Rover.com & I was very nervous until I met Melissa after interviewing a few others. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog for the weekend & sent several updates each day. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Lauren provided excellent communication and care for my dog. She was quick to respond and my dog was happy to have such a great sitter for his stay! Any future trips will be scheduled with her!”
“Jennifer is a true pet lover! It was obvious from moment we met her. We had no worries about leaving our girl in her care. Seemed like she had a great time based on the photos Jennifer sent us.”
“Boo is a repeat customer with Regina and really enjoys her time there! I have peace of mind knowing my dog is being loved and taken care of the same way I do!!! Thanks Regina!”
“We could not have had a better first experience with leaving our pup with a sitter. Sara & her kids were fantastic! Sara sent periodic updates and photos and I got the impression that peach was not only well taken care of but also well loved. We would definitely recommend Sara and will absolutely use her again on the future!”
“Barbara is amazing. My Bentley is a very sensitive little golden doodle. Bentley gets separation anxiety and depression. Barbara went the extra mile to make Bentley feel loved and reassured. Definitely plan on booking more roofy day cares with Barbara ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).

About: I had a cat of my own when I was a kid. But I have taken care of my sister’s two cats for the past two years while she is out of town. I have stayed at her house overnight to feed, play and give them treats.
“Sarah is an excellent sitter! The cats loved playing with her while we were on vacation. She also responds quickly to any communication! Highly recommended!”
“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”

She made sure that the litterbox was cleaned up daily and that there was enough water for Cleo each day. Jewel made sure to write up a summary after each visit. I came back home to find Cleo as happy and healthy as she was before I left and that she had already been fed. She got along very well with Jewel based on the reports. Overall, I would definitely ask Jewel to look after Cleo again.”
“Allyson was great! Thoughtful, patient and understanding with our nervous dog, and she left the house in great shape. She was communicative as well. We’d definitely book her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Menlo Park
“Midna had a great time with Brittani! She is a puppy with boundless energy but was all tuckered out when she came home. I had to leave town for the day and I'm glad my pup got some exercise and social interaction instead of sitting in her crate all day. Thank you, Brittani. We will definitely be booking with you again.”
About: I've loved dogs my whole life! When I was born my mom had a chocolate lab and a doberman. Then my dad got a rescue pitbull and a husky mix. Right now my family has a mini golden doodle who's been with us for 14 years and a mini Aussie doodle. I also have a pitbull mix named nova! She's two years old. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me! I just graduated esthetician school and I’m currently starting my business. Everything I make on rover goes towards my career! Im currently starting my entrepreneurial journey. Right now I’m a full time pet care giver. I also work a weekend night job. I do not have a set schedule so I have open availability. I prefer to care for pets in my home but I’m always happy to accommodate whatever the client needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and accessible paths for walks. During sittings I make sure to not only take great care of the pet but the clients home as well.

“We had a wonderful experience with Christie and Daniel. They were excellent communicators and sent adorable video updates throughout the day. It was clear they truly love dogs. We also appreciated that our pup had the chance to interact with both doggy friends and their kids, which made for a fun and enriching environment. We would recommend and book them again. Thanks Christie and Daniel!”
About: I currently work from home and am available for all of your dogs needs from companionship, stimulation and bathroom breaks. I pride myself on being available to the dogs and a present pet parent. I work from home and your pet will be included in my day to day activities as if it were my own. I am very attentive caring and sensitive to the needs of my pets which in turn will make me sensitive to the needs of your pet. The pets in my home are cared for as family, they get free reign of the house, they have full access to my back yard and they are not left alone in the back yard.
“Barbara was so kind and easy to work with. She sent pictures and updates of our pup throughout his stay which made me feel relaxed knowing he was safe and having a good time. He got play time and walks and was tuckered out when he got home. It was clear Barbara enjoys what she is doing, which really makes a difference. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Super sweet! Frankie loved hanging out with the doggies and she sent many photos and cared for my dog well. She was very kind and asked good questions to best care for him. I booked last minute and she was very accommodating. Recommend!!!”

“Our experience with Paloma has been great!!!! She is super nice and sweet to my pup, Chloe. We are using her for two weekends in a row while we are visiting Tucson. I would recommend Paloma to anyone needing pet sitting in Tucson!”
“Our dog loves staying at Lara's. She is great with all the dogs that visit, and the "open house" set-up, with a variety of exercise and play options, and checking out the horses and pony is a bonus! Lara is flexible and communicates well about scheduling. We live the photos and videos she sends to reassure us that our pup who sometimes has separation anxiety is doing well. Highly recommend Lara for doggie daycare or overnight boarding.”
“Sally is great! She was very friendly and welcoming to our dog, Finnegan. Sally was also super communicative and flexible with our schedule. Would definitely recommend her to others!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!
“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”
“Marley really enjoyed spending the day with Julie and the other pups! He seemed very happy when I picked him up! I felt very comfortable leaving him with Julie, and will definitely be booking with her again in the near future! Thank you so much for loving my baby Julie ♥️”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.
About: Hi! I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of official pet-sitting experience. From family and friends' pets to Rover clients, I've always loved providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every dog. While I took a break from actively booking through Rover for a few years, I'm excited to be back and look forward to meeting new pets and their owners. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for extra attention and flexibility those days. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll treat them like part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work full time from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. Mondays and Fridays are work-from-home days, so I am available to give extra attention to any pets in my care. I am up early and stay up moderately late, so I can accommodate early morning or nighttime walks that avoid the heat. I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves to play with other dogs. Our home is multi-level, so best for dogs that are physically comfortable going up and down stairs. Our location has a lot of areas for walks, and park play, which is a part of our routine whenever watching a client in our home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I make every effort to mimic any routines they are used to. This assists in helping dogs feel safe and comfortable, and leads to a better overall experience. I am a very clean person, so it is important to me to keep others' spaces that way as well.
“She’s amazing! A huge life saver able to do a half hour cat check in and dog walks last minute after I hurt my foot. Sarah is absolutely wonderful with animals, her genuine passion and love shows in everything she does. I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”
“Super grateful for the wonderful walks and attention Logan gave my dog - she was super happy coming back from walks and I knew she was in safe hands while I was away”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My first dog was a Chihuahua who lived to be 18, so I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and making sure they stay comfortable as they grow older. I've also grown up around horses and farm animals, and I even had a leopard gecko for a couple years. Most of my friends and family have dogs too, so I've spent plenty of time around all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Being around animals has always been something I enjoy! I'm a full time college student, so I have lots of extra time to care for your beloved companions! I have my own transportation and extremely flexible times. I live in an apartment with my Belgian Malinois, so I know firsthand how important exercise, structure, and routine can be, especially for high-energy dogs! I'm very organized and always do my best to stick to each pet's normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at home.
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: I have been a lifelong pet owner, caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I have also looked after friends and family’s pets, always treating them as my own!! I take pride in entertaining and keeping pets happy while their owner is away. As a communication student at the University of Arizona, I have the afternoons, nights, and weekend mornings available. My lifestyle is centered around fitness, wellness, and balance, which allows me to have the energy and flexibility to provide constant love and care for pets. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I promise to make sure that I understand and follow all instructions carefully and create a safe environment for the pet(s) to thrive in. I also respect that each pet possesses unique needs and personality and abide to giving them that attention they request.

I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.
About: Ive had many pets throughout my life. Majority being dogs. Ive had dogs of many sizes and breeds. Ive had three pitbulls, three chihuahuas, two german shepherds, and one saint bernard!! I work part time, my shifts usually being from 6 am - 1 pm on weekdays, which gives me much of my day to take care of your pets! Weekends are a bit more difficult due to the fluctuations in my work schedule but I'm pretty casual when it comes to working around things! I have a fenced yard, its not too big but there is space! I can also take your pet for a walk if they yard is not good enough! I will not leave your pet in a crate but instead allow them to roam freely (Unless you specifically want them to be crated).
About: i’ve grown up with animals my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. i really think there’s no better feeling than the joy and companionship animals bring, and i’d love the opportunity to care for yours. over the years, family and friends have trusted me to look after their dogs while they’re away, and i always ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. i grew up with my brother, who is a professional dog trainer, and while i don’t have the same level of training, i’ve learned so much from him over the years. i can help reinforce simple commands with puppies and younger dogs, and i’m just as happy giving extra love, patience, and attention to senior dogs. i have experience living with and caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, so i’m confident i can meet the needs of every dog and their unique personality. i especially love spending time with high energy dogs who enjoy playing or going on walks, but i’m always happy to adjust my care to whatever makes your pet feel happiest and most comfortable. i am a college student at the university of arizona and am pretty flexible with my schedule. i can do really early mornings before class and most afternoons after class. i am also very open on the weekends and would love to help out whenever needed!!! i always make it a priority to pay attention to your pets’ needs and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. i love spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and playtime they need throughout the day. i also love the calmer moments, like relaxing with them, giving them extra affection, or simply keeping them company when it’s time to wind down. i spend a lot of time with my own animals at home, making sure they receive the care, attention, and love they need to be happy, and i would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care to your pets.
About: Hello I’m Karinnah! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant at an urgent care clinic. I got my VA certification from Pima Medical Institute in 2022 and have worked at multiple clinics over the last 4 years. I also have work history at a couple different boarding/daycare facilities prior to becoming a VA. I am very familiar with boarding, daycare, and veterinary environments so rest assured, your 4-legged pal is in responsible hands. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other little beasties, nothing is too out of the ordinary for me these days. I grew up with many pups and kitties in my life so it’s a familiar feeling having animals around constantly. As a CVA I have professional training in general, emergency, intensive veterinary care so I am able to adjust to any of your pets medical needs if necessary. I am also a pet parent myself with 2 crazy dogs and 1 spicy cat and understand how important getting proper care for them is. My clinic is open weekdays from 3-11pm and weekends 10am-8pm. I am off on Saturday, Wednesday, and Thursdays typically. I can probably take bookings earlier in the day on days I work with enough notice. Whatever setup you have in your home I am willing to work with, it’s all about your buddy’s comfort and your peace of mind! If you have a reactive or aggressive dog I’m willing to do house calls. Any feeding or medication accommodations are fine with me as well.
“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”
About: I'm a lover of every animal I've ever met, with a background in pediatrics, medication administration, foster animal care, neo-natal pet care, first aid and pet/house sitting. I've personally had cats and dogs since I was very young, other small animals as pets as an adult (rats, chickens, goats) and have spent much of my life caring for the pets of friends and loved ones when I couldn't have pets of my own. I love to provide training for young kittens and pups, and have a special love for elderly and special needs animals. We are new to Tucson and hoping to meet and care for as many animals as possible! I am a consultant who works remotely and also own a home in Tucson, complete with my own pets. As such, I have a strict policy of honoring my clients' trust and delivering the quality of care that I would hope for our own home and loved ones. I'm a consultant with a very flexible, remote schedule. I can easily adapt my meeting and work schedule around the needs of pets and others. I like to have conversations about what will make families and clients most at ease at the beginning of our time working together, and then follow through to make sure trust is built quickly and deeply. This can include following special protocols, providing lots of photos and videos, and calling or texting immediately if something arises that I don't yet know the answer to, such as how to help an animal through a surprise stressful situation or where a favorite toy might be hiding. I am engaged and attentive and learn animals' boundaries and interests quickly and easily.

“Gail is a dog whisperer. She is lovely, my sometimes very shy dog was in heaven with Gail. Her home is lovely too with a very safe yard for furry friends to stay safe. I will go back.”
“This is Brittani's second time watching our two dogs. The first time was for one night while we were having some house work done. This second time was for a whole week while we were on vacation. My ten month old lab started her first heat, so Brittani knew what to do and how things work as she's managed her own dogs and is just an overall experienced animal person. We feel our dogs are in good hands with Brittani. Also, we have had older dogs in the past and boarded them elsewhere, but with our two younger pups, boarding with a person works much better for them as they get the attention they need. Josie and Little Joe were happy to come home at the end of the week, but were very happy with Brittani. They are happy and tired now. I highly recommend Brittani for dog boarding with an experienced and knowledgeable animal lover.”
“The best doggie sitter we could ever ask for ! We know our boy is loved and cared for when he’s with Lesley. Thank you for being so attentive and wonderful with him and for giving us all the adorable updates :)”
“Julie was fantastic! She took excellent care of Rosie, and sent daily pictures/updates to me while I was away to let me know how she was doing. Julie was very pleasant to work with and it's obvious that she loves dogs. I will definitely contact Julie again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Vicky was absolutely amazing. She is so nice and attentive and makes she you feel comfortable and keeps the same schedule. I greatly appreciate her and my dogs loved her. She sent updated without me having to reach out. I will be booking again!”
“Melissa provided wonderful home for my Westie! He was welcomed as part of her family and was obviously very well cared for. This was my first experience with Rover.com & I was very nervous until I met Melissa after interviewing a few others. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog for the weekend & sent several updates each day. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Highly recommend Melissa!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Lauren provided excellent communication and care for my dog. She was quick to respond and my dog was happy to have such a great sitter for his stay! Any future trips will be scheduled with her!”
“Jennifer is a true pet lover! It was obvious from moment we met her. We had no worries about leaving our girl in her care. Seemed like she had a great time based on the photos Jennifer sent us.”
“Boo is a repeat customer with Regina and really enjoys her time there! I have peace of mind knowing my dog is being loved and taken care of the same way I do!!! Thanks Regina!”
“We could not have had a better first experience with leaving our pup with a sitter. Sara & her kids were fantastic! Sara sent periodic updates and photos and I got the impression that peach was not only well taken care of but also well loved. We would definitely recommend Sara and will absolutely use her again on the future!”
“I was extremely happy with how Caitlin took care of our 3 older dogs for a 4-day stay in December. She sent me pictures and updates every day, and followed feeding and care instructions closely for my geriatric guy. She made sure to ask me if it was okay to introduce my dogs to any new dogs, to make sure I was comfortable with it. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone and I will definitely book with her again ?”
“Patrick was great with our two doodles! He was very responsive and gave us daily updates with lots of photos. It was nice that they had occasional doggy company from the neighbor's dogs.”
“Can we give 100 stars? We went to Hawaii and are pretty sure our dog might have had more fun with Lara than we did on our trip. (Which is hard. The trip was awesome.) ?? Our dog is a dog's dog. He loves playing with others pups, and had the chance to do so all week. Every single video she sent showed him just having the best time with the other dogs-- and he even got to go out with the horses on the road! Our dog has A LOT of food issues and it was worrying that he would get into something (he is unable to eat anything except for his specialized food)-- not a problem. She kept him safe and made sure he didn't have anything he wasn't supposed to. Lara and her family are a true dog sitting gem. I need to plan another vacay just so our guy can stay with them again. Thank you, Lara! Consider us fans for life.”
“Highly recommended Tammy and Stephen to take care of your pup! They went above and beyond my expectations! Lots of walks and playtime along with daily updates! Will use again!”
“Oh my gosh, Debra and Dennis were fantastic! Our Tootsie dog was their lone boarder, was walked twice a day, and provided with undivided attention. They were concerned and caring with her senior status and comfortable providing her meds. She was happy and contented when we came to pick her up.”
“Tango’s home away from home. Austin treats Tango as his very own fur baby and it always bring absolute comfort to me. Great communicator, professional and follows care instructions to the ‘T’. So thankful for them!! 🥰”
