Highly-rated overnight sitters - Menlo Park
“This husband-and-wife team is absolutely amazing — responsible, loving, and caring. They treated our dog like their own and sent regular photo updates during the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Their sweet dog Jaxson even showed ours how to use the doggie door! They were so thoughtful and even gave us a slow-feeding bowl to take home. We’ll definitely use them again on our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“Katarina was fantastic, she was responsive, communicated and sent pictures very often which we appreciated. She made our timid dog feel comfortable which is always great. We will definitely book with her again! The price was also very good and fair which was very good as well.”
“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!”
“Hoshi and Duncan love it at Beth’s. They spent 11 days with her and were well-care for and happy when I picked them up. I’ll be booking with her again soon!”
“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.”
“Gail is just incredible. Moxxi loves to head over, willingly walks in to her home. This speaks volumes! Recently, we had plane delays and I didn’t have enough food for Moxxi and Gail went to get more food for her and was incredibly pleasant and positive. I always know Moxxi is cared for greatly when I leave and that brings me so much ease.”
“Torta never wants to leave when I come to pick her up! She has such a wonderful time at Regina’s, she loves her dog and has plenty of time for play and for down time. They are such a nice family and we are happy repeat customers!! Regina always sends pictures of Torta while I’m away too which helps me when I miss her!”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“My Zoey had an awful experience last time she was boarded so I was very reluctant to to find a new place and Sylvie was the best. I loved the daily updates and Zoey had the best time”
“My high energy dog had such a great time staying with Brittani! She really makes her guests feel at home and gave him the attention and socialization that he needs.”
“Her and her family were great! They seemed like super sweet genuine people. I had to find a last minute sitter as my usual girl had canceled on me due to an emergency of their own. After reaching out to so many people on here she was the only one who responded! She sent pictures throughout the day and provided me with feedback on how my little guy was doing! She was seriously a lifesaver and they definitely got the energy out of my puppy. He knocked out as soon as we got home lol!”
“She really does care about furry family members, treats them with love and kindness. She was always in touch and sending pictures. My babies were comfortable and well take cared of.”
“Ashley took great care of Luna. She was very prompt in communication and even sent updates/videos of Luna having a blast. I am happy to trust Ashley with my fur baby and we will definitely be returning customers.”
“Marraya and her mother went above and beyond to accommodate our tiny but mighty chihuahuas for an entire weekend. They cared and loved our babies like if they were their own. Fur babies had to board at Marrayas house which was so clean and smelled so fresh. Abe and Zena do have special requirements and they were all fulfilled. Marraya was very commutative with updates and cute photos! She will be our go to sitter for any trips! 🙌🙏🙏”
“We have used Daniel multiple times now, and I can confidently say he is truly one of a kind. Daniel is such a kind, warm, and caring person, and it clearly shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. Our dog, Klay, absolutely loves him and he especially loves spending time with Daniel’s dog, Linus. Klay is always so happy and excited when we arrive at Daniel’s home. It has become a place of joy for him. In fact, today when I picked Klay up, I could see the sadness in his eyes as we drove away. He kept looking back at Daniel’s house, and as his mom, I know that look , he was going to miss being there. That alone tells me everything I need to know. Klay is always well taken care of, loved, cuddled, played with, and treated like family. With Daniel, I never have to worry. I know my dog is in the best hands. To any dog parents looking for someone you can truly trust. Daniel provides so much love, attention, playtime, tickles, and genuine care. Your fur babies will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Thank you so much, Daniel. We appreciate you more than you know!💜”
“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”
“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Menlo Park

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!

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!

“Ashley does such a good job of attending to all the dogs in her care, which we can verify because she sends short videos throughout the day showing how each dog is getting along. I’m very pleased and happy for my little two year old Sunny Girl who stays with Ashley twice a week. I especially wanted Sunny Girl to have a chance to play and run with other dogs, and she’s getting that.”

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.
“Logan is so attentive to your pet! He trimmed my dogs nails when they were too long and I really appreciated him going out of his way to make sure my baby was comfortable while I was away.”
“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!”

I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to treating your pets like my own and doing things right for your pet and home. My current schedule is flexible and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. This makes it easy for me to maintain routines, provide attentive care, and accommodate longer stays or mid-day visits when needed. I don’t currently board pets in my own home, but I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your routine closely and ensure pets always have clean water, enrichment, and a calm, attentive presence. I prefer a free meet-and-greet before booking, especially for households with dogs. For cats, I respect their individual rhythms — whether that means affection, play, or quiet companionship — and I keep litter areas clean and well maintained.
“Mikayla is very reliable and professional. Luke has enjoyed his long walks. It usually takes a few walks for him to relax with a new person walking him but he seems to have taken a quick liking to Mikayla!”
About: I have fostered 8 dogs (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of different ages, temperaments and needs has taught me so much. I have experience with both dogs and cats (and birds and fish!). I work as a substitute teacher, giving me flexibility to take pet-sitting jobs on short notice. I am also available for overnight pet-sitting and longer house-sitting bookings. As a dog foster, I have learned to be exceptionally careful with new dogs. Respecting their space, while being friendly and encouraging. Taking extra precautions when leaving the house or letting them out into the yard. I understand that change and new people can be stressful to a dog and am careful to avoid additional stressors. I feel immense responsibility for the pets in my care, as well as other pets and people we encounter on walks. I also want the dogs to have fun and relax when we are at home. I really enjoy getting to know new dogs and hope they see me as a new friend ☺️

She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”
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.
“Emily is very accommodating and professional. My dog is large and strong and Emily handled her with ease and gave her extra exercise and attention! Highly recommend! She is very responsive and informative and my dog just loves her!”

“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!”
“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.”
“Gail is just incredible. Moxxi loves to head over, willingly walks in to her home. This speaks volumes! Recently, we had plane delays and I didn’t have enough food for Moxxi and Gail went to get more food for her and was incredibly pleasant and positive. I always know Moxxi is cared for greatly when I leave and that brings me so much ease.”
“Torta never wants to leave when I come to pick her up! She has such a wonderful time at Regina’s, she loves her dog and has plenty of time for play and for down time. They are such a nice family and we are happy repeat customers!! Regina always sends pictures of Torta while I’m away too which helps me when I miss her!”
“One of my guys was recently put on medication, and I was a little worried about leaving him with a sitter. Dana was terrific about it. My boys got a so much attention and came home happy.”
“My high energy dog had such a great time staying with Brittani! She really makes her guests feel at home and gave him the attention and socialization that he needs.”
“Her and her family were great! They seemed like super sweet genuine people. I had to find a last minute sitter as my usual girl had canceled on me due to an emergency of their own. After reaching out to so many people on here she was the only one who responded! She sent pictures throughout the day and provided me with feedback on how my little guy was doing! She was seriously a lifesaver and they definitely got the energy out of my puppy. He knocked out as soon as we got home lol!”
“Ashley took great care of Luna. She was very prompt in communication and even sent updates/videos of Luna having a blast. I am happy to trust Ashley with my fur baby and we will definitely be returning customers.”
“Julie was so patient with my 10 month old puppy, she kept me updated through text messages and pictures every day! That gave me the confidence to enjoy my trip without having to worry if my pup was being treated well. I will continue to book with Julie for as long as she is available!”
“Annie and her husband are extraordinary people. They took care of Roscoe, like he was there own. Annie took Roscoe on hour long walks, her husband hung out with him on the couch watching tv. Roscoe had a wonderful weekend. I had a wonderful vacation knowing that he was in good hands.I would highly recommend Annie her husband to watch your dog! Roscoe will definitely be going back to visit when I go on another vacation!”
“Uncle Pat is such a great guy! He may be 'Shadows' favorite uncle now. 😊 He responded very quickly to any messages and sent the cutest daily pics. Thank you Patrick for being so good to our little old man, boy, Shadow! 🐾 ❤️”
“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.”
“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”
“Antonio took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. We would definitely use him again to watch our pup and recommend him.”
“Miriam was exceptional! She took care of our dog Kobe for a week when we were out of town. We got daily updates with pictures showing Kobe was having so much fun! There were lots of play time and snuggle time with her family. She has a beautiful, clean house with a spacious backyard, a perfect setup for any dog. We highly recommend her and we are looking forward to be back soon.”
“Christina was so easy to work with and our dog Lizzie loved her. She was so conscientious about Lizzie’s care and very flexible with our changing schedule! We’ll definitely contact her again.”
“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”
“Christie and Daniel were the absolute best with our girl Bella. It was amazing having someone always home with her, to play, walk her and cuddle with her on the couch. We received so many updates while we were on our trip which kept our minds at ease. We definitely will be booking with them again! We are so happy we found them♥️”
