“Julia is communicative, flexible and understanding. We received fantastic regular updates about our dog’s stay. When our flight back home got delayed, Julia put our mind at ease and was super accommodating. Our pooch has special needs (she doesn’t like rain and doesn’t do well with other animals) and Julia did a great job adhering to our instructions. We’d happily sign our pup up for another stay with Julia in the future.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
“Michael was fantastic! This was our first Rover experience - we usually have a dog sitter - abs everything was great. Our dog had a great time. Michael kindly sent multiple photos every day. We will definitely come back🐶”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”
“Tracy and her husband were great with my dog, Ocean! He stayed with them for a week, and they sent photos every day with updates on how he was doing and he had a great time :)”
“Dawn took excellent care of my terrier, Coconut! She sent daily detailed updates with photos while I was traveling overseas. My dog got along well hers and with the other pups she was watches, she got plenty of love and trips to the dog park. Highly recommend Dawn!”
“Joyce was awesome. Our 14.5 year old labradoodle, Chloe, stayed with her for about 9 days. Chloe was well looked after, and all her needs, including daily medications, were met perfectly and lovingly by Joyce. She took every bit of instruction on Chloe's care (which wasn't that much) diligently, and kept us updated daily with photos and other tidbits of information on Chloe. I'll definitely be using Joyce again!”
“This was our second experience leaving Caesar in Anyi's care, and we were impressed by their excellent communication and consistent updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be back!”
“Mario is incredible. He was wonderful with my puppy and Loki is always excited to see Mario again which is a great sign. Mario is flexible and truly loves animals. I look forward o Mario watching Loki often as I travel a lot. ”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“We left our Dog(Riley) with Karla twice now and she took great care of her!! She is awesome with her communication and was very responsive when we had any questions or needed any updates. Since Riley has some allergies, she took extra care and gollowed all our instructions for fo followed all given instructions with great detail. When your lil pup is with Karla you can be sure”
“Sofia is the best rover sitter we have had so far. She trained our doggies how to shake! We received daily updates and cute videos from her, as well as fresh chicken eggs from her! Will definitely recommend her and send my dogs in future.”
“Taylor is awesome! There’s nobody we trust more to take care of our little angel dog than her. She’s extremely communicative, sends constant updates and photos, and Marley is always having a great time when she stays with Taylor (very evident from the way she greets her even after not seeing her for months). Your fur baby is in good hands, I can’t recommend more.”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Soyoung was great! It was our first time booking with her and we would 100% book again with her. Our pup Soju had a great time, and Soyoung was responsive with any questions/flexible when we ran late. She also sent us updates on how Soju was adjusting and we love a Rover sitter who sends pics!!!!”
“I just moved to the South Bay and loved my first experience with Shavonne! She was happy to share updates of my sweet girl and I look forward to using her again. Thank you again, Shavonne!”
“Courtney was amazing!! She gave Jax so much personal attention and love, sent me lots of photos of him, played a lot with him, and even tried to help him learn new things. I am so thankful we found Courtney and definitely want to use her anytime we leave town!”

“Genevive was so wonderful with my two cats - she sent pictures of them playing together and they seemed loved and cared for when we returned. One of my cats even found her a mouse as a gift and she was totally willing to clean up the mess. Thank you so much Genevive!!!”
“Kelsey was great: available to orient to cats/house quickly, consistent and thorough with timing of visits daily as well as updates and photos. Very responsive to texts. Quick study, reliable and really shines in that it is very evident that she loves cats! Definitely will be asking her back and highly recommend!”
“Caroline was so wonderful!! She was prompt, responsible, and sent so many photos each day. She was great with my kitty who adored her and even sacrificed some of her own hair ties for her to play with!”
“Kristine was so wonderful when we had family in town. She was very flexible on timing and showed up exactly when she said she would. Kristine was so kind and helpful to our pups who had to get fed at dinner time. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to book her again!”
“Our cat Sesame loved Thien-Nha! We were also able to enjoy our time away knowing she was in her capable and caring hands. Very reliable and excellent communication - will definitely book her again!”
“Julia took such great care of our two kitties! She has a great personality, so warm and positive, and even her notes and pics she puts on the app each day capture this. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
“Megan is amazing! She took great care of our two cats, one of which needed special feeding and the other - ointment applications. Both cats are happy and healthy after Megan took care of them! Megan is so wonderful!!! We’d love to become her repeat clients in fiture.”
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
“We boarded our cat, Simba, with Sevinj for 2 days as a trial for our upcoming 10-day trip. We were relieved to find that Simba was comfortable in her care. Despite being shy and timid, she managed to coax him out of his carrier. Sevinj’s home is peaceful and free from other pets or children, which helped keep Simba relaxed. She provided updates and ensured the litter area was clean. We’re excited to rebook her in the future and have the freedom to travel without worrying about our cat’s well-being. Thanks, Sevinj!”
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
“Octavia took care of our cat, Roni, while we traveled with our dogs. We came back to a happy cat! I’m grateful we have found Octavia. She does a great job and is very communicative about how everything is going when we are out of town.”
About: I have been a cat owner and have been caring for friends and family's pets for years. I love them all. I wish I could adopt every single pet that needs a loving home. I would be delighted to care for your fur babies to the best of my abilities. I love playing with them, hugging them and showing them love.
About: I will walk to crap out of your dog. Take that figuratively or literally as you please. Regardless, after our walks they'll come home totally tuckered out. I love dogs and have years of experience caring for dogs and house sitting. I grew up with large Chesapeake bay retrievers and am comfortable walking large dogs. I have a 1.5 year old basset hound. Aesthetically speaking, I am a sucker for a long, low canine. But I love all breeds and can't wait to meet your dog for a walk or a run outside! Can provide references. I'm currently looking for work, so have wide availability to care for your dog/cat. I am used to walking my own dog 2-3 times per day, plus training sessions and K9 nose work practice. If you are working on obedience with your dog, I'm happy to continue to provide training sessions as well while sitting them. At my home, I have a fenced yard with a 1.5 year old basset hound to keep your pups company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and much prefer to arrange a meet and greet before sitting whenever possible to make sure your pup feels safe and confident in my care.
“John was so kind and attentive with Max everyday during his stay. He was absolutely flexible adapting his apartment for Max big size and all his belongings (litter, scratchers, food containers, carrier, blankets, toys), so Max would have a less stressful stay. John was effectively communicating with us, and always willing to do his best to ensure Max will have a great time and we will know as much as possible about Max’s last updates. We are really thankful with John for taking care of Max, following his food and water routine over the heat wave, for cleaning his eyes and for sending us all the pictures and updates every day, so we will enjoy our short trip knowing Max was safe and happy. Thank you so much John, we’ll see you next time! Blessings from the 3 of us!”
About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.
“Evan was great! He took great care of our 3 fur babies. I felt totally at ease and knew that I could trust him to be there for my dogs when they needed to be cared for. He has been easy to communicate with and reliable!”

“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”
“Ahiram took very good care of my dog & sent updates & photos. I was nervous at first because this is my first time leaving him with someone else but the updates kept me at peace. He was in very good spirits when I picked him up. Left my dog in great paws. 🐾”
“I very much appreciate Ruo’s attentiveness in creating such a comforting environment for my senior pup. Trinity is special needs (being both visually and hearing impaired). She is so calm when I pick her up - all signs of how at ease she is and evidence to the care Ruo provides to ensuring a stressful visit! ♥️”
“Thank you so much, Ru, for taking such great care of Mochi! She had an amazing time and it’s clear she received so much love and attention while staying with you. I truly appreciate it—you made me feel completely at ease leaving Mochi in your care. I would absolutely trust you with her again in the future!”
“Wow-Just wow! I am so appreciative of Florence & Wen! From the start to the end of the visit they were both so friendly, so loving with our dog and kept us in the loop with how he was doing the entire time. They played and walked him and when I picked him up you could tell he was SO happy with them which made us feel so comfortable leaving him with them! They were so personable and took amazing care of our pup and it was very clear he had a great time with them. Will definitely be booking them again and trust them with our pup who is our life!”
“We love Diane! She took great care of Tippy, and as always I felt assured Tippy was in good hands with her. Really appreciated her flexibility in accommodating our change of plans that caused us to come home early.”
“Our puppy had such a great time with Ying! She was super attentive to all our puppy’s needs and sent lots of pictures. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. Her dog has also been a great playmate for our puppy, so they get lots of energy out too.”
“Torivia was absolutely wonderful! Sophie loved spending time with her. She was so communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which we really appreciated and made us feel so at ease. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m so happy that Dawn has the patience for my senior dog. Stan has now visited Dawn three times and he is getting more comfortable every time. Dawn has gone above and beyond to ensure Stan’s is welcome in her home.”
About: I grow up with three dogs, two German Shepards and one Bernese. I took care of them from babies to their last days. There is missing piece in my life without them. After raising diverse-character dogs, I learned to handle any circumstance, and love them with empathy. Working from home, in a flexible schedule. Then, I’m really looking forward to dog walks, taking sun, and give a rest to my computer. Also, dogs can be a good company while working. I have a fenced yard, available water, and an always clean backyard. While waking, I’m aware of my surroundings; I give space for pets when then need it; and identify potential dangers before they are a problem. Also, I’m flexible with special requests.
“I dropped off my puppy with Soyoung in May for doggy daycare. I can tell Soyoung is wonderful with dogs. Nico, my puppy, went to her with no hesitation. Soyoung kept me updated on his day and sent me photos. I felt very relieved that Nico was enjoying his time with her. He seemed very happy when I picked him up. I had left a few of Nico's items at Soyoung's home, so she offered to deliver them to my home. Nico was super excited to see her when she arrived. After she left, he whimpered at my front door. :) I will definitely book Soyoung again to care for Nico.”
“We are so grateful to have found Kenny. We tried leaving our dog at a hotel/boarding facility. We paid extra for a nice room. But he was mostly in that room alone, standing and clawing at the glass, begging for attention. And when we would drop him off, he would try to get away. When we picked him up, he was panicked and breathing hard. He couldn’t mingle with the dogs due to being intact. It was isolating and he has separation anxiety. I’m sharing this for contrast. When I drop him off at Kenny’s he runs to him, jumps and licks him, and walks away without ever looking back at me, lol. We get photo and video updates showing how much fun he has: playing in the yard with another dog, pooping! Going for a walk, eating, napping, etc. Kenny watches over them and keeps them safe, ex: big vs small, neutered/spayed vs not. My dog loves going there now, and I can focus on work without worry. So thankful to have found this priceless attention and care.”
“We were looking for a sitter very last minute and Jingjing was kind enough to work with her husband to watch our dog, Milo, the entire day. Jingjing was very communicative and sent many videos/photos. I just moved to the Bay Area and it gives me tremendous relief that Milo has a sitter we can count on! Highly recommend!! Thank you Jingjing!”
“Haoyuan was incredibly caring and sweet to our dog, Daisy. She gave us lots of updates with photos and videos throughout the day. She even treated her to some fresh watermelon as a treat. Our dog also loved playing with Haoyuan’s dog, Mao-Mao.”

About: I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for both dogs and cats over the years, giving me hands on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. With dogs, I have experience raising one since he was a puppy, so I’m familiar with the patience, consistency, and attention they need as they grow. I have experience with daily walks, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping dogs safe during walks by being mindful of things like hot pavement with this summer weather. Additionally, I taught my dog fun tricks including “sit” and “paw,” which Im willing to teach if wanted. I have even more experience with cats, having cared for my own cat for over three years as well as multiple kittens and stray cats. Through this experience, I’ve learned to recognize their different personalities, respect their boundaries, and provide the care and affection they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets. My goal is for both you and your furry family member to feel comfortable, confident, and worry free while you’re apart. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which means I’m available for bookings throughout the whole week! Feel free to reach out anytime as I’d love to help care for your furry family members whenever you need a reliable sitter or walker. Please feel free to let me know before I care for your pet if you have any special requests, routines, or precautions you’d like me to follow. My goal is to make sure your pet feels as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible while you’re away. For example, if they don’t like being petted in certain areas, have specific feeding or medication schedules, need extra patience around new people or other animals, have favorite toys or walking routes, or have any other unique preferences, I’d be more than happy to accommodate them. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to providing the personalized care they deserve.
“I highly recommend Kelsey. She is professional, always on time, responsive, and so sweet with my dog. My dog is so happy to see her the second she comes in the door. She always provides updates and a picture, and goes the extra mile to make sure that there is water in his bowl. Would highly recommend!!”
“Mike was perfect. I contacted him last-minute and we didn’t even get to do a meet and greet. He figured everything out with our house and our dog loved him right away. Mike communicated clearly and frequently and gave our dog the attention and activity he needed!”
About: My Pet Care Experience Growing up, I had the joy of sharing my life with a variety of pets, each teaching me something unique about responsibility, empathy, and companionship. Over the years, I’ve cared for hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and turtles, and every one of them left a lasting impact on me. As a child, my hamsters taught me patience and attentiveness through their delicate care needs. Feeding them the right diet and cleaning their habitat were my first lessons in responsibility. With dogs and cats, I learned the importance of building trust and providing unconditional love. They showed me how meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Bunnies and turtles required different forms of care, from maintaining specific diets to creating environments that matched their natural habitats. These experiences taught me how to adapt and tailor my care to meet the needs of each pet. Even caring for fish required a level of diligence, as maintaining a clean tank and balanced water conditions was essential for their well-being. Now, as an adult, I deeply appreciate how much these experiences shaped my understanding of what it means to care for animals. Pets aren’t just companions; they’re beings that rely on us for their health, happiness, and safety. This realization drives my dedication to providing the best care possible for my current and future pets. Whether it’s ensuring they receive proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, or just spending quality time with them, I believe that having pets is both a privilege and a commitment. Caring for animals has not only made me more responsible but has also brought immense joy and fulfillment into my life. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine, and I always make time to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Currently, as a student on vacation, I have plenty of free time during the holidays to dedicate to their care, including playing with them, grooming, and keeping their spaces clean. During the semester, I usually have classes in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide attention, exercise, and care for the pets. I enjoy creating a balance between my responsibilities and spending quality time with them, as I believe this is key to building a strong bond and keeping them content. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I always prioritize building trust with the pet, creating a bond that ensures they feel safe and comfortable with me. The place where I live is fenced and quiet, making it a safe environment for pets. However, I understand that pets often feel more comfortable staying in their own home, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. For this reason, I am more than happy to care for them at their place if that’s preferred. Regardless of the location, I make sure to follow their specific routines, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and ensure their needs are met with love and care.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments, including large breeds like German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping pet areas clean. I am available in the mornings and evenings, sometimes could do afternoon playtime. I follow each pet’s individual routine and preferences and adjust timing as needed. I provide calm, reliable care in a safe, familiar environment for your pet, carefully following routines and instructions while keeping owners informed with regular updates.
“Cordigen has been wonderful at providing weekly visits for our puppy, Sammy, and our 8 year old dog, June. I can tell from the photos she sends that they have a great time with her on their 3x/week visits and really appreciate all the care she shows for them. Highly recommend!”
About: I love all pets. I would be caring and loving to your pet while they're with me. Whether a puppy, kitten, a specials need animal or an elderly. I will be sure to provide them a healthy and safe environment, help with their medicine, take them for walks as needed, feed and play with them often. I am a good communicator. Unless you request otherwise, I will send daily updates along with pictures of your fury baby. I dedicate 1-2 days per week for 1/2 day to volunteering. I have two grown children and a cat at home. I have plenty of time to spare and dedicate to your pet. Safety first! I live in a house with a fence. I will be sure to watch and care for your dog if we're walking outside. I will not let them loose in the backyard without supervision.
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me joy. In addition to raising my own pets, I’ve also helped many friends care for their dogs while they were away, so looking after other people’s pets isn’t new to me. I currently have two rescue dogs and one cat, and they’re truly part of my family. Because of them, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My dogs are medium to large breeds (about 50 lbs and 100 lbs), so I’m very comfortable handling bigger, energetic dogs during walks and playtime. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including Bichons, Labrador Retrievers, Samoyeds, Huskies, and other breeds. One thing that sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing together, I treat every dog and cat like they’re part of my own little family. Seeing them happy is one of the best parts of my day. I also love taking photos and videos of all their adorable moments and sharing regular updates, so you’ll always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and having a great time. In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter because spending time with animals is something I’m truly passionate about. Since I’m currently home full-time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and at home while you’re away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for just like one of my own. I'm currently not employed so my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since i'm home throughout the day, your dog will have lots of companionship, playtime, potty breaks and exericse. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day since I’m home most of the time. I live in an apartment with a private patio where we can enjoy some outdoor time and play games like fetch. We also have a convenient dog potty area just a short walk away, making bathroom breaks easy and frequent. For dogs that enjoy exercise and socializing, I’m also close to a community dog park and can take them there with your permission. If your dog prefers quieter walks or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, I’m equally happy to provide individual walks and one-on-one playtime instead. My two friendly rescue dogs love meeting new friends and make wonderful playmates for social dogs. However, I always prioritize every dog’s comfort and personality, and I’ll introduce dogs carefully and only if everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely to help your pet feel relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy seeing how your furry family member is doing while you’re away.
About: I'm a Bay Area native, graduated from UC Berkeley and have finished winding down my first blockchain startup. I've been a digital nomad since 2021 and a friend suggested that I housesit as I do love animals and have a really flexible schedule. I have informally petsit over the years and only recently realized I can start a small business with it! :) My boyfriend Ray can also housesit with me if that’s what the owner’s preference is. He works out of a lab in Sunnyvale and can handle dogs over 75lbs as well as help me give medication. I love following pets with my camera, so expect plenty of photo and video updates for house sits and walks! I work 100% remote and is very flexible on walks, playtime, field trips to parks and giving medication. Some evenings I'll have tennis practice but I usually coordinate with Ray to make sure someone is always there with your pet. I generally ask for a video and/or in-person visit before committing to the assignment. I want to make sure the animal is comfortable around me and that I go over their daily routine with you in person. I water plants, take out trash, take in packages and will look over your pet and home as if they're my own. They become my responsibility and I'm happy to provide as many updates as the owner prefers.
About: A couple of years ago, I worked for Primal Canine Dog Training as a Kennel Tech and was training to become a dog trainer. As a Kennel Tech., I cared for about 20 dogs a day, all different breeds and sizes. I cleaned their kennel area, feed them, gave them water, took all of them on walks, did agility training through an obstacle course on-site, worked on their basic obedience, showered them, cleaned up any messes they made, and of course, gave them lots of treats, pets, and overall, love. Since I left Primal Canine, I have continued my dog care and training through working with owners like yourself in taking care of their dogs. I have been walking many dogs as well as dog/house sitting. The difference from working at Primal Canine and working as an independent dog caretaker is that I now have the opportunity to develop a stronger and closer bond with each dog I care for since I spend more time with them. I also used to live with two Pomeranian dogs and worked with dogs on film sets, filming them as they "acted" on command. To me, all dogs, no matter how big, are like little children. They need to be loved, respected, played with, strengthened, and guided to do the right actions. I see each dog has its own unique & individual self. In this, I treat each dog different from others and with the same love and respect I'd give for all dogs.
About: Hi, I'm Lizzy! I am a graduate student at Palo Alto University, I have had my labrador since he was the length of my forearm! We've had many adventures together. I hope to have many adventures with your puppies (even the big dogs are puppies to me). As a dedicated dog lover, I aim to befriend your pet's personality and absolutely spoil them! I am very responsive and love providing updates of your pet's adventures! I have time every day of the week to check in and be with your pet. While I won't be having pets in my home, watching them thrive in their familiar home sounds like a great time! I am SO ready to play with them, take them out in the nice weather, and give them all the attention they deserve (which is every ounce!)
“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have. She's been able to help our dog already not react as strongly to other dogs passing by. She's definitely becoming out go to person to take care of our dog in San Jose.”
“Danielle was great with my dog Minnie. I loved the report card after their walk. She was also patient with me when I couldn’t find Minnie’s collar! Great first time Rover experience!”
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life—from playful 3-month-old puppies to wise seniors. One of my beloved dogs recently passed at 17 years old, and I’m currently sharing my home (and couch!) with my sweet 14-year-old. I have a large, secure yard perfect for running and playing, and I love going on hikes with dogs who enjoy the outdoors. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers cozy cuddle time on the sofa, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. Your furry family member will be treated like one of my own! I'm self-employed with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for full-day care. Able to provide 2-4 hours outdoor break time for furry babies, especially if your dog like hiking on the hills! I live in a safe, quiet, and dog-friendly neighborhood with a large front yard. When I take dogs out, I always keep them on a leash and make sure they don’t pick up or eat anything off the ground.
About: I cared for my dog for 14 wonderful years back in Seoul, and he taught me how meaningful patient, loving pet care can be. After moving to the U.S., I began caring for dogs again because I missed that connection so much. Friends and family have trusted me over the years with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve since adopted a rescue dog in New York who I love dearly—and who really enjoys the company of other dogs and cats. I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. My husband is a graduate student at Stanford. We both have a regular daily routine, and we love walking and hiking with our dog. I like to keep my clients updated with multiple daily pictures/videos. If anything comes up, I will alert immediately and in emergency situations I will take the pets to the designated vet if we discuss to do so prior to boarding/sitting.
About: Grew up with dogs of various breeds (many were rescue mixes). I am an attentive and responsible caregiver. I have experience with training puppies, grooming/ bathing, administering medicine, and caring for injured dogs on crate rest. Also have experience with anxious dogs. I study biology at the University of Michigan, hoping to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Currently work part-time as a horse trainer and caretaker. I am currently only working a part-time job so I am available to care for your pet any day of the week. The afternoon (1-6pm), works best for me! I am willing to do whatever your pet needs while you are away, whether that be play-time with toys, a walk down the street, a bath, or cuddles! I am a huge animal-lover so know that I am probably having just as much fun as your pup! I am also willing to administer medicine/supplements and care for injured dogs.
About: I am taking a break from work and have the time to house sit and check in as well as board. I have done Rover for a few years now and have worked at dog boarding facilities. I am able to walk your fur babies in the morning and in the evening. I have experience with medication and injections for whom are needed. I have starting training experience and hope to learn more while watching my fur child Ruffles grow and enjoy life. It is true that Each pet has his/her own characteristics, so I try to find way to connect and gain there trust in anyway I can. I understand all pets have different characteristics and I will do everything possible to get to know your pet. I understood pets are a huge part of our familyand that is how they will be treated with love, understanding and compassion. Pets are truly men's best friend, and one that is always there to make our life so much exciting and fun. I can say at the moment I am able to fit any pet into mine and my own pet’s routine! Ruffles gets along with children , any size 🐶 dog and adults! I am trying to board only one pet at a time with my own pet at home just to be in the safer side. However, once your pet is at my home, he or she becomes part of the family instantly. They are allowed on top of furniture. My Ruffles is a non-caged dog but I do own a cage.

“Julia is communicative, flexible and understanding. We received fantastic regular updates about our dog’s stay. When our flight back home got delayed, Julia put our mind at ease and was super accommodating. Our pooch has special needs (she doesn’t like rain and doesn’t do well with other animals) and Julia did a great job adhering to our instructions. We’d happily sign our pup up for another stay with Julia in the future.”
“Kelly took great care of Lucky. He seemed very happy after his time with her and even as we were getting back in the car he went to the end of his leash to get one more look before she left. Highly recommend Kelly!”
“Michael is very professional, knows what he does, and Muffin liked him from the first moment they've met. I was receiving regular updates throughout Muffin's stay and was given a comprehensive summary of Muffin's behavior and health at the check-out. Can only recommend.”
“This was our second experience leaving Caesar in Anyi's care, and we were impressed by their excellent communication and consistent updates throughout the stay. We will definitely be back!”
“This was Yogi’s first time away from home, and Cynthia made sure he was well cared for. She sent us lots of updates (which we requested) and Yogi looked so happy the whole time. We weren’t sure how he’d do since we only adopted him a few months ago, but he seemed to have such a great time! Would book again!”
“Sofia is the best rover sitter we have had so far. She trained our doggies how to shake! We received daily updates and cute videos from her, as well as fresh chicken eggs from her! Will definitely recommend her and send my dogs in future.”
“Taylor is awesome! There’s nobody we trust more to take care of our little angel dog than her. She’s extremely communicative, sends constant updates and photos, and Marley is always having a great time when she stays with Taylor (very evident from the way she greets her even after not seeing her for months). Your fur baby is in good hands, I can’t recommend more.”
About: Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
“Courtney was amazing!! She gave Jax so much personal attention and love, sent me lots of photos of him, played a lot with him, and even tried to help him learn new things. I am so thankful we found Courtney and definitely want to use her anytime we leave town!”
“They are so sweet and accommodating. The house has a spacious backyard and my dog was kept in the ADU with her brother as well as hung out in the main house. Our flight was delayed several times last minute and they were willing to watch her til we got back late at night. I highly recommend and plan to rebook in the future!”
“Aiyo had a great time! Lots of activity here so she was pretty tired when she got home. I felt like Monica really loves her dogs and treated Aiyo like one of her own. Happy to have her stay again in a few weeks!”
“Ruo was great with communication and very reliable! Caramel was very happy when we picked her up and seemed very well taken care of. We definitely recommend Ruo for your furry friend!”
“My large dog Yeti can be prone to anxiety, but looked very comfortable and relaxed in Diane's care. She took him out several times on walks and also let Yeti explore her beautiful backyard. Diane also sent detailed updates with photos and was very kind when I messaged that I was running a little late. Thanks again for watching Yeti!”
“It’s like summer camp for your dog!! Anastasia and Scott were so great, so easy to communicate with and gave our challenging little guy a safe fun home. They are pros at this.”
“Our dog Shasta had a great time with Ava while we were out of town. She took her on lots of walks and provided pictures of her stay. She has a great yard and lots of room for our dog to have fun.”
“Al did a fantastic job taking care of my Mickey! This was my first time using this service and I am glad my first experience was such a great one. While this guy may cost a little more than what I am used to paying for boarding he was worth every penny! Mickey seemed to click with Al immediately and I felt really at ease with him and the idea of leaving Mickey in his care. The man genuinely loves being around animals and has plenty of experience, he even sent me pictures and regular updates on Mickey, who was obviously having a lot of fun playing with the other dogs. I will happily recommend Al to anyone in the area and he will definitely be my first choice the next time I have to go out of town.”
“An amazing Rover experience with Philip for our little energetic pup! Philip was proactive in scheduling a meet and greet, and understanding of Kaya’s quirky behaviors. During boarding, we received multiple updates each day and knew that Kaya was in great care. Glad to have found him and definitely recommend!”
