“Tracy and her husband took great care of my pup Sesame while we were away! They gave us many updates throughout the day and made sure to follow my dog’s daily exercise and feeding schedule. Sesame looked like he was happy and enjoying his time! I would definitely recommend Tracy!”
“Marivel took really good care of Mezcal and sent us a lot of updates throughout the stay. She kept him with dogs his size and he enjoyed that a lot. Thank you Marivel for taking care of our lil guy.”
“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Margarita took very good care of Buddy and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated! It was nice to see how he was doing and know he was being well cared for. We would gladly trust her with Buddy again in the future.”
“Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.”
“Our French Bulldog Omi, has just spent 2 weeks with Michael. She had the most amazing time. His family enjoyed her too. We are booking Michael for all future dog holidays. We felt really pleased Omi was so happy and well looked after. Thank you Michael and family.”
“Jifu was great with our 10-months old golden doodle puppy. He stayed for a week. It was our first time boarding and we were very nervous - but were reassured by the great communication and daily updates. We highly recommend Jifu!”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“Jessica is the best! She watched our dog Roo and instantly became her best friend - she made her chicken, put on a cute sweater for our dog, and kept us up to date on all the fun times. Our trip ran a little long and she was super understanding and kept her for nearly 4 hours longer. We are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking again!”
“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”
“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
“Farah and Tommy did a fantastic job taking care of our Chiweenie, Miso, on short notice this weekend. We were incredibly busy, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and checking in about her quirks to ensure everything was normal. Miso clearly received plenty of quality attention and affection. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services. Thank you both!”
“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”

“Cameron was amazing and really accommodating of our holiday schedule which was unexpectedly chaotic due to storms in our area. He made sure our cat was well taken care of and went above and beyond in all regards!”
“Rachel was great with our shy cats while we were away. She was patient with them, coaxing them out of their hiding places sooner than anyone else so far. Her updates and communication were very reassuring with many photos. She also kept our home very neat and clean, so that it was a pleasure to come home.”
“Danielle is amazing! The cats — including our skittish one — loved her. She really took the time to get to know them and learn how they wanted to be played with and loved. Thanks Danielle!”
“Ka Ying is pleasant, responsive, and patient. She gave me peace of mind during her visit with my cat, and handled instruction updates with grace. Highly recommend her for your dog or cat! Thanks again Ka Ying.”
“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!”
“Caitlin was so great and helpful looking after our cats! She made sure they were well taken care of and had lots of play time. She also helped give our little cat her daily oral medication and made it easy to take our trip without worry. Definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Jess is awesome! Incredibly attentive, responsive and caring. My kitty is older and needs lots of affection- he didn’t even seem to notice I was gone with Jess coming to care for him. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you Jess for being such a wonderful cat sitter for Carl!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have years of professional pet care experience, including completing more than 400 dog walks, and I’ve cared for dogs of all different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also a yoga and Pilates instructor, so staying active is a big part of my everyday life. I’m happy to take an energetic pup on a long, active walk, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for a senior dog or a pup who prefers to stop and sniff every few feet! Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone dependable to keep them company, my goal is for them to feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I truly love animals and would be delighted to get to know yours! 🐾
About: I spent a year and a half working in the Comparative Medicine department at Stanford, so I'm comfortable with the more clinical side of pet care — administering medications, watching for subtle signs of illness, and staying calm in situations that might worry a less experienced sitter. Beyond the professional experience, I've been an animal person my whole life. I grew up with two cats and adopted my own, Ramen, in 2021 — she's happy, cuddly, and has taught me a lot about patience and reading an animal's mood. That mix of hands-on medical knowledge and genuine, lifelong love for animals means your pet gets both careful attention and real affection.
About: I had elderly cat named Bebe when I was younger that kept to herself, but I would always shower her with affection. Now I currently have 1 year old kitten who I had since around 3 months old. She is very playful and active which I love very much. I have tried harness training her and walking her around the home. I have definitely love cats in all stages and I love playing with all kinds of toys.
About: I've taken care of both large and small dogs one on one and in play group settings. As well as I currently own a cat. Curre the I work so I am available in the morning for walks and evenings. I can do care at your home when needed. Thanks. Caring for pets in your home I make sure all entry ways are closed so your dog and or cat does not escape. When I come and arrive I will communicate.

“I was a bit nervous about leaving Tati with a new person all day (she has separation anxiety) but she did great! Manli has the gift and Tati enjoyed the other dogs, walks, and fun environment! I'll definitely book her again :)”
“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.”
“Margarita was amazing with my pup. She walked her twice, played with her, and was able to calm her down quickly after I dropped her off—my pup suffers from separation anxiety. She sent me photos of my pup throughout the visit. I highly, highly recommend her.”
“We used Ana and Mark for a month, while our kitchen got remodeled. The were awesome: always trying to make the experience work for us and for our dog. They deeply care about dogs, are incredibly good natured and were clearly very kind, warm and caring with our dog.”
About: I’ve walked dogs professionally and casually for friends and neighbors, and I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, so I’m used to helping animals settle into new environments and routines. I also own large pets myself, so I’m very comfortable with bigger breeds, their energy, exercise needs, and handling. Whether it’s a high-energy dog who needs a good walk or a cat who just needs a calm, attentive presence, I know how to keep pets of all kinds happy and well cared for. I work part time, so I have flexible hours to fit pet care into my routine. I'm available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule for feeding, playtime, or check ins whenever your cat needs me. I can care for your cat in your home or mine, depending on what works best for you. My space is quiet and calm with no other pets or kids, so your cat can settle in without distractions. In your home, I follow your routines closely and keep things safe and familiar.
About: We’re an engaged couple looking for more time with pets! We’d love to give your pet extra care, companionship, and affection while you’re away or taking some time for yourself. We only care for one pet (or one family) at a time so your pet can get plenty of attention with us. As a couple, your pet gets double the care and companionship at no extra cost! We especially enjoy boarding pets in our home. We don’t have pets or children of our own. Our private fenced backyard allows for plenty of space to play. We go on 1–2 walks a day and would love to have your pet join us! We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them a home-away-from-home! 🐾🥰 One of our favorite things to do is go on walks together. We always joke and say we’re meant to have a pet, so we decided to do Rover! We have no pets or kids in our house and we plan to take care of one pet/family at a time so we can give them our full attention and make sure they are as comfortable as can be. We also have a private fenced backyard.
“We have used Renz several different times and he’s always been great! Pepper loves he and his partner and their sweeeeet dog, Whiskey. Renz is very easy to coordinate with, follows all my instructions, troubleshoots intelligently, is skilled in obedience training, and seems to really enjoy learning Pepper’s needs. He has access to a variety of dog parks and trails, including agility structures, so I know Pepper is always going to have fun and be stimulated. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey has been incredible with our little dog Coco. She has been extremely communicative and sent us lots of pictures during our time away. Coco loved her time hanging out with Stacey’s dogs and having lots of play time. Thank you so much Stacey, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Best sitter we've ever encountered for our dog with many needs for her happiness. Well she came home so happy and better yet tired from all the walks which takes a lot. He kept sending us photos of her so we knew she was having a great time. He really understood our dog for not only the needs but her wants. So lucky to have found him.”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who just relocated from San Francisco. I regularly watched a dog 3 times a week and can take up to 2 dogs at once. I've helped take care of my parents dog for 8 years since she was a puppy and I take her to the beach, for walks, to play at the dog park, and bathe her regularly. I work until 3pm so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to take pups out for walks. I love meeting new dogs and am used to high energy dogs. I am very comfortable around dogs and want your dog to be happy. I am very clean and want to be considerate of your space.
“My energetic puppy had a great time with their two little dogs. When we chatted at pick up time, I could tell a lot of care and consideration went into watching over my little pup. They followed my "puppy handbook" to a T!”
“Odin had a great time, settled right in with the pack. Edward and Elisha are very communicative and provide lots of photos, they have been great to work with. Odin will definitely be going back for more fun!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“Guilherme was spectacular with Sjofn. She is my service dog and use to always being with someone. I could tell that he spent the whole day giving her lots of petting and attention because she showed no stress and was happy to listen to him when I saw her. I will definitely have Guilherme watch her again”
“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”
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.

“Meg did such a great job taking walking our two dogs, one an eager puppy and our cranky older 6-year old. We appreciated Meg’s willingness to meet our pups prior to booking. She updated me with pictures during her visit and showed up within the desired time frame to walk our pups. We will definitely be using Meg in the future.”
About: I’m a student looking to help out with some local pet care and housesitting while i’m home for the summer. I’m vegan, I live alone, and I genuinely love animals and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule so I'm more than happy to keep your pets company, stick to their regular routines, daily walks, and make sure everything is taken care of. I'll always send plenty of photo updates too so you know they're doing great. I've taken care of dogs and cats for neighboring families and friends for many years, so I'm super comfortable handling pets with various different personalities and needs. I’m home for the summer and my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now. Since I don't work a job, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends to hang out with your pets, stick to their routines, and make sure they're taken care of as if they are my own. Safety is the main thing for me. I always double-check locks and gates, follow whatever feeding or walking instructions you leave, and keep a close eye on them. I've watched dogs and cats for family and friends for the past two years, so I know what kind of things can go wrong and how to keep everyone happy and safe.
“Natasha is great! She took the time to really understand my dog’s health issues and made sure she knew what to do in the event of a seizure. He seems happy and relaxed with her right away. All smiles in the pictures I got from his report card. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: 🔆Welcome to a small part of my life I started by taking care of my neighbors’ pets as a hobby, which helped me discover how much I enjoy this work. Later, I found the Rover app, where I saw a great opportunity to care for and meet dogs of different breeds. Currently, I have two years of experience providing love and care to pets as if they were part of my family. I deeply love animals and have always felt a special connection with them. I carry my dog, Cejas, who passed away, in my heart forever, and her memory inspires me to provide the best care to the pets that come into my home. I’m passionate about caring for pets with special needs, whether it’s administering medications or providing appropriate therapies for their physical and mental well-being.

“Marivel took really good care of Mezcal and sent us a lot of updates throughout the stay. She kept him with dogs his size and he enjoyed that a lot. Thank you Marivel for taking care of our lil guy.”
“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”

“Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.”
“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.”
“Jifu was great with our 10-months old golden doodle puppy. He stayed for a week. It was our first time boarding and we were very nervous - but were reassured by the great communication and daily updates. We highly recommend Jifu!”
“This was Shiloh's second time at Guillermo' and Siobhan's home. Guillermo has great vibes and Shiloh comes home fulfilled and tired. We couldn't ask for more!”
“We had a last minute trip come up a week before leaving but Daniel was available and happy to watch Bean on short notice. He was knowledgeable, knew exactly what to do, and sent pictures and videos of Bean during the 2 day stay. We knew Bean was in great hands - he looked comfortable and like he had a great time with Daniel.”
“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”
“Grace is beyond amazing! She is extremely communicative, consistently giving us updates and pictures of Valentina. Very loving and kind towards our dog gave her really nice attention and daily walks. Great!”
“Farah and Tommy did a fantastic job taking care of our Chiweenie, Miso, on short notice this weekend. We were incredibly busy, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. They provided excellent communication throughout her stay, sending regular updates and checking in about her quirks to ensure everything was normal. Miso clearly received plenty of quality attention and affection. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services. Thank you both!”
“We had a very busy weekend where our Chaweenie, Miso, would have had to be alone for large stretches, or travel non-stop in a car all day. So we decided to find a "surrogate family" for the weekend. Shobi, her husband, and girls took great care of her. When I picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. We will for sure book more stays with Shobi and her lovely family!”

“Lamija took really good care of our dog for an entire week, providing one-on-one care and attention. She is very sweet and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely leave our dog with Lamija again!”
“Margaret and her dogs welcomed Quincy, our labradoodle, as a temporary member of their pack. It was great for him to be with other dogs and a very dog-savvy human. Margaret’s very observant, very caring and ready to help new dogs learn good behaviors. We hope Quincy will be able to stay with her in the future.”
“My foster dog Baby had a wonderful stay with Tanya and her daughter. Their home is basically doggy heaven, and Baby enjoyed the huge lawn and tons of love and care accordingly. Baby looks forward to her next visit!”
“Peanut had his trial day with Shannon today and everything went great. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated with lots of photos, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. We could see that he was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again in the future”
