“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.”

“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!”

About: I believe every cat deserves patient, gentle, and dependable care. I understand that each cat has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, keep the area tidy, and spend time playing or quietly keeping your cat company—whatever they prefer. I carefully follow your instructions and send photo updates after every visit, so you can feel confident your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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 have two dogs at home, and I have always had pets in the house since I was born. My family and neighbors growing up relied on me to pet sit for them or walk my dogs with their dogs. I have taken care of my two dogs and cat when I had a cat since I was 13. I walked my first dog as a child too, so overall I have had about 11 years of experience taking care of pets. I am happy to bathe, walk, feed, play with, and hang out with pets of any kind, though I specialize in dogs and cats. I trained my dog Sidney with my parents, so I have experience in that as well. I love to be around animals of all kinds, and am so excited to meet your lovely pets! I am a student right now, so I am available during free periods that I have to drop by and take your pets out, but after 3:30PM everyday I have time to walk, feed, and bathe pets. I am free during the entire day on the weekends, and sometimes have days off. My summer availability will depend on my part-time job. I care for pets with a fun and lighthearted approach. I believe in the reward system because I think it's a good way for pets to feel good about themselves while still having fun. I make sure to look out for any preexisting problems with pets if that is an issue and to see them as individuals with their own personalities and needs. I have had animals with medical issues and I have adapted how I take care of them to fit their personal wants and needs in each moment. I am an empathetic person who can empathize with many different creatures, not just humans. Rest assured, I will be cautious and intentional with how I care for every pet I encounter.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

“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 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.

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.

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.

About: I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life and got my very first puppy when I was 15. More recently, I brought home a French Bulldog, and it’s been such a joy watching him grow from a tiny puppy into the sweet, fun 1-year-old he is now! Having pets has always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them I work from home so I am usually pretty available! I do have a lot of virtual calls so I cannot usually do last minute walks but can plan around my day! I am completely free after 3:30 PM everyday. I have a French bulldog who loves to play and spends a lot of his time cuddled up with us. We also have a huge patio that is fenced in and a dog area to let them roam around and play.

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.

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Anniruda & Isha watched our senior dog Zephyr. At intake Anniruda was very thorough with questions about our doggo. They went out of their way to ensure Zephyr’s comfort during her stay. She was all tuckered out by the time we picked her up. Thank you for providing such diligent care to our dog!”

“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!”

“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.”
