About: Dogs have been a big part of our lives. We adopted Bruno, our beloved Labrador Retriever, with whom we spent 11 years until he fought bravely with cancer but could not win. Bruno socialized me to his friends like Mastiffs, German Shepherds, Corgis, Golden Retrievers and many more and helped me understand that each dog, irrespective of his breed, has a unique personality and temperament. Thus, please do tell us about your dogs unique traits and his phobias so that we can make him feel at home. This is important for us to know as dogs undergo huge stress to be away from their home. After Bruno passed away, we adopted Rex, Labrador Retriever, who has helped us heal and made us realize how important dogs are in our lives! Both, me and my wife WFH and have flexible working schedule. So one of us will be at home to take care of the pack. We have Rex, a Labrador Retreiver, who goes on walks 2x times a day for 2-3 miles everyday. If the dog is staying with us, based on his needs, he can join us on our walks. Plus, we have a fully fenced backyard for dogs to play and run freely. Often, we take break from our work and play with our dog in the backyard or go for a small 5-10 min walk outside our home. For everyone’s safety, the dog should get along with kids and other dogs. Please let us know if there are any health issues and/or food allergies. My wife and I have experience caring for senior dogs, and both of us are comfortable administering medications as needed.
“Ivan did a great job dog sitting our two little dogs! He always kept us updated. Drop off and pick up was easily coordinated. Our dogs seemed to have a blast! He sent lots of photos of our dogs having fun, outside, and taking their naps. Will definitely be using his services again!”
“I was super nervous to try Rover but after reading Karla’s reviews and seeing happy repeat clients, I thought I’d give it a go! She was fantastic and was available to board not one out both of our puppies, Bean & Ford, during my weekend away with my kids. She sent me updates and photos and was super accommodating when we had to delay pick up. She went above and beyond and we could tell the boys had a good time playing at her house:) I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Martina was great! She followed up to everything very quickly and sent pics and updates of our dog often. You can tell that she loves dogs. She even got teary eyed when giving us our dog back! We will definitely use her for future dog sitting needs!”
“Mario is an incredibly considerate and kind sitter! We have boarded with Mario many many times now and will continue to do so. He does a great job communicating and sending photos everyday! Highly recommend”
“Alexa took wonderful care of Mugsy! Before our stay she made time for a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit. She was very communicative throughout the process and Mugsy’s stay with her. We got lots of pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind. Mugsy came home a happy dog!”
“We couldn't have been more pleased with the care Jifu provided for our dog. He was responsive, professional, and, most importantly, handled our very energetic pup with care. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Jifu and his dog, Joki!”
“Zoe is amazing!!! Our 10-year old little dachshund/mutt mix is a bit anxious and used to us being around all the time. Zoe specializes in boarding this kind of dog in her home, as she is a very sweet, mellow person and provides a calm environment for the animals she boards. She walked him every day and let him out on her patio for sunshine and fresh air. Inside, he was welcome to snuggle next to her on the couch. She was available for a meet-and-greet right away and was able to accommodate our last-minute request. Our little guy spent a whole week there and was VERY happy. We could tell from the daily videos he was loved, happy and well-cared for. Definitely go with Zoe, especially if you have an older and/or anxious pet.”
“We had a fantastic boarding experience with Yi and Jeff. They provided frequent updates and photos, and thoughtfully addressed my dog's anxiety about being in a new boarding situation. My dog was very happy when I picked her up.”
“Michael was great! I left my dog Echo with him for 3 days and he took care of Echo who seemed to really enjoy Michael’s house and yard. Michael sent daily updates and photos, and my dog was in super happy spirits when I picked him up, so I know he enjoyed his time at Michael’s! Highly recommend and I will use Michael again next time.”
“James did an excellent job with a long-weekend care of my dog. My rescue senior canine has serious human trust and personal space issues. I discussed these in advance with James, and he was willing to accommodate my pup’s needs. The stay went very well, and James communicated with me (pictures) every day. It was clear James cared very much about my pup and made the stay as pleasant and calm as possible for him. I recommend James for pet care and I will use him again when I travel and need a safe place for my canine.”
“This was such a great experience! My pup was happy and relaxed during her stay. She enjoyed her time with Guillermo, Siobhan and Maisy . And I was so grateful they were willing and able to keep her on short notice. Thank you!!!”
About: As a fellow dog parent, I know just how important it is to find someone who'll love your pup like their own. I've learned so much from having my Cavapoo over the past 5 years - including navigating separation anxiety and training challenges with help from the awesome folks at Cali K9 and Zoom Room. All these experiences have made me a patient, understanding caregiver who knows every dog is uniquely special. Your furry friend will have a blast joining us for adventures in our local parks and trails, where we keep tails wagging with plenty of fun and positive reinforcement. I've had the joy of caring for many pups with different personalities, and I always make sure each one feels safe, happy, and right at home with us. Let's give your dog the loving attention they deserve! I'm thrilled to share what a typical day would look like for your pup! I've marked my calendar to show the days I'm home and fully available to focus on caring for your dog. Since I work from home on these days, I'm here to give your furry friend lots of attention and care. We follow a fun routine that includes at least three energetic walks daily, plus plenty of playtime with our collection of toys to keep everyone happy and engaged! I do pop out briefly for my gym sessions, but I'll always keep you in the loop about my schedule. Your dog will never feel lonely - they'll be right by my side throughout the day, getting all the love and attention they deserve! I maintain a clean, pet-proofed apartment where your furry friend can relax without any worries. For bedtime, I have a dedicated crate in the study where my dog sleeps, and I have an extra crate available if your pup is crate-trained - though they're also welcome to find their comfy spot anywhere in the apartment! Safety is my top priority, so I take extra precautions like always keeping doors securely locked and making sure the apartment is tidy and free of anything that could be harmful. When we head out for walks in our quiet, safe neighborhood, your pup will always be properly leashed, and I even use special light-up collars for our evening strolls. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a secure, peaceful environment with someone who takes their safety seriously
“Winnie was amazing taking care of our mini Bernedoodle for about a week in her home. Our dog can be a picky eater, especially when away from home, but Winnie made sure she ate and was great at communicating with us. We've already booked future stays. Thanks, Winnie!”
“Stacy has taken care of our dog three times now and is a great communicator, a warm caregiver and very reliable. We feel very comfortable leaving our beloved furry friend with her.”
“Honor had another fabulous stay with Jesse & Kimmy. She was so excited to be reunited with them and we're convinced that one of these times she just isn't going to want to come back home.”
“Nala was so happy to see Meghana when we dropped her off. Nala seems to have so much fun and Meghana sends great updates. We’re grateful to Meghana for being so flexible and communicative about delays in pick up due to unforeseen circumstances.”
“Lia was great watching our dog while we were out of town for the holidays. Pictures and videos every day. He had a ton of fun running around her back yard and came home tired and happy!”
“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!”

“We had a positive experience with Kayleigh when she checked in on our orange menace Winnie for a few days. 🐱 She did exactly what was asked of her, and asked clarifying questions to make sure everything was correct. We returned to him content and healthy. Appreciate her effort and would love to book again. Thank you! 🐾”
“Michele was so wonderful with my cat Sona while I was out of town! She spent so much time with her, checked in frequently with lots of photos and videos, and I came home to a very content and happy cat. Would highly recommend!”
“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”
“Julia was great! She went above and beyond for our cats. She went above the call of duty and really made sure our cats were well cared for. We very much appreciated all that she did for us and our little ones. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: Before my current employment I worked at a pet boarding facility that included cats for over 4 years. Additionally, I have 3 of my own cats that I raised since they were kittens. I have tons of experience handling cats with all different kinds of temperaments and personalities. I also have experience administering medications. Currently I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am even more open on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. I know leaving your cats can be stressful for you and for them which is why I want to make the experience as stress free and calm as possible. I adore cats and I would love to nurture a bond with yours. (:
“Chelsea sent great pictures of my cat! It felt great to see a variety of pics so I had an idea of how she was interacting with the cat. They looked very cozy together, which was heartwarming.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job taking care of Ralph! She communicated well, gave thorough updates, and was trustworthy. I will definitely ask her to take care of Ralph again in the future!”
“Debbie is fantastic! I will definitely book with her again. She not only looked after our 2 kitties, she also watered our plants, took out our garbage, swept up cat litter. Debbie is wonderful and we appreciate her so much for going above and beyond while we were away. Absolutely recommend Debbie 100%!”
“Amber was fantastic. I came home to a happy and healthy pup. She was a good communicator, left detailed recaps of her visits, and took great photos! I will definitely call on Amber again the next time I have to go out of town.”
About: I had a dog for 5 years miss her everyday. Being on Rover has helped me get over her. I’ve met very amazing people and dogs. I hope to get to know you and your dog next! Anytime after 6 in the weekdays and weekends Im open but feel free to hit me up you may never know I might be free I like to keep them company, make sure they’ll feel loved and cared for. Send funny and happy photos to you. Sing them to sleep.
“Michelle was fantastic! Very communicative and always responds in a timely manner. She went above and beyond to help while I was gone. My pup was so loved and she sent tons of photos so I could see how happy she was! Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Michelle!!”

“Chelsea is wonderful! She hosted my pup Ollie for daycare and sent cute photos of him having a blast along the way. She’s also very responsive, kind, and accommodating. Would highly recommend!”
“Pouneh is wonderful! From the beginning, she responded to my messages right away. We did an initial meet and greet at the local park. Nana immediately took to her and her daughters! I knew Nana would be happy and in good hands. Drop off and pick ups: I need to do an early drop off and it’s been super smooth. It’s easy to park in front and get Nana out safely and since we arranged that I send my ETA, Pouneh was already waiting outside ready to take her. Picking her up was also super easy. I texted ETA and she had everything ready with Nana. Again, parking was easy and available in front. Pouneh is very experienced and patient with dogs. She also has extra supplies like bowls, blankets, towels, leashes, etc., making it easier with less things to lug around. Nana looked so relaxed and happy when I picked her up that first day and each day since. I am happy to recommend Pouneh to anyone for doggie care and I will for sure rebook whenever I need an extra hand. Lastly, props to Rover as well. This is a great service and I don’t know what I’d do without it. I’ve always found great people here with sometimes short notice.”
“My puppy loves visiting Dalia! When we pull up, she jumps out of the car and runs to the door with excitement. Dalia always makes sure my puppy gets a good walk and a nap in, and she comes home in a great mood.”
“Winnie loved her stay with Karla! Karla is super attentive and so flexible; she was to accommodate my very last minute booking. She kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Winnie looks forward to hanging out with her again soon ☺️🐾”
“Ruo took great care of my doggy Tsuki. Very attentive to her needs and was able to adjust to our scheduling. Tsuki enjoyed plenty of fun outside time and love from her family. Highly recommend!”
“Ming-Ching and Koko were fantastic with my shy dog. She sent many photos and videos of him throughout the day so I could have peace of mind that my dog was in good hands! He came home and slept well after a big day :)”
“Stacey was great to work with! She was a great communicator, made pick up and drop off very easy and checked in with me throughout Bogey’s stay. My pupper seemed super comfortable and at easy with her and her dogs as well. Will definitely be working with her again :)”
“Susanne was great with our dogs. This was our first time with doggie day care. Susanne made us all feel reassured and comfortable. She is incredibly attentive and conscientious. We got many messages from her throughout the day. The pups seemed happy and content when we came to get them.”
“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!”
“Doug took a good care of my my dog "Mochi". He was very good at communicating and flexible with my last minute request. I'm sure to leave my dog with him again! Thank you, Doug.”
About: I’m a dog mom to Pepper, my 9-year-old rescue, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry baby with someone else. I’ve cared for friends’ pets for years, and I also have foster experience — I cared for an 18-year-old senior dog for 9 months until he found his forever home:). I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need a slow walk, playtime, senior care, cuddles, or quiet company. I’ll treat your pet like my own and send updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. We work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. We usually do a morning walk, some playtime in our private driveway around lunchtime, and an evening walk or park time. On very hot days, we avoid walking in the middle of the afternoon and prefer safe playtime in our shaded/private driveway instead. We live in a townhouse with a long private driveway, a nearby dog park, and several dog-friendly parks in the neighborhood. It’s a very dog-friendly area, and many of the neighborhood dogs already know and get along with our rescue dog, Pepper. At home, I focus on a calm, safe environment with supervision, patience, and care based on each dog’s personality and comfort level.
“Ava was great with Oakley and extremely flexible with my ever changing schedule! Oakley seemed to really take to her right away! She sent me lots of pics :) and followed all instructions! Thank you Ava!”

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.

“Kayleigh is great! Responsive to communication, on time and hasn't canceled. My Happy loves her and is excited to see her. I receive pictures right away. I will continue to use Kayleigh.”
“Jas is top notch of a dog walker and has set the standards pretty high. It’ll be challenging to find another dog walker of his caliber. More importantly, Chomsky enjoys the walks with him.”
“Sarahi was fantastic with walking our little guy! She sent a thoughtful update with photos and a detailed note, and I loved that she noticed he was hesitant on certain streets and adjusted the route so he’d be comfortable. He came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend - will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve been an in-home house/pet sitter for 3 years now with some consistent and happy pet families. I am happy to stay in home, drop in, do walks, and I’m experienced with cats and any sized dog. I have classes 3 days/week in the mornings, and then work everyday for 3-5 hours in the afternoon. I have space in between those commitments. I put the animal’s needs first! I love to do their favorite things with them. Running, playing fetch, cuddling, going to the park, going on walks, etc.
“Esmeralda is wonderful with our golden retriever! She is calm, attentive, and engaging, gets in sync with his personality, and lets him enjoy being outside for an adventure, read the daily doggie news or just hang out listening to music. She is a professional when it comes to her canine care so we are confident when we leave our pup with her. Thank you Esmi!! 😁”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!
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: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need gentle care and extra attention. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, administering basic medications, and maintaining calm, comforting environments. My priority is always safety, trust, and keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after, making sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I build my day around their routines. On a weekly basis, I check in with clients to confirm schedules, update them with photos and notes, and make sure each pet’s needs are being met. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every single day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines to minimize stress, keep them active and engaged, and send regular photo and text updates so owners feel connected and confident that their furry family members are in good hands.
About: My family has had dogs for most of my life. I have experience from large breeds to small breeds. I currently have two rescues myself (One Pitbull mix and one Chihuahua mix). I am an avid dog walker and always try to pay attention to the pup while walking to ascertain how it does around other people and dogs to try and avoid any potential situations that may occur. It's my own policy with dogs to not leave them unattended for more than a few hours at a time, for example, whenever I was working part time jobs I would always make sure to come home for lunch so I could relieve my dogs and ensure they're given all the proper attention that they deserve. I'm also proficient in reading when dogs are in need of medical attention as my pit mix is quite a special case genetically and requires that kind of hands on care, especially as he gets older in age. My bottom line is that my dogs are family to me and I understand that I am not alone in that thought, so to trust an individual with your family members care is a hard thing to do and I will make sure to attend to your pets needs as if they were my own because thats what I have come to expect from dog sitters myself. Pet care is nonstop. To me, my pets are family and are just as deserving of attention and having their needs met as I am. My pit mix is an incredibly anxious dog and requires a lot of attention when it comes to being taken outside to go to the bathroom, being calmed down when loud noises occur or new people enter my house, and he can have some digestion issues requiring constant attention to his stool and changes to his diet. This can feel like a lot but he's family so I've found ways to incorporate these needs into my daily life with work and other things that happen throughout the day. As I've said in my profile, I try to not be gone for more than a few hours at a time as long periods of absence can be stressful for dogs that depend on our care and attention. I make sure to ensure they always have water in their bowls, I try to take them to the bathroom as much as possible, and I go on one or two walks a day as my schedule allows to ensure they get proper exercise and socialization. My main goal is to ensure the safety of the pet. This means keeping food not appropriate for pets tucked away or pushed back on counters and out of their reach. It means always having an eye on my/your pet whether thats at home or out and about. I also try to maintain a clean space as things on the floor depending on the object can be eaten and thats any pet owners nightmare. It's also important to me that the client feels respected and safe to leave not only their pet but their home in my hands if I'm staying for a majority of the day or even nights. This means I leave no trace of myself and always double check to make sure the home is cleaner than I found it. I also have no issues cleaning up poop from backyards or piddle pads from balconies. I also understand that people think differently on where dogs are supposed to sleep, I personally let my dog sleep with me in the bed so if thats what your dog is looking for I can absolutely comply but if thats not what you prefer I am also able to make sure they stay where they're supposed to be. Lastly, as I've mentioned, hiring a pet sitter can be stressful as you don't know me nor I you so its incredibly important to me that I listen to what you're saying and asking of me in regards to the treatment of your home and your pet so that I can do the best job possible and have you come home to a happy pet and a happier home.
“Octavia is amazing! Very communicative and knows how to handle dogs incredibly well. Her dog training experience is super key and nice to have.

About: Animal care comes natural to me, and I am the one who is always trusted with everyone’s animals. Throughout my life , I’ve consistently been surrounded with animals.

About: Dani and I are passionate dog lovers! Doggy sitting brings so much joy to our lives! We have a sweet and friendly eight year old chihuahua at home. We have used Rover ourselves to find sitters for our furry baby, so we understand the fears that come with finding a trust worthy sitter for your furry child. We work from home so your pup will be able to hang at home with us all the time! Bambi is very respectful of the doggies we have over, so depending if they’re up for sleeping or playing all day, Bambi will join. We also have a ton of dog toys that I’m sure they’ll love. As dog moms ourselves, we understand that you want a sitter that is reliable, communicative and loving. We will send you daily updates and you can expect some very cute pics of your baby during their stay! Your pet will receive so much love from our dog loving household! They will always have someone to play with or cuddle with. Bambi gets along with all dogs because she can easily sleep all day or stay very entertained playing with her toys and her new friend. We have experience caring for all types of breeds ranging from toy breeds to large breeds. As well as puppies and older dogs. We also have experience administering prescriptions, in case your pet is taking any.
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.

About: Dogs have been a big part of our lives. We adopted Bruno, our beloved Labrador Retriever, with whom we spent 11 years until he fought bravely with cancer but could not win. Bruno socialized me to his friends like Mastiffs, German Shepherds, Corgis, Golden Retrievers and many more and helped me understand that each dog, irrespective of his breed, has a unique personality and temperament. Thus, please do tell us about your dogs unique traits and his phobias so that we can make him feel at home. This is important for us to know as dogs undergo huge stress to be away from their home. After Bruno passed away, we adopted Rex, Labrador Retriever, who has helped us heal and made us realize how important dogs are in our lives! Both, me and my wife WFH and have flexible working schedule. So one of us will be at home to take care of the pack. We have Rex, a Labrador Retreiver, who goes on walks 2x times a day for 2-3 miles everyday. If the dog is staying with us, based on his needs, he can join us on our walks. Plus, we have a fully fenced backyard for dogs to play and run freely. Often, we take break from our work and play with our dog in the backyard or go for a small 5-10 min walk outside our home. For everyone’s safety, the dog should get along with kids and other dogs. Please let us know if there are any health issues and/or food allergies. My wife and I have experience caring for senior dogs, and both of us are comfortable administering medications as needed.
“Alexa took wonderful care of Mugsy! Before our stay she made time for a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit. She was very communicative throughout the process and Mugsy’s stay with her. We got lots of pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind. Mugsy came home a happy dog!”
“We couldn't have been more pleased with the care Jifu provided for our dog. He was responsive, professional, and, most importantly, handled our very energetic pup with care. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Jifu and his dog, Joki!”
“We had a fantastic boarding experience with Yi and Jeff. They provided frequent updates and photos, and thoughtfully addressed my dog's anxiety about being in a new boarding situation. My dog was very happy when I picked her up.”
“This was such a great experience! My pup was happy and relaxed during her stay. She enjoyed her time with Guillermo, Siobhan and Maisy . And I was so grateful they were willing and able to keep her on short notice. Thank you!!!”
“Honor had another fabulous stay with Jesse & Kimmy. She was so excited to be reunited with them and we're convinced that one of these times she just isn't going to want to come back home.”
“Lia was great watching our dog while we were out of town for the holidays. Pictures and videos every day. He had a ton of fun running around her back yard and came home tired and happy!”
“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!”
“Deborah is amazing!! Snoopy was taken on a lot of walks. She was kind to him. She fell in love with him and it made the whole experience. It’s just absolutely amazing from the very beginning. I would highly recommend her. She is a very caring person and you can tell she loves animals.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Ruo host my dog for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Throughout the stay, Ruo kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that Ruo genuinely connected with my dog—so much so that when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to come home! My dog's comfort and happiness were Ruo's top priorities, and it truly showed. I highly recommend Ruo to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“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!”
About: We are a family of four who loves dogs. Our lives center around our healthy 5 year old lab retriever Texas who spayed and updated with her shots. We live in the beautiful hills of Belmont and have a deck for dogs to sunbathe on and a fenced yard to play and get their wiggles out. I’m a dog walker so what better than walking two dogs versus one! 7am potty break, 7.30am Breakfast, 8-9am morning play, relax/sunbathe (dogs 😊), 10-11 am bathroom break 4pm - dinner, 5-7 pm walk , lights out -10.30pm Before boarding it’s imperative that we meet the dog and the dogs meet each other. Smaller dogs get very defensive affront large dogs and since we have a large dog I’m right now restricted to large dogs only. Our fenced yard is a perfect place for dogs to play and have fun with the gazillion toys we have. We also live 5min away from a dog park so if your dog is friendly and has a good recall that’s another place we can have fun. I take time to build and earn the dog’s trust - some treats go a long way. I check their paws after playing to ensure nothing is bothering and also keep a keen eye on any scratching or biting.
“You won’t find better dog care than Katie and Jason! Attentive, caring and loving- they went above and beyond with walks, playtime and snuggles. Benji had a wonderful time staycationing with them! Super great communication before and during stay, too! Our pooches will be back. Can’t recommend more highly. 🩷”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jas! He was able to care for our dog Murphy last minute. He was very responsive, sent updates and pictures throughout our whole trip. The pictures of Murphy showed how relaxed and happy he was! Pretty sure Murph came back smelling better 😆 We will definitely be using Jas again.”
“Jennifer took care of my dog like one of her one. She constantly gave me periodic updates and was flexible with the pick up time when my flight got delayed. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelly and Ben were great with Sadey for a long stay! I can tell she was well loved and taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely leave our pup with them again! Thank you!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful! She made the Rover experience so easy and gave us complete peace of mind. She was caring, communicative, reliable, and clearly treated our pup like family. We got great updates and came home to a very happy dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Chelsea to anyone!”
