“Wonderful people! Super detail oriented on how to care for my fur baby Pico! They kept us updated everyday on how he was doing and I completely trust them. We will be in touch again for when we need a dog sitter again!”
“This was our second visit and as soon as we arrived, "Chica" pulled me to their door with her tag wagging. Again, it was great getting the photo updates. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another stress free vacation! Looking forward to seeing you soon!”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Cynthia, got so much exercise and playtime with other dogs. Cynthia shared tons of photos and I just felt so grateful for her during my trip. I knew I picked the right sitter.”
“Lily was AMAZING!! We received dozens of pictures every day and could really see how comfortable and happy Axel was. She took excellent care of him, including administration of meds and daily walks on the beach (turns out he loves it!). We can’t wait to see Lily again!”
“Sam takes wonderful care of my English Bulldog. I have complete peace of mind knowing Tess is in Sam’s care and I greatly appreciate the frequent and thoughtful updates while I am away.”
“Our dog Coffee had a wonderful 5-night stay with Laura while we were out of state traveling. She went out of her way to make sure Coffee was comfortable in the space before we left on our trip, and we felt confident the entire time that Coffee was being well cared for. We received regular updates with pictures. Right before our trip, Coffee was put on a course of antibiotics and Laura was wonderful in adding the medication into Coffee's care schedule, despite his strong aversion to medication of any kind! We had a fantastic experience with Laura, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
“David was amazing, and I can't thank him enough for all the kindness he showed my little Yoshi. During my 12-day absence, he sent me updates and pictures, which reassured me. When I rang the doorbell to pick him up, Yoshi barked just like he does at home. This shows the level of trust and comfort he found with David. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog Daisy had a great time with George and Lida! Daisy is very shy, so we were shocked that she had gotten so close to them and had done so well in just a week. Daisy also has a few health issues (pancreatitis and IBS), and they did a great job caring for her specific issues and asking questions when needed.”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Eevee had a lovely stay with Nancy and her sweet pup Nala! We received daily updates about her day while we were away and she got plenty of exercise & love:) We were able to enjoy our trip worry free and came back to a happy pup. Thank you for taking good care of our sweet girl! ❤️”
“Forrest seemed to have an amazing time with Remo who sent daily pictures and updates. Will definitely use him again. He was very warm and interactive and made us and Forrest feel right at home.”
“Winnie had a wonderful time with Melissa! It was only Winnie's second time staying overnight away from home, and Melissa's care, proactive communication, and photos put me at ease while traveling. Winnie came home happy and well-cared for, and I am so appreciative!”
“Terry and her husband were so kind and caring. My dog is often anxious in new situations and it was so nice to see her at ease in the photos and playing with Terry's dog! I will definitely book again.”
“10/10 experience with Julley! Our first time using Rover and we will definitely be using it again and hopefully rebooking Julley. Jack was very well cared for, played with, and comfortable. She provided daily updates and pics of Jack as well. Highly recommend Julley😊”

“Kendra took care of my cats while I was away for two weeks. I was pretty nervous because I don’t travel very often. I would 100% recommend hiring Kendra she was so sweet to my kitties and I could tell she was taking the time to get to know them while I was gone so my babies didn’t have to feel so alone during my trip. Thank you so much!!”
“Wei did a great job with Mia and didi! She played with both the cats even though Mia is very shy and gave them lots of love and traction. There was a mix up and one of my friends took our house key, and Wei waited for her to come back so she could check in on the cats!”
“Our cats were well-cared for while we were away and were in good spirits when we returned. K Zin gave us great updates of their status and adorable pictures to let us know they were doing well.”
“Brendan is an amazing, responsible, and very honest and trustworthy person!! He is the person you want to have around to watch your cat! He plays with your cat, and tends to whatever else their needs might be, he did an excellent job with my cat and I would 11/10 ask him to come back again, both my cat and I loved Brendan!”
“Ronnie was everything I could ask for in a cat-sitter! Sent lots of cute updates, clearly cared for our kitty very well, and was very kind and attentive. I was initially anxious about leaving my cat alone for the first time as a solo-kitty, but it was immediately clear he was in great hands. Thank you Ronnie!!”
“Erica has been a kind and attentive sitter for our cat, Cheetah. They immediately connected, and it was clear from the start that Cheetah felt comfortable and happy in her care!”
“Nessa is great. She's super organized and very trustworthy. I feel so relieved when I'm travelling that I don't have to stress about my cats -- she's always on it! :)”
“Cameron was so incredible! My kittie Marilyn warmed up to her immediately, and she sent me so many great pictures that kept me at ease while on my trip. So grateful to have been connected with her and would definitely book with her again! Thank you Cameron!!”
About: I’ve had a cat since I was 10 and know them really well. I can read their moods and know when they want attention versus space. Friends and family trust me with their pets and I’m totally comfortable with all kinds of cat personalities
About: I've taken care of my own chihuahuas and cats when my parents have gone on trips, I have had an experience of house sitting for my mom's friends dog. Living with animals has also taught me how to provide proper care. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is currently very flexible. But I hope to get a job in the future which would slightly change my schedule I can accommodate to any type of environment/living situation and make your pets feel safe with me in their home. I hope to give your pets the best experience possible in their own home
“Joseph did a great job with my cats and even got one of them to warm up to him a bit about halfway through (both of my cats are very skittish). He kept my place neat and tidy while I was away, too. I will continue to utilize his services as much as he is available!”
About: I’ve taken care of various cats such as my own, housemates’ cats, and family friend’s cats. I owned my cat for a little over a year and kept my space clean and efficiently fed my cat and cleaned her litter box.
“Yuexin is a great sitter!!! While my wife and I went on vacation for over a week, Yuexin took amazing care of Micho; he warmed up super quickly to Yuexin and that gave us piece of mind that he was in great hands. She was responsive and sent us updates with pictures/videos daily. We truly appreciated that. We HIGHLY recommend Yuexin and feel very thankful to have found her to take care of Micho.”
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon for 2 weeks. We got lots of update photos and our cats seemed to have welcomed her right away. Very kind and responsive person, will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I recently just moved to the Bay Area and I had to take a trip shortly after, so I got in contact with Shailyng. One of my cats has had health issues in the past related to moving, so I was worried that this would be an issue again. Having Shailyng come over daily and give me an update on their health and wellbeing was a huge reassurance and relief during my trip. Even though they were hiding during their visits she would keep me updated very closely and even worked with my landlord to make sure they were okay.”
“Rachel took great care of our cat, Ellie. She was punctual, communicative, and a lovely person overall! Ellie seems to be a big fan of her as well, as the photos we received showed her enjoying cuddles and playing :) We will definitely reach out to her again next time we leave town.”
“Page took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. She was quick to respond to us and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I would definitely book her again!”

“I met Sheena for a meet n greet and must say that, unlike other Rover employees I have encountered, I was impressed with the time and interest she took in getting to know my dog. After meeting her, I felt extremely comfortable having her watch him and booked daycare. I just picked up my dog from "daycare" with her and he looked pretty happy. Sheena was communicative regarding questions that arose during his stay with her. She took 2 very cute pictures of him to add to my collection. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking Sheena again for daycare and boarding.”
“Stephanie was reliable and communicative, providing regular updates and photos. Our Poppy had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Genuine people in this world are truly rare treasure! We rescued Rocco from the SPCA and quickly realized he could not be left at home alone while we went to work. I found out about this app a few days later and downloaded it. We were SO nervous leaving Rocco with new people after we just got him, but at the meet and greet Rocco warmed up to Gordon and Allison quickly. My partner are I felt so reassured that Rocco would be safe and cared about. Gordon and Allison are truly the most kind human beings my partner and I have met in a really long time. We were so grateful to find them. They will absolutely take the care of your dog. They took the BEST pictures of Rocco during the day too! My work schedule changed and we no longer need their services. Give them a try, we absolutely loved them and you and your pup will too! 🐾❤️”

“Lily provided daycare at her home to my one gear old mini aussie as she was recovering from getting spayed. She followed the schedule I gave her, sent lots of pics, and my dog was happy to see her in the morning, wiggling her little butt, which is always a good sign. We would definitely use her again.”
“We've repeatedly chosen Vivian for dog sitting, and she never disappoints. The updates are reassuring, and her care is filled with affection. Thanks for always being reliable😊”
“My children had excellent daycare as infants. Jayern’s care for my dog far exceeds what they received. She is incredible, flexible, and very reasonably priced. Our dog, my husband and I are huge fans.”
About: We’re Alvin & Ashley, devoted dog parents and partners in life and pet care. We have 25+ years of combined experience. Growing up with dogs and caring for friends’ pups sparked our passion for small‑dog care. Since then we’ve raised our own Cavapoo, Sterling, from puppyhood into adulthood and have hosted dozens of small breeds through Rover. Our experience spans puppies, seniors, anxious rescues and pups with special dietary needs. We are comfortable administering oral medication, supporting post‑surgical dogs and accommodating senior quirks like limited mobility or hearing loss. Your pet receives loving, family-style care, not just a boarding spot. As a husband‑and‑wife team working from home, we devote our days to keeping tiny tails wagging. From morning potty breaks to bedtime cuddles, one of us is always there. If Alvin steps out for an errand, Ashley is here with your pup. If Ashley is busy, Alvin has it covered. We share all care duties, follow your feeding and medication instructions to the letter, and welcome written schedules. Your dog’s safety and comfort are non‑negotiable. We live in a quiet, dog‑friendly housing complex with two on‑site playgrounds designed for small breeds. We also cap groups at one to two small dogs, meaning your pup never has to compete with large breeds. Our home features puppy gates, soft beds, a small metal crate available if needed and multiple living areas so pups can be separated or have private nap time. We’re a non‑smoking household with no children. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to. You’re welcome to bring your dog’s own crate or bedding to help them feel at home. We also provide daily photo and video updates throughout each stay, keeping you connected to your pup’s adventures.

“Irene was good with Mamba. It was Mambas first time and he was very anxious. Irene was very mindful and made sure to want she can to make sure Mamba was less anxious. She took him on a walk and gave him lots of attention.”
About: About Me: My name is Isabella, living with my family in San Francisco. I grew up with dogs as my parents always had one, then I had my own - a sweet little pug Kokoro. Sadly, Kokoro lost her battle to cancer in 2016 and broke my heart. I am not ready to have a new fur baby, yet, I miss the feeling of having one because the house seems too quiet sometimes. Therefore, having a chance to become a fur baby sitter is actually perfect to share my puppy love. Moreover, I recently delivered a newborn baby, and think it would be a wonderful thing to introduce puppies to my baby. I am pretty experienced with daily caring such as putting in eye drops / ointment, brushing teeth, cleaning ears besides cuddling and playing. When I am home on weekends, I take the fur baby out to potty however often they need. I will treat your fur baby like my own, do my best to follow instruction to take care of him/her, provide a clean, safe and loving home. In addition, I used to be a volunteer at SPCA Burlingame to help puppies to find their fur-ever home because I believe all puppies deserve a loving family. I work from home most of the time, and I normally only host 1 puppy at a time, so you puppy will get my attention and company all the time. I have a fenced yard, and I always walk puppies on leash. My house is close to the park, so puppies get plenty of walks and fresh air everyday.
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Renee and Christopher for Chewy’s daycare. They’re easy to work with, send frequent updates, and are clearly very thoughtful dog lovers — our senior dog Chewy seems so happy and comfortable in their home. Chewy often takes a while to warm up to new people, but they were quick to get a read on his personality and have made him feel at ease. When we go to drop him off he usually runs right in without looking back!”
“Great experience with doggy day care. I appreciated how Ronnie managed the handoff and walked him immediately to get him comfortable with her and her dog, and also sent pictures of the afternoon.”

“Sabina has been an absolute blessing! Boris (my dog) loves Sabina and even knows she's arrived to pick him up before we did! And when they are done with the walk, he is tired. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me of the status of the walk which is always comforting. She truly is a compassionate human being and I have never been more satisfied w/ any other dog walker I have used before. I don’t know what we would do without her!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Taylor, our dog walker. From the moment we met him, he exuded professionalism and a genuine love for animals. He was extremely communicative, always keeping us updated on how our pup, Unagi, was doing during their walks. Taylor was fantastic with Unagi - he was patient, kind, and knew exactly how to handle her energetic personality. I always felt at ease knowing that Unagi was in good hands with Taylor. It was clear that he truly cared for her well-being and enjoyed spending time with her. Overall, I highly recommend Taylor as a dog walker. He is trustworthy, reliable, and most importantly, great with dogs. Thank you, Taylor, for taking such good care of our furry baby!”
“Destiny has been amazing! She instantly clicked with my dog, Minne, which put me at ease right away. Communication was fast, clear, and thoughtful — I always knew when and how the walks were going. She was on time for every walk and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Destiny!”
“Ronnie was the best with my timid dog. She was intuitive and kind and put both my pup and me at ease with her care. It was super easy to work with Ronnie who was flexible, communicative, and professional. Highly recommend working with her if you can!”

About this sitter: I am a born dog lover and have never met a dog I have not instantly fallen in love with. Growing up, I never had my own dog so I spent my afternoons begging my friends to let me take their dogs on walks to the dog park. I loved going on vacations with the families of my friends, knowing their dogs were always a vacation staple. I can’t help but smile when I meet a new dog, their individual personality making me fall in love with them. Yes, I am that person that stops you on the street to pet your dog, saying over and over how cute he is. My brother has a Beagle named Bailey and I am always insisting that he comes down from San Diego so I can play with his sweet sock stealing dog. Why I love dog sitting Growing up, I never had a dog of my own so I spent my afternoons begging my friends to let me take their fur pals on walks to the dog park. Now my brother has a playful fur baby named Bailey. I love when they visit me from San Diego. About my yard We have a small fenced backyard landscaped with wood chips. I love hiking with pups and try to go at least a few times a week, so they'll be able to enjoy nature too! My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication or injections. I just ask that you give me specific instructions. If you fur-kid needs to be administered injections, I do charge $5 an injection.
“Sandra (Mimi) was wonderful! We needed someone to check in on our senior pup and take him out for potty relief during the day for several days. She took good care of our little guy and took her time with him, which is just what you need when you’ve got a senior dog with a heart condition. Her communication is excellent, from our meet and greet throughout the days we had her. She let me know each day when she was on her way. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. I got photos everyday too. We will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you, Mimi!!”

My schedule is flexible, and I can care for your babies any time during the day or early evening on most days. Just reach out and let me know when and where! I will follow your instructions to the letter and will be certain to treat your babies as my own. Working in the zoo field for decades has given me a deep appreciation for the importance of following protocol and prioritizing animal safety while having fun and finding joy in the moment!

“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Cynthia, got so much exercise and playtime with other dogs. Cynthia shared tons of photos and I just felt so grateful for her during my trip. I knew I picked the right sitter.”
“Lily was AMAZING!! We received dozens of pictures every day and could really see how comfortable and happy Axel was. She took excellent care of him, including administration of meds and daily walks on the beach (turns out he loves it!). We can’t wait to see Lily again!”
“Sam takes wonderful care of my English Bulldog. I have complete peace of mind knowing Tess is in Sam’s care and I greatly appreciate the frequent and thoughtful updates while I am away.”
“Our dog Coffee had a wonderful 5-night stay with Laura while we were out of state traveling. She went out of her way to make sure Coffee was comfortable in the space before we left on our trip, and we felt confident the entire time that Coffee was being well cared for. We received regular updates with pictures. Right before our trip, Coffee was put on a course of antibiotics and Laura was wonderful in adding the medication into Coffee's care schedule, despite his strong aversion to medication of any kind! We had a fantastic experience with Laura, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Molly and Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my senior Lab during his overnight stay. Even though he’s older, he still has plenty of energy, and they balanced his need for comfort and activity. They made sure he was cozy in his bed at night, let him enjoy their lovely backyard for breaks, and took him on a fun “sniff-rari” walk in the morning. When we picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared-for. I really appreciate the thoughtful attention they gave him during his short stay!”
“Megan is awesome. She has a fantastic place with a nice backyard I’m sure Max enjoyed. Max was recovering from an injury and Megan took great care, keeping that cone of shame firmly in place. We will definitely leave Max with Megan again!”
“Eevee had a lovely stay with Nancy and her sweet pup Nala! We received daily updates about her day while we were away and she got plenty of exercise & love:) We were able to enjoy our trip worry free and came back to a happy pup. Thank you for taking good care of our sweet girl! ❤️”
“10/10 experience with Julley! Our first time using Rover and we will definitely be using it again and hopefully rebooking Julley. Jack was very well cared for, played with, and comfortable. She provided daily updates and pics of Jack as well. Highly recommend Julley😊”
“Kami was a wonderful dog sitter, she provided lots of great updates and took my dog Genesis for lots of walks & to the park! I am very happy with my dog's stay and will book again!!”
“Mimi was such a wonderful sitter! She was very diligent and thorough in following Rufus’ care info and sent us so many fun updates regarding how he was doing. Rufus had so much fun with Mimi and as a dog parent, you couldn’t ask for more from a sitter. I’d definitely recommend Mimi to anyone looking to board their dog ❤️❤️❤️”
“This is my second time using Elmargie and she is great. You can tell she loves dogs and takes care of her own pets well and treats dogs with care. My dog Basil comes home clean and happy! She communicates well. I will continue to use her services for dog sitting!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and am also a proud dog parent to two amazing pups of my own. Caring for them every day has taught me how important it is to provide love, patience, exercise, and a consistent routine. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual schedule, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Since I care for my own two dogs every day, I’m already used to planning my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to help them feel at home. I’ll provide plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Excellent communication. Antonio and Cynthia helped pick up and dogsit my pup after my wedding ceremony. They were very timely and sent great photos of my dog. Very happy with their services!”
“Victoria was wonderful. Took amazing care of my dog Charlie, and even accommodated me when I set the wrong end time for the booking! Highly recommend.”
“Mikele was so thoughtful and communicative during our boarding experience. She took such good care of Cooper. We could see him so comfortable and happy with her. She even helped administer some meds. So happy we found such a wonderful person.”
“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”
“Maria took great care of my French bulldog, Bowie for ~10 days. Sent photos every day and was very responsive to all messages. I would definitely rebook and recommend.”
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life, whether it was my standard poodle as a young kid, my mini poodle as a teenager or, more recently, the senior dogs I’ve fostered or adopted from Muttville. Dogs have always been in good hands with me. Right now my wife and I have two dachshund chihuahua mixes we adopted at five and six. Our home is a dog home. They’re on the couch, on the bed and even under the covers (if they want to burrow). They’re in the mix and they’re loved. If your dog has medications, I’ve got it. If they have special needs or they’re older and need a slower pace, I have ample experience with that. I’m currently dedicating my time to taking care of pups, so your pup will have my undivided attention throughout the days and evenings. The max amount of time I’d leave your dog alone would be for four hours. I have two dogs of my own that I would keep separate from your dog to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I have a fully fenced backyard with a couple of stairs. I also have pet stairs inside to help senior dogs get up on to the couch and bed
