“Tracy’s updates and communication were very good and much appreciated throughout our dog’s two-week stay with her while we were traveling internationally. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her again!”

“Michael and Tyler were divided a truly wonderful and happy stay for our little girl. They welcomed her and made her feel right at home, and she clearly had such a blast with them. It’s so reassuring to be able to leave her with people who are going to love her and care for her as you would yourself. We will have no hesitation in leaving our girl with them again in the future.”

“Manli is incredibly kind and truly cared for our dog. She took him on long walks and gave him so much love and attention. He seemed really happy and content when we picked him up. We’re so grateful!!”


About: Our family has loved dogs for years, and we're excited to share our home with yours! Our kids have spent the past year as trusted dog walkers for several neighbors on our street, building a reputation for being dependable, attentive, and great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Our home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Palo Alto with a large fully fenced backyard and a spacious front yard, perfect for safe off-leash play, fetch, and lounging in the sun. With two active, dog-loving kids in the house, your pet will never be short on attention, belly rubs, or walks around our beautiful neighborhood. Whether your dog needs gentle company, lots of playtime, or a few long strolls a day, we'll treat them like one of our own. We offer weekend boarding from Friday through Monday, when our family's schedule is fully flexible and dog-focused. Your dog will get multiple walks around our leafy Palo Alto neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. With two dog-loving kids at home, your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. They'll feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive. In our home, dogs get full access to our fenced backyard, multiple daily walks around our Palo Alto neighborhood, and lots of family company between adventures. We follow your dog's feeding schedule and routine closely, and send photo updates throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Jesse and Kimmy took great care of my senior yellow lab Bruno for a week. They consistently sent updates (with pictures) without being asked and were very focused on instruction details when I handed him off. I try to keep a short list of potential sitters for when I’m out of town and they’ll be right at the top from now on.”
“I highly recommend Ying for anyone seeking a reliable and attentive pet sitter. She was incredibly thorough, followed every detailed instruction perfectly, and kept me at ease with regular photos and videos. One of my dogs bonded with her immediately, which is the ultimate endorsement. I couldn't have asked for a more professional or caring experience!”

“Three weeks after we got our puppy, we had to go on a week long trip and finding Mora could not have been short of a miracle. Our 4 months puppy loved spending time with her and knowing that he was in such a capable hand help us to also enjoy our time away! Mora was such a wonderful and loving caregiver and also spent some time to teach him new skills. I could not be happier with her and would recommend her to all of our friends, no need to say that she would always be our first choice! Thank you Mora”


“A was so kind to our pup, Napa. We appreciate her flexibility, knowledge, and fun personality. Napa looked forward to seeing her. She's conveniently located near Stanford, so she's a great fit for anyone visiting the hospital. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Meerim took wonderful care of Machi. She created a warm, attentive environment and kept us updated with detailed daily messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her responsiveness and clear communication made a huge difference during those moments. We truly appreciated how proactive and caring she was throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely call upon Meerim again and look forward to working with her in the future.”


“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!”

“Jasmine was very responsible and took care of our easily excitable dog with Love. Before the drop off, she carefully asked for important care instructions, and during the stay she kept us updated and shared photos.”

“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”

“Joy did a great job of caring for Kaylee. She is the only dog sitter we've ever had who read our suggested games to play (hide the toy etc) and used them! Kaylee was excited to see us when we returned but also immediately went back to say goodbye to Joy...a great sign that she had a good time.”

“Jifu did a great job taking care of my dog Taco. Taco was shy and afraid as this was his first stay away from family. Jifu was patient with Taco, and he was able to get more comfortable after a day. I received updates and photos from Jifu during the stay. I would book Jifu again. Thank you!”

“Kathryn and Denis are top notch dog people. They and their family provided a cozy and welcoming home for our high energy pup. Our dog does not always settle in quickly but did so quickly with this beautiful family. She, the dog, even appeared to mind her manners. Thank you K & D.”

Ventura dog parents share their Rover experiences
My baby girl had a great time at Anam’s place. My baby girl is turning 12 this year and is a cancer survivor. She can not climb stairs and needs medical attention. Anam did a great job making sure she is taken great care of. Anam’s dog is such a sweetheart and they got along really really well.

JoJo had a great time staying with Manli's family for a long weekend. Manli updated us every night with photos of JoJo's day, and it meant a lot to see her happy and playing with other dogs. Manli so clearly understands dogs and how they communicate. This was JoJo's first time boarded in a home, and I'm very grateful it was with Manli's family! She came home happy from a weekend full of play and attention.

Alice was fantastic with Ollie during her 15-day stay. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us complete peace of mind. Ollie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. She also had the best time playing with Alice’s dog, Charlie—they became great buddies! It’s obvious that Alice genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Ollie with Alice again and highly recommend her.

Ahmyah took care of my 8- year Golden Retriever (Basin) while I was attending meetings at Stanford for a few days. Its clear she really loves dogs. She sent me cute videos of Basin on campus having a great time! I would love for Basin to stay with Ahmyah again when we are back at Stanford.

Ali was fantastic! It was our first time leaving our dog with him, and at the end of her stay, she didn’t want to come home—which says everything. He kept us updated with photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Ali made sure she got plenty of exercise with walks and dog park runs, and she had an amazing time playing with his dog. She came home happily exhausted and clearly missing her new buddy. Plus she learned some new balls skills (fetch, drop, etc) which we had been trying to teach before her stay - bonus that she got some training while we were away! Communication was smooth and easy the whole time, and Ali was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with him again for more fun doggy playtime!

Jessica is truly amazing and left me fully at ease leaving Howie in her care. She is a sweet, kind and caring person and genuinely cared for my dog beyond expectation! I could tell Howie felt comfortable with her from the get go, and could tell even more that he was getting attached by the end of my trip. Howie would love to see Jessica again in the future ❤️
