“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!”
About: Firm yet loving care for all dogs, specializing in puppy training, high energy, hiking/running, and managing complex medical needs like seizures, food sensitivities, and limited mobility. Currently working from home with flexible time which allows me to integrate training, walks, play time, and medical monitoring throughout the day, while weekends are dedicated to long runs/walks and trail hikes. My approach to pet care is rooted in structure, trust, and genuine affection. My services will be tailored to each dog's needs indoors or outdoors.
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was having a vacation of his own with Apollo. She gave frequent updates with plenty of photos and was very communicative during the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Ying took such amazing care of our dog, Bailey! She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos! He seemed to really enjoy her pup and met a few more friends at her place too! She followed all of our instructions, and truly got to know him and listen to his cues. Thank you!!!!”
“Our dog was happily entertained and cared for with Guillermo and Siobhan. They were able to jump in and wash her off when she had an accident and they had excellent communication with us. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time boarding and Becks was very well taken care of again. He had a small wound and Kimmy was very good about keeping it bandaged and clean. I got a lot of pics, which was great! Fully recommend!”
“Christopher is wonderful. He's so thoughtful about sending updates and pictures, but most importantly, my dog is so happy to spend time with him. Would give 6 stars if I could.”
“Olga, Igor and family took great care of our young-at-heart doggie! It was our first time using Rover and Olga was exceptionally kind, responsive and caring. Our doggie was made an immediate member of their family and ran off to play with their dog, Fox without a backward glance. They sent photos and updates. We really appreciated the extra touches too like putting an air tag on our doggie’s collar. We highly recommend Olga and Igor!! Thank you!!!”
“Mario was very well cared for. He needed lot of attention and pets which he got in abundance. We also received regular photos and updates every day. Thank you Justin and An.”
“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!”
About: My love for animals started in 2010 when I welcomed Luna, my first dog, into my life. I raised her from a puppy, and she became a very special part of my family. In 2018, my husband and I adopted our first cat, and in 2019, we welcomed another beautiful kitty. I cared for both of them until 2022, when we moved to the United States. They stayed with our family in Colombia. We also had a Chihuahua here in the United States, which gave me additional experience caring for small dogs. Through these experiences, I've learned how important patience, love, responsibility, and attention are when caring for animals. I'm a very affectionate, attentive, and responsible person. I truly believe pets are family members, and they deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. I live in East Palo Alto with my husband and our daughter. We currently have no pets of our own, and our home has a private, fully fenced backyard. I will be the sole caregiver responsible for all pet care services. Although my husband and daughter live with me, I will personally provide all pet care, supervision, feeding, and walks. No other household members will be responsible for caring for the pets. I understand Rover's policy regarding minors. My daughter will always be supervised, and I understand that individuals under 18 are not covered by the Rover Guarantee. I prefer caring for one pet at a time so I can provide personalized attention in a peaceful and loving environment. I welcome small and medium-sized dogs and cats that are comfortable around children. I would love to give your furry family member a safe, comfortable, and loving place to stay while you're away! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work part-time and have availability during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for pets in my home. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. On weekends, I have more flexibility to dedicate time to my furry guests. My goal is to provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets feel like part of the family. I always communicate with pet owners to make sure I can accommodate their pet's routine and individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities! 🐾❤️ I live in a cozy family home in East Palo Alto with my husband and our daughter. We have a private, fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. We currently have no pets of our own, which allows me to provide a peaceful environment and personalized attention to each furry guest. I prefer caring for one pet at a time so I can focus on their individual needs, feeding schedules, playtime, and daily routines. I welcome small and medium-sized dogs and cats that are comfortable around children. For cats, I provide a calm indoor environment where they can feel safe and comfortable. I always follow the owner's instructions and am happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay. I want every pet to feel loved, protected, and at home while their family is away! ❤️
“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!”
“I had a really good experience with Emma. I was leaving my puppy, Leicester, for the first time and he seems to have enjoyed his stay. He was happy and active when I brought him back. I would love to have Emma as his sitter in future.”
“Deborah did a fantastic job caring for my little guy, Boba. As it's my first time using Rover, she shared consistent updates with photos/videos, which put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond, took him on walks/parks, and made Boba feel well cared for and happy. Boba had the time of his life under Deborah's care.”
“Yee Ping has been watching my kimchee since he was small for many many times, she’s the most trust worthy sitter I’ve ever encountered, kind, professional, really easy to communicate with, we’re extremely lucky to have her.”
“My Labrador, Georgia, had an amazing stay with Jennifer. Georgia is honestly a little depressed to be home after a week of hanging with Jennifer and her sweet dogs. Jennifer sent daily photo updates and messages and was very flexible when I was late picking Georgia up. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for many years I used to work with a German Shepard for a year. After that I have taken care of and walked another dog that I still sometimes take care of to this day! I am a full time student at CSM! Besides my school I have the time and willingness to take care of your pets any day. Unfortunately will not be able to take care of pets in my home due to restrictions. But I will make sure to be respectful and courteous while in a clients home!
“Great experience leaving my dog Clyde with Mel and his family. Very responsive to messages and great with the updates and videos. Wouldn’t hesitate to send Clyde over again… Not sure he will want to come home though 😁”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Menlo Park
Zulena sent us lots of pictures and updates about how our dog was doing and adapting during his stay. It was so reassuring to see that he was eating well, settling in, and enjoying lots of wonderful walks in nature. We really appreciated her care and communication!
Kelly did a great job caring for my Shih Tzu Pepper while we were away for a week on a family vacation. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful. She took great care of Pepper and sent regular photo updates. I had no concerns at all while we were away about Pepper’s care, I felt that I could trust Kelly completely. We received Pepper at the end of the week in excellent condition, happy and appropriately tired from a week of playing! I think her week with Kelly and her partner was a vacation week for Pepper too. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kelly again.
Shannon took great care of our lab Peanut and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos and messages. He got plenty of walks and activities, and it was clear that he was well looked after. We really appreciated the communication and would happily book with Shannon again.
This was our first time leaving our 13 month old dog with a sitter and it went great! Charlotte was very kind and assured me right away that she was well equipped to handle Theo. She sent lots of pictures and videos each day that we were away, followed our feeding and care instructions, and gave him a ton of exercise. He seemed very happy and we were so glad he was in such good hands while we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Menlo Park home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Menlo Park.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Menlo Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
