“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!”
“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.”
“This was Olive’s second stay with Janet and her family. We had an unforeseen circumstance that kept us out of town for an additional day, and Janet was incredibly kind to continue to watch Olive. We knew she was well taken care of. We would highly recommend Janet!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Stacey took amazing care of my two small pups. She gave me regular updates, asked about any special care instructions, and genuinely loves her dogs she takes care of. We will definitely come back to Stacey in the future.”
“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.”
“I can not recommend James and his partner as pet sitters enough. They were responsive, professional, and accommodating. From the moment we booked, to the pick up; I felt genuinely safe and confident leaving my fur baby with James. My lil pup warmed up to them instantly and I knew she was in great hands. James sent a photo each day and when I picked up my dog she seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you for much James and Jas! I am so grateful and hope to re-book soon.”
“Marcella watched our dog for 10 days while we went on vacation. We had an initial meet and greet a couple weeks before our stay, Marcella was very responsive and timely in organizing the meet and greet as well as scheduling drop off and pick up. She was also extremely considerate - prior to Gus coming she asked us if it was okay if another dog would come for day care. That fact that she checked with us first really made us feel comfortable that Gus would be in good hands and that she was going to take good care of Gus. She sent us tons of pictures and videos of Gus while we were gone. Her family made Gus feel right at home. Her son seemed to be playing with Gus 24/7 -- too cute!! Gus came home and was totally pooped and happy. We are so grateful for the excellent care that Marcella gave Gus. We would feel lucky if Marcella would be able to watch Gus again.”
“It was Charlie's first experience boarding and Jifu did a great job. Charlie got a long great with Joki and seemed to spend the days playing and having fun. Everything went well and Charlie came home happy and healthy. Thanks!”
“Communicative, kind, and definitely an animal lover. I felt so at ease knowing my cat Buster was in her care. She frequently sent pictures and videos as well as updates on behaviors and how he was settling in. My cat was clearly so comfortable and happy staying with her. She was also very flexible when it came to my flight delay causing me to pick up buster a little bit later than planned. Thank you for taking such good care of my Buster!”
“It was a great experience to board Miko with Mariam! Mariam was very kind and responsive throughout the entire stay. Our pet greatly enjoyed her time at Mariam’s place! Definitely recommend her for future booking!”
“As this was our first time leaving our newly rescued dog, we were rather nervous. We chose Ivan because he offered consistent monitoring, freedom to explore outside and inside, and doggie playmates of similar size. The stay was even better than we could have hoped for and we were grateful for the daily pictures and regular communication. Our Sally was very well loved while we were gone.”
“Kimmy took great care of Bunny. She sent us pictures and videos to keep us updated on how he was doing. It was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend their services.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my puppy Henry while he was boarded with her. She made sure he got plenty of exercise and lots of social time with other dogs, including puppies, which was perfect for him. She even took care of some grooming, which was a nice bonus. Henry came home happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be bringing him back to Megan soon. Highly recommend!”
“India had a wonderful visit with Olga and her family. She was loved, walked and cuddled. I received lots of photos and videos and felt completely assured India was in good hands. I loved that India had access to her yard, dog park and lots of walks. I am absolutely going to rebook Olga for India. I feel completely lucky to find Olga, she is a gem, thoughtful, responsible and naturally an animal person.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, plus a safe, comfortable home with yard space for walks and plenty of love to give. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, and I love spending time outdoors with my daughter. Your dog would get plenty of attention, walks, and care. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I keep things clean, comfortable, and with space to play. I make sure pets have supervision, fresh water, regular feeding, exercise, and attention. In a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner’s instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent.
“This was Charlie’s first time with Ava and he had a blast! She sent many photos and kept in touch. She took him for walks everyday, and he loved the backyard to play/lounge. Would definitely recommend!”
“Cesia was great. She took very good care of my dog during the overnight boarding stay. I got frequent photo and text updates, which I appreciated. She also groomed Delilah. Overall, I was very happy with the stay and care received. Thanks Cesia!”
“Jenisa took wonderful care of our Mochi and sent pictures and communication often. He instantly felt comfortable in her home when he is typically anxious in a different environment! It’s a testament to Jenisa in how comfortable she made him feel. She treated him with tender loving care as a senior dog! We are very happy with her care!”

Moose had a great time with Taylor and her family, and didn’t want to leave :) Taylor was very communicative throughout the stay. I appreciated the daily photo updates and her attentiveness to Moose’s schedule. The meet & greet beforehand was also super helpful. Thanks so much, Taylor!
Margareth is an absolutely wonderful host! She took such loving care of our Dudu during her stay. Since we don’t have a US driver’s license, she and her mom kindly went out of their way to pick Dudu up and drop her back home. She kept us updated regularly with sweet messages and videos, so we always knew Dudu was happy and safe. We truly appreciate everything she did for our pup. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring pet host, you can’t go wrong with Margareth — your furry friend will be in the very best hands.
Kylie is a fantastic dog sitter. She took care of our two dogs over the holidays while we were out of town, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She has a stunning home in a lovely neighborhood with a spacious backyard where the dogs could play and relax. She regularly sent us updates with goofy photos of our pups playing with her dog, as well as sweet pictures of them cuddling with the family in bed. She was attentive to their health and well-being, even going the extra mile when one of our dogs wasn’t eating and giving him extra care and comfort. We would absolutely book with her again.
Karmyn took good care of our senior dog and followed the care instructions we provided. Our dog came home healthy, and we appreciate that she was available to take her over the holidays. That said, the communication did not match our expectations, especially given the premium $250/night rate. Our original holiday sitter canceled a month before our trip, so we booked Karmyn based on her Rover profile stating she was “happy to send photos/updates as desired,” and her in-person reassurance that she would provide frequent updates. This was important because our dog is 16 years old and we were traveling for 10 days. By day three we asked if she could send 3–4 photos throughout day. She responded on WhatsApp, “Oh that’s a bit much. Normally I check in once every few days. Happy to send daily updates. She is doing well.” Despite explaining our need for reassurance for our senior dog, updates were indeed daily but remained inconsistent with some days 1–2 photos, others 3–4. We do not believe our request was unreasonable, given Karmyn advertised sending updates “as desired” on her profile, this was communicated in advance, and our dog is a senior. Despite paying more than double the typical local rate, we felt like we had to cater to her communication preferences. Overall, the care itself was good. Karmyn was also willing to take our dog for more time when our flight was cancelled (but we had a friend pick our dog up). But there was a mismatch between expectations and follow-through on communication.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% of sitters in Woodside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Woodside home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Woodside.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodside. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Woodside 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
