“Jessa took amazing care of my sweet puppy for two long days. They seemed to have a wonderful time and I knew she was in good hands! We’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Our dog had a good day with Joshua and Evangeline! They are nice people and sent cute pictures of the dog. I appreciated that they were able to accept a fairly last-minute care request too.”
“The best family to watch my puppy! They send updates and take such good care of her. And she’s always so happy to get dropped off here so I know she loves her time with them”
“Debbie was fantastic! She helped us with a very last minute request and took care of our boy while we had a few hours out. Will definitely recommend and use Debbie again.”
About: I work from home full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a private courtyard and medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely relax and play. I’m patient, friendly, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just watching them, but actively engaging with them and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my cousin’s dog, including helping with basic training and good behavior. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care they need. I work from home as a freelancer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, so your dog won’t be left alone for long. In my home, I have a private mid-size courtyard and a medium-sized backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and play. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day.
“Charlie had a wonderful stay-cation :) I felt confident with the care and love he received and would definitely like to have Charlie stay again. He cried for Christopher when we drove away which I found really endearing. Thank you!”
“Carl and his wife took great care of our puppy. They are so gentle and calm. Puppy went on walks to the park and played in the house. I feel very comfortable with Carl's family, including his dog, Ollie, who is a huge softie!!”
“Our dog was a bit separation anxiety when we moved to the area one month ago. But he has been super happy at Pissamas’ place and I could go to work without worrying about him. I am very grateful for the care help! 🙏”
“Trishalee was amazing. She saved me in a last minute pinch when I needed someone to watch my senior, deaf, and blind baby. She sent photos and was super kind and flexible. My baby came back happy, calm, tail wagging, relaxed—which says it all. I would absolutely trust her again. Thank you Trishalee!! From me & Mazel :)”
“Robyn is great to work with. She has a lot of knowledge and awareness about dog behavior which immediately put me at ease. Lucy had an awesome time at her house.”
About: My dog is like a part of the family and I will treat all dogs the same as I would my own dog. The dog owners can feel comfortable leaving their dog overnight with a caring and loving person. I'm currently working during the day but my family members are here at home so we can take care of dogs during the week and I'm available on weekends typically with advance notice, preferably 3 days or 1 week before the arrival date. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly dog. The dogs can play in my yard and they can sleep in the living room on the couch or in a crate.
“Nikhila is amazing and we are very happy that we found excellent care for Mika. I would look no further for future day care needs. Nikhila is timely to respond and kept us constantly updated. A sign that Mika had great time was Mika came home happy and feeling not tired. Nikhila was quick to understand our dog’s personality and from the pictures I could tell Mika had great time.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, relatives and clients for years. Our house is their pets’ second home when they travel or need us. I can do the same for you, too. During the weekend I am mostly home. Weekdays, I partially work from office and home. There is plenty of time to spend time with your pet or walk them frequently. My husband works from home full time, so there is always one or two adults at home. We live in a single house with a fenced backyard, and there is a big greenbelt right outside our backyard ( see images). Therefore it’s very convenient for frequent walks or play time for your pet. They can also meet other dogs as well. As a family, we are comfortable with being around furry friends. We volunteer with my daughters at a local farm cleaning, caring, patting…. Love it! Our own cat-Zeytin is very calm and friendly. We love to play, walk, cuddle, spend some quiet time with our pet and guest pets and will do the same with yours, too. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Nevin
“Becky was great! Easy to communicate with and helped watched our high energy corgi for two days. She was flexible with us for drop off and pick up times as our schedules were a bit chaotic. We really appreciated that and the pictures helped alleviate this dog mom’s stress. Will definitely use Becky again in the future.”

Ling & Ming took amazing care of Cherri! We had a meet and greet beforehand since it was Cherris first rover. They have a lovely home with a spacious yard for the dogs to run. She got along really well with Woosha, who was very gentle and friendly. We received so many pictures during the visit. Cherri had so much fun. We’d love to book with them again :)
Megha and Avi’s family took wonderful care of Daisy yesterday! They were patient and respectful of Daisy’s nervousness around other dogs by keeping their dog Barfi near them while giving Daisy time to explore. And true to what they said, Barfi is so sweet natured and goood! He and Daisy had a peaceful day together, Barfi taking the cue that it was enough for Daisy to share the space but not ready to play together. I got so many pictures - Megha is an amazing photographer! - that I was truly put at ease throughout the day. Looks like Daisy got lots of kind attention because she was smiling in several of the pictures and came home in such a happy mood! Communication & Scheduling:100% responsive and clear. Thank you Megha, Avi and family - and of course to Barfi too!
Romeo enjoyed his day with Melissa, Vaughan and Beanie! Melissa was easygoing and caring, she even went above and beyond with extra long walks and potty breaks for him. She sent updates throughout the day, which was appreciated. Beanie’s house was very pet friendly, and Beanie was cute and well-trained as well :) Thank you!
Sandra was absolutely great. She was able to take a last-minute booking and was able to accommodate Teddy even an hour later than I originally expected to be. She was a great communicator always responding very quickly and Teddy had a great time over there. Teddy immediately felt comfortable and he went for a great walk. I will definitely be calling Sandra again.
I've booked multiple times with Christopher this year for day care. It's been great having Christopher watch them. He always makes sure they are well and having fun. I was nervous at first leaving them with a sitter but Christopher makes them feel at home to the point they don't want to leave 😆. Highly recommend and will book again!!
Juliana did a great job watching my dogs, Frenchie and Bonnie, for the day. She even picked them up, which was super helpful. I really appreciated that she was able to walk both of them together—even with one being large and the other a small Frenchie. They were well cared for, and I felt comfortable leaving them with her. I would definitely book with her again!
Eun Jung took in Muffy at last minute for daycare and appreciate her being responsive and giving us regular updates . She worked around our schedules , early drop off and Muffy was super excited seeing her again - always comforting for Pet parents to see that . Thanks for taking care of our little one !
We’ve been bringing Samson for play dates with Nala and occasional boarding, and the experience has been incredible. Samson is high energy and really needed more structured socialization, Nala and Gabriella work as a team and they have been beyond perfect for him. Gabriela is so experienced and accommodating. She sends frequent updates and photos. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and you can tell the dogs are part of the family. The dogs play so nicely together, and my golden comes home happy, tired, and calm every time. He even acts depressed on days we don’t come over because he misses Nala and Gabriela so much. I’m almost hesitant to leave such a good review because I want to keep Gabriela and Nala to myself — but they absolutely deserve it. We’re so grateful to have found them!

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right 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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
