About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a Labrador and a cat of my own, and I also regularly help care for my uncle’s 2 Huskies and 2 cats. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of playtime, cuddles, walks, and attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable I’m a full-time college student and I also help with a daycare in the mornings, so my mornings are usually busy. However, I’m flexible with my availability when I have advance notice and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pets get the time and attention they deserve! I’ll treat your pets like my own with patience, care, and lots of love. You can feel comfortable knowing they’re in a safe, calm, and caring environment while you’re away.
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
About: I've spent years caring for and training three dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience has taught me how to adapt to each dog's unique needs, whether they thrive on play and adventure or prefer a calm, predictable environment. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adhering to allergy or dietary protocols. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any changes that may need extra care, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to provide a loving, structured environment where every dog feels comfortable, understood, and treated like family. I work part-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. We spend time relaxing and playing in our fenced backyard, enjoy two daily walks, and, with the owner's permission, can visit the wonderful local Wardlaw Dog Park for safe, supervised socialization and exercise. I tailor each dog's day to their personality, energy level, and routine- whether they love active play, exploring outdoors, or simply staying close by for companionship and cuddles. My house has a fully fenced backyard with two separate outdoor areas, allowing dogs to have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. There's also a private outdoor room where they can relax while still enjoying fresh air. Inside, the first floor is thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind. It includes a dedicated dog area with a cozy dog chair, comfortable beds, a crate (if your dog is crate-trained or prefers one), and plenty of toys to keep them engaged. I maintain a clean environment with a robot vacuum that vacuums and mops the floors twice a day.
About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.
About: As a mommy to 2 fur babies of my own, I know how important these family members are to us. (My Westie passed last year at age 17 and my Golden now is 14 and in great health.) And I know how much I worry about them when I have to leave them home alone. I do not currently work full time but until then, I couldn't think of a better time than to share my passion for dogs in a positive way. I drive a sports wagon and would be also happy to venture to dog parks galore. I do believe that exercise and socialization is important to a happy and harmonious pack... and I would be delighted to help your home be just that by checking in on your doggy. I currently work part-time and want to devote the rest of my time to 4-leggeds and making them happy and healthy. Walking, playing, and socialization. I have a relaxed and welll-behaved Golden senior. She’s happy chilling and watching everyone else’s antics. If I visit homes I wouldn’t likely have her with me unless socialization is a goal.
“Donna has been such a gem. She is very flexible. My Coco has special needs with medication and particular eating habits. Donna took great care of Coco while I was gone. It gave me such piece of mind. We are lucky to have found such a compassionate sitter.”
About: I have been in the animal world since 2017 with my first job being at an animal shelter. In 2024 I graduated from a university to earn my bachelor's degree in canine science to further my knowledge and skill. I absolutely love dogs and all animals; I treat them with the same respect I would another person. I specialize in reward based training (positive reinforcement), dog body language, and behavior. Dog training should be fun for you and the dog. Positive reinforcement is the best way to train because it helps build better bonds between the pet parent and the dog, as well as teach important behaviors and discourage and substitute unwanted behaviors. In my care, your dog(s) will be treated as a part of the family. My main goal is to keep your pup(s) happy, calm, exercised; this should feel like their home away from home. I currently am working home full time for the business, from dog training to grooming to walking to daycare & boarding, we are here for you! There will always be someone here to keep an eye on your pup(s), when I leave my partner is here to help out. We are open everyday. The pups are always treated like my own. When staying over, they keep company with me and my dogs. We are always watching the dogs and making sure they are safe and comfortable. If I am going to your place I will always treat your place with respect.
“Juli was am amazing pet sitter for my dog, Noelani. Her home environment was nurturing and peaceful for my little one with a lot of anxiety. Juli has such a mellow soul as well. Juli’s dog, Gigi, had such a calm temperament too when interacting with my dog. I love that she sent me photos and updates about how Noelani was doing. I highly recommend Juli. If I need a dog sitter again, I’ll book with her.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Sant made the entire experience so easy and stress-free! Before boarding Lumo for 10 days, we had an initial meet-and-greet where Sant walked me through where Lumo would be staying, playing, and spending his time. Being able to see the environment beforehand gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel comfortable leaving Lumo in Sant’s care. Throughout the stay, Sant consistently sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions, knowing Sant was equally proactive in keeping me updated. Since this was Lumo’s first time staying with Sant, communication was especially important in making the experience a success, and Sant absolutely delivered. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! I’m so grateful to have found Sant and plan to continue using him as my go-to boarding sitter for Lumo. I highly recommend Sant to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring person to look after their dog!”
“Malia has been such a reliable and capable sitter for our husky. It’s a relief to have someone you can count on when you’re out of town! Our dog is excited to see her and always returns to us a happy girl.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for my own for almost two decades! We adopted our dogs from a shelter, and I trained them myself. I also cared for them through their senior years—our little guy lived to 18, and our big guy to 14. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, age, and energy level, and can reinforce familiar cues. Hi, I’m Claudia—a former business professional, mom of three, patient advocate, and Certified Health & Life Coach. I love being outdoors and staying active. After recently saying goodbye to our two beloved dogs, I miss having dogs around and am opening our home to a few local families I know and neighbors they refer. As a dog owner who travels, I know how much peace of mind comes from finding care you trust. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can plan neighborhood walks and home boarding around my day. I’ll coordinate timing and your dog’s routine with you in advance to make sure the arrangement works well. Boarding is in our family home with a fenced yard. My children are 7, 10, and 12, and they’ve grown up with dogs, so boarding is best for dogs comfortable around children. I host one dog at a time, or siblings from the same family. I follow your care instructions and walk dogs in my neighborhood.
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. I have 11 years of pet care experience, along with 2 years of professional pet care experience through a boutique pet care company. During that time, I received training in pet care, first aid, and canine CPR, and gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. My soul-dog, Buster, was by my side for 11 wonderful years before sadly passing away in 2025. I’ve missed having that special furry companionship in my life ever since, and caring for dogs is something that brings me so much joy. I’m excited to provide the same love, patience, and attentive care to your pets that I’ve always given my own. I'm currently working towards my Masters Degree in Social Work, which is fully remote, meaning I am home 7 days a week to take care of your pet. I take pride in providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My apartment is very pet-friendly, with plenty of nearby flat, open green space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’m meticulous about keeping food and water bowls clean and ensuring pets always have fresh water. I’m also very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions and routines, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, including dogs who may experience anxiety.
“Love this lady. I feel instant connection and so my puppy. She was extremely nice and make sure we see our puppy everyday that we were gone which makes the kids happy . Her price is also reasonable. I have found a friend”
“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”

Jennifer was wonderful and so attentive with our dog, she communicated with us about how Bella was doing along with pictures! Bella was so happy and was very comfortable with Jennifer within the first few minutes. She is trustworthy and very loving. Jennifer was such a blessing to us and Bella! We highly recommend Jennifer and will be using her for our future pet-sitting needs.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Claire! She took exceptional care of our golden doodle, Roux, and treated her like family from the moment we dropped her off. Claire sent daily updates—complete with amazing photos that could honestly pass as professional pet portraits! It was such a relief knowing Roux was not only safe but genuinely happy. Claire was incredibly accommodating and attentive to Roux’s needs, making sure she stayed comfortable, engaged, and loved throughout her stay. When we picked Roux up, she came home smiling from floppy ear to floppy ear—proof of just how well she was cared for. We’re so grateful to have found Claire and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and all-around wonderful dog sitter. Thank you, Claire! 🐾💛

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.
93% of sitters in American Canyon 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 American Canyon 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 American Canyon.
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 American Canyon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 American Canyon 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.
