“Michelle was a fantastic host. She was very friendly, communicative, and accommodating. My wife and I could tell that our pup was well treated and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Michelle, or rebook with her!”
“So happy we found Sharon and her husband! They loved and treated our dog as their own! Super warm and welcoming. Got cute pic updates too! 100% hope to book with them again in the picture.”
“This was my dog Penny's second stay with Sara and everything went well, as expected. Penny was happy, healthy, and very well exercised having other rowdy pups to play with during her two week visit. I'll use Sara again!”
“Sara's is the perfect place for our dog, Maggie. There's lots of open space and fresh air, a lovely pond and a great covered patio where she can be outdoors and supervised. We previously had experience with a dog sitter who took in a large number of dogs at the same time as Maggie, and Maggie reacted negatively to that situation. We sincerely appreciate the fact that Sara is willing to limit Maggie's visit to just Maggie and Sara's own sweet dog. Maggie gets lots of walks, lots of love and attention, and comes home happy. We will continue to use Sara as our go-to, favorite dog sitter!”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“I’m extremely happy with my dog sitting experience for my dog, Princess. Sophia took excellent care of her and sent me daily pictures of her. This was my first time leaving my baby in a stranger’s care. Sophia was very responsive from the first contact online. She reassured me that Princess would be cared for and loved. She was not wrong. We visited for about 15 minutes when I dropped her off and she put me at ease. I would definitely use Sophia again and highly recommend her.”
About: *** We plan our day around your drop off/ pick ups. PLEASE COMMUNICATE with us if you will be late or if plans change so we are able to continue with our day. Mochi loves new friends and can’t wait for your stay. Please let Mochi’s parents know ANYTHING IMPORTANT about your pup. Social anxiety? Food or toy aggressive? Table surfer? Sensitive tummy? Loves to run away? Give them a heads up so everyone can have a safe and fun visit! Our family has been on Rover since 2015. By 2017 we had to close our calendars to new guests because we were kept extremely busy with our local repeat guests, something for which we’re super grateful! We’re opening up our calendars again because we’ve recently moved to Cameron Park and can’t wait for Mochi to make new friends! We work from home most days so we have plenty of time for guests. Evenings get busier with coaching and after school sports so pups that are comfortable with staying home for a few hours will fit best with our family. Our back yard is 95 percent fenced in and the rest is blocked off with an accordion gate. They have a little over half an acre to run and play. In the house they have full range of the home with plenty of extra dog beds and extra dog bowls. Beds and couches are not off limits! We have one large crate if guests need it; pups are not crated unless requested.
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Jenn and her family provided great care for my GSP. He returned smiling and ecstatic! Jenn is very experienced with dogs and has her space is well thought out to accommodate different dogs.”
“Alexa is the best dog sitter you could possibly find. I get feedback photos of my dog enjoying her stay every day. She goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients and my dog loves her so much. In fact, I think my dog is very sad today because Alexa is not here.”
“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”
“Amy and Justin took care of fur baby while we were away. They took a great care of Snoopy. Felt him comfortable, teach new game , provided daily updates and answering promptly for every queries we had while we were away. I will highly recommend to Amy and Justin. Thanks Amy and Justin for taking care of Snoopy”
“Patti and her husband took great care of my puppy! I was updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt at ease knowing Tilly was in such safe and caring hands❤️”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
Once again, Sara and Jake were lifesavers when it came to watching my dog when I went out of town on short notice. I have a big, bouncey, energetic boy who can sometimes be a lot to deal with, but Sara’s calm, confident, and highly competent disposition always makes me feel so at ease about leaving my pup with her. She’s also amazing about communicating and sending little updates and photos, which makes me feel even better about sending my doggo off to have a fun getaway. Sara is top of my go-to list for sitters and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a sweet, fun, safe, and highly capable caregiver for their pet!
I was so happy to find a place I can take my young dog Reykur to. Michelle's house is very lovely and there is a large fenced in area for the dogs to explore and run. There are only four dogs boarded at a time, two of which are owned by Michelle, which is ideal. The dogs can wander around the house and even sleep on the bed. I could tell Reykur was very happy and I felt very comfortable to leave him there when I went on my five day vacation. That was the first time I left him alone. I will certainly take him back the next time I am out of town. He is a small dog with lots of energy which did not seem to bother Michelle or her husband at all. That was another big plus.

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 Apex 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 Apex.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Apex 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.
