Kimchi seemed to do very well and was clearly comfortable with her. Amanda sent me daily pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. She’s very familiar with dogs, and I felt completely secure leaving Kimchi in her care. I highly recommend Amanda if you’re in the area!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. Great communication, knowledgeable, and overall a great person. She made me feel very comfortable with my decision from the get go and she asked many questions to make sure she knew everything about how we take care of our 4 month old puppy Nova. She helped us maintain training with Nova and gave great advice and tips to make the our training journey smoother. She sent many videos and pictures while we were gone.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up helping care for many pets and am comfortable with different needs, personalities, and routines. I have a 5-year-old Pomsky named Bailey (half Husky, half Pomeranian) who is my best friend.I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I’m a recent nursing graduate with more free time. I already go on daily walks and love taking dogs on hikes or to the park. I enjoy bonding with animals and can be flexible to meet each pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog who gets along well with others. I give pets lots of attention, playtime, and stick to their routine. I can take them on walks or just watch them while you’re away!
“Great communication. Sent updates regularly! He was loved and cared for while I was away. With him being a geriatric pup, I always get worried about the care extended but had no worries. Highly recommend!”
“Vanja was amazing and my Bentley was so comfortable that she ate her kibble. Bentley never eats with the sitter until she cannot take it any longer, which is about three days. On a three day trip, she ate after the first day which is unheard of. Vanja created a wonderful space for her to feel comfortable and enjoy. Vanja is kind, patient and a true professional, we would love to use her again.”

Rachel was amazing! When my pup met her, he didn’t even look back to say goodbye to me, he just ran straight into Rachel's house like he already knew he was in good hands. Rachel took the time to video call with us beforehand since we were traveling to the area, which I really appreciated. She answered all my questions, kept me updated with sweet photos and messages, and had great communication throughout the stay. I felt at ease knowing my puppy was with her. Highly recommend and would book again!

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.

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.
98% of sitters in Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley.
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 Apple Valley. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Apple Valley 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.
