“Jasmine was awesome! I appreciate her working it out to meet Storm and fit us in. Her home is super dog friendly, with room to play and roam. Storm had a great time and lots of fun making new friends. It's nice to know there are great people that will take care of your pets when you need help.”
“Ariana has taken care of my miniature schnauzer many times now. She’s great, always sends me pictures of my baby, has been flexible when I’ve had to make changes to my bookings and has taken care of my dog when she isn’t feeling so well. :)”
“Maggie came home happy and tired from playing all evening. Kathy was quite understanding when we had a bit of an emergency that caused us to return later than expected.”
“I know Allen for sometime now. He and his wife always take great care of Coco! Coco loves to hang out with them and always look forward to seeing Allen, his wife and their dog fufu!”
“Raelena was absolutely wonderful! ❤️ She took care of Zowee on such short notice, and I’m so grateful for her kindness, care, and flexibility. I felt completely comfortable knowing Zowee was in good hands. Thank you so much, Raelena! I will definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our girl had a great time at Jorge’s. She has A LOT of energy and he is so good with her. We really appreciate the flexibility especially when we needed a sitter last minute. Thank you!”
“Daysha is a lifesaver! I came into town from over eight hours away under very stressful circumstances and had never been to the area before. When my pet sitter canceled at the last minute, I decided to bring my almost two-year-old Chinese Crested with me. My mom suggested trying Rover for doggy daycare. It was 9 PM and less than 48 hours before my arrival, but Daysha responded immediately. She was communicative, professional, and instantly put my mind at ease. She happily agreed to care for my pup on short notice, asked thoughtful questions about his routine, diet, and personality, and was incredibly flexible with an early morning drop-off and pickup time. On our way there, we discovered that the nonrefundable hotel I had booked didn’t allow pets. I had been misinformed and immediately panicked. We reached out to Daysha to ask if she could accommodate an overnight stay instead—even though we were still seven hours away and wouldn’t arrive until around 11 PM. She didn’t hesitate for a second and said, “no problem!” My dog sleeps with me every night, and this was our first time apart. I hadn’t planned for him to stay elsewhere, but Daysha was completely prepared and even had a crate available since I hadn’t brought one. She and her adorable chihuahua mix, Harlow, met us outside, and we introduced the dogs on leash first in a neutral space—such a thoughtful and knowledgeable approach. Then we moved to the backyard so they could get more comfortable off-leash. She even invited us inside briefly before I said goodbye, which I really appreciated. I was worried my pup might have a hard time adjusting, especially since he’s used to sleeping with me, but Daysha handled everything with ease. She didn’t force him into the crate (which meant a lot to me), and he ended up sleeping comfortably in the bed I brought. Throughout his stay, I received regular photo and video updates, and Daysha remained consistently communicative. Honestly, I think it was harder on me than it was on my dog! I’m so grateful for this experience—Daysha truly went above and beyond, and I would absolutely trust her again.”
“Upon meeting Mary & Hugh, I felt safe that I was leaving my dog Carter in such great hands. I had addressed my concerns I had about my dog needing to be inside gated areas at all times when outside, and they had showed me their front porch and backyard assuring me that I shouldn’t have anything to worry about as everything was gated! When I came to pick up Carter, he was so exhausted from a fun day playing with all the other doggos. They texted me updates and pictures of Carter throughout his stay. I felt as ease and was able to enjoy my time on the mountain while I was away. Mary & Hugh were so great! Will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“We had to find a dog sitter very last minute and reached out to Lika late at night. She responded quickly and made the whole process incredibly easy. She clearly communicated everything and set up a no-hassle appointment the very next morning. While Bella was with her, Lika was very responsive and even sent us a video of Bella playing with her family and having a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bella was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Lika — reliable, communicative, and truly caring. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs, a cat and numerous other animals. I have taken care of my neighbors pets, friends and families pets whenever they have needed it. It’s always been a fun experience. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a wide-open schedule that can accommodate others pet schedules, all you have to do is send in the request. I have a nice home, all hardwood and vinyl flooring. I currently do not have any pets of my own at this time, which would work well to take care of others pets. I have a big fenced backyard, plenty of room to run around and explore and nice grassy area as well. We have a small child, he’s very curious about all animals, we would love for him to get know your animal too!
“Alicia was lovely. From the first minute she treated Milo very well, answered all my questions and sent me updates. I felt comfortable and calm leaving my Milo with her. She and her family are beautiful people and we will definitely come back again! Thank you very much for such a good experience!”
“Tekandi is our first choice sitter for our baby Zola. He gives exceptional service. He stays in contact with us by sending us pictures while we are away from our baby. He is easy to communicate with. We have already reserved our baby's next stay with him.”
“Moriah was able to take Marlow with short notice during our family crisis. She sent pictures and a video of Marlow having a great time, one less thing for me to worry about. Marlow had a great time running around the yard or resting inside out of he heat. Moriah was very flexible with my husband dropping her off and me picking her up. I would definately book with her again.”
“Chelsea was amazing! I will absolutely be contacting her again for her services. Trustworthy and sent me updates! My boy even got to play with other dogs with her. Thank you Chelsea!!!! :)”
About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from playful puppies to more relaxed or senior dogs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routines, behavior, and comfort. I’m patient, reliable, and good at picking up on small changes in a pet’s mood or needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure each pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to maintain consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I’m home often to provide companionship and supervision. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with three friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. If needed, I can separate or crate my dogs or your pet to ensure a stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and relaxed.
“Our Boba had another great time with Xutao! We received pictures and videos of Boba playing with the other dogs he was sitting and love seeing how much fun all of them were having. When we picked up Boba, we can tell he had a great time and received everything we dropped off with Boba including a washed clean bowl and cleaned out container :)”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Apple Valley Highlands commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 600 sitters in Apple Valley Highlands, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
