“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
“Pam was so great. She took care of our 12 week old puppy, Jackson and he had a great time. He absolutely loved Pam and was completely at home. She was great with him and got him out to socialize as well. Thank you Pam!!!”
“Ruby watched my pup while I was away and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure my boy felt comfortable and safe in my absence. Throughout the time I was away,, Ruby provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which made me feel at ease and reassured that my pet was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will certainly be booking again for my next trip!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful and loving care of our Noah 😃🙏🏻 he’s not the easiest puppy to care for, but they did a fantastic job caring for him and made sure he was happy and healthy throughout his stay. They sent thorough updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was greatly appreciated. I would love to book them again in the future and would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for making Noah’s experience a wonderful one!”
“We were gone for 2 weeks. George and Malia took great care of our girl while we were gone. They sporadically sent sweet photos and videos of our pup so we didn’t miss her too much. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“With our permission, mine took knomi to the beach, as usual, she had a blast, he kept us up to date and laughing with great photos and storyline. Some times I wish I was being taken care of by Mike because I think my dog leads a more exciting life that I do while we are away, thank you again Mike!”
“Amy and Justin were amazing with Daisy! They were incredibly flexible and were able to take her a day earlier than originally planned, which we really appreciated. This was Daisy’s first stay with them after a meet-and-greet, and she had the best time and she came home completely worn out from all the fun! They sent photos and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so happy we found them, and Daisy is already booked for a longer stay this summer. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Gregory was absolutely amazing with my dog. He kept me well informed of how my dog was doing throughout the visit and provided me photos that reassured me that my dog was happy and having a great time. Gregory was also very mindful of my dogs special needs and always took those into consideration while he was watching him. I will definitely be boarding my pup with him again. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I’m grateful to have found such an amazing and caring Dog Sitter.”
“This was my first time using a sittter and I’m so glad it was with Sohui. My Pomeranian Mercedes had a great time and Sohui made me feel at ease with pictures she sent me of Mercedes having fun. She took great care of my little one and was very professional. Would definitely recommend.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“Excellent dog care and overnight boarding. We were in the Grass Valley for one night and needed to board our Corgi and plan to return when we are back in the area.”

“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applegate
Emily and her husband were great. I ended up stuck in Reno due to a fire and them closing I-80 so I texted Emily and explained my situation and Emily was great she had no problems keeping Bo for another day. She sent me pics and videos of Bo having a great time at her house with her dogs. I was afraid Bo wouldnt want to come home with me cuz he was having such a good time. Which wasn't the case Bo was happy to see me when I picked him up, but im sure he is going to miss Emily and her family.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Applegate 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 Applegate 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 Applegate.
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 Applegate. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Applegate 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.
