“It was the absolute best experience. Cristal was constantly communicating to give us updates on our pup and what his day looked like. We got pictures every day to see him playing and napping which brought us so much peace of mind. On top of that she was so sweet and gave our dog her own treats because I forgot to pack some for him. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would do so in a heart beat. I don’t think I would feel confortable boarding my pup anywhere else.”
“We felt very reassured that Osler was in capable hands during his stay. Kent is very knowledgeable about pet care and cares a great deal about them. Our dog is older and is timid, but acclimated to Kent’s pack very well. We would not hesitate to have Kent care for Osler for longer periods of time in the future.”
“Punam is incredibly kind and attentive. She keeps you updated with regular video and photo updates throughout the day, ensuring you feel completely comfortable while you’re away from your furry companion. I’m a repeat client and highly recommend Punam for all boarding needs.”
“We are SO appreciative of Tracey for taking our last minute requests to watch our Boogie boy. Both of his stays have been amazing and he comes a happy guy! We love that our pup has a sweet companion like Bentley (Tracey’s dog) when he stays who appears to share all his toys, treats and his family’s love and attention. Being able to relax and not stress when away, knowing Boogie is in good hands, is priceless ! We hope to continue to use her services again and again in the future.”
“Omg!! There are no words to describe how completely wonderful and understanding she was. She had so much patience for my Frida who was extremely anxious and peed on herself. She was super kind and made sure she had a great time. She took care of both of our dogs so well and we are super grateful to her. She gave them their medications and kept me updated every day. Couldn’t be happier with the care they received.”
“Natalie took such good care of my elderly dog. I was away for a week and nervous about leaving her. Natalie is so warm and genuine, it was like leaving her with a friend. When I picked Ginger up, she didn’t want to leave - that’s a really good sign from my timid girl!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Natalie was a absolute lifesaver! As a first-time client, I was nervous about leaving my baby dog; Taz, but Natalie immediately put me at ease with daily updates and photos. I never had to wonder how Taz was doing. I couldn't be more thankful to have found a person who cares about my baby dog like I do.”
“Surgery is the best dogsitter! She was really sweet with my dog and was wonderful about giving him all his medication. Shirley is a great communicator! I received a lot of pictures and videos so I always knew what was going on with my little guy. I highly recommend having her watch your doggo!!”
“Jax seemed to have a wonderful time. Chelsea is great, she sent lots of pics and a video of Jax playing at the park and relaxing at her home. I felt he was in great hands and I will definitely book with her again. She is awesome!?”

“I can't say enough great things about Pratik and Grishma. They made my dog feel like family. They provided constant updates and pictures. They were attentive and communicated effectively. I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks again for taking great care of Tessa.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, adaptable approach and experience with both puppy training basics and senior pet care. I'm reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time and am off during the summers and holidays, which allows me to spend a lot of quality time at home. I am typically out of the house for only 3–4 hours at a time, so pets are not left alone for long periods. I truly love animals and am actively involved with a nonprofit rescue organization, so caring for pets is something I am very passionate about. Their well-being, enrichment, and daily needs would always be a priority in my home. If your dog is not used to being around cats, I do have an in law unit (where my mother in law lives) that I can put the cats in during your dogs stay. This is also the case if I happen to be fostering a cat during the time of your dogs stay. I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as a walking trail close to our house for regular walks and enrichment. Pets receive supervised outdoor time, exercise, play, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Because I am only out of the house for short periods (3–4 hours at most), pets are not left alone for long stretches. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), crate routines, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I provide mental stimulation through toys, basic training reinforcement, and interactive play. I try to maintain their established routines to reduce stress and ensure consistency. Clean water, a tidy feeding area, and lots of love and attention are always part of my standard care.

“Chris was super sweet and reliable with our high energy dog. We brought Oreo’s crate along which ended up being very useful in case new dogs or people were being introduced to him or when he happened to have a case of “happy tail” which he has had before but Chris handled it all so well. Chris sent many pictures and video over the course of the weekend and Oreo enjoyed his time with you. Thank you soooo much!;)”
“Mariah was great with our babies. Her location was easily accessible and clean. Good atmosphere for our fur babies. Checked in regularly and had a great vibe and positive attitude. Thank you for taking care of our fur babies.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arbor
This was our first time boarding our dogs, and we are so grateful for Lauren & Mike. They gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in a safe and caring environment while we were away. Our dogs came home happy and healthy, and we know they received lots of attention and love. We highly recommend them!
Yulan & Gaochuan were incredibly attentive, kind, and treated Maggie like she was their own! Honestly, I feel like we had the very best dog caretakers. They took her on walks, shared lots of photos and videos that kept us updated, and even gave her a bath, which was such a thoughtful surprise. What stood out most was how much they genuinely cared about her. They also have a secure and safe home for pets to stay comfortably. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. They truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust them with Maggie again. Worth every penny! Highly recommend!
Cheri was wonderful to my Beni. It was his first time staying with someone and Cheri made him feel right at home. She cuddled with him and loved him like her own. She kept me updated on how he was doing which put me at ease being away from him. So happy I found her.
Marc did a great job watching our dog, Kingsley. He was very communicative throughout the stay, sent us regular updates and great pictures, and clearly took excellent care of our boy. Kingsley seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We really appreciated the peace of mind Marc provided while we were away. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Dipankar and Nagma have been wonderful! They consistently keep me updated with messages and pictures. I can trust that my dog is in good hands. I’m also glad that their dog gets along so good with mine and they end up playing together all day. I would recommend them for all services.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful with Audie! From the meet & greet through drop-off, her communication was top-notch: she sent regular photo and video updates that made it so easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands. Audie has separation anxiety, but settled in quickly and didn’t howl, which says a lot about how comfortable she made him feel. She handled his dinner meds and evening supplements without missing a beat, and clearly gave him plenty of playtime and attention in her backyard. When our flights got us home very late, Natalie generously offered to keep him one more night rather than do a late drop-off, which was such a thoughtful call and exactly the kind of judgment you want from someone caring for your dog. He came home happy, well-loved, and clearly had a great time. We’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Natalie!
Joel was great! He was very flexible with regard to drop off and pick up times. When we took the dogs over to meet Joel, the dogs took to him immediately. Joel continuously kept us updated on how the dogs were doing and sent us pictures! We appreciate the care he provided for our dogs. I would definitely have our dogs stay with him again in the future.

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 Arbor 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 Arbor.
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.
You and your Arbor 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.
