“I'm so thankful we found Veronica on Rover.com. She took excellent care of our elderly cocker spaniel. She was very patient with his medical issues and was willing to administer his medication each day. Veronica sent photos and updates while we were gone. We loved seeing how our boy was doing. I highly recommend her dog sitting services.”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”
“Manuel was great. He sent pictures of our Bella and was quick to reply when checked in on her. We ran three hours late due to delays and traffic from our trip and Manuel was kind and accommodating.. will definitely recommend and use them again”
“Laurel cared for our two dogs, and everything went great. She's very good at sending pictures and videos, so you know your babies are well cared for. Her house and yard feel very secure, as far as dogs getting out of the yard. I highly recommend Laurel and will hopefully use her again.”
“Cassidy was amazing! I received pictures of Cloud every day and updates. They even allowed him on furniture, which was important for my cuddle bug. Their other dogs and Cloud had a really fun time, and even met their cat. Surprisingly Cloud was reportedly great with the cat. Now that I have him home he is just chilling right next to me fighting a nap because he had so much fun”
“5 stars isn't a high enough review for Kiana and her family! They did such an amazing job with Toby. We got so many pictures and videos throughout the whole visit and everytime it looked like he was so comfortable with them and having fun. I couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been a dog mom most of my life. More recently I’ve worked with a rescue and have experience fostering dogs . All 3 of my dogs are rescues and they are all very different so I’ve learned that they all their own individualized plan I currently work full time so I am available most weekends for boarding. Sometimes I’m off over the summer so my availability opens up then I have a really big fenced yard and a cozy pet friendly home. I have 3 small dogs who I love very much. My heeler mix is a bit fear aggressive towards new people and large dogs but he is obedient and I am working on socializing him more and I know exactly to manage. I’ve fostered a variety of dogs the last year and he just needs time to warm up to new dogs and people. My other 2 are terrier mixes and have been socialized since they were pups.
About: I don’t have much years of experience of dog sitting but I can insure you that the best care will be given to your pet! I had a few family dogs growing up but it does not compare to having your own. I got my first ever pet last year and he is truly my baby. Rex is his name, he just turned one year old on September 12th. He’s still a puppy in my eyes lol. I have taken him everywhere I can with me, the mall, the beach, hiking, restaurants, family gatherings, etc! A pet is a life time commitment so I try my best to bring him everywhere with me. I have taught him some on command training since he was a puppy such as sit, paw, down, spin, drop it and stay. He’s not very good at “come here” since he has selective hearing lol. I have recently been touched by all the animal shelters that suffer being locked up for a long time. That is why I decided to save a dog from my local shelter. Hugo is my second baby! He is the sweetest dog there very is. He does not know what a toy is even though I try to introduce them to him, all he wants is love and attention. I barely adopted him on September 29th so we’re still in the learning process of on command training but he is very good with dogs and humans. Both Rex and Hugo show the biggest love. Seeing them every morning and every evening after work really spark up my day. There are a few days throughout the week where I go home for lunch to play with my dogs. I am very grateful to have a job close to my home that allows me to check up on my pets. When I don’t go home during my lunch time I check up on my pets through a camera I set up for them. This gives me some piece of mind. My love for dogs is so big that I hope to open a rescue soon. I work throughout the weekdays but I can drop in before 8 am or after 6 pm for a quick visit! My Saturdays and Sundays are always free so I am available for boarding and day care for those days! I have two dogs, one Golden Retriever and one Siberian Husky. They are big breeds but they are very friendly! They just love to play and play! Your pet will be indoor most of the time with the exception of potty time and play time. I do have a fenced front and backyard. The front yard and backyard are separated but small breeds will not be in the front yard since the fence barrels are very separate from eachother and I fear a small breed can easily fit through there. Play time would have to be in the back yard with my pets. I also have a 3 foot tall dog fence I can use, if you do not feel comfortable having your pet around mine. There are many water stations around the house, a small pool for them, enough toys, and even a dog house with a padded dog bed.
“Lolita was so great. Not only was she very good with my frenchies, but she sent pictures & videos daily. She was always available when I needed to ask any questions. I would definitely book her again. I was very impressed and touched also by how talented she is. She took the time to draw a picture of my babies. I love it so much. My babies took to her right away. Thank you Lolita 💙🩷💙Spencer Elly & Coop”

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 Auckland home-away-from-home, 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 Auckland.
<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 Auckland 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 , 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 .
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.
