“Our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Lisa! She was very sweet with our pup, communication was great, and drop off and pick up were both easy. She was also very flexible and accommodating. We would definitely book with Lisa again!”
“It was my 1st time leaving my dog with anyone.i was to find a sitter the morning I was needing to drop him off that same afternoon she had no problem and was more then I was expecting. they made me feel so comfortable and good about leaving him with Rochelle and her family. When I picked him up he looked so happy and I heard nothing but how much they enjoyed him. I will forsure use them again and recommend them to everyone.”
“Chona was great with our dobie - took him in after a very last minute request, which is so difficult to find lately! She provided lots of photos & updates, which we greatly appreciate. She was also very communicative before & during his stay with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you so much Chona!🐶🤎”
“My pups love spending time with Weilin and QQ! They are so excited when they hear her car drive up they can't wait to jump in! I always know they will be well taken care of!”
“My girl Luna loves other dogs but is nervous around new people. Ronald was very patient with her, and his two dogs got along well with Luna. She was a happy and healthy dog when I picked her up. He also sent pictures of Luna throughout the day, and you can tell she enjoyed herself. Ronald has a big, fenced back yard for dogs to play. Definitely recommend!”
“Completely the best ! I’m on a weekly day care with her and my dog loves her and she is always happy to go there . Super professional and takes care of my baby very well. She comes home tired from all the fun. I have a picture of her knocked out with her treat right next to her . Love how well she takes care of my baby ! Love love love !”
“First time client here. So far so good. My pups, who are a bit nervous around other dogs, made a new friend. I left them with Art for about 3.5 hours and they came home exhausted (they surely had a lot of fun!). I will be planning more dog sitting with Art in the future. He's experienced and gracious!”
“It was the first time using this service both Gerald and Debbie were so welcoming! Chloe was a first time visitor and she made herself right at home. We are looking forward to another visit soon. If we could give a ten star rating we would!!! A huge hug to Baloo for being such a gentle giant with Chloe, I hope the two of them become besties over time!!!”
“Gloria was amazing with our Frenchie puppy Oscar. She was able to accommodate on such short notice. She sent pictures throughout the stay and was responsive via messages. Oscar had a lot of fun and came home exhausted! Will definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with Marley! 🐾 They treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. He even got to go on a car ride (which he loves!), enjoyed a few walks including a bonus third walk! and received so much love and snuggle time from the kids. It was clear he was in heaven the entire time. He came home happy, relaxed, and very calm tonight… which all the doodle moms and dads know is not the usual doodle energy level 😂 I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely book with Jessica and her sweet family again! 💛”
“Susan and Miguel are awesome. Susan understands Maya and her tendencies. She’s very accommodating to Maya’s needs. Maya is getting very comfortable with her family. I’m happy to see she’s making friends.”
“This was our first time booking a doggy daycare with Ryckie, she was so great with our dobie Odyn! She made sure to send updates with photos which is super important to us. He had a blast, & was very well taken care of! 10/10 will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Ryckie!🤎🐶”
“Hortensia was a great sitter for Maya. She took great care of my pup. She was able to get her to eat. That’s a miracle for any sitter, especially on her first visit. Hortensia is super kind and caring. Maya got comfortable and adjusted quickly.”

“It was my grandson’s first birthday and I did not want my small dog and her foot. I had a meet and greet with Joanne and I could tell that she was definitely a dog lover. She came and picked Dolly up at the house and dropped her off at 5 PM, she sent me pictures throughout the day of my dog. Super nice person and a dog lover. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Kristine was very sweet to Maya. She made sure to ask questions first time. She let her warm up to her. Maya was on her lap within 10 minutes. A gate was set up at the door, per our request.”
“Eva was so happy when she got home from Natalies. We were in town for a night while traveling across country and needed a day sitter. Natalie was so great to help on short notice and a holiday. Five stars all the way.”

I’m definitely rebooking with Weilin again in the near future. She sent pictures and updates and I love that she also has other dogs she can hang out with. She understood the needs of a frenchie and that they’re prone to IVDD so she watched her closely. You can tell when people are an animal lover and she is one of them.

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 August 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 632 sitters in August, 87% 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.
