“Qing was wonderful with our Truck. He is a bit nervous about new places and people but he did GREAT!! Typically, even though I take him his supper he does not eat it. At Qing's he actually ate his entire dinner - this means that he was super relaxed!! She sent many photos of Truck. He was actually smiling in a couple of them. We will definitely use her again if we have need.”
“Armando was great. He sent pictures throughout the day, which was really nice. It was our first time having someone care for our pup, and we were happy with the experience.”
“This was Bailey's first daycare with Sunny and we are so thrilled to have found her!! She has a ton of experience and a true love for the puppies in her care. Her house is set up to provide a safe, comfy and fun environment for the dogs in her care. She is extremely easy to work with and made us feel at ease leaving Bailey. And she sent the cutest pictures and great updates. Thank you so much Sunny!!!”
“My goldendoodle had the best time with Sandra and her family! My baby is a very shy guy and he thrived in the care of Sandra. He had so much fun and it was really comforting being updated throughout the day with pictures and videos! Will definitely be booking with Sandra again :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We had 3 dogs, unfortunately they all passed due to old age recently. We would love having your dog as part of our family while the visit. I treat them like my own kid, lots of play, cuddle, balls and going on nice walks. Dogs have been a big part of how I describe who I am, I also rescue dogs and help them find loving forever homes. We have a huge fenced yard and leave close to a park, we love to go on walks and stay active. I currently work part-time so I have the ability to mindfully attend to your fur baby. I am also a very organized person and send updated timely with photos. I have a super large fenced large and lots of tennis balls (left overs from my dogs who passed last year). I also have a park 5 min from my house.
About: I have a deep love for animals, namely dogs and cats. I've been off work lately but unable to have a full-time pet where I live. I also love exercise; I walk but always prefer to walk a dog. When my friends or relatives leave, I sometimes miss their dog more than them! I live close to Dog Beach but if that's a problem for you dog I have a wonderful neighborhood to walk in! I have a large balcony with astro turf. I am home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I'm almost always available to care for your pet. I do not plan on going back to work. I don't have a fenced yard but large balcony with astroturf covering. I live near dog beach, or I have a wonderful neighborhood where lots of people walk their dogs. Dogs & cats welcome in my house. Bringing their bed would be nice, if possible, otherwise, I have blankets, pillows etc.. Would be glad to come to your home as well.
“Lea was very professional and constantly sending me pics throughout the day of what my dog was doing. She is an amazing option for doggy day care and has a loving dog herself that played with my dog the whole day. I will 100% be sending My dog back to stay with her in the future again.”
“When our pet, Rico, is happy, we are happy. Rico is timid and avoids other dogs. Every time we have used Rover, he has fit in nicely with other dogs present. Thank you, Traci. Your chihuahuas have given Rico new amigos and I think I heard him bark in Spanish.”
“Pups loved Shelbie! Our 1st time using Rover and our experience with Shelbie was great! Appreciated the photos throughout the day. Pups were happy campers! Thanks Shelbie!”
“Jessica is an absolute angel. I was in a bit of a pickle and I went on Rover and asked if she could please pick up my dog and watch him for a few hours. He was so happy he had a good time she came promptly and was so kind and helpful and I cannot thank her enough. We will forever use Jessica.”
About: I’ve taken care of primarily neighbors dogs, as well as one cat. One of the dogs I cared for lived to be almost 21 years old. I work part time, so I am usually able to fit dog and cat sitting into my schedule, and can watch them for up to a month. I have usually watched pets in my own home, though one of my most recent clients has had me watch her dog in her own home. My dog is usually friendly toward other dogs, and my cat is friendly as well.
“Layla was very accommadting to our time and Maddie's specific needs as a young partially vaccinated puppy. Maddie got to play with Layla's older lab Jack and came home tired from a long day of play! Would definitely trust Layla with my baby again, I felt better leaving her while I was at work because I got pictures and videos throughout the day of Maddie my pup.”
“Nicole was phenomenal! Kind and knowledgeable. She sent pictures and videos of my pup, Chip and hers, Wilson - as they played all day! We will definitely be back for more daycare play dates!”

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.
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 Avalon 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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
