“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”

“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“Kyle was a wonderful host for our dog, Teddy! Since it was Teddy's first time staying with someone else, we were understandably nervous. A few days before our trip, Kyle welcomed us to his home so Teddy could meet him and we could go over any questions we had. During our trip, Kyle kept us updated with pictures and regular messages, which really helped ease our anxiety. He always responded to our messages in a timely manner, and it was clear Teddy was in great hands. We are so grateful for the excellent care Kyle provided and will definitely ask him to watch Teddy again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Allison has been an absolute blessing! She took care of our Max (our golden doodle) while we were on our vacation .She was prompt, reliable, trustworthy and was updating us with Max’s photos on a daily basis which was always comforting. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind hearted dog sitter. Thank you Allison !!!!”

“Morgan was SO much more than expected! She absolutely goes “The extra mile “ to ensure a safe, happy, fun-filled stay for the pups. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for that special someone to care for your pup when you need them. Morgan absolutely exceeded my greatest expectations! I hope I’m able to book with her again soon. My pup came home perfectly content. She almost didn’t even want to come home!! Thank you so very much Morgan 💗💗💗”


“I cant tell you the amount of relief I had booking Amy to care of baahu. I did a trail run for a day which went fine, but this time it was 37 days and she did ahmazing for all 37 days. I have been using rover for more then 4 years and evrytime I book stays that are more then 10 days, I bet to you that I have had bad experience evry single time, either they stop sending updates as days passes or start complaining of dogs behavior etc etc. And evrytime my trip runs with so much pressure as to how to deal with my dog and the dog sitter. BUT WITH AMY, my experience is totally different, she updated me with daily updates, sent photos evryday!! During my trip I could peacefully enjoy knowing that baahu was in safe hands. He was well maintained and clean. Guys trust her, she is definitely a dedicated dog lover. Thanks Amy for making my trip most amazing one by taking care of my fur baby. ❤️”

“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!

Ready to love your furry family member I offer a safe, reliable home away from home where your pet will fit seamlessly into a structured daily routine. While I work full-time, my days are anchored around dedicated "power hours" before and after work for long, brisk walks, secured backyard play, and fresh meals, ensuring dogs are content and relaxed. I provide a calm and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest.
“Kristin and Javier took such amazing care of our pup Peter Barker. He absolutely loved Watson and every minute of his time on his vacation. They were great to send us lots of updates and adorable photos. We truly were scared to leave Peter but knew he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them for any sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”

“Nikita took excellent care of Sadie, our golden doodle! It didn't take her long at all to adopt Nikita as her substitute "Mom" 🤩 We had never left Sadie, and we were nervous, but I was immediately put at ease when we first met her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, and even some videos throughout the stay. Her place is very well maintained and clean. I will definitely use her in the future! Thank you Nikita!”


“Sandra and her family were absolutely wonderful with my pup! I was so nervous because he is full of energy and a big boy, but they loved each other! I received photos and updates throughout the weekend. Will definitely be using her in the future! :)”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with several dogs and caring for cats for as long as I can remember. This lifelong experience has taught me how to recognize different pet personalities and meet their unique needs, whether that means playful energy for younger pets or calm patience for older companions. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering lots of love and attention, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their people are away. I’m currently in grad school and interning part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Spending time with fur babies is honestly the best break from schoolwork—it helps me recharge and brings so much joy to my day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping pets company, I love making pet care part of my weekly routine. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or cuddles—so they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I always keep things tidy, refresh water bowls, and make sure litter boxes or potty breaks are taken care of. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and play, along with a cozy place to rest. I keep the environment safe and pet-friendly, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions to make sure your furry friend feels right at home.

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 Ballico 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 Ballico.
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 Ballico 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.
