“Whitney was a perfect first stay with Rover.. She was attentive and caring to my older dog, sending pictures and checking in to see if all was well. Sara definitely had a good stay and will be back again. I am so happy to have found Rover. Thanks!”
“Halley was so nice & communicative throughout Micah's stay (~5 days). They spent plenty of time outside and even went to an event at the beach. When Micah came home he was tired & content. I definitely recommend Halley if you're looking for someone to care for your pet.”
About: I’ve dog sat for about 10 different families over the past 10 years. From small dogs like chihuahuas to large breeds like mastiffs. I also watched the most interesting bengal cat! For many years I babysat children and cared for pets simultaneously. I was raised in an animal loving family, most nights I had a dog at the foot of my bed or a cat underneath it. I understand that pets are family and no one knows your pet like you. I am detail oriented and high energy. I’m am currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt. I am a child development major. I took a step back from my work with early education to finish a few core classes. This makes my schedule quite open! I have a fully fenced yard with an extra high fence. It is mostly grass with small concrete pathway. I am never in school longer than 3 hours. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood.
“I was very nervous to leave my Maltipoo with her because she’s never been with a dog sitter before and she’s very small and has separation anxiety too. But Laila was very good with her and made her feel at ease. I left my Lully with her for 5 hours and she did pretty well. She even played with Laila’s dog which she never plays with other dogs before. I will definitely take her to Laila again whenever I need a sitter.”
“Amanda was a total professional even though Banjo is neurotic. She handled him and sent pictures and confident, positive messages. I would utilize her as a sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“Mary is phenomenal and I felt so good about leaving my two girls with her. She is caring and thoughtful and also kept me updated on everything. I know they were loved on and well taken care of ??”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bayside
Alejandra was so sweet & great with our French bulldog. She was thoughtful with her prep to ensure we & our pup had everything he needed for a comfortable stay. She sent us updates & pictures throughout our dogs stay, communicated consistently, & was so awesome with our dog which was obvious in how he acted around her. The videos she sent made it clear he felt comfortable with her quickly. She learned how to adapt to our dogs needs quickly & clearly understood our dog well with how she talked about him & took care of him. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter or person to care for their fur baby overnight.
Paulina was so nice! Our sweet Ava had never been boarded until now so I was pretty nervous. Paulina was super helpful and understanding. She sent us pictures of her, took her on walks (even though she's a puller), and I felt like she was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch her again, I highly recommend!
Michael was great to work with. Communication was easy and consistent throughout the stay, and I always felt informed about how my dogs were doing. My dogs seemed very comfortable with him and settled in quickly. He also has a nice backyard space where they could safely relax and play. I would happily book with Michael again and recommend him to other pet owners.
I can't recommend Jacquelyn enough! My senior pup was injured just prior to her stay and had to be given medication and be on restricted movement. Jacquelyn asked questions as needed and provided daily updates. The home itself is really calming, which I'm sure Gertie appreciated. Overall great experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 56 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bayside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
100% of sitters in Bayside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Bayside 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 Bayside.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bayside. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bayside 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
