“Great sitter. We were a bit nervous at first cuz our dog has some bad tendencies but she was great at controlling his leash aggression and kept us updated the whole time. Really great experience overall!”

“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job boarding Tali for 2 weeks. She always responded to my texts very promptly and was flexible with my changing plans which really made a difference. Everything about her was trustworthy. And most importantly she clearly loved Tali and took great care of her which made my trip worry free. Tali was calm and happy and fully herself when I picked her up and in the days after. I would board her again with Elizabeth without any hesitation!!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have a 19-year-old Sulcata tortoise and a dwarf hamster, and I previously had two cats of my own. I’ve also done dog walking and pet sitting for two large Golden doodles, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I am responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will help with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also keep your home and any areas I use clean, so everything is in order when you get home. I’ll send photo updates throughout my visits so you know how your pet is doing! I work as an on-call nurse, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work pet sitting and dog walking into my week and am happy to coordinate with you to find a time that works! When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll walk and play with dogs, and keep cats fed with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and will give them lots of company. I’ll keep your home clean and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.”

“I left my dog with Yvette and John for two weeks this time. From the first time he stayed there, it was clear he just adores them. They are so super sweet with him. Their calm energy settles his anxious tendencies. I'm with my dog a lot at home and we sleep in the same room, so I was a little nervous about their setup. But it all worked out great! They took him for a lot of walks in different places and tired him out. He always looked so calm and content - they sent me pics daily! He was in no hurry to leave when I picked him up. It was just the best feeling to go on vacation and not worry about him for a second. I'm so glad I found them to take care of my sensitive pup.”

About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.

Val shares with you her Rover Instagram account and you are able to see all the fun your pup is having while in her care. I would definitely recommend her to any of my close friends, she provides PREMIUM services! Again thank you so much Val!”

Tamara was responsive to our inquiry when we contacted her. She suggested a meet and greet, which really helped when deciding where to leave our girl Mimi. Mimi seemed very comfortable and relaxed, always a good sign! Tamara gave us updates and pictures daily. We really appreciated her communications. It helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Mimi was being cared for. Plus I think Mimi made a couple new friends.Thank you, Tamara!

Jessica was great in every way as a pet sitter! I had no concerns; my two dogs were well cared for by her. She is very kind and nice, and was easy to communicate with, and always professional. Her home is lovely, and safe, and ideal for caring for pets. It is also convenient as a drop off location- right near the highway. She sent updates regularly, and took them for walks. Both my dogs seemed happy and calm when I picked them up. It was a wonderful experience. I highly Jessica.

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 Bel Marin Keys 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 Bel Marin Keys.

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 Bel Marin Keys 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.
