“Amanda and Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of Louie while we were out of town for 5 days. They were great about taking Louie on daily walks and trips to the park, and provided lot updates with photos! They were very understanding when our return flight was delayed, and Amanda even offered to drop him off for free which was a huge help. He was a happy and tired boy when he got home!! Thank you Amanda and Mitchell, we will be back!”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”
“We had a great experience! Katsu looked so happy and relaxed during his stay. I really appreciated the regular check-ins and photos, especially seeing him enjoying walks with other dogs. She was responsive, flexible, and very accommodating throughout the weekend. It was such a relief knowing Katsu was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Paula! ❤️ She took such wonderful care of my dog and treated him with so much love, patience, and attention. I felt comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She was caring, responsible, and attentive to his needs. I’m so grateful for the amazing care she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with my dog again. Highly recommended!”
“Sally is so amazing!! As a new puppy owner and recently gaining a second puppy unexpectedly she was so caring and loving to my puppies. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout their stay. I will definitely be using Sally again for any future needs!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for my own for almost two decades! We adopted our dogs from a shelter, and I trained them myself. I also cared for them through their senior years—our little guy lived to 18, and our big guy to 14. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine, age, and energy level, and can reinforce familiar cues. Hi, I’m Claudia—a former business professional, mom of three, patient advocate, and Certified Health & Life Coach. I love being outdoors and staying active. After recently saying goodbye to our two beloved dogs, I miss having dogs around and am opening our home to a few local families I know and neighbors they refer. As a dog owner who travels, I know how much peace of mind comes from finding care you trust. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can plan neighborhood walks and home boarding around my day. I’ll coordinate timing and your dog’s routine with you in advance to make sure the arrangement works well. Boarding is in our family home with a fenced yard. My children are 7, 10, and 12, and they’ve grown up with dogs, so boarding is best for dogs comfortable around children. I host one dog at a time, or siblings from the same family. I follow your care instructions and walk dogs in my neighborhood.
“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“Peter and his partner ( I am sorry that I can't remember her name) were sooo friendly and welcoming to us and to OSA! She is a big, friendly, rambunctious dog (a happy handful), but they were able to fit her into the pack easily. We were not worried about her while she was staying with them. We got texts and a picture to let us know how things were going. I highly recommend Peter. I also give high praise for taking her in with no notice!!! Thank you, Peter!!!”
“I'm really appreciate Nadine's care for Laila. She seemed really nervous on the first day despite having a meet&greet beforehand. Nadine was patient with her and she sent an update every day and I love seeing that Laila is getting along with her cute poms. My car broke down on my last day of the trip and Nadine was able to extend the booking for another day and dropped her back to our house.”
“Kamila was amazing with our 4 month old GSD puppy! I knew it was going to be a good fit from the moment we did our meet and greet. Buffy immediately took a liking to her and was already feeling at home when we went inside her place. :D She gave us the option to bring Buffy to work with her and she had the best day hanging out and playing with other dogs. At the end of the day she texted to ask if it was okay to give Buffy a bath because of her full day of puppy play and I of course had no objection to that lol. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness and care though in making sure it was okay and also she wanted to make sure Buffy wasn't allergic to shampoo. I didn't even have to ask her to send me updates, she was just on it throughout the day. She is very responsive with texts and calls too. She took Buffy to work with her again on the second day and once again had a full day of fun. When we got home Buffy crated herself and fell asleep for the evening - it was 7pm! She said Buffy is welcome back so we will definitely be returning! Thank you so much, Kamila!”
“Iris gave Griz the sweetest adventures every day — from his neighbor strolls to making a new buddy in Bacon. Her home is safe, warm, and welcoming, and we loved looking forward to the daily pictures she sent. Iris is patient, kind, and so thoughtful. We’re truly grateful for her care and highly recommend her.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my dog Honey and cat Zoey, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I bring not only personal experience but also hands-on training from fostering animals and volunteering at our local animal shelter. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—each with their own personality, quirks, and needs. From energetic pups who need long walks to shy kitties who need patience and a gentle touch, I tailor my care to suit every pet. Whether you’re looking for daily check-ins or dog walks, I provide dependable, loving attention to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering medication and working with pets that need a little extra care or reassurance. Let’s connect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away My current job is only part time, and I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I am available almost every morning and afternoon. I provide fresh food and water at all times, clean litter boxes/ pick up dog poop and make sure to spend some time with each pet and provide enrichment activities.
“Wenxin is super friendly, a total dog lover (she has two rescue dogs who are very friendly and cheerful), and took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent very detailed, fun to read daily reports that chronicled every activity they did indoor and outdoor. Best dog sitter that you can find - no question!”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“First time using Rover and I couldn’t have been happier picking Connie! She’s super friendly, very responsive and sends updates regularly. I will definitely be using her for upcoming vacations. I highly recommend her!”
“Loved letting Plumeria stay with Kushram! Went out of town for 4 days, and they took great care of her. They sent photos every few days for updates on care, and were very kind and reassuring. Will definitely be going back.”
“Biswas was wonderful with our dog, Charlie. He was attentive and caring. He kept us updated while we were out of the country. Appreciate having a sitter like Biswas who is attentive and caring.”

Iris has become such a bright part of Griz’s world. He’s found a best friend in her sweet boy, Bacon, and their daily adventures always make us smile. She sends beautiful pictures and videos every day and is endlessly kind and thoughtful. We’ll continue choosing Iris for as long as we can — she’s truly wonderful.
Paula was absolutely amazing! Communication was easy from start to finish, she was incredibly flexible, and it’s clear she genuinely loves the pups she cares for. She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. 100% recommend Paula to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pup like their own. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾🤎

We had a situation where our other dog sitter became unavailable midway during our trip, and we needed to look for someone to look after our dog with just 2 days notice during the holidays season! Linda responded to our request promptly and even accommodated a quick meet-and-greet for our comfort. During the stay, she sent regular updates, with pics/videos and we could easily see that our dog was quite happy and comfortable around Linda! Thank you so much Linda!

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.
93% of sitters in Benicia 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 Benicia 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 Benicia.
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 Benicia. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Benicia 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.
