“Stephanie is outstanding in caring for my dogs. They go for walks, car rides and are loved and cared for. In fact the dogs (which had not seen Stephanie in months) ran up to the house when we delivered them. We are overwhelmingly pleased with her services.”
“Monique had a very dog friendly house! She seemed really kind and like true pet lover. I have never left my dogs with someone that wasn’t family so I was nervous but after meeting her I felt comfortable knowing they’d be in good hands. While we were away she sent pictures and was great with communication! I was able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing my fur babies were happy!”
“Jennifer & Julie took excellent care of Zoey. She had a great time at their place, so much so that she didn’t seem that excited to see us! They updated us regularly on how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Zoey will be visiting again soon.”
About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats (and other types of pets) over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. Although I will keep your house as tidy as possible if I am House Sitting for you. I live in Santa Maria, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara or San Luis Counties depending on the day(s). I would consider traveling further on the weekends if I am able. I am a responsible & trustworthy person, who genuinely enjoys caring for others. I work from home on Mon & Fri, so I am only unavailable during the day on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I am able to care for animals in the morning before I leave for work and every evening. I recently lost my dog at the ripe old age of 17, I used to walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. I work in conjunction with my partner who is home during the day, so if there is a need for more exercise, feedings or medication during the day, we can facilitate that. I enjoy the company of animals, so they would be included in everything I do, as much as possible. I used to take my dog everywhere with me. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a is fenced in yard with a locked gate.
“Danielle was amazing - we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She cared for our high-needs dog so well and went above and beyond. She never once seemed bothered by our dog’s needs around medications. She cleaned her eye goop and washed the blankets before we picked up our dog. Danielle even let our dog sleep in her bed - I’m sure our dog misses her! Danielle was communicative and reliable. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We will be returning, Louis was absolutely amazing with Terror. From the minute we showed up Terror was so comfortable with him, Louis sent photos of him during the stay and took him on a much needed walk. I was so nervous leaving Terror but all of that went away when I met Louis. Terror stayed for a couple of hours while we celebrated my parents anniversary. Thank you again Louis!!!!!”
“Omg! Tami is a gem! I found the perfect sitter. I went through all the local profiles and carfully selected who i found to be the perfect match for my dog. Her home is lovely and my Addie girl was spoiled rotten! Tami sent me several pictures and kept me updated. I look forward to using her again. ❤ Thank you Tami!”
“Sarah is a Fantastic sitter! Great communication, kind, friendly, helpful, professional, and intuitive to our dogs/our needs. We couldn't be happier with her care and service... will book again!”
“Shannon treated my pup so well! My dog can be nervous in new situations but she quickly felt right at home! Shannon was easy to work with when I needed to adjust my pick-up time. I will definitely book with Shannon again next time I am in the area.”
“Kara is a gem! I hope that she’s open to taking our dogs because I felt 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She was very approachable, easy to communicate with and sent us pictures and updates.”
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Matt and his pup Dewey were great! This was Oakley’s first boarding experience and Matt made sure to make her feel at home and us feel at ease leaving her. It’s clear he’s a great pet Dad! Oakley had so much fun being able to run around the yard and play with Dewey. We’d definitely use Matt in the future.”
“Leaving Harmony with someone new was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done. She has never stayed with a stranger before, and I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for nine days while I traveled to Orlando for my nephew’s graduation. From the very beginning, Sandra was kind, communicative, and reassuring. A few days into my trip, Harmony became very sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and accidents in Sandra’s apartment, including blood in her stool. I felt terrible that Harmony was sick and also horrible that Sandra was having to deal with such a stressful situation in her home. What stood out to me was Sandra’s level of care and compassion. She never made me feel like Harmony was a burden. Instead, she immediately went to the store to get pumpkin to help settle her stomach, kept me updated constantly, and when things worsened, she let me know she believed Harmony needed to see a vet. Sandra took Harmony to the vet herself, called me from the appointment, and even put me on speakerphone so I could speak directly with the veterinarian and be part of the conversation every step of the way. Multiple times I asked Sandra if she thought I needed to come home early, and she told me she would absolutely tell me if she felt that was necessary. Because of Sandra, I was able to stay and watch my nephew graduate knowing Harmony was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while I was away. Not once did I question whether Harmony was receiving the best care possible. I came home today to a well cared for dog, and I truly cannot thank Sandra enough. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and handle even difficult situations with patience, compassion, and professionalism, book Sandra. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

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.
95% of sitters in Betteravia 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 Betteravia 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 Betteravia.
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 Betteravia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Betteravia 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.
