About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love being around them. I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pup like my own! I work during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully when I’m boarding a dog, so there’s plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attention. I have a fenced yard where your pup can safely play and relax. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while staying with me.
“We had to leave our puppy with Eric for almost 10 days and he took good care of him. He frequently sent video updates and replied to my queries right away. Eric is very good with dogs and I could see how my baby was cared for.”

“They took excellent care of Pippi and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. I got regular updates, and it was clear Pippi was in great hands. Pippi came home relaxed — I could tell he was well-loved while I was away. I’d definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Just completed my first Rover booking since moving to California, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ashley took amazing care of my fur baby, Parker, while I was away. As a dog mom, I was definitely nervous leaving him for the first time, but she made the entire process so much easier by sending regular updates and photos to reassure me he was doing great. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she watches. She even left a sweet little note in Parker’s bag thanking me for trusting her with him, which was such a thoughtful touch. I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed, and I will absolutely keep her in mind for future bookings. Highly recommend!”
“Phyllis was an amazing sitter for Trixie and Ginger! She had great communication from start to finish, keeping me updated and making the whole process seamless. She was so welcoming, and I could tell my dogs felt comfortable and well cared for. They truly enjoyed their stay! I highly recommend Phyllis and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”
“Frank was fabulous! He sent us updates and pictures of Stella each day of our trip. He took great care of her. We really appreciated the care he took. Hand off and pick up were a breeze. We can’t wait to be repeat clients, knowing that our girl is comfortable and having fun when she can’t travel with us.”
“Julie is my go to now! Great communication, so flexible, and kind. I’m at peace knowing my baby is in safe hands when I’m away. Plus, she has a cute Yorkie that gets along great with my dog. I’m glad my dog could socialize while I’m away.”

“She was great with my senior dog, Nano. She truly cares and was very attentive. Nano needed daily medication, and she sent me pictures along with updates on how he was doing every day. I would definitely leave my dog with her again and highly recommend her services.”
“Aimee was super cool with my little fur baby. She was so helpful as I was newly caring for a 5 week old kitten I found and rescued two weeks before a planned camping trip. Unsure and uncertain Iid I was going to keep her or not I wanted to know until I decided she was in good care and in good company. Really happy with Aimee’s attentiveness and help. I definitely plan to use her services again. Thank you Aimee!!!”
“Suzhen took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She went above and beyond by sending multiple photos and video updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure my dog got daily walks, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Suzhen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter!”

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 Big Pines 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 Big Pines 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 Big Pines.
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 Big Pines. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 Big Pines 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.
