“We had a great sitting for our dog with Dylan during an overnight stay. Dylan is very prompt with his responses, and kept us posted with updates during the stay . We felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with him. Will rebook Dylan again for sure.Thanks,Dylan !”
“Xue and her family were great! They provided a safe and loving home for Koda while we were away. She was professional and also proactive in providing us updates and pictures. I will for sure go back to Xue for any future boarding needs.”
“Peter is a professional, organized, and thoughtful dog sitter. He kept us updated with regular texts and photos, and he and his family took the best care of our Goldendoodle. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you, Peter, we look forward to the next time!”
“Bella is the love of my life. She is my first and only baby. She has had some medical challenges in the past where we almost lost her. She’s stayed in kennels before when we’ve gone on vacation and always came back trembling and scared. With Shawna, she wags her tail and runs right up to her to stay! So grateful we found her.”
“We left our two pugs with Paul for a long weekend trip, four days. Paul is absolutely an "dog person" and has experience with dogs of many breeds, including pugs! He had great communication before and during the boarding engagement. Our pugs were returned happy and healthy and it was apparent that Paul took very good care of them. I would recommend Paul for anyone who has boarding needs.”
“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
About: I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for my Shih Tzu, who has been part of my family since he was a puppy. I understand the patience, love, attention, and daily care pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and caring for senior dogs with extra patience and attention. I have a flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. I offer boarding and daycare, and I’m happy to provide potty breaks and walks as often as the owner requests. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming home for pets while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I give every pet plenty of attention and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.
“Nick and Sarah took care of my energetic 1 year old golden puppy, while I was on vacation. They were wonderful, with Bodie able to meet their dog a couple of weeks before I left. I really appreciated the meet and greet. While I was away I received lots of cute pictures, and Bodie and their dog got along really well. Huge thanks to them both.”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kosar was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of our dog, including multiple daily walks and frequent photo updates. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Best Rover experience that I've had to date! Angela, Randall, and family were wonderful. We received a lot of pictures while we were gone and the dogs looked so happy. The backyard is perfect for fur babies, and they received a lot of exercise on wonderful hikes! Our dogs were gassed when we got home and slept like babies. I will definitely book again!”
“Zhao and her family took good care of Socrates. I chose them because their house is similar size like mine and my cat prefers bigger space. I was given frequent update of my Socrates with pictures and videos.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’m excited to help your pup feel happy and loved while you’re away. Though I recently had to be separated from my own dog, I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so I know how to give them attention, comfort, and fun. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every dog like a part of the family. I’d love to meet your pup and provide the care, attention, and companionship they deserve! I work from home in a pet-friendly community, so your dog will get plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention all day. I have a flexible schedule if provided with enough notice. I prioritize safety, trust, and a happy environment for every dog. Since I don’t currently have any pets, your pup will have my full attention! I provide walks, cuddles, and supervision in a secure, pet-friendly space. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your rules and routines exactly, treating your dog and your home with the same love and respect I would my own.
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“What a great family and dog sitters!!!!! The kids know hope to care and lead dogs. Hoada and Fawzi are warm, calm and welcoming. The trust and confidence in dog care is solid. A great spot for dog care!”
About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blackhawk
Megan was amazing! Our Winston had the best time! She took care of Winston like he was part of the family. This was our puppies first overnighter which was a little nerve racking but Megan put us at ease, she sent lots of photos and checked in with us throughout Winston’s stay. If you want to find a sitter who will keep your puppy happy and safe she’s your girl.
Always a caring and loving environment. We boarded our 16-year old kitty for the first time with Rachna and Mike. Rachna went out of her way to ensure that Koko was comfortable and loved by spoiling her and giving up her desk where she found Koko sleeping. This is the kind of dedication and love that all petsitters should have. Our dog also stays with Rachna and Mike and gets excited once he realizes he's arrived at their home.
Nick and Sarah did such a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog Pablo. We so appreciated all the updates and videos of Pablo’s visit. We would sincerely recommend Nick and Sarah for boarding a dog. Even though Pablo can be trying, Nick and Sarah were so good with him. He came home a happy doggie. Oh, and George, their bulldog was a great host, too. 😊
Pat & Lopa were so great in taking care of my dog. My dog got a long so well with their dog, Donny. Their home felt like our home which was reassuring while we were away. So glad to have found Pat & Lopa. They were so easy to work with on the details. Will definitely book with them again.
We left our two pugs with Paul for a long weekend trip, four days. Paul is absolutely an "dog person" and has experience with dogs of many breeds, including pugs! He had great communication before and during the boarding engagement. Our pugs were returned happy and healthy and it was apparent that Paul took very good care of them. I would recommend Paul for anyone who has boarding needs.

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 Blackhawk 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 Blackhawk.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Blackhawk 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.
