“Angelika did a great job watching my dog. She provided regular updated videos and pictures of how she was doing during her stay. My puppy who is intimated by larger dogs made a friend as well as a result of Angelika! I’d recommend her to any pet parent! :)”
About: I've owned dogs since childhood, often multiples at a time, and I've done dog sitting for friends and a few clients, so I'm comfortable with everything from mellow seniors to a livelier small pack. I know how to read dog body language and moods, which comes from decades of hands-on experience. I'm a former teacher with 20+ years working with kids and teens, and I now run my own coaching practice. That background makes me patient, attentive, and calm even when things get chaotic. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around it. On weekday mornings I usually head out for a short hike, so dogs get that outdoor time built right into the start of the day. Beyond that, they're checked on frequently and spend time with me throughout the day; whether I'm at my desk or tending the garden. Evenings and weekends tend to be even more hands-on, with more outside time and trail walks nearby if it's a good fit for the dog. Dogs in my care stay on our fully fenced 1+ acre property in the Santa Cruz Mountains (Bonny Doon), so there's plenty of secure space to roam and play without being near roads. We have our own friendly dog, plus two indoor/outdoor cats, so dogs need to be comfortable around other animals. Crating is available if that's part of your dog's routine or preferred by you. Just let me know and I'll set it up accordingly. I keep a close eye on food, water, and any specific routines or instructions owners share with me, and I'm comfortable handling medications or special needs if discussed in advance.
“Bianca was super flexible and patience with my dogs. We had two dogs that don’t get along well with one another and she graciously was willing to host both dogs. The dogs came back happy and slept as soon as they came home! My dogs have never been officially dog sat before so she made us feel comfortable and at ease while she was dog sitting. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Bhumi was graciously willing to accommodate a last-minute booking which made our trip possible! She was easy to work with, responsive, and took good care of my senior pup :)”
“My experience with Sofiya was great. My dog was super happy at her place and she sent the cutest and funniest updates in the form of “dog thoughts”. She’s very responsive, and makes sure that your pet has a great time with her!”
“Leaving our dog with Anusha is always the easiest decision to make when going on vacation! Her and her family always treat our dog like one of their own. Plenty of playtime, walks and cuddles! Thank you Anusha!”
“This was our first time leaving our 5 month old golden retriever, Willow, and we could not have asked for a better experience with Azedah. She was so kind, understanding, professional, and kept our fur baby so safe and happy. We will definitely be booking again soon! 😁”
“It’s been a while since we’ve wanted to travel and had to think about boarding our dogs. We recently found Steve and did a meet and greet and it was very obvious that our pups were comfortable with him and he was comfortable with them. We booked a one day stay as a trial and our dogs clearly had a blast. Our dogs were so much happier having spent a day with Steve than being stuck alone at home. Highly recommended!”
“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
“Lin is truly phenomenal. Before Muesli was dropped off, she made thorough inquiries about her diet, daily routine, likes and dislikes, as well as any emergency protocol. Once Muesli arrived at her home, she was cared for with such loving attention, it felt like she was a member of the family. From the photos I received twice a day, I could see how comfortable Muesli was in Lin’s home, spending time with different members of her family, and having a wonderful time playing, walking, and napping together with Lin’s super-friendly and well-behaved pups, Ccino and Meebao. Lin also takes amazing photos. They capture the very essence of Muesli enjoying her treats and toys, going on walks, and playing with Ccino and Meebao. We looked at the photos over and over, sharing a good laugh at her silly antics and, most importantly, knowing that she was happy and in such good hands. I highly recommend Lin to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet not simply as a guest, but truly as a member of the family. Muesli was clearly very happy with Lin and her family, and I would absolutely trust Lin with Muesli again.”
“Sophia was amazing! We were very nervous about leaving our Frenchie with a stranger - it's been several years since we left him overnight with anyone, let alone 6 nights. But Drax loved her and her family! We received updates multiple times per day, including a few music videos of him walking, playing, and getting massages 😁 He was very well taken care of. We definitely recommend Sophia and would book with her again in a second!”
“TL; DR Li-Ting is a great sitter and I highly recommend her. Li-Ting has been taking care of our dog with love and attention to every details. Our dog is very sensitive to new environment and she doesn’t always get along with other dogs. However, from the daily updates from Li-Ting, I can see our dog is getting used to the environment and the companion with her body language. Thanks again for taking good care of our flurry daughter and we truly appreciate it.”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for seven years now! I am very comfortable with exercising, feeding, and caring for multiple dogs or cats at once. I have experience in administering medication when needed. I am knowledgeable about different collars and harnesses, as well as overall safety with dogs in public. I am very active and happy to take your dog on as many walks as you suggest throughout the day. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Other than pet care, I am a self-employed seamstress which means that my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to help weekdays or weekends and am usually available for last minute requests. My care will always depend on your pets's individual needs, but you can always count on me to provide exceptional care to your animal. I will thoroughly follow any notes from you regarding your pet's eating, medication, & exercise schedules.
“Jesse is a pro and it's apparent that he loves dogs and provides loving care. We appreciate the photos and updates that provide reassurance that Kouna enjoys his stay with Jesse every time.”
“I can’t recommend and thank Robyn enough for looking after Zara during our vacation. I was on a cruise and couldn’t get service at all times, but when I did her thoughtful updates made my day. Zara also had been dealing with some health issues and Robyn was attentive, empathetic, and understanding with the whole situation which also eased my mind while away. Overall I know Zara had a wonderful time and also was looked after with the greatest care. Thank you Robyn”
“Would definitely book again! Him and his family were caring and kind to her while we were away for a few days. He sent multiple updates throughout her stay. Finally found a permanent sitter to come.”

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.
92% of sitters in Brookdale 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 Brookdale home-away-from-home, 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 Brookdale.
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 Brookdale 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 , 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 .
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.
