“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“We were so thankful to have found Trent and his wonderful family for our Buster!! We really appreciated the regular check-ins/pics and videos! They were so easy to work with. We will definitely be rebooking with them when the time comes.”
“Charlie was great with Mr. Beans and he loved his stay there! He was also very patient with my pup and kept me updated throughout his stay. Mr. Beans can't wait to come back and play with his friends again!”
About: Dogs are and have always been an incredible source of joy for me. I have spent my entire life around dogs, both as a dog owner and as a dog sitter for extended family and friends. I have cared for dogs ranging in age from seven weeks to 22 years old, so I am comfortable with caring for dogs of any age. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around in and lots of love and laughter to share. I would love to provide a temporary home for your furry family members when you need it! I primarily work from home so I am free most of the day to keep a pup company. I live in a wonderful neighborhood for walking and exploring, and I love to take dogs out for long walks and new sniffs! Dogs are fully integrated into my home life as well; they have access to all of the comfy furniture that we humans enjoy. I love to cuddle and play and have plenty of room in the yard to throw a ball for them as well. Dogs are and have always been a part of my family. Because and I work mostly from home there is lots of playtime, cuddles and attention available for them throughout the day, as well as a fully fenced yard for the pups to run around in. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs with health issues so I am also comfortable administering medication as needed. My current dog, Alfredo, is a rescue, and I am familiar with the sensitivities that many rescue dogs have with respect to new environments. I know that every dog is an individual with its own personality, and I try to be sensitive to the specific needs of each dog that comes into my home. I have never crated my dogs; they have full access to my home, including furniture and beds.
“Jay B. Was amazing. My husband is VERY picky when it comes to our fur baby. She sent pictures throughout the stay and text I felt like it was an easy transition for him being in her home. Her home is super clean, cozy and just has a great energy about it, She also has a nice big back yard and took them out to play frequently. We are booking with her again on our next trip and will never use a boarding facility again.”
“Jamal was great with our little guy. He was sending us daily updates and was super flexible with drop off and pickup! We will definitely be rebooking with Jamal!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Marissa as a dog sitter for my pup, Bubba, during a five-night boarding. From start to finish, Marissa exceeded my expectations. She followed all my instructions to the letter and kept me updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Bubba clearly had a great time—Marissa played with him regularly and provided lots of love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend Marissa to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Ben was a super great host! 10 out of 10 would recommend, he was kind, communicative, flexible, and my doggie had a great stay. He asked if I had any specific requests, provided lots of cute pics for me throughout the day and evening with updates, my doggo got to play with all the others, and was taken good care of making the experience a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for everything!!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown over the years. As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care isn't just something I fit into my daily schedule, it's a part of my lifestyle and something that truly brings me joy 🐾 As a devoted dog mom with over 15 years of experience, my days and nights naturally revolve around caring for my furbabies, providing love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Welcoming your precious pup for a petcation fits perfectly into my routine because caring for animals is already second nature to me. I enjoy making every furbaby feel safe, comfortable, loved, and part of the family. Whether it's walks, playtime, relaxation, or extra TLC, I'll make sure your baby enjoys a little vacation of their own while you're away. Your baby won't just be a guest, they will be part of our family🐶💕 My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.
“Viriginia is amazing. I was nervous leaving my dog, but at the meet & greet my dog was so comfortable with her that it made the decision so easy. She sent updates with pictures letting me know how she was the whole time, and communicated with me.”
“Erika is super reliable, organized, and cares a lot about animals! She took care of Quincy well and gave us updates multiple times a day. Quincy tends to overheat pretty quickly, and we let Erika know this ahead of the 90 degree days and she went above and beyond making sure we knew he was cool, only went on walks early or late, etc. Q will be back!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover in addition to having someone I didn’t know watch my dog and I have to say I had a great experience. Makayla was a dream to find, she had great communication, sent me updates and photos and genuinely cared for my Baloo. I knew as soon as I met her Baloo was going to be in good hands and you can tell how much she loves animals. I will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend enough.”
“Kylie and Anthony were was amazing watching our 5 year old boxer, Maui. It was his first time staying with other dogs and despite Maui being a little difficult to get along with at first, they were very understanding and reassuring and it turned out great in the end. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets!”
“We’ve now completed two trial daycare days and two trial boarding stays with Mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Mello has separation anxiety, so we wanted to make sure she truly felt safe and comfortable before her official boarding. Mark has been incredibly patient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring every step of the way. He really goes above and beyond — he even brings Mello along with him when he’s out running quick errands like picking up pizza or McDonald’s, just so she can feel included and never alone. It’s clear he’s not just watching dogs — he’s trying to be their best friend. The biggest and most wonderful surprise: we had arranged trazodone for Mello to help with her anxiety and sleep, but she’s become so comfortable and happy there that she no longer needs it to rest well at night. That means everything to us. We’re heading into her official boarding stay next, and we feel completely confident she’ll have a great time. Thank you, Mark, for caring for Mello like your own!”
“Fantastic experience having our Chocolate Lab stay with Jason and his family. He communicated daily about how our dog was doing and we will definitely use his services again.”
“5 stars is not nearly enough! We are so excited to have found Dustin on rover. He and his wife are amazing and attentive sitters who made the whole process so easy! They have a great house and backyard with kind and considerate personalities to match. It was so much easier to go on vacation knowing our "high energy" furball would be well taken care of and loved. We found our new go-to dog sitters!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Calavo Gardens is $63

Our pups have stayed with Erica multiple times and they are always so happy to see her. They have such a great time during their stay that every time we pick them up they don’t want to leave. Highly recommend, she is always sending updates with pictures about their adventures with their new friends.
This was our first time leaving Louie with a Rover sitter, and Rhonda was everything we could have asked for. She is kind and very sweet, so it was easy to leave our dog with her, and the pictures and videos she sent were exactly what we needed. The house was perfectly set up for one dog, and it was good to learn that Louie can tolerate cats, so we may have a cat in the future. Overall, a truly wonderful experience, and we deeply appreciate Rhonda's genuine care for our Louie.
Vanessa and Brent were so loving and kind with Enzo, welcoming him like one of their own. They kept me updated with photos and videos of his day and thoughtfully asked questions whenever I’d left out a detail in my messages. It was clear how much care and attention they gave him, and I’m truly grateful. They took wonderful care of my dog, and I highly recommend them.
Carol is the absolute best! She went above and beyond to take amazing care of Peanut. She was incredibly communicative, took him on multiple walks, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. She has a wonderful setup at home and provides a warm, loving environment for pets. We felt completely at ease knowing Peanut was in such great hands. Highly recommend Carol, and we would absolutely love to use her services again in the future!
This was our first time bringing our dog Benny to Madison and it was a fantastic experience. We appreciated the meet and greet prior since Benny can be a little much in the personality department, they answered all our questions and left us feeling nothing but sure it was the right fit for us. Benny spent his first weekend there and he did great, we received pictures and updates letting us know he was having a great time. Appreciate the knowledge and experience both Madison and Moses bring to taking care of our babies! Highly recommended and we will be sure to bring Benny back again and again!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my baby. He can be nervous in a new place and definitely needed some time to warm up. He was even a little nippy with her kids at first, and she was incredibly patient and understanding about it. She gave him time to get comfortable and before long he was cuddling with her, hanging out with the family, and making himself completely at home. She sent me so many pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. I could actually see how much more comfortable he was getting as the days went on. She took him on walks, gave him lots of attention, and really seemed to care about him rather than just having another dog staying at her house. I also didn’t leave quite enough food for the whole trip and she went out and got more for him, which I really appreciated. I was out of the country for two weeks and I’m pretty particular about who I trust with my baby. I never felt like I needed to worry about him with Jennifer. She really went above and beyond and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog. I would 100% use her again.

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 Calavo Gardens 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 Calavo Gardens 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 Calavo Gardens.
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 Calavo Gardens. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Calavo Gardens 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.
