“Samantha watched our Lab Shepherd mix, and our dog was in absolute heaven! She has a lot of anxiety, but Samantha did an amazing job following her routine and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated and gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”

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!!”

They were so kind, always kept me updated with photos and videos, showed me the area where the dogs would play before dropping my baby off, and even accommodated a last minute extra night. Will be booking with them again! 💙💙💙”

“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”

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.

Felt like family! Tiffany and her entire family are the best! Our puppies spent Easter week with them and they were surrounded by love and lots of attention. She was very responsive, communicative, and provided proactive care. With a young puppy, it was great that she only had our two dogs. Tiffany followed every instruction and was flexible to just ensure all their needs were seen to. With travel costs high already, booking with Tiffany was worth every additional penny. We had peace of mind and vacationed guilt-free knowing our dog babies were still being loved and snuggled even without us around. Tiffany and family are at the top of our sitter roster for future extended trips out of area. Highly recommended if you are looking for instant likability and trust!

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 Calavo Gardens 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 Calavo Gardens.

<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 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 , 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.
