“We were hesitant to leave our Nico with a sitter due to him recovering from an injury. But after reading her profile and seeing how knowledgeable and experienced she was, we had no doubt our Nico was in amazing hands. Lauren kept us updated with messages and pictures, allowing us complete peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure our anxious pup was comfortable. Highly recommend and would gladly book again!”
“Barbara has consistently taken such good care of our senior dog, Kiska. I don’t have to worry about him when we are away because I know he is in good hands. Thank you for the nice bath and warm sweater! 🥰”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”
“It was my first time using a sitter for my 13 year old dog and I was very anxious about it.. Amber did an amazing job of helping ease my anxieties so I could enjoy my trip through consistent check ins and updates on my dog. Amber was very polite and professional with her communications and a pleasure to work with.”
“I really appreciate how Maribel took care of my dog Bruno. The updates and pictures made it clear he was comfortable and having a great time. It means so much to know he was in safe, loving hands. Highly recommend!”
“She did a great job with keeping my husky safe and happy especially during the holidays and while it was raining. She was quick to respond and let me know in full detail what my dog was up to and informed me of any problems that she noticed. The only small issue I had was that I wished she updated me earlier about how my dog was doing but besides that she was great.”
“These ladies were wonderful. I’m so happy we found someone so quickly and they were perfect for our Lucy. I loved getting pictures and videos. This was our first time leaving our over grown baby St. Bernard, but she was very happy. Will definitely recommend and I’ll use their services again. Thank you ladies ? Lucy sends her hellos.”
“Alondra watched my dog while I was out of town for a extended weekend. I was sent photos and videos of her everyday. I felt completely comfortable the whole time I was away; I knew that Abbie was well taken care of and safe. I would recommend having her sit your dog, I plan on using her again when I need a sitter.”
“So happy to have a safe place for my older yorkie. She came home so much happier than with previous boarding experiences. I could tell from the pictures that she was being loved and cared for. Thanks Anna!”
“O recently moved to the area and Aliky has been keeping my furry kid for daycare and overnight stays. She has been an excellent care provider for my dog. My dog has medical conditions and Aliky has been able to provide the sensitive care she needs. I appreciate her attentiveness to detail and the warm environment she provides for my dog. I highly recommend Aliky for your pet care needs.”
“Nena took great care of our dog and we appreciated the picture updates from her. She answered all of our questions and responded to our messages in a quick and timely manner.”
“Glenda pet sitted for our very active lab puppy at her home. It was very reassuring to know he was watched closely and taken good care of while we were away for a few days. We will definitely use her again!”
“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”
“Summer has a beautiful home and a loving personality. My Toby felt right at home. Summer sent some fun pictures and she even helped me to add a spa package as Toby just finished a hike with us and I didn't have time to bathe him prior to drop off. Toby was so clean and happy when I picked him up I couldn't have been happier with her care. I highly recommend Summer if you have a four legged family member who might not be welcome at the nearby kings canyon/sequoia national parks. Her location is ideal for such a day trip from the Bakersfield area.”
“Amber was able to accommodate my situation last minute, literally hours before, which really saved me!! She was also very flexible with my pickup and drop off times and able to handle my two huge dogs that do not get along with each other. I highly recommend! Thanks again amber!”
“Sophia boarded my cat for a week and took excellent care of him! My pet is a little on the shy side and she was very patient with him and provided a cozy spot under the bed for him to hide out and feel safe. I came home to a happy cat- he was in good hands with Sophia and I would definitely ask her to take care of him again.”
“Glee was awesome! She was extremely flexible and adapted to my uncertain schedule for pickup! She kept updates often with videos of my two dogs and I could tell my dogs were very happy under here care! Would definitely recommend Glee?”
“This was our first time using Rover. We really liked Maritza. She took care of Mayu really well. I liked how she would send videos to show us how she was doing and always kept us updated. We will definitely have her sit again for us if she is available.”

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.
96% of sitters in Caliente 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 Caliente 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 Caliente.
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 Caliente. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Caliente 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.
