“Edith was fantastic!! We left our 16 year old dog with her for a week and were super nervous because we were hundreds of miles away, but Edith gave us so much peace of mind and constantly sent us updates with pictures and videos! Our little dog looked so content and spoiled! I would highly recommend trusting your pets with Edith! Thank you so much!”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Kodi took a very good care of our dog Barley. He got lots of pets and cuddles. She provided daily updates and was very responsive to my texts. Barley looked very happy in all the pictures and when we picked him up, it was clear he was well taken care of and had a great time!”
“We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience! She is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she has been so caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our babies. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands while we’re away. She keeps us updated, follows their routine, and you can truly tell how much she cares about them. Seeing how comfortable and happy Lucas and Maui are with her means everything to us. We are so grateful for all the love and care she gives them. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our babies.”
“Rachel does such an amazing job watching our dog Scout! She is incredibly fast at responding, is easy to work with, and she takes the cutest pictures of our dog while we are gone!”
“Karyn has been such a wonderful sitter for our two pups! We’re sadly moving away and will really miss the ease and comfort of having Karyn nearby. She watched our pups for 7 different trips including two stays that were a week long and she was constantly updating us and taking such good care of our babies. 11/10 would recommend Karyn as a dog sitter!!”
“Darryl and Janice made our experience with them very special, we felt very comfortable leaving our Dog with them.They are very professional in their handling of Dogs. We will definitely be using their services again soon. I recommend to everyone that you should board your Dog with Darryl and Janice.”
“Marilyn is the best! We needed boarding for 2 days for a quick getaway. She responded to me so quickly, and she took such great care of our Bowki. She took him on walks, and even sent me a texts, video and photos for updates. Marilyn is such a sweet and kind person and I highly recommend her for care. Will definitely use her again!! 🐾🦴🐕😊”
“Kat was amazing when it came to communicating before and during my dogs stay with her. She is very professional & kind. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs any dog sitting services. FIVE starts”

I have a fully fenced yard and three friendly dogs—Balto, Henri, and Sarabi—who love to play and socialize. I always make sure introductions are done calmly and safely. I also have a separate room available for your fur baby if they need quiet time or prefer their own space, especially during cold, hot, or rainy weather. Crates are available if your pet is crate-trained or finds comfort in having their own cozy area. My goal is to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while making sure they feel secure, relaxed, and at home.
“We had a great experience with Fidel sitting for us. He even was willing to do a meet and greet before our appointment, so we could see how our dog would react to him and the environment. While we were away he sent some pics and an update.”
“Edgar and his family treated my dog like he was one of their own. I got videos almost daily of how much fun Boston was having. They gave him special healthy treats, walked him and loved on him. I don’t think he wanted to come home! Thank you all for taking such good care of my dog Boston. Being far from everyone we know, you all were a blessing when we had to leave him to fly out of state. ❤️❤️”
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog for boarding, but April made the whole experience so much easier. From the start, she was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. She even sent me a video while I was away, which helped ease my mind and showed me how happy and well-cared-for my dog was. I truly appreciated the communication and care she provided. I highly recommend April and will definitely be using her services again!”
“This was our first time using Patti and it was such an amazing experience! She updated us daily & even sent pictures of our sweet dog, Piper! I would definitely recommend Patti for your dog-sitting needs!!”

“Fabulous! Leaving Baloo with Shakira was the best decision I could have made!! She took him in like family would. I got pictures of him throughout the weekend with such a big doggie smile that I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave!! It looks like he had a great weekend with her. Baloo is a big, giant mastiff pit bull marshmallow, but a lot of people are intimidated by his size. Not her! She let him snuggle right up to her. I DEFINITELY recommend her.”
“Thank you, Yoshi, for taking great care of my Junior! I am so happy I found you and I don’t have to worry about anything when I need a boarding place and loving hoooman for my girl 👍❤️🐶”
“Elizabeth and her husband did an outstanding job caring for all three of my pets. She was very attentive and treated them like they were her own. She always kept me up to date on their day and sent lots of pictures! Overall great care from them, and I will definitely book with them again!”
“Natalie provided consistent communication and attention to my dog's needs, demonstrating a professional and caring mindset which instilled the utmost confidence in my dog's well being while away. She was able to provide a caring boarding home for our dog with relatively short notice and was accommodating to our drop off/pick up schedule.”
“So grateful for Alyssa agreeing to our last minute request. Quick communication and thoroughness throughout. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Alyssa. He came back happy and tired from all the adventures! Would highly recommend!”

Rachel was fantastic with Daisy. Her and her family are so sweet and took great care of my golden retriever. She had other dogs for my dog to socialize with which was much needed. Rachel was friendly and had great communication. She even sent daily pictures of what my pup was doing for peace of mind. Overall, it was a great experience and would recommend anyone to her for their pet sitting needs!
Melanie was very wholesome and thoughtful to our pups! Our pups are not easy to handle sometimes but understood exactly what they needed and embraced their personalities. She and her family were so welcoming to us and our pups. We will be using her for as long as time allows!
We absolutely loved Heather! She was so caring and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Romo with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we could tell he was being loved and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands! Romo clearly loved spending time with her family and the other doggies, too—he told us without telling us 😉 We’re so happy we found Heather and would absolutely book with her again!
Nina and Joe have been our go-to Rover sitters for Kimber for the past several years, and I couldn't recommend them more. Knowing Kimber is genuinely loved, well cared for, and treated like part of their family gives me complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We're so grateful to have found them and wouldn't trust anyone else with our girl!
Rachel and her daughter are truly wonderful, kind, and caring people. They took care of Lior for almost a week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They treated him like their own dog, and it was clear that Lior felt loved and happy with them. He absolutely adored them. They were incredibly thoughtful — they even bought him toys and spent time playing with him. He came home happy and is still enjoying the toys they gave him. I feel very grateful to have found Rachel and her daughter. I completely trust them, and I will 100% choose Rachel again for my next trip. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone truly loving and responsible to care for their dog.

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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa.
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 Calimesa. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Calimesa 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.
