“Jennifer & Julie took excellent care of Zoey. She had a great time at their place, so much so that she didn’t seem that excited to see us! They updated us regularly on how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Zoey will be visiting again soon.”
“Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful with Cooper! They were so friendly and sweet with my boy, followed all of his care instructions, and made sure he got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I could tell from how happy and relaxed Cooper was that he had a great time. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind and caring family to look after him. I would absolutely rebook them!”
“Heidi, Phil, and their daughter were very responsive and made sure to update us with the cutest pictures. We could tell from our first video meeting that they really love animals and strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment that meets all your pet’s needs. Highly recommend and will be our new go to boarding/daycare when we’re in town!”
“Omg! Tami is a gem! I found the perfect sitter. I went through all the local profiles and carfully selected who i found to be the perfect match for my dog. Her home is lovely and my Addie girl was spoiled rotten! Tami sent me several pictures and kept me updated. I look forward to using her again. ❤ Thank you Tami!”
“We had a great experience with boarding our dog, Maggie, with Tara and her family! Tara took excellent care of our dog. Maggie went on walks everyday and we also received daily updates & photos of her. We are very happy & appreciative to have found a reliable, communicative & kind dog sitter for our golden retriever and would highly recommend Tara & her family for your pet. Donna & Peter”
About: I am not just a pet sitter; I am a highly experienced caregiver who understands that every dog requires unique, specialized attention. Having raised and cared for my own four dogs for 25 years, I know exactly what it takes to keep a home safe, happy, and structured for multiple pets. I am fully confident and experienced in managing complex health conditions. I provide specialized care for diabetes (including strict schedules and insulin shots), seizure management, and gentle guidance for seniors experiencing Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD). From fragile 5-pound newborn puppies to independent 110-pound seniors, I understand the different handling, behavioral, and nutritional needs across all sizes and life stages. I am used to keeping up with a pack! I walked my four dogs every single day, meaning your pet will get the reliable exercise, outdoor time, and routine they thrive on. My community frequently relies on me to care for their pets because they know I treat every dog with the same level of vigilance and love as my own. I treat pet care as a core priority in my daily and weekly schedule. My routine is built around reliability and punctuality, which is crucial for pets on strict medical or feeding regimens. I dedicate my mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings entirely to pet visits, ensuring that diabetic checks, insulin shots, and senior care happen precisely on time. Because I am used to managing a busy multi-dog pack of my own, I am highly organized and adapt my weekly calendar to give your pets the consistent, dedicated time they deserve. I treat your pet exactly like a member of my own pack, offering a structured, safe, and loving environment. I follow your exact instructions down to the letter. If your diabetic pet needs breakfast and insulin at a precise hour, or if your senior cat needs specialized cognitive support at night, I am there right on time. Because of my extensive experience with seizures, diabetes, and other health issues, I am highly observant. I look out for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits, and I know exactly how to handle medical emergencies calmly. I keep up your pet's favorite neighborhood walking routes and playtime rituals, ensuring they get the mental stimulation and physical exercise they are used to.
About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats (and other types of pets) over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. Although I will keep your house as tidy as possible if I am House Sitting for you. I live in Santa Maria, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara or San Luis Counties depending on the day(s). I would consider traveling further on the weekends if I am able. I am a responsible & trustworthy person, who genuinely enjoys caring for others. I work from home on Mon & Fri, so I am only unavailable during the day on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I am able to care for animals in the morning before I leave for work and every evening. I recently lost my dog at the ripe old age of 17, I used to walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. I work in conjunction with my partner who is home during the day, so if there is a need for more exercise, feedings or medication during the day, we can facilitate that. I enjoy the company of animals, so they would be included in everything I do, as much as possible. I used to take my dog everywhere with me. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a is fenced in yard with a locked gate.
“Buddy, our golden retriever loved his stay at Alicia’s - he especially liked her daughter and told us all about her when we picked him up. Wonderful family - super clean and very safe from streets. Thanks for the great care!”
“This was our first time scheduling overnight stays with Jenna. She was amazing! Not only did she get us out of a last minute bind, but she cared for our girl like one of her own. She communicated with us daily and sent pictures updates. She put our minds at ease knowing Birdie was in such good hands. We will definitely schedule her in the future!”
“Caitlin was incredibly attentive with my nervous Nellie and remained in contact with me throughout her oversight stay. I appreciate her kind and thoughtful demenor to help my senior pup feel safe.”
About: Although my pup is no longer alive, he brought me so much joy and I know your animals do too! I have many years of dog care and had cats while growing up. I can uphold any pet training you require and also have some great skills to add. I am currently very flexible! I am returning to school to obtain my Masters in therapy so my school schedule is flexible. Please reach out! I’m happy to provide for the needs of each individual pet, as all are different! I can provide cuddles, play enrichment sessions, training skills practice, dog walks, outdoor time, or crating if needed.
“Our dog Bentley had such a wonderful time with Shantal and her dog Kala. They went on fun hikes and walks each day which was perfect for my high energy dog. Shantal was a great communicator listening to all the details of our dog's care. I felt confident Bentley was in good hands while we were away. She sent us fun photos of their time out and about. I think Bentley had a blast! Thanks so much Shantal and Kala! We look forward to having Bentley stay with you again!”
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

I’m a caring, reliable animal lover who would love to give your pets all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves playtime and cuddles or prefers a little extra space and a calm environment, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! Your pets aren't just pets; they're family. I’ll treat them like my own! 🐶🐱💕 I work from 6 AM to 3 PM, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m organized and dependable, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and drop-in visits around my work hours. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality, needs, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by keeping up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I’m happy to give extra attention to shy or anxious pets and respect their boundaries as they warm up to me. I also prioritize keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their furry family members are happy and safe while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for!
“Our furs are 8 yrs old and have only been overnight with family. Finding Rover and Karrie S has been a blessing we have been wishing for. I knew immediately at our meet and greet that Karrie was for us. Her ultimate care and love and knowledge of dogs was so calming. We know when the furs are with her in her home, we can enjoy ourselves without worry. Side note, we love interacting with Karrie on the human level and consider her a friend.”
“Our puppies had the best time of their lives with Robert! We went to Disneyland knowing the puppies were in good hands overnight. Robert took great care of our little boys. Providing us with Non-Stop videos and photos of them playing with his children playing in their backyard having a good time. We will make sure to book him for our next trip to Disneyland I definitely feel safe with knowing that our puppies are with Robert he is hands down 10 out of 10 the best you can find on this app. The meet and greet went smooth the puppy is really enjoyed his dog.

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.
94% of sitters in Callender 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 Callender 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 Callender.
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 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 Callender 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.
