“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”
“My dog loved hanging out with Aaron and family for the week! Pictures and updates were sent everyday, and my buddy came back home happy with no problems. Very grateful to Aaron and Nicole for looking after him so well!!”
About: I am happy to announce that I recently acquired a home with a 20 acre piece of property in Graeagle where I am now boarding animals! I have one dog of my own, a Vizsla mix who is 6 1/2 years old and loves all other animals. I am currently taking up to 3 additional dogs total on to my property at a time, depending on their size and demeanor. I require a meet and greet in your home or a neutral area to ensure my dog and yours get along. If there are other dogs on property during your pets stay, I will either ensure they are compatible or keep them separate during the entire stay. Although my property is surrounded by forest land, it is best if your dog likes to stick close and not run off too far. There is a small stream that runs through my property to play in, nothing deep enough to cause more trouble than dirty paws. My boarding fees include pick up and drop off from your home since I do not allow visitors on to my property, due to safety reasons. Your dog will be inside, out of the elements at night as well as during the day, during inclement weather. I curtail your dogs activities to your preference. I encourage you sending your pup with toys, beds, etc. I always feed dogs separately and if treats or bones are to be given, I separate all dogs at that time as well. Please ask any questions you may have, I am OCD about safety and making you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you are away from them. Pet care is my sole source of income and my life pretty much revolves around it. I wouldn’t have it any other way! I love what I do. I care for every pet differently. I adhere to the owners instructions as closely as I can since they know what’s best for their own pet. When there is question I refer back to the knowledge I’ve learned in the past with my own animals or pets that have been in my care.
“My dog and I both loved Kathy. I was a little nervous, leaving him because I rarely board him, but I felt so comfortable after leaving him with Kathy. She sent me photos throughout the day each day with updates. My dog had fun and felt comfortable there and I will definitely use her again.”
“Louis and June are just amazing! Brie took to them almost immediately! Their home is beautiful with an amazing backyard with plenty of room to run. Their dog Hunter is very friendly and became fast friends with Brie! Highly recommend and would use again in a heartbeat!”
“Scooter, my 3 year old boy dog had the best experience with Andrea, Henry and their whole family. Andrea was a great communicator before and during the stay. Henry took Scooter on so many walks and gave him endless snuggles. Thank you both, Scooter misses you and the chipmunks!”
“Absolutely the nicest people ever! Took incredible care of my dog and kept me updated and communicated with me while I was away! I literally wont use anyone else after my dog stayed with them!!! 1000% will use again!”
“We love Mallory! She is very kind, caring, thoughtful. Your pup will be in great hands here :) She will take care of your fur baby as if they were her own. My pup Nelly had so much fun playing with her super sweet dog Mecho. He got lots of exercise and was a very tired boy when I picked him up. Nelly is already looking forward to his next stay at Mallory’s. Highly recommend!”
“Melanie was so wonderful to our dog, Indy. She treated her just like she was apart of her family. Even on last minute notice - she kept Indy for a few extra days! We will be boarding with Melanie for all future needs.”
About: My dog recently passed away at the age of 16, so I am just trying to get my doggy fixes in. I would love if they could join me for a run or hike. I currently work full time at an office M-F but come home for lunch for an hour. But I can guarantee a morning, lunch and evening walk (or activity) I live in an adu apartment but have a big open backyard and don’t mind pets on furniture if you don’t mind them on furniture.
“Tim was an excellent with Luna. I went on vacation for 12 days and was very responsive when it came to updates and pictures. Luna looked like she had a great time with all of the outdoor adventures Tim took her on. Most definitely a reliable dog sitter.”
“Sussy was fantastic with my two littles. I was visiting Reno so we didn't have time for meet and greet beforehand. However, we were able to visit a bit at the drop off. Both of my babies slept all the way back home. I will definitely use Sussy again when visiting.”
About: I have dogsat consistently for the last year and have also volunteered in animal shelters since high school. I can board small dogs and love dog walking and sitting all dogs. I work mostly from home except for needing to leave the house a few times a week to teach in person. On the weekends I usually hike and can easily take a dog with me! My apartment can only accompany a small dog but I have experience dog sitting dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m a very careful dog sitter, and will make sure your dog stays safe and house stays clean.
About: I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer who specializes in positive reinforcement techniques and I’d love to welcome your beloved fur babies into my loving home. I am first aid trained and insured. I spend all of my free time with my own pups and welcoming yours into my days is sure to go seamlessly. Dogs who are crate trained are preferred. I have a fully fenced yard with multiple entry/exits to the home if the need for separation presents itself. I’m fully insured, professionally certified and CPR/First Aid certified.
“I’m so grateful to Katie and her family for taking such wonderful care of Ozzie! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt comfortable knowing he was in loving and caring hands. Katie was amazing about following Ozzie’s diet and making sure he stayed on his normal routine. She also kept me updated as needed and sent me photos of her and Ozzie playing together, which was so reassuring and made me happy to see that he was having a great time. ❤️🐾 I also really appreciated how flexible Katie was with my pickup time. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to accommodate made the whole experience completely stress-free. It was clear that Ozzie was happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. I truly appreciate all the love and attention Katie and her family gave him. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving home for their dog. Ozzie will definitely be staying with them again! ❤️”
“Filanthi and her daughter were so loving to my senior dog, Nugget. I appreciate their enthusiasm and attention given to my dog who has limited vision and is hard of hearing. Nugget also enjoyed hanging out with their senior dog which made his stay more comfortable.”
“Nayla was amazing with Taquito! She asked a bunch of questions to make sure she knew how to best handle Taquito (on/off leash, if she liked the water, how to best feed, etc) and Taquito was immediately comfortable around her and her pup which is always a relief. She was communicative, sent us a bunch of pictures and flexible with scheduling pick up and drop off. Taquito had the best time and I highly recommend Nayla!”
About: I have had dogs in my house since before I was born and have never gone a day with out dogs living at home. I love to take my own two dogs on walks and would love to help out others that don’t have the time or ability to take their own out on walks all the time. I currently have my two dogs, two cats and a little zoo made up of different types of pets. I typically work early mornings and I am off by noon most days so a quick afternoon walk is ideal for me. My services are available almost everyday from noon to five in the afternoon. Since I have so many of my own pets I prefer to pet sit at the clients house. I mainly offer dog walking but for any quick day trip over overnighter I am able to stop by to care for your pet and meet their needs.

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 Calpine 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 Calpine.
<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 Calpine 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.
