“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”
About: Dedicated animal lover, grown up with animals my whole life. Here to provide a loving and attentive experience for your animal. Medication administration, cat sitting, dog walking, or senior care, whatever it is I’m here to make your life easier and ensure the happiness and safety of your pet while you’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup/cat while you’re away! I’m available for boarding anytime or day of the week except Mondays. Please provide any necessities needed for your pet! (crate, toys, treats, food). I live 10 minutes from the cutest dog park to get all your pups zoomies out. If dog parks are a no zone, I live in a quiet and attentive home in Tahoe Donner to take your pup on a beautiful walk. I have no pets of my own to give lots of your pet attention!
“Mallory was so great with our Golden Doodle. Our dog has a tiny bit of anxiety, and Mallory was great with understanding what she needed- even holding her hand while cruising on the couch! Our puppy came back happy and content, tired from an afternoon of fun play with the other doggies.”
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.
About: Hi, I’m Jenn! I grew up surrounded by dogs…especially English bulldogs, including a litter of 11! I’ve loved dogs of all kinds ever since! Big or small, chubby or lean (though I have a soft spot for the pudgy ones 😄) I love them all!! We have a lovable and highly submissive mix of pug, beagle, and English bulldog…she’s a couch potato but lights up with puppy energy when she has a furry friend around! We’re also blessed with three wonderful kids and a spacious yard, perfect for playtime and snuggles. Your dog will be treated like family here—loved, spoiled, and cherished just like our own. I can’t wait to meet your pup! ❤️ I am a stay at home mom so the yard will be available at almost anytime! Wednesdays and Tuesdays I am gone for about 3 hours but other than that they will always be intently cared and loved on! Access to water and food anytime unless told otherwise. Access to yard pretty much all day. If you have a dog that doesn’t like other dogs or children my care is not for you, our girl is very submissive so you will never have to worry about the other dog in the house! Crate must be provided but they are welcome to roam in the house if that’s what they are used to!
“My husky rescue can be timid and scared in new setting. Nayla and her awesome dog made Freya feel comfortable, playing and hiking and building her confidence. Nayla was prompt, understanding, communicated well and shared lots of pics of their adventures. It was reassuring and awesome to see my dog having a great time. I highly recommend Nayla if you have an active dog and are looking for someone to give them the attention, exercise and love they need while in someone else’s care.”
“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for my pup, Wilson! She was so kind and easygoing and Wilson had so much fun going on a hike and playing with her new puppy all afternoon:) It was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that he was safe and getting some good exercise while I was away! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a daytime dog sitter.”
About: Dogs have been in my life since as long as I can remember. Taking care of animals is something I enjoy and therefore, do diligently. I understand the relationship between pets and their owners and I take care of anything you are worried about during your absence. I currently live on a completely fenced .5 acre lot with a mix of grass, dirt and matured trees. If your dog spends time here they will spend it playing with my two dogs, swimming in the river down the street or sleeping in the shade. I currently work from home, so I am available whenever is needed. Your pets are my priority, so I am sure to make my schedule around their comfort. I have a fenced in yard and an endless amount of healthily, safe dogs treat and activities for them. Pets will be constantly in view to prevent any “one off” situations.
About: I have been a lifelong dog owner and have extensive experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve provided reliable pet sitting and dog walking services, ensuring that dogs are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From small, energetic breeds to larger, more laid-back dogs, I have experience managing a variety of personalities and needs. Whether it’s an active pup that requires extra playtime or a more reserved dog that needs patience and calm, I know how to adapt to ensure they feel safe and happy. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, playtime, and care as needed. My flexible schedule also means I can easily accommodate walks, feeding times, and any special needs the pets may have, ensuring they receive the best care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize respecting their space and routines. I ensure the home is left just as I found it, following any specific instructions regarding pet care, feeding, and house rules. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment for the pets, treating both the animals and the home with care and professionalism.

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Calpine commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
