“Leeanna and her entire family welcomed Frances with pets and hugs, and Frances settled in quickly. Frances always had friends nearby with Leeanna's three girls, who were so loving and gentle. There was even a slumber party in the living room with Frances, complete with piles of pillows Frances could burrow into. Leeanna sent pictures throughout the evening so I knew my baby girl was in good hands. I highly recommend Leanna, especially if you have a small, delicate dog.”
“Danielle is one of those rare people who immediately puts both dogs and their humans at ease. She took exceptional care of my rescue French Bulldog, Giani, who struggles with separation anxiety and can require a bit of extra patience and understanding. Danielle went above and beyond, even adjusting her schedule to accommodate his needs. Her calm demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, were evident from the start. Throughout Giani’s stay, I felt completely reassured that he was in caring and capable hands. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly outstanding dog sitter.”
“Amber was great and sent pictures of Moki’s adventures each day. Moki seemed happy when I picked her up and had even had a bath. I would definitely reach out again and would recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“We are so grateful that our dog Mina got to stay with such a kind family. Bradley and Carolyn were incredibly attentive and caring, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They sent daily updates along with the cutest photos, which we really appreciated. If Mina could talk, I’m sure she would give them a 5 out of 5 rating. She loved playing with the other dogs and got plenty of walks and attention. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with them again.”
“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”
“Ellen did an excellent job boarding my dog over the weekend! She was available on short notice and extremely communicative throughout the stay. Banjo seemed to have a great time and would love to come back in the future :)”
“Candice was wonderful both with my mom’s dog and with communication. My mom had photos to comfort her while away from her little pal and that was very thoughtful and helpful. And Barney was well cared for and happy. We will definitely contact Candice again.”
“My dog, Pete had a wonderful time with Brittany and Río! Brittany took him for super fun, active adventures every day and sent lots of picture updates. I booked with Brittany while in town for a trip and wish she lived closer so that Pete could stay with her more often. Highly recommend!!”
“Jacob, Simone, and Mango have been the most wonderful companions to my little pup over multiple trips away. From daily updates to adorable photos, your pup becomes part of their family, immediately. Could not be more grateful to have found them, and could not recommend more to anyone anxious about leaving behind their bestie while they have to pop out of town. THANK YOU!”
“Wonderful experience! Our dog had a great time with Jorrit and his family. Very kind people with a great backyard. We appreciate that they were so flexible with our changing travel plans. We hope they will be our 'go to' dog sitters!”
“Jasmine was a great sitter for Bella! She was great at communicating, sent us photos, and was so sweet with our senior fur baby. She also was very through in figuring out what she needs, and was able to supply her with anything we forgot to bring. We definitely recommend her!”
“Karrie was absolutely wonderful with our babies. One of our dogs is almost 17 and needs a little extra attention and Karrie was so patient and caring. We also received picture updates while we were gone and I dogs loved going to the dog park with her.”
“Wendy was great! She kept me updated the entire time and took wonderful care of my dog, Artimus. Her home is very dog-friendly with a nice yard, and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs. I’d absolutely trust her to watch Artimus again.”
About: I have always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m skilled at providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general companionship. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles or a high-energy play session, I’m here to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. I can visit 2-3 times a day to feed, walk, or check in on your pet, ensuring they’re happy and cared for while you're away. I’m flexible with my schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits to fit your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s overnight, daily care or occasional check-ins, I’m here to help! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime routines. I ensure your pet stays safe by using secure leashes for walks, monitoring their behavior, and avoiding risky situations.
“You couldn't ask for a better sitter to take care of your fur-child than Sol. She was responsive, thoughtful and most importantly really adores my pup. Highest recommendation 💯”
“Ema is fantastic! She was so sweet to my dog and amazing with communication. She sent photos multiple times per day and was always quick to respond. I’ll be booking her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.
“My first time using Rover and we booked Tory for a 2 night boarding last minute for my dog Willow. We were worried about her being sad while we were gone, but Tory did such a wonderful job taking care of her! She kept us updated with many photos and it was obvious they were having a good time together. She made sure Willow was comfortable with her toys and Willow felt so comfortable she cuddled with her which is a pretty big deal for her. She took her to the beach and they had a great time! She even got Willow to eat and sometimes Willow will refuse to eat when we leave her with my family and we aren’t around. Overall I’m happy we put our trust in Tory and I would highly recommend!”
“Adela was wonderful! She was very accommodating with our busy schedule while visiting family in Santa Barbara. Our dog Lena enjoyed her time with Adela and her sweet dog Larry.”
“Robert was great. He took care of our pups as one of his own, which was reassuring for us. Sent photos, was flexible with our schedule and was super proactive. Thanks for watching our dogs!”

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 Capitan home-away-from-home, 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 Capitan.
<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 Capitan 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 , 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 .
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.
