“Elyssa and her family were wonderful. They took our boy into their home and treated him just like their own. Elyssa gave us daily updates and pictures. We could not ask for a better place to leave our treasured boy. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. She's the best.”
“Megan was kind, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and really took the time to get to know our dog. Her consistent communication was very comforting, and she quickly built our trust with how attentive and caring she was. We will absolutely be using Megan again.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life — all 40+ years of it. Reading a dog's mood, sticking to their routine, and knowing when something's off is second nature to me, not something I just picked up. And at my age, I'm past the flaky stage: I'm reliable, I show up, I communicate, and I treat your dog the way I treat my own. I'm Kristi, 43, from Sanger, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Right now my days revolve around my two dogs — Mina, a 2-year-old pit bull and shepherd mix who's all energy and very food-motivated, and Skai, a husky, shepherd, and lab mix who is 3-years-old and the mellow one. Between the two of them, I'm used to every kind of dog day: high-energy play, slow couch time, and everything in between. I work remotely for work so it makes it easy to be home with them all the time. Your dog joins our normal daily routine — feeding on their own schedule, walks and playtime, plenty of downtime, and a calm place to sleep at night. I have a yard with room for more dogs, and I can keep your dog separate from mine if that's a better fit — whether they need their own space or just do better one-on-one. I stick to whatever routine you give me, send you updates and photos, and if anything seems off, I call you right away and get them to a vet if needed.
“Babu had a nice stay at Taryn’s place. Taryn and her husband were very friendly and took good care of Babu. They sent us updates and Babu’s picture everyday when we were missing him a lot. We will definitely use them again when we need someone to look for Babu. Thank you once again Taryn.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“Briana took care of our three month old poodle and pug. She was great with them, she gave them baths (when needed), played with them and kept me posted daily on them. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone who is wanting the best care for their babies.”
“Derek was awesome! He was very curious about my Biscuit's needs in order to care for him in the best way possible. He was careful introducing my dog to his. He made sure to send me updates with pictures as I had requested. I will definitely recommend Derek!”
“This was my first time leaving Izzy with a sitter. Iris made it stress free for me! She quickly responded to my check in text messages and sent photos. I will definitely have her watch Izzy again for me.”
“We’ve left our dog, Piper, with Eric a couple of times now and she loves it! He’s great with updates and pics and takes very good care of her. We’re completely at ease about where she’s staying and the care she’s receiving when we’re gone.”
“Barney and Obi had a great time! Jennifer made sure my 12 year old dog Barney have his space and let Obi the 11month puppy run around all he want. Jennifer and the children even took Obi on walks everyday and even went on an adventure in Woodward park. When Obi came back home he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes! Usually the 11month pup has so much energy that I have to always play with him but that night he slept like an angel:) I would give 10 stars to Jennifer and her family. Thank you so much! :)”
“We really appreciated everything she did, she is also very caring and gave updates every couple hours . ? percent recommend her if you want your dog to have a wonderful time!”
About: I have 35+ years experience with all types of animals. I provide different types of services for animals including reiki. I am currently training to become an animal communicator I’m currently working 15 hours a week, 3 hrs at a time. I am home or out walking, hiking or taking my dogs to the park. I have a fenced yard, 2 dogs and a cat to keep your fur baby company. My dogs are crate trained. My dogs also know their commands and I have no problem teaching your pet. Owning a Sphynx has taught me how to funny groom and care for a cat.
“We were 100% delighted with our dog’s stay! Every other time we’ve tried a kennel or house sitter, he’s been depressed and anxious, making everyone miserable. Not this time! He was excited to see us but was calm and peaceful upon return.”
“Victoria was very easy to work with. Even let us come at 11 at night! to pick up our girls a little early. She was excellent with daily updates as well. I recommend her as a sitter. :)”
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Centerville
We were worried about leaving our rescue for the first time because we thought she might think she was left. We were happily surprised that she enjoyed her stay. Becky texted us during our stay which made us feel so much better about leaving her. I’m not sure she would rather have stayed permanently with Becky! We definitely will use her again.
This was our dog’s first time with a sitter, and they were absolutely great. They took the time to figure out his needs, made him feel comfortable, and kept us updated the whole time. Communication was excellent, and we felt confident knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Becky took such great care of Rex while we went out of town for a week. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated with messages on how he was doing and that all was well. Rex was clearly happy and relaxed when we picked him up which speaks volumes to the care and attention he received from Becky and James while we were away. Our thanks to you both for a wonderful experience for Rex (and us). I highly recommend Becky for your boarding needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Centerville 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 Centerville 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 Centerville.
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 Centerville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Centerville 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.
