“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I've spent my life caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own, and although my beloved dogs have passed, my love for animals has never changed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I'll provide the same patience, affection, and dependable care that I'd want for my own pets. Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I currently care for my cats and have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality, and I enjoy providing playtime, affection, and dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I'm a full-time special education teacher, and my husband is also a lifelong animal lover who is home during the day. While I will always be your pet's primary caregiver and point of contact, having another caring adult in the home means your pet will enjoy extra companionship, attention, and a safe, loving environment. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and explore safely under supervision. I also have a nearby park, perfect for walks and extra exercise. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Alynette did an absolutely amazing job caring for and watching over my fur baby, Stitch. She was attentive, compassionate, and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Stitch was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during his stay. I highly recommend Alynette to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care, and I will definitely be returning again in the future!”
“Sheena took such good care of Mango. She went above and beyond most Rover hosts we have asked to take care of Mango in the past. She sent us so many videos and photos of Mango to us. Our Mango loved her kids and really enjoyed her time with them. In addition, it was a rainy day and Sheena washed and dried Mango’s sweater and also made sure Mango was dry from the rain. Would highly recommend and would book again.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover, big, small, young and old. I’ve rescued several dogs so I know how uniquely special all dogs are. Looking to stay active incorporating my two favorite things, dogs and outdoors. I am newly retired and looking for activities to keep me sharp, mind, body and soul. I have loved dogs my whole life and most love me too. I have a secure backyard, a 12 yr old Maltese named Roscoe. Our days are pretty chill with walks to the park and car rides. If I stay in your home, just let me know what your expectations are and any routines you’d like me to follow.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Annette! She took amazing care of our sweet baby Kenji over the weekend. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with frequent updates, photos, and videos. She truly went the extra mile to make sure Kenji felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
“Jennifer took great care of our girl Bella! I had originally booked for the incorrect date but Jennifer was very flexible and allowed a last minute schedule change! She sent lots of pictures of our baby while we were away & kept us updated. We look forward to booking with Jennifer again.”
About: I love playing with dogs, cuddling & making dogs smile. I’ve raised Nala since she was 6 weeks old and now she is 5 years old. I like training , teaching them to sit, lay down, roll over and maybe even trick training, like giving paw, and spin. I have two energized dogs that keep me on my feet, that I own I care for Nala and king, but I also work from home. I will make sure your dog is really cared for, feeding and playing with them, and if they need any medication that needs to be administered.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
“Bethany was a lifesaver! We needed last-minute care, and she responded right away and met with us quickly to make it happen. Rezzi instantly got along with her sweet pup, Momo, and I received daily photo updates that kept me at ease. Bethany works from home, has a small backyard for playtime, and made sure Rezzi got her daily walks. Rezzi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Bethany again!”
“Tian-Tian was an absolute lifesaver! We found ourselves in a difficult situation when our original dog sitter canceled on us the day before our vacation. We were scrambling to find a sitter who offered boarding and came across Tian-Tian's profile on Rover. Our dog is a rescue and has severe separation anxiety, so we are always nervous about leaving him with someone new. He is also very slow to warm up to people. Tian-Tian was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to have a meet-and-greet within an hour of contacting her. Within 20 minutes of meeting her, our anxious pup was eating out of her hand! We were amazed. It is clear that Tian-Tian has a special way with dogs. She is patient, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with Tian-Tian again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Kay made our littler Layla feel welcome immediately with her gentle voice and kindly manner. The photos that she sent along with her texts let us know how Layla was doing while we were gone. She even let Layla sleep with her! We will definitely have Layla visit with Kay again!”
About: I love pets so much and I have two dogs that I take great care of. Your dog can meet some friends at my place! I work part time so I have plenty of time with your dog! I only work from 1pm-6pm and all the rest of my time is for the dogs! I have a fenced yard and and two small dogs to accompany your baby. I also have a playpen set up just in case we need it
“Outstanding service. Claudia sent me tons of photos everday and it made me feel not terrible about leaving my baby behind because it looked like she was having so much fun. Thanks again.”
About: Dog sat for a few coworkers a few years ago. Dog sat for my coworkers this year for a few weeks at a time. Had a few pet cats growing up as a child. I work dayshift during the week. I usually get off work at 6pm. I’m free on the weekends all day and evening to dog sit and cat sit. I will make sure the pets gets more than enough outside walks. Plenty of play time. I will treat all pets as if they are my own to make sure they are well cared for and safe.
“Allie was an amazing sitter for my 8 month old husky, Mairi. She was very nice and professional. She updated me with pictures and videos all throughout the stay. Mairi looked so happy in every single picture and video and she was so tired when she got home. 10/10”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Channel Islands Beach
Kirsten was absolutely amazing with my Baby Ozzy! She kept me updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. Ozzy looked so happy and well care for, and it was clear that he was in good hands. I truly appreciate the love and care she gave him. I highly recommend Kirsten and would definitely trust her with Ozzy again.
Jennifer was exceptional. It is hard to know how well a dog sitter does, especially if they don’t send updates or photos. But Jennifer took the time to send many photos and updates every day while I was away. I could tell from the photos that my dogs were having a great time and doing just fine. Would book her again!
Alynette did an absolutely amazing job caring for and watching over my fur baby, Stitch. She was attentive, compassionate, and made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Stitch was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during his stay. I highly recommend Alynette to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care, and I will definitely be returning again in the future!
Susanna provided excellent service and communication every day. I would use her service again if I’m around the area again. She provided Penny with comfort while we were away and I would recommend her to anyone who is debating on whether or not to book their dog with Susana.
Gretchen was wonderful! She watched our cat and dog while we backpacked the Channel Islands. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away, and we felt so relaxed knowing they were in a loving home. She walked our high energy husky multiple times a day, which was so great, and she gave genuine love and attention to both our girls. Very grateful for her and will definitely use her services again if we are back in the area! Thank you, again, Gretchen!
Ayana watched my dog for 10 days & did an incredible job! My dog requires medication twice a day & she handled that like a pro. My dog also got along really well with Ayana’s dog & I love that they got to play together in the yard. Ayana is everything you hope to find in a petsitter.

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 Channel Islands Beach 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 Channel Islands Beach.
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 and your Channel Islands Beach 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.
