“This was Sierra’s first time with Greg—she is usually a little anxious in new situations but settled in very quickly with him. He understands dogs and he knew exactly how to make Sierra comfortable and at ease. He sent us multiple photos every day and updated us frequently. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about how she was getting along. We’ll definitely book Greg again!”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“One of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She took care of my dog in her home like he was part of their family. Sent so many great pictures and updates which put me at ease during my dog’s first stay with Christany and her family. Quick responses. Rebooked already for another stay! We appreciate this warm and loving home!”
“They went above and beyond in taking care of our Tinkerbell, a senior german shepherd with hip problems. They updated us on how she was doing and sent us pictures daily.”
“Believe the hype! Tamara's home is dog-HEAVEN! Her house is full of dog beds, toys, and other cute little doggies for your furry child to play with. Thank you so much Tamara for taking care of our baby. We are already booking her again for next week!”
“Kendra is the best! She is wonderful with our goldendoodle Jessie. I never have to worry about our girl while she is in Kendra's care. Shout out to Chico who is also great host and friend who always makes Jessie feel welcomed!”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“Nancy was perfect! I didn’t worry or fret about my dog’s well being and had a stress free night out away! It was our first time being separated over night. He did great, largely, I’m sure because of Nancy ! He will be staying with her again for sure.”
“I just used Alesya’s dog-sitting service for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took care of my 5-pound, 8-month-old Chihuahua puppy for an entire week and treated her so well. Her home is clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy — the perfect environment for a little puppy. She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My puppy came back happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Alesya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again and again!”
“Julia was very professional with establishing a contract for care, holding a meet-and-greet before the boarding and generally being friendly and responsive to our questions. Ringo had a nice boarding experience, looked happy in the photos that Julia sent daily, and bonded with another family member. The cat patio (catio) is an extra feature where he was able to stay outside in a safe space.”
“Jena was great! Our favorite dog sitter we’ve used in the area so far. She sent regular updates and our senior dog seemed like he was comfortable and having a good time. Would definitely use again.”
“Tracey is absolute gem! She was phenomenal with our dog Waffles, sending lots of pics and videos, taking him on walks, in the pool, giving him lots of snacks and cuddles. We are so incredibly grateful to have found such a loving dog sitter!”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Olesia and her husband! They took incredible care of GG and treated him like their own. Their updates were thoughtful and consistent, and it was so clear how much they genuinely cared for him. GG can be particular, but he warmed up immediately- which says everything! We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We’ll absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Olesia! ♥️”
“Coco took great care of our dog and cat! She is a hidden gem of a sitter. We have tried several sitters with 100+ reviews in the area (far more than Coco at the time of writing) and she is by far the best sitter. She was easy to communicate with, sent daily updates with lots of photos/videos focused on our pets, and genuinely took good care of our pets.”
“Nadya took the very best care of my dog! She was obviously concerned for my dog’s comfort and took great delight in caring for her. My family will definitely be trusting Gracie to her care again.”
“Michael is fantastic with our anxious little doodle. She is always excited to see him and I appreciate his flexibility. He is clearly very knowledgeable and incredibly kind. I would recommend his dog sitting services to anyone.”
“My first time using Rover and was very pleased. Angela was caring and very nice. The home was well kept and cosy for our dog. Will be using again and definitely recommend Angela”

We had such a great experience with Victoria! She took wonderful care of our pup while we were away and stayed in communication with us throughout the entire time. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well cared for. It made being away from him so much easier! We really appreciated how attentive, reliable, and caring Victoria was. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! 🐾❤️
Nancy is a fantastic sitter! She is so attentive and took such great care of Frankie. It was our first time using her services and she made sure that not only I, but my dog, felt comfortable before the stay and during the entirety of it. She’s on top of her communication and I loved seeing how well cared for Frankie was while we were gone. Will definitely work with her again in the future. Thank you, Nancy!
It’s always such a wonderful experience having Nadya watch Oliver! You can tell the whole family really love dogs and Oliver is always so excited to see them! The last stay was for 4 days and Oliver was taken on very long walks in the park every day for multiple times a day. Nadya is reliable, sweet and lovely! Highly recommend!
This was the second time Jennifer watched our Jack Russell and it was an another excellent experience from start to finish! She is exceptionally thoughtful, caring, and kind! We received pictures of our pup throughout the stay and he had the BEST time! Thank you so so much!!!!
We had such a wonderful experience having Koda stay with her! ❤️ Koda can be a little challenging because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving him with was really important to us. She was so patient, understanding, and caring with him, and we could tell that he was in great hands. You can truly tell how passionate she is about what she does. She genuinely cares about the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She also gave us such great advice and helpful training tips that we can continue working on with Koda at home, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Koda was safe, comfortable, and being treated with so much love. 🐾
Great sitter for our little fur pup! Had great communucation, always updated us daily, and gave plenty of pictures to see what our little rascal was up to. Followed any extra instructions given, and gave our dog the attention needed while dealing with a family emergency. Will definitely be using again, and couldn’t recommend more!!! A+++
Yasmith & Jay are a lovely couple! They communicated and sent pictures often and we could tell our dog was getting spoiled! They were extremely flexible with our last-minute booking request, and I truly appreciated that. Our dog had a great time with them and looked great when we picked him up! They even gave him a bath while he was there. If needed, I will be using their services again. I would highly recommend Yasmith and Jay to watch your fur babies! I trust them 100%!
Mariana has a very calming presence, which was great for my anxious Larry dog. She was prompt in communicating and assertive when asking for clarification, which I really appreciated. She sent regular updates/pictures while Larry was in her care for a whole 8 days. Needless to say, he seemed very content when it time to pick him up! I would highly recommend Mariana and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her again!

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 Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights 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 Citrus Heights.
<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 Citrus Heights 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.
