“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Erin is a very loving doggy sitter. I can go away and feel my dog is in good hands. Erin sends two updates daily along with pictures. She has 2 dogs, who my dog gets along with just fine. I highly recommend Erin”
“I went to Italy for my birthday and Lety was nice enough to accommodate Duke. Duke stayed with Lety, but this time for over a week and he was so happy to be back at her place! Lety is the best!!! And I will definitely be rebooking again! You won’t be disappointed! Lety made her place feel like home for Duke. Duke also enjoys her puppy Mason, they do so well together! Book with Lety! I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Victoria was a great host for my two crazy little dogs. She helped us get booked on short notice and provided daily updates throughout the stay. We are already rebooking with her for our next two trips.”
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“Bingsu had a great time at Esther's home during her 4-night stay and I will definitely return for future boarding services. I decided to book with Esther after reading so many great reviews and I was not disappointed! From the very beginning, Esther was very communicative and transparent. On our meet and greet, she kindly opened her home for me to view. Every day, she sent photo updates, and if there were any changes from what was agreed, she would notify me immediately. I never had any concerns during my vacation because Esther showed that Bingsu was in great care and safe. I love the fact that someone was always home with Bingsu and that she was able to roam around the home at times. Furthermore, I love how Bingsu was able to receive one-on-one care and attention. This is possible by Esther's commitment to limit the number of dogs she boards so every dog resident has a great boarding experience. Esther's home is very clean. The area around her home is great for doggy walks. She lives near a park and outside her home is a grassy area for quick bathroom breaks.”
“Thank you so much for such wonderful care for our Miss Appa! It was so nice to relax at our out-of-town event and see the pics/videos of her getting walks and play times. And that was so nice of you to sleep down on the couch with her. She is a lucky dog!”
“Another great stay with mike. Knomi always comes home wiped out from all of the great exercise he gives her. He treats her so well and take such good care of her and feel so comfortable having him watch her. Thanks again mike for taking care of her baby. ”
“Serena is amazing! She is so attentive and communicative, you’ll feel totally safe leaving your beloved pet with her. We will be asking her to watch Turner for any future trips!”
“Sherri is single handedly one of the best dog lovers I’ve ever seen. She is extremely professional and she loves my dog like it was her own. Thank you so much Sherri! My doggy has a second home.”
“Bari and Sonny took incredible care of Pechey! I got the sweetest updates and photos while I was gone. Pechey was so happy and content when I got back. She had a blast and I felt so relaxed knowing how well cared for she was. Thank you!!!”
About: I have owned dogs most of my life from a Doberman pinscher to a chowchow to an Australian cattle dog and a couple cats throughout my life. I love animals! I no longer have our latest family Australian cattle dog who was with us for 17 years and miss being around animals. I am an independent contractor in real estate so I can set my own hours. I’m very flexible! I love to get out and walk a lot for exercise for myself as well! I give them lots of love and attention that they need. Play with them and make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well fed at their eating time
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“I had an excellent experience with Irina while she boarded our puppy, Kendrick, in her home. She was extremely communicative and kept me well informed throughout his stay. Irina noticed a few small sores on Kenny, reached out right away, and—with my approval—applied medication to make sure he was comfortable and healing. This stay happened while I was recovering from major surgery, so having someone so attentive, responsible, and caring was a great relief and this assurance helped in my recovery. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Irina with Kendrick again. Highly recommend!”
“Ghost was so well taken care of and loved on his stay with Zariyah. We got to enjoy our trip out of town without worrying about him having fun. She sent us daily updates, some days multiple times, and was always prompt in getting back to us. She took care of ghost’s sensitive skin and even went above and beyond what we asked. We will use her going forward!”
“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”
“Gaby kept us updated throughout Sig and Lola's stay and how they were doing. They appeared to be well cared for when we picked them up to take them home. We will certainly consider using her services in the future.”
“Amazing person and dog lover! Would highly recommend working with Alexandra, she took care of our dogs and made us/them feel comfortable. It’s very tough to leave your dogs with someone new, but she made the whole process easy!”

Really appreciate Natalie and Chau for accomodating my request to extend my pet Churro's stay. Our flight home was cancelled and couldn't pick him up in time, and they were very supportive and guided me through the process of getting a new booking. Highly recommended.

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 Counsman 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 Counsman.
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 Counsman 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.
