“My pups are well taken care of by Bailey and her girls. They get tons of attention and I feel very comfortable leaving them whenever I need to skip town. The communication and nightly messages with pictures are a plus!”
“Cheryl is the best honestly , always keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. She’s patient, communicative, and I’ve never had any issues and I will always recommend Cheryl for the best care for your dog .”
“Stacey & Christopher were incredibly responsive and accommodating, and most importantly took great care of our mini goldendoodle. They sent frequent updates and photos, and our dog was clearly comfortable with them. Highly recommend them to watch over your dog!”
“Jennifer does a great job taking care of our two dogs and she is very accommodating when scheduling picking up or dropping off. They are always happy to stay there when we travel. The dogs come home clean and very healthy. She even gave our older dog his medication twice a day. Would definitely recommend Jennifer as your next pet sitter.”
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“We had a greet and meet before boarding. Her two dogs were very friendly. Julia was really nice and responded quickly to questions. She was also very patient to help Pixie adapt to the new environment. I will check Julia’s availability if Pixie needs boarding in the future.”
“Raquel and her family were amazing. They were very kind and helpful before and during the stay. It was no surprise my dog Merlin had such a good time. I’m so glad I was able to find a sitter I can trust with my pup and plan to bring him back knowing he’ll be in good hands when I can’t watch him.”
“Our pup Cali warmed up to Briana and her family immediately and felt right at home with them. They are very loving, take one dog at time, and have a yard where Cali could run around off leash. They were also accommodating with last minute changes to drop off and pick up times. Thank you Briana for providing a safe and cozy stay for her!”
“I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my goldendoodle. Jean Pierre was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and even extended my booking last minute to accommodate a change in my plans. Most importantly, my dog loved it! In fact, she probably would have been happy staying longer she had so much fun! I will definitely be taking her back to Jean Pierre in the future.”
“Our dog, Betty, fell in love with Darylee and her family during her stay this weekend. It was a serendipitous last minute availability that worked out for everyone! We received lots of pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, and it was obvious she was getting lots of belly rubs and attention! We will definitely be booking with them in the near future!!! =)”
“Whitney was awesome when she looked after my puppy. Got a daily update and the pickup/drop-off was such a time saver. My dog is old and can be picky about her sitters but she came back obviously happy. Thanks :)”
“Shileen, her husband, and son were absolutely amazing with our one-year-old French Bulldog puppy. Her updates and photos throughout the weekend consistently ensured us that Winston was having a great time with her and her family. She maintained prompt communication prior and during the stay. Shileen was also very accommodating given Winston’s unfortunate circumstances of still being in post-op recovery (from his neuter). I would definitely recommend Shileen to others and will definitely use her again if and when the need arises!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of Chase! She treated him like he was part of her own family, and he absolutely loved her and her kiddos! ❤️ She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely trust her to watch Chase again and again! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving and reliable to care for their fur baby! 🐾💕”
“Super grateful and happy with everything Marwa did for our cat while we were on vacation. This was our first long term trip and weren’t able to bring our cat. Marwa provided pictures and videos that comforted us while away. She went above and beyond for our kitty!”
“My pup can be a little anxious with new people and reactive towards other dogs but Danielle was great with him and she knew how to handle his personality. She was very responsive and reassuring, would leave my pup with her anytime!”
“We are so lucky to have Michelle and Steve (and their sweet lab Daisy) for our Tapi. They are so caring and treat our big puppy like their own baby. He gets so much attention and they are always conscientious about keeping their dogs safe. Tapi absolutely LOVES going there and he had such a blast with his 5 night boarding with them.”
“Natalee is super sweet and great! She updated us everyday of Pudding with pictures. She treats him as if he was her own. We had a little mishap during the stay but Natalee was understanding and it all worked out. Thank you Natalee! Would 100% recommend her to everyone!”

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 Descanso 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 Descanso.
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 Descanso 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.
