“Bonnie was very sweet and accommodating for our last minute request! My dog had a great time, you could tell he was very comfortable with her family. she kept us up to date with pictures and messages and I really appreciate that! We will book again, thanks Bonnie!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life! I grew up caring for many animals…cats, dogs, fish, quail, chickens and a rabbit. I currently have 3 dogs and a tortoise. I can’t imagine life without the love of animals! I have a lot of experience with puppies and senior dogs with medical needs. Since I work from home, I am available during most work hours. I am also a full time mom, so I’m typically unavailable during school drop-off and pick-up times, but otherwise flexible availability. I would love to spend time with your pet in whatever capacity you need. I can walk, play fetch, take to the park, or just sit and cuddle. I can feed, bathe, and distribute medication. I am able to just stop in, or stay in your home for a number of hours, but am not able to stay overnight.
“Kathy and her Husband were great! We have never boarded dog and we’re little nervous. We did a meet and greet and felt so comfortable with sending our girl for 3 nights. They updated with photos daily which was so nice. Their house and dogs they have were very friendly. I would highly recommend their service. I will for sure be using them and only them! Thank you so much!”
“Cindy was an amazing host to our Riley girl! I appreciated the communication, time taken to walk her and give love. Riley was a happy girl and we are happy parents. We’ll be coming back in the future. Highly recommended!”
“We are SO appreciative of Tracey for taking our last minute requests to watch our Boogie boy. Both of his stays have been amazing and he comes a happy guy! We love that our pup has a sweet companion like Bentley (Tracey’s dog) when he stays who appears to share all his toys, treats and his family’s love and attention. Being able to relax and not stress when away, knowing Boogie is in good hands, is priceless ! We hope to continue to use her services again and again in the future.”
“Dipankar and Nagma were wonderful with our 2-year-old GSD. They kept us updated with photos all day and gave us a full report at pickup. Our dog clearly loved them—he even tried to follow Nagma back inside when we were leaving! An amazing experience. Thank you both!"”
About: Married couple with two helpful teens and a really cool Siberian Husky. My background working with animals includes the Kauai Humane Society where I spent over a decade caring/training and assisting the Vet clinic. I worked independently doing in house visits and I also boarded pets in our home. I can administer meds and have experience with injections. I will not board more one dog unless it is part of your pack. Your pup or pups will be exclusively with Kano only. I work from home. Between my husband and I we are always home. We do not leave dogs outside unattended or alone. We would provide 24 hour care in our quiet gated neighborhood. Fenced yard with artificial grass for potty. We will always supervise your best friends and treat them like family. We always supervise Kano when he is outside. Walks are a must for our Husky so if your pup is willing Kano is a go.
“Fantastic experience! Ms Punam was a great communicator and their setup was great. My pup was very happy and the family was great! They sent me status photos during my dogs stay. Will be booking again soon. I’m glad I found them!! Deanna”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, adaptable approach and experience with both puppy training basics and senior pet care. I'm reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time and am off during the summers and holidays, which allows me to spend a lot of quality time at home. I am typically out of the house for only 3–4 hours at a time, so pets are not left alone for long periods. I truly love animals and am actively involved with a nonprofit rescue organization, so caring for pets is something I am very passionate about. Their well-being, enrichment, and daily needs would always be a priority in my home. If your dog is not used to being around cats, I do have an in law unit (where my mother in law lives) that I can put the cats in during your dogs stay. This is also the case if I happen to be fostering a cat during the time of your dogs stay. I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as a walking trail close to our house for regular walks and enrichment. Pets receive supervised outdoor time, exercise, play, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Because I am only out of the house for short periods (3–4 hours at most), pets are not left alone for long stretches. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), crate routines, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I provide mental stimulation through toys, basic training reinforcement, and interactive play. I try to maintain their established routines to reduce stress and ensure consistency. Clean water, a tidy feeding area, and lots of love and attention are always part of my standard care.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I fill in for my daughter when she is on vacation. We also have 3 dogs, 4 birds and a cat in home now. Can’t ask for a more rewarding job. Animals just fill our lives with joy and love. I help my daughter with pet care in home and feel this would be a good fit for me. We have a well fenced and secure home for pets. Double gated entrance so dogs cannot get to the front door. Our animals get along well with others.
About: I am a high school English and Theatre teacher. We love our pets and treat them like family! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and make sure they get a lot of attention. I have a knack for understanding dogs’ body language and individual needs. Our family dog is a Frenchi named Louis. We have taken care of all sizes of dogs with various energy levels as well as had cats over the years. I love nature walks with dogs and like to make sure they are living their best lives. Cats get snuggles and playtime too! Pets are family! I can do early morning or evening walks on weekdays and anytime on weekends. During Summer break, I am pretty open daily except for a couple trips. I have a fenced yard with a pool and lots of toys.we live about a 15 minute walk from the dog park and attend often with Louis.
About: I love animals. I have 2 fun loving French Bulldogs who loves to play. The dogs have access to a fenced backyard with plenty of space to play. I am very flexible and can work around your schedule. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. Will have access to backyard. I keep the sliding door open. I will supervise at all times. Let me know your needs. Fun, loving, home. Will treat your pets as I'd they were mine. I have a large fenced backyward with plenty of space to play. Will provide daily pictures and/or videos of your fur baby. I may ask you to bring crate depending on how many dogs I am caring for.
“Cheri was wonderful to my Beni. It was his first time staying with someone and Cheri made him feel right at home. She cuddled with him and loved him like her own. She kept me updated on how he was doing which put me at ease being away from him. So happy I found her.”
“Alexis is great and she has done a great job with the facility, but to be clear: this is a boarding kennel in a parking lot. Our hound was very comfortable and seemed happy. Check out the photos and description carefully -- I'm used to booking homes on Rover, so I was surprised to find a boarding facility when I arrived. Just be aware of what you're booking. It's going to be a better price to book well in advance with her business directly and pay for walks as an add-on. We were happy with it as last-minute booking for a holiday weekend, but it wasn't what we're used to.”
“From the Meet and Greet with Preetika and her husband, I knew that our morkiepoo would be cared for and safe. They were accommodating that I got to bring our dog’s big doggy playpen to their home. Our dog got along with her Shitzu who was a calm presence to her. Kaley settled in after a day of staying with Preetika for her week long stay. We appreciate her caring nature and won’t hesitate to use Preetika again in the future.”
“Thank you, Kim & Chris, for taking such great care of our little Mazzie. I have terrible anxiety leaving our rescue pup. But with your loving care, all of my anxiety went away knowing that Mazzie would be well cared for. We look forward to booking with you again.”
“Monisa and David were top-notch dogsitters for our 10 yr old, 20 lb., Yorkie mix, Cody. Monisa kept us informed throughout our absence, and we never worried about Cody. He loved their doggy door that led to their large, grassy and shaded backyard. We hope to book with Monisa and David in the future.”
“Carlos and his wife cared wonderfully for our two little girls. I was so hesitant to travel without them, but I knew plane travel would be so stressful for cats. Carlos regularly sent updates and pictures, letting us know how they were doing and how they were settling in. I am so glad they had fun at Camp Carlos while we were away, it was definitely much better for them then being boarded at a facility where they would be caged all day. He was flexible and super easy to work with to boot. Thank you Carlos for caring so well for our kitties while we were away!”
“Highly recommended. We went on a week long trip overseas and it was our dog, Yuni’s, first time being watched by anyone else. And Yuni was super comfortable. Jingxian/Angel sent us pictures everyday to give us peace of mind that Yuni was safe and comfortable. As the days went on, so did Yunis comfort level. The pictures evolved from just walking to playing. 10/10 would recommend!”

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.
94% of sitters in Discovery Bay 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 Discovery Bay 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 Discovery Bay.
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 Discovery Bay. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Discovery Bay 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.
