“Clara was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and communicative throughout the entire stay. I felt completely at ease knowing Mello was in such good hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! I loved receiving the daily updates and photos, they gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was always super quick and helpful, and I really appreciate the attentive care!”
About: Experience with All Temperaments Daily Photo & Video Updates: You’ll always know your pet is safe and happy Genuine animal lover and careful n caring Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I usually do sittings when I’m not busy with work or have other things going on. I always make time out of my day to take my pets out for a walk morning or night they seem to enjoy it a lot At home, I care for my pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that meets both their physical and emotional needs. I stick to consistent routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, because I know structure helps them feel secure.
“Such a lovely family, they took very good care of our dog and kept us updated along with pics multiple times a day. Our dog was looking happy when we picked him. Highly recommend Yu-Shu.”
“Kosar was a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of our dog, including multiple daily walks and frequent photo updates. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Thank you so much Shipra for taking such good care of Fresco and making him feel like home. I would totally recommend her if you are looking for a home away from home for your fur baby. Loved her family and how they all bonded with Fresco. She took care of every small details we mentioned and kept us updated with his pictures.”
“Svetlana always takes amazing care of our Luna! We know that Luna loves staying with her and is treated like part of the family. She sends regular updates and has been extremely accommodating with our schedule.”
“Got daily updates from Dakota about my dog plus pictures. I really liked that he was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand since he does own a dog himself and he took his dog out to meet mine too to see if they would get along. My dog Angel came back happy and clean (she didn’t freak out and have an accident in her crate). Dakota was also really easy about drop off and pickup times which I really appreciate because I have 4 kids and my life is always ad hoc and on the go, plus I was late to pick up Angel and he was still very cool about it. Dakota, Jaclyn and their young child are a lovely family. I have no qualms with booking them again!.”
“This was the second time Yanhong dog sat Mushu. She took really good care of her. She sent lots of pictures and updates which was very comforting since Mushu was with her for a week. We’ll definitely book with Yanhong again.”
“She’s the best caretaker! She looked after my kitty like her baby! I am super glad i found Ming here. I wish her all the very best and happiness! I would for sure recommend her to all. She was amazing at response and made sure she sent me enough pictures and videos to make sure i feel good about my Minnu. Thank you Ming for being an amazing host to my kitty! He misses you and the girls and sends loads of love for being there for him. Thank you and 100% if i have to do this again I’ll have you take care of my cat in the future. Thank you once again. You & girls be the bestest!”
“Lili and Matt were amazing, and my pet Chiku had wonderful time. They provided daily updates and made a wonderful video “a day in Chiku’s life” which was heartwarming. Will surely recommend them and will be returning to host Chiku again in future.”
“Hong is truly an amazing person. It's hard for me to fully put trust into someone to care for my 16yo Shiba that I've had for 15 years. After some awful boarding experiences elsewhere, Hong has given me hope to be able to be away and not worry about Boost. She would send messages to me throughout the day and it definitely put my nerves at ease. When we picked him up, he whined the whole car ride home!! He didn't want to leave. If that doesn't tell you how much of an amazing time he had with Hong, I don't know what else to tell you. THANK YOU MILLIONS, Hong. I am so grateful to have found you.”
“An took great care of our labradoodle during an overnight stay. She was prompt during our communication which made scheduling the appointment straightforward and provided frequent updates (with photographs) on Chaaya throughout her stay. Chaaya seemed happy when we went to pick her up, which was most important to us.”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dougherty
Yanhong did a great job of caring for our dog with sensitive health needs and strict medication schedule. She made sure he was fed, safe, and happy and clearly cares for dogs. She communicated clearly with frequent updates and photos and is willing to ask for clarification when there’s something uncertain. Fantastic care. We’re so grateful!
We haven’t had much experience with Rover and was a little nervous about it, especially because our dog Emi has separation anxiety and resource guards. But, Tina was great with Emi, and Emi seemed to have a great time exploring and sniffing around the backyard! We also love all the photos and updates she sent throughout the day. Would definitely recommend!
Yin and Qi were amazing to Penguin! It was Penguin’s first time away from us for a long stretch. We receive daily updates with photos. Every photo or video Penguin is smiling/sniffing, having a great time. They take him on 5 walks a day, play with him and cuddle time. All the things Penguin enjoys! Thank you!
We had such a great experience with Clara and her cute shih tzu Diego! This was our first time boarding our dog, so we did not know what to expect, but it exceeded our expectations! Clara watched our 11 year old senior little terrier-mix for 7 days and took such great care of her. She kept us updated throughout the week with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She were also incredibly generous to share Diego's food with our dog on the last day. We really appreciated how caring and attentive Clara was. We would definitely recommend Clara and would love to have her watch our dog again! 🐶❤️
Tahoe had a great time with Simran! He was very comfortable and happy during his stay, and when he came back home, he looked relaxed and really happy. Simran was extremely diligent about sending us timely updates along with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Tahoe was well cared for and given lots of love and attention. We really appreciated how responsible and communicative Simran was throughout. We would highly recommend Simran to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter!
We seriously couldn’t have found a better person than Ruchi to watch our dog. From day one it was clear that she was super kind, caring, reliable, and really on top of things. She sent us pics and updates the whole time we were gone, which made us feel so much better. Bubbles came home happy, chill, and obviously well looked after. Ruchi gave lots of attention, walks, and stuck to Bubbles normal routine. You can just tell how much she loves animals and the way Bubbles fondly said goodbye to her before he came back home. We’re so thankful for the great care and would 100% recommend Ruchi to anyone looking for a caring and solid dog lover. I will make sure Bubbles stays with Ruchi again when we travel in the future and can confidently state that this has been Bubbles best stay away from home.
I knew our girl would be in great care after our meet and greet with Ashley. As soon as I pulled up to the house for drop off SamiJo was ready for her visit. She ran straight to Ashley. Ashley is responsive, caring, and loves dogs. She sent me a few photos of our girl during her stay, which made me really happy. We will be booking Ashley in the future. Thank you for caring for our girl.
Sneha was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout our trip and regularly sent us updates about Milo, which we really appreciated. She has a great personality, and her experience and comfort with dogs clearly show. Her dog, Leo, is also very sweet, and it was great knowing Milo had a friendly companion to hang out with during his stay. Milo seemed to have a great time at her place, and we felt confident that he was in good hands. We would definitely book with Sneha again!
We had a great experience with Rachel and Jason. They were very prompt in responding to our questions, and the booking process was smooth from start to finish. Although we didn’t get a chance to see the home where they board dogs, our dog came back happy, so I’m sure he had a wonderful time.
I’m so thankful we were able to have our cavapoo, Roxi, stay with Dakota and Jaclyn while we were away. They were super responsive and did a great job of keeping us informed and sending cute pictures daily. It was wonderful to be reassured that our pup was in great hands for the week. I would absolutely book with them again to watch Roxi and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attentive and caring environment for their dog!

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 Dougherty 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 Dougherty.
<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 Dougherty 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.
