“I continue to book with Savannah and I just love her energy, she is such a good person and you can tell she is great with dogs. My baby Pockets love her and her family. I can tell he enjoys his time while I’m away working. Thank you so much 🙏🏽💖”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!
“Amy was thoughtful about introducing our pups, taking them on a parallel walk to start the day. She provided lots of updates with photos and videos throughout the day. Rooney had a great time! Excited to have our pups play together again soon!”
“Omolara did amazing! I really trust her with my Doberman Nova. She’s very responsive and flexible! She takes care of all Novas needs and provides many pictures. I definitely recommend!”
“Thank you Deana for taking care of Gigi this past Sat. 5/10. Deana sent me videos and pictures with updates on how Gigi was adapting during her stay with Deana. I appreciated her flexibility with me running behind schedule on the time of picking her up. Thank you again!”
“This was my first time using rover and Elizabeth did a great job with my dog Josie! She was super fast and responsive when I requested the booking. Very thorough with any questions or concerns I had. Very flexible with dropping off and picking up. I could tell that Elizabeth and her family had a great time with Josie and I do not have a single complaint! Overall genuine experience :)”
“This is mudpies 3rd stay and he was comfortable enough to jump in Blanca's car without looking back to tell me bye! Blanca is great with communication and keeping my clingy pup company. I'm very grateful for your availability so mudpie can become more and comfortable away from home. Thank you again!”
“Louisette was amazing with my dogs! I have two big labs and she was very welcoming. We had a meet and greet prior to the stay and she was very accommodating. My dogs felt very comfortable with her and her family! She even sent me pictures throughout the day which was very nice! I would totally recommend her service!”
“I can’t recommend Mariah enough! She cared for my dog, Lexi, with such kindness and compassion. Mariah was incredibly accommodating and responsive, always making sure Lexi’s needs were met. Her extra care and attention to detail really put me at ease. Above all, Mariah’s understanding and compassionate nature stood out. She kept me updated throughout, and her excellent communication made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would happily trust her with Lexi again!”
“Thanks christina you are a great Auntie to my babies thank you again for all you do .will see you Saturday morning for an overnight . You are one of a kind with my babies... And I am so relieved to them with you.”
“Wing is great 👍🏼 Chalee was very happy when he came home. When I take him to the chain dog daycare he comes back scared. So I know he is happy and I love the photos and videos I’m sent throughout the day. I will be a regular customer for sure. 🐶♥️”
“Spectacular dog sitter! I'm usually anxious about leaving my fur baby with a new person, but Sona immediately melted that away by answering questions and providing thorough information about her dogs and day care procedures. Our dog is high energy and Sona did not seem to mind, nor did she mind our last minute booking. And when our dog was nervous about eating dinner (which we told her not to worry about), Sona fed our dog by hand! I am so touched by her incredible care. Today our dog is passed out sleeping from her day of fun.”
About: I’m an animal lover and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have an associate degree in veterinary technology to become an RVT and soon to be a Veterinarian when I’m older. I have a big passion for animals providing love and attentive care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and I would love to give your furry babies the same care and attention I give to my own! <3. I’m currently working part time as a vet assistant at my job. Otherwise I am available most of the time. Although some days can change such as dropping my brother off to school in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a veterinary assistant with an associate degree in Veterinary Technology, I understand the importance of making sure a pet feels loved and safe under my care. In fact, I like to put myself in their shoes and think before I do something. Such as if they ever feel scared when meeting me, I’ll let them smell me and get used to my scent before petting them. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a loving, stress free environment and follow each pet’s individual needs and routines. I will carefully follow the owner’s instructions, provide updates, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

“Can’t stress enough how amazing Caroline is with high stress dogs. Belu had a lot of anxiety when I tried to leave, but she was able to work with him and get him to calm down. Thank you so much.”
“Jake is so chill and flexible. I needed a last minute sitter and was late to both drop off and pick up but Jake was so patient. My pup got along great with his dogs and kids! Meeka had a great time. Thank you again Jake, Meeka will be back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downey
Miguel was amazing with my little girl, Winnie! I felt completely comfortable leaving her in his care and could tell she was in great hands. He was caring, attentive, and someone I truly trust with my dog. I would absolutely go back to Miguel anytime I need someone to watch Winnie. I highly recommend him!
I’m new to Rover, and I’m so glad I connected with Shannon! She was communicative, kind, and just as friendly with me as she was with my dogs. Precious and Kona take a little time to feel comfortable with someone new, and she was so patient with them. I’ll be using Shannon again for my trip out of the country in November. After yesterday, I feel confident I can enjoy my trip knowing my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you, Shannon, for being so kind to all of us!
We will 100% be booking with Ness again next time we are in town. She accepted our last minute booking and was extremely kind / thorough. She stayed in contact with me the entire time and sent multiple photo and video updates throughout our Chewbacca's day care stay with her. This was our first time leaving our rescue puppy with anybody so i was very hesitant, but Ness put my mind at ease. She was so kind and gentle with our fur baby. He enjoyed her and her cat's companionship. A great host. 10/10 recommend.
Nicole is amazing! She was able to take great care of my energetic puppy with no issues. My puppy went calmly to her hands and was very calm when I picked her up. She loved spending her day with Nicole. It seems Lady has a new favorite sitter. I highly recommend her.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Arianna was very attentive and took great care of my dog at all times. She kept me updated in real time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Her home is beautiful and the location is great. I would definitely hire her again whenever needed and highly recommend her.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Downey commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
