“Jackie is a very caring dog sitter, who worked with my dog Rosie to make her feel comfortable in her home. Jackie kept me informed about how Rosie was doing through commentary, photos & a funny video illustrating how Rosie had relaxed and enjoyed playing with Jackie’s family. I will contact her next time I need dog care.”
“Our dogs stay with Achara went so smoothly! It was their first time overnight and a long extended stay so I was initially nervous to leave them for that long, but Achara’s communication and care were excellent all the way through! Our young one looked to be having so much fun running and playing with Achara’s puppy and our older one looked very happy and comfortable doing her own thing 🥰 We were overall very happy and not nervous once we saw how happy the dogs were in the daily photos and videos that were sent to us. Thanks Achara for a great experience! We’ll definitely be back again!”
“With our permission, mine took knomi to the beach, as usual, she had a blast, he kept us up to date and laughing with great photos and storyline. Some times I wish I was being taken care of by Mike because I think my dog leads a more exciting life that I do while we are away, thank you again Mike!”
“I can't say enough about how positive the experience was. Melissa and her family are super sweet and caring. We arranged to have our dogs meet in advance, which was great, and Melissa took the time to make that happen. My dog took some time to socialize with their other dogs, but Melissa was accommodating and helpful to make sure that process went smoothly. She also sent pictures and video while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”
“Qing was a fantastic pet sitter. Super communicative and I felt at ease the whole weekend. Lilah loved her stay and was active, loved and very appreciative of all the attention she got. Will book again!”
“Haley was fantastic and our pup enjoyed his time with the family. She was very communicative and accommodative to our requests. We will be boarding our pup with Haley going forward”
“Lety is amazing! This was the first time I left Duke overnight and he did so good! Lety made sure to send updates about Duke throughout the day, and each day. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Tracey and her husband Steve are the best! We haven't met any pet sitter like them. They are a genuinely loving, caring, kind and super sweet couple. They took amazing care of Ziggy and Teddy, and treated them with so much love and attention like they're one of their own. We love that Tracey kept us updated with photos which assured us our boys were in the best of hands. We could tell our babies were so comfortable and happy in their home. We are so blessed to have found such a loving couple. We couldn't have found a much better sitter. Thanks sooooo much for having Ziggy and Teddy! Can't wait to rebook our babies in the near future. A+++”
“Ann was very kind and thoughtful, making our kitty feel at home and putting us at ease while we were away. She sent daily updates including some follow-up questions to provide the best care for our kitty. Thank you, Ann!”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Richard was wonderful. He was so fast at responding and took great care of our Penny. Loved the pictures he sent us throughout her stay, too. She was a happy girl with them.”
About: I’m a dog mom to Coco, my sweet mini Goldendoodle, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and caring for a dog’s everyday needs. I’m patient and attentive to little changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, and energy. I’ll take the time to learn your pup’s routine, follow your care instructions, and let them settle in at their own pace. I love animals and I bring the care and attention I’d want for Coco, along with regular photos and updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles into my day. Your pup will have plenty of company and attention, and I’ll follow their usual routine to help them feel at home. I want your pup to feel comfortable and cared for in my home. I’ll follow your instructions for meals, walks, and sleep, keep anything unsafe out of reach, and use a leash for outdoor walks. I have a sweet mini Goldendoodle, Coco, and will arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure our dogs are comfortable together. I’ll supervise their interactions, feed them separately, and give your pup a quiet place to rest. You’ll also receive photos and updates, and I’ll keep your contact and vet details handy.
“Great place, lots of space for the dogs to run and play. Andrew's family is great and super caring. They kept me informed and updated with pictures and news about my dog. Flexible and responsible guys that take care of your pet like their own. I recommend them fully.”
“Leo was really happy to get to stay with Alexis and her family again! It’s fantastic to know that when we leave town for a trip that our golden has a loving family to stay with. Thank you very much!”

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 East Nicolaus 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 East Nicolaus.
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 East Nicolaus 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.
