“Kena always goes above and beyond for our sweet fur babies. We never have to worry and know they are treated like family every time they go over to Kena’s ! Kena is accommodating flexible amazing at communicating. We are forever thankful”
“Lorrie was great. She was quick to respond and was flexible when we needed to change our days. She sent plenty of pictures and videos, showing us that our Phoebe was having a great time with the other dogs and enjoying her freedom on the property. It was like a retreat for our girl! We felt very safe with Phoebe in Lorries care and would love for her to return as needed.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Before Vera, my golden retriever, I had cats my whole life (Kitty, Bugsy, Shadow, and Tiger), along with ferrets, guinea pigs, fish, iguanas, and hermit crabs. Vera was born with partial facial paralysis, and one of her eyes can’t blink, so she needs frequent eye drops to stay comfortable. Caring for her has made me patient, attentive, and confident with pets who need a little extra care. If your pet takes medication or has special needs, I’d be glad to help. While living in the Bay Area, I founded Bay Area Golden Retrievers, which grew to become the region’s largest golden retriever meetup group. I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know how to read them and keep them happy and safe. With a background in video and photography, I love capturing your pet’s personality. Expect plenty of sharp, well-composed photos and updates so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. Feel free to reach out about whatever you need! My schedule is very open right now, so I can be flexible for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care, including short-notice requests and weekends. I love working with animals and want to build this into something long-term, so I take every booking seriously. Since I'm already caring for Vera and my chickens throughout the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I'm happy to keep a regular schedule for recurring clients. I treat every pet's routine, health, and safety as a priority. I'll go over feeding, medication, and any quirks or fears before the first visit, and I follow your instructions closely. Caring for Vera, who needs frequent eye drops, and for my chickens through vet visits has taught me to notice small changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. I'll send photos and updates during every visit, double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and contact you right away if anything seems off or I need a decision from you.
“Jessica watched our 9 week old puppy for 3 days. She accepted the job on a holiday weekend. She has the perfect home and yard with the friendliest dog for our puppy to play with. She sent us pics and videos and gave us such piece of mind. I will definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
“Sarah was AMAZING! She was very communicative and sent many pictures during my kitty's stay. I had to pick up Creamsicle a bit later than planned, and Sarah was super understanding and flexible! Overall, it seemed like my kitty enjoyed his stay with her, and she even crocheted him a little pumpkin hat! How cute! I would definitely recommend Sarah if you are looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like one of their own. :)”
“Monisha was great with Wrex and provided lots of pictures and details of daily activities, including lots of walks. I will book with her again and was very happy with her service!”
About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats, and I have professionally pet sat since I was a teen. My duties have included feedings, walkings, cleanings, medication dispensing, and so on. I currently work at Enloe during the week, and my husband is home during the day to help with all animal needs! We do have a sweet, friendly German Shepherd in the house that gets along very well with all dogs. It is important to me that your pets are safe, fed, walked, and have fresh water daily. I am willing to follow whatever is your normal routine to keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away.
About: Hi, my name is Summer. I am an all around animal lover. I like to spend free time hiking or swimming. I am CPR certified and experienced in administration medication. I am only working part time so I have lots of free time throughout the week and weekends. Early mornings and late afternoons are always free. I always make sure there is fresh clean water and food. I keep any breakable items far from edges. I make sure there is nothing dangerous for pets to chew on.
About: I provide loving, patient care for pets of all ages, with special experience caring for senior pets—slow walks, cozy snuggles, and gentle attention to keep them safe, happy, and cherished while you’re away. I provide loving care with early morning and evening walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s needs, keeping them happy, safe, and loved. In my home, pets enjoy early morning and evening walks, playtime, cuddles, and trips to the park for extra exercise and fun. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, providing walks, meals, play, and companionship while keeping them comfortable and happy in their familiar environment.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 El Camino 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 El Camino 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 El Camino.
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 El Camino. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 El Camino 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.
