“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Cynthia and her family were wonderful with our dog Bruce. I got many beautiful update pictures of him and text updates. It made me feel very confident in the environment he was being cared for in. He looked very happy playing with Cynthia’s other pets. He almost didn’t want to leave. Thanks Cynthia and we’ll be back again!”
“Our dogs love Mario. He has been so great with them. It makes me feel better knowing that they are comfortable in his home and he is taking good care of them.”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tara! Tara was great with our dog, Koda, during a week long stay over the holidays. She was clearly caring and responsible, and followed all of the instructions we provided. Tara was also very communicative throughout the stay and regularly shared photo updates, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love to have Koda stay with her again.”
“Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!”
“Alvin and Ashley were fantastic with our dog, Yoda. They kept us updated with frequent messages, lots of photos, and thoughtful details on how everything was going. Super kind, patient, and clearly very caring—l - Yoda was in great hands. We’d absolutely book them again. Thank you, Alvin and Ashley!!”
“I am very thankful for Yang who took excellent care of Howie! She is very detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. I could quickly tell from the photos that he was having a great time. She was patient as he adjusted to his new space and in no time, it was like Howie was on a vacation of this own ! I would definitely recommend Yang to others. We plan to use Yang again in the future.”
“Arani and Napur took wonderful care of our dogs. They took daily photos, kept in touch daily, and sincerely enjoyed our dogs’ company. Our dogs got spoiled with their company and got along with their own pup, Patches. I’d recommend Arani and Napur to everyone considering puppy care. They are a wonderful couple, kind and caring.”
“I am so grateful to have found Annie as a pet sitter. She is reliable, responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, gave my pets plenty of attention and playtime, and made them feel comfortable and loved while I was away. It’s clear that she truly cares about the pets she watches, and my pets bonded well with both her and her dog Hunter, as well as the other boarded dogs.”
“James did an excellent job with a long-weekend care of my dog. My rescue senior canine has serious human trust and personal space issues. I discussed these in advance with James, and he was willing to accommodate my pup’s needs. The stay went very well, and James communicated with me (pictures) every day. It was clear James cared very much about my pup and made the stay as pleasant and calm as possible for him. I recommend James for pet care and I will use him again when I travel and need a safe place for my canine.”
“My pet was so happy to have Jenisa dog-sit her for a week. Jenisa sent photos with brief notes to let me know how she was doing. My dog came home calm and happy. I highly recommend her services.”
“Julia is lovely and trustworthy, and has a lovely family who provided a happy home for our baby boy while I was traveling. She provided regular photos and updates, and was good about following care instructions. I would love to continue to have her take care of my Frenchie.”
“David took excellent care of our dog Oscar. He provided regular updates with photos at appropriate intervals. This was a long stay of 2 weeks and I appreciate how easy David made the trip for us and for Oscar. We look forward to working with David again in the future. Thank you David.”
“Our experience with Uriel was top! Our 60lb rescue mutt is not used to going with new people and easily gets anxious. Uriel totally responded to our needs. He kindly met us the week prior for a meet and greet. He even walked us through his house so our dog would recognize it when we dropped her off the next week. Uriel was in great communication with us. He responded quickly to our questions and sent us unsolicited updates which we greatly appreciated. Absolutely recommend, thank you Uriel!”
“Julley was very communicative and I had no doubt after meeting her and her two pups that she would be able to provide the care and concern I’d hope for while watching my fur baby. She will be the first person I think of the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Sam was incredible! It was our first time leaving our puppy, and Sam took such great care of him! She sent us pictures and updates at least daily! Will certainly use her services again!”
“Yvonne and Fred were extremely caring to my senior boy Ziggy. He requires patience and special attention and they did just that. I appreciate you both for the follow up texts and pictures. 5 paws/stars excellent care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Granada
Ellen took great care of our dog, Abby! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day, which we really appreciated. Abby needs medication twice a day, and Ellen did a great job staying on top of that as well. We felt very comfortable knowing Abby was in good hands while we were away. Very happy with our experience and looking forward to Abby’s next stay with Ellen!
Oaklea fell in love with Kayla at first sight! Could not have asked for a better sitter. Lots of photos throughout her stay, clear quick communication, and my baby girl was genuinely sad to leave her when I picked her up. Looking forward to booking with Kayla again soon!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
92% of sitters in El Granada 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 Granada 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 Granada.
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 Granada. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Granada 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.
