“Parisa was awesome! She was very helpful through every stage of booking and even after boarding. She was great about giving updates throughout the day which really made me feel comfortable about leaving my pup with her! I will be requesting Parisa every time I go out of town!!”
“Kathy was great. She has a nice home in a safe walkable neighborhood. She was flexible, responsive, and just very sweet and kind. She sent lots of updates on Morty and he was his usual happy self after his stay with her. Highly recommend and will repeat.”
“Joel and Jessica were great! Douglas was extremely happy with them and was clearly comfortable and content when we picked him up. Joel even took the time to meet us in person beforehand with his Dog before we left Douglas with them. They gave us updates and took the time to make sure our dog was happy in their home. We would use them again!”
“Sarah and Noah couldn’t have made things easier for us! They made us feel so comfortable leaving Leela for a few days and were so great to send pics while we were away. They made her feel right at home and couldn’t have been nicer. Big shout out to Ian for being on belly rub duty and giving us the cutest report card to come home with!”
“Our pups know them so well. Our pups aren’t scared or shy to enter their home. They’ve welcomed our dogs just like family. We always return to the same sitter all the time. Thank you Ly and family!”
“Kenzie was a wonderful caregiver for Buddy and Cody. She provided excellent care, sent me updates, pictures, and payed close attention to their needs. She gave them lots of love, took them for daily walks, and provided stimulating experiences. I will definitely request her for future sittings.”
“Once again had an amazing experience with Bennie & Jennie. Received lots of photo and text updates so we knew how both of our cats were doing during our short weekend trip. Even with one of our cats taking a while to get comfortable being away from us, we knew they were both well taken care of during their stay.”
“Couldn’t be happier with the Christine and Zach’s pet sitting service. Very flexible in scheduling, empathetic in understanding of my rescue dog’s separation anxiety and diligent in comfort and care. Provided regular updates and lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“We love Candi! She is so good with our puppy and truly treats her like one of her own dogs. Meadow gets lots of love, attention, walks and loves playing with friends while at Candi's house. We also receive a lot of pictures and videos so we can see her while we are away. It's so nice being able to enjoy ourselves on trips knowing Meadow is in such great care!”
“Rebecca was great with my senior dog Riley. She is a very attentive sitter and caters to your pet’s specific needs. Riley came home happy and tired from all the attention and outside time he had during his stay.”
“Grateful they were able to accommodate us last minute! My dog is a gentle giant and they kept him safe for us for the night, I loved getting picture and videos. Thank you!”
“Jenni took excellent care of our pup and kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He came home happy, clean, and well taken care of—it was clear he had a great stay with her! Jenni was very responsive and communicative from start to finish and was overall a great sitter. We would definitely use her services again!”

“Yvonne was caring and very sweet with my pup. He is only 3mo old and needs a lot of attention, which he most certainly received at her house. I will 100% ask her to look after my pup again!”
“This was our second stay, and once again it was a 5-star experience for our senior dog, Petey. The biggest compliment we can give is that he has absolutely zero anxiety when we drop him off, which hasn’t been the case with other sitters we’ve used in the past. It’s clear he’s comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him, we’ll definitely be back!”
“Cortney and her family took such great care of our pups. We appreciate the daily updates and pictures so much. Would definitely have her and her family watch our dogs again!!”
“Helen was more than perfect. She sent photos, texted me, and followed up to make sure I was comfortable as it was my first time being away from Archie. I would 100% trust her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Modena
Rich and Brenda were an awesome team with our two doodles! They are very communicative, sending pictures and videos often of the dogs activities. They are active and took our dogs on walks every day while sending screen shots of the activity and path. They played ball with our dog who lives to keep fetching every day. They faithfully administered medications as our one dog has issues w ear infection. And most importantly they really did care for them as if they were their ones dogs, and had lots of fun and love doing it! I would highly recommend them for your dog care.
Parisa and Sam were wonderful with Benji. Immediately after messaging her to see if they were available, she responded promptly. They were gracious enough to take our dog with little notice after a family member could not watch him when we were going on vacation. You will feel comfortable and assured with their care because they take your fur baby in like one of their own. They asked about his diet, his habits and explained everything well so we could leave without any worries. They are very experienced dog lovers and understand them so well. Before even an hour after dropping off Benji, they sent me a video of him learning basic commands, ie lay,stay,stand with their own sweet dog, Coco. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their Fur baby to be with someone like family.
Xier and her family were perfect for my Chipette! She provided me with updates throughout the day so I had peace of mind knowing Chipette was also having fun with her play date! She came home exhausted, which tells me she had so much fun playing with Copper all weekend. Xier was flexible and responsive throughout Chipette’s stay, I would 100% book again!! We love Xier and Cooper! 🫶🏽 Thank you!!
Another successful long weekend with KAIRO! ❤️ Carolyn took such great care of him all weekend, and when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating. All of the pictures she sent were wonderful and made me so happy to see KAIRO having such a great time, staying active, and clearly being well cared for. I truly appreciate Carolyn and Brian and the love and attention they give him every time. Thank you both so much for another wonderful stay! I’m so grateful to have such a reliable and caring home for KAIRO. 🐾❤️
Chaslyn was so flexible with our scheduling which we appreciated very much. She was great with Winnie and gave us a lot of reassurance as it was our first time boarding her. Winnie has her own quirks but was able to make herself comfortable and at home with Chaslyn. Upon meeting Chaslyn, Winnie was already following her towards her house. She also sent us update photos throughout. We appreciated Chaslyn very much!
Danny was amazing with Dice! I needed a last minute booking and he responded promptly. He shared photos and videos during the day and followed all the feeding instructions. He took him for walks and played fetch. Will book him again for future stays. Dice loved him and I feel very comfortable leaving Dice with Danny!

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.
95% of sitters in El Modena 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 Modena 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 Modena.
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 Modena. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Modena 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.
