“Ali was nothing but amazing! She kept us up to date with photos and videos daily. They loved her big back yard and playing with the other pups. Will most definitely use her in the future!”
“I really appreciated all the updates throughout Hunnie’s stay; every walk, playtime, and feeding with lots of photos! Deborah was also very accommodating after some last minute travel changes on my end and was able to take care of Hunnie for an extra night. She came home happy! Would definitely book with Deborah again. Thank you!”
“Jeanette was fabulous with Beau, especially given a challenging transition. She is caring, conscientious, and very communicative. She kept me well informed, advocated for Beau’s needs, and handled everything with professionalism and heart. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend her.”
“It was a roller-coaster at first, previous bookie canceled at the last moment so we had to scramble to find another sitter, flight was leaving in 2hrs. She accepted we have never been separated longer than a work day. Anna was/IS great!! She took great care of Aries sent plenty of pix and had us at ease!! Definitely will be booking her again”
“Our dog had such a great stay with Monica and her family! They took great care of him, went on multiple outings (e.h. hikes, beach), and just loved him up. Also their dog was a great and friendly companion. We’d happily have him there in the future!”
“Luis took great care of our dog. He seemed happy in every update I received during our trip.I can tell he really enjoys taking care of dogs and will definitely use him again if the need arises.”

About: I grew up with couple of my own dogs and a lot of other dogs around.spending time with animals is a source of happiness for me. I’m currently working part time and am available random and odd hours. Making room and adjusting my time will not be an issue at all. I can easily create comfortable environment with any pet at the client’s home. I have done this for so many years with my pets and neighbors pet
About: I’ve had pets of my own for more than 30 years and have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve fostered pets for two local rescue organizations and have also volunteered extensively with a well-known local rescue, including at mobile adoption events, screening potential adopters, and conducting home visits. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and care for neighbors, friends, and co-workers over the years. I’m very comfortable caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities, quirks, and routines. With two cats and two dogs of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate additional pets throughout the week, including daytime visits as well as mornings and evenings. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule and routines as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of flexibility in my home to accommodate visiting pets safely and comfortably. My dogs are socialized and crate-trained, and I also have a separate pet room where my cats can stay if needed, so I’m able to keep animals separated when appropriate. I know that every pet has its own routine and comfort level, so I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else that helps your pet feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally happy to follow their usual routine and keep things as familiar and consistent as possible while you’re away.
“Lauren and San are awesome. They took incredible care of Lucy cuddling her and taking her out around town. We appreciated their clear communication and the cute photos we received!”
“Mariah is incredibly kind, warm, responsible, and flexible. She took great care of Bolo and helped maintain our training protocols (which can be a big ask with a 10 month old pup!) She did careful and thoughtful introductions with her doggies, took Bolo on walks, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent frequent updates and photos, so I could relax knowing my little guy was doing alright. Her house is perfect for dogs - she has multiple gates to separate dogs as needed and a big yard for the pups to play. She also lives on a quiet street, so there are not cars zooming by.”
“Sabin did a wonderful job with my dog. It was the first timeI had ever left her with a stranger. She didn’t seem to miss me at all He took her on daily walks, gave her meds and sent me daily pics of her having a great time and becoming part of the family. I also liked that his home was very tidy. I will be leaving my dog with Sabin whenever I need to board my dog.”
“Mariola provided a kind a loving home for our dogs’ first overnight with her. She also provided us with some useful insights into their behavior. She was a clear and easy communicator throughout the process.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets all my life and have 2 dogs of my own. I worked as a Vet Technician for 4 years and now work relief shifts every once in a while. I am capable of going on long walks/hikes, cutting nails and giving medications. Evenings and weekends work best for me. I work Monday through Friday and get off at 4pm, so any time afterwards is best. I can be flexible on weekends. I will always have my eyes on your pets, keeping close to them whether hanging out inside, going on walks or being loose in the backyard.
“Excellent service with our Doxie. We did a meet and greet before the sitting, which showed their interest and passion for sitting dogs. We received regular updates during our dog’s stay. She definitely had her own vacation and I will definitely use Lanette and David again for sitting our girl.”
“Kassie did an amazing job watching Bowser overnight at her place! From start to finish, she made boarding him so seamless and stress-free. She was wonderfully communicative and sent regular photo updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took exceptional care of him—keeping him on his regular feeding schedule, taking him on great walks, and making sure he had plenty of playtime, attention, treats, and toys in her home. Bowser was relaxed, super happy, and clearly felt right at home with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience. I would definitely have Kassie watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!”
“Katie was amazing with our dog Skye. She has a very calm and caring energy and my dog really responds well to that. Katie's communication is great and she is really easy to work with. We loved her cute dog Scout too! I would definitely recommend her services and we hope to user much more in the future.”
“Yagmur and Bauti took great care of Lulu while we were away last week! She sent frequent updates and let me know that our pup had settled in well and was happy. I plan to reach out again next time we're leaving town and would highly recommend them!”
“Luciana and Rob took such good care of our pup. It was clear our dog had a great time. We got pics daily which lessened our anxiety. They clearly know what they’re doing and the dog could tell. Would highly recommend.”

Sunny felt right at home with Lucia, and I couldn’t have asked for him to be in better hands! He was absolutely spoiled in the best way possible, showered with so much love and attention. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for while I was out of the country. He couldn’t have been happier or healthier when I got back. I’m so grateful to Lucia and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family! ❤️
Deborah was fantastic, I'm so happy we found her. She took amazing care of our dog, we could tell he was safe and happy and having so much fun. We got pictures all day showing just how comfortable he was and how much he was playing. We will definitely use Deborah again.
I felt very comfortable leaving Linus with Jacqueline. She set my mind at ease immediately at drop off. It was his first time staying with a stranger. Now he has a new friend in Jacqueline. He was cool, calm, and collected when I picked him up after two days. Would book with Jacqueline again.
HIGHLY RECOMMMENDED!!! Lauren and San did an amazing job caring for our little MacGuyver Pomeranian. They took him last minute. We felt they cared for MacGuyver as if he were one of their own. They took all of his detailed instructions in stride and carried out each one of them. They sent videos and pictures throughout his short stay and communicated how he was doing. We will definitely use them again and could not provide a stronger recommendation. We felt MacGuyver was completely safe and sound and we never worried about his care for one moment. Five Stars!!!
Asatur is truly the best pet sitter we could ask for! He takes such amazing care of our dogs, Luna and Pippi, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re with him. He’s incredibly reliable and is always willing to help, even on short notice. One of the things we love most is that he takes care of multiple dogs at once, so Luna and Pippi get to spend their time hanging out and playing with their friends rather than being alone. They absolutely love going to Asatur’s! He’s also incredibly thoughtful and attentive when it comes to their individual needs. He makes sure they’re fed on schedule, gets their medicine right, and genuinely treats them like they’re his own. It’s clear how much he cares about every dog in his care. We couldn’t recommend Asatur more highly. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs, look no further. Luna and Pippi are always excited to see him, and that says everything!
Mariah is incredibly kind, warm, responsible, and flexible. She took great care of Bolo and helped maintain our training protocols (which can be a big ask with a 10 month old pup!) She did careful and thoughtful introductions with her doggies, took Bolo on walks, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent frequent updates and photos, so I could relax knowing my little guy was doing alright. Her house is perfect for dogs - she has multiple gates to separate dogs as needed and a big yard for the pups to play. She also lives on a quiet street, so there are not cars zooming by.
Kaja took in our 5 month old puppy last minute so our family could go out of town for a funeral. Once I chatted with her on the phone, I knew our puppy would be in good hands. It was a relief to have one less thing to worry about. Kaja was incredibly communicative and sent us photos and videos. Would absolutely rebook.

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.
93% of sitters in El Sobrante 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 Sobrante 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 Sobrante.
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 Sobrante. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Sobrante 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.
