“It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous about finding the right person. From our very first message and setting up the meet-and-greet through to picking up our dog, Jade, Elyssa was friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving Jade in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We really appreciated the communication and updates, and Jade came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“Our shy dog, Chance, had a wonderful stay with Kimmie and her dogs! She was patient and loving with him. He enjoyed the time with her dogs, too! It was fun and reassuring to receive information and pics of him throughout his stay. Next time I need to leave him, I’ll definitely choose Kimmie again!”
“Taryn took great care of my little Obi for the 5 days I was out of town. She texted me pictures of Obi everyday to let me see he was safe and happy. I will difinitely go through Rover and use Taryn again for Obi. Thank you Taryn and Rover.com”
“Briana took care of our three month old poodle and pug. She was great with them, she gave them baths (when needed), played with them and kept me posted daily on them. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone who is wanting the best care for their babies.”
“Kadyn was a fantastic caretaker for my pup. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She regularly updated me with photos and he seems to have had a wonderful time. Thank you, Kadyn!”
“A+ as always. Numerous updates with pictures from Farin. She alerted me to a rash that was developing on one of my dogs as well that I will be taking care tomorrow. Highly Recommended!”
“Rex had such a fun time with MJ during his first stay, I booked him again for a weekend stay while I headed out of town. MJ was great like last time, very professional and trustworthy. His yard gives Rex (and other dogs) a great opportunity to run around and stretch his legs or just lay in the shade of the large trees. MJ has been very reliable and I highly recommend for dog (large or small). Thanks MJ!”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. My life has been shaped by the companionship of dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Dalmatians, and I treat every guest with the same deep respect and affection I give my own. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision inside the house with me. I pride myself on being highly responsible and will strictly abide by any specific rules or medical considerations you have for your pet. I share my home with two calm, small breed Yorkies: Roxy, my 16 year old senior lady who loves to nap, and Dalton, my 8 year old boy who is a "chill" social butterfly. Dalton gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys a gentle play session. * The Environment: My home is a quiet, low stress "zen" space perfect for dogs who prefer a relaxed atmosphere. * The Yard: I have a large, fully enclosed backyard with a pool. For safety, I never allow dogs outside unsupervised. * Safety First: Because I work from home, your dog will spend their day indoors with me, ensuring they stay cool and comfortable. Services & Specialized Care * Senior Care: I have a soft spot for seniors! I am very comfortable administering oral medications. Please note: I do not offer injectable medications. * Active Care: I love taking pups for walks to break up the day and ensure they get the exact level of affection and playtime they crave. For senior pups that cannot walk long distance, I have a pet stroller for pets 20lbs and below to ensure they don’t miss out on outdoor fun. I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby behind while traveling or working. My goal is to provide you with total peace of mind, knowing your pet is in a peaceful, loving, and safe environment where their unique personality is respected. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work from home Tuesday - Friday, however I can be flexible with drop in visits. Saturday - Mondays I have open so long as I am in town. The sooner I know the better I can plan. I have a fenced in yard and live in a beautiful neighborhood to take your pup out for walks. For senior pups I have a dog stroller to ensure they don’t miss out on getting some fresh air. Pups have free rein in my office and living room to ensure they are comfy during all weather seasons. I can also create your pup if that is yours or your pups preference.
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”

“Great communication and care by Veronica. She sent pictures throughout my dog’s stay. Seems like my dog had more fun there than at home! Would recommend Veronica to anyone!”
“This is the first time I used Scott for my lab and was very happy with him. Scott kept me updated with pictures on how Jupiter was doing. I have finally found a home where I can leave Jupiter and not worry about his welfare. Definitely use Scott again.”

“This was the absolute BEST experience we have had! Remi and Cooper absolutely loved being with Lisa and her two pups. They were able to play, be taken care of, and enjoyed every second of their stay. We highly recommend Lisa!”
“We absolutely love leaving our boy with Kendra and her fam! She sends updates and we can always tell Watson is so happy to be there with her! She is an absolute gem of a person and we would trust her with our fur baby any day! 💕🐶”

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.

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 Elm View 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 Elm View 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 Elm View.
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 Elm View. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Elm View 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.
