“Excellent! We were able to meet beforehand to see if our dog meshed well with the other dogs and it went great. Randi and her husband are so kind, professional but warm, and they even sent us pictures and updates of Charlie during his stay. We would definitely rebook with Randi again in the future and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie with his first time with other dogs! It really helped ease our minds being away from him so long due to the holiday. Clean, friendly, communicative, easy to work with, trustworthy service!”
“Lupe and her family were wonderful to my dog Bruno. They took such great care of him and he’s not in. He’s not an easy dog. I recommend them highly. They were kind and considerate and I appreciate everything they did for my dog.”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“I am one of the pickier pet parents and Shanna and her husband are amazing! We live in Napa but will be making the drive to have them pet sit for us as long as they will have us! :)”
“Jessica was incredible!! Twitch came back rested and calm, Jessica provided pictures and updates nearly everyday . We enjoyed our vacation without any stress knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would definitely board with Jessica in the future! Thanks again!”
“This was my dog’s first time in a new home, and Marilu made me feel completely at ease. She took so much time and care to make sure my dog felt welcomed and comfortable. I truly appreciated the daily updates and photos—seeing my dog so happy and relaxed meant the world to me. Marilu has such a kind and loving soul, and her two dogs are some of the friendliest I've ever met. She did an amazing job, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter. She's awesome!”
“Another successful rebook with Carrie and Brad! They are amazing this is our second stay with them, I’ve never been worried about Mason when he’s stayed with them, my mind is truly at ease. Thank you for being awesome!! Thank you for all you do to keep our fur babies safe and loved while we are away!!”
“Greta was so happy to see Achara when we dropped her off! Achara was very responsive and sent regular photos and updates. She was also very accommodating when our flight got delayed.”
“Marya was great. Communicated since day one. I can tell our 11 month old Frenchie “Buster” had a great time at her house. She sent pictures to us throughout the day showing us how he was playing with other dogs that they had there. Buster was exhausted by the time we picked him up. Would highly recommend Marya with your dog/s. Will be taking him back next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Adrienne watched our copper for a few days. She was absolutely amazing with updates and pictures. Our pup looked just so happy as if he was at home. We had a met and greet and her pups are so sweet that there was no issue when they met copper. All pups got along well. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I’d most definitely recommend her. She will make sure. Your pup is taken care of.”
“We love Kathy and her family! Excellent care for our fur babies, we know they are taken care of when they stay with her. Daily pupdates and pictures which we love! We will continue to have our pups stay with her forever! Words cannot say enough about our experience. Super trust worthy, knowledgeable, and caring. Thank you Kathy :-)”
“We were very happy that Luna and Loki were well cared for and that they adjusted well to Brandee and her house. We will keep her in mind the next time we need a sitter. Thank you much, Brandee.”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Was really happy with Reginay and would book with her again. I’m always nervous to leave the babes with someone new, but she took in all my instructions for my very old dog and sent pictures to keep me updated. I felt like they were safe with her. Def recommend.”
“Our dog Cocoa had a wonderful stay with Sabrina! It was our first time leaving her with someone new overnight and it couldn't have been easier. Sabrina sent pictures of Cocoa hanging out and messaged me to let me know how things were going. Sabrina is great with dogs!”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”

Jacqueline was amazing. We used her for a 5 day booking and was so at ease with her communication and love for my Luna. She took such great care of my pup , sent pics and updates daily . I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Jacqueline , my Luna loved her time with you and your family.
We had such a wonderful experience leaving Bruno for a week! They treated him like he was one of their own from the moment he arrived. They sent us regular photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and they were always communicative and easy to reach. It was obvious that Bruno was happy, loved, and well cared for. They even included him in their Father’s Day family visit, which meant so much to us because it truly showed he was treated as part of their family and not just as a dog they were watching. We couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend!
I had a fantastic experience with Emmi! She took exceptional care of my pets, Bubba and Brookie, during their stay. I truly appreciated her frequent communication; she sent me pictures and updates that showed just how much my pets were enjoying their time with her and her family. It's clear they were well-loved and happy in her care. I will definitely choose Emmi every time I need pet sitting in the future. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Elmira home-away-from-home, 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 Elmira.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Elmira 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 , 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 .
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.
