“Randy is an amazing dog sitter! My pups loved being at his house and warmed up to him immediately. I received pictures everyday too. Randy is my go too dog sitter now. He is fabulous!”
“Stacy was very Accommodating as always. I always feel at ease knowing that my pup is cared for by her. She’s a dog lover and it truly shows. Robin thanks you for all the love and playtime!!”
“Amazing Experience with Damaris! Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more grateful for Damaris and the care she gave to my sweet Cavachon, Bella. Bella is a 5-year-old bundle of energy. Damaris went above and beyond! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a genuinely kind and sweet person who loves animals. Bella warmed up to her instantly, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Damaris's care. Throughout the stay, Damaris kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. Bella had a blast with her, and I could tell she was in loving hands the whole time.”
“Melissa is the best! She gets five stars and we will definitely board with her again! From our first call, to the meet and greet, she took the time to really get to know us and our dogs needs and made the whole process easy . Our dogs loved her immediately. She has a big house, a big yard, and took them on regular walks. We got daily photos and updates and her communication was prompt, responsive, and accommodating. Melissa is a gem!”
“Cheryn was wonderful! So kind, attentive, and caring. She sent lots of pics of my pup and regular updates. My pup loved staying with her, and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands and having fun!”
“Beth was amazing. She immediately adjusted to all of my dog’s quirks and send lots of pics and videos. Bahula was completely at ease with her. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Where do I begin? OK so I’ve never been able to get anyone to keep out Skye because she isn’t people friendly. My best friends come to the house and have been coming to the house since I got our dog and the amount of time she has tried to attack them is insane. It has been very difficult to travel and find someone that can deal with her. A while back I use Rover when she was younger, and after about an hour, she calmed down and allowed the person to watch her. So now that our dog is much older, ehhh it’s worse. So knowing that I needed to take a vacation for eight days, I had no hope. I did not know what to do with her. So I jumped on Rover and went through all the options. I seen Ben’s name five times and kept passing it up, but God kept sending me back to his name. Honestly, it was a reason why. I contacted Ben and begin to have a conversation with him and naturally, I kept getting the aura that he was the right person for our Skye. Oh boy was I correct. On the day of drop off, I was super nervous for Ben. I warned him a lot of times that she may try to attack him and to just be prepared and be patient. He has nothing but patience. He believed in his ability to be able to handle her before he even met her. His calm presence is nothing short of amazing. So when we arrive to his home, I slowly took Skye out out of the car and began to walk to Ben. I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous. Skye sniffed around his yard with no aggression and not one time tried to attack Ben. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Been allowed her to freely come to him. He calmly greeted her and instantaneously, they bonded. This is something that has never been able to take place with my Skye. For this, I am giving him 1 million stars. If you have a pup that is full of anxiety and it’s always snapping at people, I promise you, if you select Ben to be your caretaker, you will never regret it. I truly appreciate you. I really really do. He sent pictures, gave me updates, and never once made me feel like I was a burden with asking questions.”
“Mike is an awesome sitter! He takes great care of our 5 year old French bulldog/Boston terrier mix. He communicates regularly and sends lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind that our little guy is having fun. I highly recommend Mike for your daycare or boarding needs.”
“Our dog had a blast during his stay with Liz! She is thoughtful, communicative and we loved the daily pup photos. We are so appreciative and would recommend Liz in a heartbeat.”
“Jon was a terrific resource for our family. He took our 12 year old yellow lab for 9 days and our dog couldn’t have been happier. He sent daily updates, photos and videos. To keep us in the loop. Highest recommendation! We will definitely rebook.”
“Julia is amazing, she had everything ready when we arrived and was an excellent host for our doggie. She kept us up to date on Moo's days and made her feel at home. I highly recommend her. Will be going back to her when we come back.”
“Chayanne was great with my best friend Phil. He came home happy and healthy and appropriately tired. She was super flexible with my schedule changes and a good communicator. Recommend!”
“Katherine and her family were great with my shy little chihuahua. They were also super flexible with pickup and drop off when my flight times kept getting changed. Highly recommend!”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”
“Lynn was delightful. She sent videos and pictures several times a day which reassured the worried Dog Mom that all was good. Lynn took good care of Sally and tolerated all her quirks. I will definitely use Lynn’s services again and highly recommend her to my friends and anyone.”
“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“I highly recommend Iryna for dog sitting! She took good care of my dog for 5 nights and kept me updated me the whole time. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have been having pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with two cats and two dogs. I have my own 2 cats now. I love my babies they are my whole I do work full time. I feed my cats twice a day. Once in the morning and then once in the evening. They also get snacks throughout the evening and during the day when I’m not at work. I have a fenced in yard. My cats are inside cats but of course my dogs go in the back yard. I do have bulldogs so they don’t stay out long, it’s too hot for them in the summer. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats myself and they all get along.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood
Mrs. Damaris and husband provided a true home away from home for Jumas. He was able to enjoy the indoors and outdoors while having new experiences with nature. He looked well in the photos we received and was calmer than usual upon pickup. Another great boarding experience logged! Thank you!
Madison was wonderful caring for Sonny and treated him like he was her own! She sent us photos throughout the day, helped with his medication, and gave him plenty of cuddles and playtime. Sonny came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time with her. We’d absolutely recommend Madison to any pet owner looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.
Made last minute plans to go out of town and looked here where I came across Brea, who agreed to accepted my request. The entire interaction with Brea was very easy going and kind! Upon drop off she let my pup meet her dogs to be sure they’d be a good fit for the weekend. Overall, my dog loved his visit with Brea, she sent pictures and video messages the entire time, and I will definitely be using her in the future!
Siraaj treated my pup like she was her own. It’s clear she really cares about providing quality care and attention to the dogs that she sits. She consistently sent video and picture updates throughout my dog’s stay. Definitely will be requesting her next time I need a pet sitter.
Julia is the absolute best! With very short notice, she was willing to take in my dog for a medical emergency and cared for her with above and beyond being an understatement. I recommend her for the care of your dogs. She sends photos, gives updates, asks questions, and truly loves them! Such a terrific person all around.
Beth was a great sitter. She agreed to a last minute dog sit after a quick "meet and greet". I was happy to have the meet and greet, since I had cautioned her that our 86 pound puppy was very, very, energetic and loved to jump on people. After meting Hank, she accepted the challenge. Hank came back from the 2 night stay happy and tired. Charlie, Beth's small dog, was a great playmate for Hank. I will be using Beth again
Parnay was absolutely amazing with my pug, Zeke. From the moment we connected, it was clear how caring, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful he is with animals. Zeke was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Parnay kept me updated, treated Zeke like his own, and went above and beyond to make sure all of Zeke’s needs were met. It’s obvious he has a natural way with dogs and truly understands their routines and personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Parnay again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and exceptional pet caregiver. Thank you, Parnay, for taking such great care of Zeke! 🐾

96% of Elmwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Elmwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmwood 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 Elmwood.
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.
You and your Elmwood 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 LA 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.
