“Moose & Maggie had a great time to with Monique. I received posts that kept me updated on how they got settled in and enjoyed their stay. I will use Monique again when I am back in San Diego.”
“Holly is great! She sent loads of photos and updates on Winnie throughout her stay and Winnie had the best time! Will absolutely be sending Winnie back the next time we travel!”
“Mihaela was such an amazing sitter. She sent us the best updates with so much detail every time. Our puppy Ollie seemed so happy the whole time and when we picked him up he was very happy as well. We couldn’t be more thankful for Mihaela and how caring and thoughtful she was with our puppy!”
“Jamal was great with our little guy. He was sending us daily updates and was super flexible with drop off and pickup! We will definitely be rebooking with Jamal!”
About: Im your dog’s sitter's favorite sitter. I grew up with dogs in the house and treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, caring, and love making dogs feel safe and happy. Home body and enjoy staying home binge watching shows or movies with your dog. Whether it’s playing, going on walks, caring for puppies, or giving extra attention to senior dogs, I make sure every pup gets the love and care they deserve. 🐶❤️ I’m saving up for our wedding in 2027.😊 I'm home for the majority of the day. Also go on runs and walks routinely. I live near North Park so there are plenty of parks to walk around. Since I’m home most of the day, I can give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and frequent potty breaks. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away!
“Our three-year old Alaskan Malamute can be very timid and shy around strangers, especially when I'm not around, but Marissa made Maple feel calm, playful and right at home from the moment they met. Marissa's place offered the perfect set up for Maple, giving her plenty of outdoor space to stretch her legs and a cool space to lounge in the evening. The consistent updates and shared photographs showed how much Maple enjoyed her stay and how quickly they connected. Equally as important, it put my mind at ease. I was extremely nervous about leaving Maple behind for the first time since we adopted her, but now I know we'll always have a welcoming place for her whenever we're out of town.”
“Vanessa is great! My guy is a little shy with new people but he warmed up quickly during our meet and greet. He was spoiled with treats and even got to sleep on the bed. Super happy after his stay. Finn will be a frequent visitor. :)”
About: I've been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in high school, I'm comfortable taking care of 5 or more pets at once. I currently own 8 of my own, 5 reptiles and 3 cats. I've done dog, cat, and reptile sitting for navy personnel since moving to San Diego last year. I am an all around pet lover and enthusiast. I am currently a bored house wife with a lot of spare time and love to give. I'm available any day of the week and any time of day. I own three cats all of varying ages, and 5 reptiles my bearded dragon ive have had since 2024 and my other 4 reptiles Ball Python, African Fat Tail Gecko, Sulcata Tortise, and Berber Skink I've owned since 2025. All of my pets are on a set schedule with varying diets and feeding schedules. When taking care of others animals as well as my own I make sure I'm following their routine and making sure they're comfortable and feel loved and cared for and I'm also a huge advocate for respecting animals boundaries.
“Isabella is an angel. Our sitter cancelled on my way to the airport and Isabella took the job without hesitation. She even picked up our Lily from the previous sitter and brought her home. She updated us everyday with pictures, video and text messages. Will definitely be a comeback customer. Thanks so much for taking great care of our Lily🙏”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels — from anxious pups who need reassurance to high‑energy dogs. I’m also familiar with crate training, basic commands, and supporting pets with separation anxiety. I work full‑time from home, which allows me to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks or drop‑ins. Since I’m home, your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and a stable routine that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, structured environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy company. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer crate training if needed, and keep a calm, clean home. When I’m caring for your pet in my space I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication so your dog feels secure and supported.
“Heather has been an absolute blessing! She is trustworthy and will update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her! Thank you so much.”
“Devon and Tyson are absolute gems. From the meet and greet, to the drop off, to the photo/video updates, to the pick up, I knew that my girl was in competent, caring hands. I felt so at ease leaving her at their home, and will absolutely seek out their services again.”
“David is a great Rover. Patient, adaptable and loving attention for each pet. Plenty of places for your pet to hang, a big backyard and some exercise as well. Highly recommended by us and our pet. Woof. Woof.”
“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“Chau was highly communicative during our dog's stay, and had us over for quick visits ahead of time to check the fit with her pups and help ours get acclimated ahead of his stay. Our pup enjoyed the other doggos and getting to run in the nearby park.”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“Madelyn was incredibly communicative and provided photo updates throughout our pup’s stay. It was our first time using Rover and she made it such a smooth experience from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emerald Hills
Katelyn and Paul were amazing. They invited us to come over and do a meet and greet with our pup to make sure we’re were compatible. They sent updates every day and were super friendly. Whinnie their dog was also such a sweetheart! Will definitely be booking them again in the future!
I had an amazing experience with Adam watching my Frenchie, Lailah, over the weekend! From start to finish, Adam was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. He consistently provided updates through pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lailah was happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. Those little updates truly made a difference and showed how thoughtful he is when caring for someone’s fur baby. It’s not always easy trusting someone else with your dog, but Adam made the entire experience stress-free. I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care and attention he gave Lailah. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter!
I am so grateful we found Natasha! She is amazing! We left our dog with her for two weeks and any anxiety we had about leaving him went away. She gave us thorough updates with photos on how he was doing and what they did that day. She took such great care of our little guy. Also her dog Nyla was really good with our dog who is full of energy. She was patient with him but also showed him how to be calm and play with her. He honestly came home more calm. Our dog clearly really loved being with Natasha, her partner and their dog. It is such a relief knowing he felt comfortable and safe with them.
We couldn't have been happier with the care Stella received! Our sitters were wonderful, attentive, and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's such a relief knowing your furry family member is in great hands, and we won't hesitate to use them again!
Arianna did a wonderful job taking care of our energetic little dog, we received photos and updates and we can really tell that our dog enjoyed her stay. Arianna also had no issue with our dogs quirks and clearly gave our dog all the love and attention she needed.
Nat was incredible. Daisy is normally pretty shy, but she ran up to Nat when they first met and was begging for pets. I immediately felt she was trustworthy with my dog. Nat sent me a ton of photos throughout Daisy’s stay and I honestly wasn’t certain my dog would even want to come home. Thank you so much!

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 Emerald Hills 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 Emerald Hills 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 Emerald Hills.
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 Emerald Hills. On Rover:
- 88% 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 Emerald Hills 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.
