“Maverick has been with Derek and Leslie twice so far and he loves it! He’s always well taken care of and has a great time. They are incredibly flexible with my schedule and super responsive. I would recommend sending your pups here!”
“Ariana is easy to work with. We appreciate her flexible schedule, quick communication and detailed updates with photos. Our fur baby has lots of energy but comes home ready to rest because he gets so much exercise and play time with Ariana. There are many reasons why we are repeat customers!”
“Angela and her home was a great choice to board my dog, Rocco, for a weekend stay. He has separation anxiety so she gave him plenty of attention and affection to make him feel right at home. She also shared photos and videos of his stay. The next time I'm in Sacramento, I won't hesitate to book her again!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”
“Ann and her husband were such great pet guardians for Angie! Ann's extensive experience with dogs and her gentle energy filled me with confidence that Angie would be in good hands. They're good people and I will happily use them again!”
“Just the best every time! My dog jumps over me in the car to get to her when we drive up. I get endless pictures and videos and she always looks to be having the best time. When I pick her up she is at ease and happy and I know she gets so much love and attention.”
“Jonna did great job taken care of my baby fur! Luke loves Peaches, both dogs playful together. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luke. Recommend book with her. I will rebook with her in near future.”
“Highly Recommend Kierstin. Our golden retriever spent a week at Kierstin’s house. She loved the back yard and their friendly lab. When our flight was delayed, Kierstin didn’t hesitate to allow Lily to spend another night. She’s prompt with responses, and sends update pictures frequently.”
“Margot is still snoozing away after spending a fun filled weekend with Katy and her canine crew. Katy is very knowledgeable about dogs, and how to train them, and did an excellent job caring for Margot. Her house is located near a dog park, and is retrofitted for dogs. I will definitely be contacting her for future stays.”
“Coryn was super friendly and Rex loved her from the second he saw her! He did not even turn around to say goodbye when we left. We loved getting all the photos of him every day! Thank you Coryn and family!!”
“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“Tamara is the best! We always book with her when we go on vacation and need a sitter for our Lily. She is great with communication, sending daily pics so we can see our girl is doing well. Always know we can relax and enjoy our time away when she has our dog. Definitely recommend Tamara! ❤️”
“Jasmine was so very attentive and communicative during my week-long vacation. She sends lots of videos and photos and genuinely really loves the dog she cares for. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“Julia was amazing and I didn’t worry about my dog on my trip. Before my fur baby could board with Julia she had some forms about my dogs personality, sleep schedule and vaccines. Julia has a “sniffing” activites in her backyard for the dogs to keep busy. She also has gates for when you arrive and leave so no dogs could ever bolt out the front door. I got daily updates on how my dog was doing with pictures. I would highly recommend Julia for daycare or boarding.”
“As always our two dogs LOVE staying with Michael! They are always excited to pull up to his home and are super excited to see him — he gives such thoughtful care to them — and that’s why we’ll always prefer Michael to be our dog-sitter.”
“Our first long trip away from our pup, but we felt so comfortable leaving him in Marnett’s care. We met beforehand to make sure personalities matched up and we were a go from the start. So relieved to find such a reliable and responsible boarder!!”
“Bernadeth went above and beyond taking care of our dog. She asked detailed questions about our dog's habits, routines, and sent frequent updates throughout the day. It was obvious that she is full of love and care. I would recommend her place for any dog owners!”

Erin and Devin took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a week. They sent frequent updates and both our dogs were so happy and cared for! They took the dogs on walks, played with them, gave them snuggles and gave them tons of attention throughout their stay. When we picked up our dogs they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely use Erin and Devin again if we are needing a dog sitter!
Alexis, I cannot begin to thank you enough for how well you and your family take care of our Leo! I can tell from the photos you send he’s having the time of his life. We really appreciate the love and care he’s given. It makes it so much easier to plan vacations when we know he will be well taken care of! Thank you!
Our dog, Lucy, loves going to stay with Leslie and Derek. She just completed a 12-day visit and we received plenty of pictures and updates. She made friends, canine and human, and was very happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Overall, we are very comfortable leaving Lucy here and will do so again.
There is not one negative thing we can say about Nancy! We enjoyed working with her almost as much as Murphy enjoyed staying with her. She sent us updates daily to ensure we were not worried. She was very thorough before and during the stay and it calmed our nerves immediately. We have no doubts that we will continue to have Nancy watch our pup the next time we go out of town. Thank you Nancy!
Once again, Troy & Patricia took wonderful care of our dog Shasta while we traveled out-of-state. The daily photos and updates were very much appreciated, and Shasta seemed to have a great time going on numerous walks, eating treats, and getting lots of personalized attention! Highly recommended.
Naomi is the only boarder my Fur Baby will ever go to, when she’s available. She’s honestly so good that I am willing to plan my vacations around her schedule. My baby continues to come home the same happy camper as the day I dropped her off. That could be two days or as up to 14 days.
Inger watched our girl Maple while we were away getting married, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for her! We were a little nervous about trusting someone with Maple during such an important weekend, but from the moment we met Inger, she made us feel completely comfortable. She was so warm and welcoming, and we immediately knew Maple was going to feel right at home with her. We especially appreciated the undivided attention and love she gave Maple, as well as the sweet pictures she sent us while we were away. Inger was also incredibly thoughtful about knowing we were busy with our wedding and didn’t want to overwhelm us with updates. She made sure to get an emergency contact ahead of time just in case she needed anything, which gave us even more peace of mind. We will definitely book again in the future!
Yasmith & Jay are a lovely couple! They communicated and sent pictures often and we could tell our dog was getting spoiled! They were extremely flexible with our last-minute booking request, and I truly appreciated that. Our dog had a great time with them and looked great when we picked him up! They even gave him a bath while he was there. If needed, I will be using their services again. I would highly recommend Yasmith and Jay to watch your fur babies! I trust them 100%!

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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks 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 Fair Oaks.
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 Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Fair Oaks 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.
