“Derek and Leslie clearly love dogs and were patient with Ruby, who was a bit overwhelmed and grouchy when the other dogs approached her. Derek stayed in the backyard with Ruby and played on the pool with her, which is her favorite. Would definitely recommend for your more social dogs.”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Michael and his family did an excellent job caring for my two dogs. They were very responsive and provided a great summary of how my dogs did at daycare. My dogs came home very tired which tells me they really enjoyed their time with Michael and his dogs!”
“Darlene was awesome. I couldn't be happier. Her home is set up super dog friendly. She kept me posted with photos and videos. Rocco had a great time meeting and playing with new friends. He cannot wait to go back.”
“Leah is great and super nice. My pomeranian loves going. He has no issues there and his anxiety has become a night and day difference since going to day care with her for almost 2 months now. She's been awesome at taking care of him. And also has watched him in a pinch for me too. Couldn't imagine a better person/ family to watch him 💜”
“Alexis and her family were amazing! Came in nervous to drop off our new puppy but they seem like genuine kind people who made us feel at ease. Our puppy seemed like she had lots of love and fun around her.”
“Daria went above and beyond by logging everything Juneau did for the day! She also sent photos and Juneau loves her so much which is a huge plus. When meeting Daria, she ran up to her and immediately became best friends with her! I will definitely consider reaching out to Daria again. Thank you!!”
“Sookie always has a great time with Tammy, and her dogs. I tell her where she's going, she gets very excited, she almost pulls my arm off trying to get inside to see everyone. I feel good knowing she's getting great care.”
“Taro felt right at home. Chong was very accommodating with last minute changes to drop off and pick up. She kept me updated with pictures and messages which made me feel at ease.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Victoria and her family care for my two English bulldogs, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was! From the moment I reached out, Victoria was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my dogs' needs. It was clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and her caring demeanor truly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, Victoria consistently kept me updated with pictures and messages, which reassured me that doggos were having a great time. Victoria's attention to detail and her warm, inviting family environment made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Victoria, for making our time away stress-free and enjoyable!”
About: Hello! I'm Kristen, a young professional with a work-from-home career and a full-time job caring for my 3 year old Golden Retriever. I have had several dogs ranging in sizes my entire life, as well as cats, birds, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. I trained my Retriever myself, and adopted him from a puppy mill rescue when he was 8 weeks old. I have been a reliable petsitter for friends and family for many years, have experience caring for rescued dogs/reactive dogs, and am excited to make more new pet friends! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I walk my own dog on my lunch break and after work, and would be able to check on/walk yours on a similar timeline! I have a fenced front yard and back yard, as well as exterior security cameras. My dog is very friendly and has been socialized since he was vaccinated and able to be introduced to other dogs.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter! Pranavi was so attentive and caring with our little fur baby. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with adorable pictures, and even went the extra mile to make sure our puppy was comfortable and happy. It was clear they genuinely love animals and treated our puppy like their own. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Pranavi to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Amazing communication, heard me when I expressed I was afraid. My boy is all I have and they sent me pictures throughout the day and stayed in constant communication. He was happy and well when I got him. I’ve already booked her for several day, overnight, and a 10 day trip I have coming up. HIGHLY recommend. 12/10.”
“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”
“Our little old man (Max) gets separation anxiety, but after an all-day visit with Heather and her family, Max was relaxed and felt loved—so much that he hardly even reacted when we came to pick him up—that’s a great sign! We give Heather a five star recommendation for watching any of your fur babies. Thank you again, Heather!”
“It was wonderful to find a loving and attentive day care for Cray to spend the day! Cray definitely agrees that it is way better than being left at home alone and says he will be back! Thanks so much to Wyne for the sweet care and picture updates throughout the day!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Lucas was amazing with my puppy, Nala! He was incredibly welcoming from the start and made sure she was comfortable and cared for the entire time she stayed with him and Ferguson. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. Nala came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I also appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Lucas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
I absolutely recommend Derek and Leslie!! They are genuinely caring for the pets they watch! My 12 week old puppy, Maggie, felt right at home in their house. She was closely attended to, was safe and had lots of fun playing in their wonderful backyard. Several times through Maggie’s stay, they texted photos of Maggie running, playing, napping. Derek and Leslie are outstanding dog-sitters!
Sara and her family are so sweet and gave my dogs a lot of attention. She sent me pictures of her kids playing with my dogs and I could tell that they were having a good time. Her home is set up really well for my dogs with the backyard covered patio. My dogs are funny about going out in the rain and it was raining in the morning so her having a covered patio was really good for my dogs. I definitely recommend Sara!!!! I now have a new dog sitter with Sara.
Sharee & her family are always amazing with Clover! Clover is so excited when she sees Sharee so I know she is well taken care of. Sharee sends photo & video updates which I love so much! Clover gets so much love & attention from Sharee’s little girls as well and gets so much fetch time (and lots of walkies on the river trail!) when she’s there. We highly recommend Sharee to anyone looking for a family-friendly home for their pet while they’re away. We will continue bringing Clover here whenever we can’t take her along with us!
Joanna is so sweet! My dog Pepper was immediately comfortable around her even though she is sometimes nervous with new people. She sent tons of pictures and videos and I could tell Pepper was very well taken care of. I’m certain I will be booking with Joanna again!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fair Oaks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,368 sitters in Fair Oaks, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
