“It was my first time to leave my pets with a sitter, I didn’t know how it worked and didn’t know what to expect. For some reason, the way she handled my pets during the drop off, gave me peace of mind that they will be in good hands. She texted me pictures of how they were doing in the process. Thank you! We will be back when the need arise.”
“Out Dog Buddy is always excited to go see Sarah and Jamey C and their pets and daughter. When we pick him up he is happy, excited and very well taken care of. As long as Sarah is doing dog sitting/boarding, we will be using her. She takes excellent care and love of our dog.”
“Christie and Michael took the best care of our dog Delta. Their care does not include a cage but rather allowing dogs to be in the open as their property is large and fenced to keep dogs safe. Their children also play an integral part of caring for the dogs left in their care.”
“Jocelyn was great with Arlo. He tends to be a little shy and quiet with new people but he made himself at home with her and her family right away. She checked with me before feeding him a treat to make sure it was ok that he had it and sent me cute pictures to show me he was doing good. As long as she’s available I will make sure to rebook her because I know he will be safe and loved. So happy we found her 😊🐾”
“We really appreciated everything she did, she is also very caring and gave updates every couple hours . ? percent recommend her if you want your dog to have a wonderful time!”
“Jassleen was a very attentive and engaged sitter for our two pooches. She provided ongoing updates, photos, and videos. She even provided our dogs her homemade doggie treats. We will definitely call Jassleen next time we go out of town.”
“Mr. John took care of my first born fur baby very well! It’s nice to know I have someone reliable who can take care of my dog while I’m traveling. Will not be the first or last time booking with Mr. John 10/10!”
“Jennifer was awesome! I was so nervous booking a sitter for my puppy for the first time and Im so glad I chose Jennifer. She kept me updated the whole time, and after seeing the photos,my pup looked so happy and comfortable with her. Will for sure book again next time when I'm looking for a sitter to watch my lil monster.”
“Just the look on my dogs face when Jenna sent me a picture of her said it all. She was running with wild abandonment and I say she was smiling. Highly recommend and will seek out next time I need a sitter.”
“My dogs seemed to really enjoy staying with Nicole. I received pictures of the dogs during the stay. My puppy Leroy can be skittish with people, but he was cuddling with Nicole and her boyfriend within the first hour. And Leroy loves to wrestle and chase/be chased by other dogs - and he had a blast playing with Nicole's dogs.”
“Lisa was AMAZING!!! Whiskey took to her immediately and was on her lap within 10mins, lol. Lisa kept me updated on my pups adventures while I was gone with pictures and videos, and even offered to FaceTime if I wanted! So kind, super flexible, and her dogs are great friends and playmates as soon as they met. Already booking her for my next trip!”
“This was my first time using the Rover app and it was a great experience! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs dog sitting services, it is a very easy app to use. Once I created my dog, Max's profile, it was just about looking for a sitter in my area. I reach out to Mayra via the app and she was very quick to respond, and very friendly. Messaging with her made me feel comfortable to leave Max for the weekend, she sent us some pictures of him relaxing and having a good time. Thank you again Mayra!”
“Kimberly was an amazing caregiver to our dog! She was so caring and communicated every day with us. Our dog needs daily medication and she went the extra mile to care for her. We knew she was in great hands and would not hesitate to have her care for our dog again!”
“Vicente is a great host. My dogs had a great time and I was very happy with the pictures that Vicente sent to make sure I knew Wall-e and Anna were safe and well taken care of. I will definitely book with Vicente again!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
“Bowen is very attentive to my dog’s needs & took great care to help Coco adjust to the new environment. He also provided me with frequent updates & photos. Gave Coco a bath so she’s nice & clean when we picked her up. Bowen is also very flexible & accommodated us as our schedule changed. Highly recommend Bowen to anyone who needs to board or doggie daycare. Thanks Bowen!”

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.
97% of sitters in Fairmead 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 Fairmead 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 Fairmead.
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 Fairmead. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Fairmead 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.
