“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Allison watched my two pups this past weekend. Before their stay with her we did a meet and greet and when I met her I knew she truly loves animals and my pups liked her. During their stay Allison shared updates regularly and sent me pictures to show me how they were doing. I really appreciated her updates, especially because it was my younger pups first time staying anywhere other than home. While they were in her care I knew they will well taken care of and safe. Thank you Allison for taking such good care of my pups! Can't wait till the next time.”
“This young lady and her beautiful family took excellent care of my Senior fur baby who is blind. She updated me daily on my Iggy’s day and the peace of mind I had was so worth me choosing to use her/Rover. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my Iggy with her again. A BIG thank you.”
“We have left Baxter with Shayne numerous times, and he has been returned to us more energetic and happy. Although we are in Tracy, it is worth the drive to Stockton as we know that Baxter will be well taken care of.”
“We were apprehensive as Luna is only 7 months old and has never been apart from us, but Sabrina reassured us she would be fine. She asked all the right questions (feeding, bathroom, sleeping routines) and told us we would get regular updates. Just as promised we got messages, photos and videos of Luna and her walks and meeting all the animals on the farm. When we collected her, it was clear that she had been loved and cared for the entire time we were away, and Luna would have been happy to stay. We won’t use another sitting service again, and would recommend Sabrina in a heartbeat. Thank you Sabrina”
“Oh my god. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took care of both of ours dogs like they were her own. She always sent photos and videos throughout their stay. Loved it.”
“If I could give Stephanie more than 5 stars I would. She is an awesome sitter. She took care of our fur baby as if he was her own. He was well taken care of and loved his stay. She updated me every day with pictures. We had an problem traveling back home and had to extend the stay, but Stephanie was very understanding and accommodating. I will definitely use Stephanie again.”
“My dog Meeko had such a great time with Dalene during his stay! When I first dropped Meeko off he wasn’t hesitant at all to say hi & leave with her. Which I was a little shocked he didn’t even say bye to me or turn around but that goes to show how good she is with dogs how he trusted her from the start. Dalene would also send me pictures & updates on how he was doing which I really appreciated. She is sitting for Meeko again next month & I know Meeko will be so excited to see her.”
“Dipinthi is a great and trustworthy caretaker for your pup! She had a very open line of communication, she sent daily pictures and updates, was easy to book with, very prompt in all her responses and was really sweet and caring towards our dog Cole! I highly recommend her services, I definitely will be returning customer if I'm in the area!”
“Jahmilya and her family were very accommodating and amazing sitters to my two cats. They ensured that my cats were comfortable, sent pictures during their stay and allowed me to make last minute modifications which was very much appreciated. I will book with them again as it felt like a second home for my cats.”
“Tracey took on my 3 large and active dogs for over a week and provided the best care to them! She was communicative, caring, and provided us with peace of mind while away. We highly highly recommend her and her family to care for your beloved pets!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. I believe pets deserve more than simply being checked on. They deserve attention, affection, play, and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who need help with house-training, crate routines, and learning good habits. I also enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and giving dogs plenty of positive attention. I’m equally comfortable caring for cats and love spending time playing with them, giving them affection, and keeping them company in their own home. My approach is patient, gentle, and attentive. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you’ve established for your pet and keep you updated so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime and companionship, puppy care, or someone to stay with them while you’re gone, I’d love to help make their time without you as easy and comfortable as possible. I am currently going to school part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible during the week. I am also open on the weekends too. I am attentive and caring and have a home with a fenced yard. My sweet, friendly dog is named Cali. She has a relaxed temperament and can be a gentle friend to keep your precious one company while you’re away. I have great attention to detail and do well following directions. I can easily crate if requested.
“MK was an amazing host for our boy! He was sad to leave when we picked him up from having so much fun with his new friends. HAVING A HUSKY, the air tag was great for piece of mind. We will definitely bring our boy back in the future. Thank you MK”

“Brittany and James took a GREAT care of our dog (Blue Heeler) for a little over two weeks. They are very professional, reliable, and responsive. On July 4th, they did everything they could to calm our dog since he was very scared of fireworks. My dog loved to cuddle between Brittany and James 😁 Thank you so much for giving love to Uni and for what you do! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving care for your pups! 🐶”
“Celeste is awesome! She took great care of my 4 month labradoodle puppy, Noobie, for 3 nights. Noobie got to play with her dogs and take walks. I am very grateful to meet such a great sitter. I highly recommend Celeste!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Farmington 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 Farmington.
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 Farmington 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.
