“Lucinda and her family took great care of Lilo and kept me up to date with pictures of their adventures! I enjoyed my vacation stress-free knowing she was in great hands. :)”
“Jax had a great time at Chenaie's, lots of walks and exercise for my 2 yr old GSD. She was very accommodating for drop-off and pick up and Jax responded well to her. Super experience all the way! Thanks Chenaie.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Toby in Camille's and Nadege's hands. I was sent a lot of photos, and he seemed to adapt nicely. I will call them again the next time he needs a getaway!”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“This was my first experience using the app and Cammy made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She was very responsive and communicative. I really appreciated and enjoyed receiving update photos of Kevin playing happily with other dogs in her care. We tried leaving him for a night a few days before our trip and we could tell he had form a bond with the family already. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. We will definitely try to book her again for future trips.”
“Thank you Alicia and Jimmy for watching over my fur baby while I was out of town. I really enjoyed all of the updates and pictures. I know Charley is in good hands when she stays with you and that I don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you Rosario and Ryan for another wonderful stay🥰 It was Bisco’s first overnight stay with them, and she sometimes doesn’t eat because she can get a little nervous/anxious at a stranger’s house, but she ate her meal with them just fine. Thank you for providing a clean, warm, comfortable, and safe space for Bisco🙏🏻 Will book again and highly recommend for other fur parents!”
“Marria, was amazing right from the start!! I was just fostering these 2 little fur babies, since their owner died and they were going to be euthanized, I have 4 dogs, so I needed someone to keep these dogs while I was traveling. Mariia sent me daily videos and updates, and made sure they had their medicine everyday. I could not have been more happy with my experience with Mariia, and if you are looking for a kind and compassionate dog lover, she is definitely the person!!! Would HIGHLY recommend!!!!!”
“Pia M. is the most caring, conscientious dog sitter you could possibly find. My soft-coated wheaten terrier, Gracie, is always so excited when I bring her to Pia's house, she can hardly believe her luck! During Gracie's last visit, when I was away without phone reception for over a week, Gracie got sick and started eating inedible stuff (a thing she does when she has a tummy ache). Pia treated my dog as if she was her own: without missing a beat, she called the vet, got instructions, prepared special food, and nursed my pup back to health. By the time I returned, Gracie was just fine again, and Pia gave me a full report. I am so grateful to Pia for her wonderful, loving attention to my pup's needs and for all the fun Gracie has with Pia and her own sweet dog on every visit!”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have found Melissa! She took care of our dog during our wedding weekend and was absolutely amazing. From the moment we connected, she was kind, responsive, and so accommodating to our schedule and needs. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received regular updates and the sweetest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and emotional time. Knowing our dog was in such good hands made all the difference. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you”
“Valerie is amazing! She was super flexible with us as we had some travel plans change and our pup had such a time! And we got daily photos!! Thank you Valerie for taking care of our pup!”
“Patricia was absolutely amazing, not only taking care of our dog, but stopping by our house to check in on our cat to make sure she was alright. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Patricia to anyone looking for a reliable petsitter.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Karina is amazing, she is the only one I trust with my nervous, skittish little rescue chihuahua mix Rupert. Rupert doesn’t trust many people but Karina’s calm and knowledgeable handling makes him comfortable. I don’t worry one bit when he is with her. She’s the best, I highly recommended Karina.”
“Scout loved his stay with Gwen and Bert! He had a fantastic time playing and cuddling, and Gwen was great at sending updates. Would definitely recommend Gwen if you’re looking for a kind, trustworthy sitter!”
“My senior dog was really well taken care of by Alexis and Melisa. I loved that they sent me photos several times a day and kept us updated with meals and daily activities.”
“Can’t say enough good things about them. I was so nervous e leaving our doggie since he’s extremely needy and needs constant attention. They were so sweet from the beginning. They put me at ease with being patience and providing our dog with lots of love. They were great at communicating and sending pictures. Our dog went from being scared to having a big smile. Beyond grateful!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Our dog had an amazing time during his stay with Chenaie. It was such a weight off our shoulders to know that he was safe and well looked after. Chenaie goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is comfortable and well adjusted! We are really looking forward to having our dog stay with Chenaie for some of our longer trips we have planned. Highly highly recommended!
We are so relieved to have found Bridgette & Connor in Topanga! Our Micky stayed with them for 8 nights, and we were never worried about him while traveling. Micky made new human and furry friends, and he was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was clear he received plenty of love, attention, and great care throughout his stay. Bridgette sent prompt updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took Micky to the vet to have his paw checked after he started limping before I dropped him off. I was worried, but Bridgette was incredibly caring, reliable, and communicative the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found them and will absolutely trust them with Micky again!

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 Fernwood home-away-from-home, 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 Fernwood.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fernwood 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 , 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 .
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.
