“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maddie is truly the BEST dog sitter I could have ever found for Wylie. She is so attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about him like he’s her own. I get tons of picture updates throughout the day (which I absolutely love), and she always keeps me in the loop on how he’s doing. Wylie comes home happily exhausted every single time — which tells me he’s getting so much love, playtime, and attention while he’s with her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, loving, and goes above and beyond, Maddie is 100% your girl. Wylie and I are so lucky to have found her!”
“So glad I found Brooke! My dog has a big separation anxiety but she came back happy. She sent me photos and let me know how she was doing while I was away. I feel my pup loved her and I’ll def leave my pup again when I need to!”
“Ayni and Alfonsus were wonderful! They sent me updates the whole evening and Frankie seemed very comfortable and had a great time. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Mickie is great! Took good care of our pup, Lola. She’s quick to respond and very communicative. Lola seemed to have a great time with lots of play. Highly recommend!”
“April took wonderful care of Toby during his day with her! She made sure he got plenty of walks and sent tons of adorable photos to keep me updated. She’s incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. I could tell Toby had a great time. I would definitely trust and recommend April!”
“Dana is fantastic and her home is literally a doggie 5 star resort. Rico can’t wait to get there and is absolutely worn out when he gets home from having a fantastic, playful, day. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that Rico is somewhere he wants to be when he can’t be with us.”
“We have booked Emily to dog sit our pup multiple times and couldn’t not recommend her more! She truly goes above and beyond and our dog is always so happy to be with her. 10/10 definitely recommend!”
“Everything was great! We booked Phil and Lauren to watch Penny for a few hours. They were super flexible with the drop off time. Penny loves staying with them!”
“Brian is a dog whisperer. He is calm, patient, and treats my sweet pup and any pets he’s looking after as his own. Truly, his calm demeanor puts pets at ease immediately. He regularly volunteers at the dog shelter and has extensive experience with all types of dogs. Brian is eager to meet your best friend where they’re at (in my case, a 15 week old puppy that sometimes slept and sometimes had endless zoomie energy and needed constant attention!). Brian is wonderful with practicing training commands and shares updates and photos throughout the day. He is also super communicative and was extremely flexible as my work schedule required alternate pick up and drop off times. I’ll absolutely rely on Brian when I need full day or overnight support. Don’t look any further for support, Brian is the absolute best!!”
“Perfectly experience all around!! Concordia is AWESOME!! She wanted to know all about Eva, then sent pics and videos throughout the day. Eva loved her, which is the most important part. Just perfection in a dog sitter! Highly recommend her!!”
“Elise was the best! She’s so caring and she took such good care of my dog. She walked her, fed her,gave her meds. She sent photos and was so caring. I highly recommend her!”
“5 out 5 stars… From the moment my fur baby, Luna recognized where she was going her body started to vibrate with excitement. Alex, is an incredible dog sitter who not only provided the cutest pictures throughout the day, but he was also able to address a concern I had about Luna with thoughtfulness and intelligence which speaks highly to his training abilities. Luna always returned to me at the end of the day a tired and well balanced pup. For these reasons and so much more, I highly recommend Alex for your dog sitting needs and look forward to rebooking him in the near future.”
About: I’ve had a dog and a cat since I was about 3 years old. I regularly take care of my friends’ and family’s pets whenever they need assistance and need someone they can rely on. I work from home and have a lovely neighborhood to walk any pets around in. I am working from home so have a very flexible schedule. My girlfriend also loves pets and really wants a puppy of her own, so one of us is always home and would be happy to cater to the needs of any pets walking sleeping schedule. We have a 1100 sq feet apartment not that far from the beach with lots of space to walk. We also have an extra guest bedroom/office where we have enough space for your pet to have their own private bedroom :)
“Anastasia was very flexible on short notice, responsive, and provided good updates and photos when she watched our Labrador for the day. She was very attentive to our dog’s demeanor and clearly cared about giving the best possible care. Looking forward to future stays!”
“Jane was great as always. Our pup had extra energy before we dropped him off and she got him the exercise he needed. We always feel confident he’ll be well cared for when we leave him with Jane.”

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 Fernwood 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 7,043 sitters in Fernwood, 87% 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.
