“Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of genuine love for animals, consistent reliability, and attention to each pet's unique needs. I don’t just watch dogs—I build trust with them. I take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I adjust my care to suit their personality. I also keep owners updated with photos and check-ins, so they feel just as at ease as their dog does. For me, it’s not just a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a joy i look forward to every time. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. My fiancé is also home, so between the two of us, there’s always someone around to walk, play with, or cuddle your pup. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and we both love having animals around—it’s honestly a joy, not a chore. Pet care fits perfectly into our routine and brings a lot of happiness to our day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the client’s, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and get attention throughout the day. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, meds, whatever they need.
“Kaizen did so great with our pup! Took him out for multiple walks and gave me updates throughout the day. So glad I went to him and will definitely be using him again!”
“Ning! You are so awesome! The photos throughout the day were heartwarming. I was so surprised to see her get so cozy with you. If I’m ever back in CA. I’ll use your services again! Thanks so much!!!!”
About: With over 45 years experience caring for dogs, I truly love them & treat every pup like family. I've cared for different breeds & sizes, from 10lbs to 150lbs. I provide loving, safe, dependable care & will give your pets the attention, patience, & affection they deserve. I'm home full time, which gives me the flexibility to provide your pet with plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day and night. There will be lots of potty breaks, sun bathing & play time while they get tons of love & affection! I have a large fenced yard and a 9 Year old English Bulldog, Maggie, who would love to keep your pets company during their stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
It was very reassuring leaving Luka with Mai as I could immediately tell she was very attentive to Luka’s needs and sent plenty of updates. She let me know when Luka was on walks, going potty, eating, and how he was getting along with any other dogs. Thanks Mai!
Goose absolutely loved his time with Janice! She was so friendly and professional. She helped us out so much caring for Goose while we were at Channel Islands NP. It was such a relief knowing that Goose was well cared for! We will definitely pick Janice again when we are in the area again.
Chris is the best dog sitter! My dog Bennett is a very high-energy 1-year-old Dalmatian, and he can definitely be a lot, so I’m always a little nervous about leaving him with just one person and potentially exhausting them. Chris (and Dallas) handled him like pros and seemed completely unfazed. He took Bennett to the dog park multiple times to burn off energy, played with him and the other dogs, helped him work through some snappy moments, fed him dinner, and even let him relax on the couch with him. Bennett had a great day and I would absolutely trust Chris with him again! 🐾 Thank you!

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 Fountain Valley 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
