“Shelby had a great time with them. She was well loved. We received daily updates with pictures. We’d recommend them and will rebook when needed. Thank you!”
“Hae Ohk took wonderful care of our 3-year-old Corgi, Brie! She thoughtfully asked about Brie’s daily diet, sleeping environment, and special care needs beforehand. She also sent lots of happy photos throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Brie came home happy, healthy, and in perfect shape! Highly recommend Hae Ohk, and we’ll definitely book with her again! ❤️”
“We are so grateful for Nadia! She took care of our 2 pups for 8 days and was absolutely wonderful. From the start, she was so pleasant, attentive, and clearly loved our dogs as if they were her own. She went above and beyond—sending us consistent updates, photos, and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups got lots of love and extra attention, and honestly, they still miss her! It’s rare to find someone so dependable and caring, and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dog sitter who truly connects with pets. Thank you, Nadia!”
“I would definitly have Jaime watch Doug again! She sent us a lit of photos and from the looks of it- Doug had a blast with the other playmates too! Thank you for taking such great care of our high energy dog!!”
“Fantastic! Lanie, Matt, and their kids are an ideal family for my big energetic lab Clyde. He loves visiting houses that buzz with activity and between the walks and backyard play he came home tired and happy. Won’t hesitate to send Clyde over for more fun weekends.”
“Rachel was awesome and took such great care of our dog. She was quick to respond to messages and sent lots of pictures and videos every day. Our dog had a great time with her. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Anh & his wife did a great job easing my mind when Bailey stayed with them! They were diligent with his schedule & medications & gave me daily updates & photos. Bailey hates being separated from me & yet, he seemed relaxed with them. I would 100% recommend, in fact, I’ve already booked with Anh again!!”
“John was great with our two dogs. He took care of them like his own pets. Very great communication and will definitely be using him again when we visit the Bay Area next time.”
“Kelly was great with our cats, Honey and Luna! She sent daily updates and the cats seemed to really like her- they tend to be pretty shy , but she did a fantastic job of getting them to come out of their shells.”
“Obsessed with Sara and her family. She took great care of Lola and I could tell Lola felt right at home. They went on plenty of walks and I received plenty of photos. Would definitely leave Lola with her again!”
“We are very grateful to Jocelyn for welcoming Juhi and making her comfortable during the stay. Our pet Juhi had recently gone through an eye surgery and I was really looking for a home where she could be comfortable and taken care of . Jocelyn was very kind and patient in welcoming Juhi . We had set up an initial phone visit and an in-person visit for us to get familiarized and also help my dog get introduced to the surroundings. Jocelyn provided us assurance during drop off and shared regular updates during the boarding. Jocelyn administered the eye drops and ensured Juhi was taking her medication and food regularly. It helped greatly with Juhi recovery and I am really grateful for the support .”
“Madhumita was amazing! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request. Her home is very nice and well appointed for dogs. She communicated well, was friendly and her dog got along really well with ours. I received updates throughout his stay. She took great care of my dog and I wasn’t worried at all. Highly recommend!!”
“Amy is great! This is our second booking with Amy and again she did an amazing job taking care of Emma. We really appreciate how communicated she was throughout the entire 3 weeks with updates and photos, and it was clear that Emma had an awesome time and received great care. Highly recommended! We definitely plan to board with Amy again in the future!”
“Lucky had a wonderful time staying at Sein’s home! She took great care of her and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Lucky’s daily life, along with detailed summaries of her routine—meals, playtime, and potty breaks. This really put our minds at ease while we were away. Sein was also very responsive and always quick to answer any questions or concerns. Lucky clearly enjoyed her stay, especially spending time with the other dogs and cats. We truly appreciate her care and will definitely bring Lucky back again in the future!”
“Hachi enjoyed his stay so much with Mochi and his family. Sherry has been very considering and patient with Hachi given Hachi tended to be naughty sometimes. They also offered healthy snacks to the two and they liked it so much! They shared photos when they walked Hachi and a couple of times during the day for their play time. They are also responsive to our messages and never let us worry about Hachi.”
“A very warm and friendly environment for our pup. Juliana also did a great job communicating. We were confident our dog was left in good hands, and he was indeed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitdale
Being away on a long trip is always stressful, but knowing Tofu was in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind. Billie went above and beyond, even making sure Tofu wore his clothes when he was out in the cold. He was so well cared for and had the best time—I can tell he's already missing his friends. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Mamie and Chen! They took wonderful care of Lily and kept me in the loop every step of the way with great updates and photos. I had an unexpected schedule change and needed to modify our dates, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible about making it work. Lily loved her time there, and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Leo stayed with Qing, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! ❤️ She was absolutely wonderful with him. What really touched me was that she came prepared with notes to make sure she understood every little detail about Leo’s care. It showed how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring she is. Leo came home so happy, and that says everything! 🥰 It’s such a relief knowing your fur baby is in loving hands. We would absolutely love to have Qing take care of Leo again. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Joyce is amazing! Whenever I leave Brody with her, I know he’s in the best hands. Brody has special needs, and Joyce is always attentive to his health concerns and makes sure he gets the care and attention he needs. She also does a wonderful job keeping me updated, which I truly appreciate. Knowing how well she looks after him gives me such peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her!
Robyn takes such good care of Pepper that I can actually relax when I am away. When I pick her up she is calm and happy. While she is still my Velcro dog, she isn’t anxious so I know she is comfortable with Robyn’s family and big black lab. I know Pepper will have more visits with them and I do not hesitate to recommend her as a responsible dog sitter.
I don’t even know where to start with how wonderful and amazing Habil and Sonny were with my dog. I picked Nabil because he looked like a really nice guy from his photo, which may not be a reason to pick a pet sitter lol. But I was right, he is incredibly kind, considerate, understanding, and responsible. This was my first time leaving dog with someone i did not know. My fears quickly disappeared after our first meeting . My pup was immediately at home ! During her 10 day stay , I received photos, videos, and updates at least twice a day. I also called to check in and was able to talk to Nabil . I left a laundry bag for my dog’s linens, and to my surprise, all of her linens and blankets were laundered already !! When I returned home, my dog was happy to see me for a few minutes and then clearly did not want to leave. My heartfelt thanks to you both for everything.❣️
This is our third or fourth time leaving Lucky with Julie and we are very happy with the care that Lucky receives. The last time was a long stay of over 2 weeks and it worked out really well - Lucky was well taken care of and we could have a nice vacation without having to worry about him. In fact our flight was delayed by a day and Julie was very flexible in accommodating Lucky for an additional day at the last minute. She sends regular updates and responds quickly every time, All Lucky’s needs are met like food, walks, any medication or sprays that he needs and Julie is very attentive and caring towards Lucky we can tell. I would highly recommend Julie!
Nova had a fantastic time staying with Amy amd Coco for 4 nights. The check ins and photos were fun - and I loved that Nova was on a vacation while I was away on business. I highly recommend Amy she has a wonderful way with animals and a loving gentle energy - I am so glad I found her!

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.
92% of sitters in Fruitdale 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 Fruitdale 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 Fruitdale.
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 Fruitdale. On Rover:
- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 Fruitdale 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.
