“Wow! Sofiya was such a wonderful caretaker for our 6 month old pup. My pup, Milo, had the best time, I got pictures every day. He got to play with her lovely dog and cat. Her little girl is absolutely adorable. Sofiya even taught Milo some tricks! I would recommend her to anyone who needs their pup to be taken care of. I will only be coming to her from now on.”
“Thank you Leah for taking such amazing care of Callie again! We missed her so much but knew she was going to be well taken care of by you. You always send the cutest pictures which reassures us she is doing well. I appreciate your quick responses. Thank you for providing a welcoming home for Callie to stay in while we are away. We will see you soon for our next stay that we’ve already booked 😁.”
“Anh took care of Mia like if it was her own. She provided updates and was always available if I had any questions. I will be rebooking with Anh next time I have to leave out of town.”
About: I grew up surrounded by any kind of animals. My family and friends always trust me their babies because I have so much love to give them! I’m a college student during the week. My best times would be weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I am open to chat if you need me at other times. I love animals very much so their safety is always first to me. I will not only make sure the furry ones are safe, but I will also engage and play with them so they don’t feel alone.
“This was our pups’ first stay with Rachel and we were gone for over a week, out of the country, so I was a bit nervous. Rachel gave me just the right amount of updates and photos. She was super attentive in learning their instructions which put me at ease (Molly is on a few medications.) I knew her calm demeanor was a good fit for our very mellow, easy-going dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: I recently said goodbye to my 15-year-old dog, Sarang, which deepened my love and understanding of animals. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making every pet feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable with routines, feeding, and care, and I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is flexible, and I work just a few minutes away in the same building, so I can check on pets frequently throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays after 2pm and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and keep their routine consistent. I’m able to provide attentive care with frequent check-ins—similar to how I cared for my own dog, Sarang, checking on her every couple of hours. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for your pet. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety at all times and pay close attention to behavior and comfort. I can separate pets if needed and make sure they feel secure and stress-free while in my care.
“Our dog, Teddy, had a great time here. They were able to take him on short notice and sent us a lot of pictures and videos of him while he was there. Definitely recommend and will use them again.”
“Highly recommended! Madhumita was very responsive, took great care of Maui (my 5 year old golden retriever) and provided regular updates along with photos and videos. I’ll be sure to avail her services in the future.”
“When our regular sitter wasn’t available for the last night of our vacation, Christy and Cornell came to the rescue. Zoey was very happy and cared for at pickup and they were great communicators!”
“i’ve left my dog hodu with ahiram a few times now and have had a great experience each time! hodu is always so excited to see her and her regular updates let me know he’s having a great time. i will definitely continue working with ahiram in the future!”
“I appreciate that Antonio and his family were willing to take our pups, Pip and Pumpkin on short notice. Pumpkin is an especially anxious dog and they provided safe and comfortable care for both dogs while we were away for the weekend. Thank you!”
“Lanie and her family took great care of Bentley! She was great at keeping us updated with texts and photos, and running things by us as questions arose. We would definitely recommend Lanie!”
“Pallavi was very kind, patient, and responsive, and has a lot of experience caring for dogs. This was our 1-year-old dog’s first time away from us, and she made the experience feel very low-stress. He had a few accidents when he got especially excited around new people or when people came home, and Pallavi handled those moments with patience and understanding. She kept us updated and sent several pictures throughout the 6 days, which we really appreciated. We felt he was in good hands with her!”
“Trishalee took good care of my little Peluche. She made sure Peluche was well fed, had his outdoor exercise time, got his multiple eye drops, and dropper remedies. Trishalee reported that he hardly whined while I was away, and Peluche can be quite a whiner! Peluche is a senior dog and I didn’t have enough time before my trip to leave detailed written instructions, but Trishalee managed Peluche’s care very well. She kept me up to date with photos and videos, and even washed all his meal containers! Peluche seemed right at home when I came to pick him up. Thanks so much, Trishalee!”
“Our Coco loved her stay with Jason. She had such a good time getting so much attention and spending time outside. The regular updates were great and we could truly enjoy our vacation. It is quite difficult to find someone who is good with reactive dogs. Our Coco is fine with other dogs, just not in the same house. So it was important to find someone who only takes one dog at a time. Jason loves dogs, takes such good care of them and we will definitely become repeat customers.”
“Very fast communication! Jamie sent me lots of photos and updates and took great care of my dog. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her to dog sit again.”
“Sarah was wonderful with my 12-year-old husky! I was able to spend a weekend away and to enjoy myself knowing she was in such great care. Sarah was in touch regularly and incredibly responsive when I reached out. I would absolutely recommend Sarah :)”
“We loved working with Steve! It was our first time leaving our puppy so we were a little nervous, but Steve made Reese feel right at home and comfortable. He sent us multiple updates every day which I was so grateful for. Not to mention he took us in VERY last minute in a holiday weekend. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Our pet had a great time with Diana and this was her second stay, really happy for our pet got to enjoy with her furry friends while the hosts took care of her thoroughly and kept us informed throughout our pet’s stay. Will definitely book again.”
“We were very happy to leave our little Mimi with Amy K. during our 8-day vacation in Europe. Amy immediately sent photos of how much fun Mimi was having while we were apart, and she informed us when Mimi would be going on a longer walk or excursion. We loved Amy's house, as it offered a dog door and back patio/yard, like our house, and Amy's own dog was very mellow and unthreatening to Mimi. Mimi ate well while we were away and seemed relaxed in the photos we were sent. We will definitely be using Amy K. again for our next trip away from home.”

This is the second time that Terry and Carole have watched Boone and Nova and were yet again blown away by their hospitality ❤️ they were very welcoming with our dogs routines/ feeding schedules and we never felt like we were burdening them with our care requests (ex. doggy teeth brushing) ! We received many fun updates and pictures throughout their stay and felt so at ease with our dogs in their care. Boone and Nova were very well loved and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better hosts!
I had to find a last minute sitter due to a change in plans and Malika was so quick with her responses that she made the process to make sure my dog has someone to watch him while I go out of town super easy. I received daily updates from Malika which always made me feel good that my boy was getting the attention and care he needs. I came home to a happy dog and would 100% use Malika’s services again. Thank you so much for taking good care of Finley!
Nabil did a wonderful job caring for my dog. He sent regular updates and photos, and his attention to detail with regard to my dog’s care made me feel completely at peace while I was on vacation. He was very accommodating of my dog when there was a change of plans, and it was clear that he cared for her like she was his own. I would definitely have Nabil watch my dog again!
We had such a great experience with Grace! Alfie (my 8 month old golden doodle mini) absolutely loved his stay with her, and I could tell he was so happy and comfortable when I picked him up. I was traveling out of the country and had never left Alfie for that long before, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Grace made the whole experience so much easier and gave me peace of mind. She is super kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Whenever I messaged her, she responded really quickly, and I really appreciated the daily photo updates so I could see how Alfie was doing while I was away. Her apartment felt safe and clean, which was really important to me since Alfie is still a puppy. She also followed all the instructions I provided and was happy to have me bring his crate, and took him on walks, so he could stick to his usual routine and feel at home. You can genuinely tell that Grace loves animals and cares about making them feel comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful she took such good care of Alfie, especially since this was my first time being away from him for an extended period. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and caring to look after their pet!
Anlin was great! We had such a positive experience, and he made sure to keep me updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout Bear’s stay. Bear always has the best time, and I really appreciate the care and attention both him and his dad gives. Highly recommend!
Mamie and Chen were exceptional sitters for my dog Pippa this past weekend, taking her on short notice and going out of their way to make Pippa feel very happy and comfortable during her stay. They did a great job accommodating her specific needs and managing her medications. They kept us updated with great photos and insightful observations and feedback. Pippa loved their cozy apartment complex, which is nestled in redwoods and walking-distance from a nice park. We will definitely be reaching out to Mamie and Chen again for future stays!
Natasha was absolutely amazing taking care of my dog, Momo for 8 days! Leaving a pet for that long can be stressful, but Natasha gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates and photos. Momo was so happy, well-loved, and kept his routine the entire time I guess. It's clear how much she loves animals and has a full responsibility. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you so much, Natasha!
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!!
Sofiya was an excellent caregiver while I was away at a wedding!!! Stella was so happy when I picked her up, I could tell she had a great time with new friends. They also helped my energetic girl get some good exercise! She took a nice long nap once we got home—proof that she got plenty of play time. Thank you, Sofiya and friends!!

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 Fruitdale 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 Fruitdale.
<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 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 , 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.
