“My corgi, Penelope, stayed with Lorelle for a week, and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Penelope took to her right away, which was what I was most apprehensive about, and it immediately put me at ease. Lorelle sent photo and video updates every day, and I loved seeing how happy and comfortable Penelope was. Penelope has her little quirks, and I really appreciated how accommodating Lorelle was with her routine and preferences, including giving her a designated area and plenty of outside time and attention. I knew Penelope was in great hands and would absolutely book with Lorelle again!”
“Bani is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cash and treated him like her own baby. I felt completely secure and comfortable having him board with her, even for a couple of weeks. She and her family were so attentive, loving, and patient with him. I really appreciated the daily photo updates, they always gave me peace of mind and made me smile. I highly recommend Bani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Cash can’t wait to visit again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Tara! She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, and made sure to prioritize our dog’s needs. Our dog played a lot with her dog, and with the backyard space available, her place seems to be a perfect space for dogs. We will 100% be hiring Tara again for our dog care needs! She’s a pro 💯”
“Patricia was wonderful! She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated with pictures. Skylar seemed very happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Patricia and book with her again.”
“Seriously, she was an absolute lifesaver for our furry friend. We got so many adorable updates and photos, it really put our minds at ease. Knowing our dog was having such a good time made our trip so much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be booking her again for our next getaway. You won't regret choosing her services!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with Claudia, felt as though she looked after slinky as her own pet. The home environment was calm and pet proofed. I highly recommend Claudia for your pet”

“Gayl took such great care of my pup! I loved the daily updates and I could tell that my dog was happy and relaxed in every single one. I would definitely leave Diego with her again!!”
“This was our second time leaving Kulfi, and they took such great care of her again. Xiaoying sent lots of photos and videos, along with detailed updates that gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Kulfi looked happy, comfortable, and playful, which means so much to us. We really appreciate how attentive and caring they are, and we’d absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin and her family were incredible! They made my dog feel like a member of the family, and Caitlin was amazing at sending me pictures and staying in touch the whole time. I felt so grateful to have Avalanche looked after so well while I was gone, and I will absolutely be using them again for all of my future dog-sitting needs!”
“Linda was absolutely patient with my dog honey! She even offered to give honey a bath and I really appreciate that, she is a trucker dog so we dont really get to give her a bath sometimes. Linda also sent updates and pictures the whole stay. Highly recommend”
“I was so nervous to leave my dog Phil with another family because he’s kind of skittish and is attached to me. As soon as Phil met Stevie they became instant best friends! Wendy is so accommodating and sends daily pictures (not to mention she takes awesome action shots). When I picked Phil up I could tell he bonded with the entire family. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to do dog boarding. She is so kind and you can tell she loves animals. She will be our go to every time now.”

“Michelle was wonderful with my dog, Rusty! She has a very dog-friendly household, and I could tell right away that Rusty was happy and well cared for. When I went to pick him up, he actually didn’t want to leave—which says so much about how comfortable and happy he was there! I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely trust her with Rusty again. Thank you, Michelle, for taking such great care of him! 🐾❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Galivan
Lorelle was great with Adam. She administered him medications with no problems and attended to his special needs. She was very communicative and sent photos or videos regularly. I felt like Adam was in good hands with Lorelle, she is very experienced and is very kind.
Caring and accommodating! Lindy integrated our Quinoa into her family (kids and pets) seamlessly. I don't think our dog missed us at all.....great walks, lots to do. I won't hesitate to book her again. She was a pleasure to work with and sent numerous pics and videos while we were away. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
Anu was our first sitter experience with Rover, and she made the process easy and stress-free. She provided many photos and videos, and gave us a detailed report on things (arthritis flare-up and allergies) we’d flagged for her when we met. We can’t wait to use Anu again!
Connor was fantastic! He accommodated a last-minute booking for Jupiter for three nights, and everything went perfectly. His home is very nice, clean, and well-suited for dogs. One particularly reassuring aspect is that his current household arrangement allows for someone to always be home, which provides great peace of mind. Connor also sent updates and photos throughout Jupiter’s stay. Overall, an excellent experience! I highly recommend Connor and look forward to using him again.
Hannah was wonderful as our pet sitter for our dog, Blue, while we were on a cruise for five days. Her communication was great—she kept us updated and always made us feel at ease. She also went above and beyond to make sure she could accommodate our requests. We’ll definitely book her again, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.
I’m not one for reviews but in all honesty she was amazing. I 100% recommend Saeedeh if you need boarding or even a play buddy. She’s attentive, caring, responsive, and it doesn’t take long to realize how much she cares for any pets. She has amazing energy and it shows throughout her services. Will come back for sure👍🏽
Radhika was great with my senior dog! She was patient with him as he adjusted to a new space and administered his medication on time. My dog had so much fun while he was there, he almost didn’t want to leave! She also sent many photos and updates so I never worried about him while we were away.
My dog and I had our meet and greet and instantly fell in love with Patty and her family. My dog jumped on the couch and fell asleep, he seemed to feel right at home. He also became BFF with her puppy Glitch. I was gone for 3 weeks and was 100% comfortable with where my puppy was. Patty communicated with me daily and sent pictures I could tell my dog was very happy He even got a couple baths. We will definitely be using her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Galivan is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $95 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Galivan 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 Galivan 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 Galivan.
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 Galivan. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Galivan 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.
