“Ted had a wonderful time with Sondra and Kirk. They were so easy to communicate with and just the nicest people! 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back for future stays.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and dependable dog lover offering a safe, loving home for your pup while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard for playtime, plenty of attention, and a calm home environment. Your dog will be treated like family, with love, supervision, walks, and lots of care.  I can provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I work from home and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on your furry family members whenever needed. Majority of my weekends are open and I'm available during holidays. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard. Inside my home there are lots of chairs to cuddle up on for a snooze or some pets.
“Taro stayed with Ailen, and I could tell she had such a great time! She was always so happy in the pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. 🥰 Ailen also took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Taro and how she should care for her, which was really reassuring. I think Taro even made some new friends! As she’s gotten a little older, she’s not quite as friendly with other dogs as she used to be, so it was really nice to see her enjoying their company and having fun. Ailen is wonderful if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her! ❤️”
“Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.”
“I left my 4 month old mini doxie pup with Claudia for doggie daycare! It was his first time being dropped off with a stranger for the day so I was a little nervous for her sake and his! Upon arriving I was greeted by Claudia and her incredibly calm and sweet dog! I immediately felt at ease seeing her energy around him (again calm, friendly) and knew he’d okay! Claudia was great at communicating updates about our pup throughout the day and I could tell he was having a great time. I was delighted to bring him back home and have him sleep right away haha, she clearly gave him a full, fun day of attention and activities. Very glad to have found a reliable dog sitter like Claudia and couldn't recommend her more!”
About: I've had a dog for 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, walk, feed, and/or check in on their fur babies. Currently job searching so have all the free time in the world to look after your dogs! They will be my number one priority when they are in my care! I live in a home with a fenced yard and very safe, walkable neighborhood. I am available for whatever service needed, including pet-sitting, walking, check-ins, feedings, etc.
About: I grew up in a dog-loving family. My dad is a retired police K9 handler, so I’ve been around well-trained working dogs as well as family pets my whole life. I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy breeds (my family currently has two Catahoulas), but I also have plenty of experience with small dogs, like Dachshunds and Frenchies. I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and sizes, and I’m experienced with giving medications when needed. My background gives me a calm, reliable approach that helps pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently a student at UCLA finishing up my degree, and I keep a consistent schedule that leaves me with plenty of free time in the mornings and evenings. That flexibility makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I always follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, that means respecting their space while keeping pets happy, fed, and exercised just as their owners would. I make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to details like feeding instructions, medications, and favorite toys. I also keep in touch with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Lili is very caring and considerate. I left my dog with her for daycare and she treated him so well that he treated her like family. Thank you so much for taking great care of Charlie :)”
“Highly recommend Lindy! She welcomed our close to 100lb 11mo old Dobermann toddler with a very last minute notice. Our pup really enjoyed spending time with her. She kept in touch with texts and photos. We were so glad to find her!! Definitely using her servive again!”
“Chris was incredibly thorough leading up to our doggy daycare time and during the day! He clearly is very knowledgeable about animals and training techniques, and I knew our pup was in great hands while we were away!”
“Jaime was great with Sage. Sage can be nervous first meeting people and Jaime was confident Sage would be taken care of and warm up. She sent several update photos and Sage had a great time. I will definitely hire Jaime again ◡̈”
“Alisa and her family were great! Clean house and lots of love for my boy Sherlock. Flexible with drop off + pickup for daycare. If I am ever in town again I would use her for sitting.”
About: I've had animals in my life ever since I was 7. From birds to dogs to cats. I love animals and love spending time with them. I'm currently working part time in the afternoons during the weekends. My availability for walks is Monday- Thursday at any time. I am available to watch your animal in either your home or mine :) I currently have 2 cats so as long as your pet is cat friendly, my cats are :) I am able to travel to your home as well and watch your pet if that suits more in your interest.
About: My golden retriever was my best friend growing up. I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I work from home and control my schedule so can take your pets for a walk pretty much whenever. My schedule is very flexible. I’m very active so usually run once a day already. I have a cozy and safe apartment and crate your dog if you needed. I can feed your pets at your house or mine and can accommodate to your schedule and needs.
About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I’m equally happy to adjust my routine for a senior dog or a pet who prefers a quieter day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.
About: Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog. Flexible. I live in a wonderful dog friendly community with lots of green space, and enjoy taking dogs for walks in nearby parks. I have plenty of time to play with you dog. Please Note: Doggy Day Care in my home is for 8 hours. Every dog has its own unique personality and needs. I am sensitive and flexible to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. By knowing their specific needs, I can tailor our outings to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for both of us.
About: I have worked as a vet assistant for 3 years with 15+ years of animal care experience. Experienced with dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. Comfortable administering medications, injections, and providing specialized care. As a lifelong animal owner, I treat every pet like family and strive to provide dependable, loving care you can trust. 🐾 I am currently an online Clinical Psychology student and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I can accommodate pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of playtime, companionship, and supervision. As a veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and following detailed care instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection to help pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Galivan
We had SUCH a great experience with Saeedeh (Lili) ! This was the first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous. We were so thrilled with how caring and attentive she was and were immediately put at ease! She sent photos all thru out the day, and took such good care of our dog. Will definitely be using her again!
Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.
Twix had such a great time with Claudia and her sweet dog, Wally! She took them to the park where twix had lots of fun, and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was so reassuring to know Twix was having fun and being well cared for. We really appreciate all the attention she gave him. Highly recommended.
Taro stayed with Ailen, and I could tell she had such a great time! She was always so happy in the pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. 🥰 Ailen also took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Taro and how she should care for her, which was really reassuring. I think Taro even made some new friends! As she’s gotten a little older, she’s not quite as friendly with other dogs as she used to be, so it was really nice to see her enjoying their company and having fun. Ailen is wonderful if you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to take care of your fur baby. I would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Jonathan was awesome! Our boy Murph is reactive, gets overaroused easily, steals anything he can get his hands on, and generally not super great with strangers (aka REALLY challenging). Jonathan followed our exact directions when first meeting him and Murph ended up loving him. You can definitely tell he has a lot of experience and patience. When we picked Murph up from daycare he seemed happy and calm, not stressed like he normally is at bigger daycares. He got two long walks and made two friends along the way. We look forward to booking with him again!
Ashley is a caring and kind sitter who did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Henry. She made sure he was loved and comfortable while at her home. She's responsive and sends photos of your dog so you can feel at ease while you're away. She has two sweetest girls that are amazing with your dog and Henry loved all the attention he received from them.
Alina is awesome! She took such good care of my sweet girl Honey when I needed last minute help while working away from home. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and notes about how Honey was doing. She took her on multiple walks, and Honey acclimated to her very quickly. I would absolutely book her again.

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 Galivan 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.
