“Bernard & Hung provided such great care for Albaloo while we were at the Disney parks for the day. We were a bit nervous at the beginning as my dog has never stayed at a Rover day care before, but luckily Bernard & Hung have such great experience with taking care of Pomeranian dog, and they have been very good at communication - fast responded our messages and proactively shared photos and videos of my dog during the day. Well highly recommend them to anyone visiting Disney / Orange County and need someone to take care of their dogs.”
“Alvaro and his mom took such great care of our precious dachshund Maybel. We had never left her with anyone before. I am so grateful we found them to look after our pup. They both have such a kind warmness about them I knew the minute we dropped Maybel off she would be just fine. Alvaro was great with communication and sent us photos of Maybel through out the day. We did doggy day care two days in a row and Maybel was perfectly fine going back the second day. She was even excited to see them. I would highly recommend them! They also conveniently live 15 minutes from Disneyland it was so easy to be able to drop Maybel off while we spent the day at the park.”
“Highly recommend Jenni! She was flexible with time, and very attentive with sending us updates on how marlow was doing through her time there. I definitely will be referring her to friends!”
“Annalie took great care of my Riley boy!! Super fast and great with communication!!! Pick him up with short notice and was very flexible!! Would recommend to others!!!”
“Heather is super caring and dog friendly. My dog Sokka knows when we pull up to her house because gets super excited and whiny. He fairly launches out of the car to get to her door.”
“Had to do a last minute booking and Alexis was able to accommodate us and even did a last minute extension due to the evacuation, she is a literal life savor. 100% would rebook in the future.”
“She was amazing with our pup while my family and I were at Disney. Communication was excellent, and we loved receiving regular photo updates throughout her stay. We would absolutely book with her again if we ever return to California.”
“Alice and her family took such good care of Max while he stayed with them for doggie day care. They made him feel right at home with two of his favorite things—a lap to curl up on and exploring at the park. They provided frequent updates and pictures too. I would highly recommend Alice and her family!”
“Chris has always been extremely responsive and communicative since day one. We were so pleased to be able to sit Yuna with him for the day. She felt very comfortable and made new friends! :) We’re excited to board her and setup many new future sessions with Chris!”
About: I have valuable pet care experience from living in a condo with a housemate who had two cats. On weekends when he was away, I took on the responsibility of caring for them. This included weighing their food, cleaning their litter box, and refreshing their water daily. I also administered medication to one cat with hyperthyroidism, ensuring she received the proper care she needed. Additionally, I’ve housesat for a friend, where I fed their dogs according to strict diet plans. This role required me to wake up at 6 AM to ensure they were fed on schedule. Through these experiences, I developed strong pet care skills and a deep appreciation for the well-being of animals. I’ve always wanted a dog, but coming from a traditional Chinese family, my parents have always said no. By taking care of others' pets, I aim to earn money to pay off grad school and work toward my dream of adopting a dog one day. My flexible work hours allow me to choose my schedule around pet care, with the exception of a few required meetings throughout the week. This flexibility makes it easy for me to dedicate time for walks, playtime, and overall care, ensuring that the pet feels loved and engaged. After a long day at work, I find great joy in taking walks allowing me to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Caring for pets in a client’s home involves following their established routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I ensure pets receive their meals on schedule and get plenty of exercise. I also maintain hygiene by cleaning litter boxes and refreshing water, while administering any necessary medications. Safety is a priority, so I keep the home secure and monitor for hazards. Additionally, I provide affection and companionship to ease any anxiety the pets may feel. Regular check-ins with the owner keep them updated on their pets’ well-being, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away.
“Marlana is awesome! Super nice and has an apartment currently right next to a dog park. Sent me photos throughout the day and kept me updated. Demitri made himself super comfortable in her place and obviously (from the photos & videos) enjoyed himself thoroughly. Will be coming back to her again!”
“Julie was an amazing sitter for my baby. I had many updates and pictures. It was very obvious my dog enjoyed her time at Julie's home. You can tell she loves LOVES dogs so much. Her babies are the cutest, too! I 100% recommend her.”
“She was amazing with our doggy. He had the great time and love playing with her dog. He was exhausted when we picked him up and she sent multiple videos of him having fun. She was very communicative and was sending updates all the time. She's definitely a great dog sitter and I'll definitely book her again!!”
About: I love dogs and have been raising them for more than 10 years. My relatives and friends usually ask me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I’m available for boarding from 11am to 6pm weekdays and weekend and always available via call/text. Your pet will receive lots of attention and get at least one 30 minutes walk a day. I have a spacious, fenced backyard and a mini poodle to keep your dog company. Dogs are free to roam the house and sleep where they are comfortable.
“Valarie was very kind and helpful. She shared everything we need to know so that we felt no concern at all, but could enjoy our time. She was also very flexible to meet our situation in the last minute, which was also very helpful for us!”
About: I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their needs and follow care instructions carefully. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm patient, reliable, and committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages, so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home during the week, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship. On weekends, my family is also home, so there is always someone available to supervise and care for your pet. This means your pet will have company and attentive care seven days a week, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where pets can relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as comfortable as possible. Because I work from home, I can provide regular supervision throughout the day and quickly respond to your pet's needs. I introduce pets to new environments at their own pace and always use secure leashes and safe handling practices during walks. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have been taking care of kittens, puppies other farm animals since I was a child so it is not new to me to look after dogs or cats. As I am retired, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your beloved pet. They will receive lots of attention, companionship, and loving care throughout the day. I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone else can be difficult. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your pet. You can have peace of mind knowing they will be treated with kindness, patience, and affection, just like a member of the family. Your beloved pet will feel safe, comfortable, and right at home in my care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide a loving, calm, and secure environment where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.

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!
Lisa is great! We dropped our dog off while spending the day at Disney and she was very accommodating with our plans. Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but Lisa sent lots of photos and videos and it seems she warmed up to her very quickly and enjoyed her home! She followed our dog’s feeding and medication schedule, and generally provided care that put us at ease. Thanks, Lisa!
Thank you, Kristi! You ARE the best PET sitter indeed! We love your lil furboo Penny too. 🐶 Simba & I are missing her already! We appreciate your sweet demeanor & true flexibility for folks going to Disneyland. Here's a little something extra for you online. 😊 We will definitely look you up next time we're in town to take care of our family furboo, Simba! Thanks again!!
Jenny was great with our two cattle dogs! She made us feel comfortable that she would take good care of them. She is super flexible and easy to work with. Sent us pictures through out the night. We plan on using her services again soon and would highly recommended her!
First time leaving our pup with a sitter and they were great! Maxx often has a hard time eating when he’s on vacation, so they even tried to hand feed him like I requested -wow 🤩. Lots of walks and play time by video. They even allowed us to pick up late when we were delayed at Disneyland (Saturday means longer lines than ever). Thank you for helping Maxxee feel at home!
Our pups had the pleasure of being cared for by Elizabeth and her sweet mom. We did doggy day care for 2 days. We did an initial visit on video and Elizabeth showed us the set-up. Perfectly equipped with open space, outdoor area for the doggies to roam, and bedding for their comfort. Our boys enjoyed having little friends and being walked and came back to us happy and tired at the end of the days. Elizabeth was super communicative and friendly and just great overall. Thank you guys so much!
I had a positive experience with Trinh overall, and Bentley seemed happy and comfortable during his stay. Trinh was kind and caring toward him, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent. It was reassuring to see Bentley doing well and enjoying himself. I also appreciated how welcoming and affectionate her family was with Bentley. He seemed to enjoy spending time with her parents and cuddling with her boyfriend. The main area I think could be improved is communication about who would be responsible for Bentley during the booking. Since Trinh’s profile presented her as the sitter, I booked with the understanding that she would personally be responsible for his care. During the stay, I learned that her parents were involved in caring for him and that her mom would be bringing him out to me at pickup. I was also later informed that her boyfriend would be caring for Bentley the following day while Trinh was away. I completely understand that family members may help, and my concern wasn’t about them personally. I simply hadn’t met or communicated with them beforehand and hadn’t expected someone other than the sitter I booked to be responsible for Bentley. Since he can be anxious, it’s important to me to know in advance who will be caring for him and to have the opportunity to communicate with anyone who will have that responsibility. I ultimately decided to cancel the following day because I wasn’t comfortable with the change in arrangement. Trinh was understanding and offered to reimburse me, which I appreciated. Overall, Bentley had a good experience, and I’m grateful for the care, updates, photos, and kindness shown to him. I think clarifying in advance whether family members or partners will be involved in a pet’s care would make the experience even better and give pet parents greater peace of mind.

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 Garden Grove 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 .
