“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Sara was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover for boarding and it was a great experience. She provided daily photos and updates which made us feel at ease while out of town.”
“SO GRATEFUL for knowing my 86 pound AmStaff loves going by Michelle’s house. I honestly feel guilty picking him up. He gets lots of love and attention and most of the time there are other dogs to play with. He has a blast. Michelle keeps Kota’s routine by having him sleep in his crate and feeds him twice a day like he is used to. I love all the photos and videos she sends while we are away. Kota is already begging us to book another vacation so he can go back by Michelle!”
“Lis was great! Very communicative and you could tell she knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with dogs including introducing them to feel safe and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to watch Fenway for me, from all the cute pics she sent me I could tell Fenway had one of the best weekends ever running around playing. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip! :)”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“Patti’s home is a second home to our dogs. She is great and takes wonderful care of my babies. They are my children and she always puts me at ease that they are getting loved. We use Patti on a regular basis!”
“Irina took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a week. We received photo updates and he had an amazing time with puppy playmates. He was exhausted when we picked him up. A tired pup is a happy pup!! Thank you again!”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“Once again, Sara and Jake were lifesavers when it came to watching my dog when I went out of town on short notice. I have a big, bouncey, energetic boy who can sometimes be a lot to deal with, but Sara’s calm, confident, and highly competent disposition always makes me feel so at ease about leaving my pup with her. She’s also amazing about communicating and sending little updates and photos, which makes me feel even better about sending my doggo off to have a fun getaway. Sara is top of my go-to list for sitters and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a sweet, fun, safe, and highly capable caregiver for their pet!”
“Pam was so great with Bridget. Bridget definitely seemed really happy when she got home and Pam sent pics and she looked very comfortable immediately. I am so glad we found Pam and will be happy to book again.”
“Tale’A was great! I would give her 10 stars if I could. She explained and showed me everything about what my dog’s stay would look like. My dog was immediately comfortable with her and her house. Her dog was the perfect match for my dog. I think my dog has a new bff. The backyard is a dream for an active dog. There was plenty of room both inside and out for my dog to roam around and sniff. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough. My dog had a great time. When I picked him up he was very happy and relaxed. He shows his stress and there was none just a very happy and tired dog from all the playing he did. He snored the whole way on our long drive home. I will definitely use Tale’A when we are back in the area. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy. If you are reading reviews looking for the best place to leave your pet Tale’A is the one you’re looking for. She’s the best.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Derek and Leslie. There quick responses to the messages, sending pictures of your dog and giving updates on the daily activities makes us feel happy and relaxed. Thanks for the help.”
“Danielle is the best! She is friendly, kind & hospitable. We did a meet & greet a few days before my dog’s scheduled drop off. She welcomed us in her home with her dog and we got acquainted. Her home is cute and comfortable. Danielle was a great communicator and even sent me a couple of photos during my dogs stay with her which helped alleviate some of my kids apprehension about our dog being with a new sitter. I know my dog was under the best of care and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. 💕”
“Ruchi & Nitin have been truly incredible sitters for our beloved dog. They have been extremely trustworthy and communicative. We really feel very grateful for their responsible, affectionate care they've provided.”
“Jonna did great job taken care of my baby fur! Luke loves Peaches, both dogs playful together. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luke. Recommend book with her. I will rebook with her in near future.”
“Nancy is a fantastic sitter! She is so attentive and took such great care of Frankie. It was our first time using her services and she made sure that not only I, but my dog, felt comfortable before the stay and during the entirety of it. She’s on top of her communication and I loved seeing how well cared for Frankie was while we were gone. Will definitely work with her again in the future. Thank you, Nancy!”
“Adrienne was great! This was my first experience with Rover and it was the perfect fit. Kona enjoyed his weekend away and I was provided pics and videos of all the fun he was having! Book with Adrienne and you are in great hands!”

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.
94% of sitters in Garden Valley 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 Garden Valley 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 Garden Valley.
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 Garden Valley. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Garden Valley 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.
