“Valeria was absolutely amazing and the sweetest. She kept me updated throughout LD’s stay and was very responsive. I wasn’t worried about how LD was being treated while with her. When I went to pick him up he was so happy and running around, he truly had the best time. Her backyard is quite big, so LD had a lot of space to runaround and be free.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“She was wonderful and super attentive. My dog enjoyed playing with her son, win, win! She did everything I asked of her to do. Already have her booked for a second visit.”
“I’m a pretty anxious dog owner, especially since my little dog isn’t very social with other dogs but absolutely loves people. Edwin and Jenn were fantastic from start to finish. Before the boarding in their home, they suggested a quick meetup to get to know my dog and introduce their two dogs, which really helped to ease my nerves. Their dogs are quite lovely and chill, I must say. During the stay, regular updates and photos were sent, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. I had provided a two-page guide outlining my dog’s schedule, behavior and emergency contacts because I like to be prepared. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I felt a sense of calmness while traveling. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as much as you do, Jenn and Edwin are the go-to! I’ll be booking with them again.”
“Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Noreen and Seal have a very special bond. He never wants to leave her side when he spends time with her! I appreciate all the updates she sends me to let me know he’s safe and happy :)”
“Katy was so accommodating and kind! She has a great yard for dogs and my dogs came back looking happy and well fed! She's great at sending pics/videos. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I can't say enough great things about Rebecca and Donald! They helped out in an emergency where I was already out of town and blessed our pup with so much love and care. Mutilple updates daily and made him feel right at home and helped put me at ease knowing he was in such good and loving hands. I would happily book them anytime in the future, absolute 10/10 people ❤️”
“Tian was great with our pup. I needed a sitter for a last minute trip and he was super quick to respond. Always responsive and kept me constantly updated with pictures of our dog. I felt good about her being with Tian and would definitely use him again.”
“Our usual dog sitter suddenly became unavailable so we contacted Chieko through Rover the day before our trip. She responded right away and we set up a 2 night plus one day stay. We were nervous to leave our beloved senior dog with a stranger that we we’ve never met but we didn’t really have a choice so we crossed our fingers hoping for the best. Well, we were not disappointed. Chieko immediately began putting our minds at ease with a notification and picture within 10 minutes of us leaving. During his stay, she sent many updates and pictures and was very accommodating to the needs of our dog. He seemed to enjoy all the outings, walks and interactions with his new doggie friends. He came home happy which made us happy. I highly recommend her to take great care of your dog and will not hesitate to call on her again.”
“Katie is the best!!! She would send me updates about my girls and pictures daily. She really put my mind at ease while caring for my dogs. This was my first time booking with Katie and I am most definitely re-booking her!!! I highly recommend her. I’m giving her 10 stars forget the 5 stars max on rover!!!!”
“Lacey did a great job with our almost 5 year old lab mix. She sent photos and our little Lady came home happy and tired. Will definitely work with Lacey again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Ronald. He accommodated my super last-minute request, responded quickly when I reached out for updates, and sent me pictures of Coco regularly. I felt like she was in great hands, and I was able to enjoy my trip worry free. I’m very appreciative, and will definitely reach out again when I need to board her.”
“It was my first time doing Rover and also leaving Hedwig for such a long time. Elaine and her husband were recommended by my neighbors and I'm glad I took their advice. Hedwig came back home happy and healthy and I got very frequent photo updates about his activities. He went on walks, played with plenty of toys and other dogs, and learned how to use a doggy door. Would definitely board him with Elaine again.”
“Harley was fantastic! This is the first time I've left my puppy with someone overnight and wasn't nervous about it at all, I just got this great vibe that I could completely trust her to care for my pup. Harley was professional, responsible, courteous, caring, and fun while we were gone for 5 nights. Leica, our pup, came back happy, well fed, tired, and CLEAN! Not only did Harley vacuum up his bed and clean up his toys before she gave them back, but she gave Leica a bath as well! I don't know what she did differently than I do, but he was SO soft, too. Harley's dog, Brisco, was a great playmate for Leica, they were about the same size and Brisco is a very sweet boy, and I was told they shared their toys and even bed with one another. The best part? Harley sent TONS of photos of my happy pup, which always eases my mind while I'm away :) I will absolutely be using Harley again in the future, and I highly suggest that you do as well!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
Jenny was the absolute best!! We were initially a little nervous about booking through Rover and leaving our dog Huey with a “stranger”, but after meeting Jenny in person, we immediately felt so much more at ease. Huey instantly gravitated toward her and didn’t even look back when we dropped him off! She sent us the most adorable photos every day, which made our trip so much more enjoyable because we could relax and truly enjoy our time away without worrying about Huey. She administered his medication on time and stuck to his usual care routine. It was clear that he was in wonderful hands and received so much love, attention, and care while we were away. She even sent him home with the sweetest treat bag and goodies! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. It felt like leaving him with family we could trust. We’re so grateful to have found Jenny and will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips. Highly, highly recommend!!
Each time we leave our senior pup with John and Miyabi, they go above and beyond to ensure her comfort. Our dog requires different medications for medical conditions and currently has a torn ligament in her knee. She was in the best hands with John and Miyabi and came home happy and healthy.
Jasmine took care of our son’s Maltipoo, Calvin, for about 13 days while we were away, and she was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and showered with love and attention. Knowing Calvin was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. Jasmine did an amazing job, and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Jasmine, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Calvin! ❤️🐶
I had a wonderful experience with Valeria! She took great care of my pet and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Alice took such wonderful care of our boy! He had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs, and Alice and her family were so sweet, loving, and patient with him the entire time. Finding a dog sitter who is both truly reliable and an excellent communicator is such a relief. While we were away, she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our pup living his best life. We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!
Sylwia was AWESOME! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of cuddles and attention. We know how comfortable and happy he is with her because every time we drop him off, he heads straight into her home without even looking back at us! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Rudy is in such loving hands. We highly recommend Sylwia!
Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.

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.
94% of sitters in Gardena 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 Gardena 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 Gardena.
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 Gardena. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Gardena 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.
