About: Hi, I’m Sarah! With over 12 years of experience caring for horses and a lifelong passion for animals, I offer a safe, loving home for your pets while you’re away. From dogs and cats to rabbits, goats, and even farm animals, I’ve cared for them all! I have experience administering medications, ensuring pets get the care they need, whether it’s daily meds, special diets, or extra attention. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or special care, your pet will be in good hands with me. Let me treat them like family while you’re away! Stay at home mom offering loving, reliable pet care anytime! Experienced with dogs, cats, and farm animals. Flexible schedule, medication administration, and a safe home environment. Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I have a secure, fenced-in yard where they can play alongside my friendly dog, Cana. Crating is available if needed, and I offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment. My home is in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood, providing a peaceful and safe environment for your pet.
About: I have worked as a detection dog handler and gun dog handler for a few years now. I have also trained my own dog to complete multiple tasks for different purposes. I know how to get your pup tired mentally and physically while having fun and have the patience necessary to help them learn new tricks and become familiar with a new place! I have a flexible work schedule so rest assured that your pup will get plenty of exercise and will play fun games throughout the day! I also live very close to a fenced tennis court (if your pup is into tennis balls and fetching) and a fenced park with soccer fields. I provide a safe and clean environment with a fenced yard and a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. I have an extra crate (size XL) if your pup is crated-trained. I also have lots of room to accommodate your own crate inside my living room. I have a doggie treadmill (Dog Trotter USA Inc), which we use to keep our dog active during very hot weather, and can use for your pup as well if interested! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. Dogs are never unattended for long periods of time, and I always monitor them to make sure they’re feeling safe and comfortable at all times.
“Needed daycare last minute for my spoiled and somewhat dramatic doodles and they had a blast with Lorrie and her pack. The property is amazing, lots of shade, secure fence and sweet doggie friends to explore with. Bonus - Lorrie’s granddaughter was visiting and spoiled my guys even more. We are in town occasionally and I will happily book again.”
“Bentley had the absolute best time with Deena. It could not have been more perfect. He played all day and came home a happy and tired pup. Deena and her husband clearly love animals and are excellent caregivers. Deena even sent us off with extra treats--some lovely squash and plums from her garden. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”

About: I bring a lifetime of animal care experience to every pup I watch. From leading 4H swine projects to raising multiple dogs at a time, animals have always been part of my daily life. I have taken several animal care courses and have an EMT background, so I am confident handling everything from routine needs to unexpected situations. I also specialize in leash training and love working with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. My friends laugh that I would make a great dog photographer because I cannot resist capturing their personalities and quirks. More than anything, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy starting mornings with walks, building in play sessions in the afternoon, and winding down with cuddle time in the evenings. Whether it is a quick walk, training time, or just hanging out together, I love making sure each dog feels included in the rhythm of my day. When dogs stay with me for boarding or overnight care, they become part of my household. They get a comfortable place to rest, plenty of playtime, and regular walks built into the day. I make sure their routines are followed as closely as possible so they feel at home, whether that means a favorite toy at bedtime or a certain feeding schedule. For daily walks or playtime day dates, I focus on keeping them active, engaged, and safe. Walks include leash training reinforcement if needed, and playtime is all about burning off energy in a fun, positive way. I know how important this care is because I have been on the other end of the service myself. That experience drives me to give every pet loving attention, a safe environment, and peace of mind for their people while they are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Gerber 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.
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 .
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 , 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
