About: I have been taking care of my Labradoodle Mokka for the last 7 years! We have grown up together and she’s taught me so much. I helped train her when she was a puppy, and still help her daily now after she’s grown up. Along with that I have spent time around many different dog breeds amd sizes, and I have yet to find a dog that I can’t get along with. I love to walk , cuddle, and play with these pups any chance I get! Although I currently am in high school, I have time almost everyday after school. I am very flexible, so most times after around 3 works perfect for me! If a problem comes up, I will push to find a solution that is best for the client and myself. Overnight dog sitting or house sitting will not be possible except on weekends, because of school. I’m a very diligent person, and I follow directions carefully. I will give each client 100 % effort, both the owners and their loving pets. I want the pets to feel safe and comfortable, because that is my top priority. Although I will be responsible and careful with all my clients, I will make sure the animals are happy and recirving tons of love as well!
“Yajaira did a great job watching my 11mo old Pomeranian! She kept me updated and sent pics and a video of her playing with her dog! So cute! I will definitely use her again when I’m in town for a visit!”

“Consistently awesome 👏 wonderful and caring with my birdie, giving her all the special attention and love 🦜 😍 giving her play and cuddle time, feeding her veggies and sending cute videos. I feel that my Ruby is in safe and good hands. I can go out of town in peace ✌🏼”

“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”

About: My husband and I love dogs.... when our beloved Yorkie died a few years ago and we retired early from city government, we decided to focus our love on caring for other people's dogs in their homes. We now have several on-going sit relationships in central California and are happy to have so many dogs in our lives that feel like grand babies to us! If you're interested in establishing an on-going relationship with us, to make your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible when you have to leave town, hit us up! Our preference is to work with 1 or 2 older/more relaxed dogs, that can be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. We lean towards being home bodies, but we enjoy going on walks/outtings, having play time and lots of snuggles. If we seem like a simpatico match to care for your pup, please reach out for our availability! We have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs/timing with plenty of notice. We enjoy exploring new areas and are happy to have your dogs show us all their favorite spots to hang out! Rather than upend your dog's routine on top of you being out of town, we will come to you! We are willing/able to handle any morning/evening routines (food/water, oral meds, walks, potty needs) and your dog can sleep with us if so inclined.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Trixie during our recent travels. You two are the best! It's hard for us to leave Trixie, but we are always comfortable leaving her with you. And I think she settles in with you quite well! Best, Judith & Mike”


About: I've owned dogs since childhood, often multiples at a time, and I've done dog sitting for friends and a few clients, so I'm comfortable with everything from mellow seniors to a livelier small pack. I know how to read dog body language and moods, which comes from decades of hands-on experience. I'm a former teacher with 20+ years working with kids and teens, and I now run my own coaching practice. That background makes me patient, attentive, and calm even when things get chaotic. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around it. On weekday mornings I usually head out for a short hike, so dogs get that outdoor time built right into the start of the day. Beyond that, they're checked on frequently and spend time with me throughout the day; whether I'm at my desk or tending the garden. Evenings and weekends tend to be even more hands-on, with more outside time and trail walks nearby if it's a good fit for the dog. Dogs in my care stay on our fully fenced 1+ acre property in the Santa Cruz Mountains (Bonny Doon), so there's plenty of secure space to roam and play without being near roads. We have our own friendly dog, plus two indoor/outdoor cats, so dogs need to be comfortable around other animals. Crating is available if that's part of your dog's routine or preferred by you. Just let me know and I'll set it up accordingly. I keep a close eye on food, water, and any specific routines or instructions owners share with me, and I'm comfortable handling medications or special needs if discussed in advance.
About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.
“Erica was great! My dog, Penny, seemed at ease with her from the get-go. Erica kept me informed throughout the experience. Pre-booking meet went well with her dog, and then the actual 2-day booking seemed to be problem-free, with several walk photos throughout her stay. Would definitely use Erica again!”

About: Hey dog parents! I cannot WAIT to meet your pup! I am attentive, patient, flexible, and super loving! I'll abide by your pup's routines, and will focus on any necessary training, if requested. Long distance, or slow and steady for the elders and the sniffers. Huge fan of beach time. I am an excellent and considerate house-sitter. I can board small/medium dogs at my place, but love to get to know the pup before hosting them. I am currently on the job hunt, so l am available full-time. When a dog is around, they get most of my attention. I also have an amazing partner who adores dogs, so double the attention! I spend a lot of time outdoors, so having a pup around just makes that even better. I am currently on the job hunt, so I am available full-time. When a dog is around, they get most of my attention.

About: I have been a full-time house & pet sitter since April 2023. I've bounced around Colorado, California, and a few other cities across the southwest. Growing up I always had 3-4 pets in my household and I want to continue sharing that love to animals everywhere. I lived with a number of pets ranging from dogs, indoor + outdoor cats, reptiles, hamsters, and birds. The husky in my photos is Lola. She travels with me everywhere and accompanies me on house sits. I have an extremely flexible remote working schedule that allows for peace of mind for pet owners. I can visit your furry friends on multiple occasions on a single day or multiple times a week. I'm happy to abide by any needs or desires of owners have while visiting their place of residence. Can send numerous pics and videos if requested.
About: Since youth, taking care of animals has always been a significant part of my life. From experiences of hamsters to dogs and to my grandparents, nurturing and deeply loving the smile it brings to my face has always caused me to continue for the many years that I have experienced. Back home, I have a 7 year old beagle who I truly miss spending time with and taking care of while away at college which is why I believe I can use my assets in taking care for the animals near my in my apartment in Santa Cruz. I am currently a college student at Santa Cruz with a means to transportation and can definitely fit pet care into my weekly routine due to my highly developed skill of managing my time efficiently and simply being a responsible adult. I have a lot of experience with a runaway pet who loves to try and escape so I am careful when entering and leaving my apartment.
“Highly recommended! Madhumita was very responsive, took great care of Maui (my 5 year old golden retriever) and provided regular updates along with photos and videos. I’ll be sure to avail her services in the future.”

“My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Norelvis was amazing with my dog, kind, attentive, and truly caring. I got updates and photos that showed my dog was happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was clearly well loved and cared for. I’ll definitely book with Norelvis again!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Juliana provided! She watched our three doodles for over a week, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. She kept us updated regularly, and it was obvious our dogs were not only well cared for but truly enjoyed their stay. Handling three doodles takes patience and experience, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. We came home to happy, relaxed pups—which says it all. Highly recommend!”

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.
92% of sitters in Gordola 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 Gordola 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 Gordola.
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.

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 Gordola 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.
