“Koda had a blast being with Renee and her family. This was only our second time using rover and our previous sitter was unavailable. Renee was great and I was very happy to hear that Koda is enjoying playing around with the other dogs they had as well. He didn't want to leave and jumped out of my car when I went to pick him up so clearly he enjoyed himself. 😀”

About: I am currently a biology major in veterinary school. My love for animals began as a child with my mom being a crazy cat lady and with the start of FFA in high school. I have now decided to carry my love of animals into my young g adult life. I am in college and work part time as a nanny for a divorced dad along with 2 other families that use me about 1-2 times a week only for a-couple hours. The dad I work for has his kids every other week so during the off week my schedule is very open. When he has his kids I work for him for 2-3 days out of the week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment for every pet. My home has a spacious backyard for outdoor play, and I have two cats, a leopard gecko, and a tropical fish tank. I’ll follow your pet’s routines and care instructions closely, and I can keep pets separated as needed to help everyone feel secure.

About: We basically had a zoo in my home growing up. I’ve had pets since elementary ranging in a variety of breeds from chihuahua to bulldog to boxer to husky. I currently have a 16 year old chiweenie, a 2 year old shepsky, and two cats. I am a student at San Diego State University but I am currently in New Jersey for the summer and would love to hang out with your fur babies:) I can crate your pet or give them a bath if needed. I’m also really good at following instructions so as long as you leave a short description of what you need to get done I got you.
“Our pups loved their time boarding with Summer. She kept us informed through out the week on how our two dogs were doing. She sent pictures, videos and text daily which made us all feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Summer for any of your needs! She is caring and treated ours like they were her own. My family loves Summer!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I helped care for my childhood dog while he had cancer, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to provide extra care when a pet is sick. I’m also comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, cleaning up after pets, exercise, and keeping their environment clean. I currently have three Golden Retrievers of my own, who I absolutely love and consider part of my family. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM Monday through Friday and I’m off all weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with my dogs and making walks and playtime part of my weekly routine. I would love the opportunity to give other pets the same attention, care, and companionship I give my own. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, and give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and always keep the space clean and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and pay close attention to their behavior and needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gosford
Our dog Maggie fell in love with Glenda. We left her with Glenda on Saturday for the first time. Glenda received her with soo much love and excitement. When we took Maggie back the next Saturday, she ran to Glenda. That made me soo happy to see how much Maggie loved her and was excited to see Glenda. We will definitely use Glenda again when we are back in Bakersfield. Thank you Glenda.
Glee was the most amazing dog sitter!! It was my first time using Rover as I was going out of town for work. Glee’s responses were super quick and very accommodating. She ensured my dog was well taken care of and safe the entire boarding of 4 days. I received multiple updates a day of how she was doing. Roxy came back super happy!! I will 100% recommend Glee to anyone and book in the future for any dog boarding needs!!
Carolina was awesome!!! I was hesitate to leave Cisco since we never left him before with anyone. But he did great. Caroline sent pictures during the day while the family was in Disneyland . I definitely will have Caroline watch my Cisco again. Thank you Caroline!
Liz and Jill were amazing. It was my first time boarding my two dogs. After three nights and constant updates and photos, it made me very comfortable and I knew they were being well cared for. One dog didn't eat much the first day, and I received a photo of her being spoon feed. Aww, melted my heart. I will book again for sure. Thanks Liz and Jill.
Jess was amazing with our boy. Brutus seemed very happy and comfortable to be there with Jess. Jess was very informative and we got plenty of picture's and video updates of our boy. Responded in a timely manner and we needed a last minute sitter and Jess was very happy to help us. 10/10 would let Brutus stay with Jess if we happened to be in the area again.

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.
96% of sitters in Gosford 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 Gosford 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 Gosford.
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 Gosford. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Gosford 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.
