“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with Toby! This was our first time leaving Toby with Stephanie for a 4-day, 3-night stay. Right from the beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and took great care to ensure Toby felt completely comfortable and at home before his stay even began. Thanks to her detailed attention, I was able to leave him with complete peace of mind. She followed all of Toby's care instructions perfectly, including administering his medications and keeping up with his regular meals and daily routines. Stephanie is such a warm-hearted, attentive, and caring petsitter. I strongly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry family member. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Monique is always fantastic! She treats Lucy like part of her family. I get pics throughout the day and can tell that she is well taken care of. She even threw in some training, which is definitely needed. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful with Cooper! They were so friendly and sweet with my boy, followed all of his care instructions, and made sure he got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I could tell from how happy and relaxed Cooper was that he had a great time. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind and caring family to look after him. I would absolutely rebook them!”
“We will be returning, Louis was absolutely amazing with Terror. From the minute we showed up Terror was so comfortable with him, Louis sent photos of him during the stay and took him on a much needed walk. I was so nervous leaving Terror but all of that went away when I met Louis. Terror stayed for a couple of hours while we celebrated my parents anniversary. Thank you again Louis!!!!!”
About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats (and other types of pets) over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. Although I will keep your house as tidy as possible if I am House Sitting for you. I live in Santa Maria, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara or San Luis Counties depending on the day(s). I would consider traveling further on the weekends if I am able. I am a responsible & trustworthy person, who genuinely enjoys caring for others. I work from home on Mon & Fri, so I am only unavailable during the day on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I am able to care for animals in the morning before I leave for work and every evening. I recently lost my dog at the ripe old age of 17, I used to walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. I work in conjunction with my partner who is home during the day, so if there is a need for more exercise, feedings or medication during the day, we can facilitate that. I enjoy the company of animals, so they would be included in everything I do, as much as possible. I used to take my dog everywhere with me. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a is fenced in yard with a locked gate.
“Heidi and Phil were simply amazing. I've used rover with some other care takers and these two are head and shoulders above the rest. I got videos and pictures every day and live updates. It made me feel so comfortable that my dog was in good hands. I will be booking with them in the future. I highly recommend Heidi you won't be sorry! Thank you Heidi for taking such good care of Bailey.”
“Suzette is amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable in the 5 days she stayed there. We met Suzette before we dropped our dog off to make sure our dog was a good fit, and we immediately felt good about Suzette and her home. We got continual updates and pictures, and Suzette even cleaned her food bowl, pet bed, and her blanket when we picked her up. Our dog definitely enjoyed her stay there and enjoyed the company of Suzette and her dogs. We will definitely use her again for future dog boarding!!!”
“Indy was well cared for and got to go on lots of walks. Natalie sent us pictures multiple times a day as well. Natalie was very responsive and super easy to work with. We would definitely use her again”
“Sarah was communicative and very caring of Boone. She went above and beyond to drop him off and pick him up from our wedding venue, and took extra care of him as he became overly anxious in the process. She can be trusted to take care of your dog!”
“Alicia was lovely to work with. She responded quickly to our need for a sitter and gave our pup a home away from home while we were away. I think he really felt part of their family during his stay. Thank you, Alicia!”
“Patty took such great care of my dog while I was out of the country. She was so caring and sweet, let him snuggle with her, and was sure to send me updates to let me know he was doing well. Ollie loved staying with her. I would definitely ask her to watch him again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a caring, reliable animal lover who would love to give your pets all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always take the time to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves playtime and cuddles or prefers a little extra space and a calm environment, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! Your pets aren't just pets; they're family. I’ll treat them like my own! 🐶🐱💕 I work from 6 AM to 3 PM, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends! I’m organized and dependable, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and drop-in visits around my work hours. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality, needs, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by keeping up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any special care instructions. I’m happy to give extra attention to shy or anxious pets and respect their boundaries as they warm up to me. I also prioritize keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their furry family members are happy and safe while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for!

Love Anna! We have big dogs with a strict schedule and a very detailed pdf of instructions regarding their everyday life and activities etc. She did just that and more! I felt her care and love for my fur babies through all the pictures and videos she sent. Which made us feel more at ease. We will definitely contact Anna for next time.

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.
95% of sitters in Guadalupe 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 Guadalupe 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 Guadalupe.
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 Guadalupe. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Guadalupe 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.
