“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my baby, Bella. They sent me updates with pictures of her to help me feel better, as it was the first time I left her. She's a newly adopted dog. Lauren reassured me that Bella would be ok. She was! I highly recommend Lauren to watch your four legged baby.n”
“Angela took absolutely fabulous care of River while I was away! From chicken dinners, trips to the dog park for fetch, and even adventures downtown for pup cups. River was a happy dog and loved every minute with her. I would absolutely trust Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!”
About: I am a devoted animal person. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and am experienced with puppies as well as senior dogs. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available for dog walking weekdays and some weekends. Open to special requests and needs. My home has a large doggie door which opens to large fenced in yard. Dogs come in and out as they please. Lots of play toys and special attention.
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
“Crystal was great! She took wonderful care of my golden retriever, Shawn. She sent cute pictures and updates daily! After playing with her dog Rosie and a couple other dogs she was watching, Shawn came back a happy sleepy boy! Thank you for taking such good care of my furry buddy!”
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
About: I’ve always loved cats and dogs I could never pick a side. I had a Chihuahua growing up and currently have a cat called Bonbon. So I know how to take care of both dogs and cats. I understand cats enjoy their space while dogs don’t understand that word. Which I don’t mind at all. :) I am currently going to school right now so I have a lot of time in between my days to take care of your pet(s) wether it’s stopping be for their meal time or taking them on a walk I am happy to do so. I have classes currently Mondays and Wednesdays so my availability might be little more tight but will still be available. I know how to keep pets safe such as know in what dogs and cats should refrain from eating and can make sure that your pet is always safe and knows they are being cared for while you are away.
“Roxy had a grand time— we know this because of all the videos Debby shared each day and because Roxy at first refused to leave when we picked her up. Outstanding dog person in every way!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. My first was Jackson, a 150-pound Alaskan Malamute who knocked me over daily, so big, strong, high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. Today I have three of my own, all friendly, loving, and good with other dogs, including Baxter, a 9-year-old who takes daily medication. Senior dog care and keeping to a medication schedule are part of my routine. I’m also a former Navy Hospital Corpsman and certified EMT. I’ve worked alongside military working dogs in Afghanistan, and I’ve administered IVs and handled emergencies under pressure. If your dog gets hurt or sick, I stay calm, act fast, and get them to a vet right away. Outside Rover, I regularly care for a lab puppy and a senior Shih Tzu on seizure medication, so I’m comfortable with puppy energy and with seniors who need extra attention and exact medication timing. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and an honest report on how your dog did. I treat every dog like family. I’m home all day, so your dog is never alone for long. Days include a morning walk, midday play and potty breaks, an afternoon walk, and plenty of downtime with me on the couch. Being here all day means I catch small changes fast, like a skipped meal or restlessness. I give my own senior dog his medication on schedule daily, so exact timing is routine. It’s a great fit for active dogs, puppies, and seniors who do best with company. I do a calm meet-and-greet first, so every dog is comfortable before a stay. At my place (boarding and day care): Your dog gets the run of a cozy, happy house with my three friendly pups, and we start with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels at home. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible: same food, same schedule, same medications. The backyard has a good-sized grass patch and a tall wooden fence, perfect for running, sniffing, and soaking up the sun. I love setting up sniff drills and treat puzzles for a happy, tired pup, and two parks within three blocks make walks easy and fun. At your place (drop-ins and walks): I follow your dog’s routine for meals, water, potty breaks, a walk, and plenty of play. Either way: You’ll get photos and a quick rundown of how your dog’s day went. I’m situationally aware and if anything seems off, I’ll let you know right away and get your dog to a vet if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety come first.
“Kylie (Ying) was amazing with my dog Pippa! She was suuuuper flexible and chill and sent cute pics and lots of updates. Her dog, Noodles, is really sweet too. Will be booking again!”
“With only a couple of days notice I asked Stefanie if she’d watch our shy little dog overnight who also needed to receive a couple of oral medications. Stefanie responded quickly to my request. Drop off and pick was easy and I received texts with updates & pictures showing our dog enjoying her stay. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Gabriel & Laura we’ were amazing care giver for my two dogs. They went above and beyond in caring for my dogs, and they also sent adorable pictures that assured me my dogs were doing great!”
“Stacie was so communicative, friendly, and understanding. She sent me pictures daily of my girl, and was so kind in all of her messages. Her family is incredibly loving. I can’t wait for her to watch my girl again in the future because I know that she’s in capable and safe hands!”
“Regina was amazing with Quinn. She sent us pictures almost every day, let us know how she was doing, and the friends she made with other dogs. Upon meeting her and Kyle, you can tell right away how wonderful they are and how much they love the dogs they take care of. I could not have been happier to have found her and will definitely be using her again whenever I need someone to take care of Quinn. I felt I could trust them with Quinn, and I was right. Thank you, Regina and Kyle. I highly recommend them if you need someone to love your dog when you are away.”
“Michael and Casey juggled their calendar so we could go to Hawaii and took great care of Lacey as well. Lacey was happy playing in the back yard with the other dogs, as well as taking daily walks. Additionally, I got lots of photos and news regularly. Michael and Casey will be caring for Lacey for our next trip as well—already booked!”
“Steven was so kind and helpful. I had never used Rover before and I feel I was blessed to find him. He sent pictures anytime I checked in and clearly took great care of my dog Lewis. Perfect location for if you use the airport bus service. Got off the bus and picked my pup up in 10 minutes.”
About: I’ve had pets in my life since childhood, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for pets is second nature to me. Since moving to the U. S. 20 years ago, I’ve looked after friends and neighbors’ dogs, including diabetic and senior pups that need extra love and attention. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m a UCLA nursing student currently doing clinical hours only three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexible time throughout the day. That means I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and long walks. Whether it’s daily check-ins or longer stays, I can easily fit pet care into my schedule and make sure your pup feels loved and cared for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I have a fenced yard and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. I also stick closely to their usual schedule. No matter the place, your pet gets consistent, loving care.
About: I’m a dedicated pet lover with a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I currently have a 10-year-old dog and a cat who is truly my baby, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Having grown up in a household with dogs and cats my entire life, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! I am the owner of my business with a flexible schedule. I am available every morning, all day typically Tuesdays and Fridays. And later afternoons Monday Wednesday and Thursday. Please reach out and we can go more into detail about your specific needs, I am flexible I will treat your home and your pet like they are my own. Having grown up with cats and dogs in my household my entire life I know how chaotic it can be. I will be there to minimize chaos and make your animals feel safe and comfortable.

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 Guerneville 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 Guerneville 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 Guerneville.
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 Guerneville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Guerneville 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.
