“Katelyn was great with our critters (senior dog & cat). She was very prompt, quick to respond to messages, and I loved the daily pictures. My pets often are a bit lethargic after staying in boarding facilities from the stress & excitement, but they were happy, healthy, and alert after their long weekend at Katie's home. We will definitely book care with her again.”

“Chris is great with my dog. I have complete trust in her knowing that she not only likes dogs, but she's a veterinary technician who knows a lot about dog behavior and health. In fact, she trained Darla to paw at bells when she needs to go outside (it worked!). Most importantly, she makes Darla's time w/her a positive one by taking her on walks to the beach and the frog pond. I always feel like she's getting a little "dog-cation" while I'm away.”

“Maria and Gregory took great care of our active 2 year old chocolate lab, Rookie. Maria sent pictures and videos of Rookie on walks, swimming in the river and playing in their yard with their lab, Ruby. We also received pictures of Rookie hanging out with all the humans in the house. It was clear that Rookie really enjoyed his stay and we felt confident that he was well cared for. We would love to book them again.”

Kept me updated with photos throughout the day and always replied to my questions quickly. She was lovely and if I need someone to watch Bronx again it will be her!”

About: Writing What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and the genuine love and patience I have for them. I grew up around dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep, and I’ve been trusted to care for other people’s pets since I was around 13 years old. I also currently work with senior rescue dogs at Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, where I help with their daily care and medication needs. This has given me experience working with older dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more TLC. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive, responsible, and treat every animal in my care as if they were my own! 😊 I’ve pretty much always had animals in my life, so taking care of them has always been something that comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and cats, but I’ve also had experience caring for other animals like chickens, goats, and sheep. I currently work part-time at Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, where I help care for senior dogs. Since I only work part-time, I have a pretty open schedule and lots of flexibility to work around different pets needs and routines. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company and giving them extra love while their owners are away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I always want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like I would with my own pets! When caring for pets, I like to stick to their normal routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I make sure they’re fed, get plenty of attention and playtime, and have everything they need. I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and understand that they sometimes need a little extra patience, care, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect their space, keep things clean, and follow any instructions the owner leaves for me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. I’ll always treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for! 😊

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.

“Jill was a great dog sitter!!! Her and her husband spoiled our Great Dane! . I love that they live next to the dog park! I know that is a huge plus for our dog. Jill was extremely responsive with great details of what was going on. I appreciated her fast responses, her positivity and the pictures! She really made us feel comfortable leaving him there. We are grateful she is happy to welcome Beau back. Not everyone can handle a 165# Great Dane in there space. As Jill and her husband saw, Beau gives no personal space, he just wants attention and love the whole time, and the way their daily life is set up I looks like Beau got exactly what he wanted. Loves of love, lots of social /play time with the dogs at the dog park, lots of attention when back at the house and plenty of opportunities to sleep, exactly how a Great Dane likes it!”

About: I’ve cared for large, senior, small, young and special needs cats and pups for nearly a decade. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with yours My working hours are flexible during the week, I don’t have children to tend to, and I’m free all weekend so I can spend more time playing with your furry children. They’ll get plenty of play time and walks as needed. I have a fenced yard and two doggies to keep your furry baby company. If they prefer to be alone, we can go to my office where there is a large open area for them to roam, rest, or watch people walk by. If your furry friend prefers to stay in the comfort of their home, my hours are so flexible I can either stay or check in and walk them as needed

“This was the second time my puppy Bruno stayed with Grace and Claudio! They were awesome sitters over the weekend. Plenty of updates and they stick to what Bruno likes- playing fetch and running around! I love that they give feedback about how Bruno behaves as it gives me the sense of security that he is being well watched/ taken care of.”

“Yessina and Sophie and their 3 children were the perfect introduction for my 6 month old puppy, Pixie, to experience her 1st dog sitters! They were very kind and gentle with her and her shyness didn’t faze them. Buster my 8 year old terrier who is cautious around strangers, but a real gentleman, picked his spots to lay down and wait patiently and was calm when I arrived. Even though both dogs refused to eat while they were there for the day, I was very happy with the care given by this family. They really listened to me and followed my suggestions! I’m planning on returning and rebooking with them!”

“I do not exaggerate when I say that I love love loved Jayla and her services! She was so attentive, caring, communicative (always sent pics & messages) and understanding. I am constantly moving and finding a new person to leave my babies Rocco and Benjii with is so difficult. I’ve tried multiple people from my area, however, NONE compares to her. She understands how my Benjii is a bit socially awkward and prefers his space but my Rocco is just crazy and wants to love everyone and everything. She respected both their boundaries and needs. I will leave my most precious treasures with her again in a heartbeat!! Thank you again Jayla for everything, I really appreciate the love and care you gave them! 🫶🏼🥺”

Isabel is THE best! We honestly felt like we left Nala at a luxury resort for the weekend! Isabel communicates so well, goes above and beyond, and sent the sweetest pictures along the way. She took Nala on fun outings, and we were able to completely relax knowing she was being so loved and cared for. We couldn’t recommend Isabel more!

What a fantastic Rover experience. Ala was able to accommodate me at the last minute, even though I was a first-time client. She responded quickly, taking care to make sure that my lab, Scooby, would get along well with her “regulars.” Communication was great throughout, and she shared lots of pics and videos documenting their adventures, whether it was out hiking, swimming, or running around at a nearby field, or just playing in the backyard. And at pickup, it was clear that she had really gotten to know Scooby’s personality—she’s a total dog person and it shows. I’d rely on Ala again in a heartbeat—thanks for a great stay!

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.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Hacienda Carmel home-away-from-home, 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 Hacienda Carmel.

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.

You and your Hacienda Carmel 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 , 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 .

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.
