“Allison watched my two pups this past weekend. Before their stay with her we did a meet and greet and when I met her I knew she truly loves animals and my pups liked her. During their stay Allison shared updates regularly and sent me pictures to show me how they were doing. I really appreciated her updates, especially because it was my younger pups first time staying anywhere other than home. While they were in her care I knew they will well taken care of and safe. Thank you Allison for taking such good care of my pups! Can't wait till the next time.”

“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”

“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”

“Kyle was fantastic! He provided updates and pictures everyday and my dog, copper was well taken care of. Appreciate the attention and care provided! If I’m ever back through the area again, I will be sure to reach out to Kyle! Thank you!”

About: I have about 10 years of experience in caring for cats and dogs. Reliable, and passionate pet sitter. Ready to love your furry family member I offer a safe, reliable home away from home where your pet will fit seamlessly into a structured daily routine. While I work full-time, my days are anchored around dedicated "power hours" before and after work for long, brisk walks, secured backyard play, and fresh meals, ensuring dogs are content and relaxed. I provide a calm and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest.
“We had a great experience!! Morgan sent us updates and we knew Leo was doing completely well and having the best time, playing fetch, going on walks, or taking naps. Thanks, Morgan!”

“Ana gave me ideas on how to help my elder dog be less anxious, like bringing 1 of my shirts with my scent on it. She also had room for Puddles orthopedic bed which also smells like home. Her last sitter she had to sleep on the floor. After this 1 day test stay I could see Puddles was calm & relaxed. Today she begins a 17 day stay & I feel confident having Puddles live with Ana & her family.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. I believe pets deserve more than simply being checked on. They deserve attention, affection, play, and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who need help with house-training, crate routines, and learning good habits. I also enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and giving dogs plenty of positive attention. I’m equally comfortable caring for cats and love spending time playing with them, giving them affection, and keeping them company in their own home. My approach is patient, gentle, and attentive. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you’ve established for your pet and keep you updated so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime and companionship, puppy care, or someone to stay with them while you’re gone, I’d love to help make their time without you as easy and comfortable as possible. I am currently going to school part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible during the week. I am also open on the weekends too. I am attentive and caring and have a home with a fenced yard. My sweet, friendly dog is named Cali. She has a relaxed temperament and can be a gentle friend to keep your precious one company while you’re away. I have great attention to detail and do well following directions. I can easily crate if requested.
“Jori is amazing!!! Took excellent care of my two dogs, while I was away she was in touch sending me pictures and videos of my four legged babies making me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed my little vacation knowing my fur babies were well cared and loved she gets 10 stars 👍 I highly recommend her to care for your pets she is the best ❤️Thank you Jori!!!”


“Alyssa and her family were absolutely the best. My little Shih Tzu gets kind of shy and nervous but he warmed up so fast. I was sent update photos and I could tell my dog felt at home. If I’m being honest, he seemed not as excited when I showed up. Definitely recommend and will use this family again. Thank you isn’t enough!”

“Amazing! From the meet and greet to the drop off, the stay and the pick up, Angela was simply amazing throughout. Every update had fun details and every picture sent showed my baby’s happy face. We will definitely ask to avail of her services again!”

About: I’ve fostered and taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 14/15, I love both and get along with both as well:) Im the first my family/friends ask to look after their pets:) I’m currently looking for a better job and one that I love. Working with your pets/fur babies will make my day:) I’m available anytime any day and will provide top tier care for your pets:) I prefer to work within my clients home until I get my own place. But I will follow my clients rules on their pets and how to properly handle them:)
“Christina was amazing, we can’t thank her enough for taking care of are Charli, I’m pretty sure Charli can’t wait to go back for a sleepover!!’ So glad we found you !! I would highly recommend Christina to watch your dog.”

“I want to just thank these two. Followed instructions exactly as stated, gave frequent updates, and provided us with so many pictures and videos. Suki had so so so much fun with Nala and Thena and even got exposure to kittens that were being fostered in their home. I will definitely be a returning client.”

“Oh my god. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took care of both of ours dogs like they were her own. She always sent photos and videos throughout their stay. Loved it.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how special our pets are. I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, our household always being the one to contact when a pet sitter was wanted. I love taking photos of adorable animals, so I can assure you that you will receive plenty of your little one(s)! I also love running, so if your dog(s) want a little more exercise, that is doable as well! Any distance of a walk is great with me! I work full-time, so I am available on the weekdays before work (7AM and earlier), a quick drop in around lunch time (around 12PM) and after work (6PM and later). On the weekends, I am available any time. I offer walks for pups and drop-ins for dogs and cats. I’d love to get to know your little one(s) and help out your busy family at the same time.

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 Hickman 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 Hickman.
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 Hickman 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.
