“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
“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 very kind, understanding and helpful she accepted my last minute request. Great person and I felt extremely safe leaving my husky with her, she made sure to attend ALL my dogs needs. She made sure my dog was safe and loved for her stay! I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their pet! 10/10 service and very trustworthy.”
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.
“MK was an amazing host for our boy! He was sad to leave when we picked him up from having so much fun with his new friends. HAVING A HUSKY, the air tag was great for piece of mind. We will definitely bring our boy back in the future. Thank you MK”
“Nestor was able to accommodate opal when we were leaving town last minute. He sent us photos of her and we knew she was happy with him because she kept looking back at him when we picked her up. We are glad she was able to stay with someone who clearly bonded with her!”
“Margerita was very accommodating and understanding during the entire stay. I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time, but she communicated well and helped my husband and I ease our mind. My Australian shepherd is an anxious dog, but when I picked her up she seemed very happy and taken care of. I could tell that Margerita was able to handle my dog incredibly well and it made me extremely happy to have my dog socialized with Margeritas pets. I highly recommend her services, and I will definitely book through her in the future!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! From dogs to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, I’ve grown up understanding that every pet has their own personality, needs, and special place in their family’s heart. I’m also a master’s-level mental health therapist, so patience, compassion, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m currently a proud dog mom to Squirrel, my sweet senior rescue. Caring for her has given me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding an animal’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I believe in meeting animals where they are and providing the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. One of the perks of my schedule is that I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me flexibility throughout the week! I have Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely free from client sessions, giving me plenty of dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. During the rest of the week, I also have breaks between appointments that allow me to accommodate additional pet care needs, depending on availability. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to provide extended companionship and a consistent presence for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a pet parent and a mental health professional, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines and follow their family’s instructions closely. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions when applicable, and any special considerations related to age, temperament, or health. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level rather than rushing interactions or expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also believe communication is essential. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, thoughtful care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you peace of mind.
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.

“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much to Angela and Destiny for watching our fur babies! We knew they were going to be in great care when dropping them off. Angela kept us posted and sent us pictures of their stay too! We will definitely book them again in the future should we need to go out of town, we highly recommend them! Thanks again!!”
“Deb is a wonderful dog sitter. She understood that even great dogs have quirks and worked well to make sure our dog had a great stay—with swims in her pool! She also managed a couple prescriptions and was ok with a late pickup.”
“Mr. John took care of my first born fur baby very well! It’s nice to know I have someone reliable who can take care of my dog while I’m traveling. Will not be the first or last time booking with Mr. John 10/10!”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and currently take care of 3 of my own! I love my two cats and dog more than anything, and will take care of yours like my own. I am always open to being flexible when it comes to taking care of your pets! My schedule is always ready and open for any animal. When it comes to taking care of my pets, I make sure that they get the proper amount of love and time to play everyday. My attention is always on them, and they are my top priority.
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.

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 Hickman 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hickman. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
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.
