“I had just finished writing an extensive and detailed message, explaining how they were great with First timers using this kind of service, but then my phone froze and deleted that long detailed review and I’m not gonna take the time to do it again 🤣. Just know that they knew how to handle first timers. I highly recommend them.”
“Mel was wonderful with my pup Marshmallow this past weekend. Mel was very communicative before and during her stay! We met at a nearby park for our dogs to meet, then Mel showed me around his yard/home during our Meet & Greet. His yard was spacious enough for running around and was entirely enclosed - I had no worries of my dog accidently getting out or feeling confined. When I dropped Marshmallow off he had his dog and another dog staying separated out in the house so that they could all be introduced slowly and not get too hyper right off the bat. This allowed my pup to have a few moments of sniffing around and feel safe as I was leaving. I received multiple photos throughout the day about how she was doing and it made me feel very at ease. Mel was amazing and brought her and her stuff out to help me load back up into the car when I picked her up as well! I would highly recommend Mel if you are in the area!”
“I left my dog for the first time with someone he doesn’t know and Madalyn did a great job with him. He’s typically timid and afraid of being with someone else outside of my husband and I. She gave him time to adjust and catered to his need. She was awesome! Definitely bringing him back”
“Our Snoopy’s first time boarding out and we didn't know what to expect but Amy make him and us very comfortable from the beginning. Snoopy was so happy staying with Amy n She took care of him beyond my expectations. She updates us with all Snoopy’s daily activities and routines. We are so glad Rover help us to find the right person to taking care our pet while we were away. And i’ll book Amy again with no doubts! Five stars service!”
“Our mini retriever Pixi always have a great time at this place. She gets her walks multiple times a day and plays along with many of her friends. The sitter always send many pictures throughout the day of how Pixi is doing and eating her food on time. Overall very satisfied.”
“We loved Rebecca! Our dogs felt so comfortable and at home with her family. She is very nurturing and stayed extra connected with us with texts and pictures while we were away. Rebecca and her family are so sweet and you can tell its a warm environment for the animals. Her yard is nice and fenced in and secure so they cant get out. And i loved that our dogs got to play with her dogs and children. Her daughter even cried when we left with the dogs. So sweet! We will definitely have our dogs stay with her any time we go away. ”
“Julie and Justin were great. At first my wife and I weren't sure about leaving Archie with someone other than another family member, but Archie was well taken care of and we were very happy with the experience. Julie and Justin sent plenty of pictures and videos of Archie and i quickly noticed that Archie was fine and having fun. We were on vacation and it was as though Archie was on vacation too. There was plenty of room indoors and plenty of room outdoors for Archie to play. We are thankful for Julie and Justin being patient and loving to our doggy Archie. We would definitely request them again for Archie.”
“Fantastic people!! I will definitely be using Georgina again! I could feel the care that the family provided. I was afraid Bailee, my dog, wouldn't want to come back home! Lol Absolutely the best! She listened to my requests and acted on them. I consider it a Perfect Weekend for my baby”
“I've tried a couple different dog sitters on the app and Angelica was our best experience. She met with our family and dog before we committed to a long stay. She was accommodating and treated our little pup with great care. We would definitely use her services again. Highly recommended.”
About: I used to live with my siblings and their dogs for 5 years. I have taken care of my sister’s dog very often now that we no longer live together, sometimes a whole month at a time. I have experience in assisting with daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and providing companionship. Through this experience, I learned how to recognize a dog’s routine, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and respond patiently to their individual needs. I am very comfortable being around dogs and I will treat every dog as if they’re my own. I am very excited to provide a loving and reliable care for your dogs while you’re away. I currently work part time and will be home by 2:30 PM Monday to Friday, so after that I have all the time in the world to care and play with your pup. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean two-story home where dogs have plenty of room to relax and spend time with me. I will closely supervise pets while they are in my care and make sure they always have fresh water, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention. I do have a pool, but I don’t go to the back at all and the doors access to the pool are always closed. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I will do my best to follow your instructions. I will also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have the peace of mind.
“What’s a sign of an excellent Dogsitter? When you can see that your dog has bonded with the person when you go to pick up your puppers. Connie’s top priority is the safety and wellbeing of any animal in her care. I strongly recommend her.”
“Samantha was a last minute find for our last minute trip, but we were lucky to find her, she was great with our border collie, she would constantly send me pictures of him and her dog at the dog park getting along and playing with other dogs. She was attentive with his eating and walking schedule and did great at communicating with us. Definitely using her again.”
“Selena was sweet and attentive to my boys. They had some separation anxiety as expected but I knew they were in good hands. She even sent pictures to let me know how they were doing.”
“Elva is great. She took good care of my dog and is very responsive. She genuinely cares about the wellbeing of pets and I would always go back to her if I need someone who I can trust to look after my dog.”
“Boarded our 1 year old multipoo Teddy for two days. He came home clean and fluffy. I do appreciate she sent a fast update of pictures when asked. I also was running a little late for pick up and she was very understanding. Teddy came home happy and healthy and fluffy. Thank you for hosting our lil Teddy❤️”
“Titus had so much fun with this family! They took great care of my son. He was a little sad when he came home. I guess he had too much fun and didn’t want to come home! Will definitely have them babysit in the future!”
“Araceli did amazing with my two pups for a weekend stay. She provided plenty of picture updates throughout the day. She gave us a tour of her whole doggy day care house. We were beyond amazed of how big the space was and all the essentials needed that she had. Her doggy day care is cooled with A/C so we had no worries about our pups overheating in this summer heat. We will definitely be rebooking and would highly recommend Araceli for your pups!”

Madalyn was awesome and perfect for my dog Marshmello. He seemed to get comfortable with her immediately which is unlike him. As someone with an anxious pet, I’m usually stressed leaving him with someone he’s not familiar with. But Madalyn has this sweet, calming energy that both my dog and I picked up on. I’m telling you, I’ve never seen my dog care less that I picked him up lmao. He felt right at home with her. And I’m convinced he was fine making her his new mom :) Madalyn was very accommodating and answered all my questions, she kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of my pup. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet. I would definitely use her again if needed in the future. Thanks for treating my pup so well Madalyn!
Christian is a professional, caring, and loving attentive petsitter that adores animals. He looked after our pommy and cat and they were comfortable and really were taken care of. We extended their stay already one time and definitely recommend him to other furbaby parents.
This was our dog’s first stay with Eunice and Ed. Our dog was a bit nervous in the beginning, but he opened up as they persistently showed him their delight in being with him. Eunice did all that she posted, to keep our dog “entertained, secure, and happily engaged”. There were daily updates on his goings on which made us feel comforted while seeing him interact with Eunice and her family which included her dogs, Lucas and Tyler. When we picked up our dog, he came to greet us only to go right back into their house! A first! When he got home, he was relaxed, in good spirits, and sleepy. That’s how we know he had a good time! Eunice and Ed are a phenomenal team. They were attentive and loving toward our dog. We’re happy to have found them and will be looking forward to bringing our dog back to them!
Thank you Josephine for taking care of Mamba. We needed a last minute baby sitter and we were nervous leaving her with someone new. However Josephine was great, accommodating, and reassured us . She kept us updated with pictures and progress of how Mamba was doing. We look forward to booking her again!
Elvierys was so great with both of our pups! She handled both a puppy and a senior dog at the same time! We heard from her each day and received photos of the dogs! She was very caring and notified us of anything that was going on such as if the senior dog seemed nervous about the stay so we were always aware of how the boarding was going. She was very quick to respond to check ins and really cared about the dogs! Highly recommend her for any boarding needs! Thank you again!

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.
94% of sitters in Hillgrove 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 Hillgrove 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 Hillgrove.
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 Hillgrove. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Hillgrove 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.
