“Mel is an excellent dog sitter! We booked our first day care before my dog, Lucifur, was diagnosed with some limiting orthopedic issues that will soon require surgery. That means he now has to have his movement someone restricted to protect him from injury. When I gave Mel this update and asked if he would still be able to care for Lucifur, he was enthusiastic to watch him. In fact, when I arrived on the first day, Mel had thoughtfully set up a secure area for Lucifur to relax in AND had a plan to keep our dogs separated so Lucifur wouldn't get over excited and run/jump around. Mel was really thoughtful in ensuring that Lucifur had an environment that was safe and he put me at ease. Lucifur enjoys hanging out with Mel and Roxy and I feel confident that he's in great hands. Mel will be out #1 Rover choice from now on!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a dog - loving family, caring for breeds of all sizes - from Labrador Retriever and Beagle to my current Labradoodle. Through the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior and how to care for each pup based on their unique personality and needs. I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and easy to reach - I prioritize clear communication and am available 24/7 for updates or questions. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for your dog, just like home. I’d love to learn more about your pup and how I can give them the best possible experience. Please feel free to share any details, preferences, or routines!
“I want to Thank Elvierys and Yuraima , for the great job they did with my 1 yr. old Dalmatian . This was her first time at a sitter and wasn’t sure how she would do , she can be a bit of a handful at times , was told she was a bit anxious at first but she quickly settled down. Thanks again for the great job you’ve done with her Carla”
“Thanks again Valerie! Abby had a great stay and we felt safe and sound. What a fun bonus that she got to socialize with your pups and cat (favorite?). Thanks and hope to stay with you again! -R”
“Paul watched my dog Hazel all day. He sent me update photos of Hazel and even gave her some treats! Paul was very a nice man, I will come back to Paul so he can watch Hazel again!”
“Sona really enjoyed her stay with Sarah. I received a video and pictures during her stay. She was very comfortable and loved playing with Sarah’s dog. Overall it was a very positive experience both for me and Sona. I would definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I unfortunately do not have much experience with dogs but I am happy and willing to learn! I started working as a dog walker in another app 3 years ago so I know a little of what to expect and what things to bring with me just in case. As I mentioned, im fairly new to taking care of doggos but on the bright side, one of the things of being a college student is that im almost always home, thus, I will always be with the pet in case they need anything and I can for sure be with them all day 🥰 ( Currently I am volunteering at a hospital since I am on summer break from classes so I will be out of my house from 9-1:30pm but before and after that I am mainly home to take care of doggies. I want all owners to beware of this in my schedule in case they dont like their doggies being left alone for 4 hours or so. ( I will not be away from home more than that) Thank you for your patience and for your trust in me when taking care of your babies ❤️🥰 Im currently a full-time college student, thus, my schedule changes very often. Currently I am on summer break until late september so I am most free to take care of dogs but I did get into volunteering at a hospital monday thru friday so just beware that I will be gone from 9-1:30pm . I unfortunately do not have a fenced yard since I live in a small apartment but on the good side, It is only 3 of us who live in these apartments. So, there are no other pets in here and if I were to bring a pet, they would be comfortable since they would not be bothered by other pets! Also, I live very near a park so it would be easy to at least walk a bit and have the doggo do their business there 🥰
“Highly recommend Fatima! She is awesome! My pup is sick and had to give her different kinds of medications few specific times. Fatima not only maintained those properly but also gave me updates on time. Fatima also took Kulfi to park to play and I can tell she loved Fatima. Will definitely book her again whenever I’ll need.”

It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3.

Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.

“Don't hesitate to leave your furry babies with Arti! She is very kind, responds quickly to any questions, and takes great care of the dogs, making them feel comfortable and at home. Ours were so happy—they played, got tired, and socialized more than we ever thought possible. Excellent service, we loved it!”
“This was our first time leaving our maltipoo with someone she was not familiar with and with all honesty Magda was the best choice! She was very kind and understanding that our puppy has not yet gotten used to being away from us and has some separation anxiety. She reassured us about her well being by sending us an update as well as pictures which was definitely a plus, we will definitely be bringing our pup back in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillgrove
Mel was absolutely wonderful to work with! We were traveling from out of town for travel sports and when the weather report changed last minute it was no longer safe to keep our dog with us during the day. That’s when we found Mel and I am so grateful we did. Our dog has separation anxiety but minutes after we left we got pictures of him completely settled in. By the second day he was running from the car to the front door excited to spend the day with his new friends! Mel was communicative and sent frequent updates which put my anxious mind completely at ease. I highly recommend working with him. He is by far the best sitter we’ve used. I only wish we lived closer. However, we look forward to coming back when we attend this event again next year.
Amy and her husband were amazing with our fur babies! Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in their care. Communication was great—they kept me updated every few hours with photos. We’re so grateful we found them and will definitely be booking again. 🐾💖
Sorry for the delay in this review. I recently took my 16 year old Maltese for day camp, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we arrived, Carol and her husband was welcoming and attentive. It was clear they genuinely care about the dogs. The area were clean and well-organized, providing a safe space for all the pups. My dog was a bit hesitant at first, but they were patient and made him feel right at home. I was especially impressed that, even after a full day at a place my dog is not familiar with, he came home relaxed and showed no signs of anxiety(this is what we need) Overall, my experience was nothing short of excellent! I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and enjoyable environment for their furry friends. Thank you for providing such a fantastic day camp experience! We'll return shortly on additional boarding requests
Elveirys and Yuraima did a great job in taking care of Lucy; ensuring I was updated every few hours to ensure she was doing and behaving well. Additionally, they are very professional and understanding caregivers who know how to deal with higher energy dogs, having a big yard to ensure my dog got the exercise she needed.
Katya was amazing! My puppy, Willow, is a very energetic girl and is new to everything but Katya was so patient and loving towards her. Willow was exhausted by the time I picked her up (which is great news) and she looked so happy in the photos Katya took of her! Willow also gets scared around other dogs but I’m glad she had a good play time with Katya’s dogs :) Highly recommend Katya to everyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hillgrove commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 9,003 sitters in Hillgrove, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
