“My 4 year old Nala boarded overnight with Lauren at her place. Lauren was so sweet with Nala and made sure to make her feel at home. My dog has separation anxiety but Lauren made her feel comfortable. I received comforting photo updates frequently and that made me feel less anxious too. Definitely recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs :)”
“So many things to like. I liked that Amy communicated how my dog spent her day. Happy that she didn’t just say it was fine. Good or bad - I want to know. Amy was very patient and understanding to my dog’s needs. I’ve already booked another day!”
“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!”

“Morgan was SO much more than expected! She absolutely goes “The extra mile “ to ensure a safe, happy, fun-filled stay for the pups. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for that special someone to care for your pup when you need them. Morgan absolutely exceeded my greatest expectations! I hope I’m able to book with her again soon. My pup came home perfectly content. She almost didn’t even want to come home!! Thank you so very much Morgan 💗💗💗”

“Emmeline was so great! She updated me often with pictures of Charlie and was also flexible when I needed to make changes to my reservation. My dog is a pretty anxious pup especially when I’m not around, but I think she did well thanks to Emmeline. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“Allison took such good care of my JoJo! This was my first time leaving my dog with an actual sitter rather than a friend or family member, so I was a bit hesitant at first. Allison eased all of my worries, kept me posted on how JoJo was doing, and overall was very satisfied! Will 100% be booking again!”
“I always feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with Raeana. She does a great job taking care of my pets. I highly recommend her and always will go back to her when I need her services.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ciara and her family! ❤️ They took such great care of our four-legged son, Bailey, while we were away. Knowing he was being loved and cared for made it so much easier for us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Ciara kept us updated every day on how Bailey was doing, and we absolutely loved receiving the pictures! It gave us so much peace of mind seeing his happy little face while we were away. 🐶❤️ Thank you, Ciara and family, for loving Bailey like he was your own. We are so grateful for the care, love, and attention you gave him. We highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and loving dog sitter. Bailey definitely enjoyed his stay—and we think he may have been a little spoiled! 😊”
“Kristin and Javier took such amazing care of our pup Peter Barker. He absolutely loved Watson and every minute of his time on his vacation. They were great to send us lots of updates and adorable photos. We truly were scared to leave Peter but knew he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them for any sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“Stacy was a great communicator! And has a great memory! Remembered lots of little details about my dog and his behavior. She sent lots of photos and would let me know every time she was giving meds. It most likely is because of year that I brought my pup to her, but he did come home with a couple foxtails and fleas. So just make sure your dog is up to date on his flea meds. I was behind on giving my dog his meds before arriving so it was my fault he caught them. If you have a dog prone to foxtails it might not be the best option for you (at least during the spring). But if you have a short hair (lab) like me it still worked out well. Overall, Stacy is a very sweet person who truly loves animals. Both me and my boyfriend commented on how nice she is. She truly cared for my baby and wanted to please both me and him. 🤍”

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.
95% of sitters in Hilmar 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 Hilmar 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 Hilmar.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hilmar 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.
