“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. 🤍”

“Morgan always does amazing with my malinois puppy! Bella is a ball of energy, but always makes taking care of her look easy! She’s literally the puppy whisperer 🤭 Thanks for everything always 🩷”

“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!”


“I had a very good experience with Amy as a pet sitter. She was very friendly, easy to talk with, and very accommodating. She kept me updated and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my fur baby was doing well. This was my first time leaving my Yorkshire Terrier with a pet sitter he was not familiar with. Since Yorkies can be naturally cautious and nervous, I was a little nervous about how he would do. Amy was patient with him and took such good care of him. I felt comfortable and was able to trust her with my fur baby. I’m hoping that with time he will become more accustomed to her, and I will definitely leave him with Amy again. I highly recommend Amy and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!”

“Stephanie was an amazing temporary Mom for Romeo. I was tasked with finding someone to watch my dad’s companion from 350 miles away, while he was in a hospital. I was nervous to say the least. But from our first communication to when Romeo was picked up, Stephanie exuded an amount of care and kindness that let me know Romeo was in the right hands. I actually think it was a treat for Romeo to get the attention and love that he did from Stephanie. Would definitely encourage anyone to use her services.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, and giving your pet lots of love and attention while you’re away I’m currently home full-time with a very flexible schedule while my education is on pause. I’m looking to make some extra money doing something I love, and I’d be happy to spend that time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have a large, fully fenced backyard for dogs to play safely. Inside, I have a clean, comfortable space for cats, puppies, and senior dogs to relax. I’ll make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I've taken care of dogs, since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. In my family we have all ways had 2 small dogs, and now I have my current dog of 5 years, love him so much like my baby, sleeps and cuddles with me all the time. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to play/walk with your pups! I'm available for dog walking, while my son is in school and in the afternoon. Open availability on the weekends. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.

“Great communication Amazing care for my 4 month old Very professional and experienced She was entirely accommodating to my dogs needs and sent me updates on his behavior and well-being which was highly appreciated.”
“Gianna cares deeply about animals. She went above and beyond to care for my dog while also respecting my boundaries and desires as an owner. She was great with communication and her home was a happy place for my dog to stay for a 2 week long boarding. Such a sweet family and any pet would be lucky to experience their love!!!”

“Taylor took excellent care of my boy and was good about sending pictures and updates. She even went out of her way to make him some eggs (a favorite treat of his) when he was being picky with his dog food and not eating much of it. Ricky was well taken care of and I highly recommend Taylor and would use her again.”


“Natalie and the rest of her family apparently took exceptional care of our Sasha!. She also sent us pictures of Sasha!, integrated with her family, everyday. She came back with energy and very clean. Sometimes our Sasha! comes home from other kenneling locations unkempt, moist, smelling of urine, and seemingly spooked from the experience. No thank you. We will use Natalie again for kenneling our Sasha!”


“A last minute Disneyland trip happened where Ernie couldn’t tag along. This was my first time using a sitter and I couldn’t be happier that I found Sandra. I was very nervous leaving him for 3 nights but I was fortunate enough to meet some of the family and we felt so welcomed, I instantly felt comfortable. Ernie took right to her son and didn’t even care that I left. She took the initiative to update me and send me pics and Ernie looked so happy. I had such a great experience I would highly recommend. Should I have the need to use a sitter, now I have piece of mind. ?”

“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!!!”

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.

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 Hilmar-Irwin home-away-from-home, 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-Irwin.
<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-Irwin 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 , 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 .
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.
