“Alessandra is very accommodating and sweet! I really appreciated her constant updates, which helped ease our worries while we were away from our puppy. She truly treats our dog like her own, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. We will definitely book her again! 😊”
“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. 🤍”
“Emmeline treated my Boston Max like part of there family. I met her at a park down the street from her families house. She was kind and very organized. When I dropped Max off we were greeted with a smile. Her family home is beautiful and inviting. We received daily pictures and he was well taken care of. Which gave my family great deal of peace. Thank you again!”

“Ciara and her family are just so sweet and attentive and her dog Arlo was so playful again with our puppy and let her get all her energy out:) We appreciated the photo updates and felt she was truly treated like a member of the family while we were away. Thank you.”
“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”
“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
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.
“We love her! She's adorable! I love her personality. She was so kind to take Thunder last minute when the sitter we had had canceled at the very last minute due to an emergency. I'm so grateful she turned out awesome. Very understanding of my concerns on caring for Thunder that I need to add to my profile about strays. She gave me lots of pics, which assured me that Thunder was comfortable. She included one with her cat laying with Thunder!! That was amazing!! I loved it. Her and her kids love Thunder, which I really appreciate because I want whoever watches him to love him as much as I do. She was very understanding when I had to pick up Thunder later than what I had scheduled due to me being late for my appointment. She's just awesome. I'll definitely be contacting her again.”
“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!!”
“Hands down best experience with our pup. Our kids were extremely nervous about leaving him behind on our trip, but Jose and his family took the best care of him and also sent pictures and videos to update how our dog was doing. Jose also went above and beyond by giving him a bath so our dog was fresh and looking clean as we picked him up. We’ll definitely be repeat customers and HIGHLY recommend anyone who needs there dog to be in great hands. Thanks again!!”
“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!!!”

“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!”

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 Hilmar-Irwin 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-Irwin 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-Irwin.
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 Hilmar-Irwin. On Rover:
- 87% 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 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 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.
