About: Hi there! My name is Evelyn and I am a Sitter with RoverGO. I've always been an animal lover;all animals from fish, birds , dogs, cats to snakes. I've also had a variety of pets:fish, turtles, birds, cats and dogs. As a pet sitter, my client's dogs are like my own. My first one was a Cavalier King Spaniel. Her family moved away. I miss her because I saw her grow from a puppy to an adult. I still keep in contact with them. I enjoy taking care of dogs because they give you unconditional love. My own dog, Hunter, is my best friend. When I saw him as a puppy, it was love at first sight. Now we go on tons of adventures, from hiking, beach, to our daily runs/walks. He is spoiled. I offer drop in and overnight care in your home. I understand how hard it is on dogs and humans alike when you go on vacation and I aim to provide great care. I am a reliable, honest and caring sitter. Your dog's care and comfort is my top priority and I will follow all instructions to the letter. I'm a true dog person because I see them not as pets but as family. I wish I could take care of all the animals. I am a positive, caring, reliable, attentive and honest human being and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. I’m currently working from home full time with Rover. It is my daily routine. I can attend to their needs for however long they are here. My home is a single story home. It has a big gate and brick backyard. The house is secure. My house has cameras all around to monitor 24-7.
“David did an absolutely fantastic job watching our Golden Retriever, Bailey! From start to finish, he was incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. We received tons of great pictures and videos, so we never had to wonder how Bailey was doing. It was so clear that Bailey was getting plenty of love, attention, and—most importantly—plenty of belly rubs! David genuinely cared for our pup like his own. We will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I've cared for my family and friends' pets while they were away, including overnight stays. I'm also skilled at managing special dietary needs for pets. I am ready to work and can start onboarding any day of the week, from Monday to Sunday. My spacious yard allows me to care for multiple pets simultaneously. I have a big house with a large gated fence, and my roommate has a friendly dog that can either relax outside or indoors with your pet .
“I'm Very happy and satisfied with the care Rozi provided for me and my dog, Honey. He communicates throughly, payiny attention to details and very punctual. I would highly recommend Rozi to anyone needing a sitter.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life — for as long as I can remember, there has always been a dog by my side. Over the past 20+ years I have developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and what it takes to make a pup feel safe and loved in a new environment. Beyond my own dogs, I have informally cared for the pets of friends and family many times, so I know how to handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Right now I share my home with my own 5-year-old male goldendoodle, so your dog will always have a friendly, socialized companion to play with. What truly sets me apart is my availability and home setup. I do not work outside the home, which means I am here with the dogs all day — no long hours alone, no anxious waiting. We have a large backyard where dogs can run, explore, and burn off energy freely. I also have a 2-year-old son at home, so I only welcome dogs that are comfortable around young children, and I take that responsibility seriously for everyone's safety. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family and is genuinely home all day to give them attention, walks, and playtime — you found the right place. I don't work outside the home, I'm here around the clock, seven days a week. Morning walks, midday playtime in the big backyard, afternoon couch cuddles — I'm always present. My goldendoodle keeps us on a consistent daily routine, which visiting dogs love. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. We have a large fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play freely without any worry. Inside, my goldendoodle sets a calm, friendly tone that helps visiting dogs feel at ease quickly. I supervise all dog interactions closely, especially since I have a 2-year-old at home — safety for both the kids and the dogs is always my top priority. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I make sure every pup has their own space to relax and decompress when they need it. I always ask owners upfront about their dog's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any quirks so I can keep things as consistent as possible. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own to be treated — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of love.
“I’ve had a fantastic experience with Kimberly as my dog sitter! Pick-up and drop-off have been seamless, and I really appreciate the daily photo updates which keep me connected to my pup throughout the day. Kimberly is also incredibly responsive and patient, always available to answer any questions I have as a new puppy parent. Her helpfulness and reliability have made this experience very positive. Highly recommend for any pet owner who wants peace of mind while they’re away!”
“I can tell that he really loves dogs. The first day that mu dog stayed with him, he didn't want to leave and that let me know that he was happy and felt safe to be there. Daily I received a report on the things my dog was doing and pictures. I most definitely will be sending my dog back to stay a few days out of the week while I work.”
“**Review for Shaelynn on Rover.com** We’ve had the pleasure of having Shaelynn as our dog sitter several times, and she continues to exceed our expectations every single time! From the moment we drop off our fur baby, it’s clear that he’s in great hands. He always seems so happy and content when we arrive to pick him up, and the pictures and videos Shaelynn sends throughout the day truly show just how much fun he’s having. Shaelynn is fantastic at keeping us updated with regular communication, ensuring we know exactly how our pup is doing. Her thoughtful updates, including pictures and videos, give us peace of mind while we’re away. We are so grateful for her care and dedication, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend Shaelynn to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: My family has had dogs my whole life and I can’t imagine a world without them! Large or small… I love them all! I live an active lifestyle and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals and now I would love to care for yours! I'm a self-proclaimed pet sitting specialist! I recently just graduated from the University of Oregon, I was a student-athlete and majored in Human Physiology! I’m available for drop-ins, walks/runs/hikes and dog sitting. I am honest, responsible and have reliable transportation. While in my care, your fur baby will be treated like a loved family member and you will receive updates with pictures and texts. I live on 1/2 acre and have a large fenced-in yard with a friendly large breed dog to help keep your fur baby company and to play with. I can take your pup for walks/runs/hikes or even a Starbucks run for a yummy PupCup!
“River went to daycare with Jeremy for 3 days. She was very happy to be back with him each morning and came home in the evenings happy and tired from plenty of play. We got plenty of updates and photos and were very happy with the care River received. We will definitely be using Jeremy's daycare in the future.”
“Christine was amazing. This was my first time living my Shadow with a sitter. The moment I dropped him off I knew he felt comfortable with her. Christine's communication was excellent, and she made sure to give me details and let me know how Shadow was doing. I would not hesitate to leave Shadow or recommend anyone to Christine.”
About: My pet care journey began in 2004 with my first dog, Jedi - a highly trained and obedient Black Labrador, who taught me the foundations of advanced canine behavior, structure, and positive reinforcement. Although Jedi is no longer here, his legacy lives on in the deep, genuine love and structured care I now offer to my own dogs and every pet in my custody. Drawing from these 22 years of hands-on experience, I seamlessly maintain the exact daily routines, timing and obedience commands your dog is already used to while actively fostering calm, polite behaviors, structured care and deep genuine love for your pet. You can ensure your furry friend receives true, heartfelt affection that will bring you complete peace of mind that they are in safe capable hands. You can count on total reliability with zero last-minute cancellations, and I provide a safe, calm environment right in my own home. I also send real-time updates with photos and text messages during every visit. Your pet's safety is always my priority, which is why I am currently planning my upcoming enrollment in a professional pet CPR and first aid certifications course for an extra layer of protection. Caring for animals is the main focus of my daily and weekly routine. I have three dogs of my own, and I treat them as if they were my children. I do not work outside the home, so my schedule is mostly open on the weekdays. Because my routine already revolves around giving my pets constant love, attention, and care, your dogs will easily fit into our daily rhythm. They will receive constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and a safe comforting environment.
“Great first time experience. Anthony made sure my cattle dog felt comfortable and had plenty of exercise during her stay. My dog seemed happy at pickup, we will definitely be booking again.”
“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”
“Julie was so welcoming and really took the time to get to know Groot and his likes/dislikes. Groot is usually an anxious boy and I can tell he really enjoyed his time with Julie. Her house/yard is perfect for him to run and play as well! I will definitely be bringing him back here in the future.”

David was absolutely amazing with our crazy girl! It’s difficult to find someone who is willing to deal with her special brand of crazy but he had no problem. We will happily have him take care of her again. It’s nice to have finally found someone local that we can trust to leave her with.

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 Home Gardens 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 3,721 sitters in Home Gardens, 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.
