“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.”
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.
“Kimberley took care of my dog so well, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, she updated me the whole time, with pictures and videos. Also without me even having to ask. My dog loved her and her home and her dogs. They got to play together and have so much fun, would definitely book again with her :)”
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.

“Thank you Mia for caring for Nixon! Mia was always prompt with her responses. She gave photo updates frequently and let us know that Nixon was doing well! Mia ensured that Nixon was comforted when he heard fireworks as he does not like them. We appreciate Mia and her fiancé for taking such good care of Nixon! We highly recommend her!”
“Jerry was wonderful with taking care of Otto! Picking him up at the end of the day, he looked like he had every need met throughout the day with being taken care of. Definitely would recommend Jerry in taking care of your pet!”
“Emily and her family took amazing care of our sweet Lyla while we were in town for a family wedding. They took care of her like she was family. They watched Lyla for two separate days and on the second day Lyla practically jumped in Emily’s arms with excitement. trustworthy, flexible and good communication. Thank you Emily!”
“Jeremy has been one of the best rovers ever booked in my life. He has went above and beyond for boarding. Usually with sitters overnight they do the bare minimum but for Jeremy who had Bailey for day sitting went above and beyond. This dude and his wife took care of our pup like of he was his own. He was amazing to him and sent updates every other hours. He was a great person and I feel selfish on sharing him but props to him and the way he cared for Bailey. Appreciate everything he did for our pup child.”
“Maiya helped me out in a last minute pinch. She was very kind and responsive and even did a meet and greet just a few hours after I booked. My dog was so excited going back to her the next morning as if she had known Maiya a long time.”
“Our Goldens had a fantastic time. So thankful to find reliable, dog lovers who are local and make us feel so comfortable. We went sent pictures throughout the day that allowed us to enjoy our time out and know they were having the best time. We will be back! Thank you!”
“We booked Chelly for a few hours to watch our 3 month old puppy, Peanut. We loved that Peanut was well taken care of while having lots of playtime with Chelly’s puppy. We can tell Peanut had a blast because he went straight to his bed as soon as we got home. Lol. Will definitely book with Chelly again.”
“Duya is amazing! I am so thankful to Duya for taking such good care of Winston. I am very anxious with leaving Winston and Duya took such great care of him. She sent me many updates with photos and videos and Winston was so happy in all of them. Winston was so sad to leave Duya which shows how much care she put into watching him. We are so happy to have found Duya and Winston can’t wait to see her again!”

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 3,706 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.
