“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”
“I was very happy with my experience with Erica. Every time she sent me photos I could really tell my dogs were loving their time there. I will absolutely board with her again.”
“Berenice is incredible kind and has a genuine care and love for dogs! We booked an 5 day stay for our 14yo cocker. Berenice sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing which was comforting as we don’t typically leave our dog, especially now in his old age. Would rebook anytime and highly recommend.”
“Gwendolyn was AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone that wasn't familiar with them. I won't hesitate to leave them with Gwendolyn again! The daily updates were awesome! Wendy and Red seemed to feel like family and extremely comfortable. No issues with the transition home. Highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family.”
“This is our first dog and our first experience with Rover on our cross country business and family fun trip and WOW! Thanks to Whitney we are hooked! Whitney was prompt, professional & kind to our fur baby! We were nervous.. and the text pictures and open communication relieved our anxiety VERY Quickly! Thank you Whitney for allowing our San Diego trip to be amazing! 5 stars hands down! We HIGHLY recommend Whitney! KsquareD Health Coaching & Cremini”
“I would book Damariz again for Lola. She sent updates during her stay and communicated very well for drop off and pick up. Damariz also has her own pups and Lola got along with Bella. Overall a good experience.”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Trent and Rayssa were absolutely wonderful in taking superb care for our boxer Frieda. They were very quick with responding and keeping me updated about anything leading up to and during our boarding. Frieda was definitely played with and loved on and I would recommend anyone wanting a homey vibe for their pups to pick them.”
“Our Lola is well taken care of at Josiane’s house. Lola likes her two dogs and the large enclosed yard to run around. We appreciate Josiane when we need a dog sitter.”
“Mark was amazing with my dog, Ollie, for the long weekend he had him. He sent photos of him cuddling on the couch and laying out in the sun, my dog’s two favorite things to do so I knew he was in good hands. When I picked up Ollie up he was happy and healthy. Mark was also very responsive, communicative and understanding throughout Ollies stay. Really couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“Savannah was fantastic! We were looking for a sitter where our pup could have his own space and Savannah went above and beyond with him. We loved getting the daily updates and pictures and our boy came back very happy from his time at Savannah’s. We will definitely be using her as a sitter in the future!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“We were so happy to leave our dogs with Kyle and his wife. So accommodating and patient. They sent a lot of pictures, videos and updates. Our dogs weren’t only taken cared of but appreciated and loved. We look forward to entrusting our dogs with them again in the near future.”

Rhonda took great care of Jade! She was very attentive to all the small details about caring for my senior dog with really bad arthritis. She seemed to make Jade feel right at home and provided all the patience and love that she needed. I will definitely be booking Rhonda again in the future!
We left Mr. Toby with him for a whole week, and I could tell he was very well taken care of. He kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, and communication was always great. It was clear that he genuinely cared for Toby and made sure he was comfortable and happy. We really appreciate the wonderful care he gave him and would definitely trust him with Toby again! 🐶❤️
Carol is the absolute best! She went above and beyond to take amazing care of Peanut. She was incredibly communicative, took him on multiple walks, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. She has a wonderful setup at home and provides a warm, loving environment for pets. We felt completely at ease knowing Peanut was in such great hands. Highly recommend Carol, and we would absolutely love to use her services again in the future!
Trent and Rayssa were absolutely wonderful in taking superb care for our boxer Frieda. They were very quick with responding and keeping me updated about anything leading up to and during our boarding. Frieda was definitely played with and loved on and I would recommend anyone wanting a homey vibe for their pups to pick them.
Autumn and her family did such an amazing job in taking care of our two fur babies. Our doggies instantly clicked with her and her family, and kept a great communication line through sending daily photos and updates. Highly recommend Autumn and her dog-sitting services, and will return to them if we plan for another human vacation. Thank you to Autumn and her family for going above and beyond, we are extremely grateful!
This was our first time bringing our dog Benny to Madison and it was a fantastic experience. We appreciated the meet and greet prior since Benny can be a little much in the personality department, they answered all our questions and left us feeling nothing but sure it was the right fit for us. Benny spent his first weekend there and he did great, we received pictures and updates letting us know he was having a great time. Appreciate the knowledge and experience both Madison and Moses bring to taking care of our babies! Highly recommended and we will be sure to bring Benny back again and again!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with my baby. He can be nervous in a new place and definitely needed some time to warm up. He was even a little nippy with her kids at first, and she was incredibly patient and understanding about it. She gave him time to get comfortable and before long he was cuddling with her, hanging out with the family, and making himself completely at home. She sent me so many pictures and updates while I was gone, which I loved. I could actually see how much more comfortable he was getting as the days went on. She took him on walks, gave him lots of attention, and really seemed to care about him rather than just having another dog staying at her house. I also didn’t leave quite enough food for the whole trip and she went out and got more for him, which I really appreciated. I was out of the country for two weeks and I’m pretty particular about who I trust with my baby. I never felt like I needed to worry about him with Jennifer. She really went above and beyond and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog. I would 100% use her again.
Over the years Gwen has taken care of our little guy, Jake. She's been like a second mother to him making him feel home with her family and loved. While we're away from home, she is the person we trust with our dog. We believe you would be equally satisfied should you choose her to host your loving pet with her. .

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 Homelands 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 Homelands.
<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 Homelands 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.
