“Irina was great with my dog! She always checked in with us to show me how my potpot was doing. Would send videos and photos of them playing to make sure my dog is having a great time. If I were to ever get a dog sitter again it would be Irina!”
“Zariyah was great. Our little guys can be a handful at times and she went above and beyond to make them comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again. 5 star sitter for sure!”
“We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Tammy was very easy to talk to, promptly responds and just overall helpful as to this was our first time leaving our 1 year old dog with someone else. She did a meet and greet prior to our trip. She did daily check ins and sent photos of our doggy. We’d definitely use her again in the future!”
“Reginay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Kobe and sent photos and videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Kobe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would definitely book with her again!”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Denise was wonderful with my puppy. It was his first time being with a sitter for several days. She took care of him like he was one of her own. I had just the right amount of updates for him each day. I will definitely use her when I need a sitter again. She is great!!”
“Anais was great and communicated well. She took care of Brownie and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Will recommend her to everyone and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Our senior pup had a wonderful stay with Yifang + Wing. We had great communication about our pup's needs and really appreciated their good care of him. Yifang went above + beyond helping with rex's dietary needs and also separation anxiety. We are so appreciative to have found sitters who are such animal lovers, highly recommend ☀️🧡”
“Achara was great and eased my mind about leaving my puppy for the first time. Responded very quickly every time! Send pictured and updated throughout his stay. My guy is very high energy and after I picked him up he slept for hours! He definitely enjoyed having his own backyard to tire himself out. Definitely recommend Achara for all your pet needs!”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”
“Excellent communication and Naiomie showed my pooch genuine care and love. My girl (Val) was able to play, have fun and received the attention and ability to roam that she needs. All guidance given for Val was followed and then some. Naiomie goes above and beyond in a way that only a true lover of pooches would. I'm extremely grateful and look forward to utilizing her services again and strongly encourage others to do so as well”
“Rekha and her husband were amazing with my Tyson. Tyson had an extended stay with Rekha. She sent me regular updates and pics of Tyson throughout his stay. Will definitely book again !”
“I can't say enough good things about Minhhan who took care of our dog Zoey. Our little Shih Tzu can be difficult at times. She barks at anyone that comes near us. Minhhan met me at the park about a week before the sitting date and spent about a half of an hour getting to know Zoey. She walked her around the park. On the day Minhhan watched Zoey, she took some pictures. From what I saw, it did'nt look like our dog wanted to come home. I would recommend this sitter to anyone who needs their dog look after. John M. Sacramento”
“This was my first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and Qiana was amazing. She gave us daily updates of the pups and made sure to have playtime with them as well. Would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Rocky is a special-needs dog - anxiety, sundowners, allergies, IBD, .... It takes a special person to board and care for Rocky, and that person is Florene. She has a heart for dogs, but she also has knowledge and experience - and knows how to command respect from them. I never want to take Rocky anywhere else. Even though it is an hour's drive for us one way, the peace of mind is worth it. And besides, we really like Florene and her husband Pat.”
“Carrie is the best! She always treats my pup like her own and makes him feel right at home. I appreciate her daily comments and photos. She is my #1 go to when I need a Rover sitter.”
“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”

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 Hood 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 Hood.
<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 Hood 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.
