“Danielle is one of those rare people who immediately puts both dogs and their humans at ease. She took exceptional care of my rescue French Bulldog, Giani, who struggles with separation anxiety and can require a bit of extra patience and understanding. Danielle went above and beyond, even adjusting her schedule to accommodate his needs. Her calm demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, were evident from the start. Throughout Giani’s stay, I felt completely reassured that he was in caring and capable hands. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly outstanding dog sitter.”
About: I have experience with my 2 dogs and our friend dogs for about 8 years now. We used to take them to walk , hike and beach whenever we could. All my family love dogs and take cares of our furry friends like our owns. I am housemaker with cute 2 boys who are high school and college. And 3rd son Bruno who is always with me at home. I love dogs and always wanted to be with them to play and teach. I have a House with big back and front yard fully fenced. Also on the walk we always keep dogs on leash whenever we go.
About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.
“We are so grateful that our dog Mina got to stay with such a kind family. Bradley and Carolyn were incredibly attentive and caring, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They sent daily updates along with the cutest photos, which we really appreciated. If Mina could talk, I’m sure she would give them a 5 out of 5 rating. She loved playing with the other dogs and got plenty of walks and attention. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with them again.”
About: I have trained two large breed puppies as well as cared for and walked dogs of all sizes. I absolutely love getting outside with all dogs! My schedule is very open, I am currently in nursing school and have a long day on Monday, but aside from that I am around the house frequently and am available. I am very caring for everyone’s pup and will follow all instructions and exceed those as well. I love to get outside and go for walks, hikes, or even just throw the ball!
“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”
About: I provide patient, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, calm, and focused on keeping pets comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability and can plan my day around feedings, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety and comfort by following the pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and stress-free, whether in my home or the client’s home. I supervise pets closely, keep doors and gates secure, and communicate with owners to ensure their pet feels safe and well cared for.
“Courtney was fantastic! She took amazing care of our little Maltipoo and kept us updated with photos and texts throughout our trip, which really put our minds at ease and let us fully enjoy our time away. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Tory took such good care of our boy, giving him walks and lots of loves. She was SO flexible with us as our plans were up in the air and sent tons of pics that made us feel very at peace leaving our senior dog behind. Thank you!!!”
“Jorrit and his family took great care of our dog Cosmo! It's clear he got a love of love from the whole family and we got a lot of comfort from the daily updates. We will definitely reach out to them again for future dogsitting needs.”
About: I'm a 26 year old working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have experience taking care of and training younger dogs and have a young dog myself. I love all kinds of dogs and will take care of your pets like I would my own. I'm working part time so I have varying schedules week to week with lots of time to take care of your pet! I'm always available all day Friday and Saturday morning. I frequently take long walks so your dog will have consistent exercise and frequent potty breaks. I have a private fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that loves playing with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog at night depending on what you prefer.

“Lauren was so loving and attentive to my pup! She sent regular updates with photos and videos. He seemed so happy when I picked him up! I would book her again!”
“We couldn't have gotten a better person to watch my baby! Especially because I was so worried about leaving her anywhere. But Nicole was absolutely amazing. She sent pictures and updates and snuggled my girl when mommy couldn't. Birdie had the absolute best time and will definitely miss her new friends she made. We will definitely book Nicole again. Can't wait to come back soon. THANK YOU NICOLE for everything. We greatly appreciate it. Birdie can't wait to come visit again. Hopefully soon.”
About: I’ve always had such a huge love for animals and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities! I have experience with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight pet sitting. One of the hardest parts about moving away for college has been leaving my dog back home. I miss being around my own dog so much, so spending time with other dogs genuinely makes me so happy! I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also super big on communication and love sending cute pictures and updates throughout the day so owners can feel reassured that their pets are in great hands! 🐾💕 As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine! I’m great at managing my time and balancing school, work, and other responsibilities. I love staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, so pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle! I have availability throughout the week and on weekends depending on my class and work schedule. I’m always happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs and make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention! As a college student living with roommates, I prefer to care for pets in their own homes rather than mine because I want to make sure every pet has the safest, most comfortable, and stress-free experience possible! I believe pets feel happiest in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their favorite toys, beds, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions their owners provide. I’m extremely responsible, respectful of others’ homes, and always prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being

I’m knowledgeable about dog behavior and nutrition, comfortable maintaining household routines, and happy to provide regular updates so you always feel connected to your pet’s day. I’m also glad to share helpful insights about nutrition, training, and behavior to support your pet’s overall well-being. Your pets will be treated like my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I am flexible and prepared to work around your (and your pets) schedule. Whether you need an early bird or a night owl, you can count on me! I take my dog for long, off-leash walks every day. We love to go to the Douglas Preserve and Hendry's Beach. When going for a quick potty, we like to visit Shoreline Park or walk along the path next to East Beach. I have an SUV and equipment to keep pups buckled up in the back seat, safety first!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hope Ranch
Candice did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She followed all of my instructions carefully and sent me updates with pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind (and made me miss him even more). I could tell he was in great hands. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her!
Kylie was so sweet with my golden retriever Otis. She was a clear communicator and kept me updated throughout. It was particularly hot while Otis was with her, so she was sure to take him out for exercise during the cool hours. I felt very confident with Kylie and would be happy to have her watch Otis again.
Jeanine is awesome! Great communication getting the dog sitting set-up. As soon as I arrived at Jeanine's home, I was immediately put at ease. She is warm and kind and our dog Lola happily went into the house with her. Jeanine sent me an update and photo later that evening and again in the morning. Lola looked relaxed and happy in Jeanine's care. Highly recommend!
I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with Stephanie right away her little dog got along with my dog perfect and he didn't even look back when I left so I know that he was in a good spot and I picked him up and he was having a great time he was tuckered out that night I will definitely visit Stephanie again
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Lauren! Our 8 year-old Golden was so clearly well cared for and happy during her stay with their younger Phoebe. Lauren was responsive, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It’s obvious she truly loves dogs and treats them like their own. We look forward to using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.

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.
98% of sitters in Hope Ranch 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 Hope Ranch 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 Hope Ranch.
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 Hope Ranch. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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 Hope Ranch 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.
