“Sabrina did a great job caring for our two dogs! She was communicative, paid attention to all the little details with caring for them and sent several photos and videos throughout the stay which put our minds at ease. Her little pack of dogs also made friends with ours and made them feel comfortable as well. Would definitely board them again at her home.”
“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”

“Carrie was the absolute perfect boarding sitter for my two dogs! She kept me updated with photos and shared all the fun activities my fur babies were up to.

About: Hi there! I have 3 years of professional experience working at a doggy daycare and hound rescue, along with 6 years of fostering for multiple local shelters and rescues. From playful pups to shy dogs who need a little extra patience, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently work from home, which means I have plenty of flexibility for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles! I also have two small, friendly, and social dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also a mom to a sweet 3-year-old daughter who loves animals and is learning to respect their space and boundaries. I always prioritize everyone’s safety and comfort, and I understand the importance of giving pets a calm, positive environment. Whether your pet needs a fun walking buddy, a cozy place to relax, or extra love while you’re away for the holidays, I’d be happy to help! I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday-Thursday and have Friday-Sunday off. I live an active lifestyle and love taking my dogs for hikes. My roommate has two kids that she has 50% of the time. I will confirm with you whether or not they will be around during your pets stay. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of grass and a nice cement patio perfect for sun bathing. There are a ton of dog beds throughout the house for nap time. Your pet is welcome to sleep in bed with me during bed time.
“Alexis and her family took great care of my two pups! They both had so much fun playing with the other dogs and kids. We will book again in the future, thanks Alexis!”
“Sharon and Henry took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs get pretty depressed when we leave them. Sharon and Henry did everything they could to help our dogs feel comfortable and they communicated with us eveny day while we were away. We really appreciated the daily check ins and pictures. We will definitely book Sharon and Henry again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”
“My husband and I had a destination wedding & 2 week honeymoon right after and Briana watched our fur baby for 20 days! Olive loved being there for an extended stay and was so well taken care of! I would recommend Briana over and over again! Best dog sitter in Elk Grove! She is quick to respond and loves the pups like her own!!”
“Angela has been amazing taking care of our Bear! She shows that she's truly passionate about how she cares for her. We love the videos and pics she sends us. Brings peace into our hearts and minds. Thank you for everything!”
“Nancy is a fantastic sitter! She is so attentive and took such great care of Frankie. It was our first time using her services and she made sure that not only I, but my dog, felt comfortable before the stay and during the entirety of it. She’s on top of her communication and I loved seeing how well cared for Frankie was while we were gone. Will definitely work with her again in the future. Thank you, Nancy!”
“Casey stayed with Abraham and his family for 1 week. He did great and Abraham sent photos each day. Casey is very comfortable at Abraham's and I would not hesitate to board him again for a longer period of time.”
“Highly recommend Coryn! She took amazing care of our dog, was super flexible with our timing, and sent great photo updates throughout the stay. Bruno had a great time and was completely comfortable in her home. Thank you!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“We couldn't be any happier with the care that Naiomie gave to our very spoiled fur baby, Colby Jaxx. This was the first time we've left him with someone other than family members. We were a hesitant about leaving him with someone we... or he... didn't know but after meeting Naiomie at drop off made us feel completely relaxed. We got daily pictures and videos of Colby Jaxx which were so awesome to see him interacting with her and the "friends" Colby Jaxx got to meet and play with. Along with the pics and videos, Naiomie would tell specifics about Colby... for example, he would cry a little at bedtime when he couldn't physically see her and she would let me know the different things she was doing to try to help him settle. Even as far as making it so that he could see into her room to know he wasn't alone. I would HIGHLY recommend using Naiomie. I know when we have a need again, she will be the first person we call. THANK YOU NAIOMIE! (p.s. Colby Jaxx misses you and his new friends). :)”
“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.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Ione 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 Ione 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 Ione.
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 Ione. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Ione 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.
