“Renee and her family were great. When we plan to go out of town again, we will definitely reach out to Renee again. Even through My Ziva's way of telling me it was time for me to come home. Ziva stops eating, but I had told Renee that Ziva does this, and Renee let me know when Ziva started not eating. I gave her some suggestions to try, but it always comes down to her getting hungry enough to finally eat. Renee knew exactly what to do, and luckily she had her husband around to give Ziva her medicine. I think Renee could have done it, but I'm sure it was definitely easier for her husband to do it. I wish I could give her a bad review so no body else will want to use her😆 but I would be lying, and I can't do that to her. Everything about her and her family is Awesome, Highly recommend them. If there is one thing I wish she could do more of, is sending more pictures. But, with Ziva sometimes its hard to take pictures, because all she wants to do is lay around. And you can only send so many pictures of her laying around. Thank you Renee and Family, you took Great care of my Baby. Hope to see you all again soon. Sending a hug from me, and a big slobbery kiss 👅 from Ziva. To say Thank You.”
“Amazing sitter, Breanna was so attentive and great with Dewey! She is very responsive and clearly loves animals, I would definitely book her again! She has a way with pets”
“We felt so comfortable knowing our pup was with Akie once we met her. She was very kind and welcoming, reassuring us our pup would be fine and she did great while there! Akie went above and beyond ensuring our pup was comfortable and felt safe. She sent regular updates and photos/video which helped ease our mind throughout our time away. We will definitely be booking Akie again if we’re ever in the area!”
About: For over 7 years, I’ve provided dedicated care for dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family. Pet parents trust me to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. This will be a safe space for them. I work full-time Mon-Fri. However, Fri-Sun I have more than enough time to provide proper care and lots of attention to your furry friends. They're in good hands. During certain months there will be availability during weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced backyard and one friendly cat, Kurin, for companionship. If needed, I can easily crate your pup. I always supervise playtime, ensure pets have fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I would like them to roam freely around the house unless specified otherwise. The goal is to try and recreate their normal routine, so they feel at home.
“Jill and liz make it so easy for you. I asked last minute if they could watch my dog and without hesitation they agreed. I went over a day before to meet them and to let my dog get familiar with the yard and stuff. Right away jill showed me around and my dog was at home right away playing with the other dogs. She has a beautiful backyard. There's alot for the dogs to do. And she takes them on walks! Amazing! All awhile sending us update texts and pictures We're already bring her back tomorrow to stay again. Thank you jill and liz for opening your home to animals! You two are a blessing.”
“She did a great job with keeping my husky safe and happy especially during the holidays and while it was raining. She was quick to respond and let me know in full detail what my dog was up to and informed me of any problems that she noticed. The only small issue I had was that I wished she updated me earlier about how my dog was doing but besides that she was great.”
“Absolutely amazing photos everyday she's sweet and wonderful easy to talk to very gracious she knows her shit I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone who needed to use this service”

“I had a great experience! He took excellent care of Buddy and made me feel comfortable leaving him with his family. He was very responsive, always replied quickly, and sent me updates and pictures whenever I asked. It was clear Buddy was well cared for and had a great time. I'm especially glad he got along so well with the kiddos. They seemed to really enjoy having him around, and Buddy enjoyed being with them too. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

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 Kern Lake home-away-from-home, 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 Kern Lake.
<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 Kern Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
