“It was my first time to leave my pets with a sitter, I didn’t know how it worked and didn’t know what to expect. For some reason, the way she handled my pets during the drop off, gave me peace of mind that they will be in good hands. She texted me pictures of how they were doing in the process. Thank you! We will be back when the need arise.”
“If I could give Michelle 10 stars I would. She’s very friendly, kind, professional and good at what she does. My Dog, Luna, is very energetic but that was no problems for Michelle. I would definitely recommend Michelle, Luna will be returning soon!”
“All I can say is WOW! Was visiting a friend in Fresno and needed a place for my Chihuahua to hang out overnight as the dog and my friend’s cat ate not that fond of each other. What a fortuitous find in Reza. So welcoming. He made everything so easy. He was wonderful at accommodating me at the last minute.Terrific communication—I think I got more pictures and updates on her overnight stay than I’ve gotten in an entire week-long stay elsewhere And his teenage daughter was great with her. And Reza was so understanding when I was late to pick her up. I so appreciate that as I was a little frantic about it and he reassured me it was OK. Highly recommend this wonderful, kind dog sitter. A perfect, worry free stay!”
“Frank and Nancy gave our dog excellent care! They were very responsive, professional, and kind. They sent regular picture/video updates and took our dog on frequent walks. Frank initiated a meet and greet beforehand to meet our dog and that made the drop-off for our dog’s 10 day boarding go so much smoother. We had a great experience with Frank and Nancy and we will be using them again!”
“To be honest I was nervous leaving my Lovie with a stranger but the way Samuel presented himself from start to finish was like dropping Lovie off to a family member for the night..as long as Samuel is providing his services I will never leave Lovie with someone else!! Lovie and myself THANK U VERY MUCH!!”
“This was my first time boarding my golden retriever Simba here and he had a blast! They have a big yard with plenty of space to run around and there are other dogs for him to play with. He stayed there 6 nights and I knew he was being taken care of. I will continue to board my dog here on future vacations, thank you so much.”
“Wonderful sitter. My dogs love her and we trust her with our fur babies. She sends photos and takes them on walks and just treats them so great. I go to her whenever we need a sitter, for short stays and also for weeks or months at a time. I recommend her highly.”
“Briana took care of our three month old poodle and pug. She was great with them, she gave them baths (when needed), played with them and kept me posted daily on them. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone who is wanting the best care for their babies.”
“We are thankful to Jennifer for taking good care of our boy while we were out of town for work. We received quick communication and good availability from Jennifer. Throughout the stay, we received picture updates and quick communication as well. At his return, our energetic pup was healthy, tired, and a happy boy! We didn't have any issues with our multiple day stay with Jennifer. She really gets to know your pet and understands their needs.”
“I can’t recommend Victoria highly enough! She took amazing care of my dog Bruno over the weekend, and her service was exceptional. She was incredibly fast and responsive, always answering any questions or updates promptly. Throughout the weekend, she sent regular pictures of Bruno, which made me feel so reassured and connected. It was clear that Bruno had an absolute blast while staying with her—he was happy and well-cared for the entire time. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If you're looking for someone reliable and attentive to take care of your furry friend, Victoria is the perfect choice!”
“Thanh-Mai did a wonderful job with our three girls, which included a four month old puppy. Puppies are so much more work than older dogs and she handled our little Stella marvelously. We received updates every day about how they were doing with videos and photos. The dogs were so very comfortable with her and in her home. They adjusted easily and this was their first time there. She took excellent care of them and they had fun. Thank you, Thanh-Mai. We are so very grateful to you and James. The girls say thank you as well!!!”
“Jennifer was awesome! I was so nervous booking a sitter for my puppy for the first time and Im so glad I chose Jennifer. She kept me updated the whole time, and after seeing the photos,my pup looked so happy and comfortable with her. Will for sure book again next time when I'm looking for a sitter to watch my lil monster.”
“Just the look on my dogs face when Jenna sent me a picture of her said it all. She was running with wild abandonment and I say she was smiling. Highly recommend and will seek out next time I need a sitter.”
“This was the absolute BEST experience we have had! Remi and Cooper absolutely loved being with Lisa and her two pups. They were able to play, be taken care of, and enjoyed every second of their stay. We highly recommend Lisa!”
“Kristine took such good care of my Husky! We were pretty worried due to his anxiety at night sometimes but she gave him plenty of exercise & loved on him just as much as we would! Also love to picture & video updates made us feel so much more at ease on our vacation. Thanks Kristine!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“Nelson is good to our girl! She loves him and his family so much! He so accommodating and committed and makes sure to lets us know everything and anything! We will continue to drop Raya off with Neslon!”

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.
95% of sitters in Kismet 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 Kismet 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 Kismet.
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 Kismet. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Kismet 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.
