“So lucky to have found Cristal for our weekend getaway. Very easy to book with, great communication and she provided regular updates during our doggie’s stay. Would definitely book again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Boris received from August 19–25! He was treated like paw family lots of playtime with the kids and updates that kept us smiling. It’s clear he felt safe, loved, and totally at home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable dog sitting. Boris gives two paws up! 🐾”
“This family took such great care of our babies. We had daily communication and pictures and videos. Lilo and Stitch looked so happy and energetic! They loved playing with Loki. Dipankar and Nagma took extra care in grooming Lilo and training her on walks. Also taking care of Stitch’s ear infection by applying his drops. We appreciate them so much. We will for sure hire them again in the future, as they are like another family for our babies. Thank you Dipankar and Nagma for all your care, patience and love for Lilo and Stitch.”
About: I’ve doggy sat other pups from age 10 years old until now (I’m 40). I’ve owned two pets in my life. Yorkshire Terrier (17 years RIP) and now currently my Bernese Mountain Dog I’m currently unemployed so always available! My previous job was work from home 5 days a week. I walk my dog 3x a day to get him outside! I have a fenced backyard and a walking path / trail nearby my house that I can easily take your dog on a long walk!
“Omg!! There are no words to describe how completely wonderful and understanding she was. She had so much patience for my Frida who was extremely anxious and peed on herself. She was super kind and made sure she had a great time. She took care of both of our dogs so well and we are super grateful to her. She gave them their medications and kept me updated every day. Couldn’t be happier with the care they received.”
“Our dog Sugar had a great experience during her 3-day stay. Sugar loved playing with their dog. We were always updated and they sent us pictures and videos of Sugar. We will definitely use them again in the future! I highly recommend them!”
“We felt very comfortable with leaving our dog, Luna, with Lauren and Mike for the week. We knew she would be well taken care of. Luna is a lab puppy and has lots of energy, so it is great that she has Roxy to play with.”
About: I’ve had no less than 3 dogs and as many as 5 for the last 25 years. All things dog put me in my happy place and I’d love to help you out with yours. I’ve had puppies and seniors and everything in between. I work part time so I’m semi flexible. Tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to make it work. I’d love to add to my end of week and weekend work. I have a fully fenced backyard and a separate fenced side yard. Both have shady areas. I also don’t mind having pets in my home so I’d imagine they would be inside with me the majority of the time. I’m also open to whatever you need for your pet in your home.
About: I've been Twixie's dog dad for six years, she's an SPCA rescue, so I know firsthand what it takes to help a dog feel safe, loved, and settled into a new routine from day one. I've trained her myself from scratch, and she now knows sit, stay, stop, down, roll over, high five, and even "boop," so I'm comfortable working through training and behavior, not just basic care. I also took care of family dogs growing up in young adulthood, so I'm used to adjusting to another dog's habits and quirks, not just my own. Beyond hands-on care, I compile videos of my dog, so paying close attention to dogs all day isn't a chore for me, it's already how I spend my time. Pet care is a genuine priority for me right now, not something squeezed around a job. I'm reliably available from 10am to 3pm, which is plenty of time for walks, play, and attentive care without rushing anything. That's a consistent window you can actually count on, not just "whenever I have time." Your dog would be cared for at my house, which has a fully fenced backyard — plenty of safe space to run and play — plus a park right across the street for longer walks. My own dog Twixie, a friendly SPCA rescue, is there too, so your pup won't be alone, she's used to sharing space with other dogs. I'm also able to crate your dog if that's part of their routine or if you'd prefer it. I pay attention to each dog's own routine, feeding, and boundaries rather than treating every dog the same way.
“Shauna took great care of my baby! I think my dog thought I paid to send her to camp! She had a great time and had some new experiences meeting her horse, goat and chickens… and the great chicken race! Scarlett says thanks for the cuddles and making her feel like she was at home! We’ll be booking Shauna again!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, adaptable approach and experience with both puppy training basics and senior pet care. I'm reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and understood. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time and am off during the summers and holidays, which allows me to spend a lot of quality time at home. I am typically out of the house for only 3–4 hours at a time, so pets are not left alone for long periods. I truly love animals and am actively involved with a nonprofit rescue organization, so caring for pets is something I am very passionate about. Their well-being, enrichment, and daily needs would always be a priority in my home. If your dog is not used to being around cats, I do have an in law unit (where my mother in law lives) that I can put the cats in during your dogs stay. This is also the case if I happen to be fostering a cat during the time of your dogs stay. I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as a walking trail close to our house for regular walks and enrichment. Pets receive supervised outdoor time, exercise, play, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Because I am only out of the house for short periods (3–4 hours at most), pets are not left alone for long stretches. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), crate routines, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I provide mental stimulation through toys, basic training reinforcement, and interactive play. I try to maintain their established routines to reduce stress and ensure consistency. Clean water, a tidy feeding area, and lots of love and attention are always part of my standard care.
“Tiffany was amazing! If you have an anxious/nervous dog, I definitely recommend Tiffany, she was amazing with my dog. Thank you so much for everything I definitely will be rebooking again!”
“Bella loves Liam and Nadia!!! We have used their overnight service three times now while we were on vacation and they have consistently taken excellent care of her. They also send us lots of pictures and videos. We do not worry knowing she is in great hands. Our Bella especially loves playing and exploring their property with their their little dog Bella. Thank you again!!”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Jax seemed to have a wonderful time. Chelsea is great, she sent lots of pics and a video of Jax playing at the park and relaxing at her home. I felt he was in great hands and I will definitely book with her again. She is awesome!?”
About: I am a high school English and Theatre teacher. We love our pets and treat them like family! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and make sure they get a lot of attention. I have a knack for understanding dogs’ body language and individual needs. Our family dog is a Frenchi named Louis. We have taken care of all sizes of dogs with various energy levels as well as had cats over the years. I love nature walks with dogs and like to make sure they are living their best lives. Cats get snuggles and playtime too! Pets are family! I can do early morning or evening walks on weekdays and anytime on weekends. During Summer break, I am pretty open daily except for a couple trips. I have a fenced yard with a pool and lots of toys.we live about a 15 minute walk from the dog park and attend often with Louis.

“Jovelle was so great with Ruby! She sent so many amazing pics and updates and made Ruby feel right at home. This was our first time booking with Jovelle and she even was able to transport Ruby to her other sitter which was so amazing and helpful. She’s incredibly trustworthy, communicative, and kind and I will certainly book again with her 😊”

I can't thank Deana enough for caring for Rex. It was a long 5 days without my boy but I knew he was in good hands. He was truly loved while I was away. Deana is wonderful and kept me updated on his 'vacation' with her. Your pet will be cared for in a loving home.
Cheri was wonderful to my Beni. It was his first time staying with someone and Cheri made him feel right at home. She cuddled with him and loved him like her own. She kept me updated on how he was doing which put me at ease being away from him. So happy I found her.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful with Audie! From the meet & greet through drop-off, her communication was top-notch: she sent regular photo and video updates that made it so easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands. Audie has separation anxiety, but settled in quickly and didn’t howl, which says a lot about how comfortable she made him feel. She handled his dinner meds and evening supplements without missing a beat, and clearly gave him plenty of playtime and attention in her backyard. When our flights got us home very late, Natalie generously offered to keep him one more night rather than do a late drop-off, which was such a thoughtful call and exactly the kind of judgment you want from someone caring for your dog. He came home happy, well-loved, and clearly had a great time. We’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Natalie!
Anu took care of my 5 month old Basset Hound for 3 nights. My puppy is very shy and nervous around strangers, and Anu was awesome at making her feel safe and secure very quickly. She sent pictures, videos, and updates everyday so I could see how happy and comfortable she was. Anu was great with communication & was absolutely wonderful and caring with my puppy. We will definitely be a repeat customer for boarding and would recommend her to others!
I’ve already booked with Joanne twice, and she’s been wonderful both times. She took care of Zoe like she was part of her own pack, which gave me so much peace of mind. Joanne is very communicative, kind, and clearly loves the dogs she cares for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup.

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 Knightsen 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 Knightsen 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 Knightsen.
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 Knightsen. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Knightsen 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.
