“Lillie was great! She was super easy to communicate with and let us come by for a meet and greet first. Baloo appreciated the AC in her house and seemed happy and tired when I picked him up. We would use Lillie again!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“Dustin was wonderful with our dog Nala for 3 nights. Nala had a great time socializing with the other dogs there and we could tell she was having such a great time in all the updates we received. Thanks so much Dustin!”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job boarding Tali for 2 weeks. She always responded to my texts very promptly and was flexible with my changing plans which really made a difference. Everything about her was trustworthy. And most importantly she clearly loved Tali and took great care of her which made my trip worry free. Tali was calm and happy and fully herself when I picked her up and in the days after. I would board her again with Elizabeth without any hesitation!!!”
“Rosa and Kevin were wonderful! They were super responsive, easy to communicate with and took such good care of our pups. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pups were well taken care of while we were traveling!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Julia was able to take Roger at the last minute and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She took him on several fun adventures and made sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Roger came home happy and tired, the best sign of a great stay! I’m so grateful for the flexibility and care and would absolutely book with Julia again.”
“If I could give Matt a 10 star.... I definitely would!!! He was so great with my lil pooch!! If you need a dog sitter.. and you want a hassle free, great sitter.. pick Matt!!!! We will be back. Roxie says woof!!”
“Jenna was so great watching our little Dachshund. She arrived almost 15 minutes early to our meeting point. I was worried because our dog had never been away from us . In addition he also has separation anxiety when I am not around. To our surprise he connected with Jenna right away and didn’t even notice when I sneaked away. She took care of our Elliott as if it was her own per. I can highly recommend Jenna and will for sure book her again if needed. Thanks again so much Jenna for giving us an enjoyable night out.”
“Thank you Bianca! Bianca took wonderful care of Kuma and we appreciate her excellent communication and flexibility. We would absolutely ask Bianca to dog sit again. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I live in the Inner Richmond with my husband and our two dogs, a Maltipoo and a Pomeranian. I spend most of my time at home and only welcome one guest dog at a time, so your pup can get plenty of attention during their stay. I've had my own dogs since 2019, and I know how hard it can be to leave them with someone else when traveling. That's why I do my best to make sure every dog feels comfortable and well cared for while they're here. We usually go on two walks a day, often in nearby Golden Gate Park. If your dog prefers separate walks, I'm happy to do that too! I'll also send you photos and daily updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away. 😊 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and my dogs go on two walks daily. If you prefer, I can also walk your dog separately from my own dogs. I have a Maltipoo and a Pomeranian and understand how important safety and comfort are. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and needs and always prioritize their well-being. Whether it is feeding, walking, grooming, or daily care, I take a gentle and patient approach to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“Ashish was great. Good communication and very accommodating. Our dog had fun with a few other dogs about his size. It was a good experience overall. Definitely would do a repeat.”
“Tatiana and Renat took amazing care of our dog! We were on a long trip and did not have to worry a bit as we regularly received wonderful messages with pictures from Tatiana updating us about how things were going. We are so grateful for the great care that they provided. ❤️”
“I had a last minute change for my trip and couldn’t bring my dog anymore. I messaged Cynthia within a few hours of having to leave and she was super responsive, very flexible and agreed to watch my dog for the weekend. I picked my pup up and she was tired and happy.”
“My dog had a great time with Katie! She was very easy to communicate with, lots of pictures and made sure my pup felt comfortable during his first stay.”
“Winnie had a wonderful time with Melissa! It was only Winnie's second time staying overnight away from home, and Melissa's care, proactive communication, and photos put me at ease while traveling. Winnie came home happy and well-cared for, and I am so appreciative!”
“Muzy and Semih were excellent with our dog Panko. They gave him the space he needs to settle in, and lots of comfort and cuddles once he asked for them. They shared frequent photos and updates. We’re excited to board Panko with them again!”
“This was the second time we’ve booked Gordon and Allison. They and their kids once again took really great care of our Tofu. We appreciated the cute daily photo and update. We’ll be sure to book them again the next time we travel!”

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 Lagunitas-Forest Knolls 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 Lagunitas-Forest Knolls 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 Lagunitas-Forest Knolls.
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.

You and your Lagunitas-Forest Knolls 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.
