“We had an absolutely wonderful experience boarding Ollie with Lauren and Benjamin! They were warm, attentive, and clearly love dogs. We received great updates with pictures throughout the stay. We would happily board with them again and highly recommend them!”
“ My two Labradoodles stayrd the Memorial Day weekend with Marion Russo. They had a wonderful time playing with her and her dogs. When I brought them home they were relaxed and tired. I will use Marion's services whenever she is available. A great experience.”
“This has been our dog's second stay with Amber and Michael, and they have been fantastic! Amber keeps us informed with updates and pictures so that we can feel relaxed and confident that our dog is being well cared for. I would highly recommend them!”
“Cymantha was wonderful with my Jeda while we were gone! She made sure I got updates especially because my dog had previous injuries and needed some special TLC. She truly is a loving warm person who loves dogs and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. I would definitely leave Jeda with Cymantha for my next trip. Jeda loved being with Cymantha! She was a blessing:)”
“Arianna took care of our senior pug. She was very kind to him and considerate of his needs (for example not walking in the heat). She provided a lot of updates and photos as well. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Kyle was excellent with our senior dog, Oatmeal. He gave us regular updates with photos and our dog felt very comfortable in his home. We will definitely book with Kyle again in future.”
“Stacie was so communicative, friendly, and understanding. She sent me pictures daily of my girl, and was so kind in all of her messages. Her family is incredibly loving. I can’t wait for her to watch my girl again in the future because I know that she’s in capable and safe hands!”
About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs through having our own family dog and looking after other people’s pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. My priority is always making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Hi there! I know that dogs are so much more than pets-they’re family. After losing our beloved family dog, we experienced firsthand just how much love, joy, and happiness a furry companion brings into a home. While no dog could ever replace the special place ours holds in our hearts, we still have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs has become a beautiful way to share that love. I’m based in Santa Rosa and work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. There’s something so special about seeing the happiness dogs bring into our home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your dog may be visiting us for just a little while, but they’ll be welcomed with all the love and warmth of family. My children share my love for dogs, and while they enjoy having furry visitors around, I personally handle all pet care and responsibilities. Any interactions with my children are always supervised by me. I also offer morning and evening and weekend drop-in visits.
“Katy provided a true at home experience and sent daily pictures of our Schnauzer cuddled up next to her lovely daughter. When we picked her up, Stella ran to members of Katie’s family as well as us. She was clearly comfortable with them. My husband was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home with us! We booked late on a holiday weekend and ended up rescheduling our pick up time to a couple hours later. Katie was totally accommodating. We had a perfect boarding experience! Thanks Katie and also to your lovely family. We hope to see you again soon!”
About: 🐾❤️When I needed a hand, I found your paw -Unknown Connecting with animals has always come so naturally to me. Dogs and cats fill a special place within us. My goal is to share that connection and pair it with 10 solid years of pet sitting so that pets and parents feel confident and comfortable. I offer doggo walking, boarding, day care, and transportation, and I am skilled in the administration of medicine. I am punctual, responsible, kind and easily provide loving care that meets all pets where they are. I always keep emergency contacts ready and communicate openly with you. I understand that finding and trusting the right pet sitter/walker can feel overwhelming! Your doggo deserves a safe and fun environment. I have a Doggo-proof, fun house with 2 huge yards! Whether your doggo digs active playtime, or seeks quiet companionship, I will have the tails all wagging! I have 2 doggos, ages 8 and 9. I love them to pieces. I can’t wait for the possibility of meeting yours! PS: Dogs are OF COURSE allowed on the bed, and couch. I couldn’t imagine life without it! PPS: I drop in cat visits, because: “"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." I’m available: Monday: 8am-7pm Tuesday: 8am-7pm Wednesday: 8am-7pm Thursday: 8am-7pm Friday: 8am-6pm Weekends- by appointment only Holidays- by appointment only I have 2 large dog friendly fenced yards with plenty of room to play and explore. My house is 100% doggo friendly and centrally located in Santa Rosa!
“We had a dog care need come up with two weeks notice and Sheila was able to help us out. This was our first time using Rover for a sitter or boarding and Sheila (with her husband) made Rory feel at home. She got her cuddles, scritches, treats and a big yard to run after the ball. I loved the updates and pictures of Rory enjoying her weekend doggy getaway.”
“Sarah was absolutely terrific. She kept in communication with us on a daily basis which put any stress associated with leaving your pet to rest. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet boarding needs. I will be using Sarah now as my first choice!”
“We are so grateful that Bernadette takes such good care of our little Skippy. Gives us such piece of mind to be gone, knowing that he has a friendly and caring place to stay.”
“Merrill was great. We had to take care of our son's dog while we were on a family reunion, so contacted her a couple of days before. She was responsible, flexible with letting us pick him up for a day hike, and gave us regular updates. She seems to really enjoy dogs too. Thanks for the help Merrill!”
“Mariaelena was great with our two dogs. They are both elderly and one unexpectedly became a bit grouchy about his kennel and was sure to keep up reassured that everyone was doing fine despite the unexpected. Would totally trust her with our doggies anytime.”
“Jennifer was incredible with our young (and wild) golden. He got all the exercise, discipline, and care he needed, all in scenic nature surroundings. She even helped with a pesky ear infection. Best of all, her well-trained pack was there to assist in socializing the wild child. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Laura was friendly, profressional, and made us feel at such ease leaving our baby Digit with her. We were out of thr country and requested emails and she was more than happy to oblige. Laura provided frequent updates and our pup looked happy and healthy in every picture sent. Laura dogs were passive and easy for our dog to get along with. Overall I would definitely recommend Laura”
“Sarah and Matt were wonderful sitters! We have a somewhat nervous girl, and they were super understanding of this and were patient with her-- and with me! It was my first time using Rover and Sarah nicely offered a meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along and answered any/all questions I had. She responded very quickly to any messages and sent cute updates throughout our trip. Pup came back looking great and very happy. I would definitely use them again!! Thank you, Sarah & Matt!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Larkmead. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Larkmead 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 Larkmead 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 Larkmead.
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 Larkmead 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.
