“Tyler did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Sasha! He was caring, responsible, and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Sasha was in good hands. Tyler kept me updated and made sure Sasha was happy and well taken care of. I really appreciate how dependable and thoughtful he was. I would absolutely recommend Tyler to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!”
About: Hello! I’ve been teaching first graders for 24 years. While on breaks from teaching, I enjoy being a substitute doggy daycare provider. My fur baby goes to doggy daycare while I teach first graders, so I know what it’s like to entrust others with your loved one! This is where I’ve been trained by the best Doggy Daycare provider in Lathrop! I substitute at my dog’s daycare when I’m not teaching first graders. I will be retiring from teaching soon, but in the meantime, I’m available on weekends when your regular provider isn’t available. Please plan to book in advance, so we can introduce your fur babies to my fur baby. I’m more experienced with Shitzu’s, Poodles, Schnauzers, Yorkies, Doodles, and Cocker Spaniels, and recently had the opportunity to watch a couple of the cutest pugs, and a beautiful long-haired cat! Yes, I have quiet rooms for cats to hang out in and get the royal cat treatment!! I’m open to setting up a meet and greet, or willing to take drop in-short visits if you need that, too!! I will be available for long stays starting in June, so reserve your spot soon. I’m currently teaching Monday-Friday, but will be available on weekends from 4:00 pm Friday to 9:00 pm Sunday. Hourly visits are welcome, as well as over night visits. I can also take evening short visits during the work week! I have a large fenced back yard and my own fur baby to keep your fur baby company! I allow animals on the furniture and they get to sleep on the bed with me, unless they prefer their own crate or bedding. I have a doggy door so they have access to going potty when needed. I also live in a smoke free home.
“Princess had a wonderful time with Rochelle and her beautiful family! She’s very communicative and attentive. I truly loved how she would send pictures and made sure all of princess belongings were in her bag when I picked her up.”
“Hortensia was great with my dog. Caring and loving him like her own. She watched my dog over night for 5 days. Gave me updates every day which also included pictures. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with and helped take care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember! I began watching animals for my family, and then expanded to friends, now I’m ready to help any and everyone! We have housed large and small dogs and many breeds of cats and can’t wait to make yours a part of our family for as long as you need! I am mostly a stay at home mom, but also teach yoga twice a week! I have plenty of time to give your animals brakes, playtime, walks, and plenty of snuggles!! I have a completely fenced in yard and live across the street from a park! We currently have one medium sized golden doodle that loves other animals and kids! We do twice daily feedings and walks. Plus if your animal is up for it plenty of park playtime!
“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Highly Recommend!!! Kathryn and her family treated my pup Shadow like one of their own. Couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for taking such great care and giving her all the love while I was away.”
“I had an excellent experience with Jasmit and her husband who took such good care of Boomer. They provided great communication throughout, sending regular updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was their thoughtfulness - when we accidentally left Boomer’s gentle lead at their place, they went out of their way to drop it off to me. Their genuine care for my dog was evident, and I could tell Boomer was comfortable and well-cared for. I would definitely recommend their services and plan to use them again in the future.”
“All I can say is wow! Susan did a fantastic job, with a stream of videos and pictures of Claire. She even did a special photoshoot with Claire in honor of my wedding! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more impressed. When I picked up Claire, she seemed relaxed and comfortable with Susan which made me so happy.”
“Reyes was wonderful! It was my first time using the service and leaving my dog with anyone but family. He sent me updates and was so communicative. My pup came back happy and tired! It was a great experience and will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you again so much Reyes!”
About: I enjoy being with dogs they are so playful. And they bring love to everyone. They’re like a band-aid. My bf has a dog and he listens to me more than him I love and enjoy being with pets, I can fit it into my daily routine without a problem. I have free time after I’m out of work I have a fenced yard and I am very friendly with any pet, I have a lot of patience for whatever the pet needs to make a more enjoyable time
“Our Nico had an absolutely wonderful time with Kriti. They took such excellent care of Nico and probably pampered him more than us. We loved how smooth the whole process was boarding Nico with Kriti and her husband. Nico also had a great time with family and was content to stay with Kriti and so excited when we dropped him off for dog-sitting. Throughout our trip Kriti sent us pics and videos of Nico and updates so we could stay in touch. Thank you Kriti.”
“We loved Christina, they took such good care of our doggy and the communication while we were away was perfect. We got an update every morning, and when we picked our doggy up, you could tell he was happy with being there!”
“"Maria A. did an amazing job watching Max! He had a blast at the lake, went on adventures, and even made a new friend Bruno - same size, so perfect playmate! Loved that he got lots of love and playtime with bigger buddiesu. Thanks, Maria!" 😊”
“Thank you so much for another wonderful stay. As always my pup comes home happy and healthy. He always has such a great time at Ana’s house!! He’s always so excited to come!! See you soon!”
About: I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience providing overnight care, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ daily routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe, happy, and comfortable. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attentive care, ensuring they receive the support and companionship they need. I also keep pet owners updated with regular communication so they can enjoy their time away with peace of mind. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet. I offer overnight house sitting and other pet care services based on my availability. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s established feeding, exercise, bathroom, medication, and rest routines to ensure consistency and comfort. Before each booking, I communicate with pet owners to understand their expectations, discuss their pet’s specific needs, and confirm that I can provide the appropriate level of care while they are away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and comfort are my highest priorities. When caring for pets in their own homes, I help them feel secure and at ease by maintaining their established routines and familiar surroundings. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication requirements, exercise routines, and household guidelines. I treat each client’s home with respect, maintain a clean and organized environment, and provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to deliver reliable, attentive care while giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind.
About: I've taken care of animals since childhood. In particular, dogs were my main responsibility in the family home. Feeding, walking, bathing, medication administration, and cuddling! I currently homeschool my two children so I will be home at all times to care for your fur babies during their stay with us. We have a yard, with grass, that's fenced in completely. The front door has a dog door so they could have access to outside at any time but it can be closed securely if requested. All plants are pet friendly. My children love all animals so your baby will have plenty of attention and affection.
“From the Meet and Greet with Preetika and her husband, I knew that our morkiepoo would be cared for and safe. They were accommodating that I got to bring our dog’s big doggy playpen to their home. Our dog got along with her Shitzu who was a calm presence to her. Kaley settled in after a day of staying with Preetika for her week long stay. We appreciate her caring nature and won’t hesitate to use Preetika again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was 9, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walking, bathing, and giving them attention. Being around animals for so long has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel comfortable. I’ve learned how to care for different personalities, from playful and energetic to shy and calm, always making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m a student nurse, so caring for others is already a big part of who I am. My classes are Monday through Friday in the evenings (5–10 PM), which leaves me available during the day for check-ins, walks, and quality time with your pets. I’m fully available on Saturdays and make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a private patio, a dog park, and dog washing stations, which makes it a great environment for pets to feel comfortable and active. I have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. If needed, my pets can be safely separated to make sure your pet has their own space and feels secure. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels at home.
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lathrop
We had a great experience with Tyler’s dog boarding. He took care of our dog, Niko, at his home for six days, and Niko was happy and very well looked after the whole time. Tyler sent daily updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Wonderful service! We’ll definitely book with him again.
From our very first meet and greet, we knew we had found someone special! What was meant to be a quick visit turned into a wonderful conversation, many laughs and my human and fur children not wanting to go home. By the time we left, we were calling her Auntie B. She was warm, personable and welcoming. Throughout the stay, she sent plenty of updates with pictures, which we absolutely loved. Auntie B. was incredibly attentive and even shared some thoughtful observations that showed just how much care and attention she gives each dog. We were simply hoping to find someone we could trust with our fur baby, but we found so much more! She (and her husband) are truly a hidden gem and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. We didn’t know we needed an Auntie B. in our lives until now ❤️.
Jasmit, her husband, and their sweet fur baby Ollie went above and beyond taking care of Princess! 🐾❤️ From the moment I dropped her off, I felt so comfortable knowing she was in such loving hands. Princess looked so happy, comfortable, and loved the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of the most important things for me when someone watches Princess is getting updates, and Jasmit was AMAZING about sending pictures, videos, and updates throughout her stay. Being able to see her happy and having fun made me feel so calm and reassured while I was away. Princess is a VERY energetic girl, and Ollie was such a sweet and friendly fur baby who was so patient with her energy! They got along great, and it was so sweet seeing them together. I truly appreciate how much care, attention, and love they gave Princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will DEFINITELY be booking with Jasmit and her family again! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat your fur baby like their own. 🐶💕

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 Lathrop 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 Lathrop 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 Lathrop.
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 Lathrop. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 Lathrop 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.
