“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”

About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“We were so pleased that we found Vadym for our Bella. Vadym and his family were very good with Bella and treated her like their own. They have a nice home with a good size backyard, and Vadym would play ball with Bella for break time. We got photos and videos from Vadym every day. I will definitely use Vadym again next time. Will also recommends his service to others too.”

“Amazing!! They watched my two dogs on short notice and were absolutely amazing! They made me feel so comfortable at drop-off and reassured me that my dogs were in great hands. They sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly patient and accommodating when we ran a little late for pickup and needed to extend their stay by an hour. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”

“Sarah goes above and beyond when she walks our dog Ruckus. He can be quite reactive on leash and Sarah really takes the time and patiently trains him through his triggers. She has even given us some strategies on how we handle him on leash. If you are looking for a dog walker for a reactive dog, we recommend Sarah!”

“Chong did a phenomenal job with our pups. They both came back freshly bathed! I have never had a sitter throw in a bath without requesting it before. We had to book last minute for 4 days and Chong was very responsive. We got all the communication squared away within 2 hours and she even gave us a discount for the second dog. Through the stay she sent us picture updates. Watching our dogs interact with her when we came to pick them up gave me enough confidence that they had a great time! I will definitely use her for future pet sitting needs!”

“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”

“We are so grateful to Nazgûl, she sent daily photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our cat, Tiggy , was very happy and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely use her again!”

“David is great! This was our first experience with him. For the first time Mila did not jump in my arms when she saw me at pickup. She was perfectly happy with David. Finding someone trustworthy is hard to find. I feel like you could trust him as he also can relate since he has his own dog. Super kind and careful with treating Mila. I truly appreciate how responsive he is. Fantastic all around!! 🙏”

“Lori was amazing with your dog! She sent us frequent photos and videos and treated her like one of her own. I would recommend Lori to anyone. Your dog will be in great hands!”


“Angie and her family took such wonderful care of my pup Jack. He was one happy dog throughout his stay. He was so tired from playing with Angie’s puppy (great Dane) and another dog, that he slept for hours the day I picked him up. He was well cared for, happy and tired, which means he had a great time. Angie’s son loved My dog jack as if he was his own and Angie sent photos to show it, which warmed my heart. I would recommend Angie and her family to care for your dog anytime. When I couldn’t be there for my pup due to work travel, Angie will always be my first choice to be a subsatute parrnt to Jack. Thanks again for the love and care of my little buddy Jack! You all are awesome!”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”

“Andrew was wonderful and communicative! He took amazing care of our boys and kept us up to date a lot. This was extremely helpful as one of our dogs is high maintenance and requires medication.”

“Claudia was amazing. I would recommend her to anybody who wants their dog taken care of like they were a special family member. Claudia agreed to take care of my senior poodle at the last minute and was exceptional. She sent frequent pics and updates. My old girl came back happy.”

“Vicki was great with my 8 month old Aussie pup! He did an overnight stay with her. There was a bit of sorting out of things between my pup and her dog, and she handled the situation like a pro. When I came the next morning to pick up my guy the 2 were getting along like old buds. Vicki knows what she is doing. Highly recommend. Thanks!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE Alicia and Christian and so does our Milo. This is the 3rd time we leave Milo with them because they are simply amazing, caring, communicative, all the great qualities of a dog sitter! Don’t even look any further, they are the right family for the care of your little one 💕”

“Amanda and her family were so great with Bogey, and on were super flexible on short notice. She was patient with him as he warmed up, provided updates (including pics and vids) multiple times a day. You can just tell they’re dog people, couldn’t recommend them more!”

“Michele is amazing! She took such great care of our pup who felt comfortable with her right away (and he is quite shy). Updates were excellent and made us feel at ease for our whole international trip. Excited to have her as a sitter for Snooki.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Lilac 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 Lilac.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lilac 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.
