“This guy knows everything, has ample different facilities to give the dogs an enriching vacation, whatever their specific needs. I'll be going out of my way to come back next time”
“We are thankful to Jennifer for taking good care of our boy while we were out of town for work. We received quick communication and good availability from Jennifer. Throughout the stay, we received picture updates and quick communication as well. At his return, our energetic pup was healthy, tired, and a happy boy! We didn't have any issues with our multiple day stay with Jennifer. She really gets to know your pet and understands their needs.”
“Jennifer is amazing and treats your pet like a member of the family! She loves and understands dogs. I know my Cooper is loved and well cared for when she is with Jennifer. I highly recommend her!”
“Megan was great! She kept us updated everyday about our dogs. I especially loved the goofy pictures she would send of my babies. I could tell that both my boys were very comfortable with her and had a lot of fun boarding with her. I would reccomend Megan to anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitter.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“This review is a little tardy but well worth writing. Like most fur babies owners we are overly concerned with the wellbeing and safety of our babies. Farin had our babies this past weekend and she delivered what she promised. Photos multiple times during the day were sent to us. I could tell my babies were being well taken care and having fun! They came home happy and exhausted from their little vacation away from us. I highly recommend Farin to provide care for your fur babies!!”
“To be honest I was nervous leaving my Lovie with a stranger but the way Samuel presented himself from start to finish was like dropping Lovie off to a family member for the night..as long as Samuel is providing his services I will never leave Lovie with someone else!! Lovie and myself THANK U VERY MUCH!!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent years dog-sitting for neighbors. I’m experienced, dependable, and genuinely love caring for animals of all personalities and sizes. 🐶🐱❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to accommodate different routines, walk times, and care schedules to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for you and your pet. 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs and years of dog-sitting for neighbors, I understand how important it is to earn both pets’ and owners’ trust. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment while giving each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my hands-on experience with animals in both volunteer and home settings. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. At home, I’ve also cared for five pets, so I understand the consistency, patience, attentiveness, and responsibility that come with managing multiple animals at once. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and temperament while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and given plenty of attention. I am currently working part-time in a remote position, which provides me with a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for pets. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks and potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, household instructions, and any specific care preferences provided by the owner. I also prioritize maintaining a clean, comfortable, and safe environment so pets can feel secure while their owners are away.
“Eric was amazing with my golden retriever puppy. He sent daily updates on how she was doing and I could tell she was in very good hands. I would definitely board my dog with him again.”
“Briana took care of our three month old poodle and pug. She was great with them, she gave them baths (when needed), played with them and kept me posted daily on them. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone who is wanting the best care for their babies.”
About: I own four cats, and I have lots of experience with kittens and senior cats. I have some experience with puppies and enjoy running around with them. I am willing and able to provide great pet care and accommodate any quirks your pets might have. I also understand that pet care can be expensive; I am always happy to work together on a plan that can work for you! I'm currently on a break from taking college courses, so I have a lot of free time. I am excited to spend my time doing something I love. I will care for your babies as if they were my own. I ensure quality care that provides you with peace of mind, while gone. I will give your pet 110%. I am not a pet expert, but I love researching my client's specific breed to ensure I am giving the best care.
About: 🌟 What Sets Me Apart: Attentive, Heat-Conscious Care & Pug-Approved HospitalityMy pet care experience is rooted deeply in the daily love and specialized care I provide for my own beloved pug, Benito, who is turning four this October! Raising a flat-faced breed in Fresno has given me critical, hands-on experience in keeping dogs safe, happy, and healthy. Flat-Faced & Heat-Sensitive Care: I am highly experienced in monitoring breathing, energy levels, and heat exhaustion. Bilingual & Smart Communication: Benito is fully bilingual, understanding commands in both English and Spanish! Food-Motivated Positive Reinforcement: Benito is highly food-motivated and loves his tricks. I excel at using pet-safe treats, positive praise, and structured rewards to keep guest dogs feeling confident, comfortable, and motivated in my home. A Built-In Best Friend: Benito is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He provides a calm, low-stress environment for guest dogs who need a gentle companion to lounge with while I study. 📅 How Pet Care Fits Into My RoutineBecause I study from home full-time, my schedule is incredibly stable, flexible, and entirely open for pet care! Your furry friend will never be left alone for long periods and will receive constant companionship throughout the day. My routine revolves around my own pug, Benito, and keeping him safe from the intense Fresno summer heat. Your pet will seamlessly join our daily routine: Morning Exercise: We wake up early to catch the coolest part of the day, heading out for morning walks before the pavement heats up. Daytime Study Buddies: During the scorching mid-day hours, your dog will relax inside a fully air-conditioned home with Benito and me. They can lounge on the cool floors right next to my desk while I study. Evening Wind-Down: Once the sun goes down and temperatures dip, we head out for final evening walks and backyard potty breaks before settling in for a quiet night. As a dedicated pet caregiver, your dog's safety and emotional well-being are my absolute top priorities. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member behind, which is why I focus on structured care, constant communication, and a secure environment.
“Lisa is phenomenal! She made sure my dog Hashbrown was well taken care of from the moment he arrived at her house till the moment he got picked up! She stayed on top of his potty, feeding, and play time. I got countless updates, photos, and videos during Hashbrown’s stay with Lisa. Hashbrown had an amazing stay with Lisa, and I highly recommend and would book with her again!”
About: Ive always been an animal lover who has treated animals as their own. They have feelings, they’re no different than us and deserve all the love in the world I have a normal 7-4 work day. I’m usually always looking for walks after work and I’m home no later than 4:15pm. Playing with my own pets makes me so happy and that’s what I look forward to every day I care for them extremely well. I’m kind of an anal person so the cleanliness of it all has to be 10/10. I clean daily, multiple times a day and make sure their foods and waters are always fresh
“Kim was so great with Bandit! He definitely got all the attention and love he needed from her and her family! Thank you Kim! If you need someone to love and care for your pet make sure you pick Kim! Bandit will definitely be back!”
“This was my first time boarding with Derek. I needed someone to care for my 2 dogs over weekend. After some preliminary messenging, he agreed to board my dogs. After meeting him in person, I was confident he was a good choice. Derek loves dogs and has decades of experience in caring for them. My dogs were happy at Derek's house and woruldn't hesitate to have him board them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Locans
We had a last minute cancellation for dog boarding, but Reshan was accommodating and we were able to get our pup in for boarding. We’re happy with the care Christmas received and appreciate the daily updates. Reshan is prompt and very knowledgeable. He makes sure all dogs under his care are safe and never leave them in stressful situations. Thank you again for the great care.
Our pups stayed with Julie and Angel again for 10 days. I can not recommend them enough. They are just amazing! They take such a wonderful care of our pups! You can be assured that your furbabies will be cared for and their wellbeing will be their priority. They will give you peace of mind which is priceless. Thank you so very much again!!!
Amazing and super flexible, communicative sitter - we had a super last minute request due to an emergency and Maria kept us updated with how our pup was the entire duration. She sent pictures and videos and our pup looked like he had a great time (so smiley in every pic). Since it was an emergency we weren't 100% sure when we would be able to drop off and pick up with certainity and she worked with us on it. Will definitely rebook when we can, highly suggest Maria as a sitter!

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 Locans home-away-from-home, 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 Locans.
<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 Locans 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 , 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 .
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.
