“Stephanie took care of our two little Shihpoos for 8 days recently. It was our first time using Rover.com and we are very pleased. She had many, many excellent reviews and repeat customers so we felt she’d be a great dog sitter. She did not disappoint. Our dogs were well taken care of and she communicated with us about them regularly so we’d feel at ease while on vacation. She was especially patient with the older dog who has become very anxious and apprehensive. Will definitely use Stephanie again and highly recommend her. Thank hyou for your patience and tlc Stephanie.”
“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.”
“Wonderful and kind pet sitters! I would recommend them to anyone who needs pet sitting for short stays or long stays. My dog Otis stayed for 2 weeks while we went on vacation and he was comfortable and happy in their home!”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would! Such an amazing young lady who truly loves all dogs as her own. Rocky took to the whole family right away with easy introductions to her own dogs and even made a new best friend. He was so well taken care of I’m sure he’ll be wanting me to go away more often. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sitter! We will definitely be visiting more!!”
“This was my first time leaving Neffi with a sitter and first experience with Rover.com. Irina provided a clean environment and safe yard for Neffi to play. I would like to thank Irina for her excellent communication, photos, and professionalism. Irina did a great job following Neffi's sleep and feeding schedule, so that there was no break in schedule when Neffi returned home. Irina definitely made my first experience a great experience. I would refer her to friends and family! Thank you, Shalanda”
“Corn had the best time! The sitter was super sweet and took such great care of him. I could tell he felt comfortable and had so much fun during his stay. Definitely booking again — highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much! She was amazing. My Daisy instantly went to her. She made my Daisy feel very welcome. Daisy had never been around other dogs but she did really well. Thank you for taking my girl in at the last minute. Also too, I loved receiving pictures and texts throughout the days to update me on Daisy. I will definitely be using her services again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their special one.”
“We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Blaze was very kind and attentive to Mila. I got pictures/videos daily and she fielded all of my questions/concerns with the utmost professionalism. Her knowledge about all things animals was evident and I know that my pup is in good hands. I’ve already secured her care for another trip of mine!”
“This is our second boarding with Sabrina. She was very well organized and kept us updated with pictures and videos of Kikki through out her stay. She was very prompt in responses as well. Will definitely recommend her with my friends who are looking for boarding for their pets.”
“After our initial meeting, we felt very comfortable leaving our mini schnauzer Lucy with Joann and Richard. Joann checked in regularly with updates and pictures and we could tell that our girl was being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future.”
“Brittany and James took a GREAT care of our dog (Blue Heeler) for a little over two weeks. They are very professional, reliable, and responsive. On July 4th, they did everything they could to calm our dog since he was very scared of fireworks. My dog loved to cuddle between Brittany and James 😁 Thank you so much for giving love to Uni and for what you do! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving care for your pups! 🐶”
“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”
“Naomi was amazing and has a huge heart for pups. She had our Benny for 2 nights and was great with communicating and updating us with photos and video of his time there. Highly Recommended! We will be using her for all our vacations.”
“We boarded our two dogs for the first time with Carrie and her family for an overnight stay. My husband and I could tell right away that they were going to be in great hands. I appreciated the quick responses and the update on how they were doing. We would definitely utilize this amazing family again and feel safe and reassured doing so. Sincerely, The Navarrete Family”
“Our experience with Florene and her family, through Rover, was more than I could have ever hoped for or even imagined. They were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with my little Gigi (female teacup morkie). Their services were above and beyond what I even consider to be exceptional. So much so that referring to Florene and her family as service providers would almost seem insulting; they're more like family. I am thrilled to have a new extended family here in Elk Grove and I will DEFINITELY be sending Gigi over to them regularly and without reservation. I couldn't have asked for a better group of good people to adopt as our 'extended family'. We are blessed. <3”

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 Lockeford 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 Lockeford 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 Lockeford.
<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 Lockeford 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.
