About: Hi! I’m Kayla, I have over a year of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand canine body language and am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperament. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following each pet's routine. I love working with animals and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I am currently completing a school externship during the week, so my availability is primarily on Thursdays and weekends. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care and keeping pet parents updated throughout each visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and any household rules. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure pets have fresh water and a clean space. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently care for my own 14-year-old dog, so I’m familiar with senior pet needs, including slower walks, extra patience during mealtimes, mobility assistance, and maintaining a comfortable routine. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, exercising, and providing lots of attention and affection. I regularly take my Doberman, Claddagh on runs and help care for my sister’s dog, so I’m confident handling both large and energetic breeds. I’ve also cared for a rescued litter of kittens and have experience with cats of different personalities and temperaments. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower-paced routine, I’ll provide dependable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently a full-time student at Lincoln Tech, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am generally available between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM on weekdays, have open availability on Fridays from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and am available all day on most weekends. Outside of school, I babysit and care for family pets, so I’m used to balancing responsibilities and maintaining consistent routines. I always make time to provide attentive, dependable care and will communicate clearly about my availability when booking. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, exercise, feeding schedules, or other special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

“We had the pleasure of having Melissa care for our miniature poodle, Sabana, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Melissa listened to all of our personal requests and followed through on them perfectly—from playtime to potty breaks and everything in between. It was clear that she treated our puppy as if she were her own, and we truly appreciated her going above and beyond to ensure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and happy during her drop-ins. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate to request her—you’ll be glad you did!”
“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lodi
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!
Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -
Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lodi stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lodi choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
