“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”
“Ana is the best! I'm forever grateful for her. She took care of my 16 yr. old baby for a week. Ana and her family treated her like their own!!! She sent me pictures & updated me. I truly knew my baby was the best care possible!!”
“She did a great job with keeping my husky safe and happy especially during the holidays and while it was raining. She was quick to respond and let me know in full detail what my dog was up to and informed me of any problems that she noticed. The only small issue I had was that I wished she updated me earlier about how my dog was doing but besides that she was great.”
“I am so appreciative of Breanna! She was great with my fur baby! She made sure both me and my dog were comfortable, safe, and happy! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates! Breanna was amazing with learning the needs of my pup and tending to them!”
“Awesome awesome awesome! I absolutely appreciate Akie so much! She communicates well and is very understanding. I had a messy schedule this time and she helped out way more that I could have asked. Definitely recommend and definitely my go to in this area.”
“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 8 years, and I have two of my own who are part of the family! I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, administering medications, and even giving baths. Neighbors, friends, and family have counted on me to care for their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or managing special needs, I bring patience, love, and dependable care every time. I’m currently working part-time, and I’m fully available on Fridays and throughout the weekend. That means I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I’m happy to help with boarding, walks, drop-ins, and more—especially during the days when pet parents need the most support. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, well-behaved dogs to keep your pup company if they’re staying with me. I’m also happy to provide care at your home—making sure your pets stay in a familiar environment without any stress or discomfort. I follow your routines closely and can crate your dog if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
About: Hello, my name is Diana. Ive had experience walking and sitting dogs for over 5 years now and I love being able to meet different dogs of all shapes and sizes along with their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
“Joeline was great, she's very attentive and caring when it came to Duquesa. She made sure she got the love and attention she deserves while I was gone. She fed and took care of her like she was family. Thank you so much I highly appreciate you.”
“Alexis is by far the most considerate, conscientious and caring sitter. Excellent and meticulous attention, great communication - we couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone who wants personalized and dedicated caregiving for their pet. I will not hesitate to rebook.”
About: We basically had a zoo in my home growing up. I’ve had pets since elementary ranging in a variety of breeds from chihuahua to bulldog to boxer to husky. I currently have a 16 year old chiweenie, a 2 year old shepsky, and two cats. I am a student at San Diego State University but I am currently in New Jersey for the summer and would love to hang out with your fur babies:) I can crate your pet or give them a bath if needed. I’m also really good at following instructions so as long as you leave a short description of what you need to get done I got you.
About: I’ve been working with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments for 5 years. Having been a training and using my knowledge on how to build solid foundation and structure to have trust, respect and love from the dogs that I have come to meet. I’m available the majority of the week. This gives me opportunity to have the dogs socialize in groups or on walks during the day. I can drop off or pick up at an owners home if I’m able to, but I’m also open to meet people half way if it makes things easier. Depending on the group I may have that day, I like to have them all in a play group. After I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood or depending giving field trips to the park since I live close by. In the afternoon they get a nap time, usually if they get lunch I wait for them to rest before they revive their food. When nap time is over they return outside, back into play groups. Then the process repeats where they get another nap time, play time and then dinner if they receive one. I am also available to work around a specific routine or schedule may have for their own dog. My goal at the end of the day is for the dogs to receive good exercise, enriching social time and enjoy their rest period. A tired dog is a happy dog. Understanding that each dog is different and not all dogs have the same energy level, I try and give each dog the right amount attention they deserve to make them feel fulfilled and happy.
“Thank you, Samantha... Everything whent as planned, I appreciate you being available on short notice to care for Zeus for the weekend. Regular updates and communication were great!!! Zeus came home tired, and happy had great time with other pups. Thank you, Thank you🙏🏽 We hope to book with you in the near future.👍🏼🙂”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I helped care for my childhood dog while he had cancer, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to provide extra care when a pet is sick. I’m also comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, cleaning up after pets, exercise, and keeping their environment clean. I currently have three Golden Retrievers of my own, who I absolutely love and consider part of my family. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM Monday through Friday and I’m off all weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with my dogs and making walks and playtime part of my weekly routine. I would love the opportunity to give other pets the same attention, care, and companionship I give my own. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, and give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and always keep the space clean and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and pay close attention to their behavior and needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lonsmith
Dominie met us out front at both the drop off and pick up. She sent frequent pictures, but the real tell is how our dog looks and feels at the end of the stay. There are a couple of favorites, and Dominie is one of our top choices. Will definitely choose her home again.
She has became my favorite dog sitter. First time booking with her and she was very friendly and attentive to our fur babies. Very communicative. Sent us detailed updates periodically. Flexible with time adjustments and was even able to book us for a last minute booking. She was very welcoming and showed me exactly where my dog will be staying. She administered medication on one of our dogs properly. She will care for your dogs like they are her own. No complaints and will definitely be using her again in the future!

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.
96% of sitters in Lonsmith 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 Lonsmith 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 Lonsmith.
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 Lonsmith. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Lonsmith 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.
