“This my second time booking and once again never disappoints! I absolute love my sitter she’s so thoughtful and detailed and the unlimited cute pics of my pup with others always makes me feel melted and happy. I’m so happy I can be a regular! Demi is Top Tier!!!!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Barbara as a dog sitter! Barbara stands out after trying nearly a dozen different sitters and kennels for my pups. Not only did she provide exceptional care and attention, but she also went above and beyond by washing not only my dogs but also their beds! This thoughtful touch shows how much she genuinely cares. My dogs came home happy and healthy, and it was evident they had a wonderful time with Barbara. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Barbara, for treating my fur babies like your own!”
“What a wonderful experience! I had a last minute cancellation and this wonderful lady was able to take my lab :). She sent me photos and videos everyday and even told me how his bowels were and gave me tips on his food !! If I could rate it would be 10000/10.”
About: For over 7 years, I’ve provided dedicated care for dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family. Pet parents trust me to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. This will be a safe space for them. I work full-time Mon-Fri. However, Fri-Sun I have more than enough time to provide proper care and lots of attention to your furry friends. They're in good hands. During certain months there will be availability during weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced backyard and one friendly cat, Kurin, for companionship. If needed, I can easily crate your pup. I always supervise playtime, ensure pets have fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I would like them to roam freely around the house unless specified otherwise. The goal is to try and recreate their normal routine, so they feel at home.
“Our dog had a great time with Alondra. She sent pics and videos every day and our fur baby definitely enjoyed himself. He was all puckered out by the time we picked him up. We will definitely reach out to Alondra in the future.”
“Adriana was so welcoming, gentle & nice. She took great care of our big boy and her family was also very welcoming of our pup. Don’t hesitate to book with her! You will truly feel like your dog is part of her family. Thank you!!”
“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”
“I left my fur baby with Amorita and I could not have asked for a better sitter. She sent me pictures daily and made sure my mind was at ease. I definitely recommend her. Thank you again 😊”
“Melissa was absolutely great with our Ariel. Ariel had the best time. Melissa sent pictures and updates. Ariel was happy while being there. Definitely will be using Melissa again”
About: The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work and I would be happy with it but I’m currently doing college online so that helps with getting a part time job I’m excited to join because this will be my firs Job I make sure the dog are. The pet is good and it has everything it needs, and I ensure the owners as well. Update them.
“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.👍🏼🙂”
“Glenda pet sitted for our very active lab puppy at her home. It was very reassuring to know he was watched closely and taken good care of while we were away for a few days. We will definitely use her again!”
“Stephanie was very sweet and accepted Margot warmly. Her fur baby Maverick was also very kind and welcoming to Margot. I heard they played the whole time we were gone. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Caryna was so sweet and communicative about Honey's care. Honey boarded with her for one night and everything went smoothly. Honey tends to be anxious in new places, but Caryna did such a great job, I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of homes & pets since I was 11 years old. I always make sure there is a safe environment and room for a pet to be themselves. I look forward to caring for your sweet animals!:) I currently work part time and am home quite a bit so I have ample time to spend with your dog. I also have a massive backyard with grass area, plants, and a pool if they like swimming. My priority is to make sure that your pet feels comfortable around me regardless of the environment. I believe that once the pet feels safe with its caretaker, then the environment doesn’t play a huge role.
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 is amazing! Every time she watches my pet she updates me about him and updates me with photos of him as well! He is extremely comfortable with her and I can tell he’s having a good time with her! I’ll never use anyone else outside of my family to watch my dog, she’s the best! I highly recommend leaving your pet with her, whether it’s for the day or for over night stays she doesn’t disappoint! You won’t regret your booking with her.
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!

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 Lonsmith 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 Lonsmith.
<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 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 , 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.
