“Ellen was professional from start to finish, making us feel our pup was safe and taken care of while we were away, including text and photo updates. Our doggo is a bit shy and anxious, and Ellen knew just how to connect with him and get to know his personality. It was our first time leaving our pup for a night away from home and we/our pup couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.”

“Raffie had a wonderful stay with Adriana and her family. This was her second time there and I can’t imagine anyone taking better care of her while we are away. Adriana was very accommodating and communication was excellent. We received daily pictures and updates and saw how much fun Raffie was having. Thanks again!!”

“11/10 recommend Sara. She goes above and beyond- tons of photos, fun beach adventures, and I could tell my dog was super happy while we were away. She’s flexible and a great communicator. So glad we found Sara!!”

“Derek and solip were amazing! They helped me when I was in a bind visiting SF and a previously booked sitter canceled. Bruno had lots of fun with their dog and I loved getting updates. Hope to meet them again when Bruno and I visit the west coast!”

“Matt and Amanda were absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were kind, attentive and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. My dog came home happy and relaxed - I could tell that she was really well cared for. I'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

“Alex was such a warm, caring & communicative sitter for my Ringo. After a quick meet and greet before his boarding stay, I had no doubt Ringo was going to be so happy with her, as well as her gorgeous little Chowder. She sent me photo updates each day, took Ringo out on hiking adventures and lots of love and care. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend!”

“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”

“Emily was wonderful! We arranged a meeting in advance to give my dog a chance to see the space and place. Then Emily was flexible with timing as we firmed up plans. She took great care of Aubrey and her dog Gigi was a super pal for Aubrey.”

“Our pup Ranger had a great stay with Mila! He had a blast going on adventures and hanging out with Mila in her yard. We felt like he was in great hands while we were away and will definitely ask Mila to watch Ranger again when we head out of town. Thanks Mila!”
“Our bulldog Roxy stayed with Isabel for 2 nights and spent the days with a fabulous crew of new dog friends - walking, playing and exploring. We won’t hesitate to go to Isabel again for dog sitting or walking!”

“Kara and Val were a godsend when we needed a last minute sitter for our pup. Kara was prompt and responsive in setting up a meet & greet where she got to talk with us and get to know Petunia a little bit. We were nervous as it was our first time leaving her, but she warmed up to Kara, Val and their adorable daughter Mae quite quickly! Kara was great about sending updates and photos and made us feel secure, at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Cannot recommend them enough 🐶😁”

“Anurag and his family took great care of Zorro! They were very attuned to his needs and his love for catching his ball. He send pics and videos which made me happy. I highly recommend Anurag and his family!”

“Rosa and Kevin were great with Lily and we would highly recommend them. They were also very accommodating when we were delayed a bit for the pick-up. We would definitely book another stay with them!”

“Kevin and Arushi were great! We recently had our wedding in the area and wanted to have our dog nearby because he was our ring bearer. It was a very big day! Kevin and Arushi were very flexible, responsive, and coordinated with us and our dog handler. It was seamless and everything turned out perfect. Waldo came home a happy camper. Thank you both so much!”


“Another wonderful stay for my dog :) He's so taken care of and relaxed every time he's with Matthew and Bryant. They go on great walks and I get lovely pictures.”

“Melissa was wonderful. Our Labrador came home tired and happy after spending three days with her. Her communication both before our weekend away and while we were gone was excellent! We received photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. We will definitely use Melissa again when we have the need.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manzanita
I am a first time user of Rover and it was such a great experience! Ellen was so great with our 4.5 month old puppy. We did a meet up before our trip so we could meet. She has the perfect set up for dogs at her home. She was caring for a couple other dogs, including a puppy, so it was great socialization for ours. Ellen's temperament is sweet and caring - there is no doubt she is a dog lover! I am so happy to have found her. We will definitely use her again!

We had such a great experience with Alisa! She was very communicative and took wonderful care of Maverick. Her whole family welcomed him in and gave him lots of love and attention. We felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Sarah was great with my pup, who is usually pretty high maintenance and has a lot of anxiety when I leave. Sarah sent a lot of photos and updates and I was glad to see her doing well and socializing with some other small dogs too! My dog up was also super calm when I picked her up.

Caroline did a phenomenal job taking care of our little guy. She was able to move her schedule around to accommodate a meet and greet before we left town, and we instantly knew that Odie would be in good hands. We got plenty of updates and photos along the way. Would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top notch sitter.

Halee took such loving care of our Frenchie Avocado! She was very communicative the whole time, sending updates and photos which we loved. Location is very convenient, and her space is great for dogs; also close to several places to run around and socialize. Highly recommended!

Frankie had a wonderful time with Morgan and Svet and was very well taken care of! I could tell when I picked her up how comfortable she was in their house and with their family! Communication with Morgan was great and I loved all the pics and updates she sent over. Thanks for taking such good care of Frankie

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 Manzanita 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 Manzanita.
<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 Manzanita 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.
