“Wonderful wonderful experience! Great communication. I would definitely recommend this family to take care of your pets when you’re away. Both my girls are two totally different personalities and I feel like they had an absolute wonderful time. I will absolutely have you guys watch the girls again in the future! Thank you for everything.”
“Booked Alex when we were in a bind for a sitter last minute. She was great and took amazing care of our senior pup, Topher. The updates and pictures throughout the stay helped keep our minds at ease (Topher can be a handful sometimes). Would definitely book again and recommend her for your pet's boarding needs! :)”
“First time users on the Rover app, we were nervous to leave our two doggies, Max and Benito, with strangers for 3 days. Patty and her husband definitely put us at ease from the beginning, they are so welcoming along with their pets. They sent us pictures and updates during their stay, pampered and cared for them as if they were their own, and you could definitely tell Max and Benito loved their home. Max and Benito will definitely love coming back for another sleepover. Thank you both for taking such great care of our furbabies!”
About: I have cared for dogs for many years. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. It's a large part of my daily routine. I have three dogs, all different breeds, which means I take care of them differently because of their different personalities. I have a part-time job; however I work a maximum of 6 hours and I am free before and after work. Right now, I don't offer in-home care at my residence; however, when caring for a client's pet, their safety is my priority. I make sure fences and doors are secure and pay close attention to any illnesses or special needs.
“Gail was a pleasure to work with! She is just a sweetheart and makes you feel totally comfortable to leave your loved one with her. She sent us pictures throughout the whole stay with her and updated us on how our mini poodle is feeling the entire time. She was easy to communicate with as well when booking and coordinating the drop off and pick up. Would totally recommend anyone to use her.”
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”
“Kelly took care of my sweet boy for 3 days while I was away on a trip. She is very nice and easy to talk to, keeps you fully updated with pictures and videos of your fur baby. My dog does have some nerves in new places, but her warmed right up to her and her home! I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone who needs this service and would use her again myself.”
“Did fabulous watching our dog Twilight made sure Twilight was well taken care of also made sure to give updates with pictures of our dog it was a good environment for Twilight and Twilight was comfortable for the days that he was being watched”
“Lolita was so great. Not only was she very good with my frenchies, but she sent pictures & videos daily. She was always available when I needed to ask any questions. I would definitely book her again. I was very impressed and touched also by how talented she is. She took the time to draw a picture of my babies. I love it so much. My babies took to her right away. Thank you Lolita 💙🩷💙Spencer Elly & Coop”
“My 1st time using the Rover app. I wanted someone close by and after looking at others I went with Manuel G. He kept me informed of my dogs progress and texted pictures. Manuel followed my feeding schedule each day she was there. My dog is very laid back and chills on the floor or couch. This past 4th of July he kept my dog calm when she would get scared of the fireworks around the neighborhood. When I picked up my dog she acted the same way as if she were home. I recommend Manuel G to watch your pets. I will rebook with him again when I go on another trip because I know my dog will be well taken care of.”
“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.
About: ( I do ask each owner to bring their crates for each pet, for their safety ) I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as a teenager, decided to try to get back into it since I’m free most of my day. I can play feed and walk them for their daily activities. Doesn’t matter what age I’ll keep them entertained:) I’m currently a free all day. Have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Whether it’s walking, feeding, &playing with them. They have my attention. ** Starting 05FEB24 I won’t be able to take in medium sized dogs for a while due to some upcoming medical follow ups. Once I’m able to get back to it I will update my profile=} ** I have a fenced yard big enough to keep them running. One male small dog that’s neutered and crate trained. Very friendly once he meets and gets close to others. And the most friendliest yet shy cat. I do ask for crates ! So please bring a crate for your pet ! It’s for their safety as well as all other pets in my care !

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 Matchin 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 Matchin.
<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 Matchin 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.
