“JJ had a great stay with Julie! Julie took great care of our dog and even discovered a possible medical issue we are looking into. We will definitely book again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! They took amazing care of our two dogs and treated them like their own. We really appreciated all the frequent updates—photos, messages, and check-ins that kept us totally at ease. It was clear how sweet and loving they were with our pups. We came home to two very happy dogs! Highly recommend and would absolutely book with them again.”
“Shanna was wonderful!!! Highly recommend her. Excellent communication. Sent me updates and pictures about my dogs. Thank you for taking such good care of Milo and Daisy.”
About: I am currently a biology major in veterinary school. My love for animals began as a child with my mom being a crazy cat lady and with the start of FFA in high school. I have now decided to carry my love of animals into my young g adult life. I am in college and work part time as a nanny for a divorced dad along with 2 other families that use me about 1-2 times a week only for a-couple hours. The dad I work for has his kids every other week so during the off week my schedule is very open. When he has his kids I work for him for 2-3 days out of the week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment for every pet. My home has a spacious backyard for outdoor play, and I have two cats, a leopard gecko, and a tropical fish tank. I’ll follow your pet’s routines and care instructions closely, and I can keep pets separated as needed to help everyone feel secure.
“Esmeralda was very attentive to our girl and always kept us updated on her care. We felt very comfortable and at ease during her time with our precious baby. I highly recommend her.”
“Haley, her kiddos and her doggies were wonderful to Chewie. Can’t wait to continue to have Chewie stay with her from now on when I work long hours. Chewie was happy and comfortable at her house, made me so happy!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Absolutely the best experience leaving my pup to Glee, especially on 4th of July weekend. She kept me updated daily and sent me cute photos and videos of my pup. Also elevated my experience by providing the wellness of my pup; emotionally, spirit, and appetite. Prior to drop off, she did not hesitate to answer any of my questions considering this was my first time. I loved that she’s an experienced dog owner and she knows exactly what to do in any situations. I enjoyed that her pup integrated him self during the stay and that she also included my pup on her regular errands as any dog parent should.”
“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”
“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: 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 had dogs and cats for a long time but now I have an empty nest and would love to have company on my week off. I have a week off and would love to have your fur baby for company. I’m not available all the time just when I’m on vacation. I have a small fenced yard with fake grass approximately 10’ deep and 40’ wide. The one level/ground floor apartment has tile floors and is in a safe 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.
95% of sitters in McFarland 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 McFarland 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 McFarland.
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.
You and your McFarland 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.
