“Danielle and her family were kind and loving to Aspen. This was the first time we have left her with someone else and Danielle made us feel so comfortable! We highly recommend her!”
“Jacqueline and her family took such great care of our puppy Willow. She was given tons of attention and love while in their care. Jacqueline sent frequent updates and pictures and communicated promptly throughout the stay. I would 1000% recommend her and would love to use her again?”
“Jen and Anthony took fantastic care of my dog. They sent pictures that helped assure me that he was doing just fine. I appreciate that they read his profile that described he needed time to warm up to strangers and they gave him space and time to adjust. Totally professional and everything I wanted to find in my new pet sitters! So happy I found them ❤️”
“Delila did a great job watching our dog! She allowed us to come over to see their place and meet them before we made a decision. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend using Delila to watch your pups.”
About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom, lifelong animal lover, and proud pet mom to 2 dogs of my own. 🐶🐶 I’ve been caring for pets for 20+ years, helping family and friends with their furry family members. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they’re family! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I absolutely adore animals so our home is full of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! ❤️ We’re an animal-loving family and would be thrilled to welcome your pets into our lives. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their routine and personality. I’m also comfortable giving your pet the patience and space they need if they’re shy or take a little time to warm up. Why choose me? 🐾 20+ years of pet-care experience 🐾 Proud owner of 2 dogs 🐾 Stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule 🐾 Loving, attentive, and dependable 🐾 Your pet gets lots of attention and companionship 🐾 A family that genuinely loves animals I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐾❤️ Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I am home throughout the majority of the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Our family loves having animals around, and pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of love while keeping your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. 🐾 A Safe, Loving Home Away From Home My home is set up to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and supervised outdoor time. We also have a dog door that allows dogs who are comfortable using one to go outside when they need a potty break or some time in the yard. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they receive personalized care while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own home. During a visit, I can provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, litter box care, and lots of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of our family and want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. ❤️🐾
About: Hi! We’re a dog-loving family with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. We’ve raised dogs of our own, fostered and helped rescue dogs, and now provide pet sitting and boarding for local families. We have experience with senior dogs, energetic pups, larger breeds, shy or anxious dogs, medications, and pets with specific routines or needs. What makes our care different is that pet sitting truly is a family effort. Your pup isn’t simply dropped off with a sitter—they become part of our household while they’re here. We also only board one family’s pets at a time, allowing us to give them plenty of individual attention, affection, supervision, and a more comfortable home-away-from-home experience. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. Since there are several of us helping, there is typically someone home with the pups throughout the day, giving them lots of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and supervision. We work together to make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special instructions are followed as closely as possible. Having multiple family members involved also gives us flexibility and allows your fur babies to receive consistent care rather than spending long stretches of time alone. We want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable leaving their fur babies with our family. Before a stay, we learn as much as possible about each pup’s personality, feeding schedule, potty routine, medications, sleeping preferences, behavior around other dogs, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. We have two friendly small Goldendoodles of our own, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and only board one client families pups at a time, so our home never feels like a crowded boarding facility. We offer meet-and-greets beforehand and require pets staying with us to be up to date on vaccinations. We can also accommodate crate-trained dogs and follow each family’s preferred routine as closely as possible. Everyone in our family understands that every dog is different, so we adjust our care to each pup’s individual needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, supervised home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and outdoor time so your pets can feel like part of our family until you come home. 🐾🤍
“Finding a trustworthy petsitter can be the most challenging part of planning a vacation. If you are lucky enough to book Arwen and her husband, Mike, you can rest assured that you made the right choice! Their farm is the perfect setting to leave your furry family members. They will be showered with love, attention, and care. There is so much for them to explore and take in that they will come back exhausted. Arwen kept me informed with pictures and didn't hesitate to reach out with a question regarding one of my dogs. I had the utmost of confidence leaving my dogs with them and without a doubt recommend them to my friends, family and the Rover.com community.”
About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️

Danielle and her family took amazing care of our sweet Cassie! I’m so picky about who I leave my dog with, and I am beyond pleased with Cassie’s stay. I can tell she had so much fun with her and her family, including their dogs! She acted as if she didn’t want to leave, which was a great sign and comforting to me! I would 100% book her again, and I highly recommend her as well!

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 Mello 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 Mello.
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 Mello 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.
