“Sandra and Jose were great with Louie who seemed to have adjusted very quickly to them. They constantly sent photos of Louie and updated me daily. They also have a great space in their backyard for the dogs to play in which I thought was great. I highly recommend Sandra and Jose!”
“I am so pleased with the care given to our baby. She was so spoiled being with Tara. We worried leaving her but she looked way more relaxed than leaving her in the pet hotel we usually send her to. She had Tara’s full attention and used that to her advantage to get treats and pets. We could use more pictures and updates but that’s because we are obsessed with our girl.”
“Lester took great care of my dog, Remy. Lester walked Remy multiple times a day and sent me regular updates, videos, and pics to let me know how Remy was settling in. Remy has a bunch of little quirks, and Lester seemed to be able to adapt to all of them. I’d definitely use Lester as a sitter again!”
“Christine was fantastic with “Bo.” She kept us updated throughout the evening with pictures and stories while we were gone. Bo was very comfortable with Christine. She was genuinely sweet with him and made him feel comfortable right away. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs a caring person to take care of their four legged family members.”
“Zhengting and her husband are amazing caretakers. We had excellent communication during my pup’s entire stay with constant updates. Lucy got lots of walks and playtime. Would definitely recommend and book with Zhengting again!”
“Allison and Gordon are our go to sitters! Omar and Audrey once again had a great time and came home happy and tired out. Even with a few days of rain and Omar's dislike of wet grass on his feet, they clearly got lots of attention and exercise. I cannot recommend them enough!”
“Mimi and Wilson took amazing care of our Kami! They sent daily updates with cute photos and shared the sweetest little stories about her day and the fun adventures they took her on. They were super responsive throughout our trip. When Kami wasn't eating well, they went the extra mile by hand-feeding her and made sure she was never left alone. The care and attention they showed was truly amazing; you could tell they truly enjoyed spending time with her, and Kami obviously loved being with them too! Their dedication gave us total peace of mind during our vacation. I couldn't ask for better, more caring sitters and would book with them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Mario was fantastic! He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and kept me posted with pics and texts throughout my week long trip. This was my first time leaving Tilly for a trip and I couldn't have been luckier in finding such a great trainer and dog lover for her to stay with. ”
“Micaela is the best. She just had my little sweetheart for 6 days and was amazing. She updated me and sent pictures that made me feel so comfortable while I was traveling. I will definitely be calling her again and again! Thank you so much for going above and beyond and helping me out Micaela!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”
“Communicative and I really enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup during her stay! Stella I'm sure enjoyed all the play time and walks~ Thank you! Would love for her to stay again!”
“Howard and Linda took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. Howard was very thorough and paid attention to all the small details with care. We were happy to receive pictures and updates from their park outings and couch time. Their dog Truman is a sweetheart too. If you are looking for two very friendly and responsible people to look after your pup, they are it!”
“I think this was the 4th time Tilly has stayed with Diana and Michael. They are so friendly and responsive, and I always trust Tilly is getting taken great care of! I appreciate their photos and updates. Would absolutely keep working with them.”
“Vanda was absolutely fabulous! Choppa was very happy being there, as Vanda sent me many photos and a couple videos during his stay. Her loving demeanor and kindness towards Choppa shone through and I would love for her to keep my pup anytime.”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle and even had a bed, crate and bowls for him. He had so much fun playing with their dog and they sent pictures and videos to update us all day. Thank you for taking fantastic care of him last minute!”
“Marley had such a fun stay, and we felt completely at ease leaving him with Jeffrey and Victor! Jeffrey’s updates and photos were so reassuring. It was clear Marley was having a little vacation of his own and loved spending time with their pup, Barney. He was obviously in very capable, caring hands—just as he would be with us. We already have a second stay booked and look forward to many more!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montara
Ellen took great care of our dog, Abby! She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates every day, which we really appreciated. Abby needs medication twice a day, and Ellen did a great job staying on top of that as well. We felt very comfortable knowing Abby was in good hands while we were away. Very happy with our experience and looking forward to Abby’s next stay with Ellen!
We are so grateful to Stephen and his family for taking such good care of our fur-baby while we were away. Our happy and exuberant 5-year old pup was recovering from surgery, and he needed a combination of loving care (he loves people!) and protection from his own enthusiasm so he could heal after his operation. Stephen and his family provided both, plus sending pictures showing our doggie relaxing with his temporary "adopted" family. We're delighted that our dog has found new friends, and we hope that Stephen and his family will be available the next time we have to travel.
Oaklea fell in love with Kayla at first sight! Could not have asked for a better sitter. Lots of photos throughout her stay, clear quick communication, and my baby girl was genuinely sad to leave her when I picked her up. Looking forward to booking with Kayla again soon!
I’m very satisfied with Cindy. Her space is clean and spacious. We brought our own crate and blanket but she also prepared one set for us. She took pictures and videos during the day so it was easier for us to check Poppy’s (our dog) condition. Our dog bonded with her family very quickly. Cindy baked some fresh snacks for Poppy. She even packed some Poppy’s favorite food for us to take home. If you are looking for a sitter who truly loves dog, Cindy is your No. 1 choice.
Better than great, the care my dog received with Julian was EXCEPTIONAL! Above & beyond the typical boarding experience, my dog Leroy wasn’t simply a guest in Julian’s home, he was PART OF THE FAMILY! I received plenty of photos and videos showing Leroy running, wrestling & playing tug with their super-cute sheepdog, Gaitana. Julian also sent photos of Leroy cuddled-up in bed, tangled-up with the family & their dogs. Those photos erased every morsel of anxiety that accompanied leaving my fur baby in the care of a relative stranger. And then, a final clincher…. When I picked-up Leroy from his 6-night stay, Julian said “My wife is going to be so disappointed! She was hoping she’d get home in time to say goodbye to Leroy.” How sweet is that?!?!?

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% of sitters in Montara 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 Montara 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 Montara.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montara. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Montara 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
