“Kelsey was amazing with our dog- she communicated wonderfully, sent pictures and updates, and our dog came home happy and exhausted from all the fun she had. We’ll definitely book with Kelsey in the future.”
“Jacqueline is the best. She’s so loving and caring with my dog.. My dog had the best time. She got to go on walks and play so much. I also got videos with my dog playing. It was great. I am a repeat customer for sure.”
“Gracie was one of Grant's many "foster" dogs that we adopted in December 2020 from the Foothill Dog Rescue organization in Shingle Springs. Grant told us he enjoys it when he has the change to care for dogs he had previously fostered. This was Gracie's fourth stay with Grant and we can tell she picks up the familiar "out in the country" scent as soon as we turn onto the main road on the way to Grant's house. From the photos of videos that he sent during her stay, we could tell she enjoyed getting to romp with other dogs, run long distances outside and taking naps and relaxing. Grant's price is extremely reasonable given the value of providing a "woodland" area for the dogs to enjoy, instead of just a backyard in the city! We always know Grant will treat Gracie just like we do, a part of the family. Thanks, Grant and we're already booked with you again for next month and know Gracie looks forward to her next visit to Placer Pack Life!”
“This was my very first time using the Rover app, and Nicole completely exceeded my expectations! I was super nervous to leave my dog, but Nicole was so professional, warm, and attentive. The daily updates, photos & videos showed my dog was happy, fed, and perfectly cared for. If you want absolute peace of mind while you travel, hire her! 🫱🏼🫲🏽😊 I’ll definitely be bringing Milo back & I’m glad the boys got along so well 🥰!!”
“Lemieux had the best time with Erin and her family. He and their dog Melvin became the best of friends. Having him stay the night for multiple days with her dogs gave Lemieux the confidence booster he really needed as a young puppy. He was shy around other dogs but after staying with Erin he is so happy and excited to meet other dogs. At the end of everyday we received an update on how things were going and pictures of Lemieux which really eased my anxiety since this was the first time we were leaving him. I would rebook Erin for our next trip. Thank you so much Erin!”
“Kazue is everything you can ever ask for in a dog sitter. Very quick communication. Sends photos of my dog every morning, midday, and evening. She even folded my dog’s blanket and washed his bowls prior to me picking up my dog. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”
“Another fabulous stay for Lulah with Susan and Irv! Susan went out of her way to get Lulah to eat, as she has sometimes gone on a hunger strike when I lave her 💜 Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you again soon 💜”
“Marya sent pictures often showing both dogs having a good time and playing. Our daughter picked them up and said the dogs were happy and taking a walk. Thanks Marya for taking great care of the pups. They will see you in a few days.”
“Melissa was soo sweet and accommodating. She was kind enough to extend Eevee’s Rover stay when something came up for me and I had to stay another night out of town. She continually sent me updates and photos/videos of Eevee and treated her so sweetly! I could tell Eevee really enjoyed her company. Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her again sometime! :)”
“Alesya was great with my little guy and truly made us both so comfortable with his first boarding experience! She kept me informed along the way and it’s very clear she truly cares about the pups she watches!”
“Allie and her family were wonderful! I really appreciated the daily photos of Stella while we were gone. The communication was great. You can tell they love the doggos they care for, which makes it easier to leave your dog behind.”
“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”
“First overnight for our puppy with Ruby and her family! As with the last time Cusco spent time at Ruby’s home, he got so much love, attention, and playtime. I received many photos and videos while we were away, always making us feel comfortable and giving updates! I know Cusco is already looking forward to going back :) thank you, Ruby!”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”

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.
94% of sitters in Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus 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 Nicolaus.
<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 Nicolaus 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.
