“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“Melissa was amazing with my australian shepherd Levi! She was super flexible about scheduling, communicative during his stay, shared lots of photos and videos, and has a lovely dog-friendly set up. I felt reassured knowing Levi was in good hands while we were away and he came back from his stay a happy pup! We will definitely be using Melissa again!”
“Nayla has been great with our pup. I always get great pictures and reports on how he’s doing. They go for lots of walks and he comes home happy! She’s always flexible when she can be and has been great to work with. Nayla will definitely stay on our short list of people to trust our dog with!”
“Haley was the absolute best with watching over my Bandit! She was so caring and attentive towards him and I loved all the picture updates! She really put my anxiety at ease knowing Bandit was being well taken care of! Will definitely have her take care of Bandit again!😊”
“Amazing sitter! Tasha was so welcoming and thought of every detail when taking care of our dog. He had the biggest smile and really loved playing with her other dogs . Would rebook again!”
“Angela was wonderful with Bear! He stayed with her and I could tell right away he was comfortable and happy. She sent me updates and pictures the whole time which put my mind at ease. She followed all his routine perfectly and treated him like her own. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog. I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely book again!”
“Sam is so kind and takes Cassie on great adventures! We once ran into Sam at Point Isabel and Cassie tried to ditch me (her owner) to go on a walk with Sam instead. This speaks to how much Cassie likes Sam!”
About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.
“Julia was great, able to watch our pup overnight after a last minute booking. She was great with our separation anxiety dog, took plenty of walks and potty breaks, and kept us updated through the stay. Will definitely book with Julia again when we have future needs!”
“Gissell is amazing! She takes great care to focus on what our dog’s routine is at home so that his routine stays pretty similar! I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s definitely out go-to sitter :)”

One happy puppy was ready to go when we got there.. well almost, he was holding back on leaving he had such a great time. Thank you Tina and Ci namon”
About: Hi there! I’m Barr, a wife and mother with a lifelong love for animals. We have a sweet 15-year-old Jack Russell named Indie, and I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and our compassion for them is one of the reasons we chose a vegan lifestyle. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and well-being. As a mom, I’m now looking to earn a little extra income while doing something that truly matters to me—spending time with and caring for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to start doing this and would be perfect for any spontaneous short or long trips! I have a spacious backyard, but unfortunately, it’s not fenced. To keep our dog, Indie, who is incredibly friendly with all animals, safe, I usually take them for three walks each day. We shower her with cuddles and treats from my husband, our baby girl and I each and every day ☺️
“Julia and her family are the best, they are very loving and caring and I will for sure use them again to watch Charlie. Our dog is very insecure and sensitive and he seemed very comfortable almost immediately. Thank you for taking such good care.”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Michele as a sitter for my pup, Brady! They were awesome with immediate communication, super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided me with multiple updates throughout the day with videos and pictures! Michele went above and beyond taking my dog to the dog park AND a hike over the weekend! Highly recommend!”
“A great experience for me and my dog. Alexis took great care of Hana and provided me with updates. I was very nervous trying to find a place for her. She gets overwhelmed when she's around a lot of dogs and enjoys her quiet/napping time a great deal. She even had access to her own room where she could relax undisturbed. Highly recommended.”
“Ana was incredible with my dog, Nala. From the beginning, she was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. She sent regular updates, photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Nala came home happy and well cared for. I can’t recommend her highly enough. All the best for Ana!”
About: As an active foster mom for a local rescue, I frequently welcome dogs of different backgrounds, energy levels, and temperaments into my home. This has made me highly adaptable and skilled at reading dog body language, which helps anxious or transitioning pets feel safe and secure quickly.I am currently raising a puppy myself, so I am deeply familiar with the consistency, routine, and positive reinforcement required for training young dogs.I am highly experienced in pet hygiene and am currently setting up a professional-grade dog bathing and nail-trimming station at my home. I am very comfortable handling bath time, nail maintenance, and general grooming needs if your pet requires a little extra pampering.With years of professional experience as a dog groomer assistant, kennel technician, a birth and postpartum doula and early childhood education, my entire career is built on empathy, patience, and structured, compassionate care. I bring that exact same calm, nurturing energy to the pets I watch, ensuring they feel emotionally supported and understood while you are away. Active Mornings: My days start early, making sure my personal dogs, foster dogs, and cats, are fed, happy, and let out. I love spending time outdoors and going on hikes, which means your active dogs will have a built-in partner for morning walks and burning off energy. Daytime Availability: With two of my three. children heading back to school this August, my weekdays are opening up to provide plenty of daytime hours for dog walking, drop-in visits, or giving a guest pet focused attention. Consistent Routines: Raising a puppy and fostering rescue dogs requires a highly consistent daily rhythm. Guest pets seamlessly integrate into this structured environment, which includes regular potty breaks, dedicated playtime, enrichment /stimulated and scheduled rest periods. Flexible & Home-Based: Between my home projects and professional caregiving work, I spend a significant amount of my time at home. This allows me to keep a close eye on the pets in my care, easily manage specialized feeding or medication schedules, and provide the frequent potty breaks that puppies or senior dogs might need. Whether it is a midday walk, an afternoon hike, or structured downtime, my lifestyle is already perfectly tailored to keeping animals active, engaged, and well-cared for throughout the week. My home is fully equipped to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happily separated when they need a break. My setup includes: Secure Yard: A large, fully secured backyard. Outdoor Kennels: An 8x8 covered kennel, a 5x5 covered kennel, and a 6x4 half-covered dog run (treated safely to keep pests away). Indoor Options: A garage kennel system and multiple crates in various sizes. Safe Socialization: This versatile setup allows for safe, slow introductions, secure feeding times, and guaranteed quiet downtime away from other pets or my kids. Care in Your Home When caring for pets in your space, I strictly adhere to your established routines. I am highly detail-oriented about double-checking gates and locks, ensuring your pet is always secure, and leaving your home exactly as I found it.

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.
98% of sitters in Norden 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 Norden 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 Norden.
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 Norden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Norden 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.
