“One of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She took care of my dog in her home like he was part of their family. Sent so many great pictures and updates which put me at ease during my dog’s first stay with Christany and her family. Quick responses. Rebooked already for another stay! We appreciate this warm and loving home!”

“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Jenna was so great to work with! My normal sitter had to cancel last minute before a week long trip and I was so nervous trying to find someone new, especially over 4th of July. Jenna was sweet and communication was quick and easy. She sent me photos every day and gave my little guy lots of love. She even administered ear drops for an ear infection my dog had just been diagnosed with. Everything was wonderful and absolutely would recommend her.”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“Victoria was great! She sent me updates, was very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog needed some social time and to see how she did on an overnight visit with other dogs. She said my dog was good, played well with the other dogs and she would watch her again. That’s a huge relief because not everyone will watch Belgian Malinios’, so I was grateful. I would highly recommend Victoria and will be returning in the future. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of Sasha.”
“Gregory was absolutely amazing with my dog. He kept me well informed of how my dog was doing throughout the visit and provided me photos that reassured me that my dog was happy and having a great time. Gregory was also very mindful of my dogs special needs and always took those into consideration while he was watching him. I will definitely be boarding my pup with him again. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I’m grateful to have found such an amazing and caring Dog Sitter.”

Zair took great care of our big girl while we were gone on a long weekend trip. She sent tons of pictures of our Great Dane relaxing on a bed or couch (just what Danes love to do). Everything from the meet & greet to pick up at the end of the stay was smooth and seamless.
Giovanni was perfect for my dog Lilac! He made sure she was comfortable and gave her lots of love. I appreciated the updates and photos I received. He administered medication with ease and was attentive to Lilac’s needs. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants their dog to be well cared for during their time away.
Jenna was great! I had my senior dog stay with her and because she is older there are many requirements and directions for her proper care. Jenna was attentive to learning, asked appropriate questions and provided a very safe and comfortable home for my fur baby. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again myself in the future. Thanks Jenna🐶😊
So thankful to have found this couple to take care of my sweet Blu. They were flexible with meeting up beforehand for a meet and greet, and then worked with my schedule to book a trial run before I take a long vacation. Very patient and attentive with all my questions and concerns, sent pictures and updates lol. When I came back to get Blu, she was happy as a clam. They made me feel confident with booking them for my two week vacation.

Antoinette took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. This was the first time I have left my dog with someone other than family. I received a video of them taking Lulu for a walk and pictures of her in the home. I will definitely request Antoinette in the future.
This was our first time using Liv and she was so great with our 2 pups! We had a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable. During their stay she followed our instructions very thoroughly and gave us plenty of updates with pictures. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your pets!
Julane and her family are so sweet! I can tell my doggy had an amazing time at her stay. My dog is so energetic, so to see her fall asleep as soon as she got home, shows me that Julane and her family gave Mia so much love and attention. Definitely rebooking her when I go on my next trip!

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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands.
<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 North Highlands 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.
