“Trina communicated promptly and gave updates of my dog’s stay with her. Perla loved playing with the resident dogs and was nice and worn out when she came home. I would use her again.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David”
“Edith took great care of Benny. Her and her family are truly dog lovers and had the perfect backyard for Benny to roam around in. She sent daily photos of him in the yard and going to parks and trips. Extremely fairly priced as well. Would use again.”
“My fur-child did well staying overnight with Lety. It had been about 6 months since he needed boarding again. My sweet boy was taken care with much love and care as always. My mind is always at ease knowing Niko is with Lety.”
“I found Diane last minute on Rover, when my dog sitter was unable to care for Jones for a few days. Diane was very organized, even with a household full of dogs, they all seemed happy and well cared for. She and her children obviously love dogs! My Jones per the pictures she sent, made himself at home and seemed very relaxed. That means a lot to me. Nothing worse than trying to vacation and being stressed about your doggy. I will have Diane watch Jones again. He came home super relaxed from his mini vacay! Thanks Diane!”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
“Great communication. Our dogs did really well with them. One of our dogs unexpectedly hurt his back a few days before our boarding. We were happy to find his condition actually improved after boarding with them. We’re relieved they seemed well taken care of. Will definitely use Rachel and Jason again.”
“My pup had a great time at this doggie resort- the large backyard, shade and Zuko made it a wonderful place for my nervous girl. Seeing how Marilee interacted with Monina gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely rebook whenever I need to travel.”
“Jared is the absolute best!!!! Always, always! Our dog absolutely loves staying with him. It’s such a relief to have such a trusted person watching out for our little one.”
“Can’t thank Leslee enough for taking great care of Misty and beyond! I was apprehensive leaving Misty with someone I didn’t know personally. It was the first time I tried finding dog care on Rover and very grateful I found Leslee. I was reassured by constant communication, video calls and texts, and I knew Misty was happy and safe. I’ve booked another stay and would do it again. Thank you, Leslee!”
“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”
“This is my second time leaving my girl with Nadya and her family. My dog got excited when we got close to their home. They treat her like family and I feel so comfortable leaving her with them. So grateful to have found them”
“Johnna took care of Walt again for a longer stay and she shared such amazing updates, pictures, and videos especially of Walt socializing! I can tell Walt had such a great time. Thanks so much again!”
“This was my first time boarding my dogs and did I pick a winner! I felt it the moment I met her and so did my dogs. They were so happy with her that one of my dogs didn’t want to leave her arms when I picked him up. Thank you Sohui for being that person that I can trust and know they are in good hands. I appreciate you so much.”
“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”
“Tracy was amazing with Holly, and Holly came back home so happy after her visit there. Tracy gave Holly her meds as needed, lots of attention and pets. I would definitely leave Holly with her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Highlands
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!
Nicole was amazing! She took our dog, Remy, on very short notice over the busy Fourth of July weekend and truly went above and beyond. She was reliable, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease during his stay. . Remy was well cared for, and we could tell he had a great stay. We are so grateful for her flexibility and kindness, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
My first time using Rover. Mariia was timely, thoughtful, and consistent. She was very kind and hands on in meeting Oliver, it made us feel very welcome and comfortable at drop off. She sent photographs and videos everyday. This was my dogs first trip away and it was 11 nights. I was able to focus on my time away knowing he was well taken care of. I would use her services again and recommend to others. Thank you!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Jenny took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She treated him like part of her family and made sure he felt right at home. I really appreciated the daily photo updates and messages—it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed he was each day. Her home is clean, welcoming, and clearly set up with pets’ comfort in mind. I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with Jerome. She took amazing care of our boys and it really showed. They came home happy and worn out from all the fun. We also really appreciated the daily check-ins with messages and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for the weekend.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of North Highlands sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which North Highlands landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
