“So happy we found Sharon and her husband! They loved and treated our dog as their own! Super warm and welcoming. Got cute pic updates too! 100% hope to book with them again in the picture.”
“This was by far the best decision my wife and I made. Elisabeth, is so great, welcoming and warming. Our Great Dane, Luna, had no problem what so ever and had so much fun. I look forward to our next appointment.”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Sophia did great! I know my border collie pup is a lot to keep up with, but Sophia kept her busy and enriched so well. The moment I picked Maeve up and put her in the car she fell right asleep. I would 100% bring her back.”
“My doggos were taken such great care of during their stay! Highly recommended and will absolutely ask Patti and her husband to take care of my dogs again in the future.”
“I felt like I left my dogs with family! I received photos and updates throughout the weekend, and never even worried about how my dogs were doing - it's like they had their own vacation”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
About: Hi there! I’m Yang I absolutely love spending time with dogs—whether it’s giving big belly rubs to gentle giants or running around with energetic pups. I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m super attentive to details, safety-certified (CPR & AED), and always happy to prepare fresh homemade meals or stick to any special routines your dog needs. Plus, you’ll get plenty of daily photo and video updates so you never have to guess how they’re doing! 📸✨ I'm currently working 11am to 5 pm Monday through Thursday and free the rest of the time.

“Sharon and Henry were absolutely amazing! They are extremely caring and went above and beyond to make sure Tony felt at home. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which really helped ease my anxiety — I didn’t have a single moment of concern the entire time. It was clear Tony enjoyed his stay and was showered with love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly thoughtful and reliable care!”
“I left my German Shepherd, Buddy, with Lori and Mike, and they did an excellent job watching him. They have a nice enclosed backyard where Buddy enjoyed frolicking and exploring. Buddy is an older dog and has some extra needs, including medications, and all his needs were well taken care of. Buddy came home happy and mellow as usual. I will definitely use their services again should I need them.”
“Our doggies love going to Leslie’s! We have used her for a second time and felt totally comfortable leaving them. She provided the cutest pictures of them and they were obviously either relaxed and having fun or sleeping peacefully.”
“Maisy was amazing!!! She sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. When we picked Tilly up she was happy and well fed. We truly appreciate Maisy as it is hard to leave our fur baby. She was extremely well cared for and loved. Thank you!!! We will be back! 💕”
“Allie was absolutely fantastic with our anxious pup, Shiloh! She showed incredible patience with Shiloh’s anxiety, creating an environment where our nervous girl felt safe and comfortable.What impressed us most was her adaptability and patience not only with Shiloh but also with us. We had several unforeseen incidents during our international trip (i.e., communication difficulties) that would have annoyed even a saint, but she handled everything like a true professional, always maintaining a positive, friendly attitude. Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and addressing any concerns promptly. We loved that her three kids love to play with dogs! They all helped out with Shiloh, giving her plenty of attention and playtime, which was wonderful for her socialization. Seeing how much her whole family enjoyed interacting with our dog made us feel even more comfortable leaving her in their care. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs and know how to work with different personalities and needs.I can’t recommend Allie (and her family) highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and skilled dog sitter, especially if your pup has special needs or anxiety issues. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Words can't describe how amazing this family is! They treat your dog like their own and go above and beyond to make you and your pup feel comfortable. Their kids are adorable and are so sweet with dogs. Our little pup didn't want to leave. Highly recommend! If I could give more stars I would!”
About: I love cats and dogs and will make sure they get lots of attention and that their area is kept clean and tidy so you come home to a nice place! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so very familiar with what to do. Happy to take care of yours or take your pups on a nice walk😊 I work from my phone so can essentially do anything or be anywhere as needed. Works out perfectly for me to go and take care of pets! I will make sure your pets have attention and that their area and the house or apartment is well taken care of and kept clean
“So much love and care shown to our fur baby Tina all the time. Our 2nd boarding with Justice, we can always count on her to take care of Tina! Again, she sent cute videos and pictures of Tina, happy and smiling. Thanks Justice!”
“Lisa took good care of our big Great Pyrenees mix. He can get a little overstimulated and very curious when meeting new people and dogs, so we appreciated her patience and willingness to work with him. Once he settles in, he’s very sweet and loves to play (and roughhouse a bit), but he also enjoys winding down and relaxing. She handled his personality well, kept us updated, and made sure he was safe and cared for. Overall, we’re glad we found someone who could watch him and give him the attention he needs.”

This was our dog’s first time staying with Sharon. She was very welcoming and loving with him. He was relaxed and responded very well to her lovely home and property. She is a great communicator and sent many photos to keep us informed and relaxed knowing that he was doing just fine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Old Fort Jim home-away-from-home, 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 Old Fort Jim.
<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 Old Fort Jim 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 , 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 .
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.
