“We are so grateful to Nazgûl, she sent daily photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while away. Our cat, Tiggy , was very happy and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely use her again!”
“Shannon was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Her dog Lola is very sweet and Koda now has a new best friend! Shannon also has kids at home, which was another plus for Koda as she absolutely adores children. I have already booked another DoggyDayCare with Shannon!”
“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“Alicia and Christian have been our go to since we moved to the area and at this point when we bring our dog to their house, our dog gets so excited to see them and their dog Herbert. We feel extremely comfortable with having them watch our dog. They are also very accommodating with any schedule changes!”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“Heather was amazing with my pups! They felt comfortable right away especially my boxer who gets skittish meeting new sitters. She sent pictures and updated me daily throughout my trip. I would definitely book again with Heather ❤️”
“Sarah goes above and beyond when she walks our dog Ruckus. He can be quite reactive on leash and Sarah really takes the time and patiently trains him through his triggers. She has even given us some strategies on how we handle him on leash. If you are looking for a dog walker for a reactive dog, we recommend Sarah!”
“We were so pleased that we found Vadym for our Bella. Vadym and his family were very good with Bella and treated her like their own. They have a nice home with a good size backyard, and Vadym would play ball with Bella for break time. We got photos and videos from Vadym every day. I will definitely use Vadym again next time. Will also recommends his service to others too.”
“Amazing!! They watched my two dogs on short notice and were absolutely amazing! They made me feel so comfortable at drop-off and reassured me that my dogs were in great hands. They sent photos and videos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. They were also incredibly patient and accommodating when we ran a little late for pickup and needed to extend their stay by an hour. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“Sandra provided my dog Babe outstanding care from the minute we arrived to the end of Babe’s stay. She went beyond the usual services I expected. I’ve had many experiences with other dog care over the years.”
“Dana is amazing! You can feel her passion for animals with just the first conversation. I was a little anxious to be leaving my pup with his first Rover on account that he has seizures but Dana took all my worries away. Nacho did not want to come back with us, he loved Dana so much! Not only was she so sweet but she also did a fantastic job grooming my boy. He is so anxious around grooming tools but she was patient and had him looking like a little gentleman. She truly is a gem!”
“Chong did a phenomenal job with our pups. They both came back freshly bathed! I have never had a sitter throw in a bath without requesting it before. We had to book last minute for 4 days and Chong was very responsive. We got all the communication squared away within 2 hours and she even gave us a discount for the second dog. Through the stay she sent us picture updates. Watching our dogs interact with her when we came to pick them up gave me enough confidence that they had a great time! I will definitely use her for future pet sitting needs!”
“David is great! This was our first experience with him. For the first time Mila did not jump in my arms when she saw me at pickup. She was perfectly happy with David. Finding someone trustworthy is hard to find. I feel like you could trust him as he also can relate since he has his own dog. Super kind and careful with treating Mila. I truly appreciate how responsive he is. Fantastic all around!! 🙏”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“May is a wonderful and caring sitter. She always kept us updated with pictures and information on how our little fur baby was doing. Our dog was comfortable, well cared for and had no anxiety being in May’s home thanks to her loving care. Thank you May!”
“Lori was amazing with your dog! She sent us frequent photos and videos and treated her like one of her own. I would recommend Lori to anyone. Your dog will be in great hands!”
“Koda had so much fun while staying with Savannah. I tend to worry because Koda has a lot of energy which makes it hard to find a rover that will give him the exercise that he needs- but Savannah was PERFECT. Koda had a great time playing in her yard with other doggies and slept the whole way home. I 100% recommend going to Savannah for all of your pet watching needs.”

Zoey took amazing care of my dog, Hero, for two days. She was very responsive, attentive, and clearly cared for him like her own. I felt completely at ease while he was with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

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 Pala 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 Pala.
<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 Pala 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.
