“Alicia and Christian were nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning they made my wife and I feel safe and confident with the decision of leaving our puppy under their care while we were away on vacation. They were very communicative/responsive, shared daily updates (enough to let us know how our baby is doing and behaving but not overwhelmingly too much to interfere with vacation), and pictures. They have a gorgeous and very friendly golden doodle who became besties with my puppy (we enjoyed all the pictures of them playing together and hanging out with each other). I’m sure our Milo is missing his bestie and caretakers. Without a doubt will be reserving with them again in the future. Thank you so much for taking great care of our baby!”
“Shannon and her family were great with Koda. They made him feel like he was at home. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on his well-being and always made me feel at ease. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby and I will be using her in the future. Thanks again Shannon ?? ?”
“Yani and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Miso. They provided us with regular updates and pictures, as well as valuable feedback about how Miso was doing during his stay. They have a very nice front yard and backyard, which gives Spike (their dog) and Miso separate spaces in case they don’t get along, which I think is very thoughtful and smart. Miso seemed very happy and well taken care of throughout his stay. We felt very comfortable leaving him with Yani and her family and would definitely recommend them!”
“So grateful that my mini goldendoodle, Bauer, was well taken cared of. I received pictures/video daily with an update of how Bauer is doing. I will definitely have a my dog stay again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Mochi was well taken care of by Sierra and her family. He was very happy and energetic when I picked him up. It was sad leaving him as it was a week long, but I felt very good after great updates and pictures from Sierra. Highly recommend, thank you!!”
“Robert was great from the start. He watched our foster dog for 2 days in a row and he kept me updated with great pictures! He was so kind and patient with Kamari, she is an anxious girl and he handled it very well and helped her to feel comfortable and at home. He also has the sweetest dog that Kamari got to play with. I highly recommend Robert!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in my life! Young to old! I love all kinds! I remember loving to care of animals from the age 5! I’ve had 7 pets. Due to my flexible at home work schedule, i have lots of availability to care for your pet! I am open to all your pet care needs! I care for pets with my own experience but also will follow all directions given that are necessary to give your pet the best care they need!
“Toby seemed to have such a good time with Caleb! Caleb also updated me when I asked for updates and send pictures when I asked. This was the longest Toby and I have spent apart since I adopted him, Caleb helped to ease my Dog Mom anxiety. We will for sure use Caleb again the next time we need a sitter!”
“After our previous dog sitter moved to Northern California, we had a hard time finding someone who compares until we found David! He did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever, Charlie, even keeping us updated with pictures. David and his dog Auggie were the perfect fit for Charlie and I know they treated him like their own. Will definitely book with David again!”
“Had no worries leavingThomas with Raquel for our trip down to Mexico- we got daily photos and videos from Raquel along with updated food and walking details throughout the trip. When we picked up Thomas he was happy and playful- thank you Raquel!! Defined our go to next time we take a trip ??”
“May is amazing. I have used her twice and she is so caring with my girl sending me pictures on a regular basis I requested her last minute and she happily agreed to watch my baby girl for the weekend. I appreciate her.”
“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!”
“I think going to Rachelle's house is Lucy's version of a child going to Disneyland. She was so excited when we got there that she completely forgot I was there and ran off before I could say goodbye and wish her well. Needless to say, Rachelle was great once again and I, I mean Lucy, looks forward to the next time.”
“This was my first time using Rover and dog boarding services at a private home and it was excellent. I wonder how much of that was due to Angie and her family just being truly amazing. Angie was very helpful during our meetup, going over everything, and properly and patiently allowing my dogs to meet her and Boo Radley. Drop off and pick up was a breeze, dogs got tons of love and enjoyed having a new buddy in Boo. I also received lots of pictures and video, which helped me feel at ease and enjoy my time away. I'll be a happy returning customer, but I have a feeling that my dogs will be even happier. Thanks, Angie!”
“Danielle and Austin were great! My dog Lucia gets a little nervous before staying with new people and they were so welcoming and sweet. They were both super communicative and I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire time! Thank you both for being so great!”
“Just Wow, Totally unexpected the care and environment provided by Jack & Morgan. Our home is their home kind of vib and our pups soaked it up. Very accommodating and looked after our dogs as needed. Class act right here and we are so appreciative of what they had to offer!”
“Brianna and Charles took great care of our 2 pups on short notice. We received updates and pictures of our dogs daily. They had plenty of play and were properly tired when we brought them home. Thank you Brianna and Charles!”
“Bentley very much enjoyed his time with Avery and her family. We are extremely happy with the services and care they provided. They were especially attentive to his needs as an older dog. We recommend them highly.”

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.
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 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.
