“Alicia and family were absolutely wonderful to Lily. Alicia consistently provided me with updates and photos. She could not have been more caring to Lily. I will absolutely use her services again! Thank you to Alicia and her family, again. Lily loved them!!”
“Leslie really deserves this 5 star rating! She went above and beyond being helpful and attentive to my pup and I. She sent fun updates, provided a comfortable home and her other pets were so compatible with my playful pup!”
“Pico was so well taken care of, and his stay was smooth from beginning to end. I was sent regular updates with pictures and video, so I appreciate the helpful and thoughtful communication. We will definitely be using their services again for Pico!”
“Awesome family, great furry friend of their own. Our doggies felt at home with them…. And our frenchie even refused to leave with me 🤣. That says a lot about how much love and attention they received.”
“Dana was super great with my Pit Brewsky! He made himself right at home! She definitely has the magic touch when it came to trimming his nails; he is VERY sensitive to anyone touching his paws/nails and she was able to work with him successfully! She gave great feedback and advice based on his personality and needs as well. Dana will be our go to sitter from now on!! 🤍”
“Andrew was wonderful and communicative! He took amazing care of our boys and kept us up to date a lot. This was extremely helpful as one of our dogs is high maintenance and requires medication.”
“Rima took such good care of our Rosie! Loved receiving photos and videos throughout the day. Rima is very caring, down to earth, kind, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to board their pet!”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Natalie is truly one of a kind. From the meet and greet with her other two precious pups, through the pick up, Lambo was well taken care of. She ensured that the entire process was smooth and easy. Her home was spacious and comfortable. Natalie even gave us a written report card and a sweet Christmas card on our way out. Thanks again Natalie aka Dr. Dolittle :)”
About: My family and I have always loved dogs. Growing up in Japan, we had a Hokkaido dog, a larger and active breed, as well as a Toy Poodle. I have many years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I cared closely for our Hokkaido dog when he became ill, and our Toy Poodle is now 13 years old and lives with my family in Japan, so I also have experience caring for senior dogs. Since moving to California, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ dogs and have had several experiences providing overnight care in my home for one to two weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, so I always try to provide care that fits their individual needs. For dogs who prefer a calm environment, I can choose quieter walking routes with less traffic, while active dogs can enjoy longer walks or even a run with me. I’m also happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Most importantly, I believe pets are family. Dogs give us so much love, and I want every dog in my care to receive that same love and kindness in return. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can relax knowing how your dog is doing. If your dog has any special routines, needs, or preferences, please feel free to let me know—I’m happy to discuss them with you! I work freelance from home, so I spend a lot of time at home and can give your dog plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. During their stay, I’ll do my best to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and rest. I also enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to adjust walks and activities based on your dog’s normal routine and energy level. I host only one dog at a time so I can provide a calm environment and give each dog plenty of individual attention. I carefully manage my schedule to avoid overlapping stays. For all new clients, I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a booking to make sure it’s a good fit for both your dog and me. This also gives me a chance to learn more about your dog’s personality, routine, and care needs so I can provide a safe and comfortable stay. My home has fenced patios on both the first and second floors, where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, relax, or play with me. When the weather is comfortable, the upstairs patio is also a nice place for them to relax or take a nap. Dogs staying in my home are expected to stay off the furniture and beds. I do my best to respect each dog’s normal routine and household rules while providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. Before their stay, please let me know about their potty habits, including any history of indoor accidents or marking, as well as their daily routine, any special needs, or anything else you think I should know to help them feel comfortable and at home. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Darcy was just the best sitter for our dog! She showed him so much love and attention that he was perfectly relaxed the moment he arrived. That was important to me too so I could relax knowing he was well care for. Darcy understands dog behavior and knows how to handle walks, greetings with other dogs and play time. She’s not just a dog walker, she’s engaged every step of the way. I highly recommend her and she’s my go to person from now on!”
About: Dogs make me happiest! I live with two well-trained Labs everyone compliments, and your pup gets joyful, detailed care, cozy routine, plus happy updates daily! I'm currently available full-time, so your dog gets my full attention — safe, supervised play in our fully fenced yard, plenty of companionship, and a cozy sunroom to sleep in at night. No long stretches alone. We have a fully fenced yard where your dog can play with my two Labradors during the day, and at night they have a cozy sunroom to sleep in. If your dog needs to be crated, I can do that as well — just let me know their usual routine and I'll follow it.
“Excellent service and communication. I booked less that 24 hour prior and Priscilla was available and relieved our stress. We will definitely work with her again! Thank you”
“Danielle and Austin were both amazing. Our pup definitely had a great time exploring their yard and hanging out with their dog Hank. I had no fear that Odin was well taken care of. Definitely will be boarding him with them again!”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“Such a great family! They took really great care of our dog at their home for a week. We loved all the updates and pictures along the way. Easy communication and will definitely book with them again!”
“Shelley is a wonderful sitter. We knew our dog was in good hands from the moment we met her, and I think Lucas would agree from the way he was asking to be pet by her in the update videos haha! Thanks Shelly!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pala Mesa
I would definitely recommend Susan if you’re looking to board your dog for an extended period of time. She was well prepared, and I appreciated that she set up a meet & greet so my dog and I could get to know her after we initially reached out. She sent photos and updates daily so we could see our pup, which were greatly appreciated! She was also great at communication throughout our dog’s entire stay. Our dog really enjoyed her place and we felt at ease knowing he was cared for while we were away!
Alicia and Christian were fantastic with Mookie! We booked pretty last minute for a wedding in the area, and they were incredibly responsive and accommodating. They kept us updated throughout his stay with plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. They also have a doodle that Mookie had an absolute blast playing with, and their yard was perfect for him to run around and burn off some energy. It was clear he was well cared for and having a great time. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring Rover!

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 Mesa 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 Mesa.
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 Mesa 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.
