“Emily watched my dog Shia for one night, and she was great! She was easy to communicate with, responsible, and attentive. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter in Santa Cruz!”

“We have been using Jenna for a year now and we are so grateful we have found her and her family! She is always so positive and assuring. Our Great Dane loves going to their house! We always feel at ease leaving him there!”


“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”


“Valentina was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating, even when our travel was delayed. She sent adorable pictures to keep us up to date, and it was clear that our fellas were getting a lot of love and attention! We’ll definitely have Valentina at the very top of our list for future trips!”

“Julia was amazing! We received daily updates and photos. Harry quickly adapted to Julia's home. He went on daily excursions and was given lots of affection, scratches, pets, and companionship. Harry was clearly at ease when we picked him up. Highly recommend Julia!”

“Angelika did a great job watching my dog, Fawn! Throughout the process of watching her she sent me updated pictures of how Fawn was doing when staying at her place, and was flexible about the drop off/pick up time! I’d recommend Angelika to others who are looking for somewhere for their doggie to stay while they’re on a vacation or what not. :)”

“This was our first Rover experience and Anusha is amazing! Our dog Annie had so much fun and was treated like a queen! She got walks and loved running around in her spacious yard. I highly recommend and would happily call Anusha to watch Annie again!”

“Barbie and her son were a godsend for our sweet pup! We could tell our dog had a great time and we really appreciated the amazing communication/photos. He went on multiple walks (which he loves) and enjoyed the comfortable and beautiful space. Thank you for the thoughtful care!”

“Yu provided an excellent experience for my dog, who is easily overstimulated and has anxiety issues. She is caring and dedicated. Yu provided many photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. I will definitely book her again!”

“Zonic was well looked after by Madhumita, she would update me with photos and sometimes video clips of Zonic every morning. I highly recommend Madhumita as she is a caring and detail person.”

“Casper had a wonderful time during the stay! Jennifer sent photos and kept us updated. It's comforting to know that our fur baby is being taken good care of. Highly recommended”


“Natalia and Chester are amazing. Chewie had a wonderful time playing with Chester non stop and enjoyed the walks. Natalia was very sweet, sending updates and allowing Chewie to sleep on her couch. Will definitely book Natalia again.”

“Jasmine was a godsend to us as we needed to find a sitter last minute and she was amazing!!! Molly felt right at home and found a new BFF with Jasmine's dog Summer. She was great with communication and sent updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. We highly recommend Jasmine to care for your fur baby.”

“Denisa took excellent care of our girls. We appreciated the daily updates, the thoughtfulness, the fact that they looked happy and came back peaceful, clearly not stressed, but playful and free of anxiety. Made us feel like they were well cared for.”

“A very warm and friendly environment for our pup. Juliana also did a great job communicating. We were confident our dog was left in good hands, and he was indeed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Paradise Park
Susie did a great job welcoming my dog Suki at her home and making her feel at ease. She kept me posted about how things were going while I was away including photos. Suki enjoyed walks several times a day, meeting the neighbors and even rides on the SC Harbor water taxi! I recommend Susie to others looking for a pet-sitter for their dog.

Alice & Thiago were incredible with our dog Akela. This was our first time with them and they made us feel so comfortable leaving Akela and throughout the weekend. Alice sent photos/updates daily and I’m so grateful for how much they seemed to care about our babe. We will 100% be working with them again!!

It was SO wonderful to finally enjoy our first vacation in a long time without having to worry about our babies! ❤️ We came home to happy, well-loved dogs, and they even got the fun new experience of socializing with Liseth’s dogs—which they absolutely loved! Liseth was incredibly loving, caring, attentive, and wonderful with them. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will absolutely bring my babies back to Liseth again—and again—if she’ll have us! 🐾❤️ We feel so lucky to have found her!

This was my second time relying on Sylvie in as many weeks and she's fabulous. Kind, beloved by my dogs, and so good at taking care of my fur babies. The second time my dogs went to her house for boarding, my older corgi full on ran toward it without a care that he was being left behind. He was so excited to see her again! I highly recommend Sylvie to anyone needing a sitter.

Erica was great! My dog, Penny, seemed at ease with her from the get-go. Erica kept me informed throughout the experience. Pre-booking meet went well with her dog, and then the actual 2-day booking seemed to be problem-free, with several walk photos throughout her stay. Would definitely use Erica again!

Nancy and Lance are the kindest sweetest people. My little dog Clover looks foward to her stay and always has so much fun playing with their dogs Lucy and Phoebe. Nancy is always quick to respond, sends pics/video, and treats Clover as her own. I'm lucky to have them as our dog sitters. Thank you Nancy and Lance!

Evelyn was phenomenal! This is the first time I left my puppy with someone outside our family and I was very nervous. From the beginning Evelyn made me feel so secure that our pup would be in good, caring hands. Throughout our trip we received regular updates and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that everything was okay. I cannot recommend Evelyn enough! Thank you for everything!!!

Britt took such great care of Bailey during his stay! He made sure Bailey got plenty of playtime, took him on some great walks, and, most importantly, gave him lots of love and cuddles while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Britt again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for boarding!

Kathleen and her family were the perfect pet sitters for my dog. She was super friendly and communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me up to date on everything and sending me lots of cute photos. My dog has lots of energy and she made sure to take him on long runs and walks every day! He loved her, and I felt happy knowing that my dog was being so well taken care of.

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 Paradise Park 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 Paradise Park.
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 Paradise Park 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.
