About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“This was my first time leaving my pup behind with a stranger so I was super skeptical but Nelson and his family did great. He has great communication and compassion for animals, he sent me pictures throughout her stay and would message me back in a timely manner. He helped train on areas my furball needs improvement in and took her on daily walks. Thank you for all you do!! I will definitely be rebooking.”
“Sarah and Jamey were great hosts to Ranger! He got to play with other dogs and got plenty of exercise. They were kind, friendly, and flexible, and I would happily book with them again.”
“Kimberly was an amazing caregiver to our dog! She was so caring and communicated every day with us. Our dog needs daily medication and she went the extra mile to care for her. We knew she was in great hands and would not hesitate to have her care for our dog again!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
“Amanda took very good care of my two furbabies while I was out of town. She kept in touch with me throughout my time away & provided snap shots so I could ssee them enjoying their break from me!! Easy drop off & pick up experience.”
“Just the look on my dogs face when Jenna sent me a picture of her said it all. She was running with wild abandonment and I say she was smiling. Highly recommend and will seek out next time I need a sitter.”
“Ashlee and her husband were amazing. My dog Skye loved both of them. They have a lot of room from dogs to run and play. My dog was happy and tired out and having a husky that’s not an easy thing. Both Ashlee and her husband really love dogs and it shows. I was very pleased and will be using them again in the future!”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Planada can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Planada 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 Planada.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Planada. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Planada 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
