“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Sant was very attentive and caring with my dog. He made sure my dog’s needs were met, especially his medications. He had good communication with me while my dog was boarded.”
“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!”
“Everything from a flexible drop off/pick up to updates with pics to the dogs coming home tired from playing was exactly what they needed. The piece of mind we had was a huge bonus to have them with someone who cared! It's never easy leaving your pups with anyone but will not hesitate to do it again with Peter!! Thanks again”
“We enjoyed getting updates from Sally. It helped reassure us that Zsa Zsa was acclimating to her environment with the other dogs and in a new space. Thank you for making Zsa Zsa’s staycation a fun, safe time.”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sofiia and her husband were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her in last minute and were so caring and attentive! Will definitely be using again! Our dog came back happy and rested.”
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”
“My dog had an amazing time with Liam C. He took the time to learn my dog’s routine, likes and dislikes. I could tell my dog was very comfortable there. Excellent communication, flexibility with pick up and drop off time, clean zen environment. I recommend 100%”
“Justine is awesome overall! She is kind, caring, pays great attention to detail and is very responsive. Xander was with Justine for a week and we were at peace knowing that he was with someone who cared about him as much as we do! Additionally, her pup Bodi just wants to play with your dog :) On her end, Justine also kept us in the loop the whole time with regular pics and videos and went above and beyond in caring for Xander with regular walks, play time and park time! I recommend her with no reservations and would happily board Xander with her again.”
“Rambo has been on playdates and overnights at Sabrina’s house since he was a pup years ago. He is always super excited to come back and we have total peace of mind when he is here that he will have an awesome time and be very well cared for and loved. 100% recommended.”
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
“Awa took great care of our little Cinnamon! It was Cinni’s first time away from home and she can be a bit of a handful, but Awa made her feel safe and happy! I would book with Awa again, she was wonderful!”
“I had a great experience with Vanson! He provides a very safe space for drop-offs and has a wonderful, pet-friendly backyard. Vanson has a great attitude and kept me at ease with frequent updates and plenty of photos. Highly recommended!”

Serafina took wonderful care of our special-needs dog, who is blind. He adapted to her very well, which really speaks to her patience, kindness, and genuine love for dogs. She provided thoughtful updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When our flight was unexpectedly canceled and additional delays pushed back our return, Serafina was incredibly flexible and understanding. She continued caring for our dog until we were finally able to get home, and we were so grateful knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciated the care and compassion Serafina showed our dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.
Sant was very easy to work with, he communicates clearly and sends daily updates of your pets. We did not have to worry about the dogs, he assured us that they are well taken cared of and sent us pictures. He made sure to give our senior dog his meds. The dogs were happy to see us on pickup day and both looked happy and well taken cared of. Thanks Sant!
Jill and her family gave Cooper great care and their dog Buddy was the perfect best friend for Cooper during his time with them. They took care of him for over a week and we did not have to worry one bit because we knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back here for future vacations.
Natalie took such good care of my elderly dog. I was away for a week and nervous about leaving her. Natalie is so warm and genuine, it was like leaving her with a friend. When I picked Ginger up, she didn’t want to leave - that’s a really good sign from my timid girl!
Rachel was great with Roxy! She sent me tons of pictures and updates which I appreciated. She was very thoughtful with her approach getting to know my dog, since my dog is very shy. She was very flexible with my work schedule as well which was super helpful as someone really busy with work. Her house also seemed like a very calm and spacious environment for dogs. I will be using her again in the future.
Karen is a very competent, responsible dog lover who took excellent care of our Labradoodle while we were out of town. He enjoyed hanging out with Karen’s dogs and sharing early morning walks with them each day. Karen was very communicative, and we loved getting her daily updates and pics. We’d highly recommend her to care for your pup!!!!

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.
93% of sitters in Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill.
<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 Pleasant Hill 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.
