“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”

“Hannah was amazing. She was able to accommodate us last minute for a holiday weekend. She sent us updates along with videos of Archer doing all his favorite activities. We know he was in great hands and will definitely call her for any future needs”

“Mike & Patty are great!!! We left our dog Buzz for the first time with someone else, and they took fabulous care of him, and our dog is spoiled at home, and has his quirks. We got daily updates, and photos, I will definitely be asking them to take care of Buzz again in the future - thanks so much Patty & Mike!”

“JD is a dog whisperer! Cannot say enough about how amazing he was with our 125lb Rottie! It is very clear how much the dogs love and respect him! He is very affectionate with them and ensures they are comfortable at all times. They get a lot of play time..Koba is always ready for a nap after all his playtime there. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and their interactions with one another. He has a gentle and soft way with them making it easy for them to want to obey him. I received as much as 30 pictures a day showing what Koba was enjoying! JD will be out go to anytime we are away from home!”

“Kimberly and her family were amazing as always! I truly feel comfortable leaving my doggy in her care and I never have to worry because she provides pictures and updates everyday. Thank you, again, Kimberly!”


“We were so satisfied with Tracey’s services. Before we first met her, she took time to read our dog’s Rover profile. Then she sat down with us, asked us questions, and took notes. From the day we dropped our dog off, she kindly answered all my texts, and nothing ever seemed to be a problem for her. Our dog seemed completely happy, and would’ve been content to keep on staying there, had we not picked him up. Thank you again!”

“We arrived for a trip to Santa Cruz and found out our Roz was not allowed at the hotel due to her size. We started searching local pet hospitals, dog walkers, boarding facilities and the only place that could take her was all the way back in Santa Clara. As a last resort we checked Rover and Meghan came through for us. In the end Roz probably had as much fun as we did with her new friends during our weekend in Santa Cruz. Thanks Meghan!”

“Stasha & her boyfriend were wonderful! It was our first time boarding our pup and I was very nervous. She kept us updated throughout the day, and communication was great. She would send pictures as well! We will definitely book with her again.”

“Was planning to go Florida with my wife and leave our little pup Thor with Wendy but some other things came up and we had to cancel last minute. Wendy was super great and professional and was kind enough to refund me for the days we had scheduled. We could tell our little Thor had fun his two days there because he didn’t want to leave. We will definitely”

“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”

“Sofiya treated our little dog with kindness. Sofiya responded quickly to messages, and she sends photos and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her capable hands I will use Sofiya in the future for dog sitting.”

“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”

“Anusha is an amazing sitter for Kumo. She updated us with pictures and videos every few hours which we greatly appreciated, and made us feel at ease during our vacation as we could see Kumo was having the time of her life. She even made a best friend during her stay! We're very lucky to have found her as a sitter and highly recommend!”

“Juliana was awesome. I would definately not hesitate to have you watch over your 4 legged friends. Our dog was nervious at first but by the second day she had max happy go lucky. Will definately reach out for future bookings when they come up.”

“Jennifer and family was great on taking care of Ty during the long weekend. She is amazing as responds for every text messages very quick. Also very nice pictures and lot of love and attention. I recommend them a lot and will for sure rely on them on our next trips! Thank you so much!!!”

“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”

“I was so pleased with the care provided for Harley by Michelle. She kept me updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind that Harley was enjoying himself and very happy at Michelle’s home. I look forward to using her services again soon. Sharon S.”

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 Port Watsonvile 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 Port Watsonvile.
<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 Port Watsonvile 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.
