About: Hi! I’m a 21 year old college student at Porterville College and a lifelong animal lover. I live on a country property where I care for horses, chickens, cats, and dogs daily, giving me hands on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I offer pet sitting, overnight care, walks, drop-in visits, and boarding for pets that are comfortable around other animals. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like family. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animal care, you can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so your pet will always be my priority. Caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and I'll have plenty of time to provide attention, playtime, exercise, medication administration, and personalized care throughout the day. I live in a peaceful country setting with a cozy home, lots of fresh air, and very little traffic. Your pet is welcome to enjoy the sights, sounds, and enrichment of country life while always being closely supervised. I also understand that every pet is different, and I'm happy to follow your preferences! Whether that means indoor-only care, crate training, a specific routine, or extra one-on-one attention. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels right at home.
About: My genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care sets me apart from other sitters. I'm experienced in training puppies using positive techniques, ensuring they learn good behaviors in a fun way. I'm skilled in providing gentle attention, administering medications, and ensuring their comfort. I'm attentive to each pet's unique needs, creating a safe and happy environment for them. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I structure my day to ensure your furry friends get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime as well as walks, feeding schedules, and cuddle sessions, making pet care a joyful part of my life. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about creating a safe, comfy, and fun environment. At my home, I have a pet-proofed space with cozy beds, toys, and a secure yard for playtime. At your home, I follow your routine, respect your rules, and shower your pets with love and attention, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you're away.

About: I have over 10 + years caring for my own animals and 3+ years doing it professionally for others. I am currently offering pet sitting in your home, daily check ins, and dog walking services. Can also preform bathing. I have experience caring for birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. Excellent references available upon request. I am a long time animal lover and started caring for ducks at a young age. When I go older I begged my dad for a dog. My first dog was rescued from the streets as it seemed to be abandoned. Since then I have developed a passion for animals and taking care of them. I am currently pursuing a career in the animal field where I hope to become a vet tech.
About: I have always been around pets. I have two dogs of my own. When family members go on vacation I will take care of their dogs. I have took their dogs to go outside use the restroom, feed them, walk them. I bathe my own pets, feed, and walk them as well. My pets are trained to be inside and outside. I currently work two pet time jobs that I set my own schedule for. I typically am free in the mornings and in the evenings. I have a fenced back yard. My back yard is split into sections so I can easily keep my dogs away from other dogs I care for if the owner is uncomfortable. I have plenty of room in my house for a crate or puppy pads and more. My home is very welcoming to pets.
“Adam and his beautiful family were so welcoming to me and Neo. If I’m ever in the area again I’d definitely reach out to see if they could watch him and he could spend time with Moose. Thanks so much you guys!”

“Laurel did a great job taking care of Zeus. She was very sweet, responsive and communicative with his doggie day care. She kept me updated with the stay throughout day. Zeus had a great time while in her care. I would definitely recommend and rebook again. Thank you again! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of several different breeds of dogs since I was 5yrs old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they are away. I love getting to play with them and go on walks. I am always very careful with animals in general and do my best to go above and beyond for them because there is so much that they can’t fully communicate to us. I have always loved animals and am so thankful that I not only get to enjoy my dog but others as wellz I currently work from home and I am home most of the time. I walk my dog in the morning and once in the evening. We play throughout the day in the backyard. I feed, walk, play, brush, cuddle, pet, play, and love your pet like my own. I know how to bathe most dogs as well as use a dryer to dry them.
“Gail is friendly, communicative, flexible, and great with dogs. My dog is anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people and places, so I always worry about leaving her with a sitter. Turns out I had nothing to with about with Gail. She came prepared with a treat and before I knew it, I was getting updates and pictures of my pup making herself right at home. My dog was happy and relaxed when I picked her up in the evening. I would definitely take my dog back to Gail if I visit the area again in the future.”

About: Working remotely I give your pets the care and love that they deserve. More hugs! More walks! More love! More safety! In rural vt I cared for small and large homes, and medium to larger dogs. Active pets I am active. Older pets and I respite with them more. Every animal has a different personality and different needs. I care. They seem to know. lol. On a side note I volunteer with a local animal shelter and a food bank. I try to make a difference where I can. Growing up we had family dogs. It taught me how amazing animals are.

Yup. :-) Working from my home or yours means more care for your loved family member (aka pets)!
“Our 5 month old, very energetic puppy had a great playdate today, starting with a very cute “Welcome” sign, just for her. Beautiful, pet friendly home, with a fenced dog area. We got several videos of her playing throughout the day, which put our minds at ease. It was such a great experience that we’ve already booked an overnight stay.”

“Sharon was great! She agreed to look after my dog Moose without a meet and greet as we live out of town and were going to be visiting Sequoia during the weekend, which was a huge help. She is a good communicator and I came back to a happy dog after a day visiting the national park.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Porterville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
