“Another wonderful vacation for our miniature schnauzers! Lynn always showers them with love and cookies! I never have to worry when they stay with Lynn as she treats them like her own. Her adorable Maltese babies love playing with ours like one big happy family!”

“Poulette was very responsive to communications. I got responses to my inquiries very quickly. And while Whiskey and Vixen boarded with her, I received daily updates and photos of the dogs playing in her yard. I am very glad to have found a home environment for my dogs to stay in when they cannot be at my home.”

“Thank you so much Ashleigh!! Took great care of my puppy and gave updates. Lula had great fun and will definitely be boarding her with Ashleigh and her family the next time I’m in the area.”

“Megan was great. She was very comfortable with doggy behaviors especially with my restless dogs getting there after a 500 mile drive. She didn’t hesitate to jump right in. They were happy and well cared for!”


“My Lola had the best time with Melissa and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with them for the weekend. Melissa sent pictures and video of Lola throughout her stay. It’s a relief to have found such a wonderful pet sitter! Thank you again!”

“I highly recommend Leslie. While I was out of town, she sent me pictures of Kobi. She reassured me that he was being taken care of. She sent a video of Kobi playing with the family. I will certainly use her again.”
“Erica was amazing with my pup! She was patient and understanding. She was very flexible with me and Wren and I felt very comfortable with her the first time we met! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”

“Jennifer took such wonderful care of our boy! We can’t recommend her enough. We got daily pictures and saw how much fun he was having - so much we almost thought he wouldn’t want to come back home! Thank you so much Jennifer”

About: I’m a dog mom to Coco, my sweet mini Goldendoodle, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and caring for a dog’s everyday needs. I’m patient and attentive to little changes in a dog’s behavior, appetite, and energy. I’ll take the time to learn your pup’s routine, follow your care instructions, and let them settle in at their own pace. I love animals and I bring the care and attention I’d want for Coco, along with regular photos and updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles into my day. Your pup will have plenty of company and attention, and I’ll follow their usual routine to help them feel at home. I want your pup to feel comfortable and cared for in my home. I’ll follow your instructions for meals, walks, and sleep, keep anything unsafe out of reach, and use a leash for outdoor walks. I have a sweet mini Goldendoodle, Coco, and will arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure our dogs are comfortable together. I’ll supervise their interactions, feed them separately, and give your pup a quiet place to rest. You’ll also receive photos and updates, and I’ll keep your contact and vet details handy.

“We had a last minute family emergency and had to find a place for our corgi the night before our trip. Rachel was quick to confirm her availability and happy to watch our dog. She sent daily photo updates which we loved! Highly recommend, thanks again Rachel!”

“Cynthia took great care of my little girl! She’s very polite, professional and caring. I will trust her to care for my fur babies whenever needed in the future. She sent me updates and pictures every day.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I have had many dogs of my own over the years who I have cared for dearly. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your fur baby and send you updates throughout the stay, so you won’t have to worry about anything. I’m home all day on Friday’s to Sunday’s. I’m currently a college student, on Mondays and Wednesdays I’m away from home for 3 hours. Tuesdays and Thursdays unfortunately I’m away for 5 hours, which means I’m not able to take any pets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a fenced yard that your pet is able to use to run around in or play. I as well have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and would love to play with your pets. If needed I could crate my own pets to guarantee the safety of your pet so it can enjoy its free roaming space without worrying.
“Cecilia is very professional and caring. She is a real dog lover! She and her dogs welcomed our energetic puppy and she sent photos and videos every day. We appreciate her work!”

“Tracy was amazing! She showed extra care for our puppy, making sure he was happy and loved. She has a natural talent with dog behavior, and treated our boy like her own. She sent daily updates, photos and videos. Our dog came home happy and tired, plenty of playtime. We will definitely book again!”


“Alma was absolutely amazing with our little Cooper. He stayed with her in her home for 2 weeks. She always sent pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing. She treated him like family. Cooper was happy when we picked him up. I know he misses Alma already. Will definitely use Alama again.”


“As has been true many times before, Danielle took wonderful, loving care of “Charlotte.” Returned to find her looking fluffy and beautiful—-and full of zest and kisses. Highly recommend.”

Message me to set up a meet & greet By day, I’m a state worker and certified notary which basically means I spend weekdays silently questioning why that meeting couldn’t have been an email. But outside work hours, I’m 100% committed to fur, fun, and four legged companionship. I hate being stuck in the office during the week, so when I’m home, I’m all about giving your pet the attention they deserve. Even if I do step out to check on my pups, I make it a point not to leave any animal alone for more than four hours because, let's face it, their cute little faces deserve more than “see ya later, hope you don’t eat a shoe!” When your pet is in my care, they’re not just getting the basics they’re getting the 5-paw experience. If requested, you’ll get daily updates. I keep my read receipts on because I’m not out here ghosting worried pet parents. I check the asphalt with the back of my hand before walks like a dramatic meteorologist. If it’s too hot? No worries – we’ll do indoor zoomies instead. I treat your pet like I do my own: like a fuzzy little royalty who runs the household. Their safety, comfort, and daily routines comes first. Basically, I worry so you don’t have to. Go ahead and relax – I’ve got this (and so does your pet).
“Bingo had a nice time at Yulia’s! She was very accommodating when we had to extend for another night, as well as providing constant updates for our doggy. Would bring him back again!”


About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.

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 Progress home-away-from-home, 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 Progress.
<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 Progress 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 , 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 .
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.
