“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“Our dog, Betty, fell in love with Darylee and her family during her stay this weekend. It was a serendipitous last minute availability that worked out for everyone! We received lots of pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, and it was obvious she was getting lots of belly rubs and attention! We will definitely be booking with them in the near future!!! =)”
“100% would recommend. For someone who takes their dog everywhere and always has anxiety about leaving my pup, Leigh and her family made me feel at ease being away. She is great with sending updates(without having to ask) and responding quickly. She is very much so true dog lover, even letting my over bearing bug sleep in bed with them. Also my dog is talented at escaping/running out the door but he was kept safe the whole time. Over all amazing experience and I will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Where do I begin? First, I am eternally grateful for Doug and Marisol’s attentiveness and love to our 4 Pack. Our little special needs dog, Starr, needed an emergency trip to the vet that required immediate treatment while we were in York, England. Marisol and Doug kept us informed via text, pictures and email about Starr’s progress. They truly saved her life. Starr was given the royal treatment during her recovery. Second, Marisol and Doug are observant and their care for the 4 Pack is amazing. They made sure the 4 Pack stayed healthy and hydrated during the recent heat wave. Even coordinating with us to buy special food for the 4 Pack. Third, I truly believe my little grumpy chihuahua, Daisy, loves Marisol and her daughter. All the pictures showed her happy and giving the “chihuahua smile.” Marisol and her daughter, with permission, took Rascal and Raleigh on trips with their dog to the park. The video showed Rascal happily bouncing in circles around Marisol. They watched our 4 Pack for the last 30 days of our trip to Europe and while we missed them terribly we knew they were safe, happy and loved.”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“Erica was amazing! My dog is afraid of strangers and he was having a blast at her place on the first day. I was worried he wouldn't want to come home he had such a good time. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated on what he was doing. I'll definitely come back, I was never worried about Wilson the whole time.”
“We are so happy with Cecilia and the wonderful care she gave our dog, Maple! Maple was taken on multiple walks a day, and we loved receiving a video update each day — it really put our minds at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We came home to one very happy pup and wouldn't hesitate to book with Cecilia again!”
“Thanks again Jennifer for taking care of DeSoto. I am very happy with the service you are providing for him and your kind with a positive aura! We will be using you as our primary, as long as you’re ok with that. Once again, thank you so very much!”
“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”
“I cannot say enough good things about Danielle and her care of my pup! He had such a great time that when she brought him home, he looked as if he were deciding if he really wanted to come home (a first for him!). I am very grateful for her kindness and care of him, and I will definitely be sending him her way next time I leave town!”
“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”
“Excellent service! Provides daily photos and updates. Works great with dogs that are not used to multiple people or dogs. Very accommodating and times/date adjustments. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I want to give back to the dog loving community by using my experience taking care of dogs (and my younger brothers) to help out fellow pet owners in need. I remember how rough it was finding help when I first became a dog owner so I want to help out in any way I can. I am a responsible college graduate who has made a living in customer service and being an assistant. It has molded me into a patient and hard working person who excels in everything I do—especially when I love what I’m doing. I would thoroughly enjoy hanging out with your dogs and because I have an incredibly flexible schedule, I am available whenever you need me! I'm excited to hear from you! I work in downtown San Diego Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 8:30 - 4:30 so I'm able to do early morning or evening check-ins. I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays with weekends off. I live on a homestead in Ramona with plenty of room for other animals. My housemates and I are all very experienced working with a variety of animals including dogs, cats, goats, and chickens.
“We cannot recommend Tricia (and family) enough! We are so sad they are relocating because our dog has never connected with a sitter they way she did with Tricia. But we are also happy for you and wish you much happiness in your next chapter in Oregon! Our great dane has always been very emotionally needy and sensitive, and finding the right sitter and environment for her while we go on long trips has always been a major point of stress.. until we met Tricia. Hurley settled right in and was like one of the family! I think she really loved having all the kids around to keep her company and stimulated. Also want to point out the level of professionalism and organization Tricia brings to the table. She is super duper on top of every aspect of caring for your fur baby, has methods and rules in place for the household/dogs that support a calm clean and organized household. We really appreciate knowing this especially since our dog has certain feeding guidelines to prevent the risk of bloat. We also loved getting photos and check ins every day, and never had to ask for an update, they always came voluntarily :) Tricia and fam are top knotch, highly recommend! Thank you guys for loving our girl so much!”
About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. My schedule is free right now. Currently this is my full time job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dog ! Establishing a routine. Regular feeding times, clean living space, proper exercise, providing fresh water , and following instructions from pet owner at all times !
“Jane was very caring and wonderful to my senior special needs dog. Iggy needed to be fed prescription dog food and to have prescription eye drops twice a day. Jane texted me updates and photos of Iggy that helped me feel less nervous about leaving her a a pet sitter for the weekend. Jane was excellent at taking care of Iggys needs. I will use Jane again for a pet sitter for my special needs senior dog.”

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 Ranchita 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 Ranchita.
<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 Ranchita 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.
