“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!!! =)”

“Leigh is absolutely the best dog sitter around! My 15-year-old dog does not like to be away from my family, but after a very stressful year, we needed a brief getaway. Leigh watched him with great care and attention and constantly updated us on how he was doing. I highly recommend her.”

“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”

We really appreciated all the pictures they sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was happy and well cared for. They were reliable, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. We would definitely recommend them and would be happy to book with them again!”

“A HUGE thank you to Doug and Marisol for taking the best care of our 2 pug brothers! This was the first time boarding them and from the first moment up to the minute we picked them up we always felt they were happy and well taken care of thanks to the great communication and daily updates! We are so appreciative of the care they received as it allowed us a much needed vacay without worry!”

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.

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: We own a Border Collie, tuxedo cat, chickens, a snake, and a goat. I grew up around animals too and I've learned a lot from my mom and have had the experience not only caring for multiple dogs, but also cats, rats, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, hamsters, snakes, and hermit crabs. I have a sensitive heart for all animals. I promise to take good care of your furry family members so that you can relax and know that they are in good hands. We have a high energy dog, a cat, a snake, chickens and a goat and taking care of them is part of my regular routine. Animal lover here, so I can guarantee that your pet or pets will be given the love, attention, and care that I give my own.

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.
