“Angela creates such a comfortable environment that my boy Bishop walks around like he's at home. She provides a serene indoor and outdoor space, and my baby loves it. Thanks again Angela, you're the best! x3 🫶🏿”
“Being my first time utilizing a dog sitter, hours nervous and apprehensive Alexis made it so easy and the communication was great and she sent pictures while I was away and made the whole experience easy and beautiful. More importantly, my dog Maddie had a great time I think she was on vacation.”
“She was just wonderful! She sent pictures almost everyday we were gone. Most importantly, my babies were so happy. Not just that we were home, but in general happy. They had no fear or worry when they came home, didn't act traumatized in anyway. She loved them like her own. Highly recommend Julie!”
“Ann and her husband are AMAZING! Left my extremely attached Doberman for the first time ever and we both were feeling very anxious but they made the whole process as stress- free as possible! My boy was so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend them and will continue to book with them!”
“Martha was great with Bagel during his 5 night stay. He loved playing with her dog Benji's toys and had so kuch fun. I could tell from the pictures that she shared. I would definitely book Martha again. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Derek and Leslie. There quick responses to the messages, sending pictures of your dog and giving updates on the daily activities makes us feel happy and relaxed. Thanks for the help.”
“Very grateful for Doh. Peaches was in great hands while I was away for my wedding. I’m also happy she socialized with the other dogs, and was fed very well as she would have trouble eating with previous boarders. I truly would rebook her again.”
“Jasmine was absolutely amazing! She has a great backyard for the dogs to run around. She sent pictures and videos everyday and Shasta always looked so happy. I will definitely be contacting Jasmine again to care for our sweet girl!”
“Melo is always so excited to stay at Wyne’s! Wyne is very communicative with daily updates, we can travel for close to a week and know our boy is safe. It’s a mini vacay for our dog, he has so much fun with all the dogs. Thx Wyne!!”
“Kendra is so sweet and welcoming to both humans and their fur babies. I didn’t worry one bit while I left my little pup Liam with her. She just has this calming aura about her where your pet just feels safe. She is very accommodating, followed directions, and communicated every day with me on how the sit was going. I’ve already recommended her to 2 other people and will use her again in the future. Thank you Kendra!”
“Laura always makes me feel comfortable leaving my furry friend with her when we go on trips . She always sends me pics so I can see how my pet is doing. It is comforting knowing my pet is in good hands with Laura. Thanks again, Laura! Until next time 😁”
“I can't recommend Serena enough! She took care of my English lab, Bear, and truly went above and beyond. She showered him with love and attention, making sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. The best part was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent so many pictures and updates, so I never had to worry. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and caring for your pet, Serena is the perfect choice!”
“My spoiled fur baby, Smokey, felt right at home with Daniella. Smokey loves being near people so it was a real treat for him to be the only dog. I appreciate how well he was taken care of and am looking forward to next time.”
About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.
“Ani took SUCH amazing care of Maisy! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I honestly felt bad picking her up because she has so much fun with them! I will absolutely use Ani in the future!!”
“As a sitter myself, I really value someone who’s communicative, kind, and understanding, and Johnna is all of that and more. My dog is a little eccentric, and she was incredibly patient and attentive in learning her quirks, making sure her needs were met, and keeping us updated along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and truly appreciate her so much.”
“Abraham took care of Ginger on very short notice, and we are incredibly grateful for his help. He sent us pictures of her, and it was clear that she was having a great time. When Ginger came home, she went straight to sleep, which shows how much fun she had playing all day. Thank you, Abraham! We will definitely be booking again.”

Melissa is an awesome caregiver. Her home is cozy and her kids are playful with my German shepherd. I received updates daily while I was abroad. Totally 10/10, would recommend for anyone to trust with care with your furry friend. Brownie points for her for being so flexible at the last minute to accommodate my little guy. Thank you again for your help!
Over the last 6 years we have tried many boarding options and all of them have done a great job however this is the first time we felt that we found another home for Leo at Britany and her family. It looks like they are not doing for the money. They took care of Leo like their own home member. Highly recommend. Thank you Brittany and family for all the love and care!
Josue looked after Stone for a week while we were having a trip. We have a meet and greet first before the boarding begins. Josue and his wife are very nice and sent me updates almost everyday. Stone like being there and we definitely would rebook again when future needs arises. Thank you.
Coryn always does such a wonderful job taking care of Nova! Nova always leaves tired but happy & I can tell she genuinely enjoys being there. This was Nova’s second time staying with Coryn for a week & I know we will choose her to watch Nova again every time we have a vacation! Thank you, Coryn!!
Colleen is great! She and her partner take wonderful care of my senior dog, Bailey, and have been understanding and accommodating of Bailey’s increasing needs due to her age. Colleen always follows all of my care instructions, sends pictures and updates, and asks clarifying questions to make sure that Bailey is comfortable and well taken care of. She is also extremely reliable regarding booking and pick up/drop off arrangements, which is so helpful. I really appreciate the peace of mind in knowing that my pup is well taken care of when I need to travel.
Jataveya accepted our last minute request to watch our dog Phoebe over the weekend. I appreciated her quick response and continued communication as we coordinated dropping her off and picking her back up. She stayed in communication with us while we were out of town, letting us know how Phoebe was doing. I would recommend her to others.
Cliff was wonderful with our dog. It was our first time using Rover and he made our worries subside by meeting him first and going over what their day would look like. Finn enjoyed many days at the park, river and playing with other dogs. Cliff sent messages and pictures through his 19 day stay. Do not hesitate to hire Cliff!
Jamie did a great job taking care of our Goldendoodle while we were away on vacation! She was very responsive with messages and sent a few pictures and updates while we were away. We were able to schedule a meet & greet before our trip which was great. Jamie has a beautiful home with an awesome backyard for the dogs to have fun in. We definitely trust Jamie to take care of Cooper again in the future!
Ann was wonderful! Our pets were welcomed into her home and taken such great care of! She and her husband are very kind and warm and knowledgeable about dogs. The dogs seem happy to be home but very unstressed after a 10 day stay. We already have our next visit booked!
My 2 year old Great Dane puppy had a blast being a part of Katy’s pack for 6 days. Her communication was great and she sent lots of updates. They worked on basic commands and he got lots of cuddles. This was the longest I’ve left my pup in someone else’s care and it went far better than expected.

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.
95% of sitters in Rancho Cordova can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Rancho Cordova 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 Rancho Cordova.
<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 Rancho Cordova 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.
