“Shannon is exceptional!! Our pup loves being with her and her family and she's always well taken care of. Shannon sent photos and videos and we can tell that our girl loves her (ears back, smiley face, stubby Frenchie tail wagging). Shannon is a great communicator, organized, friendly, accommodating, and overall, just wonderful!! Thank you Shannon, for taking such good care of our girl again. We had no worries at all on our trip!! We appreciate you! :)”
“For our pup’s first Rover stay we couldn’t ask for anyone better than Sharon. Our doggy can be a worry wart and pretty anxious, but she seemed to handle him with ease and gave him all the attention he needs. She sent us pictures everyday which was super helpful and sweet. Sharon will definitely be our go-to for future bookings! Thank you Sharon!”
“Amy and Justin are great! This is the second time we have used them and they always taken great care of our boy. We got daily photos and updates. Toby got to play with different dogs and was tired when he got home which tells us he had a good time.”
“How do I rate Robert? He is like a warm hug! This was my first time boarding my 8mo old puppy and, even though I've had dogs my whole life, I rarely left them in the care of others so I was anxious leaving Charlee with anyone, let alone someone I didn't know. I had several conversations with Robert prior to meeting him, expressing my concerns and admitting I was a self proclaimed "helicopter mom". He met my concerns, questions and scrutiny with grace and kindness. He worked with me on an ever changing schedule and reassured me that Charlee would be in good hands. During a short meet and greet it became evident that Robert just gets dogs! He is a dog lover that understands their needs and simply enjoys their company. This was especially important to me as Charlee can be a challenge. Charlee is a Border Collie/Aussie/Kelpie and Cattle dog mix. At 8mo of age, she is all puppy and all energy but also very sensitive and nervous in new situations. Robert was excited for the challenge and understood her breed mix so he knew what to expect. Well, Charlee immediately connected with Robert at the meet and greet and within minutes they were romping around together in his enclosed backyard. Their interactions showed me she would be in good hands. She eagerly went to him when I left her for 2 days a week later. Robert was professional, accommodating my needs while providing great care and a loving, safe home to Charlee. He sent photos and updates on her activities, took her for walks and treated her like his own loved companion. When picking her up, it was obvious that Charlee and he had developed a close relationship. This was especially important to me as I know many people can provide a place to dog sit, but I wanted more for Charlee. I wanted a home away from home vs a kennel environment and that's what he provided her. I plan to have Robert watch Charlee when the need arises, or maybe just for playdates with her new buddy. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Robert.”
“Joe and Patti are so great! They took really great care of our older dog Koda. Sent us several pictures and really made us feel comfortable. So happy to have found them!”
“Pranavi has been awesome. We recently had some complicated travel plans and she was amazing and worked with us and our family to coordinate dropoffs and pickups. Plus, our dog is excited every time we drop her off.”
“Sara is awesome!! Pepper was very well taken care of during our week long vacation. We received pictures and videos of him almost every day, which was so nice and always put a smile on our faces! She has a large property for dogs to play, and even a few goats Pepper learned how to herd ? Thank you for a wonderful week, Sara!”
“Alyssa was wonderful. Accommodations are 5 star and the love and care she gave our fur baby was also 5 star. We enjoyed our 2 week visit to my family so much more knowing Maple was taken care and loved while we were gone. Alyssa also sent us photos which we really enjoyed getting. Highly recommend and will never take Maple anywhere else now that we have Alyssa as a resource.”

“Another 5 star stay! My plans changed several times due to the weather and Derek and Leslie accommodated them with no problem. Sierra came home happy and tired from playing.”
“I’ve never had a better experience leaving my dog with someone like I did with Blaze! Mia barely wanted to come home at the end of the trip and truly seemed like she was at home with Blaze 10/10 would recommend, honestly won’t ever leave my dog with anyone else as long as Blaze is around thank you so much!!”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“I left my German Shepherd, Buddy, with Lori and Mike, and they did an excellent job watching him. They have a nice enclosed backyard where Buddy enjoyed frolicking and exploring. Buddy is an older dog and has some extra needs, including medications, and all his needs were well taken care of. Buddy came home happy and mellow as usual. I will definitely use their services again should I need them.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in River Pines 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 River Pines 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 River Pines.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in River Pines. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your River Pines 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
