“Allison had my pup for 3 days she had constant communication with me the entire time, provided photos, lots of updates, asked a lot of details about him prior to boarding for the easiest transition possible. You can tell she loves what she does! 10/10 will definitely book again.”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“I’m looking forward to booking again [next year when i stay in town at Great Wolf Lodge] with Debra & Benjamin. Little Zoey is just so sweet and friendly - even on the first face to face zoom meet & greet she wagged her tail - to meeting in-person upon drop off. Immediately, my dogs appeared to feel safe and cozy upon meeting. Their home is set up to accommodate free range indoor/outdoor exploring in a safe fenced back yard/“backwoods” environment. Most importantly - at and post-pickup - my babies seemed calm, content and relaxed. Thank goodness I was able to find Debra & Benjamin to provide quality care! Def recommend”
“Jennifer was great with our girl and sent plenty of updates and got her out and about even with the holiday weekend. Her last minute availability and convenient location came in clutch! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”

“Momo had the best time staying with Sandra! Sandra kept me updated on how she was doing. She made sure Momo got lots of love and attention. It was a great experience for both of us. I got to relax and not worry about how she was doing while I was gone and she got to play and have a great time as well. I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone.”
About: I love animals and I really enjoy spending time with them. I am a responsible, loving and patient person. I make sure that each pet receives the attention and affection it deserves. I can help with food, walks, games, cleaning and company. I understand that each pet has its own personality and needs, that's why I adapt to each one so that it feels safe, comfortable and loved. For me, pets are part of the family and I take care of them as if they were mine. ❤️ I am currently a mom and I have a lot of free time, which allows me to dedicate time, attention and a lot of love to taking care of pets. I am a loving, patient and responsible person. I love sharing my time with the little animals and I hope with great enthusiasm to be able to give them all that love and affection that I have to give. I would like every furry one that is under my care to feel safe, happy and accompanied, as if they were in their own home. For me, they are not just pets, they are part of the family, and they deserve to receive all the love, respect and care in the world. ❤️🐾 I also have a spacious and comfortable space where your pet can enjoy, play, explore and perform different activities. I love that the furry ones stay active, happy and entertained, that's why I like to dedicate time to them to play, share and give them a lot of love. My intention is that you feel free, safe and at home throughout your stay. ❤️🐶🐱

“Grace is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very attentive to them. We were so happy she accommodated our last minute request for our Whisky to stay with her this past weekend.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.
“Enzo showed such great comfort as soon as we walked up to Auntie B’s house. We were sent timely updates and were very grateful to see Enzo in a new environment with his new friends. We are so pleased with our new “”Go to” place with Bridget. She is very attentive and aware of all of the guests in her home. We couldn't be more grateful.”
“Mrs. Rochelle is simply amazing and has a beautiful family that helps her. She is very patient and kind. Our Taz can be a bit rambunctious but she said he did well. She sent photos while we were away on our trip. My grandpups were well taken care of. We will definitely use Mrs. Rochelle again. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”
“Terra was friendly and has a nice family. And my pet was happy when we picked up. Overall very happy with Terra, she even did few FaceTime calls so we can check in on our pet. One request we have is if she can respond to messages quickly, but otherwise no complaints with the service.”
“I can say enough wonderful things about our experience with Melissa and her husband to take up double the space allowed here for this review. It was so comforting for us to know they were well cared for. We were able to relax and enjoy our time in the city. We received many pictures of the dogs having fun and when we picked them up they were definitely worn out. We will book again!”
“Alisha had such a fun time with my dog Maverick. She sent lots of pictures, made sure he got the exercise he needed and was so accommodating to his allergies. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Kyle was a wonderful host for our dog, Teddy! Since it was Teddy's first time staying with someone else, we were understandably nervous. A few days before our trip, Kyle welcomed us to his home so Teddy could meet him and we could go over any questions we had. During our trip, Kyle kept us updated with pictures and regular messages, which really helped ease our anxiety. He always responded to our messages in a timely manner, and it was clear Teddy was in great hands. We are so grateful for the excellent care Kyle provided and will definitely ask him to watch Teddy again in the future. Highly recommend!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Riverbank 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 Riverbank 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 Riverbank.
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 Riverbank. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Riverbank 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.
