“It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous about finding the right person. From our very first message and setting up the meet-and-greet through to picking up our dog, Jade, Elyssa was friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving Jade in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We really appreciated the communication and updates, and Jade came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Kara was wonderful with my pup Finn. She sent daily updates and videos. I was not aware she also did pet daycare but Finn loves other dogs so it was not an issue. He ran and played hard at Karas as he slept for hours once he got home. I will be booking again.”
“Our Frenchie Iceman had a blast! Although a short visit ReShan went above and beyond to make him feel at home and even fit in his walks! ReShan has so much experience and puts so much love, detail and care into every aspect of making sure your experience is one to remember! Additionally he offers pick up and drop off which was so very convenient! His service is truly too tier.”
“Jennifer and her kids were so sweet. They treated my pups like they were their own. I got photo updates from her daily which helped me not to miss them so much. I could see from the photos that they were happy, well cared for, and got lots of attention! I would 100% recommend Jennifer and her children to pup sit.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life — all 40+ years of it. Reading a dog's mood, sticking to their routine, and knowing when something's off is second nature to me, not something I just picked up. And at my age, I'm past the flaky stage: I'm reliable, I show up, I communicate, and I treat your dog the way I treat my own. I'm Kristi, 43, from Sanger, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Right now my days revolve around my two dogs — Mina, a 2-year-old pit bull and shepherd mix who's all energy and very food-motivated, and Skai, a husky, shepherd, and lab mix who is 3-years-old and the mellow one. Between the two of them, I'm used to every kind of dog day: high-energy play, slow couch time, and everything in between. I work remotely for work so it makes it easy to be home with them all the time. Your dog joins our normal daily routine — feeding on their own schedule, walks and playtime, plenty of downtime, and a calm place to sleep at night. I have a yard with room for more dogs, and I can keep your dog separate from mine if that's a better fit — whether they need their own space or just do better one-on-one. I stick to whatever routine you give me, send you updates and photos, and if anything seems off, I call you right away and get them to a vet if needed.
“Frank and Nancy gave our dog excellent care! They were very responsive, professional, and kind. They sent regular picture/video updates and took our dog on frequent walks. Frank initiated a meet and greet beforehand to meet our dog and that made the drop-off for our dog’s 10 day boarding go so much smoother. We had a great experience with Frank and Nancy and we will be using them again!”
“All I can say is WOW! Was visiting a friend in Fresno and needed a place for my Chihuahua to hang out overnight as the dog and my friend’s cat ate not that fond of each other. What a fortuitous find in Reza. So welcoming. He made everything so easy. He was wonderful at accommodating me at the last minute.Terrific communication—I think I got more pictures and updates on her overnight stay than I’ve gotten in an entire week-long stay elsewhere And his teenage daughter was great with her. And Reza was so understanding when I was late to pick her up. I so appreciate that as I was a little frantic about it and he reassured me it was OK. Highly recommend this wonderful, kind dog sitter. A perfect, worry free stay!”
“My dog Zoey absolutely adores Ashlee! As soon as we turn the corner to her house, Zoey starts with gagging her tail and barking. Ashlee always sends me pictures and updates while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby is well cared for and having a great time playing with Ashlee’s dogs while I’m away.”
“Eric was amazing with my golden retriever puppy. He sent daily updates on how she was doing and I could tell she was in very good hands. I would definitely board my dog with him again.”
About: I have 35+ years experience with all types of animals. I provide different types of services for animals including reiki. I am currently training to become an animal communicator I’m currently working 15 hours a week, 3 hrs at a time. I am home or out walking, hiking or taking my dogs to the park. I have a fenced yard, 2 dogs and a cat to keep your fur baby company. My dogs are crate trained. My dogs also know their commands and I have no problem teaching your pet. Owning a Sphynx has taught me how to funny groom and care for a cat.
“Thanh-Mai did a wonderful job with our three girls, which included a four month old puppy. Puppies are so much more work than older dogs and she handled our little Stella marvelously. We received updates every day about how they were doing with videos and photos. The dogs were so very comfortable with her and in her home. They adjusted easily and this was their first time there. She took excellent care of them and they had fun. Thank you, Thanh-Mai. We are so very grateful to you and James. The girls say thank you as well!!!”
“Wonderful sitter. My dogs love her and we trust her with our fur babies. She sends photos and takes them on walks and just treats them so great. I go to her whenever we need a sitter, for short stays and also for weeks or months at a time. I recommend her highly.”
“Wonderful sitter, took many pics and videos of our boy and even brushed his thick crazy fur out for us. Had constant access to outside and walked him often. Responded quickly! He seemed very happy when he came home!”
“Our first time using rover because we have been pretty skeptical of it but needed a last minute arrangement and we got lucky!! Marissa was great!! Our dog benny had a blast and felt right at home with her. She communicated well and sent all the pictures! We’ll definitely book with her in the future!”

“Breanna and Kevin are very responsible dog-lovers who took care of Yogi like he was part of their family. The picture they sent of Yogi furiously licking Kevin's face said it all! Breanna and Kevin are terrific!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverbend
We were worried about leaving our rescue for the first time because we thought she might think she was left. We were happily surprised that she enjoyed her stay. Becky texted us during our stay which made us feel so much better about leaving her. I’m not sure she would rather have stayed permanently with Becky! We definitely will use her again.
This was our dog’s first time with a sitter, and they were absolutely great. They took the time to figure out his needs, made him feel comfortable, and kept us updated the whole time. Communication was excellent, and we felt confident knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Becky took such great care of Rex while we went out of town for a week. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated with messages on how he was doing and that all was well. Rex was clearly happy and relaxed when we picked him up which speaks volumes to the care and attention he received from Becky and James while we were away. Our thanks to you both for a wonderful experience for Rex (and us). I highly recommend Becky for your boarding needs.

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.
95% of sitters in Riverbend 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 Riverbend 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 Riverbend.
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 Riverbend. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Riverbend 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.
