“Kadyn was a fantastic caretaker for my pup. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She regularly updated me with photos and he seems to have had a wonderful time. Thank you, Kadyn!”

“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”

About: I grew up having always at least two dogs at a time. I raised a few puppies my self, which are now very well behaved and the most loving dogs. Growing up, we were breeding grate Danes, what makes me very experienced with large dogs. I am honest, reliable and caring. Every dog needs a different kind of attention, and I will get to know your dog very well and give him the attention and exercise he/she needs. At the moment, I have two dogs myself, Lucy and Rue, both Australian stumpy tail cattle dogs with tons of energy. Hire me and your dog will be a happy and relaxed dog when you come back from your trip! My availability is pretty flexible - so just hit me up and let me know what your needs are, I can make most schedules work. I have a fenced yard but am a big advocate for long walks around the neighborhood! Inside the house I’ll provide individual care - every pet is different!
“This guy knows everything, has ample different facilities to give the dogs an enriching vacation, whatever their specific needs. I'll be going out of my way to come back next time”

“Was able to accommodate a last minute request. My dog was calm and nothing was amiss (medical needs dog). Great communication! 2nd time I’ve used Audra and will continue to use for further boarding stays :-)”


About: Wah Gwaan! My Name is Ronley and I just moved to California from Jamaica! I am a dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs. In Jamaica, I helped run a kennel with more than 35 dogs at a time and regularly worked on basic training and behavior. I was never formally certified because certification was not required there, but I gained years of real-world experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Since moving to the U.S., I’m excited to get back into the dog world. I love everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I bring lots of energy, patience, and love to every dog I care for. I currently work part-time and am available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with additional availability depending on the day as I work Nights. During my off-season, from November 2026 through March 2027, I’ll have full-time availability for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime! Safety is always a priority for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision, and make sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I also respect every client’s home and treat their pets like family.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“10/10!!! We were so nervous because we haven’t been away for a weekend without our dog and thought she would be depressed without us. But so glad we found this app and Veronica is the best! Kept us updated with our dog and sent videos! Would definitely recommend her!”

“Rex had such a fun time with MJ during his first stay, I booked him again for a weekend stay while I headed out of town. MJ was great like last time, very professional and trustworthy. His yard gives Rex (and other dogs) a great opportunity to run around and stretch his legs or just lay in the shade of the large trees. MJ has been very reliable and I highly recommend for dog (large or small). Thanks MJ!”

“This review is a little tardy but well worth writing. Like most fur babies owners we are overly concerned with the wellbeing and safety of our babies. Farin had our babies this past weekend and she delivered what she promised. Photos multiple times during the day were sent to us. I could tell my babies were being well taken care and having fun! They came home happy and exhausted from their little vacation away from us. I highly recommend Farin to provide care for your fur babies!!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and treat every pet like family. I enjoy giving pets plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and a comfortable environment while keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets staying with me. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate your pup’s individual routine and needs. Our home sits on 3 acres, including approximately 1 acre of fully fenced backyard space where dogs can safely enjoy plenty of room to play and explore. We also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves having four-legged friends around! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a safe, welcoming home environment with plenty of supervised outdoor time. Our property includes approximately 1 acre of fully fenced backyard space where dogs can safely play and explore. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who enjoys having canine companions, and I make sure all interactions are safe and appropriate for each dog’s personality and comfort level. For dogs who need additional exercise, I can provide supervised off-leash play in the fenced yard as well as leashed walks around the property. I take the time to get to know each pet individually so they can feel comfortable, secure, and at home during their stay.
About: ( I do ask each owner to bring their crates for each pet, for their safety ) I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as a teenager, decided to try to get back into it since I’m free most of my day. I can play feed and walk them for their daily activities. Doesn’t matter what age I’ll keep them entertained:) I’m currently a free all day. Have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Whether it’s walking, feeding, &playing with them. They have my attention. ** Starting 05FEB24 I won’t be able to take in medium sized dogs for a while due to some upcoming medical follow ups. Once I’m able to get back to it I will update my profile=} ** I have a fenced yard big enough to keep them running. One male small dog that’s neutered and crate trained. Very friendly once he meets and gets close to others. And the most friendliest yet shy cat. I do ask for crates ! So please bring a crate for your pet ! It’s for their safety as well as all other pets in my care !
“My baby had a blast! He’s usually a lazy sleepy type of guy but he was out swimming enjoying his lil life! His stay was perfect! I got multiple updates and videos of him Throughout the day! Definitely will be coming back really soon!”

“I have been meaning to find another Rover dogsitter for my GSD but many Rover sitters do not take in large breed dogs. I found Casey online, she confirmed she will take a GSD so we arranged a meet and greet first so I could see how my dog was reacting to the environment and other dogs. That went fine, so I booked a 4 night stay recently. I was so pleased with how Casey took care of Pipa, she sent me a photo, gave me updates on how Pipa was doing and everything went really well. Casey let Pipa sleep at the foot of her bed and I think that made my dog feel really secure and she played well with the other dogs. Great stay and I was very pleased all around.”

“Excellent pet sitter! Rocky and Roxy were very well cared for, and we received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout their stay. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. They came home happy and relaxed. We highly recommend and will definitely use her services again! Thank yoi!”


About: Ive always been an animal lover who has treated animals as their own. They have feelings, they’re no different than us and deserve all the love in the world I have a normal 7-4 work day. I’m usually always looking for walks after work and I’m home no later than 4:15pm. Playing with my own pets makes me so happy and that’s what I look forward to every day I care for them extremely well. I’m kind of an anal person so the cleanliness of it all has to be 10/10. I clean daily, multiple times a day and make sure their foods and waters are always fresh
“Christine was just all-around awesome! She's super flexible and easy going and she took great care of my dog. Her dog, Sadie, is the sweetest pup I've met. I'm definitely going to go back to her every chance I get!”

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 Riverdale home-away-from-home, 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 Riverdale.
<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 Riverdale 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 , 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 .
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.
