“Hana was great. She took care of my little kitten like her own. She kept updating me with pics every few hours. She answered all of my messages fast. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is on top of things I recommend her 100% percent. :)”
“April is absolutely amazing! She was so accommodating with having my cat stay at her place! My cat, Rosie, had her own separate room that was cleaned often to keep away from the dogs and Rosie had such a fun time! April would send updates and videos whenever she was able to do so! She also would make sure that none of the dogs would be around my cat and would make a effort to spend time with Rosie and play with her and stick to her food schedule! I will definitely be rebooking with April for future cat sitting!”
“She was so great with Nola and made her feel comfortable and at home during her stay. Nola can be shy with new humans but all of the videos she sent showed her happy wagging tail!”
“Rodney and Christine were so wonderful to work with, we appreciated how quick they were to respond, their updates and care with taking care of our dog, as well as their flexibility. They were so kind and easy to work with and really helped us out with a last minute reservation and some delayed travels. We highly recommend them as people who are kind, reliable and loves animals. We look forward to using them in the future!”
“Rosalyn is awesome! She is always available, whether it's just a day or 2 weeks vacation, or holidays, or a last-minute notice for daycare. Most importantly, Tommy loves her and loves to go to her house! I enjoyed seeing the cute pictures and funny videos she sent, seeing my baby happy with other dogs either at the house or on a walk. She's also very flexible on her schedule, helping me to pick up and drop off Tommy whenever I need. Her house is a doggy wonderland, very spacious and super clean! It feels good that you have a sitter you can trust when you are away from your fur baby. I know she will treat my baby like her own. Thank you, Rosalyn!”
“This is our 2nd time booking with Andrea and she is the best! She’s kind, caring, and gave a lot of love to our doggy. She updated us with a lot of pictures and videos, we didn’t have to worry on our trip knowing our Archie is in good hands with Andrea.”
“My pups had a 1night stay with Vicky & I can tell had a blast! Huge backyard for playing and lots of cuddles on the couch. Thank you so much for the constant pics and updates !! Thank you Vicky!!”
“We had a great experience with Marissa as Jynx’s dog sitter over the holiday. She communicated with us and made sure we knew how Jynx was doing. Jynx can be sensitive to loud noises, and Marissa was incredibly attentive and comforting when Jynx was scared. The pictures she sent of Jynx enjoying herself were such a thoughtful touch and reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We would happily book Marissa again and highly recommend her.”
“Meena was great! Taking care of Milo 🥰 She provided him love and care Milo is 1.5 years old, he usually gets nervous around strangers., but Meena was awesome to ease him up in no time. We appreciate that Meena kept us updated while we were away. Thank you, Meena🥰”
“Thank you Allen and family for caring for Athena. Allen has great communication skills from the beginning of my booking until complete. My almost 13 year old Jack Russell was well taken care. Allen sent me multiple pictures of her 1 night stay. I will definitely use Allen again.”
“Priyanka did an amazing job with our large breed and made her feel at home while meeting all of her needs. She gave us consistent updates with pictures and videos over the two days we were out of town. Priyanka would contact us if she had any questions or if she needed clarification. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and capable sitter.”
About: My mother raised me alongside a puppy in an area dense with wildlife. Along with our growing dog, we often had rodents, birds, or stray cats to take care of. In high school I took care of mice, and owned two sets of rats. The dog I was raised with passed at age 20, and I am experienced in taking care of senior pup needs. I'm currently working part time, and my ideal days to hang out with your pets are Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This will be the case until college starts again in the fall. I have a fenced in home as well as lots of access to pet supplies. I love all parts of animal care, whether it be active play or just snuggling on the couch. Having a senior dog, I am also experienced in handling minor medical situations.
“Amirah was so wonderful to our dogs. One of my pups was sad and wasnt eating well and she did everything in her power to make him feel loved and went the extra mile to make sure he started eating again. I 100% recommend her to watch your fur babies and would use her again!!”
“Brittany is awesome! I almost want to gatekeep her but as a fur mom, I want everyone to experience the peace of mind I had while Brolin was staying with Brittany. Brolin had the best time, and as we were driving away from Brittany’s home, I caught Brolin looking back in longing. I’m pretty sure he can’t wait to stay with her and her family again. I really appreciate the frequent updates she would send and how welcoming she was to Brolin. It was so positively special, it’s like he belonged there. I rarely leave reviews and only do so when I absolutely feel like Brolin was in a safe place where he really enjoyed himself. I highly recommend!”
“Winston and Charlie had another successful trip. Rebecca is such a loving and caring person; my boys love exploring her place and being on vacation. Sometimes they act as if they wouldn’t mind never returning home! Thanks, Rebeca 🌟”
“I had a great experience, especially as a first time user of the app. She was very communicative throughout the process and check-ins. My little pup seemed to be enjoying his time . I would definitely cook again”
“I booked her from 5:30 AM to 6 PM and she did an outstanding job taking care of my pup. She took him on a nice walk, made sure he was well-fed, and kept him engaged with playful activities throughout the day. She also sent updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was at work. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I truly appreciate the care and energy she put into the day. Definitely booking with her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rubidoux
John and Julie are awesome. They went above and beyond to make our two dogs, and us, feel comfortable and secure. Our two dogs immediately picked up on their good vibes and acted as if they had been there a thousand times before. We will definitely be looking for their availability in the future if we need a place for our dogs to stay.
Pretty sure Nutan and Garrett broke our dogs. We dropped off two high-voltage, 60+ pound wrecking balls for a quick weekend, and in return, we were handed back two comatose velvet hippos. We were the ones who went to Vegas, so explain to me why our pit bulls came home looking like they just closed down a nightclub at 6:00 AM and gambled away their life savings. They didn't twitch a muscle the entire afternoon or evening, just collapsed onto the carpet like decorative meatloafs and snored in stereo. Ruined our entire evening plan of being tackled into the drywall. If you want sitters who will run your couch sharks into utter, blissful submission, Nutan and Garrett are the culprits. 10/5 stars.
We had such a great experience with Kristina! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having someone else take care of Mochi, so naturally we were a little nervous. Kristina went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and reassured the entire time She constantly sent us pictures and videos, kept us updated, took Mochi on walks, and was always super responsive whenever we checked in. It was so nice being able to see how happy and well cared for Mochi was while we were away We’re so happy we chose Kristina and would absolutely book with her again! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pup like their own
My second time leaving Gussy under Kathy’s care. He went on a bike ride, got in the pool and had the time of his life! I feel so incredibly grateful to have met such a great family to watch him while I’m gone. Thank you so much Kathy can’t wait to have you sit gussy again!
This is Chewies second time with Afton. We love her. She is just awesome and Chewy feels very comfortable and secure. We are very happy with Afton and will continue to ask specifically for her. We feel Chewy is in a happy, safe, loving place. As long as Afton is available, Chewy will have a great place to stay. Thanks Afton. You make it easy to take a vacation and not feel overwhelmed with concern about our precious Chewy.

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 Rubidoux 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 Rubidoux.
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.
You and your Rubidoux 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.
