“First off, April likes to go by Autumn. She was a great sitter for our doggies and I felt confident they would be watched with great care. She is very professional and careful in her daily schedule. She's been professionally training dogs for years as well, so there's that bonus! We will use her again for sure! Thank you Autumn!”
“Emily and Sam, thank you so much. Having Snowball stay with your beautiful family was such a wonderful experience. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! Thank you again Whenever we come back through your area we will definitely book again!”
“Megan did an awesome job with our two dogs. This was there first time be away from home, so at first it was out of there element but she stepped in and took good care of them. I loved that she sent pictures and gave updates on how they were doing. I was glad to hear they were welcomed back. Will definitely book again.”
“Nancy was great, She kept us updated with lots of pictures and took care of our dogs like her own. Her home was spacious and organized for each of our dogs needs. Honestly, I don't think our babies notice we went on vacation.. more like they were on vacation with all the fun they had :) Definitely rebooking!”
“Hana was a great doggie Mamma when we were away for a week. The dogs looked happy and in spite of very hot weather they got in their exercise and usual stimulation and cuddles. Thank you Hana!!!”
“Jeanne took amazing care of my dog, Bruno, and I’m so grateful. She treated him like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated, even when I was busy and couldn’t always respond. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Juan was amazing and flexible… I really appreciated his service and that of Rover. It was my first time using the app and saved me in a pinch. I had to fly and found Juan who was available last minute and came through. My brother dipped off and picked up the dog and said nothing but good things about Juan. Thanks buddy… definitely recommend and will be using him and Rover in the future.”
“Kat was absolutely amazing. My schedule was all over the place and she was more than willing to accommodate me. She frequently updated me with photos and my Benjamin felt right at home.”
“Christine and Rodney were awesome! They were able to help at the last minute when our house sitter had an emergency. We don’t board our dog much, so the steady stream of pics and videos really helped us feel comfortable. Will definitely use them again!”
“Crystal was very kind and amazing with our dogs. She took very good care of them. It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and accommodating. Her backyard is a great and spacious place for dogs to play in. She sent us pictures daily of how our pups were doing. She is a great dog sitter and would definitely recommend her.”
“Our fur baby absolutely loves Julie and John’s house! He gets so excited whenever he sees that we are pulling up to their place.They are so good at sending us regular updates and are very trustworthy. We highly recommend!”
“Chiu was awesome with my dog Mody he kept me updated with videos and pictures of Mody and all the activities he did with him, he even have him a bath, I would 100% recommend Chiu to pet sit your fur baby he is great.”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“Winnie took excellent care of our Daisy. She went on daily walks and we were provided updates with pictures and videos daily. Definitely recommend Winnie if your pet needs a temporary home.”
“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.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rubidoux
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!
Our boy Peter loved his time with Julie! She keeps you up to date the whole time with pics and videos. Our trip was so much more relaxing knowing he was getting one on one attention and not sitting in a kennel at a border. I highly recommend booking and we will definitely book with her again in the future.
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.
<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 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.
