“I dropped my puppy off with Kristina and she was ready for our appointment waiting on the porch. Kristina is very friendly and gave updates on Dutchess stay. She is consistent with helping me potty train her as well. We have only had 1 accident since her stay. We will definitely see her soon.”
“I appreciated the care and love they showed my Lilith while she was in their possession. I am greatly appreciative and would absolutely use their services again. Thank you guys!”
“Crystal sent lots of photos showing how happy and relaxed our little dog was at her home. She happily set up the dog sitting on short notice, had a nice fenced yard, was quick to welcome us and stayed in touch the whole day. This was exactly the smooth, easy sitting experience I needed.”
“Great easy going pet care takers! Good communication and professional! Was sent updates throughout the day and my dog was having a great time! We picked up our dog and he was relaxed and at ease ! Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, and I’m a true lifelong dog lover. My own precious pup passed away last year, and with my home now a little too quiet, I’m here to give your dog all the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I speak fluent “dog,” give elite-level belly rubs, and I will absolutely tell your pup they’re a good boy or girl at least 200 times a day. Your dog will be cared for, talked to, spoiled with affection, and treated like family. I’m a retired PE teacher who’s home daily, which means your dog gets my full attention and care all day long.

“I am so thankful that I have found Afton to care for my girl! Afton takes care of her just as she is her own fur baby. I am very satisfied with the care, attention and love she provides. Even takes her on walks! I will definitely be using Afton when the need arises. So grateful! Thank you Afton!”
“I couldn't be happier with Juan's pet-sitting service! He not only took excellent care of Conchita but also went the extra mile by sending adorable photos throughout the day, providing peace of mind. Juan's professionalism and genuine love for animals make him the ideal pet sitter. Five stars without a doubt!”
“Megan, her partner, and her mom were all great with Luke. I was in town for a wedding that involved 3 different sessions and was so relieved Luke was well taken care of and had other dog buddies to hang out with.”
“Sherleen was an excellent cat sitter. It was an honor to have her watch my fur babies for me. I appreciated all of the updates and communication given throughout the day. I definitely will be coming back and will be recommending her.”
“Winnie is incredibly kind and thoughtful. She took the time to learn about my dog, Zoe, before even meeting her, which I really appreciated. Zoe immediately felt comfortable with Winnie — she played with her and even laid next to her during their time together, which says a lot! Winnie provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely love to have Winnie watch Zoe again whenever I’m not able to. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Very communicative and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay. Great experience and highly recommend. Thank you for taking good care of Mr Oliver!”

Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times.

“The most absolute all in one dog or puppy care an owner can ask for. Professional, loving and caring! A one stop shop for all of your pets needs. I’m a very skeptical and picky person when it comes to care for my loved ones. I felt very comfortable and felt that Blaze was in good hands! No anxiety while at work and plenty of pic's, showing how happy he was while there. I will be using Marissa for all of Blaze’s daycare, boarding, and training needs!”
“Our doggies had a lot of fun and got to play with cute doggies that April had visiting or her own. They were so excited to “tell us” everything they did today, that we are definitely going to bring them back!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rubidoux commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
