“Kristina was amazing! I have honestly never been so impressed with a Rover sitter! She was fantastic at sending updates and pictures! I know my pup was treated like one of her own because he was really happy and slept like a baby as soon as he got in the car to be taken home... that to me is a sign that he had a blast hanging out with Kristina and the fur baby fam! We will definitely be back!”
“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.”
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.
“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. Every now and then, my grandkids come over so I can spoil them just as much as I spoil the dogs—but don’t worry, they’re gentle, respectful, and love animals too. Your dog will be treated like family here. ❤️ I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, plus a pool area that stays secure at all times. My grandkids visit occasionally, and they’re gentle, respectful, and absolutely love animals—so your pup will always be in a friendly, caring environment. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they get all the love, attention, and spoiling they deserve. ❤️
About: I’ve fostered dogs, senior dogs, cats, and kittens, and I have a dog of my own who means the world to me. 🐾 I treat every pet like my own with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs, and my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away ⭐ I recently graduated from college and am taking a gap year, so I have lots of free time and a pretty flexible schedule. I love having pets as part of my day and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, and I live close to a dog park for extra walks and adventures. I also have a friendly dog who loves having furry friends around. I always make sure each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level come first, so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My girl is always so happy to see Afton, which tells me that Afton takes great care of her. She even takes her on long walks when weather permits. Extremely happy to have Afton and so is my girl.”
“Naydamar was super friendly and very patient with my dog. He is super shy around new people and she took her time with him. She sent photos and a video of his time with her and he looked like he was having fun. Her dog Milo is super friendly and probably made it an easier transition for my dog. Cooper can’t wait for another play date.”
About: What sets me apart from other siters is my open availability for any last minute situations or occasions that may come your way during the week. I also have experience with many breeds, including the most stubborn ones, Im well versed in dog body language, common dog behaviors, and more. Above all, I promise to treat your dog as my own Im currently in the marine corps reserves waiting to become a correctional deputy for rss and I eventually want to be part of the k9 unit so I want to get some on the record experience while waiting :) I'll treat your pets like family in the comfort of there own or my home :) your pets saftey and well being are my top priorities and I will provide a happy, secure and loving environment while your away.
“Moose had a great time with Vanessa. She was flexible with my pick up time, sent lots of very cute pictures and videos and kept me in the loop of what was happening with my puppy. When I picked Moose up, he was tired from playing all day. I would definitely recommend Vanessa to watch your pup.”
About: I grew up in a home where both of my parents were dog trainers and ran a boarding and breeding business, so I’ve been around dogs my entire life and learned a lot about proper care, behavior, and handling. I’m confident with dogs of all temperaments and understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and affection. I truly love animals and always prioritize their well-being. I’m already committed to my 10k steps daily walks, and will be committed to feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every dog like they’re my own. I make sure they stay on their regular routine with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I also send photos/videos and updates so pet parents can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Elizabeth was amazing!! She was a quick responder and I know Leo was loved and well looked after by all the pictures she sent of him! Would definitely book again with her!!”

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,273 sitters in Rubidoux, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
