“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets with a variety of needs and personalities. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals with love and attention. I’m comfortable with all breeds, and I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to give extra belly rubs or playtime. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing gentle care, I treat every pet like family. I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine and am available every day of the week. Since I currently stay at home with (1 year old), I can provide your pet with attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will enjoy a calm, nurturing environment where they receive plenty of affection and companionship alongside my little one. I am available at 1:00 pm on weekdays, during early mornings, and at any time on weekends. In my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I provide consistent care that includes scheduled feeding, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring a calm and secure atmosphere. Whether in my own space or your pet’s familiar surroundings, I remain attentive to their routine and comfort, offering both affection and respect throughout the day.
“Anusha provided excellent care for our Nutmeg,(Shih Tzu) while we were on international vacation for 9 days. Great communication, a very welcoming home environment (her kids are amazing in engaging the pets) and plenty of daily updates (videos and pictures ). It was an stress-free experience for us and we had complete peace of mind knowing that Nutmeg was in great hands. Highly recommend Anusha!”
“Jen is so great! She took such good care of our fur babies. She kept us informed on how our dogs were doing and gave them so much love. She made us and our dogs feel so comfortable. We can’t recommend Jen enough!”
“Brian and his family were wonderful with our dog. He’s very communicative and responsive to our needs (both human and canine). Our dog was so happy when we picked him up that we could tell he was well cared for.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we lucked out with Nicki! She was very communicative throughout the booking and sent great updates during our dog’s stay, and she loved on him like he was her own. We look forward to booking her again some time!”
“Rachel and her husband took good care of our dog, Bean. Bean certainly enjoyed the friendship with their dogs too. Thank very much for taking care of Bean during our vacation.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mundo! He’s a very active border collie who needs a lot of exercise, attention, and mental engagement, and they exceeded every expectation. What impressed me most was how thoughtful and attentive Farbod and his wife were. They took the time to ask about his routines and anxiety beforehand, and during the July 4th fireworks they were incredibly patient and comforting when he got nervous. Knowing they were paying such close attention to how he was feeling gave me so much peace of mind. They also sent the best daily updates: lots of detailed messages, tons of photos, and little stories about what Mundo did each day. It was obvious they really got to know him and genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. I looked forward to every update! Mundo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It’s not easy finding someone I’d trust with him, but I would book with them again in a heartbeat. They are absolutely fantastic, and I hope they get all the bookings they deserve. Thank you again so so much for taking such amazing care of my boy! ❤️”
“Petra and her family were absolutely wonderful with our pup Ollie. We got updates and photos throughout his stay with them, and Ollie seemed very happy. Great communication, very easy to work with. We will definitely have Ollie stay with them again!”
“Socks loved his time with Malika. She kept him entertained, took him out to the park, and followed his routine perfectly. Plus, getting constant photo and video updates all day was amazing! That made me feel relaxed, knowing that Socks is in good hands! Definitely will rebook her for future boarding options for Socks. Thanks Malika, until the next time!”
“Quang was a great sitter for my senior dog! He was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and sent me photos. He’s also still responsive while I was on a trip. Would book again and I’d recommend him to my friends.”
“Diana was a wonderful dog sitter! She kept us well updated, had dog bowls, and beds for our pups. She really made their stay comfortable and was super accommodating. She did a wonderful job.”
“Left my pup for 2 nights. He had a great time with Lisa. She has great communication. I got updates throughout his stay. She took him on walks, car rides, and spent a lot of time with him. She also has a cute little frenchie that kept him company. She is very accommodating. I would 100% book with her again. I would highly recommend.”
“Cosmo did really well with Aadya! I got several updates throughout his stay and he always looked so comfy and happy in each photo. Appreciate Aadya taking good carr of my pup. I highly recommend.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Sky! She sent me photos to show how Sky was doing and kept us informed of her well-being. We would definitely book her again next time we are in need of a pet sitter :)”

First time booking with Tracey. She is friendly, responsive, and flexible. Our Havanese is a very picky eater, and Tracey went above and beyond to make sure she ate. She also provided photos daily. We would highly recommend Tracey and would definitely book with her again.
Wendy was excellent with my dog & 2 cats. They took a liking to her right away. She always text me to let me know how my babies were doing. We will definitely be using her for our upcoming vacations. It was nice knowing that animals were definitely in great hands🩷
Stephen and Val take such loving care of my dog and treat him as though he was their own. I was out of town for two weeks and didn't worry about Koda at all as I could see from the photos and videos Val sent that he was having a wonderful time playing with their dog Luke in their huge, lovely backyard. Highly recommend!
We used Deepika for the weekend and couldn't be happier. Our dogs were safe, happy, and well-cared for. We especially appreciated the (frequent photo updates and communication). It was clear our doggies felt right at home. We will definitely be using Deepika again and highly recommend her services!

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 Rucker 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 Rucker.
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 Rucker 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.
