“We’ve been using Allen for over a year and he’s the best dog sitter we have ever used. My dog does backflips knowing where we’re headed. He walks the dogs consistently, allows them a safe place to run and play, and cares closely for them. I never have a worry when dropping our girl off for days on end. Photos and check-ins are always sent daily. Thank you, Allen and family!! You are truly the best.”
“Kathleen took great care of our dogs! She provided us with plenty of photo and video updates daily and kept us in the loop about the dogs’ day and we really appreciate that. The dogs looked like they had a great time! We highly recommend Kathleen as your next dog sitter! Thank you so so much.”
“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!!!”
“Daysha and Jess took care of our girl Rei really well. It’s a big win for us especially when our girl doesn’t want to eat while we’re away but they made her feel comfortable enough to actually eat her meals! A win is a win and we look forward to using Daysha and Jess in the future!”
“Gaius was absolutely wonderful with my girl Lilith! I was so worried about her during the holiday but she had such a good time. Even made a new friend with his adorable dog He sent pictures and videos and kept me informed of how she was doing.. Prompt with pickup and drop off. Will definitely use him again.”
“Although I've worked for Rover in the past, I was skeptical to leave my baby with anyone else. There is no one like me! That is until I read about, met, and saw where Phyllis lives. Perfect yard and perfect person for my picky Baby "Boomer". I am so pleased with Phyllis. I really appreciated the photos, video, and updates. Very kind and patient. Boomer and I look forward to using her services again. So glad I found her!!!!”
“Excellent experience with Jasmine! She treated our furry kid just like her own. Really appreciated the photo updates, and seeing that our girl was happy, comfortable and was enjoying her new friends. We will absolutely be requesting Jasmine the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommended!”
About: I consider myself as a mature animal watcher and responsible for their needs. As a kid growing up I've had the privilege to be apart of having different dogs and cats around me. I've always loved being around them. My wife also does rover and I help watch after her animals as well as we work as a team. I work from home, so my schedule is very much flexible to where I'm able to give the much needed attention to the pets . Get $20 off your first booking with Rover! Use code CHRISG91201 I have a secure fenced yard and a caring wife and loving daughter who loves pets company as much as I do. We make sure they are well fed, using the yard for potty breaks 3-4 times a day . And asleep at a reasonable time.
“Breauna is the most amazing pet sitter ever. She communicates well and kept me updated about my pet while we were gone. I will definitely rebook with her and recommend others to book with her as well.”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. Great communication, knowledgeable, and overall a great person. She made me feel very comfortable with my decision from the get go and she asked many questions to make sure she knew everything about how we take care of our 4 month old puppy Nova. She helped us maintain training with Nova and gave great advice and tips to make the our training journey smoother. She sent many videos and pictures while we were gone. Nova was as happy as could be and well taken care of. I highly recommend Chelsea if you are looking for someone who truly loves dogs in all aspects!”
“Vanessa and her family were really great with our dog Millie! She sent regular updates and pictures while we were away. Millie was very happy when I picked her up and she clearly loved the family.”
“Darlene was literally the sweetest ever to watch and take care of our baby. I have a feeling my little kitty didn’t want to leave 😂 thank you for all the pictures, love and kindness. I would book again a million times over.”
“This was our first time using Patti and it was such an amazing experience! She updated us daily & even sent pictures of our sweet dog, Piper! I would definitely recommend Patti for your dog-sitting needs!!”
“Wow! Lynn was very attentive from the moment we walked in. I knew Guapo was going to get all the attention and love he needed. We had regular updates and lots of pictures, which reassured us Lynn was the best choice to sit Guapo. We will definitely book with Lynn again! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our Guapo.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and now have a 3 year old rescue dog of my own! She is great with other dogs. I also dog sat for a family during college. Im currently working part-time so Id love to spend more of my hours with animals. I only sit on my off days so I can devote more time to your pet! I do not have a yard but will provide up to 2 daily walks depending on how long your dog wants to explore. I have an indoor crate as well as a 5x10 foot outdoor crate.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Running Springs
Savannah and Dolly watched my standard poodle Zuko for a week. She sent me pictures and updates and has great communication. Zuko is a socially needy Velcro dog and requires a lot of attention. He loved Savannah and her family, and I could tell he was very loved in return.
Savanah was great with her communication with us . Very thorough from beginning to end. We could tell for the start she genuinely cared about our dogs well being. This was our very 1st time using her services and we couldn't have been more happy. Definitely would recommend her and will use her again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Running Springs can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Running Springs 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 Running Springs.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Running Springs. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Running Springs 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
