About: I was an ER vet in NM, CA & IL for 28 years. Rehab vet for the last 12 years. Semi-retired now. All the skills except training. I'm currently semi-retired. No more 12 hour work days. No more 6 day work weeks. But I still want to do what I love doing around dogs and cats and their owners. I have a cat named Oliver. He needs medication twice a day, so I will need to go check in on him while pet sitting. I'm also a night owl if you need someone later in the day.
About: I’ve had Golden Retrievers my entire life and currently have two of my own, Ace and Cider :) Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I have experience with puppies through senior dogs. I understand the importance of providing plenty of exercise, attention, patience, and loving care so every dog feels happy and comfortable Pet care fits perfectly into my life right now! I recently finished playing professional basketball overseas, in Australia so I have a very flexible schedule until my next season begins. I have plenty of time to give your pet the love they need. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers with a big backyard. I regularly feed them in the mornings and nights, take them to the park for walks, and spend lots of time training them. It's so rewarding to see them grow and thrive with the care and attention they deserve! I always make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to other people's pets as I do for my own. I ensure that they are fed, given proper exercise, and of course, get all the pets and treats they deserve. It's all about making sure each furry friend feels loved and well taken care of!

About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄

“Nicole is truly one in a million! From her sweet demeanor to her love of animals-we were immediately comfortable leaving our precious (and VERY spoiled) pups with her. We received messages twice daily with pictures and we loved it because we have a very senior golden we were apprehensive about leaving. Nicole made sure he got his meds and our dogs absolutely LOVE her! Nicole is amazing!”

“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”

About: I’m an experienced, intuitive dog caregiver who blends calm confidence with playful, genuine affection. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m especially skilled at reading body language, easing anxiety, and building trust with shy or energetic dogs. My hospitality background shows up in the way I communicate clearly, stay organized, and anticipate both the dog’s needs and the owner’s peace of mind. Whether it’s maintaining routines, handling medication, managing multi‑dog households, or keeping high‑energy pups happily engaged, I bring steady reliability and a warm, joyful presence that dogs connect with right away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part‑time on weekends and I’m on summer break from school. I have plenty of open time during the week for walks, drop‑ins, and longer visits, and I balance my weekend job with consistent pet‑care hours. This flexibility lets me give each pet focused, reliable attention and maintain steady routines for kittens, senior cats, pregnant cats, and dogs alike. I provide a calm, stress‑free environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I offer a quiet space with no children, a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a relaxed atmosphere where pets can settle in comfortably. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I focus on safety, consistency, and creating a peaceful experience for each pet.

“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual.

About: I have been a caregiver since 2006. I started with after-school care, and house sitting. I started doing drop-ins for my neighbors when they would go on trips. Their dogs recognized me so they trusted there wouldn’t be any trouble when I came in. I like knowing friends and family rely on me. It gives me a sense of purpose, to know that people in my community can ask me for help. I like taking out the cans to the street on pickup day, getting mail and packages for them. I am still doing drop ins for families. I am willing to stay over or do drop ins. I’d be happy to walk your dogs. I have cared for dogs, cats, turtles, horses, chickens, & newborn kittens. I currently care for two dogs. they are my best friends. I buy them bones, & toys, and play with them. I dont mind the fur and dirt. I give them both alot of love and I feed them regularly. I am able to do drops ins after work I prefer caring for pets in clients home only because I’m renting and pets aren’t allowed here. I hope to be able to find a pet friendly place in the future so I can care for pets in my own space.

About: I am a certified Veterinary Assistant and was Pre-Vet in college. I have volunteered at the animal shelter and fostered pets since I was in middle school. I have always had a passion for animals and even though I followed my love for children and education for my full-time career endeavor, I still enjoy volunteering and fostering via the shelter whenever I can. I adore pets and enjoy spending time with them. I have plenty of time after work, weekends, summers, and eve some holidays! I love taking my own dogs on long walks and to the dog park to meet new friends. I treat all pets like family, which is why I am one of the go-to foster parents to help socialize new animals brought into the shelter. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door that stays in, so pets may enter and leave as they please. They are welcome in every room and can hop on the couch to cuddle and watch a movie.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Running Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Running Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Running Springs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 pet to the closest veterinarian.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
