“I was so nervous about boarding Kali for the first time but Susana’s pictures and videos brought me comfort knowing Kali was in good hands. From the booking process, Susana assured me Kali would be just fine. When I dropped Kali off, Susana was sitting two other similar bred dogs so I got a chance to watch them interact with each other. Kali is usually my shadow and when we got there she couldn’t care less about me. When I picked her up, she was all played out. If I ever need another sittee, I will definitely return to Susana.”
“Poppy loves staying with Kevin! He takes such great care of her, and sends me pictures and updates. She has a great time, comes home exhausted 😂, and I get priceless peace of mind. Thank you!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Ivy was able to take care of victor again last minute for me. She is always so attentive to victor and sends me constant updates which I love! I got pics of him playing with the kids, they always take the dogs with them if they go somewhere and he just looks so happy all the time when I leave him with her. Thank you so much again Ivy! Victor will definitely be seeing you guys again next time he needs a sitter ❤️”
“Thankfully, Miranda helped us out last minute with taking care of our pup. She responded quickly and gave us updates and pics while we were out of town. Sasha had a good time making new friends! 😍”
“Had a great experience with JJ! My dog clearly had an amazing time and I really appreciated all of the videos and pics of his stay :) communication was great, would absolutely book again!”
“Brian & Jin Seon took care of our toy poodle Charlie when we went out of town for the weekend. They were very kind and sent so many updates of Charlie throughout his whole stay with them. Can’t recommend them enough! Will definitely reach out for their pet boarding services again. ❤️”
“Very happy with the service I received. Photos and videos were sent everyday throughout the day that put me at ease because this was my first time using a boarding service. I recommend Melissa she treated Ace like her own and I appreciate that.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tiffany & her husband. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt safe, loved, and cared for while I was away. Not only did they follow every instruction perfectly, but they also took extra time to give my pup walks, pool-time , and plenty of affection. Thank you again! 🐶 🐾”
“From the moment we saw Tania, I was nervous that Micky wouldn't want to come back home. He adored her, and she made him comfortable. I was scheduled for surgery, so I wasn't sure how long the stay would be. Tania left the time open which was less stressful for me. Tania stayed in touch with us the entire time. I would absolutely request her again.”
“We boarded our pup Yuna with Jane for 5 nights while traveling internationally. We usually leave her with family so we are pretty new to Rover but we instantly felt at ease after a meet and greet with Jane and her sweet dog Mochi. Jane sent tons of updates, photos, and videos and was super easy to communicate with. Yuna looked so happy running around their big backyard, going on walks, and playing with Mochi everyday. I honestly think she was sad to leave! I highly recommend Jane and would definitely book again.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Weihui! She and her husband were incredibly warm and welcoming to both us and our dog from the very beginning. Weihui asked thoughtful questions at drop-off, which immediately gave us confidence that our dog would be in great hands. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with detailed messages, along with plenty of photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how much genuine love, attention, and care she gave our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re truly grateful to their family for taking such wonderful care of our dog. We will absolutely be booking with Weihui again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Irina was incredible with my two dogs, including one who required medication. She kept me updated with photos of them looking completely relaxed and happy. Irina was also incredibly accommodating to my needs for drop-off and pick-up. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Very happy! They took great care of our baby and returned him a happy boy. I was very nervous because this was my first time using Rover. We have only ever left him with friends and family. They understood I was nervous and sent me lots of videos and pics to keep us updated. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”
“Amazingly attentive and communicative! We received pics and updated the whole time and felt 100% confidence our pup was well cared for. We are very lucky to have found Michelle and appreciate that she was able to accommodate us on short notice during a holiday weekend.”
“Shayna was outstanding! She showered our dog with so much love and even helped us with Luna’s skills with walking on a leash. She was extremely communicative and always provided tons of pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Renata is fantastic, she immediately made us and our dog feel at ease by going above and beyond in the service she provides. The updates she sent while we were away always brightened our day, and she made sure to give our little guy lots of love and exercise. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“We had a great experience with Armando taking care of Bolt over the long weekend! From the very beginning, he was caring, attentive, and made sure Bolt was comfortable and well taken care of. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bolt seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked him up, and it was clear that he received lots of love and attention. We really appreciate the care and effort he put into looking after him. We would definitely trust Armando with Bolt again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

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 Russ home-away-from-home, 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 Russ.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Russ 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 , 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 .
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.
