“This was our first time leaving Lilo, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! We were a little nervous at first, but Susana quickly put us at ease with regular updates, adorable photos, and so much love, personalized care and attention for our pup. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She truly went above and beyond, and we’re incredibly grateful. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Happy, a Chiweenie (Dachshund–Chihuahua mix), with Ms.Li. From the very beginning, communication was great and reassuring. The sitter shared daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us. Happy always looked relaxed, comfortable, and happy, and it was clear he was receiving genuine care and attention. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any stress or worries. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend Ms.Li to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog”
“Nune looked after our two chihuahuas for four nights. We loved the photos she sent of our babies while we were on vacation. We’ll definitely call her again for our next trip.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Stacey spoiled our little guy and even gave us a framed picture of him when we picked him up. We will ask Stacey to take of Harold from now on. He was very happy when we picked him up and adored her backyard and child.”
“The only difficult part of writing this review is finding enough good things to say about Elena. Every interaction, from my first communication to picking up Puck after his stay, conveyed both a love of animals and professionalism. We met first in a local park for a meet and greet, where Elena and I chatted and her daughter played with Puck. I felt really comfortable with Elena’s easy manner and the questions she asked to ensure that Puck would be happy with them. I left in confidence when I dropped Puck off, and the photos she sent made it clear that Puck was happy and well cared for. Her daughter makes for a wonderful added bonus; Elena told me when I picked him up that her daughter made a fort for them, and it was clear in the pics that Puck received lots of play time with his favorite toys. When I picked up Puck after his stay, he was of course happy to see me, but not overcome with nervousness or anxiety. I could see that he felt safe and loved in Elena’s home. When I arrived home, he slipped right back into normal routines without needing decompression time. Thank you, Elena, for providing Puck with a warm and loving home-away-from-home.”
“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.”
“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”

“Barbara was amazing with Sherman! He is always a bit shy at the start and she was very understanding. He warmed up super fast and had a great visit!! If we are in the area again, we will absolutely use Barbara to watch Sherman!”
“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.”
“Basilio was so patient with our very excited puppy and nervous pet parents. Ceasar Milan may have competition! He sent updates and fun pictures. We will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Thank you for your patience and kindness.”
“Yelda has been amazing with Nami! She’s very caring, reliable, and I always feel at ease knowing Nami is in good hands with her. She takes such great care of her and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend Yelda to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ❤️”
“I highly recommend Alyssa! She took wonderful care of Evan for an entire week, making sure he was well-fed, got plenty of walks, stayed active, and received lots of attention. She was professional, communicative, reliable, and always willing to help. She even went above and beyond by picking him up and dropping him off, which I really appreciated! It was clear that Evan was in great hands throughout the week. Alyssa is fantastic with dogs and provides exceptional service. I’ll absolutely continue working with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Elizabeth took great care of my two fur babies! They can definitely be a handful, but she handled them wonderfully and I never received a single complaint. This was my first time leaving them in someone else’s care for an extended stay, so I was a little nervous, but Elizabeth kept me updated throughout the day and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with them again. Highly recommend Elizabeth!”
“Fiona was fantastic! Very flexible, accommodating (had a last minute time change) and communicative - she sent lovely updates of my dog's stay. I would definitely book with her again without hesitation!”
“Laura and Charlie were great with our two dogs Eowyn and Pippin. Eowyn was born with a muscular disorder so she has difficulty walking. They took excellent care of her and sent pictures of both dogs every day. We would definitely board them here again.”
“With our hockey schedule we needed to get a pet sitter for Deke. I was a little nervous but it ended up being amazing. Deke was living his best life being loved on & playing with other dogs. They took great care of Deke and was great with communicating and sending pictures and updates. We will definitely be a repeat client. If you’re local and need a sitter, I highly recommend them. You and your dog won’t be disappointed.”

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in Russ 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 Russ 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 Russ.
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 Russ. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 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.
