“Giancarlo was supper accommodating and took great care of my dog. I wasn't there to drop my dog off, but I was not worried at all. Super professional, would highly recommend :)”
“Sandra was great with Jarvis! She followed all my instructions and kept me updated the whole time. When he had some tummy issues, she let me know right away and followed the updated feeding plan without any issues. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos (including his poop 😂), which helped me coordinate his care. She even noticed little things like Jarvis liking to look at himself in the mirror — something I didn’t know before! She also kept me informed about his naps and bedtime. Would definitely book with Sandra again.”
“Great communication and Zoey seemed very happy there. She stayed for around 10 days while I was traveling and Gianna and her family made Zoey feel very welcome while I was gone. I would definitely have her stay with them again.”
“Harper is an amazing sitter! She replied promptly and and sent us pictures/updates throughout the day. Lulu had a great time with her. We will definitely be booking with her in the future again.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care you give our dog. Thank you for treating her like family and for always being so reliable and caring. We truly appreciate everything you do and feel lucky to have found you!”
About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! AVAILABLE Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday weekend! 11/26-11/29 I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs Availability: Daycare/House sitting - None. Boarding - Dropoff after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking - Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun Availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Message to confirm. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate-trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through the open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!
“Izzy and his family took good care of Marley and Tadashi while we were out of town for 12 days. He was always very responsive and sent pictures on a daily basis. We are so fortunate to have found him.”
“I'm so glad that we found Olivia and Drew! I really appreciate the photos and daily updates on our dog and she looked like she felt very comfortable and right at home! She was very happy and it makes me feel better to leave her in good hands!”
About: Hi! I’m Stef, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys being around dogs. I love giving them attention, affection, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available during the day on weekdays while my child is at school, and I have plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available on weekends depending on my schedule. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with love and patience. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: I have taken care of my cat for 5 years, my dog in India for 4 years and my friend’s dogs for few week. I adore pets and absolutely love taking care of them. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I have a dog in my home country and I stayed with the dog for a few years. Now I am in the US and I am with my cat. My dog even came to the US, so I stayed with my dog then as well. All my friends have dogs and they sometimes bring their dogs to my home and I dog-sit them as well. So I have experience of both worlds, and the good part is my cat is quite comfortable with dogs and other pets because he has been with other pets from the day he was born. I am an expert in giving love and I adore them totally. I have been with different kinds of dogs and cats as well, so I know when they are a bit grumpy, I know what they need at a particular time. I am available on Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday whole day. Tue, wed, Thursday I usually go to office and come around 7:00 pm so available after 7:00 pm Longer stays are possible depending on my availability — just ask! I have a fenced backyard and one calm sweet cat. I have a safe society for dog walking. I have two floors so can keep my cats and other pet separately if needed
“Our dog Cookie had a wonderful time with them! We got updates and photos daily during staying, and we could tell they treated our dog affectionately like their own. Also, Dean is thoughtful, flexible, and easy to communicate. Thanks to them, we enjoyed our vacation worry-free. We'll book again.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”
“Mariana is the best! She was super welcoming for the meet and greet and has a pack of her own... Everything went smoothly including administering meds and walks and dinner. She was very good at following the instructions (I have 2 very geriatric dogs that need a lot of specific attention!) and easy pickup process. I will book her for the future as she is super close by.. Thank you Mariana!”
“Meghan and Jenny were the absolute best! They watched our Dog Squid for nearly 3 weeks while we were in Europe and we got the cutest updates every single day. I honestly think Squid was sad to leave them to come back home. He had so much fun and was so loved. We absolutely will use them again and cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to know your pet is in a loving home while you are traveling.”
“Melody was amazing! This was my first Rover experience since my dog is pretty anxious and can be reactive. Melody gave me updates multiple times in the day, with photos of my dog having such a great time; she took care of Meela very well and had all the space for Meela to roam around. Highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.
“We had a great experience with Lily! She provided regular photos and updates throughout Bean’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. Bean is a high-energy dog, and Lily made sure she got plenty of exercise with regular walks and playtime with her dog, Tofu. Lily was very easy to work with, and we’d be happy to have Bean stay with her again.”

Kimberly went above and beyond for my senior dog while I was away for a long weekend. My sweet boy Ace is 18, so he doesn’t do much other than sleep! However he does have lots of health issues and is a really picky eater, so I was nervous to leave him. But Kimberly made me feel so much better while I was away. When he didn’t want the food I’d sent him with, she shared some of her own dog food and even cooked some other things for him that he liked. When he had an accident and fell into his poop (he has very weak legs from arthritis), she gave him a bath. She sent updates throughout the day every day and it was such a comfort to me knowing what good care she was taking of my sweet old man. I would happily book her services again! Highly recommend!

I will book her for the future as she is super close by.. Thank you Mariana!
We couldn’t be happier with Adrienne and her family! They took such wonderful care of our Tigger during his 3-day, 2-night stay. They treated him like part of their family, gave him lots of attention, took him on walks, and sent us plenty of pictures and updates. Seeing how happy and comfortable Tigger was gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tigger also enjoyed spending time and playing with their dog, Nigel. It was clear when we picked him up that he felt safe, loved, and very comfortable with them. We’re truly grateful to Adrienne and her family for taking such good care of our boy. We definitely found a family we can trust with Tigger and would happily have them watch him again. Highly recommended! ❤️🐾
Darian took great care of our dog and provided regular updates with pictures. She had a great time with him and was well exercised and happy when we got her back. I also love that he only takes one dog at a time, you know your dog is getting lots of one on one attention and you don't need to worry about them being stressed out by some other dog being boarded. I will be happy to use Darian as a dog sitter again in the future.
Rashmi was super accommodating and made the whole experience stress free. Our flight kept getting delayed, so we couldn’t pick up our dog until after midnight. Despite the late hour, she was incredibly understanding and didn’t mind at all. Both the drop off and pick up process were easy and convenient. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Rashmi and would definitely trust her with my dog again!
Katie took amazing care of Happy while we were away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m very particular about who cares for Happy and rarely leave him with anyone, so finding someone I could fully trust meant so much to me. From the moment I met Katie, I felt at ease. She treated him like one of her own and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Happy had an incredible time playing, exploring, and making new friends. It was obvious from the photos, videos, and updates that he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, content, and completely at home. I would absolutely leave Happy with Katie again and again. In fact, I already know I’ll be reaching out to her in the future. Thank you, Katie, for taking such wonderful care of my baby boy and for making this such a positive experience for both of us. And a special thank you to Elsa for her sweet companionship and for sharing these days with Happy—I’m sure he’ll miss her very much...🫶🤗🐾
OMG, I cant say enough about Yorleth!! She was the Best! She took Hefner to the marina and sent pix, he looked so happy having fun :) I will definitely re book with Yorleth-She is a true doggie lover. I always get good sitters with Rover, but, Yorleth was by FAR the Best and My Favorite!!!
Balto was in good hands with Ari & I appreciate him accepting my last minute request! It was my first time booking with rover & leaving Balto with a sitter so the photos & video updates I received were helpful to put my mind at ease & enjoy my time away with family. They all loved the photo with Balto’s smile 😃big plus that he only watches one dog at a time too as Balto is reactive with other animals.

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 Russell City 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 Russell City.
<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 Russell City 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.
