“I truly can’t recommend Hyo Yi highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bodhi, and seemed to genuinely love spending time with him. She also sent photos and a detailed update about him every day of our trip, which I really appreciated. Bodhi came home so happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her dog sit for us again! 🤍🤗”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“I had a family emergency and needed someone to watch my cat the same day with short notice. Benny and Jenny took in Artemis without hesitation and was on top of everything for him. It’s obvious they love pets and have a beautiful cat paradise type home for your kitties. I highly recommend these two as pet sitters no matter the situation. Will be coming back to them.”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”
“Emily took great care of Bailey, was attentive to her needs, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Bailey seemed happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We really appreciate the care she gave Bailey and would definitely book with her again!”
“Suman took wonderful care of Murphy for 4 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated with pictures and videos and was in constant communication, which gave us great peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing Murphy was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Annie is amazing and so good with our dog. We’ve never left our pets with anyone and she made us feel at ease and comfortable leaving him with someone we trust. Also takes great action shots of our boy.”
“Michelle was great with our dog. She sent pictures frequently and gave us updates. She was flexible and accommodating when we missed our flight and ended up coming home later than expected.”
About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love them, especially Golden Retrievers. My friends and family trust me with their dogs because I actually enjoy spending time with them. I hang out with them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention. I don’t personally have a dog at the moment because I travel from time to time, but dogs have always been a big part of my life. My wife has owned two dogs, and I’ve personally had cats, so I’m very comfortable around animals and caring for them. I’m patient, calm, and good at building trust, especially with pets who may need a little time to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I will personally be the one providing all care for any pets booked through my Rover profile. I’m available mornings and evenings for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I enjoy spending real time with the pets I care for, whether that means going on walks, playing, hanging out, or just keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. Since I live in an apartment, the best fit would be a dog who is house trained, calm indoors, and comfortable using either the elevator or stairs. They should also be able to settle without excessive barking. I’m happy to spend plenty of time with them, play, go on walks, and keep them company. I just ask that they don’t have aggressive behavior, biting, frequent accidents, or destructive habits. A quick meet-and-greet beforehand would be great so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit.
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“Niko had a fantastic stay with Roxy! He had some separation anxiety but Roxy made him feel part of her family and at home right away. Roxy’s patience, affection and understanding of Niko was beyond expectation and I’m SO grateful to have met her to help me occasionally with Niko’s care. I received pictures and feedback of his day and had no issue with communication. Roxy was flexible to my timeline and her place was in pristine condition. A wonderful and interesting person who knows and understands dogs of all breeds. Thank you again for having Niko to enable me to spend time away. Thank you for making him feel right at home 💕”
“Lindsey is a warm wonderful person who wants to provide the best care possible. Our pet had an unforeseen allergy reaction and she did everything she could to get the right vet care and treatment. We still don’t know what happened but the important thing is our fur baby is feeling much better. We appreciate all Lindsey was able to do.”
About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and I am very comfortable around all types. I have volunteered at the Dane County Humane Society as an Adoption Counselor while in college, so I have undergone behavior training for many aspects of dog care. I am familiar with walking dogs on leases, with harnesses, using commands, as well as resource guarding, jumpy/mouthy/mounting behavior, shy/fearfulness, and escape artists. I only use positive reinforcement for training. I have an educational background in genetics and public health, and I am involved in my local religious community as well. I’ve lived in OC for about 3 years now, having moved from the Midwest. In my spare time I’m learning to crochet, and I love playing with my dog Pax, a chihuahua/pomeranian mix whom I’ve recently adopted. I work from home, so am around most of the day, and have a small fenced in patio for potty breaks between walks. I’m a fan of the local dog parks, and will bring your dog there with your permission. I work from home, so my dog gets a minimum of 3 walks around the neighborhood and we often go to a local dog park too after work. I’m rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. My fenced in patio is open for potty breaks, but I usually do a minimum of 3 walks per day around my neighborhood. I’m also happy to bring them to dog parks for socialization. Since I have a dog myself, there will also be plenty of socialization at home.
“We had such a great experience with Gracie! From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and clearly love animals. She took amazing care of my dog River, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure my pup felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the attention to detail and how she followed all instructions perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Gracie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Joaquin Hills
Deborah was wonderful as usual! This was the second time my dogs stayed over a week with Deborah. She and her husband are so sweet with the dogs and really incorporated the dogs into their family. Lucy went out on coffee and office runs. 😄 Kenzi was fussy about her food and pills at the beginning, but Deborah kept experimenting until she found something that worked. She's always super patient and loving with the dogs! Deborah was also super accommodating and kind when I mixed up the drop off time and created an overlap with another dog. My mistake - sorry again, Deborah! Thank you, Deborah, for welcoming the dogs back to your home and taking such good care of them again!
Hyo yi was so great. I book boarding after my puppy had surgery and she was so kind and caring sending updates everyday. Then I booked a week with her and was at peace knowing my puppy was in good hands while I had to travel for work. She has a cat and it was good training to get my puppy comfortable around cats too.
Naari was great. Provides lots of pictures and updates, as well as taking our dog on a lot of fun walks. Communication was great, very prompt. Our dog also had a bit of a incident with another dog at a park, for which Naari was very quick to let us known and take care of the very minor scratches.
Jordan was amazing! It was my first time using Rover and she was so kind and reassuring. Atlas had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. She provided such great communication and pictures while caring for his energy needs and daily living activities. Would 10000% re book her again!
So happy we found Sarah to care for our 2 dogs Moon & Star for a few days while we were on a trip! She kept us updated and sent us the cutest pics. We just know they were in the best hands and were getting all the cuddles they needed. I would definitely use her services in the future😊
Tamia was so sweet and responsive. She kept me updated on my little guy while I was away. Even after receiving him, I can tell he was in good spirits. She took him on walks and was able to stick to his meal plan. I would definitely trust Tamia again with my fur child. Thank you so much, Tamia!

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 San Joaquin Hills 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 San Joaquin Hills.
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.
You and your San Joaquin Hills 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.
