“Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶”
“Danielle was AMAZING. Bronx absolutely loved her and her husband. She really took her time to ease in my very timid baby and she was always so patient. Kept me updated with photos throughout the day and always replied to my questions quickly. She was lovely and if I need someone to watch Bronx again it will be her!”
About: I am an experienced animal caretaker for pets with a wide range of needs. I had my own cat that later in life needed subcutaneous fluids, pills, and shots so I am experienced with the trickery of loving care while an animal is in a difficult situation. I have had my own high energy dog who needed a high level of engagement for the first six years of her life while also training through leash reactivity and fear behaviors. With clients I take care to listen to what will make the pet happy and the human(s) happy. My goal is that the guardian will rest assured when your pet is in my care. I am freelancing so I can offer a flexible schedule for your pet care needs. My own dog gets and early morning walk then an afternoon as adventure. She's happy to be flexible for my gigs and open to sharing if that's an option for you once I know your dog well. I have a number of local spots where I enjoy visiting. This area is rich with places to sniff and explore and I look forward to doing so with your pet! I have the option of a crate and personal room for your pet to stay with all the amenities for fun safe pet time
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
“My little dog had a wonderful time with Cecelia and Richard. Their daughter took Daisy on Walks and they sent pictures of Daisy laying in the sun and in the backyard. Thank you! We will book again as needed”
About: My experience growing up with dogs, and working as a Vet tech for 3.5 years gives me the knowledge and expertise to care for you pets as if they are my own! I’m currently in between jobs as a Vet tech, and just recently moved to the Seaside/Monterey area. I’m looking to make pet care my full time job again if at all possible! I have a 2 year old lab/pointer mix at home named Diesel. He is high energy, emotional, but full of love! He loves to explore and go on long walk. I have 2 cats named Asher and Prada, they are a 3 year old bonded pair, but they tend to like their space, and stay in their own room.
“Helen was a great caretaker for my dog! She was quick to communicate, shared pictures of her playing with my dog multiple times over the 2 day watch, and I could just tell me dog was happy and well exercised upon pickup. Would definitely book again! Thanks Helen!”
“Our pet had a fantastic experience with Molly and her family. Molly and her family were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Molly was extremely supportive, accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend Molly, and we will return our pet to Molly again in the future.”
“Jill was a great dog sitter!!! Her and her husband spoiled our Great Dane! . I love that they live next to the dog park! I know that is a huge plus for our dog. Jill was extremely responsive with great details of what was going on. I appreciated her fast responses, her positivity and the pictures! She really made us feel comfortable leaving him there. We are grateful she is happy to welcome Beau back. Not everyone can handle a 165# Great Dane in there space. As Jill and her husband saw, Beau gives no personal space, he just wants attention and love the whole time, and the way their daily life is set up I looks like Beau got exactly what he wanted. Loves of love, lots of social /play time with the dogs at the dog park, lots of attention when back at the house and plenty of opportunities to sleep, exactly how a Great Dane likes it!”
“Nicole is such a kind and caring person, she made my dog feel at home and took very good care of her. She was gentle and attentive to my senior dog. Thank you so much for creating such a welcoming environment for dogs while they’re away from home ❤️”
About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.
About: Having cared for many dogs, cats and farm animals of my own and for others, I offer responsible canine care to pets and owners in Carmel.

I make sure that food, water, treats, and play things are available at all times for all pets. I also set areas for downtime, relaxation, and naps inside and outside the house, and provide regular interaction and amusement throughout the day.
“Holly was absolutely amazing. Me and my fiance dropped off Maggie not knowing what to expect but she had a blast with plenty of room to run and sniff. We got multiple pictures every day especially super cute ones. I cannot sing her praise enough this was absolutely amazing and 11/10 would recommend.”
“A professional and conducive atmosphere has been provided for Cali and Lilly. The communication was outstanding and the care shown towards the dogs went beyond expectations. I will certainly avail of their services again in the future.”

“Angelina is so sweet & took such good care of my dog! She sent me pictures & updates, and my dog was very well loved! I will definitely try to book Angelina again, if I need my baby taken care of!”

Alexis was awesome. She took good care of my 2 large dogs. Very attentive. Wanted to know any traits the dogs had that would make their stay more comfortable. Provided regular updates to reduce the anxiety of the owner’s separation. I highly recommend Alexis and would happily use her services again. Thank you.
Janet was absolutely wonderful taking care of Zoey while I was away on vacation! She was kind, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease knowing Zoey was in great hands. Janet made the entire experience stress-free. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave Zoey throughout her stay. I would absolutely trust Janet to watch Zoey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
Max is a grumpy old boy and Jesse did great with him! Jesse was communicative regarding drop off and handling the changes in my plans. He took him out on leashed walks, to his building's fenced off leash and just generally did his best to give Max a great time. I would definitely recommend him for your pups.
Riley is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! He treated our dog, Lisa, like his own, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. He always kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear how much Riley and his wife genuinely care about animals, and Lisa absolutely loves them both. They are truly wonderful people with big hearts, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found them.
Isabel is THE best! We honestly felt like we left Nala at a luxury resort for the weekend! Isabel communicates so well, goes above and beyond, and sent the sweetest pictures along the way. She took Nala on fun outings, and we were able to completely relax knowing she was being so loved and cared for. We couldn’t recommend Isabel more!
Asja is amazing! My girl Kona had not been boarded or in the care of anyone but her dad and I. Asja’s calm, and relaxed demeanor makes Kona feel safe and cared for. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have met this wonderful woman. I highly recommend her services for your dog care needs.
My dog had a GREAT time with Jocelynne! She handled my last minute boarding request really well and set up a prompt meet and greet. Jocelynne sent photos over the stay and even sent my dog home with a toy she liked to play with at their house. Highly recommend, I would definitely book again!
Samuel and Yuchen did an amazing job boarding our bloodhound Daisy for 6 days. They took her for walks and to the dog park each day, and gave her lots of love and affection. There were tons of photos sent showing how happy and comfortable Daisy was in their care. I highly recommend them for your dog!
We had a two week vacation to Hawaii planned with our family but had never left our dog overnight with anyone outside the family. We were concerned as to how this would work out but Yessica helped Bailey become comfortable with a few day visits and one overnight before the big trip. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We received numerous photos and videos letting us know how happy Bailey was in her temporary home. The nice fenced yard and darling little girls all made the stay a success. Many, many heartfelt thanks!!
Carol took wonderful care of my Golden Retriever, Haley, while I was away. Haley stayed in Carol’s home, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Carol provided regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. When I picked Haley up, she was relaxed and content. Carol is kind and reliable, I would absolutely trust her with Haley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.
This was my second time using Rover so there’s still some hesitation on my part. However, Kalikonani was amazing! I have a senior dog so knowing that she had a senior pup of her own, made me feel relieved that she’d understand my dog. She provided pics, updates, and was a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future :)

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 Sand City 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 Sand City.
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 Sand 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 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.
