“Don was very accommodating and great at communicating! He took time to make sure our pup felt safe and comfortable for her 1st stay! Don sent us many photos and videos to keep us updated!”
“Jackson continues to exceed our expectations! From the moment we dropped off our Dobies, we knew they were in great hands. He kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were having a great time, and they came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for.”
“I can’t recommend Joan enough! Absolutely 5 stars, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving my two cats for 4 nights is never something I take lightly, but from the very beginning, I felt completely at ease. She was incredibly kind and accommodating on short notice when I needed to extend their stay last minute which I really appreciated. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with updates and photos that reassured me they were not only safe, but genuinely comfortable and cared for. When I picked them up, they were calm, happy, and completely themselves, which says everything. Reliable, kind, and clearly experienced—I wouldn’t have anyone else look after my boys! I highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like their own.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Maggie was great with our boy Viking. He happily went with her when I dropped him off and was sitting happily with her when I pulled up to pick him up. So glad they matched well! Thanks again, Maggie!!”
“Edith and her daughter were awesome!!! They were very easy to talk to and was the most accommodating!!! I would ask them to take care of our dog again next time we are in the area! Thank you again!!!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for more than six years and have experience with the daily responsibilities that come with being a pet owner. This includes feeding, providing freshwater, going on walks, playtime, keeping their space clean and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine and I always do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet so I take that responsibility seriously, I am happy to follow feeding schedules provide updates and make sure that your dog gets the care and attention they deserve. I work Monday-Friday, so I am available on weekends for pet care. I am happy to spend my weekend’s giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love. I can also discuss availability outside of my regular work hours depending on your pets needs. I will do my best to work with your schedule and make sure your pet receives the care they deserve. I have a large, fenced-in yard with plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and get some exercise in a safe environment. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and at home. I will always prioritize their safety, follow their routines and any special instructions, and make sure they have freshwater, attention, and plenty of playtime. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I am happy to provide updates and pictures throughout their day. My goal is to give your fur baby a fun, safe, and great experience while you are away!
“Ruby is absolutely phenomenal. She takes such good care of Max and he always goes on fun little adventures like rollerskating or long walks. He comes home happy and tired just how I like.”
“Amy went above and beyond for my dog daughter Dooda. Communication was 110%. In fact I never had the opportunity to reach out on my own during her stay because Amy was very diligent with photos and updates. I could tell she had a great time during her stay & even showed signs of missing her weekend getaway sitter! I’m sure this will be my go too for sitting when In need! Thanks again!”
“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”
“Lynn was amazing! We felt so good knowing that our little Lexi was in good hands while we took part in a Tournament. Lynn was flexible with our time frames and we would definitely recommend her and use her next time we are in town!”
About: Since I was younger, i’ve always been surrounded by all different kinds of cats, puppies, and other small creatures. Over time, animals have became a passion and motivation of mine as I have three cats and a mini dachshund on my own. I got my puppy when he was 2 months old and raised him so I am absolutely open to caring for puppies! When it comes to any other accommodations, feel free to ask any questions! I am currently working from home remotely and have extra time in the morning and evening, that i am trying to discover a new hobby for myself. i care for my dog all day and visit the dog park twice a day. I have a closed backyard with a fenced gate. When it comes to caring for a fur baby in the parents home, I am very patient and understanding when it comes to any boundaries and rules.
About: Ever since I was a kid I have always *adored* spending time with animals, and I would occasionally volunteer in walking, watching after, and cleaning dogs at the local animal shelters. I had a wonderful senior dog at home named Honey, and I have grown up with her though all phases of life, from puppyhood to senior. I am well versed in general pet care, and I would love to lend a helping hand caring for your own fur baby!! I'm home for the summer and have ample open availability to care for pets. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just some extra love, I'm here to help! I can help by feeding, walking, and general care for pets! Let me know if you have any specific instructions for your pet, and I am more than happy to accommodate!
“Sheldon was amazing! She took great care of my puppy and sent me updates throughout her whole stay. My pup had such a great time, she slept for days! I will definitely book again”
About: I have taken care of animals for 3 years now. I have been around animals my whole life! I am very comfortable around animals. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I would keep your pets loved, safe and well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work easily with clients. I am available for walking, drop ins, doggy day care, spending a few hours or spending long days and overnight weekend stays. My availability is Tuesday, Thursday through Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 12 to 5. I can adjust my time if really needed though! I will follow whatever rules the client needs for their pets. The animals safety and needs come first always. The animals would be very safe!
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
“Brianna was so loving and caring to my Raaksha, and went above and beyond for him!! She was sitting for another dog too as well as had her own dog and quarantined them safely while giving them all the love and care they needed. I highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs have always found their way to me. I've been around them most of my life, and there's something about calm, consistent energy that they seem to respond to. A friend would tell you I'm the person dogs gravitate toward at a party, and I'd say that's probably the most honest qualification I can offer. My most meaningful experience came with my own rescue, a shepherd mix I adopted at 7 months, trained from scratch, and cared for through 15 years of life, including her final year as a senior dog with mobility needs. I became practiced at daily medication administration, wound care, and the kind of patient, attentive routine that older dogs need. Senior dogs are a specialty I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I work from home full-time, which means your dog won't spend the day alone. I'm here, present, and engaged — great for dogs with separation anxiety or those who simply do better with a steady human nearby. I take one dog (or one bonded pair) at a time, so your pet gets real individual attention. My home in Palm Springs is clean, quiet, and comfortable with direct access to a large greenway for on-leash walks right from my back patio. I know the desert schedule well, so in warmer months walks happen early morning or evening when it's safe and comfortable. I have a car and am happy to help with pickup or dropoff when needed. I'm comfortable with oral medications, mobility assistance, and dogs with special routines. My home is single-level — no stairs. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own bed or the floor (I'll have a comfortable spot ready), and I take one guest at a time to keep things calm and personal. Meet-and-greets are always welcome before a booking.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Korner
Melo had a wonderful time at Joy's house. There were other small dogs along with him that he enjoyed as he is an only child. He seemed to enjoy a lot the freedom to go from the house to the yard and sleep in the big room with everybody. He got lots of walks and we got great feedback and videos and photos everyday from Joy which we totally appreciated! Join her husband are wonderful dog people!! I would highly recommend Joy. She has such a joyful heart. She and her husband do a lot of work with fostering dogs. They are exceptional.

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.
96% of sitters in Sandy Korner 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 Sandy Korner 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 Sandy Korner.
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.

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 Sandy Korner 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.
