“Achara was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job communicating how Sammy was doing throughout the day sent pictures just overall a really great experience and I absolutely use her again.”

“They were amazing! Always sending updates and making sure to send pictures. Pika had the best time and I felt so safe and comfortable, leaving her in such good hands.”

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”


“My pup got a country getaway - pigs, goats, horses, lots of land run. He's whipped, as he hasn't left his favorite chair since we got home!. I had a last minute work trip for just a night, so had to scramble to find a sitter, but Kristen was available and communicated well before the trip. While my dog stayed, I received frequent updates with pictures of a dog smiling that no dog could fake. He was well cared for and I'd definitely use her again. Thank you Kristen!!!”

“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”

“I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and luckily Martha accepted my request. She did a meet and greet the same day I submitted my request and asked a lot of questions about the care and schedule for my pup which made me feel reassured. During the stay Martha was very responsive and gave frequent updates with pictures and videos which I appreciated! When I picked up my pup she was very happy and healthy! I would definitely book again!”

“Aya took good care of my active goldendoodle. I appreciate her being flexible and willing to work with my schedule. This was the first time I used Rover and was happy with her care. She has knowledge of training techniques which is a bonus! Thanks Aya”

“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”

“This was my first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and Qiana was amazing. She gave us daily updates of the pups and made sure to have playtime with them as well. Would absolutely book her again in the future.”

“Rocky is a special-needs dog - anxiety, sundowners, allergies, IBD, .... It takes a special person to board and care for Rocky, and that person is Florene. She has a heart for dogs, but she also has knowledge and experience - and knows how to command respect from them. I never want to take Rocky anywhere else. Even though it is an hour's drive for us one way, the peace of mind is worth it. And besides, we really like Florene and her husband Pat.”

“Cedric was honestly one of the best sitters I have ever used on Rover! He was so flexible in drop off and pick up, communicated very well and gave my boy Nitro all the attention he needed. He treated my dog like a part of the family. I would 100% use Cedric again without a doubt!”


“Bingsu had a great time at Esther's home during her 4-night stay and I will definitely return for future boarding services. I decided to book with Esther after reading so many great reviews and I was not disappointed! From the very beginning, Esther was very communicative and transparent. On our meet and greet, she kindly opened her home for me to view. Every day, she sent photo updates, and if there were any changes from what was agreed, she would notify me immediately. I never had any concerns during my vacation because Esther showed that Bingsu was in great care and safe. I love the fact that someone was always home with Bingsu and that she was able to roam around the home at times. Furthermore, I love how Bingsu was able to receive one-on-one care and attention. This is possible by Esther's commitment to limit the number of dogs she boards so every dog resident has a great boarding experience. Esther's home is very clean. The area around her home is great for doggy walks. She lives near a park and outside her home is a grassy area for quick bathroom breaks.”

“This was my very first time leaving my two dogs with Annie, and a first time Rover client. Annie was absolutely amazing! I got updates with pictures throughout the duration of my time away, making me feel at ease about the care they were receiving. I was especially nervous to leave my standard Goldendoodle because she has a Megaesophagus and requires special feeding. Annie didn't hesitate, offered a solution that worked, took pictures and spoiled them rotten. They came home happy like they'd been away at the most awesome camp in town! I would highly recommend Annie. Oh, and she made homemade dog biscuits for them, a little special treat to bring home.”

About: I am a owner of two maltese dogs and understand the hard work and care necessary for keeping a pet. I am a trusted and involved pet sitter in my family/friend circle. From Lovebirds to active Huskies, I have looked after them all! The key characteristics that I am qualified with are patience, attentiveness, communication, and attention to detail. Additionally, I am a second year Animal Science major at UC Davis. Many of my courses involve hands-on animal handling and husbandry knowledge. I understand that pets are family, and it's essential they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in my pet sitting or dog walking services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full time student. I work my schedule around classes each quarter. During this Fall quarter I am primarily available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 4:00pm. I am also available for mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7am - 12pm. Weekends I am flexible and open! My apartment is a peaceful, pet-friendly haven! We’re right next to green spaces and the arboretum, making it ideal for long, relaxing walks. Although I share the space with three roommates, we are all dog lovers who maintain a quiet, calm lifestyle. For in-home pet sitting I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar space. I maintain a low-key routine, ensuring your home stays quiet and your pet receives dedicated attention, regular outdoor exercise, and consistent care. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and a relaxing place to feel right at home.
“My dog Oreo had a great two weeks with Marilee and Joe. Oreo had loads of fun playing and wrestling with their dog Zuko who is a great role model for my 3 year old pup. The entire family welcomed and played with Oreo. He even got to go visit the river to swim! 😊 🐕 💗 💦 Marilee was great with communication and sent photos of my happy pup! Lol! He had such a great time I was sort of worried that Oreo would be in withdrawal when we got home without all of their company and attention! We are planning on having Oreo visit again when we go out of town.”

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 Saxon 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 Saxon.
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 Saxon 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.
