“Rachel was absolutely wonderful!! She sent me updates & photos of my little guy while I was away to let me know he was okay. I knew he would be the moment I met her but it was still very nice to see his face for reassurance. I will definitely book her again if I’m back in the area. Thank you Rachel 😊”
“Ora took care of my baby for 4 days. She is a loving and caring host. She kept sharing updates, pictures and videos during the entire stay and I was really happy with her service. It was like a nice vacation for my baby. He was all happy when I picked him. I'll use Ora's service again.”
“Sara was knowledgeable, caring and a pleasure to work with to take care of my old dog for a few days. It gave us flexibility to go sightseeing without leaving dog in car. It was not an option. Thanks to Sara.”
“They were very kind and accommodating to my dogs needs and last minute booking arrangements, their two dogs were well behaved and helped my fur baby feel right at home in their family! I highly recommend any others who need a dog sitter to consider leaving your dog in good hands with this lovely couple!”
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
“Marissa is an incredibly understanding, communicative, accommodating and trustworthy dog sitter. My dog has behavioral issues and she went out of her way to meet us twice before having our first overnight stay. She knows her way around e-collars which is incredibly helpful for pups like mine that have gone through a board and stay boot camp. I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”
“Mercedes was available to watch our Birdie girl after a last minute change in plans to our weekend long trip. From the moment we dropped Birdie off, I knew she would be cared for just like she was at home. Mercedes was great about sending daily updates. Birdie came home exhausted from having the best time playing around. We couldn’t be happier with the care Mercedes provided!”
About: I make pet care easier by coming to you! I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience raising and training three dogs from the puppy stage. I also attended summer camps where I learned hands-on dog-training techniques and how to build trust and form strong bonds with dogs. I love dogs of every size and personality—although I have an extra-soft spot for big dogs! I’m loving, patient, dependable, and trustworthy, and I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, horses, rabbits, turtles, and other animals. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates while you’re away.
“Absolutely amazing experience! Ashley is super communicative and very punctual. She sends plenty of updates that include photos and videos. She even goes up and beyond by asking about any strange behaviors which displays attention to detail and deep care for your dog. Her dog is very friendly and playful, completely tired out my energetic pup! Fantastic experience, would absolutely recommend Ashley.”
“Karol did a great job taking care of our “Bonita.” She met with us in advance so we could decide if we were a good fit & was very kind & professional every step of the way. Bonita was calm & happy when we picked her up 🙏💝”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
99% of sitters in Shandon 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 Shandon 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 Shandon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shandon. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Shandon 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.
