“Carrie is the best! She always treats my pup like her own and makes him feel right at home. I appreciate her daily comments and photos. She is my #1 go to when I need a Rover sitter.”
“Irina was great with my dog! She always checked in with us to show me how my potpot was doing. Would send videos and photos of them playing to make sure my dog is having a great time. If I were to ever get a dog sitter again it would be Irina!”
“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.”
“Anais was great and communicated well. She took care of Brownie and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Will recommend her to everyone and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Annie and her family were so welcoming to my puppy. He can be a handful but played great with her dog too. Annie provided so much great communication and updates throughout the day. I felt so comfortable knowing he was taken care of. I’m sure he can’t wait for another visit soon.”
“Excellent communication and Naiomie showed my pooch genuine care and love. My girl (Val) was able to play, have fun and received the attention and ability to roam that she needs. All guidance given for Val was followed and then some. Naiomie goes above and beyond in a way that only a true lover of pooches would. I'm extremely grateful and look forward to utilizing her services again and strongly encourage others to do so as well”
“Tammy was very easy to talk to, promptly responds and just overall helpful as to this was our first time leaving our 1 year old dog with someone else. She did a meet and greet prior to our trip. She did daily check ins and sent photos of our doggy. We’d definitely use her again in the future!”
“Reginay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Kobe and sent photos and videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Kobe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would definitely book with her again!”
“We just want to thank you for your awesome service, from the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up. Your love for dogs is exactly what we where looking for. The updates and pics of our big boy Tsunami shows he was in good hands and haveing a blast. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was with a family that was loveing him as much as we do. He is a spoiled dog and by the looks of it he was also spoiled by you and your family. Which makes us very happy and grateful. We look forward to our next visit with you and so does Tsunami. He told us that you are he's new doggie nanny 😁.... Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. 🐶🐶🐶”

Thank you Hong, I know Zane will be looking forward to more visits!”

About: I genuinely love animals and have two dogs of my own! I have a flexible work schedule, a fenced yard, and a home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for.

I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced yard and a calm, welcoming environment. I follow each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, and I’m mindful of introductions with my own dogs. For drop-ins or care in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sheldon
Carrie was the absolute perfect boarding sitter for my two dogs! She kept me updated with photos and shared all the fun activities my fur babies were up to. I loved her personality and the positivity she brought to their care. We will definitely be booking with her again. #dogs #petsitter #gratitude 🐾🐶✨
Anessa was so great with Holly. She sent updates and photos and always responded when I messaged to check on my baby. Holly was nervous being in a new place and didn't want to eat, but Anessa went out of her way to try different things and I could tell how much she cared. Will definitely book again.

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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sheldon 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.
