“My cat is always skittish at the beginning of boarding or any routine changes, but I could see how content and playful she looked in the photos and videos Cayley sent. I think she enjoyed the small family environment and was given everything she needed. Thank you for taking in Smoke when other plans didn't work out! We're glad to expand her circle of caregivers.”
“Brittany has been amazing with my pup who has some separation anxiety. He gets excited when he realizes where we are headed, he practically busts the door down to get in!”
“Dawn & her family were incredible! She was able to accommodate a last minute schedule change & saved our weekend getaway. Emmett had so much fun with her dog as well & came home ready to sleep the rest of the day away. I would highly recommend her to any pet owners who need a sitter.”
“Ocean had such a great stay while I was away! I got tons of videos, photos, and updates throughout my trip, and she looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. She ate well, slept well, and clearly had an absolute blast. She came home completely exhausted from all the fun, which is always a great sign! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Kareen was great with our two pups. I know one is a bit of a handful but she did great with her and they seemed well cared. They went on walks and had plenty of room to play in the yard. We will for sure be using Kareen again. She kept us updated and sent pictures of the pups regularly.”
“Once again, Siobhan did an outstanding job caring for my Penny girl. I love getting away knowing she's in great hands and that I'll get her back well loved and cared for. thanks!”
“April and her husband are amazing! Great communication and I received quality pictures and videos! The updates made me feel at ease. I could see that Mei Mei was enjoying herself and learned that she’s a natural guard for babies?! I appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave to her. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me as I adjusted the drop off time and ended up experiencing a delay en route. 🙏🏽 I would definitely book again and have peace of mind knowing she was well taken cared of. Good energy and dog lovers for sure. Definitely worth 🐾 - pawsing and considering. 😆 Thank you again! 🌼”
“My dog Sunny has been a client of Susan’s for almost 2 years now. Susan always takes such good care of Sunny and sends me photo updates when she stays with her. It’s great to see Sunny making friends and looking so happy during her stays!”
“Oli is wonderful. She really enjoys animals. My older dog, 16+ was comfortable with her immediately. She has a sweet small dog who is very friendly. She sends lots of pictures and my doggie will pose for her and he normally does not like pictures. Oli is very responsive to text messages and communicates well. He has been there a few times and I look forward to more visits in the future. I recommend 100%.”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Avril, and I am very excited to meet your pet! I have taken care of dogs across all life stages, from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently getting my dog trainer certification as well. I have two friendly and playful dogs of my own, so I understand how important routine, care, and safety are to a pet. Having cared for the pets of friends and neighbors for years, I make sure to treat every dog like my own♥️ Thankfully I'm always at home, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship, potty breaks, and my full attention! I'm also experienced with giving medications on strict schedules and structuring exercise to your dog's fitness level. You can be away with full peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands🐶 I am currently at home full-time and not bound by any schedule, so pet care is my main daily routine. Fortunately, my entire day revolves around the happiness and comfort of the dogs in my care :) BOARDING AND HOUSE SITTING: I can care for your dog in either your home or in my own. I have a fenced yard where your dog can safely run around and burn off some energy throughout the day, and my two dogs (who love visitors) will provide the perfect social environment. My home has a spacious interior which will give your dog room to stretch, hangout, and nap. I can adapt completely to your pet's schedule with my 24/7 at-home care! DROP-INS: I can drop in to check on your pet up to 3 times a day! This includes feeding times, potty breaks, and some playtime to help keep your dog happy and comfortable while you're away. WALKS: I do up to 3, 30-minute walks a day of varying intensity levels that fit your dog's needs. We can do a nice stroll around the neighborhood, a fun walk through a park, or a dog-friendly hike!
About: Hi im Alexandra, im a student at moorpark college currently taking online classes so im available most of the time. I have 12 years of experience walking dogs, staying at others home house sitting/pet sitting, checking in on & in general caring for animals starting at a young age because my mom owns her own dog grooming business. I will love your pet and care for him or her as if they were my own. I know sometimes leaving your dog/cat/etc. with someone you do not know can be a little scary but, I promise your baby is in good hands and will be taken care of, cuddled, played with, pet, and loved. I will send regular updates with pictures letting you know that everything is ok. Im comfortable giving medication or accommodating to any special needs your baby might have. If I am staying in your home I do not mind bringing in the mail, rolling out the trash cans, watering the plants or any other everyday tasks you need done. During walks I will make sure your pup is securely fasened in their harness/collar and on a leash at all times. My eyes will be on them the whole time because it only takes a second for something bad to happen. I have many references you can contact if needed. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dog/cat etc. Being a student with my classes being online let's me be available most of the time so I can easily accomedate to your schedule. I am available for walks, check-ins, day care and overnights. I'm only unavailable if I'm doing overnight stays where the family prefers I don't leave during the day. Although, leaving for an hour once or twice a day usually is not an issue. I also have a remote job which doesn't interfere with my Rover obligations. During this time I don't care for any pets in my own home, I usually travel to the clients home. While I'm caring for your animals I treat them as if they were my own. I am cautious to make sure they do not accidental get let out, feed or if needed give medication on time. I do not have any guests over. I always send pictures and updates during my stay. I have many references if needed, I know it can be nerve racking leaving your babies with someone new. I will also meet with you before to go over details, meet your animals and overall, make sure it's a good fit. I am comfortable giving medication if needed. I am also CRP certified.
“Cookie spent 10 days at Dodi's house and it seems that he loved it ! Dodi has a nice and friendly little dog and they got along well. Dodi sent us photos of Cookie everyday. She is a very sweet person and will treat your dog as hers. Thanks Dodi for taking such good care of Cookie”
“Jody is so sweet and took such good care of Koda. He got lots of love from her and her family. When we picked him up he seemed like he didn’t even want to go home, he was enjoying it so much. She even washed his doggie bed.♥️ Jody’s location is perfect for us since we need to pass her house on the way to the airport. We will definitely choose Jody again to take care of our Koda.”
About: I have had a strong connection with animals ever since I was a child. Through volunteering, owning a kennel and having 4 of my own fur babies sets me apart from most. I have been able to train and rehabilitate through love and trust. From chihuahua to pittbull your 4 legged angel will love to be with me and will always be well taken care of and safe! I am currently working full time but own my own buisness so could possibly be able to move things around. I’m typically available early morning, after work and/or could pull off lunch time. I am a good listener and pay attention to detail, especially fine detail. I am experienced any where from administering any medicines to simply just loving your fur baby. I follow instructions and am very responsible. I also love to send pics so you know how your angel is doing.
“Cedric and his family cared for my little one on a last minutes notice and I couldn’t be more pleased that I found them. They cared for my Malibu for 5 days and I was at ease the entire time. Cedric was kind enough to send me pics and videos updating me on how she was doing and it really put me at ease. This is the first time I’ve been away from her for that long so I was a little apprehensive but it went really well. They were also really accommodating with my last-minute changes and I couldn’t be more appreciative for that. Malibu had a great stay, she will definitely be back!”
“My senior dog was really well taken care of by Alexis and Melisa. I loved that they sent me photos several times a day and kept us updated with meals and daily activities.”
“Nadia was great! We had her watch 2 of our dogs for a week and they came back super happy! They had lots of play time and fun while we were out of town! Nadia sent pictures and videos daily. We will defintely use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Simi Valley
Cayley was absolutely AMAZING!!! Truly top-tier service from start to finish. She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring throughout the entire experience. She treated my senior pup as if he were her own, and when he had accidents, she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, clean, and well taken care of. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I have 100% trust in Cayley and would absolutely book with her again for any of my pets, especially my senior dog. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pets, Cayley is the one. Highly, highly recommend!!! ❤️
I hate to sound like a stuck record, but we cannot say enough about Andrew and Karrie. Our German Shepherd loves being there and always comes home happy. She played with other dogs, was given treats, and Karrie even brushed her out. We have such a peace of mind whenever our dog is with Andrew and Karrie.
Chase was absolutely wonderful and communicative. He sent many photo and video updates for my dog Onyx throughout his stay. His home is neat and tidy and he provides a calm environment for your animals to relax and enjoy. Will definitely be booking chase again the next time we are away. 😊
Travis is an outstanding dog sitter who cares about the dogs that he boards and makes certain that the dogs are safe and secure with other dogs on his property. He is very conscientious by keeping us informed with messages and videos. He is well experienced regarding the behavior of the dogs and their health while boarding in his home. We intend to use Travis in the future and would unequivocally recommend him to other pet owners.
Yidan was very accommodating to our Mochi boy’s needs. She was kind and inviting of her space. She sent wonderful pictures and videos of our dog playing and walking with her dog. She took our boy with very short notice and took very good care of him. We highly recommend Yidan for anyone who needs a kind attentive person who is trustworthy to give care for your furry companions! We would absolutely use her again in the future!

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.
95% of sitters in Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley 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 Simi Valley.
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 Simi Valley. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 Simi Valley 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.
