“Michelle was a fantastic host. She was very friendly, communicative, and accommodating. My wife and I could tell that our pup was well treated and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Michelle, or rebook with her!”
“This was the first time I've ever left Kira with someone I didnt already know. Irina did such an amazing job watching my active, attention needy dog lol. She sent me constant updates and pictures throughout kiras stay. I would 100% have Kira stay with Irina and her family again. Thank you so much!”
“I felt like I left my dogs with family! I received photos and updates throughout the weekend, and never even worried about how my dogs were doing - it's like they had their own vacation”
About: *** We plan our day around your drop off/ pick ups. PLEASE COMMUNICATE with us if you will be late or if plans change so we are able to continue with our day. Mochi loves new friends and can’t wait for your stay. Please let Mochi’s parents know ANYTHING IMPORTANT about your pup. Social anxiety? Food or toy aggressive? Table surfer? Sensitive tummy? Loves to run away? Give them a heads up so everyone can have a safe and fun visit! Our family has been on Rover since 2015. By 2017 we had to close our calendars to new guests because we were kept extremely busy with our local repeat guests, something for which we’re super grateful! We’re opening up our calendars again because we’ve recently moved to Cameron Park and can’t wait for Mochi to make new friends! We work from home most days so we have plenty of time for guests. Evenings get busier with coaching and after school sports so pups that are comfortable with staying home for a few hours will fit best with our family. Our back yard is 95 percent fenced in and the rest is blocked off with an accordion gate. They have a little over half an acre to run and play. In the house they have full range of the home with plenty of extra dog beds and extra dog bowls. Beds and couches are not off limits! We have one large crate if guests need it; pups are not crated unless requested.
“Amy and Justin took care of fur baby while we were away. They took a great care of Snoopy. Felt him comfortable, teach new game , provided daily updates and answering promptly for every queries we had while we were away. I will highly recommend to Amy and Justin. Thanks Amy and Justin for taking care of Snoopy”
“Alexa is the best dog sitter you could possibly find. I get feedback photos of my dog enjoying her stay every day. She goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients and my dog loves her so much. In fact, I think my dog is very sad today because Alexa is not here.”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”
“Patti and her husband took great care of my puppy! I was updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt at ease knowing Tilly was in such safe and caring hands❤️”
“Greg was an exceptional host for my pups! I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and I had a last minute need and he was there to help. He kept me more than updated and ensured my pups were exercised and loved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate caring individual to watch their pups!”
“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“One of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She took care of my dog in her home like he was part of their family. Sent so many great pictures and updates which put me at ease during my dog’s first stay with Christany and her family. Quick responses. Rebooked already for another stay! We appreciate this warm and loving home!”
“Alesya was wonderful and so kind! I felt comforted knowing Charm would be in her care for 3 days. Charm came back worn out! So I know he had a great time! Thank you Alesya!”
“Sharon and Henry took such great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs get pretty depressed when we leave them. Sharon and Henry did everything they could to help our dogs feel comfortable and they communicated with us eveny day while we were away. We really appreciated the daily check ins and pictures. We will definitely book Sharon and Henry again!”
About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skinners
We had such a great first experience with Walee! She was so sweet, and we really appreciated her communication throughout our pup, Parker’s stay. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos. She also has a puppy of her own, and the two of them got along great. It made us so happy knowing Parker had a little friend to play with and could burn off lots of energy together. I would absolutely recommend Walee and would love to have her take care of Parker again in the future 🐾🥰
Alexa was incredibly dedicated to our sweet Maple! Alexa was more than attentive to all of Maple's needs, especially as Maple was adjusting to her new surroundings. I received daily communication and photos throughout Maple's stay with Alexa. Alexa was an absolute pleasure to work with! We feel so lucky to have connected with Alexa and hope to book with her again!!
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth. Leaving your pet can be stressful and she made us feel at ease throughout our vacation away. She sent photos and video updates and treated our 11 month old puppy like family. We recommend Elizabeth and would absolutely rebook with her again!
Elaine is a special person that truly understands dogs. This was the first time we left our 4 year old Marley in a home with multiple dogs. We did a meet and greet with Elaine and felt very comfortable that she understood his uneasiness with new people and new dogs. She gave him the space and reassurance that he needed and after a few days he was right at home. We had such a good experience that we are going to bring him for doggie daycare at her home to keep the good vibe going. Thank you so much Elaine!
Christine and Ethan were absolutely wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond to make Willow feel comfortable and cared for, helping ease her anxiety with such kindness and patience. The regular photo updates were a lovely touch and gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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 Skinners 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 Skinners.
<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 Skinners 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.
