“Judith was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever girl, Sage! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, providing us with regular updates that kept our minds completely at ease. It is clear that she is incredibly caring and attentive, treating Sage like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Judith to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Maggie was great with our dog and a life saver, during New Year’s Eve we’ve found out our pet could not stay alone in the hotel room, there was such a small window to book and she accepted to take care of our dog. Our dog felt so comfortable with her, she kept us posted of all his activities, meals, walks, etc. Maggie was truly awesome with our dog.”
“Jackson and his family were great at taking care of my pup last minute. So thankful to have found him. Shelby was very happy and calm while I was out which is not always the case for her. But great care and communication for the short stay with them. Thank you!!!”
“I booked a two-week vacation and needed someone truly special to care for my dog, Ella. Most kennels in the area have no dog limits and don’t separate by size. Not the right fit for my sweet, slightly bougie girl! Matthew offered the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and home-style care. His house is pet-friendly and charming, with a doggy door to the front patio and another to the back, so Ella could choose where to lounge. He limits the number of dogs he watches, sent regular photos and updates, and was wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Ella looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend Matthew more highly, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and snakes. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I am available every day, including weekdays and weekends so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention care and companionship they deserve. My home has a brick fence, a garden, multiple outdoor doors, and plenty of space. I also have a clean, air conditioned home and a friendly senior dog.
“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”
“Sam is awesome! He always does a great job taking care of our Teddy. He sends tons of cute pics and always asks questions about his care to make sure Teddy gets the best while we are away. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Alan and Joe were phenomenal. This was our first time using Rover and actually leaving our new rescue dog with anyone. My wife was very nervous. Alan and Joe were great! I could tell they were very loving and caring towards our pet! They sent us messages, pictures and video of our Pup while we were out of the country! We could tell he was very happy! When I went to pick up our Dog, it was clear he was sad to leave!! I cannot recommend Alan and Joe more highly!!!”
“Alice has a nice oasis in Joshua Tree for my two dogs. They’ve never traveled away from home so her care was wonderful and comforting. Her two dogs made friends and welcomed my two boys with play and fun. I would ask Alice to care for my boys the next time I am in Joshua Tree!”
“Very kind and caring dog lovers who my dog took to instantly. Will definitely rebook when we are back in town. Thank you Mike for taking such great care of our dog.”
“Thank you so much Erin & Alex! Thank you for letting Tobi stay with you guys in your home. We were kept up-to-date with messages and photos throughout the weekend. I could tell Tobi had a fantastic time with you both and look forward to using you guys next time!”
“Larry took great care of our pet. This is my first time using a sitter instead of boarding and she was much happier and received his undivided attention. Lots of photos and great communication.”
“Kat was great and was knowledgeable at handling my fiesty baby corgi. She kept him entertained and knew how to discipline him if he got rambunctious... Definitely have sit Max again.”
“Angelica was amazing with our Pacha baby! We were in town for a last minute vacation and Angelica was available to watch her within 24 hours notice. She sent us updates throughout her stay and kept her comfortable and active. We will definitely be using her services in the future 🩷”
“Michael and his wife are very nice people and treat with dogs. My Gilda had a good time. I’m glad she had a safe and caring place to stay while my Partner and I were at an event.”
“Worked with me an absolutely insane amount on just about everything. Texted me updates and all that, really just did everything. Could not have felt more comfortable leaving her anywhere else or with anyone else”

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 Sky 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 Sky 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.
You and your Sky 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.
