“It felt so great to leave our girl with them! They were responsive, sent lots of updates, and gave her so much attention while we were away! Can’t stress enough how much more enjoyable our night away with our daughter was knowing Sophie was well taken care of by people who care! Will book again 😊”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lynn. She took incredible care of our dog, Sophie, while we were away and gave us several updates daily with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Sophie came home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Lynn again and highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!"”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”
“It was my first time leaving my pup with another family ever and they made me feel so at ease with updates and pictures daily. They were so calm even though my pup was very nervous at first. I HIGHLY recommend trusting them with your pup and I would definitely contact them again for boarding my pup.”
About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. I understand the importance of quick updates and photos to put your mind at ease. I commit to sending you a morning and evening photo and update each day. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ Pickup and drop-off available within 5 driving miles of my home for an additional fee, subject to scheduling. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“We were gone for 2 weeks. George and Malia took great care of our girl while we were gone. They sporadically sent sweet photos and videos of our pup so we didn’t miss her too much. Highly recommend.”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience working in a veterinary office. I have many years of experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, cats, and dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. My veterinary background has given me experience recognizing when something may not be right and understanding the importance of keeping pets safe and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, and compassion. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away! 🐾❤️ I also use to be a dog trainer, through Petco! References Available on request! i am new to Rover but have been caring for pets, for 28+ years! I work full-time at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet sitting outside of work, including evenings and weekends. Working in a veterinary clinic has given me valuable experience and a strong understanding of animal care. I make sure to plan my time responsibly so every pet receives the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ The safety and happiness of every pet is my top priority. With my experience working full-time in a veterinary clinic, I understand the importance of providing a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal. I always follow each pet's individual routine, feeding instructions, and special care needs. I make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water, receive plenty of love and attention, and stay safe in their surroundings. I am patient and gentle with all animals, whether they are playful puppies, senior pets, dogs,cats or livestock or chickens ect. I also understand how important communication is, so I love keeping pet parents updated with messages and pictures while they are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. ❤️🐾
“Delila did an amazing job with Khloe while we were on vacation for our anniversary! We were able to relax knowing she was in good hands. She sent me pictures every morning and kept me up to date on how she was doing ? and her comfortability with her & the family. We will be leaving Khloe with Delila again in the future.”
“Jen and Anthony took fantastic care of my dog. They sent pictures that helped assure me that he was doing just fine. I appreciate that they read his profile that described he needed time to warm up to strangers and they gave him space and time to adjust. Totally professional and everything I wanted to find in my new pet sitters! So happy I found them ❤️”
“Sandy has watched my Charm 2 times and she won’t be able to get rid of us now! Sandy is so caring and gives updates often. I have no worries at all dropping my pup with her. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of street dogs of my childhood neighborhood and now I'm the proud father of 2 beautiful girls. I have an affinity for dogs but cats seem to have an affinity for me 😂. I LOVE walking the dogs as it is a treat for me as well. Can't wait to meet your loved one! I'm available full time and I am ready to work with you and your schedule! I'm dedicating myself to this so I can accommodate for almost anything I have a fenced yard and 2 female dogs who are very friendly and get along with other dogs. There's a yard for them to run around and a river closeby we can walk to if you're comfortable with them getting a little wet.
“What a wonderful match for our cuddly corgi. Nina’s home was a perfect blend of stimulating and calm. She gave such good care to our pup for 10 days with regular updates showing how happy he was. Thank you Nina!”
“Yuanyuan and her family were incredible doggy sitters! We received daily photo and video updates at every feeding, walk, playtime, and bedtime! We are so, so grateful for the amount of effort they put into sending updates! They followed our care instructions EXACTLY. We had such peace of mind throughout our week-long vacation knowing Sammy was totally cared for! Yuanyuan’s kids are so cute and played with Sammy as well 😊 and Binky, their huskie, is a calm dog and gets along well with any guests! Sammy looked like he enjoyed himself as much as we did! 10/10 would recommend!!!”

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.
95% of sitters in Smartsville 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 Smartsville 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 Smartsville.
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 Smartsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Smartsville 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.
