“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“Jim seemed to love his time staying with Barry and Chrissy. When I picked him up I think he wanted to stay with them. Their house is great for dogs and the neighborhood roads are not busy at all. He got lots of dog walks and exercise as well as plenty of love and treats. It obvious that Barry and Chrissy love dogs and I would highly recommend them.”
“Tim was fantastic! His communication with me prior to and during our sit was great. He sent photos and updates while he had Glacier and responded quickly when I had questions. Tim described a silly behavior of Glacier’s that he only does when he’s extremely happy, so I knew he was being well taken care of. Tim also took G on a walk along the river. Tim had another dog there while Glacier was there and seemed to easily be able to navigate the two during feeding times, play times, etc. Also a plus, his house is very easy to find! I absolutely recommend Tim!”
“Laura was very nice to take my last minute request. She sent me daily updates and photos and assured me my dog was doing well. Lastly, she allowed a very late night pick up when my return flight was delayed. All in all, I'm very happy with her service! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Mari stayed at Ron's house for 2 weeks while we were abroad - the worst part of vacation is leaving your dog behind, but Ron sent us daily photo and videos of Mari playing with Lexi and getting a lot of TLC. She genuinely seemed happy and comfortable. We enjoyed these updates so much and it helped put our minds at ease. Again, we highly recommend Ron to watch your doggo kiddo! Thanks Ron & Lexi!”
“Christina did a fantastic job looking after our dog Aphro over Christmas and New Year’s. She treated Aphro like one of her family and kept us up-to-date on how well she was doing. I fully recommend Christina as a top rated Rover sitter and will definitely book her next time!”

“Wow! Dain and Jade were super troopers with our elderly boy! With the time change and new surroundings our silly boy was pacing, waking early and leaving messes. I’m so appreciative of Dain and Jades casual attitude understanding the needs of our old dog. Communication was great with pictures of his day, and he came home happy! Thank you both!!”
About: Hello! I'm a highly experienced and dedicated dog sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing personalized, high-quality care for each and every dog in my charge. I have many years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I have a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I am trained in positive reinforcement methods and force-free handling, which allows me to build strong, trusting relationships with the dogs in my care. In addition to my general dog sitting skills, I have specialized expertise in several areas. For example, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and am skilled in providing the extra care and attention they require. I am also knowledgeable about common senior dog health issues and can administer medications and monitor their health as needed. Another area of expertise is dog training. I am certified in basic obedience and have worked with many dogs to help them learn basic commands, improve their manners, and increase their confidence. I use positive reinforcement methods to train dogs, which means that I reward them for good behavior rather than punishing them for bad behavior. This approach is not only more effective, but it is also less stressful for the dog and builds a stronger bond between the dog and the owner. Overall, I am a highly skilled and dedicated dog sitter who is committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend. Whether you have a young, energetic puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I have the experience, knowledge, and compassion to ensure that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you are away. I am an independent business consultant so work my own days and hours. It allows me all the time to take care of your dog while you are gone. Proper pet care involves providing a safe and comfortable environment, nutritious food and fresh water, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups. At home, this means keeping pets away from harmful substances, ensuring they have a cozy place to sleep, and spending quality time with them. When caring for pets in client's homes, I follow their specific instructions while ensuring basic needs are met. I also observe and report any changes in the pet's behavior or health to the owner. Overall, responsible pet care fosters a strong bond between the pet and caregiver, promoting the pet's well-being and happiness.
“Both of our pups lived it over at Madelyn’s place. They got along with her dogs and she also took them up for a nice hike. Will certainly be having her watch them again.”
“It is so hard to leave your dog with someone you don't know. After Heidi's stay with Luciana I have complete confidence that she will be well cared for. I appreciated the requirement to have a meet and greet. Luciana is organized, she's a strong communicator, and she is very safety-conscious. It helped that Heidi and Felipe got along so well, it is actually more fun for Heidi to be at Luciana's house than at ours. It also helps that Heidi is a small dog and Felipe is small too which is a perfect situation for us. I had no doubt that Heidi's diet was followed to a T (she can't digest fat), and that she was walked. Highly recommend!”
“Arvin loved exploring the backyard and playing with Titan! Lisa was responsive, asked good questions and sent frequent updates. We felt that he was well taken care of and in good hands while we were away. We already have him booked for another stay! Thanks again, Lisa!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Michele as a sitter for my pup, Brady! They were awesome with immediate communication, super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and provided me with multiple updates throughout the day with videos and pictures! Michele went above and beyond taking my dog to the dog park AND a hike over the weekend! Highly recommend!”
“Ronnie was absolutely fantastic. He took my request last minute and when I picked up my pup, she didn’t want to leave his side. I highly recommend Ronnie for your doggy care needs. He is kind and you’ll have peace of mind that your pup is in caring hands.”
“Sherina was so kind and attentive to our pups. She was also very accommodating to make sure the first time we left our dogs with someone was a great experience.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! You can tell she genuinely love and care for animals. She treated my dogs like family, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, attentive, and so caring. I couldn’t recommend her more!” 🐾❤️”

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.
97% of sitters in Southside Highlands 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 Southside Highlands 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 Southside Highlands.
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 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.

You and your Southside Highlands 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.
