“Such a loving and caring family. My dogs walked in as if they walked into their home. I left them feeling confident that they were in good hands. Cecilia is great in communication and sending pitfie updates we would definitely go back.”
“I felt comfortable leaving my big guy with Rosita. We did a meet and greet at first so I could see if it was a good fit. She has a spacious yard and took him for long walks. She was very attentive and asked questions to make sure he was well cared for. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. I would totally book with her again and recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”
“I just moved back to Monterey and was happy to be able to have Marion as a reliable sitter. Across the process of scheduling, her communication has been clear and I’ve appreciated her flexibility. Pinto can take a while to adjust to new setting and was still nervous when I left her but 20 minutes after, I got an update showing me how well she had adjusted to Marion’s and had even gone back to playing with an old friend. Throughout her stay, I felt confident that she was not just being well taken care of but having a great time thanks to Marion’s regular check-ins. I would definitely recommend Marion for anyone who wants a kind sitter that is responsive to different dogs needs and an excellent communicator.”
“Becky was great!! She was willing to meet beforehand so my dog could get familiar with her. My apprehensive pup was comfortable around her during her weekend stay. Also, Becky checked in with me throughout the weekend and sent me cute pictures of my pup! I’m glad I found a sitter in the area that’s good with my dog”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”

“Danielle was AMAZING. Bronx absolutely loved her and her husband. She really took her time to ease in my very timid baby and she was always so patient. Kept me updated with photos throughout the day and always replied to my questions quickly. She was lovely and if I need someone to watch Bronx again it will be her!”
“Stasha watched my pup while I was in from out of town and I couldn’t be more thankful that she was available. My dog was well taken care of and had a fun day at the lake. Received updates, pictures, and peace of mind. 100% recommend.”
“Johemy was amazing with our Daisy! She sent us daily pics, and it was obvious Daisy thrived in her care. Excellent communication from the very start. We would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Thank you so much Johemy!”
About: I had a dog who I cared and deeply loved for 6 years, she unfortunately passed away due to medical issues. I moved here to Seaside about 4 months ago due to my husband being in the military and have already watched over several dogs ranging from small to large sizes. I met a good friend whose dog has anxiety, so I have learned how to handle/comfort dogs who are going through the same thing. I hope to connect with your pet and give them the best care possible! I am a stay at home mom to a one year old boy who adores animals and loves walks. I get up pretty early in the morning and use some of that time to let them out to potty, provide their breakfast, and go on a little walk! I have a playground and dog park right by my home where they can roam around and have some fun:) I do not have pets of my own. I do have a one year old boy. If your dog has shown aggression towards little kids even in the past, it will not be a good fit to have them here with me. I have a fenced backyard. If you require your pet to be in a crate for any reason or at a certain time (it usually has only been when I’m out for errands or during bed time) I would of course just need to know ahead of time:) I’d really want the area safe for everyone including your own pet:) We can always work around what you want/prefer when I am caring for them!
“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
About: My experience growing up with dogs, and working as a Vet tech for 3.5 years gives me the knowledge and expertise to care for you pets as if they are my own! I’m currently in between jobs as a Vet tech, and just recently moved to the Seaside/Monterey area. I’m looking to make pet care my full time job again if at all possible! I have a 2 year old lab/pointer mix at home named Diesel. He is high energy, emotional, but full of love! He loves to explore and go on long walk. I have 2 cats named Asher and Prada, they are a 3 year old bonded pair, but they tend to like their space, and stay in their own room.
“Helen was a great caretaker for my dog! She was quick to communicate, shared pictures of her playing with my dog multiple times over the 2 day watch, and I could just tell me dog was happy and well exercised upon pickup. Would definitely book again! Thanks Helen!”
“We are so grateful that Jaclyn was able to take care of Odie so nicely. Odie got so much love and affection and did not even miss us. haha. They sent pictures of Odie and took him for walks and gave him so much of hugs kisses and wrapped him like a baby during bedtime and made him feel so much at home. This is the best place for my pet and would greatly recommend for anyone trying to send their pet when they are out of town. Thanks so much Jacklyn. We love your support!”
“From the moment we met Julie, it was evident that she truly loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to ensure Ginger felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Julie's regular updates, including daily pictures of Ginger, really put us to ease as I had never left Ginger alone, especially overnight. We consider him our fur baby so of course we were a bit nervous and apprehensive not knowing how he will do. It really was comforting to see ginger having a great time with his other fur friends and being well-cared for. One of the standout qualities that sets Julie apart is her impeccable attention to detail. She took the utmost care of Ginger, following all of our daily routines to make sure he felt comfortable, from feeding schedules to cuddle time. Julie made sure that Ginger's needs were met without any compromise or hesitation. Her professionalism and commitment to providing top-notch care were truly impressive. Communication was also a key factor in our positive experience with Julie. She was always readily available, responsive, and ensured that we felt connected and informed throughout our time apart from Ginger. Whether it was a quick text in the mornings with a picture, or a reassurance message that we truly needed, Julie kept us informed every step of the way. Her consistent communication helped us build trust and confidence in her abilities as a caregiver. Overall, Julie's exceptional care and genuine love for our fur baby left a lasting impression on our family. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who is only minutes away from us. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Julie to anyone who is in need of a pet caregiver who will go above and beyond to provide outstanding service. Thank you Julie, for taking care of Ginger like he was your own and for giving us peace of mind while we were away so we could truly enjoy our holiday.”

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 Spence 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 Spence 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 Spence.
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 Spence. On Rover:
- 93% 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 Spence 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.
