About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“Super sweet, my dog was very comfortable, it made him feel confident, it is the first time I left my puppy in the care of someone else and there was no problem. If I had to leave my puppy once again I would trust her again.”
“Molly is an exceptional pet sitter!!! she really took the extra time to foster a relationship with my dog Annabelle. She was very good with knowing how to use my dogs high energy with lots of play and games of fetch. I absolutely will be using Molly in the future 🐶😎”
About: I am an animal lover who has always had dogs in my home. I have a large backyard with shade and a big garage dedicated to large dogs, and I also accommodate smaller dogs in the house. I am a full time pet sitter home all day with our guests. Please ask if you need anything particular for your family members and I will do our best to accommodate. I have a large fully enclosed backyard and garage as well as indoor spaces with safe separation when required. I will accommodate if I can!
“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 he was older so I had to learn to be patient with him.Now with a newer puppy I had to find ways to train and help him not be so shy around other dogs As a college student I have my weekends open and I stay at school for holidays! During the week I have a lot of time in between class in order to take care of your loving pet! I always make sure to keep an eye on the pets when outside the back yard or just in the house just to make sure they’re okay. During walks when walking pass other dogs I try to walk across the street from other dog or stray off to the side and wait for the dog to pass us.
“I am so grateful that I found Gabriel to watch my dog Leonora while I am at work/out of town. If you're looking for a responsible, knowledgeable and flexible dog sitter, look no further. I am a physician with an unpredictable schedule but Gabriel goes out of his way to meet our needs. I adopted my dog a few months ago. She was originally put up for adoption because she kept climbing over fences. Gabriel fixed his house/yard specifically for Leonora so that she could still play with other dogs without having to worry about her escaping. He also has a lot of experience working with dogs and I have found his recommendations very helpful. When I go to work I know that my dog is in the best of hands.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were caring and attentive They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs Orca & Bruno were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We truly appreciate all the love, care, and accommodations they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs—from younger, energetic dogs to large breeds and seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, including a senior, so I understand how important routines, comfort, and individualized care can be. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs and pets who may move a little slower, need help getting around, take daily medication, or simply need more patience and reassurance. I’m also comfortable with larger dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and boundaries. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of updates so you know they’re safe and happy. 🐾 My current work schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I work limited hours, and on the days I do work, I’m typically home by 1 PM. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the afternoon and evening. Because I’m home much of the day, pets in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m also available for morning and evening routines and can adjust my schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and normal routine. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions before caring for them. I follow feeding, medication, walking, and household routines closely and never assume that what works for one pet will work for another. In my home, pets are closely supervised and given a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and interactions between animals. I have dogs of my own, so introductions would always be handled carefully and based on each pet’s temperament and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of both their pets and their property. I follow instructions closely, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. 🐾
About: My preferred name is Artemisia (my legal name is Paola), and I’ll be your pet’s sitter and caretaker! I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and two puppies, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence and really take the time to get to know each animal and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a little training, or would rather have a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play and get outside. Whether you’re traveling, working, or simply need an extra hand, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment with someone who genuinely cares about making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dogs, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps them burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️
“MacKenzie was GREAT with our GREAT Dane! She was professional, warm, capable and easy to coordinate with. We picked our pup upmat the end of the day and he was happy, exercised, adored a and well fed - all a Dane could ask for! We highly recommend MacKenzie and will hire her again!”
“Wonderful!!! Jill kept me updated on how our boy was doing throughout the day with both wonderful pictures and extremely comforting messages! She expressed how happy they were to have him and that made us feel so good! 10/10!”
“Velsia took amazing care of my buddy Loki for 10 hours, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super friendly, kept me updated every 30 minutes, and even took him out on a hike. Loki has separation anxiety, but he felt so comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. She truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”
“I felt at ease leaving both of my pets with Sarah. She is very professional and communicated clearly and timely. She greeted my pets and I outside of her home and then gave us a tour of where my pets would spend time. She spent the time to allow my dog Roble to get acquainted with the space and other pets. She was very thorough in caring for my pets (i.e. feeding schedule, rest, petting and play time). I received plenty of updates as well. I will definitely utilize her services again!”
“Mary and her daughter are an amazing care team. Our Dane was happy and well exercised when we we picked him up. He gets lots of people time, and especially enjoyed Mary's cooling mat for dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Cori is the sweetest and nicest sitter I have met in Salinas. I was pretty excited to leave Moon with her because she seemed to understand huskys and their attitudes and shenanigans they tend to come with. She never made me feel bad about moons behaviors and I loved that. Moon had seemed to have a little bit of a rough time because she does not like cats and we both assumed it might be because she smelled a lot around the neighborhood cori lives in. Moon howled and barked A Lot and I appreciate cori for putting up with that. She kept me updated throughout the day while I was at work, sending pictures and Videos of Moon outside and playing with her fluffster Cress. I wish Moon was not so reactive to cats because i would love to have cori watch her more often. Cori has even let me know I can always use her as a back up sitter if need be. I appreciate the last few days you have watched moon! Thank you so much Cori! I would never hesitate to allow Cori to watch my Moon girl:)”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Spreckels commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
