“David’s property is big and beautiful, and full of happy dogs! David is very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be booking dog sitting with him again. Thanks, David!!”
“We are so grateful that Bernadette takes such good care of our little Skippy. Gives us such piece of mind to be gone, knowing that he has a friendly and caring place to stay.”
“Jennifer is amazing! This was Mandy's first stay and she had a wonderful time. Lots of loving attention and walks and playtime. Jen sent me photos and text updates on her activities. I was having a great weekend in Lake Tahoe with my family and I know Mandy had a fabulous time with Jen and her dogs! Jennifer is my go to sitter from now on.”
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
About: I was a dog walker and pet sitter in college. Since then I’ve mostly pet sat for friends. Recently started working from home and am available for more regular sitting and walking. I have a cat and an elderly/special needs dog myself and have experience caring for all kinds. I well versed in medicating, and other special needs. I work from home with very flexible hours so I am fairly available during the week for drop ins, walks and boarding. I have some weekend availability also for overnights. As a pet owner myself I know how much we care for our animals and I understand the trust it takes putting their care in another’s hands. I take that responsibility, as well as their safety, wellbeing and comfort seriously. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide them with the utmost care and respect.
“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”
About: I've owned my own dog walking and boarding business for 8 years, have worked with dogs full time for 10 and have chosen to work and volunteer alongside animals from the moment I had the opportunity as a young teen. It is important to me that the dogs in my care are fulfilled. All dogs are taken on daily walks and provided with off leash social time in my yard. I am behavior savvy, cultivate structure through routine and boundary setting, and love to let dogs' personalities shine. My partner and I have a 6 month old mini Aussie, Otis, and he loves to host as well. I require that dogs are friendly with other dogs, crate trained and have leash manners. My "full-time" work is to provide for the dogs in my care- whether they are boarding, daycare dogs, or walking clients. This includes daily (and sometimes twice daily) group walks and off leash social time with my personal dog and whomever else is on the schedule. Sometimes we hike, explore a separate large fenced property or visit the beach-it all depends on how many dogs I have and what their temperaments are. I take relationship building with my clients (both human and dog) very seriously. It takes time to build comfort and trust. I prefer to have a short client list, an intimate group of dogs, and a relaxed and familiar flow throughout our day to day. I love to have extended stay boarding dogs, and have several clients who travel multiple months out of the year. I do not take one-time weekend boarding dogs. It is a lot of work up front to get new clients familiarized with our routine, comfortable & relaxed in the environment, and introduced to all of the regulars. A final note: I love shy/awkward dogs, senior dogs, and working with (most) young puppies. I struggle with highly anxious & hyperactive dogs and they are not the best fit for my environment and personality.
About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

“Merrill was great!!! We had a last minute change of plans and I had to book her with not much notice, at the meet and greet I knew right away my doggies would be in great hands. My 2 furr babies seemed so happy. She kept me updated the whole time and sent pictures.It was horrible weather the day of pick up and she was very go easy on what time we needed to pick them up since we we're driving back from the airport in Oakland. We've always had a hard time being able to go places with no dog sitter. I would 100% use Merrill again!!!”
“Ariele is the best, most communicative and friendly woman you could ask to help you when looking for dog boarding! Our Coltrane was on cloud nine and we are indebted to Ariele!”
“Michael and Casey took great care of Critter for the night while we went to a friends wedding. They truly treated him like their own dog, and let him snuggle on the couch after he finally got tired from playing with the older dog! He didn’t want to leave the next morning! They were easy to communicate with and sent us updates later in the evening. If we ever need dog sitting in Napa Valley again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Fifi had the best vacation ever! We will 💯 be booking with Ellen again. I loved all the communication, photos and videos of our girl being well loved and cared for while we were away. Thank you for everything!”
“Alexis was great. I had to make a last minute booking and she was very prompt to arrange a meeting with my dog and I. I left Nikki at Alexis overnight and she took great care of her. She even accommodated her sleeping needs. Alexis has a beautiful property with lots of space for the doggies to run around and feel free. I will definitely bring Nikki to Alexis again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was fifteen, but I have had different animals all throughout my life. From birds, to cats, and dogs of all sizes I have had a lot of personal experience. Some of my duties included feeding, walking, bathing, grooming (for personal pets), and attention to medical needs. I have a big heart for pets and wish to give them care and support as they do us! I don’t currently have any pets, but I do tend to dog sit for my aunt. I currently work as a caregiver and for an after school program for youth. On my days off, I would love to help with pets. As stated above I don’t currently have a pet of my own, but for my aunt’s dog I take him on walks, feed him, keep him hydrated (especially with summer bringing in heat), there’s always play time and he gets a bath before he goes back home. I am very open to all needs of both the pet and the owner.
About: I am very intuitive, calm, and have a natural ability to connect with every dog that I meet. I take the time to learn each pup’s unique personality, routines, and quirks — whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special way they like to be greeted, or the toy that always gets their tail wagging. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. My passion is to provide attentive, tailored care whether it's for walks or in-home care. I am a great communicator and will always provide updates as requested to put your mind at ease. Serving Sonoma and Marin County! I will update my availability regularly on the Rover calendar to ensure accuracy. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend and how I can be of service. I am reliable, trustworthy, and responsible so you can trust me to keep your place clean and safe, just like you left it or better as I love a clean home. I take great pride in being engaged and present with them whether we are on walks, hikes or just chilling out. I am attentive, compassionate, and loving so your four-legged friend will not just get a sitter, but a dog lover who will give them love and affection in my care. To ease the mind of pet parents, I am more than happy to send updates, pictures, or videos during my care. I want you to feel reassured that he/she is in good hands.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it's going on walks, playing, exploring outdoors, or simply keeping them company. As an occupational therapist, I have a naturally patient, attentive, and caring personality. I'm comfortable adapting to different needs, respecting individual routines, and providing gentle, attentive care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I believe in treating every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Your furry family member's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my priority! I would love to make your dog's day a little brighter with walks, playtime, and lots of affection! I maintain a consistent weekly routine, which allows me to plan my time and provide reliable, attentive pet care. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, going for walks, and staying active, so incorporating dog walking and playtime into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to. I'm happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting schedules in advance to make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I value being dependable and respecting each pet's individual routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take time to understand each pet's personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. I also respect the owner's home and keep everything clean and organized. I understand that being away from family can be an adjustment for pets, so I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away!
“Jayden was a good fit for us. He’s great with dogs! He’s a great guy and I appreciate that he charged a reasonable rate. He also has the perfect dog for accepting other dogs in his home.”
“We had Karen take care of our two dogs over the weekend. They had a great time and I knew they were well cared for. I appreciated Karen’s attention to detail and her communication with us while caring for our dogs. I would not hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.”

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 Summerhome Park 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 Summerhome Park 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 Summerhome Park.
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 Summerhome Park. On Rover:

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 Summerhome Park 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.
