“Lauren was the best dog sitter that Snoopy could have asked for and we were lucky she was available on such short notice and willing to look after him for a little over a week. Snoopy is almost 15 years old and was recently seen by his cardiologist who prescribed him anti-nausea meds, tapering steroids for his cough, and an appetite stimulant for when he doesn’t want to eat. Snoopy also has had increasing incontinence issues and wears diapers while indoors. I needed to find someone to look after Snoopy while I traveled since his usual caretaker was not available, so I found Lauren on Rover and explained his health issues expecting that he might’ve been too much of a hassle. But Lauren was not fazed by any of Snoopy’s needs and immediately agreed to look after him. I went away on my trip with no concerns about his safety and Lauren periodically checked in with me to give me updates on Snoopy and sent me pictures to show me how well he was doing. I will definitely be booking with Lauren for my next trip – I even learned a few things from her about how to alleviate his coughing! We are very pleased with her outstanding quality of care!!”
“They took such great care of our dog, and Gracie. We would highly recommend them to anyone. We will definitely be using them again. They watched our dog for one week. Our dog was noticeably, happy and joyful when we picked her up. They have a fully fenced yard and Gracie enjoyed spending time with their dogs as well. Highly highly recommend!”
“Max was so thoughtful when looking after our dogs. They had a great time and all their different needs were catered for. Max kept us updated with photos and was careful to ensure all had a great stay, and we were able to relax, knowing that our dogs were in 'good hands'. We'd highly recommend using Max as our dog sitter.”
About: I used to be the president of an animal rescue called Secondhand Animals. Between running an animal rescue and owning dogs, cats, fish, turtles and hamsters all my life, I am very knowledge about animals, what they can and cannot eat, sickness, medications and what to look out for. I am completely set up for X-Large to X-small dogs, and the animals in my home are very friendly to other animals. If not we have several other rooms in the house, where we can keep a guest by themselves in order to not stress the out so much. We also just had a dog run built. I am currently working full-time, but I do go home during lunches and am home in the evenings and weekends. I also have help, if it is needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a dog run with it's own fencing. Every evening I sit out on the deck, and try to engage with my animals. I say try because they do not know what fetch is, but they understand keep-away. We also enjoy taking car rides and walks.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
She dealt with very high energy 11 month old Pitbull puppy.(Xena) is very sweet and affectionate which also leads to potential scratching,and borderline tackling from a puppy who's built like " The Terminator". She plays rough , but she is oblivious to this.Pick up and drop off times were easily arrainged and maintained. Lauren is easy to get along with and sympathetic to how much it was breaking my heart to leave 'my baby'. I picked up my pup to find her happy,healthy and the aforementioned affectionate. I would recomend Lauren and would trust her with my dog again. Daryl H.
Brianna was absolutely amazing, and I cannot thank her enough. She stepped in at very short notice when I was extremely concerned about my dog’s safety with a previous sitter, and she quite literally rescued my puppy. Brianna handled the situation calmly, professionally, and with genuine care. When she collected Meisie, she immediately made sure she was safe, warm, and comfortable, and kept me informed throughout. From the moment Meisie was in her care, I felt an enormous sense of relief. It’s very clear that Brianna truly cares about animals and takes their wellbeing seriously. She went above and beyond in a stressful situation, and I am incredibly grateful to her. I would trust her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Summit home-away-from-home, 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 Summit.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 and your Summit 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 , 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 .
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.
