“Makenna was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute, same-day booking, which we really appreciated. She was kind, a great communicator, and sent us lots of updates/pictures throughout our dog’s stay. We felt our senior dog was in great hands! We’d definitely book with her again!”
“I would highly recommend Jacquelyn! She was very good with both of my young Rhodesian Ridgebacks, she was great with communication and flexibility. This was the first time I had left my young dogs somewhere other than home and with a new person, using positive training methods and a kind heart she set them up for a good experience. We are very grateful!”
“Sean was great. Athena is high energy and took her on many walks. The pictures received shows she was comfortable in the home, and received updates throughout the day. I am very thankful of the service provided and would absolutely recommend them.”
“Denise was so incredibly accommodating for my little guy who recently injured himself. Barney is usually super shy but he LOVED Denise. I know she watched him like he was her own baby and I’m so glad we found each other. I am so grateful!! Thank you so much Denise!”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful for our Tika! She went on a couple of walks, met school age kids and visited a lemonade stand. Lisa updated me with pictures throughout the day! Tika was loved and had a great day! We highly recommend Lisa and her family for your fur babies care!”
About: Hi everyone I’m new to Rover but I would love to give your dog the best day ever! I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life as my background. Now I have two mini dachshunds of my own that are the sweetest and goofy boys. I took time off work when I got chili (first pup) to ensure he was trained from day one and well taken care of. Went back to work for another year and now have decided to quit my corporate job because I wasn’t fulfilled to now pursue this career full time. Since I’m new I have cheap prices to build myself up but my goal is to start my own doggy day care full time. If you can help me with my dream that would be so appreciated! Please reach out if you have any questions, I will be happy to connect. :) I have a dog of my own so taking care of him everyday and any minute I’m home. I have a hybrid job so depending on the day but he is walked before I leave and as soon as I get back. I always make sure he is fed, walked, played with, and he gets tons of cuddles more than he probably wants. I will care for them in every way that the owner says or the pets needs. I’m structured, understanding, and flexible. If you leave me a list of to do or specific requirements I will make sure they get done and on time. I’m healthy young adult who has no problem playing or taking a dog on a long walk.
“Kayla was very helpful with my pup that has separation anxiety. She provided updates with how he did and was transparent about his anxiety. We will definitely be using her support again :)”
About: I used to have 27 cats and 2 dogs in my apartment. Many of them are picked up from the street or sick. After I work with the pet doctor, I training them, and help the autism and mental disabled people and seniors people. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekends and weeks day. My apartment has no other pet right now! And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.
“Vanessa was great. We had a family emergency and were out of town. She allowed a meet and greet on short notice. She was very communicative and helped care for my timid dog. It helped me be more at ease knowing my dog was in good hands while tending to our family and being gone for a whole day.”
“Turned to Rover when I needed help on short notice. Thankfully Monique was available and after a brief get to know you meeting I book a day of care for Daisy. It couldn’t have gone better! I was immediately comfortable that Monique would be great with Daisy. She gave us lots of updates and pictures during the day and everything went smoothly. I would recommend Monique to care for your pet without hesitation.”
“Heather is super caring and dog friendly. My dog Sokka knows when we pull up to her house because gets super excited and whiny. He fairly launches out of the car to get to her door.”
“As always, Dexter was a very happy boy hanging with his friends, so much so he ran back into the room with Nick and Mika. He wanted to stay! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Jessica and her husband James did a great job looking after our dog! They took her on a nice hike and she came back a very happy and tired pup. They were very responsive and friendly and we would definitely use them again!”
“Treana went out of her way to care for my two dogs. I needed someone last minute and she was able to help me out. By far the best sitter I’ve experienced, she updated me throughout the day with photos/videos. She was very communicative and responded quick. She took our dogs to the beach. She fed them and was able to give my dog the medicine he needed. Whenever we are in town we will definitely use her again. She exceeded my expectations by far! I felt really comfortable being out all day knowing my dogs were being well cared for so thank you so much!”
About: I enjoy spending lots of time playing, walking and even a little training. I have also had senior dogs that need a little extra care and attention. I am recently unemployed and have lots of time available. I would love nothing more than to help as many pets/pet parents as I can. Dogs can enjoy lots of play time and walks as well as maybe a little place time and snacks. I have had senior dogs as well that just need some down time and cuddles. I have a big fenced in backyard that allows for lots of playtime or maybe some rest in the shade.
“Cheryline was incredibly friendly, flexible, and made the whole process so easy. She took great care of Charlie, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Magdalena was incredibly accommodating and provided amazing care and fun for our golden retriever. Cleo came back tired and we could tell she had a great time with their family. She provided a safe and welcome environment and we would love to have Cleo stay with her again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunset Beach
Caitlin was fantastic! She sent so many photo and video updates throughout the day, which I absolutely loved — it made me feel so at ease being away from Toby. Her two dachshunds were wonderful with him too; they were sweet, gently playful, and the three of them got along really well together. Caitlin was also great about working with my schedule, even with a pretty early morning drop-off. Would 100% book with her again — highly recommend!
Lisa and her family were wonderful and loving to our Tika. Tika has a home away from home! She will be spending a week with them soon. I’m so happy that I can leave and know Tika is in loving and caring hands! What I love the most is that they understand her playfulness and curiosity. I highly recommend this family for your fur babies!!
Our dog Lexi made herself at home with Carrie, Sean, their son, and their two dogs. We got pictures of her relaxing and enjoying herself. Lexi got along with their mellow dogs. We were also happy that they have a young son because Lexi loves children. Arrival and departure were on time and easy. We will be booking with them again.
Megan and her family were so kind, loving, and attentive to our dogs. They sent photos, gave them lots of toys to play with, walked them several times during the day, had treats and even gave them baths! My frenchies can be a bit demanding and they took such great care of them, I felt totally at ease leaving our doggies with them. 🥰 We would love to book with them again when we’re back in the area!
Kayla is an amazing dog sitter! She has excellent communication & sent several pictures throughout the day. She was also very flexible with a last minute request and went above and beyond with walks, ensuring that my fur baby was nice and tired. Would absolutely recommend!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Sunset Beach 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 6,894 sitters in Sunset Beach, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
