“Our pups love staying with Lynn. They are treated like family every time - they love playing and cuddling with her pups! She is simply the best and we are so fortunate to have found her.”
“Thank you to Tara. Our dog Murphy was well taken care of during his time at Tara’s house. He was treated like a member of her family. We would definitely use Tara’s services again if we need to leave Murphy behind when we go away on a trip.”
“I had such a great experience with Tiffany and her family! This was my first time leaving George with someone unknown, and Tiffany made it so easy for me. Such a lovely family and so kind and loving to George. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jessica went out of her way to have our Belle for right in. She accommodated very specific dietary needs as well. Even was flexible with pick up time when our flight was delayed. All this over a holiday time period. We are very grateful for the daily pictures which ensured us of Belle’s comfort! The frosting on the cake was a little parting gift she sent is home with - we are very appreciative for all and will definitely use Jessica again!”

“Megan was great. She was very comfortable with doggy behaviors especially with my restless dogs getting there after a 500 mile drive. She didn’t hesitate to jump right in. They were happy and well cared for!”
“Jennifer and her family are the best! I never worry leaving our boy with them. He has so much fun and comes home tired. Jennifer was so flexible this time when we had to drop Cooper off a little early, thank you again!”
“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”
“Robert watched my pup for a couple of nights and he did great. He got to play with other dogs, went to the dog park, and got walked. Even better was that he got lots of cuddles. I trust Robert and will be using him again.”
About: I have cared for labs for the past 20 years. Raising them from puppies to seniors. I have taken puppy training and walking classes. I love to walk and hike trails. My daughters are grown. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am available some morning between 5:00am-6:30am, evenings 5:00-7:00pm and weekends are flexible between 5:00am -7:00pm. Animals are like my family. We go on walks, watch tv, help out in the garden. I have a fenced yard and grassy area in the backyard.
“Nicole and Jarrod were absolute dream sitters for my dog Lola. She is a high energy border collie / Aussie shep mix, and they provided her a weekend of nonstop adventure, stimulation and fun. They truly went above and beyond with their care - sending copious photos, and even giving sweet Lola a bath before pick up. Not to mention their pup Charlie is the sweetest companion to any new friend. Cannot recommend them enough!”
About: I have 4 years of experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a dog trainer, I have experience with everything from young puppies and basic obedience to advanced training and working with high-energy dogs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and making every dog feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with feeding routines, crate training, exercise, enrichment, and reinforcing training while owners are away. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my priority, and I will treat your pets like my own! My schedule is currently open and flexible, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s individual needs. Whether you need weekday, weekend, or holiday care, feel free to reach out so we can find a time that works best for you! I provide a relaxing, comfortable home environment where dogs can feel at ease. I make sure they’re fed well, get plenty of attention, and enjoy walks and trips to the park during the day or evening!
“Deborah is a phenomenal sitter. From the moment I met her, she was kind, welcoming, and warm- I instantly trusted her. I knew that she would be wonderful to my sweet dog, Ricky! She kept me up to date on all of Ricky's adventures while I was away and it truly made my weekend to see what he was up to! Also, as a nice perk- Deborah is an excellent photographer and the pictures were just amazing! (though she is quite humble about this fact). On our way home we hit awful traffic and she was so understanding & accommodating. I'm really happy I decided to spend a little more money for truly quality pet care- plus, her home is simply beautiful, I know my dog felt comfy for sure. Thank you so much!”
About: I have a home full of love to give along with a big back yard for play! Plenty of grass as well as dirt areas for those who like to dig. My senior dog, Charlie, a female terrier mix is friendly and inviting, just as we like to be! I am a stay at home mom so your fur babies will never be alone! Just like my own kids, I understand routine is very important and promise to care for your pets as you would in your own home. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your fur baby feel safe and secure, as I would accept nothing but the same for my own! About this sitter: A caregiver by nature, I have always had a lot of love to give! Grew up on a farm and can honestly say I have no memories of life without some kind of fur baby in my life. Now that I am creating a home for my own children, I want them to grow in the same atmosphere. Our home will always be open to help and care for anyone and anything in need! I have a pet friendly home with a large backyard to play. My senior dog is friendly and welcoming along with 3 cats who love to do their own thing (all are fixed and well behaved). From snuggling on the couch to crate training, depending on your preference, my home has it all. Not to mention a family of animal lovers to make sure your fur baby gets all the love they could ever want!
“Anna watched my 6month old kitty, Glacier. She sent pictures and regular updates and my kitty seemed to enjoy having a new place to explore and play in! She was clearly well taken care of.”
“This was our first time not only using Rover but leaving our 5 month old puppy. Booking with Bridget was easy and she responded quickly. She had our little Moofasa for a weekend. We were a nervous wreck leaving our little guy but she kept in contact with us throughout his stay and shared pictures! She took him to the park and to the beach. From the pictures it looked like he had a great weekend and it made us feel better about leaving him. We would definitely book Bridget again. We had no issues with her and can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our puppy!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tambo
Danielle and her family took amazing care of our sweet Cassie! I’m so picky about who I leave my dog with, and I am beyond pleased with Cassie’s stay. I can tell she had so much fun with her and her family, including their dogs! She acted as if she didn’t want to leave, which was a great sign and comforting to me! I would 100% book her again, and I highly recommend her as well!

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 Tambo 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 Tambo.
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.
You and your Tambo 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.
