“Rachel was absolutely wonderful!! She sent me updates & photos of my little guy while I was away to let me know he was okay. I knew he would be the moment I met her but it was still very nice to see his face for reassurance. I will definitely book her again if I’m back in the area. Thank you Rachel 😊”
“Robyn is amazing!! I got a puppy for my birthday one week before we were scheduled to go out of town for 3 nights, I was so beyond anxious to leave my puppy because we had just gotten her settled and honestly I didn't think I could trust anyone else to care for her. I chose Robyn based off of her amazing reviews and how quick she was to respond to me and put me at ease. My 9 week old puppy was very safe and well loved and cared for while I was gone, Robyn was very quick to respond to all of my messages and sent me updates and photos while we were out of town. I would absolutely recommend anyone considering a house or dog sitter to go with Robyn, take it from a highly anxious new dog mom! We will definitely book with her again if we go out of town. :)”
“Marla is so calm and kind- her love of dogs shows in the great care she gave our two pups! This was the first time we left one of our dogs with a sitter and he seemed to do so well and clearly happy with the care. We hope to have Marla back to take care of our pups on our next trip away.”
“Tori was caring, capable and the dogs seemed very cared for. She followed all their directions for care. Her place has lots of dirt but they were very clean when we returned . She was very flexible with my dates. I would book again.”
“Kiara was really easy to coordinate with and answer questions, and even do a pre-meeting prior to reservation so that we could make sure my dog was a good fit. I know he had a great time and I will come back next time I need boarding. Thanks Kiara and fam!”
“Ora took care of my baby for 4 days. She is a loving and caring host. She kept sharing updates, pictures and videos during the entire stay and I was really happy with her service. It was like a nice vacation for my baby. He was all happy when I picked him. I'll use Ora's service again.”
“Poppy had a great weekend with Krissy and Erick. We received lots of photos and it was clearly Poppy had a blast playing with the other dogs her size. We felt at ease leaving her, and we will absolutely be booking with them again next time we need someone to look after Poppy.”
“What a great family! They took several photos every day and lots of walks! I could tell my Spencer was well loved....when I picked him up he was so excited and kept going back to Shamaraha to share his excitement with her. He truly bonded with the whole family and I am sure he will be so excited to see their little 9yr old Fiona in December 🥰🥰❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
About: I would always help my sister take care of dogs when she was animal sitting on rover. I currently am babysitting and working for Respite so I have experience in childcare. I love animals and would love to make some extra money as a college student. I am currently attending Cuesta College twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im free after 3 o’clock when my classes are over. Every other day of the week I am free all day. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and welcome in my home. Im very clean, and if sitting at your house I will be respectful of the space.
“So thankful we found Kara. She gave such great overnight care to our two puppies. They seemed to fit in well with her home. We will definitely use Kara again when we come back to the central coast wine country.”
About: I have nearly two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I learned safe animal handling, basic pet care, and how to help animals feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. As an Animal Science student, I am also building my knowledge of animal behavior and care. I’ll treat your pet with patience, attention, and the same care I would want for my own. I’m currently a third year student at Cal Poly, with classes on most weekdays for a few hours in the afternoon, usually sometime between 12–4 PM. I am available all day on weekends and can provide full-time weekend boarding. I can also board pets during the week if owners are comfortable with their pet being alone for a few hours while I am in class. Your pet will have plenty of space to relax and move around in my pet friendly home. I have a backyard for supervised, leashed potty breaks and playtime, as well as a safe, walkable neighborhood for daily walks. I will follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and comfort routines as closely as possible, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Leaving Harmony with someone new was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done. She has never stayed with a stranger before, and I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for nine days while I traveled to Orlando for my nephew’s graduation. From the very beginning, Sandra was kind, communicative, and reassuring. A few days into my trip, Harmony became very sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and accidents in Sandra’s apartment, including blood in her stool. I felt terrible that Harmony was sick and also horrible that Sandra was having to deal with such a stressful situation in her home. What stood out to me was Sandra’s level of care and compassion. She never made me feel like Harmony was a burden. Instead, she immediately went to the store to get pumpkin to help settle her stomach, kept me updated constantly, and when things worsened, she let me know she believed Harmony needed to see a vet. Sandra took Harmony to the vet herself, called me from the appointment, and even put me on speakerphone so I could speak directly with the veterinarian and be part of the conversation every step of the way. Multiple times I asked Sandra if she thought I needed to come home early, and she told me she would absolutely tell me if she felt that was necessary. Because of Sandra, I was able to stay and watch my nephew graduate knowing Harmony was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while I was away. Not once did I question whether Harmony was receiving the best care possible. I came home today to a well cared for dog, and I truly cannot thank Sandra enough. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and handle even difficult situations with patience, compassion, and professionalism, book Sandra. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our first experience using Rover, and it’s all thanks to our incredible sitter, Cami! As first-time users, we were a little nervous leaving our 7-month-old miniature dachshund, but from the very beginning, Cami made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent—frequent updates and adorable photos enabled us to enjoy our time away from the lil ween without worrying about him. It was obvious that Cami genuinely cared for him and understood the quirks of a young, energetic dachshund. She was patient, attentive, and provided a safe and fun environment for him to explore, play, and nap like a champ. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly exceptional with dogs—especially pups with high energy—look no further. We will book again and feel so lucky to have found Cami, whom we can trust completely with our fur baby! Highly, highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Ashley went out of her way to meet with us prior to get to know our Kylo. She was very welcoming and understanding of Kylo’s needs. Kylo even got a field trip to her work! We will definitely be asking for future stays! ?”
“As an out-of-towner visiting Cambria, Jennifer was in a very convenient proximity to our lodging next to Moonstone Beach (less than 10 minutes away). First off, very calm and approachable demeanor making my dog at ease and peace of mind on my end. Great communication with me throughout day and even told us to take our time and enjoy the day out if needed—so cool! If i am ever in the Central Coast again making a road trip through PCH, I will not hesitate to use her again. Also note, if you lodge with one of the hotels nearby Cambria, they have a list of sitters that are highly recommended. Keep in mind, Jennifer is just as close by to the referrals given and is definitely a more competitive and suitable option.”
“Natalie was wonderful! She gave our pup lots of love and attention and kept us updated with photos. Our dog is large and very strong and she was able to walk him with no issues as Natalie is a very confident dog sitter and able to remain gentle and in control. We felt at ease knowing Natalie was taking great care of him.”

Marissa and her family were great! They have a nice property for dogs and our dog was immediately comfortable there with them. It was the first time that we’ve left our puppy with strangers and we were so happy with Marissa’s services! We got good vibes from the get go and Marissa sent updates with photos and videos, so we could see that our pup was totally happy. She has som much fun playing with her little dog, Bailey, and Kahlua was a sweetie. She wasn’t as interested in playing but she’s an easy going dog. We were nervous to leave our 5 mos. old puppy but had tickets to a music festival that we purchased long before we adopted our pup and it worked out really well. We had peace of mind and Marissa was exactly as her profile described. Our dog was happy and had no issues. Thankfully, our pup fit right in and behaved well (at least she said she did) but we could tell Marissa was chill and would be able to handle our puppy regardless. Definitely highly recommend Marissa and will use her again if we go up north again.
Rachel was fabulous! She kept me updated with Molly's activities and shared lots of pictures. It was obvious that Molly's was very happy and well-cared for there. She had Rachel's children to play with as well as her dog. I was a bit anxious because this was the first time we boarded Molly, but it turned out far better than expected. I will definitely use her services again! So happy!

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
97% of sitters in Templeton 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 Templeton 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 Templeton.
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 Templeton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Templeton 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.
