“Kimberly has been an exemplary dog sitter for our dachshund, Charlie. During a stressful time with flight cancellations, she responded immediately and followed all our instructions carefully. She picked Charlie up, cared for him with genuine warmth, and made him feel like part of her family. We felt so much peace knowing he was well cared for. I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.”
“I feel so blessed to have found Krista to care for our pets! She immediately put us at ease knowing that they would be well taken care while we were gone. Her updates and videos of their activities were very much appreciated. With all the love Krista showed our pups, we were worried they wouldn't want to leave. She really goes out of her way to make sure the dogs in her care are comfortable and have the best time. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience!”
“Joey does a wonderful job with our Zoey! He helped me feel so comfortable leaving her for the first time for a week. Zoey also loves her short daycare visits with Bluna's Buddies.”
“Angelica was absolutely amazing! This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly nervous about leaving Koda with someone new. She took the time to allow us to come to her house first so Koda could meet her and get comfortable. She was so kind, patient, and never rushed him, letting him explore and warm up at his own pace. Throughout the entire 4-day stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious Koda was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, and it was clear he had been treated like part of the family. If you’re a doodle owner, you know how anxious they can be. Koda had zero accidents the entire time, which says so much about how comfortable and cared for he felt. That alone meant the world to us. I truly can’t recommend Angelica enough. As long as she’s available, I won’t be using anyone else to watch Koda. Thank you, Angelica (and sweet Milly!) for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“I highly recommend Dee Dee and her loving family to take special care of your dog. They truly treated my dog Cooper like one of their family. My senior age dog has some separation anxiety issues and is noise sensitive, and the family was patient and kind to him as he settled in to the new environment. Cooper got lots of ball throws from the kids in the back yard and lots of snuggles at night. I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. I got to relax on my vacation knowing my dog was living his “Other” Best Life! This is family that wants to do Rover because they just love dogs and they want to be blessed by having a dog in their home. I could just feel the love and care that this family showered my precious dog with.”
“Abigial is the best sitter i could have imagined! She was super responsive and caring with my dog and i could tell my dog had a great time with her. I will definitely be rebooking with her and i definitely recommend her!”
“My boy had such a great time with Theresa! I would 100% contact her again to watch my Ace if needed! I received wonderful pictures and videos of him having fun and relaxing there. I was able to visit my husband out of state and have peace of mind that he’s being taken care of back home! Thank you so much! <3”
“I have a 6 month old malinois mix who needs a lot of wearing out.. she excepted him last minute..I was very comfortable leaving him.. he's nice and worn out when I get him after work.. definitely will be bring him back if she excepts his craziness..”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. From fostering all the way to volunteering at animal rehabilitation clinics, I've enjoyed every part of the journey. Along the way, I realized that my true passion is providing a home to senior dogs, especially those that are considered to need hospice care. My family and I are all animal lovers. Our home is quite lively but we have plenty of room to also provide a quiet and calm environment for your dog should that be something they are needing or simply more accustomed to. Pet care is part of daily life in our home. We have one small dog and two cats, all of which of course need care every day. We provide a loving home for pets which includes lots of cuddling, playing, feeding and access to a large fenced-in backyard. We like to learn more about new dogs and their home environment before they enter our home so that we can ensure their safety as well as the safety of our own pets and children who will be present at the time of pet sitting and/or boarding.
“Christina was fantastic! She sent me daily picture and video updates of Bandit. Her response time was excellent and most of all, Bandit was happy. I highly recommend Christina to care for your fur baby.”
“Kristen was absolutely amazing. Was able to book her last minute within two days of our trip which was a life saver. She made me feel so comfortable and treated Knox like part of the family. She sent plenty of updates, pics & videos to make sure I knew he was doing well. Knox had a blast with their family and I am so so so thankful for them taking care of our baby. Would definitely use them again!”
“Rachel was awesome!! I took my pup Hazel to her for boarding. She kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of Hazel. I will definitely recommend her and will be returning. Thank you so much Rachel.”
“Wendy and her family do a wonderful job caring for our dog Lulu. We had a family emergency last minute and she replied right away to confirm she would be available. Wendy does great staying in communication and providing updates which eases our anxiety while we are out. Thank you Wendy for making our doggie boarding experience easy, and for taking such good care of Lulu.”
“We left our two cats with Xiaoying for almost three weeks over the Christmas break, and it truly felt like a mini-vacation for them as well. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a wonderful time at her place — they barely wanted to leave when it was time to go home! Their coats were soft and silky, a clear sign they were relaxed, happy, and very well cared for. As always, Xiaoying sent us daily updates and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re certain our cats will be looking forward to their next stay with her!”
“Alanah was simply AWESOME! ✋🏾 I was truly impressed and satisfied with the quality of care Alanah gave my dog Josey..From start to finish, Alanah understood how to integrate Josey into their household. Josey totally enjoyed her stay!”
“Emely was wonderful to work with! She sent photos every day and kept me updated throughout, which gave me peace of mind. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and made everything so easy. I would definitely work with her again!”
“Bingo loves Jenny and her family. We tried other dog sitters before and Bingo was never happy. Jenny changed that. Bingo comes home happy because she had a great time at Jenny's. We will never go to another dog sitter again. We highly recommend Jenny.”
“I really feel comfortable with leaving Buddy with Melissa and Richard. This will be my 3rd or 4th time booking them. I love how they send concise updates and images/videos. They are very responsive and welcoming. They allow me to make sure Buddy is comfortable before I leaving. If I could give them more than 5 Stars, I would!”
“Chloe once again took incredible care of my boy! She is patient and I can tell she truly gets to know the animal, their likes, wants, needs, etc. I will trust her again and again. Thank you, Chloe🤍”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
96% of sitters in Terra Cotta 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 Terra Cotta 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 Terra Cotta.
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 Terra Cotta. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Terra Cotta 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.
