“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.”
“Krista is the very best sitter! She went above and beyond our expectations. We booked her because of her outstanding reviews and number of repeat customers. We can definitely understand why the pet parents appreciate her so much now. We were initially worried about boarding our 5 month old Goldendoodle for the first time. But seeing how immaculately clean and pet-proofed her home was, ready to receive and provide happy home to pups, how gentle and attentive she was to our Ramyeon we were immediately comforted. Our pup is generally easy; but so picky with food. She hand fed him, played with him, cuddled him lots, and encouraged him to finish his meals. His stay was fully documented with videos and updates. We were afraid Ramyeon won’t want to come home with because he was so loved there. It was evident how he grew very attached to her. Thank you so much, Krista! Ramyeon loves the toy you gave him.”
“Joseph was a great sitter for Beau. We needed care for 5 days. Joseph was responsive and provided photos and videos. Beau was well taken care of. We plan to seek Joseph's services again.”
“Angelica was absolutely wonderful with Oreo! She took such great care of her while we were away from Friday through Tuesday. She kept me updated every single day with lots of photos and little messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Oreo was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also loved seeing her interact with Angelica’s cats, it looked like she had a great time! Angelica is such a kind, caring, and thoughtful person, and I truly appreciated all the love she gave Oreo. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

“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”

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a caring, dependable, and attentive dog sitter who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when someone else is caring for your furry family member, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m happy to give them the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I’m also committed to following your pet’s routine and your care instructions so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for their owners, and lots of tail wags! 🐶❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Your pup will feel right at home with me! 🐶❤️ I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and enjoy plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard with grass where dogs can safely get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime. I take safety seriously and make sure the gates are securely closed and checked to help prevent any unexpected escapes. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family and have a calm, welcoming space to rest and feel comfortable. I follow each dog’s feeding, potty, walking, and medication routines according to their owner’s instructions. My priority is making sure every pup is safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. 🐾
“Christine and Rodney were awesome! They were able to help at the last minute when our house sitter had an emergency. We don’t board our dog much, so the steady stream of pics and videos really helped us feel comfortable. Will definitely use them again!”
“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.

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.
