“OMGoodness. My Eddie will be 16 years old, can barely see and hear. Doug and Marisol took such care of him. Sent pics everyday to ease my worries. They notice Eddie wasn’t feeling well so we pick him up before we left; got him to the vet, Medication and back to Doug and Marisol in time to start of our vacation. We have canceled so many vacations because it so hard to leave him. Now we can vacation, we trust Doug and Marisol!!! Trust is huge!!”
“We love Emily! Our cocker spaniel has stayed with her twice now and comes home happy and healthy. The last time we dropped her off, she could tell when we were getting closer to Emily's house and was getting so excited! She ran right inside without looking back and was excited to play. Leaving her with Emily brings us such peace and reassurance knowing she is in good hands. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our sweet fur baby! Thank you so much, Emily!”
“Tyler is amazing! Cabo and Rambo loved being cared for by Tyler. They got to run around and play. Tyler has a passion for what he does and he loves animas especially dogs! I highly recommend anyone who needs someone trustworthy to watch their pets to choose Tyler with confidence. He has the best attitude and loves my pups which makes me feel at ease. I will be bringing both of my boys back to him soon!”
“Ms. Pilar was beyond exceptional I really loved how she cared for my 2 dogs I came back a little later than I wanted to but she was very understanding about the situation. I received messages every day from her as well as photos of the dogs. She took them on lots of walks and provided love and care for them as they were her very own. I recommend her Kai is a lot more calmer since he has been home. I recommend Ms. Pilar to everyone she is the best and has a true love for the dogs in her care. Thanks Ms. Pilar we appreciate you Prince and Kai Miss you as well.”
“David and Jeanette were great! Had my dog Piper stay with their family for 3 nights and she looked like she had a great time. Great communication and photos and easy to chat with! Thank you!”
“I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my goldendoodle. Jean Pierre was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and even extended my booking last minute to accommodate a change in my plans. Most importantly, my dog loved it! In fact, she probably would have been happy staying longer she had so much fun! I will definitely be taking her back to Jean Pierre in the future.”
“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”
“Lisa was amazing again! She was extremely flexible and took care of Kona on very short notice. Kona had a blast staying with Lisa and her Golden Retriever, Juniper. Lisa was very dependable and followed Kona's strict diet and medications that he needed. I totally trust her to take care of Kona and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“This was our pup’s first time staying away from us, and I can’t express how much Raquel made our family feel at ease. She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. From the moment we met Raquel and her daughters, they gave off such amazing, welcoming vibes. I knew right away that our dogs were in great hands. Our dogs went straight to them without any hesitation, and as we all know, dogs have a great sense of character. They definitely knew they were with good people. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Thank you, Raquel and your family, for making our first boarding experience such a positive and stress-free one. We truly appreciate everything you did!”
“So so sad that our two dogs Mike & Finn won’t be able to stay with Todd & Bill since we’re heading to the east coast. Wish we could take them with us! Our boys are always so happy when they arrive at Todd & Bill’s and we always get plenty of pictures. Truly going to miss them and their care for our two dogs. Excellent service and would highly recommend to anyone looking for your dogs to have a home away from home! Thank you guys for all the times you’ve watched our pups!!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Stacey and Christopher were wonderful! They kept us up to date with photos, and a report card after the stay. Definitely would use them again. Lola was well taken care of. Thank you!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this family! They took such great care of our dog, Junie, for two days and treated her like she was part of their own family. They kept us updated, made sure she was comfortable and well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Junie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We are so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely trust them to care for Junie again. Highly recommend!”
“Holly was an amazing sitter for Hazel. I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Rhonda was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and made him feel right at home in her lovely, safe, and welcoming home. He had a great weekend with her, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. Rhonda was also very responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Rhonda for your pup and will definitely be booking with her again!”

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 The Willows 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 The Willows.
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 The Willows 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.
