“This is the 3rd time Olive has stayed with Lauren and Ben. They are always really flexible when I need to change my plans, send regular updates with pictures, and , most importantly, Olive seems to love staying there. I will definitely book again with them.”

“Jennifer is amazing! This was Mandy's first stay and she had a wonderful time. Lots of loving attention and walks and playtime. Jen sent me photos and text updates on her activities. I was having a great weekend in Lake Tahoe with my family and I know Mandy had a fabulous time with Jen and her dogs! Jennifer is my go to sitter from now on.”

“Five star +++ experience. I almost hate to leave a review because we want them all to ourselves! Lori & Frank treated my dogs like their own — they showered them with love and attention and took exceptional care of them. They sent adorable pictures and kept me updated (without being annoying about it) while I was out of the country for 9 days. They have a lovely cozy dog-friendly home, and a very nice fully fenced yard. They are both super kind dog lovers and also responsible adults so you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pooch or pooches in their care. Just the best.”

“We were very happy with Loki’s care. They were kind and everything went smoothly. Loki really enjoyed spending time with their family and felt comfortable and happy. We also appreciated the effort they made to speak French with Loki. Thank you for taking care of him, and we would be happy to contact you again in the future. 🐾”

“Dustin was awesome. He is very attentive to the dogs and was completely engaged with them. Our two pups had an amazing time especially being able to enjoy the wide open spaces of Dustin’s vast property. It was a social adventure and they came back better for it. Thank you Dustin from both Avi & Daniel!”

“Lillie was great! She was super easy to communicate with and let us come by for a meet and greet first. Baloo appreciated the AC in her house and seemed happy and tired when I picked him up. We would use Lillie again!”

“Wonderful sitter! Took great care of Scout and kept me updated with photos/videos. Scout went on fun hikes and looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!”


“Had a really good experience with Patricia while we were in out of town. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Bo while we were away. We appreciated the updates and knowing she was being looked after. It made traveling a lot less stressful, and we came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use her and her nice family again!”

“Robert sent updates everyday and I knew Riley and Luma were spoiled at his house. Riley is a senior and needs eye drops twice a day, Robert was understanding and provided what she needed.”

“Our Golden Doodle & our Pug spent 3 nights with Brandie and her family. The Boys got to play with other dogs in the backyard and be loved by Brandies family! Thank you Brandie, I know they will want to come play for the day very soon!”

“This was the second time my dog Ollie was boarded at Jamies house. It was for two weeks. I received pictures of Ollie and updates on his well being. Jamie has been prompt in responding to my communications. Ollie was obviously happy, well cared for and took his time leaving their house when I picked him up . I will be using Jamie’s service in the future.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something that genuinely brings me so much joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll give them the same love and patience I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to become your dog’s favorite sitter and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I currently work a full-time job from 7:30 AM to 4 PM, but most of my evenings are free and weekends perfect if you need a sitter for a weekend getaways or a night out! I live on a 2 acre property and my roommate has a very friendly border collie that gets along with almost anything, I usually watch her if my roommate is out of town!

“Tamara is a lovely woman and is the perfect dog sitter for our retriever! She's a true dog person and took great care of our boy. When we picked him up we could tell he had a good time with her and her other doggies (aka Jasper's New Pals). Thank you Tamara!”

“Hsiaolei provided Lulu the absolute best attention and care. They were extremely attentive to her needs, taking her on loads of hikes because she is an energetic dog. The photos she sent us during our time away showed Lulu visibly smiling, whether on her pad by the fire or out on a walk. I highly recommend Hsiaolei!”


About: I’ve loved animals since I was young and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since March 2021, and he’s very much part of my family. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around and getting to know their different personalities. I’m home full-time, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and company throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing, hanging out, and just having a dog around while I go about my day. I’m also someone who pays attention to the little details and will make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and patience I’d want someone to give Simba. I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet your pup and hopefully become someone they’re excited to see! I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and am around the house throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, take them for walks, and keep them company rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I already have a regular routine with my own dog, Simba, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’ll be caring for pets in my home, where I have a fenced yard that gives dogs a safe place to get outside, play, and explore. I’m home full-time, so pets will have plenty of supervision and company throughout the day. I’ve had my own dog, Simba, since 2021 and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m very attentive to their behavior and individual needs, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, food, and making sure they’re comfortable in a new environment. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying with a friend rather than being somewhere unfamiliar. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Sylvie and her family were so wonderful! She provided great communication, sharing walks and snuggles through daily photos with us. Our two pups were having the best time! Sylvie and her family treated our dogs like family, highly recommend and would book again! Thank you Sylvie!”

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 Tomales 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 Tomales.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tomales 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.
