“Our pooches had the best time with Kathy & and her awesome dog gypsy! Her home was very warm and welcoming and the dogs loved the yard space, too! We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!!”
About: I have dogsat consistently for the last year and have also volunteered in animal shelters since high school. I can board small dogs and love dog walking and sitting all dogs. I work mostly from home except for needing to leave the house a few times a week to teach in person. On the weekends I usually hike and can easily take a dog with me! My apartment can only accompany a small dog but I have experience dog sitting dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m a very careful dog sitter, and will make sure your dog stays safe and house stays clean.
“Christina was our little pup Shazam’s very first sitter over a decade ago during the dogvaycay.com days but when it transitioned to Rover, we couldn’t find her until just recently. So happy to have found her again and our now senior little guy Shazam still loved his time with her after all these years!”
“Megan took wonderful care of our dog, Rose. Our dog has special dietary requirements and Megan accommodated her needs. Rose came home happy and well cared for. Thank you, Megan!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past six years, I’ve helped raise four puppies and regularly care for dogs belonging to family and friends, sometimes having up to six dogs in my home at once. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Lucy, and two cats. My home has hard floors, a doggie door, and a large, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I also love taking dogs out for walks and fresh air. I care for my grandbaby at home one day a week, so I keep a safe, calm, and well-managed environment. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs and love making visiting pups feel like part of the family. 🐾 My days vary, but because I work from home, I’m around most of the time. Aside from an occasional errand or Pilates class, you’ll usually find me in my home office, out in the yard, or spending time with the animals. Walks, playtime, backyard exploring, and plenty of cuddles naturally fit into my day, so visiting pups get lots of attention and companionship while they’re here. 🐾 My home is very pet-friendly and already set up with animals in mind. I have hard floors, a puppy-proofed environment, a doggie door, and a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I supervise introductions with Lucy and my two cats carefully. I’m also happy to separate pets or adjust the environment when needed so everyone feels safe and relaxed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on visiting pups and make sure they’re getting the right balance of play, rest, attention, and affection. 🐾
“We are so glad to have found Susan and her love for dogs and her perfect place for our big energy dogs that love to run. Thank you so much for helping us feel comfortable with leaving our dogs overnight for the first time!”
“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel through.”
“Kat and Corey did a great job hosting my dog over a long weekend! They sent daily updates and photos and kept her active on lots of adventures to the park, the lake, and on hikes. I will definitely book my dog with Kat and Corey again next time I go out of town.”
“Tim was fantastic! His communication with me prior to and during our sit was great. He sent photos and updates while he had Glacier and responded quickly when I had questions. Tim described a silly behavior of Glacier’s that he only does when he’s extremely happy, so I knew he was being well taken care of. Tim also took G on a walk along the river. Tim had another dog there while Glacier was there and seemed to easily be able to navigate the two during feeding times, play times, etc. Also a plus, his house is very easy to find! I absolutely recommend Tim!”
“I found a match for Rush--- Shawna and family were so loving. Shawna is just a great caring person who is sensitive to one's needs. She even sent me daily updates on how Rush was getting along: like text and even Rush's photos! wow ”
“My dog Mona had the best vacation with Mallory! Mona got to splash around in the creek and play with other dogs. I got regular photos and videos, and Mallory was super responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Tina is a wonderful hostess. WALL-E felt right at home.. actually more like a fun trip to Grandma's house!! Only because he had a freeing visit and a fun play time with Cinnamon!! One happy puppy was ready to go when we got there.. well almost, he was holding back on leaving he had such a great time. Thank you Tina and Ci namon”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner. I absolutely adore dogs and am especially comfortable caring for small dogs. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get lots of attention, company, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a small dog of my own, Pluto, who loves having a canine buddy around and is always excited to make a new friend. I plan to only host one additional small dog at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention and feels comfortable in my home. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your dog, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to be with the dogs throughout most of the day and can easily accommodate regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule is pretty consistent, and I’m home most weekdays as well as many weekends. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I only plan to host one small dog at a time in addition to my own dog, Pluto, so I can give each pup plenty of individual attention. I have a small, fully fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time, plus a cozy gated indoor dog area with beds, toys, and water for when I need to leave the house. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, sleeping, and potty routine, along with any special instructions you provide. Pluto is friendly and enjoys having another dog around, and I’ll make sure introductions are slow and comfortable for both dogs.
“I’m very pleased with Elaine. She’s just what I needed for a dog sitter. She’s responsive, knowledgeable and sent pictures and videos of my dog almost every day. I felt that my dog was safe and in a loving home. I will definitely be going back to her anytime I need a dog sitter. I feel I can relax knowing my dog’s in good hands with her.”
“Jennifer was great with my high energy lab-pit-Dane mix. Her backyard is securely fenced in for him to play without worry, made sure that he got a walk, and gave him a nice spot to chill out and sleep inside. Couldn’t ask for more! Thanks!”
“Patty and Randy were wonderful!! They are very kind and sweet people who took great care of our dog, Penny. When we went to pick up our pup, she was so happy to see us, yet we could tell she had been loved and felt comfortable in their home. Our pup jumped on us to say hello and jumped on Patty as to say goodbye, but thanks for watching me! :) We will definitely have Patty and Randy watch Penny again on our next trip!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Truckee
Incredible care! Nayla was able to accommodate a last minute booking with a flexible pick up time. She took my dog Ruby on a few pack walks & worked with her on recall. This nervous mama was very comfy leaving Ruby with Nayla. My dog came home soooo happy! Highly recommend Nayla!
Malea is the best! Our pup was very well looked after and he had a ton of fun playing with Malea’s dogs. Our pup was nursing a little injury BEFORE we dropped him to Malea and she was very intentional about checking in with us as it healed up. She treated our pup like her own. Will definitely be using her again. Her fenced in back yard is worth the price of admission on its own!

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.
98% of sitters in Truckee 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 Truckee home-away-from-home, 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 Truckee.
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 Truckee 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 , 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 .
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.
