About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. From my first kitten at age five to the dogs and cats I care for today, I’ve always believed pets are part of the family. I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs in my care receive daily walks, along with plenty of attention and personalized care. I work from home full-time so your pet will get lots of time and attention from me. I want you to feel at ease with me watching your animal. I have a fenced in patio and a nice big yard in the front that I can walk your dog on a leash for potty breaks. I also live across the street from a very nice large park where I am happy to take the dog for some playtime.
“Alyssa and her family and loving and wonderful care takers! We were so grateful for our young pup to be taken care by them. We were especially grateful that they were able to extend our timeframe last minute with no hassle or issue. Thank you!”
“Kimberly was great! She took excellent care of Jax and made him feel right at home. I’m definitely looking forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
About: Hi! I’m a kind, gentle, and soft-hearted animal lover with 15 years of experience caring for animals. Keeping pets happy, safe, comfortable, and loved is always my top priority. I have been pet sitting for nearly 5 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs company, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra patience and affection, I will treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own pet. As I am relatively new to Rover, I am currently offering an affordable introductory rate for bookings from September 25 through October 4. This is a great opportunity to receive reliable, loving pet care at a lower price. I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I work remotely and my work schedule varies so I can easily find plenty of time to take care of the doggos. Nothing better than taking care of doggos in free time. Right? I live in a house with a backyard. There is a big park right across my home. There is a dog group that get together everyday evening for play.
“Shaka seemed to have a great day at Monisa and David’s house. She even got a nice brushing from Monisa! We feel so lucky to have gotten a referral to Monisa and David from one of their neighbors. We plan to try to book both day care and overnights with Monisa whenever they are available and we have the need. I’m learning they are VERY popular with other pup parents, so booking early is important. Thanks for a perfect first stay for Shaka!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities and energy levels, from playful and active dogs who need lots of exercise to more relaxed pets who just want some company and cuddles. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding instructions, schedules, and household rules. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am currently working part time at a local restaurant and attending college online so I am always home and available to care for doggies! I have a fenced yard that is big and has lots of grass, including a dog run. I also have 1 friendly dog named snoop that loves to play.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience volunteering with dog rescues, fostering dogs, and caring for pups of all personalities. I also founded a nonprofit dog rescue to help street dogs in India, so providing safe, loving care isn't just something I do, it's a big part of my life. I'm especially experienced with shy, fearful dogs and dogs with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel secure. I welcome dog-friendly adult dogs into my home, where they'll be treated like family. Your pup will enjoy multiple walks each day, plenty of playtime and cuddles, lots of photo updates, and almost constant companionship. I mostly work from home with occasional outings of about 3 to 4 hours when necessary. My goal is for every dog to have their own little vacation while you're away, with plenty of love, enrichment, and personalized care, so you can relax knowing they're happy, safe, and well cared for. easily adapt to each dog's routine and individual needs. A typical day includes a walk first thing in the morning, another around lunchtime, one in the evening, and a final walk before bedtime. Dogs are fed twice a day (or according to their normal schedule), with lots of playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and potty breaks throughout the day. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable by maintaining a routine that's as close as possible to what they're used to at home. Every dog adjusts to a new environment differently, so I always let them set the pace. I give new dogs time to decompress, explore, and get comfortable without overwhelming them. Building trust comes first. I follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. My home is calm, safe, and dog-friendly, and I closely supervise interactions to make sure every dog feels secure. My goal is to create a low-stress environment where your dog can relax, feel at home, and enjoy their stay.
“My Siberian Husky came back very happy and tired from a fun full day! I really appreciated that he got a long walk first thing and had company and play time all day in a safe, clean house. Really gave me peace of mind and helped me out with my after-work evening errands to have a calm tired dog.”

“Reeti and her family watched Sparky at their home daily for a week. I dropped sparky off in the morning and Picked him up in the evening and Reeti was annle to accommodate my early morning drop off time. I was worried because Sparky is wary about people outside the family and he became comfortable from the first day he stayed and it was great! Reeti sent photos that eased my mind and took sparky on walks and he now loves Reeti, her husband and children! I booked additional drop off and pick ups with her and now Sparky runs into their house without even looking back at me!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.

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 .
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
