“We are so lucky to find Cymantha to watch our Archie. The meet/greet went well. She really knows a lot about dogs. Cymantha was helpful, replied in a timely fashion and was great to work with. Archie's overnight was successful. Definitely will contact Cymantha again, when needed. She is wonderful.”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”
“Lindsey and her husband took great care of our retriever for 10 nights! We received regular photos and videos and lots of communication. Lucky was well fed, walked, and loved like part of their family. He came home happy and relaxed.”
“Super caring and accommodating. Tiffany sent notes and pictures during Ramble’s stay and allowed me to grab Ramble for a few hours so that I could treat him for a walk and dinner date.”
“Lillie and her family were so kind and welcoming to my pup. She sent lots of pics while we were away and was very communicative around how he was doing. She seemed genuinely affectionate with him too so I know he was not short on receiving love. Super thankful for her care ❤️”
“My dog Gracie, who is shy, really enjoyed staying with Nadine. She especially loved Nadine‘s dog Cosmo, and happily played with her. Nadine sent me pictures and videos every day and that set my heart at rest that Gracie was having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Nadine. Gracie will be seen Nadine, Cosmo, and the other dogs again. Thank you so much, Nadine.”
“Sant was very attentive and caring with my dog. He made sure my dog’s needs were met, especially his medications. He had good communication with me while my dog was boarded.”
“Cristina did an amazing job! Our little doggie loved her time there. Cristina was great at communication, sending pictures and updates, and was also flexible with her time. We will happily use her again!”
“Our 18 month old black lab had the best time with Peter and Sara. He is a quarantine puppy, so we were nervous about his first night away. He came home happy and exhausted. Always great to have a place to leave your fur babies!”
“Lauren was AMAZING!! This was my first time using Rover in years, as I typically have friends and family watch my dogs. But, we had a wedding that everyone attended. After months of trying someone that was willing to watch my anxious and reactive dogs, I got so lucky to find Lauren! She immediately eased any concern during our meet and greet, and my dogs who don’t like strangers immediately were comfortable with her. She shared stories about her experience with different needs and personalities, which made me feel much better. When I dropped my dogs off, she assured me she would send updates, and she delivered!! Even if I wasn’t able to reply, she continued to send pictures, videos, and updates about their days. Both dogs came home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure they thought they were on vacation. I would 1000% recommend booking with her. We will be using Lauren for future trips!!”
“We are SO grateful we found Luna! Our usual dog care fell through right before a long out-of-state trip, and we were genuinely considering postponing because our senior dog, Indi, has recently been diagnosed with IBD and needs a specialized diet, daily meds, and a calm, attentive environment. She can get stressed easily in new places, which has previously led to tummy issues and even skin flare-ups — so we were very nervous about leaving her with someone new. From the very first message, Luna was incredibly warm, proactive, and thoughtful. She even offered to set up a meet-and-greet right away before we could ask, which immediately put us at ease. Once we dropped Indi off, it was clear Luna treats animals like family. Her own dog, Jim, also has IBD, so she had first-hand experience and comfort caring for a pup with similar needs. Throughout the two weeks, Luna provided detailed updates every single day — including meals, meds, walks, and yes, digestion reports (very appreciated 😂). She took so many adorable photos and videos that we could see how happy and relaxed Indi was. Our dog walker also commented on how noticeably happier and healthier Indi seemed while staying at Luna’s — her stools even improved (a true win for IBD dog parents!). Communication was flawless, kind, and reassuring the whole time. We felt completely at ease, which is priceless. We would absolutely book with Luna again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, attentive, and truly exceptional. Indi came home happy, calm, and healthy — we couldn’t ask for more. 💛🐾”
“I can't find the words to express how grateful I am for the loving, attentive care you provided to my senior fur baby, Izzy. Thank you for the daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Izzy clearly enjoyed her stay, and I knew she was in the best hands. Gayane, you are truly amazing. I'm forever thankful to have found you, and am hopeful this is just the beginning of many wonderful stays to come.”
“Thank you Tami! You are such a wonderful, helpful and trustworthy dog sitter! Thank you, your husband and son for being so flexible. Poppy is well taken care of in your home! Andrea Dell’Orto”
“Kushram exceeded our expectations while boarding our three-year-old French Bulldog, Wizzy, over the holidays. We were understandably nervous about leaving Wizzy with an unfamiliar family for an extended 17-day stay, especially since it was her first time being boarded. Kushram immediately put us at ease by inviting us to a meet-and-greet before the boarding began. We had the pleasure of meeting his family, visiting their lovely home, and seeing the environment where Wizzy would be staying. This experience helped us build trust right from the start. Throughout our 17-day vacation, Kushram consistently sent videos and photos, along with thoughtful updates on Wizzy’s health and well-being. He was incredibly responsive via text and conversations, always replying within the hour. When we picked Wizzy up, all of her belongings were beautifully cleaned, organized, and packed—nothing missing, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the service was top-tier. We are deeply grateful to Kushram and his family for taking such great care of Wizzy, and we would absolutely work with him again.”
“Nadia & Liam took such great care of our pups! My husband and I are very picky about who watch our French Bulldogs, so we were very hesitant at first to try out Rover. But after meeting Nadia and Liam we felt very comfortable leaving our pups with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. They truly put us at ease while we were out of town. They had a great space for the dogs to run around and explore, which the dogs were loving! They sent daily updates, pictures and videos of the dogs which we looked forward to everyday. It was so comforting knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with Nadia & Liam again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union
I can tell when my Ojo had a good time and felt safe and loved by her sitter by how she acts when I pick her up, and Ojo was happy as could be. Julie was a great communicator, her home was lovely, and I felt totally great leaving Ojo with her for the weekend. I would absolutely book Julie again in the future! Thank you for watching my girl!
Fernanda was amazing -extremely communicative. Great follow up and quick responses. Connor seem to have a great time with her and she went really out of her way to help me out because I asked her to bring the dog to an event for a few hours and she did that for me. Super grateful.
Kathrine is amazing. This is my first time using rover and Kathrine went above and beyond for us. She’s lovely, kind, and her home is beautiful. She sent so many photos and updates and Somi(my dog) looked happy and enjoyed herself! I would 100% use Kathrine again and recommend her to anyone! I wish she lived near me so she could be my day to day dog sitter!
Channing took great care of our pets during their stay. Our dog Yeti is still a young puppy and can get anxious in new environments, especially with unfamiliar places and car rides. She gave him extra attention and handled him very well. When we picked him up, it was clear he had already started to settle in and feel comfortable. He looked happy, relaxed, and in great shape. Our cat Dusya is older and needs a bit more attentive care. Channing clearly paid close attention to her as well. Dusya looked calm, well cared for, and content when we came to get her. It is always reassuring when you can see that both animals were comfortable and treated with care. We were very happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Channing to others. Five stars!
My first instinct is to give a bad review only so I can keep them all to myself. Michael and Regina are that amazing. I had just adopted my dog, Jack, from a shelter and had only known him a couple of weeks before needing to leave town. Despite that, Michael and Regina took exceptional care of him with such thoughtfulness and confidence, even knowing I was still getting to know Jack myself. They sent frequent updates and photos that showed just how loved and spoiled he was during his stay. Jack especially bonded with their rescue dog, whom he clearly misses now. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use Michael and Regina again for future trips, they truly exceeded all expectations.

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 Union 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 Union.
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 Union 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.
