“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“Virginia was SO sweet and took such good care of my dogo. It was his first time being left with someone other than me or family & he LOVED it. She sent updates every day & communicated very well when I had mentioned I was nervous leaving him. He acted like he didn’t wanna leave when I picked him up! Definitely recommend!”
“Zelda came home happy and healthy. She seemed to have really enjoyed herself. Celianna was very nice. She responded when I messaged to check in and even asked if Zelda could play in the river. She listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable leaving Zelda with her. Highly recommend her care”
“Christine is fantastic! She has a lovely home she keeps cool for the dogs. She sent daily updates with pics so I knew how my dogs were doing. She was also flexible when we needed to extend our trip by a couple nights. I highly recommend her and will be using her again soon.”
“Anna and her family were very sweet and welcoming. House was safe and clean. My dog seemed happy as can be at their home. Highly recommend and will be booing again!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10, which started with dog sitting my neighbors Doberman, and led to me dog sitting a cute pair of girls! I own 3 dogs and 1 cat I currently live with my boyfriend with our 3 dogs and 1 cat in Lucerne. I work from 7:30-5:30 and usually I am able to come home on my lunch break, 12-1, to let the dogs out. The dogs enjoy a fenced backyard most of the day unless there is a reason they can’t be outside. I am only available for housesitting on weekend nights. Weekdays I can do drop ins! I have dealt with dogs being scared over fireworks, which consisted of playing soft music, finding the quietest room in the house, and hugging her until the fireworks stopped. I work on whatever schedule you and your pets need!
“Tommy and his family were great. Princess (our little mixed breed dog) was well taken care of and was quite happy when we picked her up. Communication was very good, we received updates and photos daily. We won’t hesitate to request Tommy and his family’s help again in the future.”
“Diego is very friendly and caring. Very attentive with each one of our dogs personalities. It took it upon himself to brush them down, and he shed them walked him several times each throughout the day and found plenty of time to play with them We will definitely recommend Diego to anyone.!!!”
About: I have always had a love of all animals from small to big. I love to be around dogs and play as much as I can. While in my care, I will take the dogs for an active walk and then let them run around the dog park for an hour. Sometimes longer if they are having a lot of fun. It's a solo walk right now but I have walked two at a time in the past. There are other times where I will just take them to the park and run them around and then walk back home. While in the home they will be showered in love and fun play time. Followed by more love and any snacks that you leave for your furry kids.
“Charmaine did a great job boarding our fur baby. She was very anxious about being away from home for a few nights. Charmaine even let her sleep with her and shared pics. Very sweet and caring.”
“My dog is a rescue and can be slow to warm with people but he immediately felt comfortable with Leslie. He had a great time going on walks with Leslie and seeing farm animals. He came back a calm and happy dogo!”
“Barbara and her family are delightful and kind. Oliver enjoyed his stay with them very much, and I felt comfortable leaving him knowing he would be cared for, as I would care for him.”
“Angie was an amazing sitter for Dottie. We got pictures and updates daily which made our time away from Dot easier. We love that we have Angie as an option now, we will definitely be back. Thanks Angie!”

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 Upper Lake 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 Upper Lake.
<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 Upper Lake 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.
