“Don was great, he kept us updated throughout the weekend. Hank seemed to be having a good time. We got lots of great pictures from him and he made us feel comfortable. We’d recommend Don anytime!”
“Gloria was WONDERFUL!! She provided excellent care for our dog. Gloria was always responsive to every inquiry and gave daily summaries. The whole experience was perfect. We are hoping to always using her pet care services.”
“Joan and her husband were a godsend for us! In town for only a month we wanted to get away for an overnight trip and they took in Gizmo as their own. Joan kept me informed of Gizmo and took some of the best pics ever. I was at peace with their care of him and we had a great trip. Thank you Joan!”
“I highly recommend Edgar! He was kind, patient, and communicated wonderfully throughout the entire experience. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again!”
About: Hi, I’m Gema! I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring. I provide calm, attentive, boutique-style care and limit the number of dogs I accept so each pet receives individualized attention in a clean, peaceful home. My veterinary background helps me confidently monitor health, recognize changes in behavior, and administer medications as instructed, while my grooming experience means I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and keeping them clean and comfortable. I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.
“I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful our experience was with Mark! He is exactly who you want to care for your dog. Mark is attentive, thoughtful, empathetic, and caring. And his dog training skills really help. We have a 5-year-old Akita who is a can be full of energy and can be a recipe for disaster. Mark was incredible with her! He goes above and beyond to make sure your dog has everything they need and has fun doing it. He was patient, loving, gave her so much attention, including taking her out for walks thru centennial trail and the river nearby all the while kept us updated with pics and texts. Unagi had an amazing time with Mark, and I could tell she had a great time when we returned to pick her up. Highly recommend him to others.”
“Matthew has a beautiful home with a great dog-friendly back yard. He took great care of our two girls - one has a resource guarding issue at meal times. Matthew handed that without issue. We will definitely book with him again.”
“Edith and her daughter were awesome!!! They were very easy to talk to and was the most accommodating!!! I would ask them to take care of our dog again next time we are in the area! Thank you again!!!”
“Amazing care as always. I'm so appreciative of all the photos and pupdates. Incredibly thankful for Amy's flexibility and understanding with our flight delay and this recent trip.”
“Brandon was so good with my boys. I have two really quirky boxers, one pup thats 2 and a Sr. that is almost 12. He sent detailed updates with the cutest pictures and i could tell he was taking great care of them, which allowed me to enjoy my time away. He provides a safe environment and took them out for several walks to keep them exercised. They were both really happy boys when i picked them up which says it all. I will definitely have Brandon care for these two babies of mine again 🤍.”
“Love Ana & our little platinum Beast loves her, too. I’ve lost count of how many times she’s either housesat for her for our work travel or Ana has boarded her but we are so grateful. What a serendipitous find we have had in meeting her. Thank you, Ana!”
“Alice was an incredible host for our pups. Super accommodating. We had a large group in town for bday and she was extremely helpful by picking the dogs up and dropping off. Really good communication. Id recommend to anyone and would definitely use again!”
“Ceci had the best time with Patti! She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. And now she gets so excited when she realizes we are back at Patti's. We call it "going to Camp Patti".”
About: I've been a dog sitter for almost five years , have experience in making your dog feel at home and not stressed out. Your dog will want to come back, and my home will be their second home. I telework , and and home most of the time. I live in the second largest city in the county with lots of dog parks. My home is perfect for dogs, I do not have carpet so if your dog has an accident I can clean it up very easily. Also your dog is welcomed to sit on any part of my home, unless instructed by owner otherwise.
“Sheldon was amazing! She took great care of my puppy and sent me updates throughout her whole stay. My pup had such a great time, she slept for days! I will definitely book again”
“Michelle was amazing. I know my girl, coco had great time with her and James while I was out of town. She was the only dog at their house so I know she got all the attention and love. ♥️ Went for a run, took a trip to Calabasas, sunbathed at the balcony and more... 🌞 Thanks again for taking good care of her. :))”
About: I am a dog lover….I have a white lab of my own. Maybe you’ve seen us walking on El Paseo in the morning, it’s my favorite part of the day It's nice to have guest dogs at the house to play with Bella, particularly since her big brother passed a couple years ago. Bella likes to play and be chased, she's a bit lonely without Beau I will treat your dog/dogs like my very own, I am protective, caring and patient. Your dog will be safe and happy spending time with us. I'm available for boarding from 8 am - 5pm Monday - Friday, most Saturdays too. I work from home so they have constant care and attention. Guest dogs in my home have access to being inside or outside. I have clean fresh water bowls, a doggy door, plenty of toys and if your dog is a swimmer they can swim.
“Brianna was so loving and caring to my Raaksha, and went above and beyond for him!! She was sitting for another dog too as well as had her own dog and quarantined them safely while giving them all the love and care they needed. I highly recommend her!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Valerie 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 Valerie 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 Valerie.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valerie. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Valerie 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
