“Tyler has been excellent at communicating and watching over everything. I am very excited and definitely plan to rebook them. Highly recommend his efforts; he's good with dogs all around. Followed every instruction that was given. Open and ask if I needed anything else afterwards and even left all a treat to take home I highly recommend him.”
“Angelo is an amazing guy! Took great care of my dogs while I was gone on an unexpected emergency trip. I’d recommend him to anyone needing help with getting their dogs watched any time. My pups were sad to leave his care for sure.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“We loved Christina, they took such good care of our doggy and the communication while we were away was perfect. We got an update every morning, and when we picked our doggy up, you could tell he was happy with being there!”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Ana was AMAZING! She took Maiah like her own fur baby. She’s updating me every single day/night. Sending me videos and photos. Answered all my messages. She made me feel that my Big Fur Baby will be safe and loved and will be having so much fun with her 9 nights stay. She also helped me not to worry too much, advised me like we have known each other for a long time. For 594 days, I’m with Maiah since her Gotcha Day and it’s been hard for me to leave her. Definitely Maiah will be staying with her Tia Ana if we will be having overseas trip. Again, thank you Ana for everything.”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and Deb H. I’m very happy with the service she provided for my pet Ruby. She sent me pics and updates while we were away for 3 days. Ruby was very comfortable in Deb’s cozy home. I’m so happy I found a sitter who is reliable and caring. Thank you Debs H.”
“Julie was very kind to Reepicheep and it was clear she wanted her to be comfortable. Caring for a senior cat with multiple medical conditions can be challenging, and I’ve realized that I personally value very detailed communication throughout a stay.”
“Thank you, Kim & Chris, for taking such great care of our little Mazzie. I have terrible anxiety leaving our rescue pup. But with your loving care, all of my anxiety went away knowing that Mazzie would be well cared for. We look forward to booking with you again.”
“Justine did an amazing job with Willa. This was Willa's first boarding so that is always a little nerve-wracking but Justine was very communicative the whole time. Will be booking again in the near future.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience boarding our Prince with Jita and her family. From the very beginning, Jita was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. She kept us updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos every morning, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our Prince was treated like a member of their family. Jita truly focuses on one client at a time (besides her own pup, Thunder), which made a huge difference. Our furbaby got along beautifully with Thunder—there was plenty of playtime, interaction, and supervision. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and we came back to a relaxed and content pup. Jita and her husband’s love for animals shows in everything they do, and their attention to detail and genuine care set them apart. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable dog sitter.”
“Cooper was genuinely cared for and very well taken care of by Rachana and her family! We were at peace due to regular and detailed updates about his settling in phase. Being an anxious pup, Cooper needs a considerable amount of patience and love to feel at home and he seemed to feel at ease very soon at Rachana’s place. Their pup is super friendly too and was great company for Cooper during his stay! Thank you for your care and affection towards Cooper!”
“I was touched by the way Preetika cared for my pup. She treated him like family, with warmth and gentleness. She continuously provided updates, rare to find someone who gives that kind of love & attention.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Kirsten and Kristian provided for our beloved pets, Moony and Lemonie! From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine bond with the dogs and a special knack for making pets feel at ease. Moony and Lemonie was absolutely smitten with all the attention and playtime. The updates and photos we received during our time away were a delightful touch—it was so comforting to see Moony and Lemonie happy, relaxed in the couch, sometimes enjoying the Sun, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know that Moony and Lemonie are in such capable and loving hands. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Shayne and her family were so great with Lola. She is really nervous around new people, but she warmed up to them quickly and did so well. I am so glad to have found Shayne.”
“I wish I could give Lisa more than 5 stars!!! Our dog Winston stayed with her for almost 2 weeks while my fiancé and I took a long vacation (for the first time since we brought him home over 4 years ago!) and I had so much anxiety about leaving. Lisa and her whole family were so amazing and I could tell she really loves dogs and makes sure they’re in such a happy well taken care of environment. She was always so responsive and sent us multiple photos and updates while we were gone. Plus she was so accommodating when our flight got delayed on our way home with picking him up. I would absolutely leave our dog with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!! Thank you again so so much Lisa ?”
“We were so grateful to Lisa for accepting Hina in the 11th hour when we made a last minute decision to go away for a weekend. We constantly received pics of update how Sukahina was doing and loved that Hina had other small breed dogs she could play with during her stay with Lisa. We were also grateful that Lisa was flexible in allowing us to extend Hina’s stay for one more day. I will definitely be using Lisa’s services again in the future!”

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 Vernalis 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 Vernalis.
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 Vernalis 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.
