“Loree and hubby are so kind and took wonderful care of my little Frieda! The fenced grassy yard is a doggies delight. Frieda was thoroughly vetted for shots, health, and behaviors so you can be sure your dog is well cared for and in good company.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She gave them individual attention all day long with several updates and photos throughout the day. Our dogs didn’t even care when we dropped them off, which is unusual since they are clingy to us. The vibes were great! Thank you Holly!!”
“Sarah was amazing with our puppy, Koda! This was the first time we’ve ever used a dog sitter, so we were definitely a little nervous, but she immediately put us at ease with her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine love for dogs. She communicated throughout the entire day and sent tons of photos, which made us feel so much better while we were away at Disneyland. We also ran into horrible traffic on the way back, and our pickup time ended up being nearly an hour later than expected. Sarah was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and flexible despite the inconvenience. It was clear Koda had a great time with her—he even fell asleep in the car on the way home! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and will absolutely be reaching out to Sarah again for future sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“What a great experience! We left our 16 month old, 80 lb, high energy, Golden Retriever named Bailey with David, David's girlfriend Barbara, and his Golden Retriever Auggie. This was our first experience with Rover and Bailey's first time away from home. David was easy to work with and sent pictures and comments during the day. It was obvious Bailey enjoyed her play day. We look forward to working with David and his clan again. We highly recommend that you consider David for your furry family member's next doggy care need!”
“Michael and Cassandra have been so awesome with our pup! They welcome her in like she’s their own and she always comes back happy, tired, and content! We are so so so grateful 😊”
“Thank you so much, Roshanak! You took care of our baby Lucy like she was your own. You kept us informed, sent us videos, were very sweet and thoughtful, and were very flexible with our pick-up time. We will definitely reach out again when we are in town. Lucy loved staying with you. Thank you!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.
“So thankful Amanda was able to watch my dog Maverick and my foster pup Jack at the last min while I had to run to LA for a work event. She lives close so I was able to do a meet-n-greet beforehand and the dogs were immediately at ease in her presence. When I dropped them off for daycare, they didn’t even notice I left - they seemed perfectly content at her home!”
“Jason and Rachel took amazing care of my pups! They agreed to book last minute and were very flexible with timing. Bouddi and Irie came home happy and tired, highly recommend”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, including French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Weimaraners, Siberian Huskies, and my current English Labrador. Every dog is unique, and I enjoy understanding what makes each one feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, down, stay, wait, leash walking, puppy training, and kennel/crate training. I believe patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the best ways to help dogs learn and build confidence. My own dogs are an important part of my family. I feed them a high-quality diet, keep them current on veterinary care and vaccinations, provide daily exercise, and make sure they are well socialized while always putting their safety first. When caring for your dog, I understand they are not my pet, so I always respect your routines, training methods, and instructions. My priorities are safety, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐾 As a business owner, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every dog has a different routine, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure front and backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. There are shaded areas to keep them comfortable on warm days, as well as plenty of space for supervised play and exercise. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and always monitor their behavior. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. If your dog is crate-trained or has specific needs, I’m happy to accommodate them. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own, while making sure they always feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. * I only accept a limited number of dogs at one time so I can give each one plenty of attention. * I send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. * Fresh water is always available, and dogs are never left outside unsupervised. * I can reinforce basic commands and leash manners during their stay.
“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Shelley! She is truly kind, sweet, and incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog, Jack, in her care. Her home is warm and welcoming, and it was clear right away that Jack would be comfortable and well looked after. Shelley treated him with so much love and attention, and we could tell he was in great hands the entire time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Shelley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to very large dogs. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, walks, and household routines. I keep pets supervised, comfortable, and secure, and I take time to learn their personality and needs. I also have experience with both small and very large dogs.
“I can’t say enough how PHENOMENAL this sitter is!!! We have a 15yo dachshund with senior dog needs and we wanted to take our daughter to Disneyland. Evan and Michelle went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, with a meet n greet, a trial sit, and then the full day while we were at Disney. They were so easy-going, so responsive, sent tons of updates to put us at ease, and they took fantastic care of Kona. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with Luna! The time and attention she took to get to know Luna before she took care of and her, and her responsiveness while communicating before after after I booked- I really appreciate it all!”

She did a great job taking care of my puppy! She was very attentive, caring, and made sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and how responsible she was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets
Saki had the best day with Bella and her husband! He came home happy, tired, and honestly seemed a little sad to leave them, which says everything. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Bella again, and Saki can’t wait to see them both!
Samira is a wonderful dog sitter! She sent pictures throughout the day, took my pup on walks, and has a wonderful pup of her own that my girl loved playing with. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely reach out when we need a sitter again!
Brianna and Charles are wonderful and so caring! They paid attention to our doggie's needs and she also didn't seem anxious being left with them as she normally is. We feel more than comfortable leaving her with Brianna and Charles again during our long upcoming trip!

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.

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.
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 .

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 .
