“This was my first time using Rover, and Sant made the entire experience so easy and stress-free! Before boarding Lumo for 10 days, we had an initial meet-and-greet where Sant walked me through where Lumo would be staying, playing, and spending his time. Being able to see the environment beforehand gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel comfortable leaving Lumo in Sant’s care. Throughout the stay, Sant consistently sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions, knowing Sant was equally proactive in keeping me updated. Since this was Lumo’s first time staying with Sant, communication was especially important in making the experience a success, and Sant absolutely delivered. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! I’m so grateful to have found Sant and plan to continue using him as my go-to boarding sitter for Lumo. I highly recommend Sant to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring person to look after their dog!”
About: I am an insured pet care professional, and I bring the same kindness and thoughtfulness I would want someone to show my own pet. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and very detail-oriented. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and notes. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely well cared for whenever they’re with me. I cared for my own dog, Charlotte, for 10 years—from her puppy stage through her senior years—so I understand how much a dog’s needs can change over time. My experience with puppies began even earlier, when a neighbor who bred dogs trusted me to help care for her newborn litters. I understand the patience, consistency, and routine puppies need, including reinforcement of potty training, basic commands, leash manners, and good habits. I also know that senior dogs may need slower walks, extra time, and someone who pays attention to the little changes. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have the flexibility to walk your pet or drop in for your pet during the day while you are away. Looking forward to new clients! I currently provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, keep their space tidy, and send photos and written updates after every visit. All dog walks are private and on leash. At this time, I do not offer care in my own home, overnight stays, transportation, or medication administration.
“Vanson and his wife Ella were great. They sent me videos and pictures of our dogs having so much fun. Their home is so comfortable and dog friendly. I highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies!”
“Jess was responsive and commucative throughout. She did a great job taking care of my pup - he came back very tired, like he just spent a week at camp. Thank you for taking him to the dog park and the many photos and videos - really appreciate it. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
“Peter is our go to sitter for our high energy German shepherd pup! We don’t trust our young pup to many people (even family), and Tato always is so well looked after here”
“As always, Margaret was so excited to see Alex! She loves him and their fun days and night cuddles. She’s always THE happiest while we’re away and that lets us not worry about her while we’re out of town.”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I pride myself on being attentive, dependable, and communicative, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands! I work from home Mondays and Fridays, making me the perfect sitter for long weekends or a little getaway! My flexible schedule allows me to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and quality time throughout their stay. Your pup’s happiness and safety are my top priorities! Expect lots of walks, outdoor adventures, hikes, and trips to the dog park (with your permission, of course!). I’ll always respect your pup’s routine, comfort level, and individual needs while treating them like my own!
“What a wonderful family! They took such amazing care of Cali and kept us updated regularly with how she was doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend them! We’re looking forward to a long-lasting relationship and having them care for Cali again in the future.”
“Christy took excellent care of my senior dachshund, Leia, while I was on a long weekend trip! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your dog with a new person for the first time, but Christy went above and beyond to provide constant care for my girl and ensure that she (and I) were comfortable with her staying there. She provided peace of mind for me knowing that Leia was well taken care of while I was on my trip. She sent me photos and updates often so I knew how Leia was doing. I can’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back again sometime soon for future trips.”
“Our Maisie(Airedale) stayed with Lisa and we are sure she had a great time! When we went to pick her up, we thought she’d be waiting at the front door. But nope, Lisa had to call her from whatever fun she was having in the back yard! Thank you Lisa for making our girl feel at home🐶”
“Before confirming the booking, Kosmo did a meet and greet with Karen's family and other dogs. Kosmo immediately wanted to play and I could tell he was comfortable. Kosmo ate well while at Karen's and seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. I won't hesitate to book with Karen again should we need boarding.”
“Meredith was incredible. She provided daily detailed updates that made us feel super confident that Rocky was in great hands. Rocky had a blast and got to work on some basic commands too. Rocky can’t wait to visit Meredith again!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Tammy is great and I hate to share a glowing recommendation bc it might limit our availability for our pup, Bella. Tammy is amazing she is so good with dogs and she has her own dog who seems to love the company of all the dog visitors. He gives up his bed to any pup and is a genuine sweetie. Tammy takes exceptional care of dogs including our now blind diabetic pup. She administers injections without stress, she provides dogs all the rubs they want. She’s great font pass go.”
“We had a great experience with Rachel, great communication sent plenty of pictures and video while we were gone which made our trip even better knowing our dog was in good hands! We will definitely be using Rachel again and highly recommend her! ”

Joseph and Marikris were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of our dog Lucy and were incredibly accommodating with our last-minute changes. Their flexibility, kindness, and communication made the entire experience stress-free. We felt confident that Lucy was in great hands. Highly recommend them and we already have our next boarding booked.
Yena is amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and regularly sent updates including pictures and videos about my puppy Camila, who boarded here for the first time. I appreciated having the meet and greet so Camila could interact with all the other dogs there before staying overnight. All the dogs were friendly and respectful. Camila was able to play in the yard and inside the home. Yena was kind to keep the same food routine at home, which I found very helpful. It was great to have my puppy in a safe and fun environment while I was away for a trip. I think Camila had so much fun that I will have to bring her over for daycare in the near future! Thank you Yena!
Another trip, another amazing experience with Stefanie. Not everyone is up for the task of caring for a special needs dog, but Stefanie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and PATIENT. I have tremendous peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks again. Stefanie, for caring for my sweet, old girl!
Really appreciate the flexibility and care provided for my dog Kayla by Sophia and her husband Jonathan. Had some possible last-minute Vet issues and they were willing to still care for her. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and they kept me informed of Kayla‘s visit and sent photos. They also sent me photos when I asked as I was missing her. Kayla enjoyed her walks and really appreciated that she could sit anywhere on the couch and on their bed. Definitely will use them again if needed. Thanks to you both!

Our dog Stirling had a great time with Jess & her dog Peach! They went on walks, went to the coffee shop and played at the dog park. Jess was so caring and always communicated any questions she had and she gave updates with cute photos. We were so happy to find Jess on Rover! We will be hiring her again soon!
Serafina was amazing with our anxious girl!! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter and I had no idea how our dog would do, but Serafina put both her and I at ease. She sent updates and photos throughout our trip and our girl seemed right at home with her and her fiancé. She has such a calm, gentle demeanor and a lovely home and yard. Our pup came home clearly very happy and well cared for. I would definitely have Serafina watch our girl again in the future!
Jill and her family gave Cooper great care and their dog Buddy was the perfect best friend for Cooper during his time with them. They took care of him for over a week and we did not have to worry one bit because we knew he was being well taken care of. We would definitely bring Cooper back here for future vacations.
A great indicator of how it went at the sitters is how much my dogs sleep when they get home...they have slept non-stop for 2 days. :-))) Catherine is great. She was very responsive and accommodating. She had great communication before during and after. I look forward to using her again.

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.
93% of sitters in Waldon 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 Waldon 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 Waldon.
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 Waldon. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Waldon 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.
