About: I offer a calm, home-style boarding experience with only 1-2 dogs at a time for personalized care. I work from home, so pets get plenty of attention, daily walks, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m experienced with senior dogs, picky eaters, and helping pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home. I’m able to provide constant care, attention and companionship throughout the day. Pets aren’t left alone and get plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine, whether it’s a mid-morning walk or evening feeding. Your pet will always have someone nearby! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they can relax and feel safe.

In my home, pets are never left unattended for long, and I always do a safety check of the space. I use positive reinforcement, give plenty of love, and send regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Yilin is very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and videos! My dog looked like she had a lot of fun and was very comfy at her place. I would definitely be booking with Yilin again :)”
“Alan was well taken care of. Annette sent pictures and was always available for any questions leading up to and during the stay. Alan can be very hyper and she handled him well. Would definitely recommend Annette and I would use her again.”
“A very kind couple who took good care of my dog. This was my first time using Roover so we did daycare service for 4 hrs. She sent several videos so I could see how my dog was doing. That was really helpful and put me at ease.”
“Eunice was great as responding quick and Kobe had a great time at her home. There were multiple updates throughout the day. I will definitely use her services again for Kobe.”
“Krystal is awesome! By the second day, my dog was excited to pull into her house. She kept me updated throughout the day and was quick to respond. I trusted that my dog was well taken care of. Would highly recommend her :)”
“There were a lot of logistics involved in my booking since my mom and I were switching off dropping off my dog, but Tammy was really flexible and understanding. She provided photo (and potty) updates regularly and made sure Coco always felt comfortable in her home. Coco will let us know if she ever feels uncomfortable somewhere, so it was a good sign when we came back every morning and she was happy to be there. We will definitely re-book with Tammy whenever we need a dogsitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut
Caihua’s home is always incredibly clean, and she is extremely attentive and caring. She sends lots of videos and updates, which is truly reassuring for anxious pet parents. Every time Mario hears he’s going to her house, he gets so excited and can hardly wait. You can tell from your dog’s reaction that you made the right choice! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Mario every single time.
Exceeded my expectations. Great with communication. Great vibes from the minute we walked to the door. Xiaoting and her daughter were amazing. Loved all the pics and updates throughout the day. Myka was a happy pup…. Such a great day for her. Will definitely be returning soon! Thank you again!!!!
n’t say enough great things about Joely. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. I trust her completely, which says a lot because I’m very particular about who looks after my pups. Every time she watches them, I come home to happy, that peace of mind is priceless. She goes above and beyond every single time. The enrichment activities are so great and she is truly one of a kind — I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Walnut commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,793 sitters in Walnut, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
