“Martha is such a sweetheart! She genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She took care of our 2-month-old kitten, and it was our first time having a cat sitter. She was so patient, caring, and wonderful with cat. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with pictures and messages. I truly appreciate how much she cared for our little kitten. I highly recommend her!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“She was wonderful and super attentive. My dog enjoyed playing with her son, win, win! She did everything I asked of her to do. Already have her booked for a second visit.”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“Judy is the best. I think our pup would sometimes prefer to be hanging with her than with us! We feel so lucky that we met her. It’s a relief knowing our puppy is in great hands when we are away from him.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for many years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and attention and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I spend plenty of time at home. Therefore, my availability for boarding your pet is flexible. I have a fenced yard and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will supervise your pets and will follow the owner’s instructions.
“Our dog LOVES going to Elaine's house and has a great time, and she sends lots of updates so I know my dog is doing great and is happy and comfortable, which definitely eases my mind while I'm traveling.”
“Ms Laura is always loving and caring with my furry baby! I trust her completely and I’m grateful for the way she cares and tends for my dog! Will book with her over and over! Thank you Miss Laura!”
“It was our first time using Rover, and first time booking with Linette and we had an amazing experience! Linette was so sweet and took great care of my dog Kaiya, she constantly updated us with pictures throughout the stay & was very communicative and friendly. It was my dog’s first night away from us and she definitely reassured us that she would be in great hands. Thank you so much again, we appreciate you for taking great care of our Kaiya :)”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Jake is consistently great with my dog Mochi. I never have any issues with him from start to finish, and my dog really enjoys her visit every single time. Super grateful for another awesome stay.”
“My fur baby Chika is very skiddish and can be unsociable at times. The moment Chika met Yvie, Chika wagged her tail and went right up to her. Yvie was very calm and patient with Chika. Upon return Chika was not stressed or anxious, she was excited like a lil kid that had a great time at Disneyland and couldn't wait to bark about it. 😊 Thank you Yvie for making my dog feel safe and comfortable, you are the best!! Chika will definitely be returning to your care.”
“This is our first time having a sitter for our baby Maggie. I cried so much the night we dropped Maggie off to Marby. I was so scared and my separation anxiety was through the roof. We met Marby and her husband and they ensured Maggie will be fine. Throughout the 5 days our baby stayed with them, Marby kept us updated, sent us photos and videos. Marby made us feel at ease and I can truly say she treated Maggie as her own. Maggie made friends with their baby Mamba. We are truly thankful and grateful for Marby taking such good care of our baby.”

I had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Martha was really accommodating to my situation. She was great with my dog, Sparky, who was suffering from an ear infection during his stay. She gave him his medicine and sent pics and updates daily letting me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thanks so much, Martha!
Jenny and Joshua took care of my dog for 10 days. I am very happy with the care they provided to my dog and provided daily updates with pictures. My dog received daily walks and returned home happy. I would highly recommend Jenny and Joshua if you need a trustworthy person to care for your dog. I will definitely be a return customer.
Magy is the best person to look after your pet! She is kind, attentive, and affectionate toward animals. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to leave their pet in the care of someone who is highly responsible, communicates well, and truly keeps an eye on their pet. I am so grateful to Magy! ❤️🙏
Ronald was so friendly and accommodating. Even when I couldn't contact Ronald he still took very good care of the dogs and placed their pictures on Rover. I was able to go see that the dogs were well cared for and happy. I was able to really relax and enjoy my vacation.
Katherine and John have been amazing at caring for our little fur baby! My partner and I have been caring for Mochi since she was 8 weeks old and this is only our second time leaving our baby with someone else. We were so worried about how she would react and whether she would eat, sleep, and play well. Turns out she did exceptionally well. We received daily pictures and updates about Mochi. Katherine made Mochi look so cute in every picture. Mochi came back to us looking very happy and refreshed. Mochi also came back to us much lighter than which was great because we were trying to help her to lose some weight. Overall, we are so pleased with our experience with Katherine and John. They are exceptional dog sitters and I would book with them over and over again! 100% highly recommend!
Left my dog there for a few days, came back a day earlier and was able to pick him up a day earlier too with no problem. Everything I jad packed for my dog was returned with no issues and the food I had packed too was nearly all gone so I can assume they were feeding him well. I got lots of pictures and I picked him up in the same conditions I dropped him off in. I did get a bit scared because of some of the reviews, but I had a good experience with Adrian will likely book with him again. Overall a good experience, maybe except the responses were a bit slow, but that wasn't really an issue.
Nathaniel did an amazing job taking care of Dino and Frank while we were on vacation for a week. Since we were traveling out of the country, it was especially important to have someone dependable and responsive, and Nathaniel was both. He was very accommodating and available whenever needed. He kept us updated throughout the week and frequently sent photos of our guys, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely use Nathaniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets. Thanks again, Nathaniel, for taking such great care of Dino and Frank!! 🐾❤️
Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!
Staci is amazing! I was able to book with her at the last minute as my usually sitter was unavailable. I was nervous about leaving my babies with someone we didn’t know however, Staci made us feel comfortable from beginning to end. She sent frequent updates and lots of pics throughout the day. Our pups loved her and was in no hurry to leave when we picked them up which was a good sign to me. We would definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Madison was an amazing pet sitter. Before confirming the booking, she asked all the right questions to ensure she could properly care for Dash and that we'd all be a good fit. We also met in person to make sure Dash would be comfortable. Throughout his stay, she sent plenty of photos, communicated with me daily, and truly spoiled him with love, attention, and treats. Dash turned 4 during his stay, and she made sure to celebrate him. I would highly recommend Madison and will absolutely use her again.
Reasons why Heather is great: - She takes my dog on long walks - I can rely on her to give important medication - Her fur babies are friendly and my dog is never lonely at her house - My flight home was canceled and she was able to watch my dog for an extra night (thank you Heather!!) - she sends pics and updates - she responds to messages quickly Leaving our fur babies is hard, but booking with Heather makes me feel at ease! I highly recommend her services.
Tatiana is THE BEST. She went above and beyond for my furry boy! He fell ill just before we left down and was on a much more complicated schedule with meds and feeding than normal and she was so kind and loving to him. She didn’t mind tho adjustment and helped get our boy back to feeling good and being himself! Great communication on her part, all the photos. She treated him like he was her own. We had zero worries with him in her care.

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.
94% of sitters in Watson 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 Watson 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 Watson.
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 Watson. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Watson 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.
