“If your dogs are your children like mine are, you definitely want someone like Alexandra to watch over them. I was able to leave Leo in her care for almost 3 weeks and I never once worried that he wasn’t getting the best love and care possible. In other words, I was able to enjoy my vacation! Alexandra is great!”
“I can't say enough great things about Rebecca and Donald! They helped out in an emergency where I was already out of town and blessed our pup with so much love and care. Mutilple updates daily and made him feel right at home and helped put me at ease knowing he was in such good and loving hands. I would happily book them anytime in the future, absolute 10/10 people ❤️”
“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!”
“Yvie took great care of our Maggie. We will be having some play dates soon. She was more than willing to send pictures and message with us. We had never left Mags with a Rover sitter. We are so thankful she was safe with Yvie.”
“Karina is kind, flexible and patient. My dogs did well with her and one of them is typically very anxious (he looked like he had the time of his life from the pics and videos Karina sent).”
“Jamila was a lifesaver! Another sitter canceled in the middle of my dog’s stay and Jamila immediately responded to my last minute request. I’m so grateful for her and Brolin seemed to easily get along with her too. So glad I found her. I highly recommend!”
“Dalila is exceptional! I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking dog care. She went the extra mile with my Moses by making sure he was bathed and ready for pickup. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you Dalila for everything.”
“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!”
“I’m so glad Juno enjoyed her stay with Mario! After our meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving her with him for a few days. He’s great and knowledgeable with dog behavior and I look forward to start some training sessions soon!”
“Elise was a wonderful sitter for Yogi and Booboo. This was their first time having an overnighter with Rover. She made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. She sent a lot of update videos and made them homemade treats. They were happy and I felt they were loved and very well taken care of.”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“Christa was absolutely amazing. She took such great care of my doggo while I was out for 2 weeks. She took her on all kinds of adventures and sent lots of messages and pictures. She was very responsive and incredibly sweet to my dog. I highly suggest having Christa watch your puppers!”
“Maria was so great! Really thoughtful and I can tell Lupo had a great time with her. She sent a lot of pictures keeping me updated and made me feel really comfortable leaving Lupo behind. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Andrew was a great host for Zuzita. She came back happy and tired which is always a good sign. Great communication and very easy drop off and pick up! I’ll definitely be using Andrew again!”
“Kyle was amazing with Luna. He was very patient with her. He sent daily updates, and we could see Luna was happy. I'd highly recommend Kyle, and his dog was great with Luna.”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life. My family has always had dogs and we have loved them for they are family. This has made me a dog lover as well as my daughter. Our fur babies are family for life. I always told myself once I start retirement I would love to keep pets. I walk my dog every day twice a day if the weather permits, adding another dog into the routine of fun will be a joy for me as well as company for my dog. I have a small porch yard enclosed by concrete, wood fence and iron gate. I create a safe and clean environment in my home. I do have stairs if your fur baby is unable to go up and down the stairs, I will carry him or her. The stairway will be blocked to keep your fur baby safe.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Watson
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.

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.
Wonderful experience! I needed someone to care for my two senior dogs at the last minute, and I’m so grateful they were able to accommodate. Joshua and wife were friendly, responsive, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in their care. I truly appreciated their flexibility, the updates and knew the dogs were in great hands. I look forward to using them again, highly recommended!
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!
I had a wonderful sitting experience with Linette and highly recommend her! I was weary since my initial sitter plans fell through last minute but Linette was able to watch Lucky and accommodate her specific needs at a moment’s notice. 💕 She gave regular updates and was always prompt to respond. Your fur baby will definitely be in good hands with Linette.
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.
The. Best. Hands. Down. We have two Akitas about a year and a half old each, and this is the first time ever that we’ve left them with host caregivers. My wife and I took our first true multi day getaway for the first time in about eight years. We were apprehensive, not about Malcolm, but with the actual act of leaving our puppies with a stranger. in the 40+ years, we’ve had dogs, this is probably only the second time we’ve left our dogs with strangers. On our end, unfortunately, the dogs were overly anxious and were being problem children. In spite of this, Malcolm exhibited the most kind, compassionate, and caring, demeanor and behavior, above and beyond anything we would ever expect! In fact, on our last day, being away, our male pup had digestive distress, and Malcom, knew exactly what he had to do, communicated with us the entire time, took the pup to our vet, stayed with him throughout the examination, and made sure that our pup received all medications. After the appointment, he was extremely communicative, and never once throughout this whole ordeal, did he complain. He was both objective and objective, and treated our pups like they were his own. This could not have gone any better, and we have Malcolm to thank for being such an incredible caregiver!

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 Watson home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .
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.
