“Mel and her family did a wonderful job providing love and care to our two girls while we were on a long trip. Knowing our girls are cared for so well allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. The girls have a blast and get to socialize and play when they are at Mel’s.”
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”
“It was our first time using Rover and it went pretty well. Ellie seemed to have a good time and there were no issues. Definitely nerve racking leaving your baby with a stranger but Arianna made her feel at home.”
“We were looking for someone who could dogsit our 1.5-year-old Shih Tzu for a whole week, and I just had a good feeling when I saw Kimmie’s profile. Since it’s Milo’s first time boarding, we decided to do an overnight trial run first. We’re so glad we found Kimmie! She’s amazing, very responsive, and sends updates, pictures, and videos of our Milo. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Thank you for having Ellie Carola! Carola was great with our dog Ellie. She’s very knowledgeable and cares a lot about dogs. Her house and yard is spacious and the dogs have lots of space to run around. She also sent us updates and photos which we appreciate!”
“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”

I am responsible, and trustworthy individual who is here to love and care for your pet :) Currently I do not have a job, which allows me to have open availability.

About: ( I do ask each owner to bring their crates for each pet, for their safety ) I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as a teenager, decided to try to get back into it since I’m free most of my day. I can play feed and walk them for their daily activities. Doesn’t matter what age I’ll keep them entertained:) I’m currently a free all day. Have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Whether it’s walking, feeding, &playing with them. They have my attention. ** Starting 05FEB24 I won’t be able to take in medium sized dogs for a while due to some upcoming medical follow ups. Once I’m able to get back to it I will update my profile=} ** I have a fenced yard big enough to keep them running. One male small dog that’s neutered and crate trained. Very friendly once he meets and gets close to others. And the most friendliest yet shy cat. I do ask for crates ! So please bring a crate for your pet ! It’s for their safety as well as all other pets in my care !
About: I grew up having always at least two dogs at a time. I raised a few puppies my self, which are now very well behaved and the most loving dogs. Growing up, we were breeding grate Danes, what makes me very experienced with large dogs. I am honest, reliable and caring. Every dog needs a different kind of attention, and I will get to know your dog very well and give him the attention and exercise he/she needs. At the moment, I have two dogs myself, Lucy and Rue, both Australian stumpy tail cattle dogs with tons of energy. Hire me and your dog will be a happy and relaxed dog when you come back from your trip! My availability is pretty flexible - so just hit me up and let me know what your needs are, I can make most schedules work. I have a fenced yard but am a big advocate for long walks around the neighborhood! Inside the house I’ll provide individual care - every pet is different!

About: I grew up in a household full of pets. I know how to train dogs basic commands like Sit, Down, Paw, Look, Speak. Now that I’m an adult and have my own furbabies, I understand how much you want to make sure they are well taken cared of when you’re away. I work active duty military and my schedule is 7am-3pm.

About: Hi, I'm Estefany! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I've been a dog lover my entire life and have been caring for dogs since I was young. From raising my own dogs to pet sitting for family and friends, I've always enjoyed giving dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I currently offer: 🐶 Boarding 🐶 Doggy Day Care 🐶 House Sitting 🐶 Drop-In Visits 🐶 Dog Walking My home in Armona has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with lots of belly rubs, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I don't currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to focus completely on the pets in my care. I do have young children who love animals and have been taught to be gentle and respectful around them. For everyone's safety, all interactions between children and pets are closely supervised, and I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a family environment. As someone with NAS Lemoore base access, I'm proud to support military families and understand that changing schedules, deployments, training, and travel can make finding dependable pet care challenging. My goal is to provide reliable, flexible care you can count on. Communication is very important to me. While you're away, I'll send regular photo and video updates so you can see your pup having fun, relaxing, and receiving the love and attention they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and fun home away from home where your dog will be treated like family. I can't wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ I will provide the best outdoor time for my waggin' clients to release energy and provide an unbelievable experience every time we go out for walks and or for potty breaks. I will care and provide the best quality care for each of my waggin' clients! I will provide a safe, trustworthy and welcoming environment to accommodate all of their waggin' needs to feel Pawsome at home !
About: I don’t have much years of experience of dog sitting but I can insure you that the best care will be given to your pet! I had a few family dogs growing up but it does not compare to having your own. I got my first ever pet last year and he is truly my baby. Rex is his name, he just turned one year old on September 12th. He’s still a puppy in my eyes lol. I have taken him everywhere I can with me, the mall, the beach, hiking, restaurants, family gatherings, etc! A pet is a life time commitment so I try my best to bring him everywhere with me. I have taught him some on command training since he was a puppy such as sit, paw, down, spin, drop it and stay. He’s not very good at “come here” since he has selective hearing lol. I have recently been touched by all the animal shelters that suffer being locked up for a long time. That is why I decided to save a dog from my local shelter. Hugo is my second baby! He is the sweetest dog there very is. He does not know what a toy is even though I try to introduce them to him, all he wants is love and attention. I barely adopted him on September 29th so we’re still in the learning process of on command training but he is very good with dogs and humans. Both Rex and Hugo show the biggest love. Seeing them every morning and every evening after work really spark up my day. There are a few days throughout the week where I go home for lunch to play with my dogs. I am very grateful to have a job close to my home that allows me to check up on my pets. When I don’t go home during my lunch time I check up on my pets through a camera I set up for them. This gives me some piece of mind. My love for dogs is so big that I hope to open a rescue soon. I work throughout the weekdays but I can drop in before 8 am or after 6 pm for a quick visit! My Saturdays and Sundays are always free so I am available for boarding and day care for those days! I have two dogs, one Golden Retriever and one Siberian Husky. They are big breeds but they are very friendly! They just love to play and play! Your pet will be indoor most of the time with the exception of potty time and play time. I do have a fenced front and backyard. The front yard and backyard are separated but small breeds will not be in the front yard since the fence barrels are very separate from eachother and I fear a small breed can easily fit through there. Play time would have to be in the back yard with my pets. I also have a 3 foot tall dog fence I can use, if you do not feel comfortable having your pet around mine. There are many water stations around the house, a small pool for them, enough toys, and even a dog house with a padded dog bed.

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.
95% of sitters in Waukena 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 Waukena 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 Waukena.
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 Waukena. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Waukena 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.
