“Our dog Finn loved Shardae!! It was our first time leaving him and Shardae gave him the attention and love he needed. Also, she was very fast to respond to our request, asking questions, and giving me the opportunity to ask questions, to make sure she was a good fit for Finn. I will definitely call Shardae next time we leave town. Big Thanks!!”
“Valeria is definitely someone I would consider reliable! She was able to watch my puppy on a few day notice and was very communicative which I loved!. Big thanks to her for helping me out. I was able to go to work, do some errands and catch up on some sleep while knowing my puppy was in good hands.😊🐶”
“Excellent! I have an older dog, very hard of hearing and doesn't see well. He also can't hold his bladder for more than four hours, and can sometimes get confused. Jenny was so good with him! Not everyone can take on the added responsibilities of an elderly pet, including cleaning up after accidents. I am so grateful for her understanding and patience.”
“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“Terra is an amazing sitter and took such great care of Haku! Haku is a more reserved and aloof dog, but he adapted very quickly and was comfortable right away. Terra sent regular updates with pictures, which I really appreciated as they gave me peace of mind throughout out my trip. Thank you so much, Terra! I will definitely book with you again for any future boarding needs. :)”
“Birgitta, her husband and son provided Scully with a great weekend away from home! Consistent updates in the form of photos and quick messages on their activities for the day helped us be very comfortable that Scully was being well taken care of. I would recommend Birgitta to anyone looking for great pet care, and will certainly be booking her in the future!”
“Lacey did a great job with our almost 5 year old lab mix. She sent photos and our little Lady came home happy and tired. Will definitely work with Lacey again!”
“Leaving our pup is such a challenge especially because she is full of energy and loves attention . It also is difficult for us parents in making sure she will the care she needs while we are away. Carla was diligent in assuring that my Sophie would be well taken care of. Her whole family happily stepped in giving her love that our pup just gobbled up. Carla , was amazing in making sure she carried out the rules that we have in our home to keep a consistent household. We look forward to having Sophie stay with Carla again …”
“Angela is wonderful with our pets. We call her The Dog Whisperer. 😃 She's amazing with our Toffee Doggie and with the drop ins for our kitties. If you want your pet to be loved while you're away look no further. She's the absolute best! Reggie”
“I was nervous at first to leave my dog with anyone other than family but from day one Tatiana eased all my fears. She was so patient and attentive to mine and Canela’s needs. She sent videos and photos daily which let me see how well cared for my furbaby was in real time. My puppy was so happy in her care and didn’t seem to miss a beat. I am so thankful to have found her on Rover already looking to book again in the future.”
“Sweet couple! Felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with them. They sent pictures and video during her stay which gave us comfort in being away from her. Our baby looked comfortable and playful in the pictures and video. They reached out when they had a minor concern with her to let us know and ask for suggestions on treatment. We would definitely leave her with them again!”
“Deeann was a great dogsitter. I had the chance to meet her before dropping off my dog and instantly knew he would be in good hands. She sent photos everyday and took my dog walking / to the park several times a day giving him plenty of exercise. Thank you Deeann!”
“Thank you Kim and Coco for hosting Cashmere for the time we were gone. Kim kept me updated daily with pictures of Cashmere. This was our first time leaving her with anyone and was not sure how she would react. WE would definitely use Kim again when needed.”
“Sylwia is an amazing sitter. This was Pico’s second time staying with her, and for an extended period of time. She was so caring and always goes above and beyond to play, walk, and even gave him a bath! Would recommend her anytime. I’m sure Pico is already excited to stay with her again!”
“I left my dog Lulu with Laura for the weekend and she took great care of her! She was also very flexible and let us extend the stay for 1 night. I highly recommend Laura!”
“David went above and beyond for our dog Dingo. Lots of fun pictures each day, we felt very at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book David again and plan to - highly recommend his boarding service! Our trip was worry free and our pooch got a lot of love, attention and exercise. Thank you so much!! :)”
“Didn't know what to expect as this was the first time ever leaving our pup anywhere. Annette (Sylvia) was great, from the meet and greet to when we picked Oreo up. She sent pictures daily and kept us in the loop of how he was doing. Oreo was having fun with Poki, I would recommend her and her family, they were very courtious and welcoming. Oreo will be a repeat customer.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Athens
Absolutely wonderful! I left my dog with Brittnie for 4 nights and could not be happier with the experience. It is always nerve-wracking to leave your pup with a new sitter, but I was kept at ease with regular updates and photos. Lucy came back calm, happy, and delightfully tired from all the fun. It is clear she was treated like family and received top-notch care. I am so grateful to have found a reliable, loving sitter and will be booking again. Highest recommendation!
Tian is a great dogsitter! Through Harper's stay, he shared videos and photos, gave me updates on her activity, and asked me about her eating pattern to make sure it was normal. Very attentive and communicative with me before and during her stay. Harper seems really comfortable with him as well. I'd happily rebook with Tian!
Sylwia was AWESOME! She took such great care of him and gave him plenty of cuddles and attention. We know how comfortable and happy he is with her because every time we drop him off, he heads straight into her home without even looking back at us! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Rudy is in such loving hands. We highly recommend Sylwia!
Krissy was fantastic with June and Brea. Both of them were a bit skittish at first, but she was patient, worked through it, and they ended up having a great time together. She was super responsive and kept me well-updated the entire time. I'd happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Maritza was amazing! I needed a sitter on short notice and she was very quick to respond and accept my pup. She sent me many photos and videos from their adventures together while I was out of time. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so so so much Maritza, Jeter had a blast with you.
Sherry did an excellent job taking care of our 2 year old miniature poodle. We have never left her with anyone for an extended period (2 weeks), but Sherry and her husband treated our girl like part of the family, and sent us frequent pictures and videos. I would be happy to book with them again in the future!

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 West Athens 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 West Athens.
<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 West Athens 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.
