“Virginia took the best care of our almost one year old Lab/pitbull puppy. She sent pics & videos & I can tell he was spoiled during his doggy vacation. Highly recommend for quality care and flexibility with drop off/pick up.”
About: My husband and I have had animals in our lives for as long as we can remember. We share our home with cats and a dog, volunteer with local humane societies, and have experience fostering and caring for kittens. We’re also comfortable with senior pets and pets with medical needs after reviewing their routines with you. We serve the Hidden Valley Lake area only. We can care for pets in your home, or welcome them into ours if they’re comfortable around cats. We require a meet and greet before any booking so everyone, including our own pets, feels comfortable. While your pet is with us, we’ll follow their routine and treat them like family. My husband is retired, and I work from home, so we can give pets attention throughout the day. We plan care around each pet’s needs, whether that means visits in your home or a stay in ours. We start with a meet and greet to learn your pet’s routine and decide together whether they’d be most comfortable in your home or ours. Cats are our specialty, and we also enjoy caring for dogs who are comfortable with everyday walks and visits. We don’t offer dog training or behavior modification. A stay in our home depends on your pet being comfortable around our six cats and large dog. We have a fully fenced side yard and a fenced backyard, and visiting pets are always supervised outdoors.
“Tim was GREAT with my puppy Frankie!!! He sent me pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. Tim has a great gated front yard for the dogs to play without worry about traffic or other animals. He was patient and answered questions even before I finalized the booking!! Tim has extensive knowledge of dogs as he also trains them. Thank you very much Tim for making my night a stress free one knowing my puppy was in good hands!!! Rhonda”
“Crystal was great! She took wonderful care of my golden retriever, Shawn. She sent cute pictures and updates daily! After playing with her dog Rosie and a couple other dogs she was watching, Shawn came back a happy sleepy boy! Thank you for taking such good care of my furry buddy!”
“Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!”
“David was wonderful! Arcee had plenty of space to roam and a sweet buddy to hang out with. He sent us a photo of her looking so happy. This really is the perfect doggie home away from home.”
About: As full-time work from home professionals, we offer consistent, all-day presence and attentive companionship for pets at every stage of life. Our single-story home is thoughtfully arranged for safety and low-impact mobility with pet ramps set up throughout, making it an ideal, stress-free environment for dogs with back, joint, or mobility sensitivities. Drawing on years of experience with senior and hospice care, we are completely comfortable and proficient with oral medications, eye/ear drops, supplements, and time-sensitive daily health routines. Whether your dog thrives on active play or simply wants a quiet spot in the sun next to a desk, we maintain a calm, flexible routine tailored entirely to your pet's needs. I work from home, so I typically have wide availability for furry friends to come visit. I can't think of anything better than having a dog with us as we work from home. Patience and good vibes abound in our home, as we've spent the past several years caring for two older dogs. Ramps on stairs and couches/beds for dogs with back, joint or mobility issues..
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“Lindsey is excellent! She agreed to watch our 6-month old puppy with no hesitations! About a month before the Boarding, we met beforehand at a Park, and then walked to her house to check it out. Our dogs became instant friends and within a day of Boarding they were best friends. Lindsey took excellent care of Honey for all nine days, and even helped with training Honey. She sent us daily photos and videos, so we could tell that Honey was having a great time at "sleepaway camp!" Would highly recommend Lindsey to anyone, and would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Lindsey!”
“Siarra was BEYOND accommodating and welcoming to my big 85 lb pup. She was also very knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors which provided me great comfort. This was his 1st stay away from home during the last year and we were gone for 4 days. Siarra made Hershey's first interactions with other dogs at the dog park fun and exciting. She treated him as her own and you can't ask for more than that.”
“Sarah was great from start to finish! Awesome and quick communication, super punctual for dropoff and pickup, and sent many photos of our pup enjoying her time with her. Will definitely book again!”
“Leslie is a wonderful person who took great care of our two dachsunds. She is also an amazing chef - We will definitely work with her again soon and highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10, which started with dog sitting my neighbors Doberman, and led to me dog sitting a cute pair of girls! I own 3 dogs and 1 cat I currently live with my boyfriend with our 3 dogs and 1 cat in Lucerne. I work from 7:30-5:30 and usually I am able to come home on my lunch break, 12-1, to let the dogs out. The dogs enjoy a fenced backyard most of the day unless there is a reason they can’t be outside. I am only available for housesitting on weekend nights. Weekdays I can do drop ins! I have dealt with dogs being scared over fireworks, which consisted of playing soft music, finding the quietest room in the house, and hugging her until the fireworks stopped. I work on whatever schedule you and your pets need!
“Stacie and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Ginger and gave her so much love and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and happy with them. Stacie was always quick to respond and sent photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
About: I have experience caring for and walking my family and friends’ dogs for 10 years. I have experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog is unique and that each dog has different needs. I am familiar with dog CPR. I am no stranger to administering medication to dogs. I am free after 4pm on Monday-Friday. On weekends I am free from 7am-9pm. If needed, we can arrange earlier or later appointment times. Thanks! I can stop by at your home to check in on your furry friend(s) and make sure that they have plenty of food and water in their bowls, as well as give them ample time to go to the bathroom prior to completing the check in. I can provide 30 min-1 hour walks, or stimulate/play with your dog(s) for 30 min-1 hour in the safety of your home yard or nearby dog park.
“Michelle is wonderful! Even though our dog is nervous in new situations, she made Callie feel welcomed and safe right away. Michelle was a great communicator before and during the stay. I won’t hesitate to book with Michelle again!!”
About: I love all kinds of animals. I have 2 schnauzers of my own, a kitten, and a hamster. I've pet sitted a bearded dragon and rescued an orphaned baby squirrel. There is no pet that I won't care for. I do have a huge soft spot for dogs as they are the pets that I have cared for the longest. I love going on walks and playing around. I used to volunteer at the LAAS shelter when I had more time. I received training from them on dog, kitten, rabbit, and hamster handling. I'm a full time student but my appartment does not allow me to hold more than my tiny kitten and my hamster. I would love to meet more pets which is what led me here. I make sure to keep pets inside or heavily supervised if they are allowed to go out in the yard. I am very careful with walking dogs as I am aware of how exciteable they are.
About: I have had a dog or two most of my life. Growing up we had Maltese & Golden Retrievers. I even had my Golden, Beau, in college at UCSB. My husband & I miss our two St Bernards, Donner(220 lbs) & Sierra (185 lbs). Our Eskipoo, Marley lived to be 20 1/2! We got our Laboradoodle Sirlancelot when he was a puppy 5 years ago so Marley had a companion during his last years. Lancelot will walk with us if you want him to join us! Dogs are always invited to our home when friends stop by or when we have dinner parties! People always say, " dogs just are drawn to you!" I often foster doggies. For some reason they come to our back door and want to stay with us. I would love to meet your doggies!! Life is better with dogs! We have a fenced in backyard and live close to dog parks and many walking and hiking trails. I can crate your pup if required. We discuss your needs and create a custom plan for your dog’s care. I enjoy helping train your pup & have had many years of experience with senior doggies. I multitask working on the Rover app and Task Rabbit app. My schedule is flexible and dogs are in my daily routine. I typically have at least one doggie with me! We have a a fenced in front yard & large beach in the backyard. I'm happy to crate your dog if requested.I l listen to you & care for your fur babies accordingly.
About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors.

We will never leave our golden fur-baby with anyone else. Diego is a dog professional- not just a student or other person needing extra money. Diego knows dog behavior. He understands both the canine's and his peoples' emotional needs. Received pics and updates daily. Responded to our golden's anxiety issues and made him feel safe and loved. He even came for a "meet and greet" prior to our trip. He immediately went down to his doggie level and just loved on our golden who was obviously smitten with him. He is just the best!!!

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 Whispering Pines 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 Whispering Pines 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 Whispering Pines.
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 Whispering Pines. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Whispering Pines 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.
