“I am so thankful that i found her before my vacation. I met her and her dog before we decide the boarding. She made sure both of us, the dogs were comfortable and okay with the house, new dynamics. And she's been sending photos of my dog daily + always been communicating proactively.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my extra large, hyper puppy for the first time. Sara was reliable, responsive, and professional. She clearly has a depth of experience with all kinds of dogs and I felt %100 confident that my pup was in great hands.”
“Poppy had a great weekend with Krissy and Erick. We received lots of photos and it was clearly Poppy had a blast playing with the other dogs her size. We felt at ease leaving her, and we will absolutely be booking with them again next time we need someone to look after Poppy.”
“This was the perfect environment and care for my very very social and energetic dog. At one point.my dog was experiencing some anxiety, so upon request, they remedied this with mixing some.pumpkin with her food. This was tjsn the perfect balance for her moving through the rest of her visit. This is my first booking using Rover since other dog boarding facilities were becoming to hard on her nervous system. I am bery happy I did! If I am ever in need of care again in this location I wouldnt hesitate to use these sweet humans! The children in the home also really added to Calis visit, bringing mutual joy during the entire stay. Thanks Tara and Jed, and family!”
“We will be returning, Louis was absolutely amazing with Terror. From the minute we showed up Terror was so comfortable with him, Louis sent photos of him during the stay and took him on a much needed walk. I was so nervous leaving Terror but all of that went away when I met Louis. Terror stayed for a couple of hours while we celebrated my parents anniversary. Thank you again Louis!!!!!”
“Katie was amazing with Pretzel! She was very patient and caring, and kept me updated with pictures so I knew Pretzel was doing well. She even let Pretzel sleep with her in bed overnight, which was so sweet and comforting. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gave Pretzel. Highly recommend Katie!”
“Mercedes was available to watch our Birdie girl after a last minute change in plans to our weekend long trip. From the moment we dropped Birdie off, I knew she would be cared for just like she was at home. Mercedes was great about sending daily updates. Birdie came home exhausted from having the best time playing around. We couldn’t be happier with the care Mercedes provided!”
“Thanks so much Janice for first meeting and greeting us before the visit and sending lots of photos during! Sammie was so happy to be there he didn’t want to leave. Your backyard is beautiful and doggy friendly, including this Houdini!”
About: I love all kinds of animals! My first cat followed me home in kindergarten, and I got my first dog at 11. I nursed her through cancer during college and she died in my arms in 2022. I currently have 6 pets (5 rescues) — 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 rabbits! I spend my free time training them, loving them, and proving enrichment. I have plenty of experience from the puppy age to senior care, and everything in between. I work full time Monday through Friday, but am free on the weekends to stay home with your pups! I have plenty of time for dog walking & play. I have a large fenced yard, and a cozy house for your pets to stay. There is plenty of room to play with or stay away from the other small animals in my home.
“Indy was well cared for and got to go on lots of walks. Natalie sent us pictures multiple times a day as well. Natalie was very responsive and super easy to work with. We would definitely use her again”
“Sarah was communicative and very caring of Boone. She went above and beyond to drop him off and pick him up from our wedding venue, and took extra care of him as he became overly anxious in the process. She can be trusted to take care of your dog!”
“So thankful we found Kara. She gave such great overnight care to our two puppies. They seemed to fit in well with her home. We will definitely use Kara again when we come back to the central coast wine country.”
“Kambry was very responsive and was able to watch for our dog Goose on short notice for the evening. Goose can be uneasy and reactive, but Kambry was able to handle everything super well with care and understanding. She is definitely an experienced sitter and I recommend her to anyone searching in the SLO area!”
“Leaving Harmony with someone new was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done. She has never stayed with a stranger before, and I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for nine days while I traveled to Orlando for my nephew’s graduation. From the very beginning, Sandra was kind, communicative, and reassuring. A few days into my trip, Harmony became very sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and accidents in Sandra’s apartment, including blood in her stool. I felt terrible that Harmony was sick and also horrible that Sandra was having to deal with such a stressful situation in her home. What stood out to me was Sandra’s level of care and compassion. She never made me feel like Harmony was a burden. Instead, she immediately went to the store to get pumpkin to help settle her stomach, kept me updated constantly, and when things worsened, she let me know she believed Harmony needed to see a vet. Sandra took Harmony to the vet herself, called me from the appointment, and even put me on speakerphone so I could speak directly with the veterinarian and be part of the conversation every step of the way. Multiple times I asked Sandra if she thought I needed to come home early, and she told me she would absolutely tell me if she felt that was necessary. Because of Sandra, I was able to stay and watch my nephew graduate knowing Harmony was safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while I was away. Not once did I question whether Harmony was receiving the best care possible. I came home today to a well cared for dog, and I truly cannot thank Sandra enough. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and handle even difficult situations with patience, compassion, and professionalism, book Sandra. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Elise was very good about keeping in touch -- and even calling an emergency vet -- when my dog developed some unexpected symptoms. Everything resolved itself in the end, but it was reassuring to know that my pup was in such good hands!”
“Cara was great with Karma and I would not hesitate at all using her services again. She sent me updates with photos on a regular basis, letting me know Karma was doing great and enjoying her new environment. Thank you so much; would highly recommend this kind and caring sitter.”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our first experience using Rover, and it’s all thanks to our incredible sitter, Cami! As first-time users, we were a little nervous leaving our 7-month-old miniature dachshund, but from the very beginning, Cami made us feel completely at ease. Communication was excellent—frequent updates and adorable photos enabled us to enjoy our time away from the lil ween without worrying about him. It was obvious that Cami genuinely cared for him and understood the quirks of a young, energetic dachshund. She was patient, attentive, and provided a safe and fun environment for him to explore, play, and nap like a champ. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly exceptional with dogs—especially pups with high energy—look no further. We will book again and feel so lucky to have found Cami, whom we can trust completely with our fur baby! Highly, highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Karol did a great job taking care of our “Bonita.” She met with us in advance so we could decide if we were a good fit & was very kind & professional every step of the way. Bonita was calm & happy when we picked her up 🙏💝”

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.
97% of sitters in Whitley Gardens 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 Whitley Gardens 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 Whitley Gardens.
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 Whitley Gardens. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Whitley Gardens 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.
