“Maggie was great with our boy Viking. He happily went with her when I dropped him off and was sitting happily with her when I pulled up to pick him up. So glad they matched well! Thanks again, Maggie!!”
“Judith was great! Our little boy seemed to have a great time with Judith. When we picked him up, of course he was overjoyed to see us, but them when we were about to pull away, he had his head out the window as if to say, "aren't you coming with us, too?" Judith sent us pictures and notes of assurance that all was good. A+”
“Gloria is amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! This was the second time she watched our dog, Pepper, while we were out of town, and once again she went above and beyond. Pepper had a little tummy trouble during our trip, and Gloria was right on it, she communicated promptly, kept a close eye on him, and handled everything with so much care. We will use her again and we highly recommend her! Thanks again Gloria for taking such good care of Pepper!”
“Most excellent. Cubsy enjoyed his stay with Matt and Steve. Cubsy is a very social boy and loved having 2 or 3 other dogs to play with while we were gone. He came home tired. A very good sign. Matt provided updates. I also like that they put a tracker on Cubsy during his stay in the unlikely event he got loose. Both Matt and Steve are at home most days so no lack of companionship or supervision.”
“Kevin was great. His communication was fabulous keeping us posted on our little boy. He even sent pictures, which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to know their pet is in good hands.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Brianna was so loving and caring to my Raaksha, and went above and beyond for him!! She was sitting for another dog too as well as had her own dog and quarantined them safely while giving them all the love and care they needed. I highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time "boarding" my dog, and I was very anxious about it. I even had some last minute changes to my drop off/pick up dates and Tetyana was totally flexible. Tetyana treated my dog as if it were her own, giving him tons of loving and exercise the week he was staying with her family. She showed him the kind of care I would show my own pet, totally went above and beyond. I received many pictures while I was away, giving me peace of mind. I would have no hesitation about leaving my dog with her again. He was beyond pleasantly exhausted and calm when he came back to me.”
“Patti was very accommodating to work with. She kept us informed during our trip on how our pup was doing. She had tons of dog toys and took him on several walks. We’d definitely recommend Patti!”
“I felt so relieved leaving Luna with Sam and Darryl - Luna clearly felt loved and cared for and the adorable pictures and updates everyday was so appreciated!! I felt at ease knowing Luna was in good hands... it looked like she was the one on vacation 😆 I will definitely book with Sam and Darryl again - thank you for looking after Luna ❤️”
“The perfect stay for your fur child while away! I booked with Mike Last minute due to a health emergency and he went above and beyond to take care of my golden puppy crickett! He sent me lots of pictures and updates that made me feel stress free and could see how great off a time she was having! 10/10 will book again!”
“We love Angelica. My two dogs love staying with her. My older puppy relaxes with her, and my younger puppy plays with her and her dog. 💕 We always book with Angelica.”
“Great host. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She sent updates and was very easy to connect with. Will definitely use again, really great experience.”
About: Hi, I’m Gema! I have 10+ years of experience in veterinary care and 8+ years as a professional dog groomer, allowing me to provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while your dog is in my home. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. My schedule is structured around feeding, exercise, medication administration, grooming upkeep, and close health monitoring. I provide calm, attentive, boutique-style care and limit the number of dogs I accept so each pet receives individualized attention in a clean, peaceful home. My veterinary background helps me confidently monitor health, recognize changes in behavior, and administer medications as instructed, while my grooming experience means I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and keeping them clean and comfortable. I focus on reducing stress and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a safe, clean, and loving home while you’re away.
About: Ever since I was a kid I have always *adored* spending time with animals, and I would occasionally volunteer in walking, watching after, and cleaning dogs at the local animal shelters. I had a wonderful senior dog at home named Honey, and I have grown up with her though all phases of life, from puppyhood to senior. I am well versed in general pet care, and I would love to lend a helping hand caring for your own fur baby!! I'm home for the summer and have ample open availability to care for pets. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just some extra love, I'm here to help! I can help by feeding, walking, and general care for pets! Let me know if you have any specific instructions for your pet, and I am more than happy to accommodate!
“Ruby was excellent with Prue! She sent me multiple pictures and video of her walks and playtime. I know she was in good hands. Will definitely use her service again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals for 3 years now. I have been around animals my whole life! I am very comfortable around animals. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I would keep your pets loved, safe and well taken care of! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work easily with clients. I am available for walking, drop ins, doggy day care, spending a few hours or spending long days and overnight weekend stays. My availability is Tuesday, Thursday through Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 12 to 5. I can adjust my time if really needed though! I will follow whatever rules the client needs for their pets. The animals safety and needs come first always. The animals would be very safe!

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.

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 Willis Palms 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 Willis Palms 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 Willis Palms.
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 Willis Palms. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Willis Palms 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.
