“Thiago was absolutely fantastic! My fiancée and I booked him to watch our two dogs, Danny and Bentley, while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the beginning, Thiago was friendly, accommodating, and extremely responsive. He made us feel comfortable leaving both dogs in his care, especially Danny, who is 12 years old. Throughout the stay, he consistently sent photos, videos, and updates showing the dogs enjoying themselves, going on walks, and getting plenty of attention. It was reassuring to see how happy and comfortable they were. He was also very flexible and communicative when coordinating drop off and pickup, which we really appreciated with our travel schedule. It’s clear that Thiago genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing Danny and Bentley were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. Thanks again, Thiago!”
“Jennifer was amazing! It was our puppy’s first time away from us for extended hours. It was great getting all the photos! She gave us updates throughout the day. We loved seeing he was in such great hands! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Friends, coworkers and neighbors have all called me to watch their pets and walk them reliably for years. I work a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but have all the time and attention to give your pets walks afterward and remain free on weekends! I have a spacious backyard that is fenced off for play time and potty use with two friendly pets of my own. I can crate your pet if needed.
“Randy and her family were amazing! She sent regular pictures and updates. It was hard leaving my dog with a sitter but Randy put my mind at ease with positive updates. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Lupe was absolutely wonderful with our service dog. She accepted him at the last minute during the holidays, which was truly a godsend for me since he’s always by my side. She understood that he’s a bit spoiled and treated him with so much care and kindness. She even sent us pictures and videos, which really eased my mind. I will definitely be recommending her. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Katherine is absolutely amazing. Our 16 year old anxiety ridden Morkie spent 3 days and nights with her and every thing was great. Katherine only takes one pet at a time and really gave Delilah special attention including having her snuggle up with her at night and take her for nice long walks.”
“Sabrina and her husband are friendly and easy to talk with. she seems to love the pups she sits. I have not had a chance to talk with her after the board because a friend picked up my dog.”
“My Near just returned from an amazing 4 day holiday at Jacqueline's house , filled with all the cuddles from her sweet son, tasty treats (with my permission) and amazing care. I didn't worry one second because I received update messages and pictures in the morning and evening to update me on how Bear slept (in the morning) and how her day was (in the evening). Punctual, loving , excellent communication and receptive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Will be rebooking again!!!”
“Laura was friendly, profressional, and made us feel at such ease leaving our baby Digit with her. We were out of thr country and requested emails and she was more than happy to oblige. Laura provided frequent updates and our pup looked happy and healthy in every picture sent. Laura dogs were passive and easy for our dog to get along with. Overall I would definitely recommend Laura”
About: I've spent years caring for and training three dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience has taught me how to adapt to each dog's unique needs, whether they thrive on play and adventure or prefer a calm, predictable environment. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adhering to allergy or dietary protocols. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any changes that may need extra care, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to provide a loving, structured environment where every dog feels comfortable, understood, and treated like family. I work part-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. We spend time relaxing and playing in our fenced backyard, enjoy two daily walks, and, with the owner's permission, can visit the wonderful local Wardlaw Dog Park for safe, supervised socialization and exercise. I tailor each dog's day to their personality, energy level, and routine- whether they love active play, exploring outdoors, or simply staying close by for companionship and cuddles. My house has a fully fenced backyard with two separate outdoor areas, allowing dogs to have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. There's also a private outdoor room where they can relax while still enjoying fresh air. Inside, the first floor is thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind. It includes a dedicated dog area with a cozy dog chair, comfortable beds, a crate (if your dog is crate-trained or prefers one), and plenty of toys to keep them engaged. I maintain a clean environment with a robot vacuum that vacuums and mops the floors twice a day.
“Emma was very responsive and took great care of our Sofie. She provided updates and I can tell that Sofie enjoyed her time with Emma. I would recommend and would definitely have her watch Sofie again!”
“Lauren was professional, friendly, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the long weekend with Biscotti! He absolutely loved his time with her and they’re definitely new best friends now. We’ll absolutely be using Lauren again to keep our pup happy, comfy, and cozy whenever we’re away.”

Provide companionship and comfort to pet. Receive and document cash payments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day.

On weekends, I’m usually out for only a few hours, so I’m still available to provide care and keep pets comfortable and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I make sure each pet gets the time, focus, and affection they need. When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or yours—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved.

I handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter or potty routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I also spend quality time socializing, comforting, and keeping them company so they never feel lonely. As a trusted key holder, I take home access seriously and always ensure your pet and your home are safe. In my own home, I maintain a calm, pet‑friendly environment where animals can settle in and feel at ease. I give them plenty of attention throughout the day, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and affection. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to create a space where they feel happy, understood, and well cared for.
“Cymantha was wonderful with my Jeda while we were gone! She made sure I got updates especially because my dog had previous injuries and needed some special TLC. She truly is a loving warm person who loves dogs and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. I would definitely leave Jeda with Cymantha for my next trip. Jeda loved being with Cymantha! She was a blessing:)”
“Ziara was amazing while keeping my dog, Mac. Her communication was 10/10. We had flight trouble getting back, which was stressful for us knowing that we wanted to get back and pick him up. Ziara was prompt to assure us that Mac was in good hands no matter what. We got daily pictures and updates just as we hoped for. Mac had a great time, came back clean, and smelling so good. Honestly couldn't ask for a better experience. We will 1000% be booking with Ziara again in the future.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Jessica. She loved our little Tucker like her own. She kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the day and sent us photos. He came back a really happy guy. We trust her with our Tucker boy so much and we can vacation knowing he’s safe and loved. We highly recommend Jessica and her home!!”

Erin did a wonderful job, our little teacup Sophie is so relaxed after almost a 4 day stay which shows that she was cared for with lots of TLC. We got many pictures and status update which is always wonderful , we were running late picking her up, but Erin accommodated us and was very kind. We’re so grateful and we will definitely be back! Thanks a lot, Erin! Sean & Laura

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.
93% of sitters in Willota 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 Willota 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 Willota.
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 Willota. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Willota 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.
