“Mel was absolutely amazing! Was so great with communicating with me while we were on our trip and made Maggie feel right at home! We will absolutely be using her services any and every time we go out of town or on vacation!”
“Veronica did a great job taking care of our two dogs for three days! She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely recommend Veronica and will use her again!”
“We loved the little welcome message when our pup got to the front door. Alex is obviously comfortable and good at her role. My pup is a little rescue who doesn't always adjust to new situations easily. Alex was present to my dog and made sure I got all my needs met. My other family members who met her liked her a lot. Thank you Alex.”
“Laurel was kind and loving to my Dobbie. This afforded me the privilege to spend time with my family where 4 legged family can’t go. She sent me photos and videos that touched my heart and let me know he was being well cared for. Thank you Laurel and Rover for making this a very positive experience. I would not hesitate to leave him in your care again.”
“We had a great experience with carola watching our dog! Shes a German Shepard who is a very nervous dog and we’ve had a really hard time finding somewhere to board her and we were so happy with how well she did with carola. It’s nice to now have someone we can count on to watch her when we need!”
“Guadalupe was a lifesaver!!! I was in NYC for the holidays and completely stuck in terms of finding a sitter for Rikki, as my boyfriend works full time in Long Beach and all my friends were also gone for the season. I found Guadalupe and I was impressed by her creditals, and even more impressed by her prices. I was able to book the whole thing online from across the country! My boyfriend dropped Rikki off, and every day I got several updates as to how ridiculously happy my dog was while I was away. We're talking long walks, off-leash frolicking in (gated) parks, she even bought him a toy for Christmas! Guadalupe goes above and beyond for her clients, and outside of family- I wouldn't trust Rikki with anyone else!”
“Brittany was so kind to let us book with her last minute. She sent us pictures of Chloe enjoying herself and it made me feel so much better knowing she was having a good time since it’s not often we leave our pup with others. When picking up Chloe she was content and happy. I highly recommend booking with Brittany she was awesome!!! If I ever need to go out of town again I would definitely rebook!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Arianna to anyone considering her to take care of their fur babies. She is amazing, she communicates, cared for my Gio and Boba as if there were her own, sent pictures and videos. They spent 5 happy days with Arianna with amazing care and love! I will be a repeat client with Arianna anytime I need boarding. This home environment with a family was so much nicer than a kennel. I was at peace the entire time on my trip knowing Gio & Boba were in her excellent care. Thank you Arianna! Love from Gio & Boba too!”
“This was my first experience using Rover and I had my reservations, but Patty was great from start to finish! She really made me feel at ease with the daily updates and photos. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup. Will book again for sure!”
“Nadine and Louie were incredibly kind with my pet. My baby felt completely at home, and they were super flexible with all the schedule changes I had due to unexpected issues. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby.”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”
“Our dog Gracie loves going to Sandra’s. When we get out of the car, Gracie pulls me to Sandra’s front door; she can’t wait to play with Bruce. Our most recent overnight visit was due to a family emergency and Sandra took Gracie with less than a twenty-four hour notice. Thank you Sandra”
About: I have cared for dogs for many years. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. It's a large part of my daily routine. I have three dogs, all different breeds, which means I take care of them differently because of their different personalities. I have a part-time job; however I work a maximum of 6 hours and I am free before and after work. Right now, I don't offer in-home care at my residence; however, when caring for a client's pet, their safety is my priority. I make sure fences and doors are secure and pay close attention to any illnesses or special needs.
“Diana was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of Stark and Rufio over the Thanksgiving weekend, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. Her communication was a 10/10 she sent daily updates, photos, and even surprised us with adorable holiday pictures of our pups by the Christmas tree. Such a thoughtful touch! Her home was spotless, our boys were clearly comfortable and happy, and she truly went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Honestly, 10/10. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“My 1st time using the Rover app. I wanted someone close by and after looking at others I went with Manuel G. He kept me informed of my dogs progress and texted pictures. Manuel followed my feeding schedule each day she was there. My dog is very laid back and chills on the floor or couch. This past 4th of July he kept my dog calm when she would get scared of the fireworks around the neighborhood. When I picked up my dog she acted the same way as if she were home. I recommend Manuel G to watch your pets. I will rebook with him again when I go on another trip because I know my dog will be well taken care of.”
“Becky was great to work with! This was our first time boarding our dog who is young/we havebt had her very long. Besides my own worries about how she would do, our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety. Becky was very patient with her and understanding. She gave us frequent updates. Our dog adapted and did great! Becky was also flexible on our return timing. We will definitely use Becky again in the future!”
“My babies were well taken care of and settled in nicely. I received alot of video and picture updates on their stay! I am so thankful for the care my two pups received. Kelly is amazing! I would definitely recommend her services and hope to book with her again.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me informed during her stay. Based on the photos she sent, my kitty had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely use again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I have 19 years experience caring for dogs including higher needs dogs. I am happy to spend the time to provide any special needs your sweet baby has.

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 Wimp 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 Wimp.
<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 Wimp 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.
