“Yani and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Miso. They provided us with regular updates and pictures, as well as valuable feedback about how Miso was doing during his stay. They have a very nice front yard and backyard, which gives Spike (their dog) and Miso separate spaces in case they don’t get along, which I think is very thoughtful and smart. Miso seemed very happy and well taken care of throughout his stay. We felt very comfortable leaving him with Yani and her family and would definitely recommend them!”
“Erica was a wonderful caregiver to our dog Rocky! Very prompt with communication, providing daily updates & sending great photos and videos! She truly cared about Rocky and gave him some of her dog’s liver treats & made him liver broth to put on his food when he wasn’t eating that ensured he ate! She had a crate for Rocky to sleep in if he wanted to, crate door was always open never closed so he could go in/out as he pleased! We will definitely use Erica again! Peace of mind knowing he’s in excellent caring hands!!”
“We just moved here from out of state and we left behind an amazing Rover sitter, so we were a little nervous trying a new one here but we really feel like we struck gold with Candace and Tim! They took such good care of our pups and sent us picture updates that I loved! You won’t regret leaving your fur babies with them :) We will certainly be using them again!”
“Amanada is AMAZING!! I could write a whole essay on how great and loving this family is, but for the sake of the review, I'll keep it short! One of our pups ruptured her CCL a week before our trip, and this was one of those trips that wasn't going to be cancelled or moved. Amanda was able to easily accommodate the updated meds and keep us updated on how Emma seemed to be doing with her injury. Her background as a vet tech helped put our minds at ease and Emma and Otto were in some of the most capable hands during our trip. Our whole family loved the photos and videos provided and Emma and Otto had a blast and made themselves totally comfortable with Amanda and her sweet family. We will definitely be in touch in the future!”
“Nazgul took very good care of my dog, she updated me daily with pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and will definitely use her services next time I’m out on vacation.”
“We have been using Cheryl to sit for our pride and joy, Skippy, for 2 or 3 years now. She is the absolute best. Can't say enough good things about her. She is great with Skippy, and treats him like a prince. We never have any concerns when we travel knowing that he is in good hands with Cheryl.”
“Our pup had a great time with Brianna and Charles. She can be nervous when first meeting people but she earned up to them right away. I really appreciated the photo updates! Kaya can't wait to stay with them again”
“David did a great job watching Yumi! He kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, and his communication was reliable from start to finish. It gave me peace of mind knowing Yumi was well cared for. I’d definitely book with David again!”
About: My family and I have always loved dogs. Growing up in Japan, we had a Hokkaido dog, a larger and active breed, as well as a Toy Poodle. I have many years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I cared closely for our Hokkaido dog when he became ill, and our Toy Poodle is now 13 years old and lives with my family in Japan, so I also have experience caring for senior dogs. Since moving to California, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ dogs and have had several experiences providing overnight care in my home for one to two weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, so I always try to provide care that fits their individual needs. For dogs who prefer a calm environment, I can choose quieter walking routes with less traffic, while active dogs can enjoy longer walks or even a run with me. I’m also happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Most importantly, I believe pets are family. Dogs give us so much love, and I want every dog in my care to receive that same love and kindness in return. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can relax knowing how your dog is doing. If your dog has any special routines, needs, or preferences, please feel free to let me know—I’m happy to discuss them with you! I work freelance from home, so I spend a lot of time at home and can give your dog plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. During their stay, I’ll do my best to follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and rest. I also enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to adjust walks and activities based on your dog’s normal routine and energy level. I host only one dog at a time so I can provide a calm environment and give each dog plenty of individual attention. I carefully manage my schedule to avoid overlapping stays. For all new clients, I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a booking to make sure it’s a good fit for both your dog and me. This also gives me a chance to learn more about your dog’s personality, routine, and care needs so I can provide a safe and comfortable stay. My home has fenced patios on both the first and second floors, where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, relax, or play with me. When the weather is comfortable, the upstairs patio is also a nice place for them to relax or take a nap. Dogs staying in my home are expected to stay off the furniture and beds. I do my best to respect each dog’s normal routine and household rules while providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. Before their stay, please let me know about their potty habits, including any history of indoor accidents or marking, as well as their daily routine, any special needs, or anything else you think I should know to help them feel comfortable and at home. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Amy is fantastic with Sasha! Super accommodating, amazing communication, and takes such great care of her. Highly recommend, though please don't book her too much because I need her open for Sasha 😅 !”
“Andrew was wonderful and communicative! He took amazing care of our boys and kept us up to date a lot. This was extremely helpful as one of our dogs is high maintenance and requires medication.”
“Once I met Rachel and Charles, I instantly knew that Frankie would have a great time boarding with them. We were getting plenty of updates and successes throughout frankie's stay there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for boarding !”
“Melissa did such a great job taking care of our Frenchie boy! This was our second time booking with Melissa and she didn’t miss a beat! Walton was VERY excited to see her when we dropped him off. We know our boy is in good hands with Melissa!”
“Thank you for saying yes last minute! I appreciate the pictures, prompt responses and flexibility in pickup and drop off. Thank you for giving Mr Clingy lots of Easter love and attention. Hope you’ll have Oscar back in your home again :)”
“Elle is an excellent sitter and dog friend. My dog Lily loved her stay. Her home is a doggy haven. She sends pictures and video which is always nice to view. Lily got lots of walks, attention and love! Will look to her to watch Lily again in the future.”

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 Winterwarm 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 Winterwarm.
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.
You and your Winterwarm 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.
