“Sage and Khaleesi were very well taken care of. Sage is a rescue and a little skittish, but seemed to do great with Blake. She always responded promptly to all messages and gave me updates. I definitely recommend her and will trust her with my pups again if I'm back in the area”
About: I have always had a pet dog since I was about 7! My parents let us do all the doggie chores so I am well versed in every area of dog care! I’ve had a cocker spaniel, dachshund, yorkie, bernedoodle, golden retriever and mini goldendoodle! Along with most of my childhood/current friends, neighbors and cousins also have/had a pet dog of their own so I have had tons of exposure to many different breeds, ages, sizes & temperaments! I also regularly babysat dogs throughout high school. I’ve had lots of experience training puppies and dogs and have been in multiple professional classes with my own dog. One of my childhood dogs was on senior care for a couple years toward the end of his time so if you need me to handle medication or exercises I can help with that as well! I am a stay at home mom for my daughter and pup! We take naps, chase, play with toys, snuggle, wrestle, window watch, go out to fetch at the dog park, take walks & go get pup cups all together! I’m home all day most days and am very flexible! Just reach out ;) I live in a neighborhood/apartment complex with lots of grassy areas and an off leash dog park! We have LVP flooring with a rug and they can play wherever they please! We have our little girl and own pup to make friends with! Our little girl has her own separate safe play area as well but she is fascinated by pets and loves to watch them play and she try’s to get in on the fun more often than not! Our little pup Bowser is such a playful curious boy! He is young and energetic and will be beside himself to have playmates! He especially likes dogs bigger than him ;)

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 Yontocket 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 Yontocket.
<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 Yontocket 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.
