“Playtime. Nap time. Snack time. Cuddle time. My puppy dog approves. And as a dog mom, I can’t say enough great things about Jason and Sherry’s Rover Resort. Confidence in our pup’s caretaker is priceless. And seeing our pup having a blast while we’re away is a blessing. I highly recommend.”
“From drop off to pick up, we felt completely at ease. Cara was so warm and welcoming, and Stanley immediately took to her and her own dogs. Throughout Stanley's stay, Cara kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see him playing, exploring, and having such a great time. It's such a relief to know he was in such good hands. I absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to watch Stanley!”
“Teri was fantastic for Ash’s first night away from home! I greatly appreciated the pictures and updates. Ash came home happy and relaxed. Will definitely be rebooking for future overnight trips!”
“Ling and Andrew did a great job. Milo had tons of fun playing fetch and going on walks. He always comes back super happy and tired. Thank you again Ling and Andrew!”
“Lexi was amazing and sent us pictures often and even added that our Boba said goodnight! Very sweet and personable! Boba seemed to love her and her family! We'll definitely use her again!”
“I was fortunate to have Samantha and Anthony respond when I was seeking help for my sister’s dog, Ziggy. I am in Pa and my sister, who lives in Colorado was admitted to the hospital. Samantha and Anthony went above and beyond to pick up Ziggy from her home. They take care of him as their own. I get daily pictures, videos and communications keeping me updated. They bathed him and prepared a lovely goody basket to send home with him. They have been a blessing through this difficult time and have become like family.”
“Melissa was awesome. She sent pictures every day and kept us informed. She responded quickly when we had questions. I will definitely be using her services again. Charlee came home happy. Thanks Melissa”
“This is the best dog sitter you will find! Great with both my puppy and my big dog. Big dog can be kind of barky sometimes but Hanui is so kind to her and her energy calms Cleo right down! Great w puppy care which is awesome bc puppies are hard!!”
“Our shepherd mix dog had a great time. Came home happy and obviously not stressed like she has from other sitters. Communication is great. Location and house is great. Will definitely rebook in the future”
“Amber was great with Piper. She sent me photos and took my pup on a nice walk each day. I'd be happy for Amber to watch Piper again. Thank you!”
“Erica and her family were so kind and generous to take such excellent care of our puppy on such short notice while on vacation. We are so grateful!”
“Cate was absolutely AMAZING! She took the best quality pics of our guy, took great care of him, and went above and beyond when I had some issues come up during my trip. I know we can trust her with Dante, and she is just a wonderful person. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was my first time using this service. It was a last minute need and Tami was very accommodating and kind. I could not have asked for a better person, home or experience for my little Bella. Tami went above and beyond. Got lots of updates, photos ect. Her home is a good fit, her 2 little fur babies are great. Again a person could not want or expect more.”
“Mysha and her family were wonderful with our dog for a week. She sent regular updates to us and made our dog feel like part of her family. Mysha's communication was wonderful and we always felt like our dog was in a good home.”
“I have had Matthew board for me on a couple of occasions and my dog was well taken care of. Matthew was upfront and quick with any information pertaining to my dog and his wellbeing. He communicates well and his fees are very reasonable. Will definitely be looking to rebook with Matthew and his family”
“Attentive and kind. This is the first time I left my pup with anyone, and Vikki was hospitable and responsive. Sharky will look forward to going back!”
“Idali was wonderful with my dogs Atlas and Titan! She was very responsive and flexible with my chaotic schedule, and sent lots of photos as well. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you Idali!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 582 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Adelaide. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Adelaide 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 Adelaide 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 Adelaide.
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 Adelaide. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Adelaide 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 CO 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.
