“Sherry and Jason are amazing. They were flexible when my travel plans changed. I loved getting frequent updates on my dog every day. I will definitely be using them in the future”
“Cara was amazing. My dog had a fun time and felt comfortable in her home right away! She listened to what my dog needed and kept her safe and happy, will definitely be booking with Cara again in the future!”
“Lexi and her family were phenomenal! They kept me up to date every day on how my dog was doing. The meet and greet was super smooth and helped me feel comfortable. Her dogs are so sweet and my dog got along so great with them. She even cuddled with them on the couch and they all looked like family. Would definitely book again!”
“Sirius and Willow stayed with Rikki for an extended weekend when we went out of town. Rikki sent us pictures and videos daily keeping us updated on the dogs stay and their well-being. They were happy, safe, and comfortable playing with her pups and getting lots of attention! We will definitely be going back to Rikki for future trips since the dogs did so well with her ❤️ Thanks again!!”
“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!”
“My initial meet and greet went smoothly. We met at her house and she not only let me ask any questions I had but also asked some of her own: Which shows me she cares. This was my first ever booking and I was nervous. She ensured a safe visit for my babygirl. I received updates and pictures. Ms. Christy also accommodated me having to drop off 2 days earlier. Which was much appreciated. We definitely will be back again! Thank you!!!”
“Amber was amazing! Flexible with drop off and pick up. Our little girl was well taken care of and was treated great. We appreciated the daily photos, updates, and consistent communication. Definitely recommend to others.”
“I cannot recommend Breanne and her family enough. They were absolutely amazing to my boy Finn who has some separation anxiety from me. What started out as a 2 day stay ended up being a whole week due to changes in my work schedule and Breanne was extremely accommodating and such a lifesaver! Finn came home happy healthy and exhausted from playing with her resident dogs and other rover pups. Finn will be back to play again soon!”
“She updates me all the time with pictures and videos of my doggo having fun at her place. Will absolutely come back! My doggo also loves her baby, they have so much fun together.”
“I don’t know where to start. Erica and Dennis where amazing. They sent me photo updates everyday, text me to let me know how my big was doing. I forgot he’s crate and they were happy to let me use theirs. This was the best stress free experience I ever had. I will be using their services again. I wish there were more stars to give.”
“We’re really glad we booked Samantha! She took the time to get to know our dogs’ needs and took really good care of them. She also kept us updated by sending pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away for 10 days. We could tell our dogs were in good hands, and we’d definitely book with her again.”
“Our dogs have a big age gap and Charlotte took care of their needs and their quirks with ease. Very responsive with messages and frequent photo/text updates. It was my first time leaving my 6 month old puppy alone with someone else and she put me at ease. Great human overall. Definitely recommend and would love to be a returning customer.”
“My Smitty had a wonderful time hanging with Beverly and her sweet dogs. I could tell when I dropped him off and when I picked him up that he was cared for by a committed dog owner. You can tell by the way she spoke to my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands. I will be back the next time my travels take me out of town.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌
“Marcus was great and took really great care of our girl Raven! She had so much fun playing and lounging she almost didn’t want to come home! Thank you Marcus, will absolutely book again!”
“Erica was AMAZING at take care of my two dogs for a week. She updated me every morning and through out the day with pictures of how they were doing, and even accommodated to my younger dog that was being a stinker to her dog. I would recommend her to anyone, 10/10. If she will allow my pets in her home again, I will definitely be booking with her again for other shorter trips I have planned in the future!”
“Yelitssa was amazing with our cat and dog. We booked on somewhat of a short notice but she was excellent and flexible. She communicated well, responded quickly, and once sitting our pets she continued to keep in touch, even sent pictures of both pets and let us know how they were doing. Our cat and dog both seemed very happy and we can tell they were the best sitters. If we weren’t having to move out of state I would absolutely book with them again! All that said, we highly recommend booking with Yelitssa. She will take great care of your pets!”

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.
