“I felt that Myra took amazing care of my little friend. I will definitely be using her again if I am ever needing a sitter for my dog. She provided updates and photos to assure me that my dog was getting attention and proper care.”
“Mary did amazing with Miles! When we have left him at bigger boarding companies, he always comes home and pouts. But he has been all smiles and tail wagging since he left Mary’s so I know he had a great time and was well taken care of.”
“Mrs. Allison was the sweetest ! This was my dog’s first time away from me and she made me feel so comfortable. She sent countless pics daily, and he was in absolute heaven! I joked the whole week about how he was not going to want to come home lol. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”
“Brett and Stephanie are truly amazing. This was my first time away from my lil buddy, and it was for 6 days. They really put my mind at ease, updates, pictures, and videos! They truly went the extra mile, and I couldn’t be more thankful.”
“Derek is an awesome dog sitter! He took such great care of my girl, Lulu, and kept me updated throughout her stay. Lulu looked so happy and comfortable—it honestly seemed like she was on her own little vacation! He’s also very responsive and quick to reply, which gave me extra peace of mind and knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely trust Derek with Lulu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable to look after their fur babies!”
“Davis was exceptional! This was my fur baby’s first time away from home and I wasn’t worried one bit. I was provided tons of pictures and updates. I could feel the loving that my Benji received throughout the photos and updates. You won’t go wrong choosing Davis! Your pup will feel right at home!”
“Melinda was very sweet and accommodating. We have a big dog who loved her large backyard! She always texted me back when I texted to check on him. We would definitely use her again!”
“Ms. Nina is a great sitter. She gave updates about my dog & was very flexible with pick up and drop off timing. I felt at ease with my dog at her home. Thank you so much!!!”
“Everything went well on Stella's visit for many days, including a hand off of Stella to another family for the remainder of our trip away. Thank you for taking great care of Stella.”
“Repeat family here…we love Chryschel! The is the only person I use for boarding my fur baby. Sweet young lady, very personable and my pooch loves her and is excited when he gets to visit.”
“Julie was awesome! She helped us out in a pinch and it was a great time for our pups. She cared for them like they were her own. Great communication and updates with pictures. And as a bonus she took some excellent pics! Would absolutely rebook and recommend to anyone.”
“Madeline was amazing with our French bulldog!! Sincerely a 10/10. She sent lots of pictures, and updated us throughout the week! We were super nervous since this was our first time on Rover but would highly recommend her. Next time we leave we will check in with her first. Thanks Madeline!!”
“Kayla was an excellent host for our dog. She treated him like family and took the best care of him. She went the extra mile for us whenever we needed it. We really appreciate her love and care for strider.”
“Maceson is the best sitter I have known. Jack (my dog) adores him and loves to go to Maceson’s house. The most recent stay was overnight boarding, and Jack did very well, this being his first time ever to stay all night away from home. Jack actually slept without incident and actually ate most of his food I had brought for him! I believe he did well because he knows and trusts Maceson!! Any dog who gets to spend time with Maceson is a very lucky dog, indeed! Maceson knows and understands dogs and their mindset and easily creates a bond with them. Wish I had known him sooner! Definitely give Maceson a try - you will not be disappointed. I give him a 10 out of 10 score!!!”
“Mary is the absolute best. She was very loving and nurturing to Pebbles. She sent pictures daily to show how Pebbles was adjusting. She was also very patient and understanding. I was late with my drop-off and pick up and she understood. Thank you Mary. We will definitely be back.”
“Wow. This was an absolutely great experience. I had a plan for my dog when I booked my trip. That plan fell through and Abby saved the day. Based on my flight schedules that had already been booked, I had to have two different people drop off and pick up my dog. She worked with the schedules, she worked with my neighbor and my mom, she was fast to respond, and they made sure my dog had plenty of play time. She sent pictures and updates throughout the trip which always made me feel really good while out of town. Easily my go-to dog sitter at any time going forward.”
“She’s an amazing. I use her weekly. She always checks on Cashmere and I. She will treat your animal as hers. Cashmere loves her and I do as well. I recommended her. Very trusting”
“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”
“Abby was an amazing boarder! She watched my babies for 3 days. She sent me updates frequently and made sure they were well taken care of! They both returned to us happy and tired!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 294 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alphaba. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Alphaba 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 Alphaba 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 Alphaba.
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 Alphaba 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 MS 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.
