“Melissa & Angel were wonderful hosts to our American Staffie, Boo Radley. They were completely chill despite Boo's high energy entrance into their home! And they kept us connected with multiple photos video's each day of Boo's stay.”
“Monica was amazing! She was so flexible with us and our two cats. She housed them for a night and then when we couldn't have them at our hotel took them back in for 4 days without question. They returned to us happy and healthy! She has a great space and sent us pictures of our boys where they would settle for the evening. Monica was also very responsive immediately if we had questions and with pick up drop off times. Definitely recommend!”
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Isabella did a great job caring for Roxie. She sent a bunch of nice pictures and reported that Roxie got along very well with her dogs, which was great to hear. Isabella is cheerful, flexible and very responsive to my messages both before and during the stay”
“Charley had the most wonderful time with Katherine who really knows how to make a canine newcomer to her home and family feel welcomed and cared for. We're so very appreciative and look forward to his returning often!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have plenty of experience dog sitting for others. I currently work in the vet corps, so caring for dogs is nothing new. Being around dogs isn’t just familiar to me it’s something I genuinely love. I work full-time, but I’m available most afternoons after I get off between 12–2 PM. Thursdays are my longer work days, but I’m fully open on weekends. This schedule gives me plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care. I have a spacious yard, though it isn’t fenced in. However, my community has a great dog park where I can take your pup to play. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves meeting new friends and gets along well with other dogs. I’m very attentive and always follow any rules or routines you set for your pet.
“We asked Michael for a HUGE favor of taking our dog for our wedding weekend and bringing him to our ceremony so that he could walk down the aisle. Not only did they do this for us, Michael and his family took incredible care of Dublin throughout the weekend and sent us the most adorable photos and messages so that we did not have to worry about a thing. They are the most ideal sitters a person could ask for - thank you so so much!!!”
“This was my first time having my dogs stay outside the house, and having four wasn’t easy to find someone. Brittany was very excited to watch the boys has a big fenced in backyard, sent daily updates on them along with daily photos. Will definitely be booking with Brittany again and highly recommend her!”
“Doug and his family were so welcoming to our pup and took the best care of her! They helped her fit right into the family, and updated us all the time about the fun things they were doing. Our dog can be a little shy at the beginning, but they were very patient and helped her out of her shell. We will definitely use their sitting services again, and are so thankful for their care and attentiveness!”
“David R loves my baby Luther and they had an absolute ball hanging out together. David goes above and beyond making your pet feel loved and well cared for. Plus he takes really nice pictures of your dog and keeps in contact regularly so you won’t worry about a thing. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda and her family were wonderful caretakers of my fur baby. Simba had a great time!! Amanda sent pictures and videos and stayed in touch the entire stay!! Simba came home looking like a brand new pup😃 because Amanda also has great grooming skills!! I would definitely leave Simba there again if I need someone to care for him!!”
“Tiffany was great! She had a huge backyard my doggo could run all around in. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and they clearly showed my dog enjoying herself. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Would highly recommend her and hope to book with her in the future!”
“Ivy was AMAZING with our new pup, Holly. Holly is a very curious pup and gets into things sometimes but she is a sweetheart. Ivy taught Holly the “stay” command and “paw” during her week stay with Ivy. Our Holly LOVED Ivy’s son and got along with their dog, too, which makes me really haopy”
“Stefanie was excatly what I was looking for!!! She took amazing care of my four legged child. I will ask her again and again. This was my first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family. Seriously a wonderful experience she’s kind, compassionate, caring 💕for my elderly dog💕”
“Bobbie took great care of our old dog - giving him meds and making sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent daily pictures and updates. Our pup seemed perfectly content when we picked him up and we’ll definitely use her again!”

Sosa enjoyed his stay. I was nervous leaving Sosa for his 1st time but Cristel took amazing care of him sending messages and pics daily a couple times a day and with those I could see he was relaxed and enjoyed his time. We definitely will book Cristel for our next vacation.

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.
93% of sitters in Appenzell 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 Appenzell 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 Appenzell.
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 Appenzell. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Appenzell 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 PA 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.
