“Michelle and Robert were great! they communicated fast, very reliable, caring and sent us updates/pictures of our furbaby. Our poodle seemed super happy to be at their home and to have other friends to play with. We will definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to our friends and family!”
“Kayla has watched Koda twice for us now and taken very good care of him! She also kept us updated with pictures, which we appreciated. We highly recommend her when looking for someone to watch your fur babies!”
“We were amazed at how much we enjoyed the videos or our dogs, while we were away. This was our first boarding, and it went very well. Thanks so much. We would highly recommend this.”
“Kerry is by far the most amazing pet loving and accommodating person out there. We have been repeat customers and our dog Frankie absolutely loves her. (We do too) Our family always feels safe knowing Frankie has a second home to go to. We just finished a two week trip and didn’t worry once about the care of our fur baby. I cannot recommend her enough. She is the best of the best.”
“Finn had such a fun time with Christopher! He played so hard that when I picked him up he just snuggled and napped the afternoon away. I loved all the pictures I got everyday as well! Would definitely rebook with Christopher!”
“She and her family took great care of our Daisy! They have a nice home with a fenced yard for playtime. Daisy clearly had the time of her life, and I got at least one picture a day of her antics! Definitely will book again!”
“Denise was super nice to our dogs and treated them very well! She did everything we asked her to do. Her house was really nice and she had a big yard. We had a delay on our flight wich of set everything for picking them up, and Denise was really kind about that and ended up watching them for an extra hour Wich was really really nice of her! The only thing that wasn’t 10/10 was that I had to ask for updates rather than her just sending them. The updates were very short. And the pictures were few. I’m not complaining.. I’m just saying that’s something that could be better! But I would use her again for sure! Her and her kids were all very sweet!”
“I asked Nicole to watch my dog on super short notice and she was super flexible when I needed to adjust my coming and going times. She seemed to really love and care about dogs!”
“Susan was incredibly sweet and accommodating with our pup! He was so well cared for, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She has a wonderful, secure yard, and her dogs were friendly and well behaved. I would absolutely recommend booking with Susan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Excellent care and courteous communication! Pictures and video updates were comforting to receive and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Karen for your pet boarding needs and would definitely reach out to her again for our Ladybelle. Thanks again Karen!”
“Melissa was so patient with Cooper. He was so scared and sad that we “left” him and gave Melissa a hard time the first day. She won him over the 2nd day and I was so relieved. We were thinking of coming home early, but she was so patient and kind Cooper was fine the rest of the time letting us enjoy Thanksgiving and our granddaughter’s first birthday party on Saturday. Thank you so much Melissa for taking good care of Cooper and Sandy too.”
“Jill is a awesome sitter, reliable , communicative with photos , prompt responses. My dog is well cared for and loved in jills care. I have used her services several times and couldn’t be more pleased”
“Alecia and Terry were super awesome! They took wonderful care of our two fur babies, they sent daily updates and photos, which made my day! My two are on special diet which require a little more prep, Alecia did great with providing my two with what they needed, and in giving extra attention too! We will defy look to book with Alecia and Terry again in the future!”
“Nalleli and her family are awesome! This was the second time they watched our sweet golden doodle and we had no hesitations with them- we know she was safe and well taken care of! Nalleli’s communication is also quick and she worked with us with our travel got delayed! We would highly recommended them!”
“Gabrielle was kind and accommodating. My dogs have such different personalities and she was willing to play with one and sit and cuddle the other. They seemed super content and the updates put us at ease. Thank you!”
“I am beyond grateful we found Vanessa and on such short notice over the Christmas holiday. Our two boys were so happy during their stay and lived their best lives running around the big yard and being loved on so much. She sent pictures and updates and was so flexible to have a meet and greet before hand. Hands down the best boarding experience we’ve ever had! Thank you, Vanessa from the bottom of my heart! I will be keeping her as our number 1 go to in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Aimee and Derek. This was my first time being away from my 4 .month old Goodendoodle. They sent me daily pictures and updates on how and what my puppy was doing. I picked up Arlo and he was happy and healthy. I am thankful to this kind family for taking Arlo into their home and will definitely use them again.”
“Jan was so great to work with. She was easy to communicate with, and took good care of our Bella. Her two dogs are gorgeous and Bella got asking great with them both. Jan sent pictures and gave us occasional updates while we were away. Her property is lovely, with plenty of room for the dogs to play. We’d definitely recommend her and would leave Bella with her another time. Thanks so much!”

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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley.
<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 Apple Valley 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 ID 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.
