“Our dog has a little stranger fear; Barnabas was super calm and gentle with her and she was at ease right away. He sent lots of photos and videos & she looked really happy in them all. We felt very confident that she was well taken care of. Five stars; highly recommend and would book again!”
“Meagen took care of our dog like it was her own. She was very spoiled the short time she stayed with Meagen. Meagan was very attentive to our dog and kept us updated the entire time.”
“Mavis & Molly had such a great time with Savannah, it was hard to get them to leave. Not only did they have plenty of room to play, but Savannah also spent time on teaching them manners. I will certainly reach out to Rover/Savannah for our next trip.”
“Jocelyn was awesome! She was so sweet and caring. My two doggos stayed with her for 10 days while my husband and I were on vacation. She kept me very updated with pictures every day, multiple times a day! My fur babies had so so much fun at her house and I have some of the most precious pictures of them from their stay. She took such good care of my dogs, especially my senior dog. She asked me for detailed instructions/care guide and was so accommodating to their needs! I would 1,000% book her again if we go on another extended trip!”
“We left our Luna with Barbara for a week . Barbara sent us photos and updates every day . I appreciated that very much; Luna was well taken care of . I would highly recommend Barbara and she is very caring and very knowledgeable about our fur family . She also has her own 2 sweet dogs that were good company to Luna . Thank you Barbara .”
“Rebecca was a fantastic match for my sweet Bernedoodle! She was very communicative which really put my mind at ease. If I’m ever in the area again, I might make up an excuse for my pup to spend some time with Rebecca again!”
“This was the second time Daphne watched Tilly and was great again! I could enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in great hands and getting plenty of attention. Daphne sent pictures and updates so I knew Tilly was safe and happy.”
“Rachel did a great job watching Tucker! She provided us with updates on how he was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate us when our flight got delayed getting back. Highly recommend Rachel for pet sitting your animals!”
“Lindy is an awesome caregiver. She took Bria on a walk everyday. And made sure she was comfortable. Very responsive. Thank you so much for taking care of Bria. Bria certainly is a mama's girl so doesn't like to separate. She was exhausted by the time we got home but back to her usual bratty self! Thank you!”
“We are extremely grateful for Jennifer’s care and dedication to our dog! She made us feel at ease with her updates and pictures. I can tell Dana felt happy and relaxed throughout her stay. Thank you so much, Jennifer!”
“Amiee was just the dog sitter I needed for Luna! She was super flexible, attentive and sweet. I got over 10 pictures in one short weekend of her watching my pup. I couldn’t be more happy with her care for my fur baby. I would have Aimee watch my pup again in a heartbeat! I was nervous at first as this was my first time leaving Luna alone, but Aimee helped subside my worries. Five stars all the way!”
“Ella took wonderful care of Simba! She was very attentive and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout his stay. Communication was great, and we felt confident leaving Simba with her. He came home happy and doing well. We really appreciate her taking such good care of him and would definitely book with Ella again. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Christopher and Grace were so kind, caring for my dogs like their own. They sent regular reports and pictures and were fast to respond when I reached out. I have no doubt that my pups were well cared for and pampered while in their care, and I’m so grateful!”
“Kaylee is super friendly and easy to work with! She sent us daily pics even though we didn’t ask for them. Her two dogs kept our dog company too for the week we were gone and I’m pretty sure our pup would have rather stayed with her.”

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 Avoca 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 Avoca 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 Avoca.
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 Avoca. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Avoca 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 AR 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.
