“I just cannot say enough good things about Amy and her care for my pup Beau. Above all else, Amy and Beau really connected, and seeing how comfortable and relaxed he was with her and her family gave me the ability enjoy my trip. Amy sent pictures of Beau enjoying his stay at least once a day. So glad to finally have found my dog person!”
“We had been looking for a Rover sitter who we can leave our 6 year old “designer-bred” Schnoodle Archie and have piece of mind. We were booked for a 7-day Princess cruise and we were prepared to cancel our vacation if we can find someone that are completely comfortable with. Luckily, we found Stephanie Anne at the last minute. The meet and greet showed us how selective she was to make sure Archie will adjusts and will get alone with the select group of small dogs with her. She let out just one dog at a time and observed the chemistry with our Archie. There were about 6 small dogs - Stephanie Anne told us their unique personalities. She is clearly has the experience we are looking for. During our 7-day vacation, Stephanie Anne sent daily written updates, stories and many photos that captured the special moments of that day. Stephanie Anne met and exceeded our expectations - Archie was safe, met and enjoyed new friends, and Stephanie Anne carried out all our instructions. We finally found Archie a vacation home away from home. Highly recommended. Will will re-book for our next vacation in December.”
“We are very glad we found Monica. She knows what she is doing, very responsive and caring. Millie had a good time and we had piece of mind while being away. Will definitely come back ?”
“Teresa was incredible with watching our 2 dogs. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend her. She was extremely flexible with us when we had some late changes with days added to our schedule. She literally went out of her way to make things easier for us and kept us updated during our pups stay with her. It was like sending our kids to the grandparents - our dogs got more with Teresa than they get at home!”
“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”
“Marisa and her puppy, Maya, made Yoshi feel right at home. Marisa kept me updated with pictures and communicated extremely well. Even though Yoshi was happy to see me, he is a bit sad because am sure he misses his new friend, Maya. I highly recommend this family for your doggy sitting needs!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Roseanna and her sons took very good care of our fur baby. I went on Rover and she was the 1st name that popped up with great reviews. I contacted her 2 days before Christmas Eve. I needed services for 1 night - Christmas Eve and a pick up on Christmas day. Roseanna is very nice and accommodating. Kobe will definitely visit again very soon. Thanks again! :)”
“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”
“If I could give more stars I would!!! Kathleen was fantastic! My dog had the best vacation at Kathleen’s house!! She was great with communication and always sent pictures to show how happy he was! Beaus looking forward to his next vacation at Kathleen’s!!”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dog! From the moment we met, I could tell Jia had a natural connection with animals. Jia was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced. My dog instantly felt comfortable, and I felt completely at ease leaving him in such capable hands. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and even a few videos that showed how happy and relaxed my dog was. It was clear he was being well-loved and cared for. The sitter went above and beyond with walks, playtime, and making sure he stuck to his routine. I came home to a calm, happy pup—and a clean house! I wholeheartedly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pet. I will absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you for treating my dog like your own!”
“Melissa and Dan were great while I was in the hospital for two days and an overnight. They truly went above and beyond to keep my toy poodle Charlie feeling secure and comfortable. Dan walked her according the the schedule she was used to and even let her sleep on his chest when she was missing her mom too much to stay in the crate overnight. I can't say enough how grateful I am for their attention and sensitivity to her needs. And for all the photo updates. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for boarding Charlie.”
“Great communication. Seemed to really take pride in taking good care of our dog. She came back happy and we were able to enjoy a vacation without worrying about our animal care.”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Simply the best! The sweetest people that took the best care of our goldendoodle Summer for a week long stay while our family was on vacation. We know she was showered with love and attention the entire time. They are experienced dog lovers and we’d love to use them in the future! PS - I think Summer was sad to leave!”

Vanessa is simply the absolute best & an incredible human! We so appreciate the care you give to Shamus & he LOVES you so much. Thank you for everything & the updates. I don’t worry for a second when my boy is with you. He has the best time staying with you & I cannot recommend you enough! See you next time!
Teresa and her family were a perfect fit for my senior Goldendoodle. From start to finish, she was a pleasure to work with and cared for my dog as if she was her own, spoiling her every step of the way. Will definitely book again! Thank you Teresa and your boys for watching over our Bailey!

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 Birmingham home-away-from-home, 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 Birmingham.
<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 Birmingham 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 , 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 .
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 NJ 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.
