“Vanda has watched Bridger multiple times now and every time she takes such good care of him! He always comes back happy and tired, exactly what you want as a dog parent!”
“Shao took wonderful care of our pup Drogo while we were on vacation, and honestly it seemed like Drogo was on vacation too. She sent us tons of photos and videos throughout, which made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. Drogo clearly adored her. We’d book Shao again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!”
“Scout looked so happy in all the photos and videos. I felt so comfortable having Kazu and Yuko watching over her during my absence. Thank you for all your attention that you gave to Scout and I feel very confident with you care the next time I need to have a sitter for Scout. Many thanks again!”
“William is a fantastic dog sitter! While I was traveling abroad, he took care of my Pomeranian and did an excellent job. I received multiple updates throughout the day. William followed all the instructions I provided to the letter, ensuring my dog’s routine stayed consistent. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for Pomeranian. Highly recommend William for anyone needing a reliable sitter!”
“Cynthia and her family are truly a Peninsula gem. My dog, Loki, is a border collie mix who thrives on daily outdoor adventures beyond neighborhood walks—he’s a regular at Fort Funston and Thornton Beach and definitely has high standards for exercise and enrichment. During his stay, Cynthia went above and beyond to cater to all of Loki’s needs and kept him happy, active, and well cared for. I especially appreciated her family-centered approach to pet sitting—it made such a difference knowing Loki was treated like part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave him and will absolutely be booking with Cynthia again!”
“This was Santana's 2nd stay with Allison, Gordon and Moses. He was very happy and excited to see Allison when we arrived and soon went looking for his BFF, Moses. He's obviously gotten attached to this loving family. Allison was ready to greet Santana when we arrived and had his belongings all packed and ready to go at our appointed pick up time. I feel very much at ease leaving him in Allison & Gordon's care. They show a lot of love and caring to my little guy and are very professional and conscientious. Thank you Allison and Gordon for another great experience. You're the best!”
“We couldn't have been happier with Alvin and his family, which is why we booked them for a second time without hesitation! After such a fantastic first stay, we knew Doc would be thrilled to see his buddy Sterling again. Alvin provides such a warm, caring, and safe environment that Doc truly feels like he's at a home away from home. As someone who used to fly with my dog, it's an incredible relief to know I can now drop him off with a sitter I completely trust. I can't recommend Alvin enough. He's an amazing sitter, and we're so grateful to have found him!”
“Thanks to her care, my first long trip was a great success. I didn’t worry at all while I was away. Also my little dog loves her! Thank you so much for everything!! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future when she’s available :)”
“Maggie took such good care of my pup Lincoln and I could tell from the many photos she shared with me that he had a blast exploring the parks and playing with his new buddy Pinnapple. Will definitely be booking Maggie again in the future!”
“Marie is amazing. This was a last-minute booking on my part and she had never met my dog before. She won him over quickly, has a lot of experience with dogs, and even took initiative to give Willy Wonka a small haircut around his eyes because I haven't had time to maintain him. He was in very good hands with her and her communication was stellar!”
“Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!”
“Sin made our vacation so much better by giving us multiple updates and photos of our cat. He had a great time and even made some new friends. It’s great to know that he was in good hands while we were away.”
“Sofia is amazing! Our 4yr old Shilo stayed over for 4 days and all the pictures showed me how much fun he was having. I really appreciate how Sofia was able to accommodate Bruce’s disability (his paw was cut really bad by glass and no longer can run like normal). Will definitely be booking with Sofia soon!”
“Renee and Chris took excellent care of my dog — a newly adopted rescue. He has stayed with them two times. They were very patient and loving as he gained confidence in a new setting, and provided frequent updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Luke was so great with Garbanzo! He has two other pups Roo and Pickles who get along well with other dogs. He sent me lots of photos of the dogs tired after long days of fun at the dog park.”
“Jillian was amazing with my slightly neurotic dog! He came back happy and relaxed, which is absolutely not always the case. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Henri had a great weekend at Paulina’s! She came out to greet us and then took the leash and introduced Henri to her home-he was so comfortable with her from the start. Our dog has hardly been away from us in his 7 years and I was a little nervous about leaving him with someone new, but I soon realized I had nothing to worry about. Paulina is a very relaxed person and sent updates and adorable photos each day. It made me happy to see him look so at home with her. Don’t let her lack of a backyard discourage you-Henri was happy and tired when we picked him up. We will call on her whenever we need a dog sitter for when we visit our daughter in SF. Paulina was an absolute lifesaver and we are so happy to have found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brisbane
Derrick was fantastic with Floyd and Snoopy during their five-day stay! 🐶🐶 He did a great job making sure both dogs’ individual wants and needs were taken care of, and we really appreciated how attentive he was to them. When Floyd had an upset stomach during the stay, Derrick communicated with us right away and kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. ❤️ We felt very confident knowing they were in his care, especially since this was our first time using a sitter after just moving to the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! Derrick was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. 🐾 We’re really looking forward to having him as our go-to dog sitter and feel lucky to have found someone we can trust! ⭐️
Guidi was so amazing I couldn’t thank her enough! My dog is reactive to other dogs so she didn’t take other bookings at the same time to make me feel comfortable. She sent pictures day and night and when my flights got delayed was extremely accommodating. She let me know when he got picked up he had a little cough and was concerned and to keep an eye out (but it was just because he pulls). She is so amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!
Can't say enough about Celina and her care for our two dogs. She was supper attentive, communicative and flexible. Her home setup is perfect with plenty of safe space to play outdoors. It's clear Celina goes above and beyond for the pets in her care, and we wouldn't hesitate to leave our babies with her again anytime.
Shao Er has been great! She’s incredible with communicating everything that happens with my dog when he is with her. And she sends videos and pictures all throughout the day. I am very anxious when leaving Jaba with anyone but there is never an anxious thought in my mind when he stays with her!
Karla was wonderful with my 7-year-old cockapoo, Appa. Appa and I recently moved to the Bay Area, and this was my first time having someone who wasn’t family dog-sit for me overnight. Karla kept me in the loop with photos and video updates. She also took Appa for extra walks. Appa is naturally anxious , but he quickly warmed up to Karla. I would highly recommend her pet care services to every dog owner on this app. I feel so at peace knowing that I now have a trusted dog sitter in my new environment.
Annie & Will are amazing sitters! They truly treated my dog like he was part of the family. I could tell that they really cared and put in a lot of effort to make sure he was well taken care of from daily walks, to cuddles, to engagement and training. Communication was excellent, they let me know exactly what to expect and they constantly sent me videos and pictures of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Highly recommend them and I will definitely seek them out for dog sitting again in the future!
Renee and Christopher are so loving to our senior dog Jeffrey and they care for him like their own. They keep us informed of Jeffrey’s day. Jeffrey is always content and that makes me happy. When Jeffrey stays with Renee and Christopher I can get away knowing he is in good hands.
We can't thank Victoria enough for taking such amazing care of Mimi while we were away! It was so special knowing Mimi got to spend time with other Cavaliers in such a loving, welcoming environment. Victoria kept us updated with the cutest photos throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Mimi was happy, well cared for and having a wonderful time. Thank you again for everything you did!! We truly appreciate you and highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter! ☺️

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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane 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 Brisbane.
<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 Brisbane 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 CA 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.
