“Watson had a fantastic time with Maaya while we were away. She was able to look after him while he was recovering from an injury and sent us lots of photos, we would definetly rebook with her again and highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“As always , 5/5 star! She is very communicative, kind and loves all animals! She provided regular updates and was flexible with drop off and pick up! Thank you again !! :)”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism up front really inspired trust, and once we made a solid connection at the meet and greet, I knew Luna was going to be in good hands. She absolutely was treated like gold. The communication was reliable and flexible. All the photos he shared showed a very happy dog! I would 100% choose to board Luna with Andrew and his lovely partner again any time.”
“Benji had a very happy reunion with his 2 fellow dachshunds. As soon as we arrived at Tracy's, Benji walked right over to Tracy and was "at home". Tracy kept Benji active with walks and play time, and even let him help with the laundry and landscaping. This was Benji's 4th stay with Tracy and he has several more this year to look forward to. Highly recommend!!”
“We tried Doggy Meadows for daycare with our timid and nervous pup Canela and were happy with the whole experience. The place is super clean and looks brand new, which immediately put me at ease. Canela is pretty scared of other dogs, so we needed her to stay separate. They had no problem with the request and took great care of her. I also liked that each suite already had its own bed, bowls, and fresh water. I wasn’t aware that this location is ‘Doggy Meadow’, a lot of great details on their webpage. The owners were very welcoming and greeted us right on time. It’s a family-owned business and you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs. They answered all my questions quickly and clearly, which was a huge relief because it had been a long time since we tried any sort of daycare with our skittish dog - since my sister was our original dog sitter but has now moved. The big gated field is beautiful. Canela got to go on off-leash walks and just roam around happily, which made me so glad we chose them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, clean, and well-run daycare! Thank you Yoni and Lonnie ☺️ Canela is looking forward to more exercise 😌”
“Ranah and Franki were amazing. They let us visit them before finalizing the booking so we knew if Lemon would be comfortable with them and their pet. They took great care of Lemon and took her everywhere with them. They sent us a lot of pictures and it looks like lemon actually had a great time this weekend! We’ll definitely be bringing Lemon to them again in the future.”
“Sara was outstanding at taking care of my dog and very patient with him as my dog can be needy at times. She sends photos and gives updates everyday. Dog was really well taken care of and he had a great time there.”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“Anisa did great with our older malinois Skye. She was understanding of her quirks and our instructions and was super communicative through Skye's stay. Skye was happy and calm when I picked her up and seemed to have a good time with Anisa. Would highly recommend her!”
“Ashley and kelvin are the best dog sitters! They took such amazing care of Bentley and send regular updates. Everytime we book with them it gives us a piece of mind :)”
“Our dog Gucci had a great time staying with Roury and Jessica. Even though the booking was made last minute, they corresponded with me right away to approve the booking. Arranging drop off and pick up times were very easy. They showed my dog an amazing time as they took him out on frequent walks and he got along very well with their two dogs. My dog’s birthday came up while we were away and they celebrated him with pupcakes and singing happy birthday. Will definitely contact them again for future dog- sitting!”
“Lovely family gave special care to our usually anxious dog. So impressed with their communication and structure that helped keep him calm. Me too! We were very pleased to have Jungho met and his family.”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Tori was wonderful taking care of my cat. I was nervous about being away from her for three weeks, but Tori made sure she was well cared for the entire time. She sent regular pictures and updates and allowed my cat to settle in at her own pace. Her own cat is very patient and did great with a shy cat like mine. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely reach out to her again.”
“Elizabeth and Dominic were great. They were caring and patient with my dog who can be a handful outdoors at times. They took him to the dog park which he loves and they were also very communicative and sent loads of pictures 🙂”
“JM was an amazing dog sitter for Lulu! From the very beginning, JM was reliable, caring, and attentive, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lulu was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of love and attention. JM kept us updated with regular messages and photos, creative, beautiful journal entries, and it was obvious that Lulu felt comfortable and safe. I truly appreciated the professionalism, great communication, and genuine care shown throughout the stay. JM is a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Lulu—we would be happy to book with you again!”
“Super recommend!! My boy was super well take care, and I love she give me pictures updates every walk they were having, he looks like he had such a fun time spending with Koda, her dog. Thanks Ashely for taking care of our boy and for all the cuddles he receive! :) super recommended!!!”
“Benjamin did an excellent job of caring for our kitten during an unprecedented heat wave. He provided regular updates with lots of photos. His three children were very gentle with our kitten and provided plenty of play time for her. Thanks again!”

Tianna and Tyler are great! I trust them fully with Sweetie, they are so caring and loving. Never feel uneasy about letting them take care of her because they constantly communicate, send updates and pictures without fail! Super flexible as well which makes things so smooth! I can always count on them, they’re wonderful!
We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Ettore, especially for such a long stay. He spent two weeks with Hector and Jeanette, and from the very beginning they were incredibly kind, communicative, and thoughtful. They kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures, and always reached out if they had any questions. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Ettore looked in every picture. He clearly felt comfortable and was genuinely enjoying his time with them. He also absolutely loved spending time with Dori. It was so sweet seeing pictures of them playing together, relaxing, and even sleeping next to each other. ❤️ Knowing that Ettore was being looked after by people who genuinely care about him and treat him like their own made our trip so much better. You can really feel when someone truly loves dogs and cares about their wellbeing, and that was definitely the case with Hector and Jeanette. We’re very grateful to them both and would absolutely trust them with Ettore again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little guy! 🐶❤️
Vickie is absolutely amazing and so sweet! This was my dog Miffy’s very first time staying overnight away from home. Vickie was incredibly attentive and truly understands dogs. She took the time to get to know Miffy’s personality, which helped Miffy settle into the new environment so naturally and gradually relax. Vickie also kept me updated on how Miffy was doing the entire time. I feel so lucky to have found Vickie！ Big big thanks to Vickie and Henry!
This is our second time having Jing take care of our dog, and we couldn’t be happier! Every time our dog comes home, she cries and acts like she really misses Jing. 🥹🐶❤️ It honestly says so much about how well Jing treats her and how comfortable and loved she feels while she’s with her. We’re so grateful to know that our dog is in such good hands. Highly recommended! 🫶🏻
Trudy was wonderful and was available with very short notice. She provided daily video updates about feeding and medication, and the cat room was very tidy when she gave me the tour. My cat seemed like he was in good care, and health when I returned to pick him up. I'd recommend Trudy to anyone looking for boarding.
We had a great experience with Cony and her family! Curly was very well cared for, and we loved receiving photo and video updates—it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and in good hands. They even took Curly on a little adventure to Marshall’s for some shopping, which was a first for her, and spoiled her with treats! 🐶❤️ We’re very thankful that Curly had such wonderful care and attention with Cony and her family. We will definitely book with them again in our next travel
Sara was a wonderful sitter!😊 Koo had a fantastic stay and was so well cared for. I loved receiving the updates, photos, and videos throughout his stay. Her family also spent lots of time playing with him, and he looked incredibly happy. When I picked him up, he almost seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I would happily book with Sara again and highly recommend her.🐾

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
