“Second time Zara has stayed with Melody and Scott. They are amazing people to leave your four legged best friend with. Definitely recommend them and hope they will be available next time we can’t bring Zara with us.”
“Molly enjoyed her stay with Benjamin and his family. She was very well taken care of and Benjamin kept us updated with photographs of her and how she was adjusting. This meant a great deal to us especially when Molly needed medical attention. He took her to our vet, where she was examined and given the appropriate testing and medication and kept us informed throughout the ordeal. We highly recommend Benjamin….😃🐾”
“My dog Billy stayed with Lucas and Thyara for 5 days in their beautiful home. Lucas and Thyara are very friendly. They were very welcoming to Billy. They are very caring couple, they wanted to know all about him. They sent me pictures every day, I liked that. I can tell he enjoyed his stay. I would give them my highest recommendation. Thank you Luke and Thyara !”
“This was the 3rd time my little dog and the 2nd time my cat have been in Miaozi’s care, and once again, I couldn’t be happier! 🐾❤️ Miaozi is absolutely amazing with my furry babies. She is incredibly gentle, caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She communicates so well throughout the entire stay, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing that they are in such good hands. I truly trust her 100% and feel completely comfortable leaving my pets with her. She goes above and beyond every time, and it’s clear how much love and care she puts into what she does. I would highly recommend Miaozi to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like their own. We’re so grateful to have found her! 🥰🐶🐱”
“Ella was great with my cat. She was sensitive to the concerns I had about leaving my cat, and quickly communicated what she would do to address those concerns. I needn’t have been worried, my cat was in good hands, and was very comfortable while she stayed with Ella. I would absolutely rebook with Ella the next time I need a sitter.”
“Jason and his family were amazing! They were all so pleasant and inviting. I love how they communicated regularly, leaving no doubt or worry while away from your fur-baby. Pictures were sent every second day. They have ample space both inside and out to provide love and care. My Teddy was very happy during his stay. We hope to have Teddy board with Jason and fam again! Thank you Jason and Fam!!!”
“Molly loves staying over. She is warmly welcomed by the entire family and loves her snuggle time while there. We always feel relaxed knowing she’s in excellent hands and cannot recommend enough. Thanks again for another wonderful stay :) :)”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our anxious dog received with Emily & Alison! He was clearly well looked after and treated with the patience and kindness he needs. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he has a safe place to stay. We're incredibly grateful and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring home to board their dog.”
About: Jake & I absolutely love sharing our home and love with all kinds dogs and we cherish all of their different quirks and personalities! We have been caring for dogs overnight for over 10+ years and I was employed as a pet crae professional for 3 years. We understand that each dog has its own needs and preferences and we are prepared to cater to them so your pup can be as comfortable and as happy as possible with us while youre away. We are happy to do all that we can to keep your dog safe, comfortable in a new space, and feeling loved. Including feeding them on their schedule, walking them regularly, giving medications, accommodating around anything that causes reactivity, checking for ticks, giving them plenty of cuddles (or space if that's what they prefer) and am happy to discuss anything else that I can do to keep your dog one happy camper. ⭐ PLEASE NOTE: We can only accept dogs who do not have prey-drive and who are calm and good with other dogs as we have a 5lb chihuahua named Beans who enjoys having furry friends around but can get nervous around highly energetic pups. Any size dog is welcome 😁 I work from home so there is always someone with the dogs, there to feed them, let them out, and keep them company. My husband is also is in and out but I will be the main carer for the dogs. We let the dogs free on the main floor of the house. We have an xpen and can separate the dogs if needed. There is ample space for a crate and dog bed so they can have their own space in our home. We have a chihuahua that are friendly with calm dogs so your dog will have extra company while they are here. They may take a minute to settle in but we've been watching dogs frequently for 10+ years so our dogs are used to it and all dog sits have gone well :) Please be reassured that our dogs will never be left unattended with yours, they will always be supervised while they are together. If they cannot be supervised momentarily or if they are showing signs of needing space from one another I can easily separate them with a gate or on different floors. I also puppy proof the house which includes hiding wires, keeping unsafe food tucked away, and ensuring that the space is safe for our loved pets. ***No energetic young puppies. I can only accept calm dogs as our chihuahuas gets nervous around highly energetic dogs.***

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 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.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
You and your Wakefield 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.
