“Absolutely amazing care given to our girl. Jenevieve was excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I felt at ease that she was getting a lot of love when I couldn't give it to her.”
“Tilly had such a wonderful time with Meagan! She got a lot of extra cuddles, and got the chance to interact with a few new dog friends. I would definitely recommend her and book her again.”
“Jaden was wonderful with Gracie. He is caring and kind. We appreciated his daily updates and photos. I would use Jaden again recommending him to everyone.”
“Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!”
“Right when we walked in Wilbur sniffed out the toys and bully sticks! Cynthia kept us updates with pictures and videos of Wilbur running around and playing in the yard all weekend.”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job with Raz! I received multiple updates every day with how she was doing. I got back from vacation a day later than I expected and Elizabeth was able to keep my dog an extra night with no problem. She even ran to the pet store and got some ear cleaner for Raz when she noticed her ears were bothering her! Overall an awesome experience and you can tell Elizabeth cares a lot about these dogs. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hello! My name is Bobby and I have one German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix named Keoni. Before Keoni, I have cared for dogs of friends and relatives' while they are away. Over the years of taking care of dogs, I realized I have a knack for interacting with them. I love spending time with all types of dogs, even the most energetic ones! As a herding dog owner myself, I know how important it is to get their energy out, so your home is not completely destroyed! Keoni and I have joined a frisbee league with one another and enjoy staying active ourselves throughout the week. I will take your dogs on runs, play fetch with them, or engage in whatever activity they are interested in. My full-time job is Hybrid, and work both in an office and at home. My schedule can vary throughout the week with meetings, where I will have to travel to, however with enough notice, my schedule can be very flexible if a pet needs additional attention. I currently live in a one bedroom apartment but will have plenty of room to care for an extra dog. At my apartment complex, there is a dog park area provided for tenants that I am able to bring dogs to for exercise.
“Holly and her family are awesome. Sally and Sam really didn’t want to leave to come home. Holly kept me very up to date on what was going on with them. She sent photos also. I believe they had a great time and I will use Holly anytime we go on vacations.”
“Kelly took great care of Cooper while we were out of town for a week! I loved knowing that she’s a dog trainer. He got along great with her dogs and had a place nearby to run. She was also super responsive. Will definitely use her again.”
“Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.”
“Brett was great. Replied very quickly to messages. His dog was very friendly with my dog so nothing to worry about. Will definitely be bringing Lilly back in the future. Location couldn’t have been better either, very close to my home.”
“Absolutely amazing! Our favorite Rover Sitter yet! My husband and I had conflicting work schedules and Tanya was available to accommodate and watch out dog for us. Some days she had other dogs which out dog loved and other days where she didn't have other dogs she still made sure our high energy dog was able to go on walks and had a way to take out the energy. Her children took amazing care of our pup as well! Loved the family effort that came from the household!”
“We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Lara and Cary were very responsive. We are so happy with how they cared for our two dogs. Based on the conversation and the pictures they sent, our pups were totally spoiled during their stay. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our fur babies!”
“Lana was the first sitter i’ve ever used on Rover, and it was the first time I ever left my dog. She was absolutely amazing! I got photos and daily updates on what my dog was up to. It was very clear that my dog was in good hands- and got so much love I wasn’t sure she’d even want to come home!”
“Karina took excellent care of our pup! She sent updates and he looked so happy all the time. Clearly he had plenty of play, exercise, and love! Karina left us worry-free while we traveled and was very flexible with us.”

Aly did such a great job with my two dogs. This is the first time they were left with someone other than family. She was great with communications and photos. I was nervous about leaving them for a week while on vacation out of state. I think both of them had a great time. We will definitely use her in the future.

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.
95% of sitters in Capitol Heights 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 Capitol Heights 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 Capitol Heights.
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 Capitol Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Capitol Heights 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 IA 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.
