“Susie’s been fantastic! My anxious dog who doesn’t really like people warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was very accommodating to sudden changes to our flight, and we’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Barbara did a tremendous job taking care of my dog Luna while I was away for a weekend. She’s very friendly, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. She’s a great dog sitter!”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Sharon is amazing. She sent me pictures everyday. Clara is a 8 pound Havanese and very spoiled. Sharon is a a new trusting friend if Clara’s. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Sharon for loving our little girl.???”
“Our little dog was well and happy after a week with Melodie. There is a good play area and there were other small dogs to socialize with. We will book with Melodie the next time we need boarding.”
“Katie took wonderful care of my old lady dog Bailey while I was out of town for awhile. She was very communicative, asked me questions about Bailey's care and medications, sent me pictures of her and kept me updated on how she was doing, and always asked about my or Bailey's comfort level if they were doing anything new or different, like going to the beach. Bailey also adored the kids, and seemed very happy with her stay. She was living her best life during her visit with Katie, she almost didn't want to come home with me. Haha! Would highly recommend.”
“So caring and understanding with Luci's anxiety. Seems they had a ton of fun and she made a couple awesome friends. 5/5 will book Jamie again!”
“Second stay for my pup and you can tell she is well taken care of. It's hard to trust people with my baby but Tamara and her husband do an exceptional job. They always keep me updated and they take such good care of my baby. Will definitely choose them again for future stays.”
“Angela, (with dog Henry, and cat Dingus) created a Fantastic Christmas for Freddie with an absolute last minute booking after our other potential boarder was not a good fit. Great photos and video.”
“Angela was an amazing dog sitter! We left our fur baby with her during our long vacation. She updated me every day with pictures and how Winston was doing. Great experience!”
“Laura truly cares about dogs and will take amazing care of your dog. My dog is very timid and scared of most people. She was in great hands with Laura. Laura has a beautiful backyard where your dog can run around or just lay in the sun.”
“Mariia saved me at short notice when another sitter canceled unexpectedly and I needed overnight care for my dog. Mariia is a kind and understanding and took excellent care of Atlas and sent me photos and updates. I was honestly surprised how well it went, considering my dog is anxious and needy. I would hire Mariia again in a heartbeat.”
“Kayla and her family were so helpful to us with a last minute need to watch our dog. Auggie had a great time playing with his new friends. I received a video and picture while we were away. This was a great first experience with Rover!”
“One of my dogs had to go to the vet and was put on several medications the day before we left. Ron had no problem caring for him and making sure he received his medicine. He also kept me updated on how he was doing. Everything went great and the dogs came back happy and well cared for.”
“Tammy was great! She took really good care of our senior dog, hand fed him when needed, played as much as he could and let him chill wherever he wanted. We felt at ease leaving our dog with Tammy (and her husband and their adult daughter). Our dog was calm and relaxed when we came to pick him up. Thank you, Tammy.”
“I want to thank Heather for taking care of Mabel Mae. She shared pictures with me, let me know Mabel was having fun. She was very patient with Mabel, she is a 9 month old basset hound, so she is very active. When I reached out with a question Heather answered right away. Thank you Heather for taking such good care of my puppy!”
“Brittany did a great job helping my anxious labradoodle feel safe and secure and helping her settle in! Brittany is an excellent communicator and kept me informed as to how my dog was doing and responsive to all my questions and concerns! It’s apparent that she is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and her calm energy is just what my dog needed to get comfortable. Plus she and her husband are just a lovely young couple. I will definitely be booking her for more sits!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carus
Sue was incredible! Our pup, Cass, was so sad that our luggage was out and was obviously feeling very anxious, but as soon as she met Sue and got to see her incredible yard, all her fears were eased! Sue sent us the cutest updates and we never worried about how Cass was. We will definitely have Sue watch our pup again in the future!

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 Carus 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 Carus.
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.
You and your Carus 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 OR 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.
