“Myra is THE BEST! I was in a major bind and she responded just in time and saved me and my baby, Harley! She sent me pics throughout the day and made me very comfortable, as this was Harley’s first time with a sitter. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Sylvia took great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. We appreciated all the texts, photos, and videos showing what a good time she was having. We’ll definitely call on Sylvia again!”

“Y’all Ms.Sharon is AWESOME! My daughter loves Bubba when we first took him to Ms.Sharon she was like oh I’m going to miss him so much. I didn’t hear it again after meeting in person. When we first made it there Bubba was acting scared like he didn’t want to go in and Ms.Sharon immediately start showing him love and playing with him. That made me and Malaysia happy because he immediately felt like he was at home. It seemed like. She stayed in communication with us pictures, text and we talked. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. She truly loves what she does. She actually has her house set up to take care of our babies. I love it. I fell in love with her immediately, just the conversation and watching her interact with Bubba I New the love was real. Y’all the room is awesome. She has toys,clothes and beds. It’s amazing but again her communication her welcoming all I can say is if you want somewhere for your dog to go and not have to worry about them, being taking care of and loved, MS.SHARON is the place to go..”
“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”
“Cam was so patient and so sweet to Bubbles while I was away. She sent pictures and videos daily so I could see how she was doing. And if Bubbles was being difficult, Cam was so open to suggestions to make sure Bubbles had the best possible time. Bubbles came home exhausted from having so much fun and slept the entire ride home. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Tory was amazing with Enzo!! Always kept me frequently updated me on how he was. In all the pictures you could tell he was very happy and smiley. Will definitely book her again!!!!”
“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”
“Kelly was awesome with Oakley. It was very last minute for us being from out of town. Sent us pictures and stayed in contact the entire time. Will definitely have her dog sit for us when we're in Olive Branch.”
“Julie is hands-down our go-to sitter whenever we travel. She watched our two Labs, Mochi and Rex, and took wonderful care of both of them. Rex was only 9 weeks old at the time, and Julie went above and beyond with the extra attention a young puppy needs — including handling his late-night whining with so much patience. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and total peace of mind. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our pups — Julie is the best!”
“Myla was so great! She was easy to talk to and responded to any questions in a very timely manner. My 2 dogs are rescue dogs and showed some initial anxiety when left for the first time. Myla was very responsive and caring and gave them exactly what they needed. She sent updates while we were gone and we returned to some very well cared for and happy dogs. I would highly recommend her!”
“Once again, Maceson went above and beyond to meet my needs of an extremely early morning drop-off due to an early flight. Also, my return flight to Memphis after flying back into the country was canceled and I had to spend the night in Arlanta. Maceson gladly took care of my girl for an unexpected extra night”
“Will was very communicative and responsive not only during the booking process, but while my babies were with him. He sent photos and a video. His home was easy to find and we were flexible with pickup. I will use him again. Thanks for caring for my boys!”
“Tara was a awesome sitter buddy really didn’t wanna leave with me when I can to pick him up lol he watched Tara & his buddy roscoe until he couldn’t see them anymore.....she was great with communicating and sending messages,pics & videos....buddy was very happy & I will definitely use Tara again in the future❤️”
“I had to find a dog sitter the day before I travelled out of state and Vivian accepted without hesitation. I am always nervous leaving my animals with someone new but she may me feel very comfortable leaving my dog Bowie with her. Bowie got along with her sweet pup so well and I know he was in a safe happy space with them. She sent me photos and updates everyday and I was glad Bowie was with people that care just as much about him as I do. We will definitely bring Bowie back next time we need to board so he can visit his new friend Harley:)”

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 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.
94% of sitters in Cockrum 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 Cockrum 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 Cockrum.
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 Cockrum. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Cockrum 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 MS 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.
