“Myra was great! She communicated well. Coco seemed to be so happy when she sent videos and pictures. When we arrived to get her she had been well taken care of. I appreciate her taking care of our baby. This was the very first time she has been away from us and we were nervous, but Myra did a great a job. We will definitely be using her again. We really appreciate her.”
“Very glad to have such nice care for Toby at Sylvia’s home . He was made to feel comfortable and I received many pictures during his stay . He’s a senior and seemed to handle being with the other dogs who came and went . Thanks for your special care during his stay .”
“Ruby is the best pet sitter I’ve had. Ella had such a good time she wasn’t all that excited to be leaving! She loved Ruby and made friends with her little dog. I will definitely take her back to Ruby’s when my next trip comes up.”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our boy with Brett & Stephanie. He is always very well taken care of. We appreciate the regular updates & photos while we're away. He gets all the cuddles & socialization in a safe and loving environment. Nasir is always happy but exhausted when we get him home-lol. We trust, appreciate & recommend 100%!”
“Derek was amazing. He was able to help us last minute and he took good care of our dog. It was the first time we were leaving our dog with someone else, we were worry but Derek was super friendly and he made sure we were receiving multiple pictures at different times. Definitely worth it and 100% recommend it.”
“Ms. Nina is a great sitter. She gave updates about my dog & was very flexible with pick up and drop off timing. I felt at ease with my dog at her home. Thank you so much!!!”
“Second time using Janet and she was amazing once again!! She makes sure that we feel comfortable just as much as our pets. Will keep using her every time I need a sitter going forward. Highly highly recommend Janet!!!!”
“Chryschel was amazing with my pet Millie. Millie took a liking to her as soon as she saw her. Chryschel sent regular updates to me when we were away and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed and I changed the pickup day and time. Her homemade treats at the end of the stay for Millie were also very healthy and tasty. She is the best sitter I could have asked for. I would surely be leaving Millie with her in the future.”
“Hannah was awesome!! We left our two dogs with her for a little over two weeks, and it was clear when we picked them up that they had a great time. Hannah also sent pictures of them to us just about every day we were gone, which was so appreciated. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Sizzo was so well taken care of while we were away. Letty sent us regular updates and even spoiled him with extra treats! We’ll definitely book her again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Myla and Jordan. They helped care for Rooster for a last minute pinch we were in and reassured us he was in good hands. They truly love animals and are well experienced in providing a safe and caring environment. They hosted our pup for a staycation at their house and we will use them again if Rooster joins us again in Memphis.”
“Julie was great!! Our dog Rudy came home exhausted from all the fun he had playing and exploring. Julie was amazing about sending photos and updates and making sure Rudy was engaged throughout his stay!”
“Savannah is great! She is very friendly and welcoming. She looked after Alfie when I went out of town. There were no issues with communication and getting updates from her. She checked in to let me know how he was doing and sent a video too. He settled right in when we got back home. I would recommend her for taking care of your fur babies for sure.”
“Brooke was awesome. My cat is very nervous but she felt right at home with Brooke from day one! Book her! You will not have to worry about your furry loved one at all.”
“She’s the best sitter in tomorrow. She’s like family to use. She is always checking on Cashmere throughout the week. We love her. She is thorough, honest and helpful. This is my 2nd fur baby. She suggests things to help me with Cashmere.”
“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”

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.
