“She’s super amazing and helpful. My dogs loved her. She sent lots of updates and was very flexible when our flight was cancelled and then delayed. Would highly recommend and would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Lauryn is an amazing host. She is caring and will send you lots of pictures when your dog boards with her. She is also very patient and prioritizes our dog's health. We have had to cancel several bookings with her due to unforeseen circumstances, but she is always kind and willing to work with us. I am going to make another booking after leaving this review.”

“This was Rebel’s first experience with Rover & I don’t think it could’ve gone any better with Denise! She spoiled him with walks & visits to the dog park, which made him happy! Definitely will be using again ?”

“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”


“Courtney was wonderful. She provided pics and updates. My pup was having an awesome time. Responded very quickly when I had questions. I would definitely recommend her and will most definitely use her again!!”


“Laurie was extremely helpful and accommodating for our weekend trip that got delayed and pushed back. Can’t thank her enough for taking care of BLU!”

“Ruben was perfect for our fur baby. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and sent loads of pics of Jack having a good time. He went above and beyond with her and his extra attention was greatly appreciated. Will definitely contact Ruben again next time we travel.”

About: I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian ever since I was little. I’m very gentle and understanding with each pets needs. I provide love in the care I give!! I also work at Camp Bow Wow and have a lot of experience with animals. I am on South Alabama’s campus with classes every morning but on the days I don’t have work I’m free to help you along with open weekends! I also live 20 minutes away from home so I’m not far. And I am always willing to negotiate! I help with the need of potty breaks and food and water for the benefit of each pet. I am always paying attention to the actions and behaviors!!
“I cannot say enough about Victoria and Danny. My puppy has never been around big dogs or young energetic dogs. He has only been around my husband and I as well as my husband’s parents, who usually keep him when we’re away. They have a dog, but their dog is 8 years old and very calm and quiet. When I realized our family would all be out of town on the same weekend, I was very worried about putting our pup in a large boarding facility for fear it would overwhelm and frighten him. My fears were confirmed when I took him walking one day and we came upon a larger energetic dog. My poor pup was afraid of the friendly dog who just wanted to meet him. I knew it was time to socialize him more, but wanted to do it in a smaller setting with fewer dogs and someone who could give him a bit more attention. I was so blessed to find Victoria. I explained everything to her and she was so kind and on board to help in any way. We met a few days before his boarding day and although he was very timid and only wanted to stay by my side, she was so patient with him and gave him time to grow comfortable with her and his new surroundings. She even interdict”


“Koryn was wonderful and attentive while looking after my dog, Sarge; she kept me updated with photos and videos during his meals and walks, and I am truly happy and grateful for that. I hope to book with her again someday! Thanks, Koryn :)”

“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”

“Shannon and her family were great! My high energy puppy was well taken care of and looked like he was having a lot of fun. Shannon sent me plenty of pictures and stayed in good contact with me while I was out of town. I will use Shannon again next time I need a sitter!”


About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for pets! I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure every pet gets the care they’re used to. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat every animal like they’re my own and keep owners updated with plenty of pictures and messages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available between and after classes, as well as during many evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and plan visits, walks, feeding, and playtime around their needs. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, crate instructions, and any household rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s normal routine. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention while keeping you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Our Marlo enjoyed his time with Piper. They had a spacious fence back yard. We received daily photos of his stay. Will be using her services again for our summer vacation.”

“We had an amazing experience! Our puppy was so well cared for and got tons of attention and play time. Communication was excellent; Anna was highly responsive and sent updates throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We will absolutely use her services again!”


“Allie was friendly, warm, and responsive. I received pictures and regular updates. Butter looked so calm and happy at her house. I will recommend Allie and will definitely use her again.”

“Reich and his wife Elizabeth are the best pet sitter team! Bambi takes a lot of time to warm up to people and within 24 hrs he was playing and enjoying walks very happily. He had daily walks and play sessions, and I got photos/videos each time. My search for the perfect pet sitter has ended, I know who I'm rebooking with next time! Thanks again”

About: My partner and I started our dog sitting and boarding journey out of a deep, lifelong love for animals. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me — I’ve been around and caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child. We’re not just pet sitters; we truly treat every animal like family. When your pet is with us, they’re not just safe — they’re loved, spoiled, and given the kind of attention and care we’d want for our own. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in kind, experienced, and devoted hands. My partner and I currently work part time, we have plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and play time. We are home every weekend and home early afternoons. We’re proud to offer a spacious, secure, and visually enriching environment for your pets to enjoy. Our home sits on 10 acres of cleared land, giving plenty of room for safe exploration, fresh air, and playtime. We do require all pets to be flea-medicated and up to date on vaccines for everyone’s comfort and safety. We share our home with two friendly dogs and two cats, so all visiting pets must be well-socialized and dog/cat friendly. Your pet will be treated like family here, with lots of love, attention, and space to thrive. We’re also happy to provide add-on services like light grooming, cleaning, and nail trimming upon request — just let us know what your pet needs!

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 Evanston 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 Evanston.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Evanston 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.
