“Very efficient in keeping me posted on my pup. He did better for her than me lol. Gizmo found his new best friends!! Never used a sitter before but so glad it was a great first experience.”
“Addy had a fantastic time during her stay! She’s very shy and felt completely comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. She came back exhausted from playing in the yard all day. I’m so appreciative of their wonderful care!”
“I could tell my pup was well taken care during her time with Donald & Affton. If possible they will be the ones I’ll have her start with every time I need Rover!”
“Angela was amazing with Milo. She provides such comfortable accommodations for him and shared pictures which helped reassure us. This is our first ti boarding our cat and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We will definitely use Angela again. She’s a sweetheart and clearly loves animals.”
“Kristy and her family were awesome! My two pups were very well socialized with all of her pets, even my anxious girl became comfortable and seemed to enjoy her stay. Kristy gave them both special attention, even making them scrambled eggs one morning, and letting them cozy up on her bed. You can tell she is a true dog lover and understands what they need. She gave me lots of updates and photos to put my mind at ease!”
“Alma fue excelente cuidadora para Dublín, siempre estuvo en comunicación y enviando fotos de cómo iba el día. Dublín fue muy consentido el tiempo que estuvo con Alma. Super recomendada ❤️”
“Griffen and Gloria were nothing short of amazing taking care of my Crystal, who had never been with anyone other than family before. The updates were comforting and the quick response in communication were much appreciated. I like that they limit the amount of dogs and only take small ones. Absolutely recommend!!”
“Shelly was great. We loved the updates and pictures. Coco loved the walks and extra attention. Definitely will be using Shelly for all our future boarding needs.”
“Brittany and family take such wonderful care of Rose! I really appreciate frequent photos of the dogs playing together and comments about how well Rose is doing. Rose returns home a totally happy and relaxed dog. Best dog sitter I’ve ever had!!”
“I was so happy to find Evelyn. Such a nice person. It was a plus that she works out of her home. Leroy has separation anxiety, so having someone to hangout with during the day, instead of being put in a kennel, meant so much to me. Evelyn was so good about sending me photos. Leroy definitely has a new place to hangout now when I’m gone!! Thank you so much, Evelyn! From Lee Ann and Leroy!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Addie during her stay. Your daily updates and pics are greatly appreciated, and your thoughtful, compassionate care truly makes her feel right at home. We appreciate your great communication and will definitely be booking with you again. Mary Ann A”
“Ashley was amazing and took such great care of our Izzy🐶 while we were out of town; she sent us updates, pictures and videos and Izzy🐶 had such fun with her. She took her for walks and spent a lot of time with her and we really appreciated it!”
“We left our huskies with Lisa and it was the best experience for us as well as our fur babies! She made the whole process seamless, anxiety free and enjoyable! Her calm demeanor, extreme patience and true love for dogs is what will make us go to her over and over again! Thank you Lisa!”
“Our dogs had a great time and she was great about keeping us updated. We’ve never left our dogs at a strangers house before so we were nervous but felt like they were safe and happy the entire time. We’d definitely bring them back again!”
“Taylor was amazing! Exceeded expectations! She’s very professional and knowledgeable. Taylor took the time to get to know my pet and made sure my pet was comfortable in her home. I received daily picture updates. I will definitely reach out for Taylor’s services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardner
Natalia was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was so quick to respond and helped me through my process of using Rover for the first time. She is so sweet and made sure I was at ease by sending pictures. Will definitely be interested in using her again in the future!
What a great first experience with Rover! When searching for a good fit I of course went to reviews and Sarah’s were all 5 Stars and I now know why. Sarah and her family took in our Labradoodle like she was part of the family. That’s all we could’ve asked for. She sent pictures and didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure Harper always felt comfortable in her new surroundings. We will definitely be using Sarah again!

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.
96% of sitters in Gardner 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 Gardner 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 Gardner.
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 Gardner. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Gardner 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 KS 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.
