“Wow!!! First time to try Rover, and Happy Goodman’s stay with Kay was the best experience we’ve ever had on vacation. Daily photos/updates were so very appreciated and helped us relax and quit our usual worrying about how he was doing. He was happy when we picked him up, and even went back to tell Kay goodbye before loading into the car — so sweet! He was very well cared-for, and it was obvious he had a wonderful time.”
“Emily was so wonderful with our Apollo. So thankful for the pictures and updates. We could tell Apollo loved being with her. She was very quick to communicate and respond. Gracious with our travels being a little behind schedule. My son thanks you for your service while he is servicing our country with the US Army. We will prefer Emily every time with our Apollo.”
“Magdalena is great! I highly recommend. Communication and pictures throughout my pups stay helped me feel more comfortable. And when I dropped my dog off the second time she was SO excited to see Magdalena :)”
“Courtney and Keith were amazing and flexible. They were very accommodating and allowed me to drop my dog late night due to travel. They took care of Scooby very well and shared pictures everyday.”
“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”
“She and her family were absolutely awesome with my doggos! Carissa has a great understanding of training to help be consistent with what you are doing at home. She is also great at looking for behaviors and is careful with introductions. 🤗 10/10, will book again, no notes.”
“Casey was AWESOME! Dabo had the best days. He was really well taken care of - he stayed active and met a couple of new buddies. Casey took tons of pics of Dabo and made me feel comfortable the whole time we were away”
“Great sitters who definitely gave my dog a wonderful time and caring home to stay at. Whole family was giving mine plenty of attention and would happily use them again next time.”

“Stephanie (and her family) were excellent with Ava. She sent many pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. From the looks of it, Ava was happy to be on a little vacation. I am doing weekly day care visits, with Stephanie, to get Ava more social! Thank you for your help Stephanie!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 282 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gateway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% of sitters in Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway.
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 Gateway 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 AR 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.
