“I had a wonderful experience! Her place was amazing, and I truly think my dog enjoyed her stay. She was kind, professional, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place to leave their pet!”
“10/10 would recommend! Victoria took care of a new dog of ours on short notice, twice. I received many pictures and updates. I have full confidence my pup was treated as one of her own! Also, her dogs played well with her and I received many pictures of them all snuggled up.”
“Marisa is so sweet and kind. When we did the meet in greet and met her puppy Finnegan and how my dog Abigail got along with I knew I had the right person for the right job. Marissa was very supportive of my issues because I was having surgery done to replace my hip. Again a very kind person.”
“What a fantastic family!!! I am so grateful we found Brittnee to care for our babies at the last minute. They were so well taken care of and I can’t thank her enough ❤️ It made our trip so relaxed knowing my babies were having a great time themselves. Thank you!!!!”
“If you need a trusted sitter for your dog, I highly recommend using Lauren! I was visiting the Northshore from out of town and had never left my dog Hank with someone through Rover, so I was really nervous. Lauren and her partner made me feel so comfortable right away and were amazing about communicating throughout his stay. They sent lots of pictures and updates, were super responsive, and it was clear Hank was happy and having a great time playing with their dogs. They treated him like he was their own, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I’ve already rebooked them for my next trip in a few months!”
“We were so blessed to find Joyce to care for our little Joey. She took him at late notice and provided wonderful, loving care for him. Joyce sent updates and photos to reassure us too. I can’t recommend her highly enough and we’ll definitely take our little guy back!”
About: Hi! I’m a loving and dependable dog person with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups with all kinds of personalities and needs. 🐶❤️ I have experience caring for dogs with allergies and special care needs, giving dog baths, and keeping up with hyperactive, high-energy dogs who need lots of attention, playtime, and patience. I’ve also spent plenty of time around Labradors, so I understand just how energetic, loving, and sometimes mischievous they can be! I’m also a proud dog owner myself and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pets’ comfort and safety are always my top priority. 💕🐕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but my fiancé is home at times throughout the day and can let the dogs out when needed. We also have two dogs of our own, so we understand how important it is to make sure your pup is comfortable, cared for, and never left without attention for too long. We’ll treat your dog like one of our own and make sure they get the care, love, and potty breaks they need while you’re away! ❤️🐶 We love on the back of family property so there is ample amount of space to run around and play. However we do also have a fenced in yard for the one who like to explore!
“From start to finish Crystal was amazing. She kept me updated on our girl daily. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our girl was given such great care. Would highly recommend and will be using her going forward.”
“Alex and Kole literally have two of the best hearts. The way they cared for our Ziggy and the communication alone deserves 10000 stars! We definitely will be bringing him back! He definitely enjoyed his stay with them and their family.”
“She was wonderful! This was my first time using the app and first time leaving my puppy with someone other than family. She answered all my questions and kept me updated every day. I will definitely use her again!”
“Kimberly helped us last minute when our regular boarder, as well as two backups fell through. She responded to my request very quickly and she was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates everyday, which we really appreciated! She handled all of our senior dogs' medications and was very considerate of their needs. We know our girls were well taken care of and would be happy to have them board with Kimberly again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life! They are treated like children! I always have treats on hand :) I am the one everyone calls when they have questions about their animals! I am very knowledgeable when it comes to animals! I would love to watch your animals and let them come over and play! I am a teacher, and have two young boys. My 4 year old will give your pet all the exercise and playtime! I do have cameras inside so I can watch throughout the day also! Other than being at school, I am always home! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your dogs company! We also have a large empty lot next to us that the dogs could run around and play in!
“I wish there were more than 5 stars to give this young lady. She constantly sent pictures and let me know what they were up to and how she was doing. She spoiled Fergie and was so sweet to her and she came back refreshed and clean. Thanks so much for an amazing experience. I highly recommend boarding with her.”
About: I have been around many different kinds of animals. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to take care of the animals with my who heart and soul. I work full time now from 8-5 M-F. Weekends I’m available and work close to home. I’m apart of the army national guard so some weekends I will not be available. Within my clients home their animals will be given the best belly rubs and pets I can give. I will do everything with the best of my ability.
About: I have owned dozens of dogs and cats and keep a clean facility. I’m easy to work with and will take hood care of your pet. I am semi retired. Work at Tic Toc Cafe a few nights a week. I have a daily routine of feeding and walking my pets. I keep them in their own orivate room when i can and walk ghem in my fenced in back yard. I feed them and water them twice a day.
About: I’ve grown up around multiple pets my whole life and truly love being around animals. Some people even call me the “pet whisperer” because I’m very patient and naturally connect well with pets. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making animals feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I’m also good with shy, picky, sick, senior, or stubborn pets and understand that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I work from home most of the week and off on the weekends which gives me plenty of time for pet care in my weekly routine. If I will be pet sitting, I will be in your home- keeping things clean & respectful of your things, while providing safety and comfort to your pets. If you are having your pet stay with me, they will have plenty of cuddles, treats, and kisses! While also being in a clean environment and having a large fenced in yard to sniff around and run in.

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.
95% of sitters in Hammond 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 Hammond 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 Hammond.
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 Hammond. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Hammond 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 LA 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.
