“This was Muffin’s first time staying away from us and he had a great time. He made new friends with their dogs and had fun. Will definitely use their service again.”
“Rugby had a great stay with Cam! He really loves other dogs and he had a chance to play with her dog and another dog. As it turned out my son broke his leg while we were away and it was very reassuring during that difficult time to know that Rugby was getting excellent care. Thank you again Cam!”
“Chris and Tommie were great. Drop off and pick up were so easy. We got videos and photos daily of Luna. She had a great time playing with the other dogs in their huge backyard.”
“Gage was great. I felt confident that Gage would take care of 75 pound Puppy as if it was his own. He sent me photos, video and narrative to let me know that my Giant Schnauzer was happy. He even played fetch with him which he truly loves. (Good exercise for him as well). This was my first time using ROVER, so I was little worried, but it was good. I’d would recommend Gage and I’d reserve him again.”
“Sabnam kept my 2 dogs for a week, and she sent me text with pictures regularly. She and her son walked them often and care for them like their own dog.i can tell my dogs are being spoiled there. She has a a very good size and safe house to accommodate my dogs need. I will recommend her to anyone in need of service and i will let my dogs stay there again.”
“I could not have asked for a better set of sitters: like Todd and Gail. My heart is overwhelmed that they give Sasha such love when she’s in their care. Thank you so much for all that you do. The Lacy’s❤️”
“Derek is hands down the best sitter for my Beagle - Herman who is not usually able to handle new circumstances ! Derek was awesome sent pictures. Kept me updated while I was away. I have used his service twice and for sure will use Derek in the future .”
“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!!!”
“We had an amazing experience leaving our two small dogs with Anita for a week while we were away! She is a great communicator and takes such great care of her pups (both her own and guests)!”
“I left my dog with them for 3days. I was very nervous about leaving her but they put my mind at ease. They sent pictures & videos . I would definetly use them again!”
“Megan is OUTSTANDING! It was our first time using a pet sitter and she set the bar so high. Communication and photos and videos put us at ease and I’m pretty sure my dog didn’t want to leave her 🤣”
“MK was wonderful from start to finish! She communicated so well with us, which built trust right away and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were very well taken care of, and I just know they loved all the attention and care they received. We would absolutely recommend MK and will not hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again! ❤️”
“This is our second time boarding our dog with Sylvia. She is very kind and loving to our pup. She sent us tons of pictures and many of him snuggled up to her showing how comfortable he was. Would definitely recommend.”
“Had the best experience for my first time using Rover! Could not have asked for a better match for me and my fur children. Melissa sent pics and videos to keep me updated which I appreciated. I do think my dogs are ready to go back and see her and her pups already!!! I will definitely be rebooking with them again soon!”
“Janet did an awesome job caring for my 9 year old beagle for almost three weeks while I traveled. She sent me updates with pictures throughout the time period. She took her to grooming and dealt with giving her meds and her special needs. I would highly recommend her to others in need of a pet sitter.”
“Chryschel is/ was amazing , she sent plenty of pics and videos of my Archie and he loved her. She was so good to him and he usually does like strangers but, he was so happy and comfortable with her, I will definitely book with her again.”
“Madison was amazing. She made time before booking to meet Harper and during her stay she constantly kept me updated including photos. Madison and her whole family were so loving and caring with Harper. I immediately booked again for the next stay. If you are looking for a good and safe place for your pet while you're away, I would highly recommend Madison!”

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 Handy Corner 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 Handy Corner.
<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 Handy Corner 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.
