About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.

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.
94% of sitters in Handy Corner 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 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.
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 Handy Corner. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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.
