“Our shy dog, Chance, had a wonderful stay with Kimmie and her dogs! She was patient and loving with him. He enjoyed the time with her dogs, too! It was fun and reassuring to receive information and pics of him throughout his stay. Next time I need to leave him, I’ll definitely choose Kimmie again!”
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”
“Awesome sitter!! Morgan and family were wonderful and tended to our poodle pup as one of their own furry family members!! She helped out by extending Alfies visit a few hours!! Thank you so much! We hope to have Alf “visit” again!!! 🤗”
“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
“Great communication and care by Veronica. She sent pictures throughout my dog’s stay. Seems like my dog had more fun there than at home! Would recommend Veronica to anyone!”
“Our Frenchie Iceman had a blast! Although a short visit ReShan went above and beyond to make him feel at home and even fit in his walks! ReShan has so much experience and puts so much love, detail and care into every aspect of making sure your experience is one to remember! Additionally he offers pick up and drop off which was so very convenient! His service is truly too tier.”
“Manuel was great. He sent pictures of our Bella and was quick to reply when checked in on her. We ran three hours late due to delays and traffic from our trip and Manuel was kind and accommodating.. will definitely recommend and use them again”
“We are thankful to Jennifer for taking good care of our boy while we were out of town for work. We received quick communication and good availability from Jennifer. Throughout the stay, we received picture updates and quick communication as well. At his return, our energetic pup was healthy, tired, and a happy boy! We didn't have any issues with our multiple day stay with Jennifer. She really gets to know your pet and understands their needs.”
“Megan was absolutely great! She took Juliet on a short notice and was able to work with us for pick up and drop off time. She was always communicating and sent pictures of Juliet every day. They went on walks and played toys too. Juliet really loved her and if we are ever in the area another time we would definitely choose her again!!”
“All I can say is WOW! Was visiting a friend in Fresno and needed a place for my Chihuahua to hang out overnight as the dog and my friend’s cat ate not that fond of each other. What a fortuitous find in Reza. So welcoming. He made everything so easy. He was wonderful at accommodating me at the last minute.Terrific communication—I think I got more pictures and updates on her overnight stay than I’ve gotten in an entire week-long stay elsewhere And his teenage daughter was great with her. And Reza was so understanding when I was late to pick her up. I so appreciate that as I was a little frantic about it and he reassured me it was OK. Highly recommend this wonderful, kind dog sitter. A perfect, worry free stay!”
“We (including our dachshund Monty!) absolutely loved working with Nadine and Louie. They were gentle and welcoming and took such good care of our dog moving through a period of anxiety. We're so grateful to connect with them and will be returning.”
“Tania is both flexible and great! She stepped in when a prescheduled sitter proved to be unreliable. She took great care of Tobi and sent frequent photos/updates. She communicates well and was very helpful when scheduling drop and pick up. Highly recommended!”
“Guadalupe was a lifesaver!!! I was in NYC for the holidays and completely stuck in terms of finding a sitter for Rikki, as my boyfriend works full time in Long Beach and all my friends were also gone for the season. I found Guadalupe and I was impressed by her creditals, and even more impressed by her prices. I was able to book the whole thing online from across the country! My boyfriend dropped Rikki off, and every day I got several updates as to how ridiculously happy my dog was while I was away. We're talking long walks, off-leash frolicking in (gated) parks, she even bought him a toy for Christmas! Guadalupe goes above and beyond for her clients, and outside of family- I wouldn't trust Rikki with anyone else!”
About: I have always had an incredible amount of love for animals. I grew up on a ranch and cared for a variety of animals until the age of 7yrs. I have 20+ years experience loving and caring for animals. I specialize in dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I've been a trusted pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I communicate daily with updates, concerns and photos if requested. I want to make things comfortable and stress-free for both you and your fur baby. I'm currently working part-time, but can possibly move my schedule around if I'm given notice in advance. I'll therefore have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby and give them care and attention they need without worries. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. I have a doggy door, so they can come and go as they please.I also have my little one that would love to play and keep your fur baby company. I have two cats that are indoor /outdoor that will stay to themselves. I can easily crate your little one if needed.
“A+ as always. Numerous updates with pictures from Farin. She alerted me to a rash that was developing on one of my dogs as well that I will be taking care tomorrow. Highly Recommended!”
“Thank you Carola, We are very satisfied with the care we received for hunter. Carola keep us updated with lots of pictures of all the activities they done throughout the stay. She went all out and even shower and brush hunters coat. She really took care of our dog and We are so thankful and definitely will book again soon. Many thanks and highly recommended.”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. My life has been shaped by the companionship of dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Dalmatians, and I treat every guest with the same deep respect and affection I give my own. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision inside the house with me. I pride myself on being highly responsible and will strictly abide by any specific rules or medical considerations you have for your pet. I share my home with two calm, small breed Yorkies: Roxy, my 16 year old senior lady who loves to nap, and Dalton, my 8 year old boy who is a "chill" social butterfly. Dalton gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys a gentle play session. * The Environment: My home is a quiet, low stress "zen" space perfect for dogs who prefer a relaxed atmosphere. * The Yard: I have a large, fully enclosed backyard with a pool. For safety, I never allow dogs outside unsupervised. * Safety First: Because I work from home, your dog will spend their day indoors with me, ensuring they stay cool and comfortable. Services & Specialized Care * Senior Care: I have a soft spot for seniors! I am very comfortable administering oral medications. Please note: I do not offer injectable medications. * Active Care: I love taking pups for walks to break up the day and ensure they get the exact level of affection and playtime they crave. For senior pups that cannot walk long distance, I have a pet stroller for pets 20lbs and below to ensure they don’t miss out on outdoor fun. I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby behind while traveling or working. My goal is to provide you with total peace of mind, knowing your pet is in a peaceful, loving, and safe environment where their unique personality is respected. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work from home Tuesday - Friday, however I can be flexible with drop in visits. Saturday - Mondays I have open so long as I am in town. The sooner I know the better I can plan. I have a fenced in yard and live in a beautiful neighborhood to take your pup out for walks. For senior pups I have a dog stroller to ensure they don’t miss out on getting some fresh air. Pups have free rein in my office and living room to ensure they are comfy during all weather seasons. I can also create your pup if that is yours or your pups preference.
“Wonderful sitter. My dogs love her and we trust her with our fur babies. She sends photos and takes them on walks and just treats them so great. I go to her whenever we need a sitter, for short stays and also for weeks or months at a time. I recommend her highly.”
About: I grew up in a household full of pets. I know how to train dogs basic commands like Sit, Down, Paw, Look, Speak. Now that I’m an adult and have my own furbabies, I understand how much you want to make sure they are well taken cared of when you’re away. I work active duty military and my schedule is 7am-3pm. I am usually free on weekends for drop-in visits and/or daycare for your furbabies. Just require a week notice! I have a fenced and big backyard for the doggos to run around. I’m pretty good at introducing my dogs to visitors and I’m also pretty easy to work with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 362 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hardwick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Hardwick 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 Hardwick 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 Hardwick.
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 Hardwick. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Hardwick 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 CA 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.
