“Justin was the best! My dog has severe separation anxiety and Justin made sure he was well monitored and accommodating to his special needs. He was even accommodating our delayed flights. I cannot recommend Justin enough and will be sure to use him again in the future.”

“We left our dog and cat for about 4 days for a vacation out of town, and when we got back, they seemed to miss the sitter more than they missed us. 5 Stars! We received daily updates about their care along with photos of our babies. Ashley was wonderful caring for them, giving us peace of mind while we enjoyed our vacation. We are already considering booking again for our next trip!”

“I’m so glad we booked Fritz’s first boarding with Larysa. Since he’s still young, we were nervous about leaving him, even for a day, but Larysa made the experience great for him and us. We had to book a last minute boarding, but she was super accommodating and kind about it. She kept us updated with photos the whole time, and we could see Fritz was really being loved and cared for. By the time we picked him up, he was super comfortable there and seemed to absolutely love Larysa’s sweet older dog, Carter! We have another trip coming up soon, and we will definitely be booking with Larysa again. Highly recommend you book with Larysa for boarding with your doggies!”

About: Hi! I am Bethani! I have seven years of experience as a professional pet groomer, and two years of experience as a pet sitter. I am at CPR and first aid certified. I have 4 pups and 1 cat of my own, with ages ranging from 6 months to 9 years, so I am comfortable with any age! I know the daily Tasks and care that come with caring for a senior pup. I currently participate in FastCat, Barn hunt, confirmation, and grooming competitions with some of my pups. I love traveling and keeping happy with my dogs! I am comfortable taking care of any size dog or cat 😊 I do also have experience in caring for a small animals, animals and reptiles I am a professional pet groomer, so I get to spend my entire day with wonderful dogs! I would love to spend time with your fur kiddos while you are away. I work a full time 8hr job (not Rover) Monday-Thursday, however I’m still happy to watch pups during these days. I am currently able to offer boarding in my home for dogs that are comfortable around both dogs and cats. When I visit your home I will be clean and tidy and clean up any messes that are needed

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 SD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
