“Had an absolutely fantastic experience with this booking. Our little dude is highly anxious around strangers, and she endeared herself to him immediately. Sent plenty of pictures and updates so we could see how happy he was staying here. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Shayla is very responsive and great to work with. She treats your dog like one of her own. She has an awesome large fenced in back yard with so much space to play. I loved all the pictures and updates she sends. Will definitely be back for more stays!”
About: I have grown up with high energy dogs. My family has always had dogs since I was a child. We treat dogs like family. We don't currently have any pets. We had two black lab mix dogs for 15 years. I will feed and let the dogs out in the morning. Dogs will be fed again in the afternoon. Dogs will be housed in the dog kennel in the garage overnight. There is a doggy door for dogs to access the backyard during the day. They will be locked inside the kennel and doghouse area in the garage overnight. I have a fenced in yard. Dogs will stay in the kennel in the garage with free access to the backyard through the doggy door during the day. The doghouse in the garage is insulated with a heat lamp during the winter. The dogs will be played with and receive attention from myself three times per day. I will take the dogs on a walk around the neighborhood once per day.
“Had an amazing experience with Amber. She took care of Milo when we just arrived in the city. My dog is very anxious but felt so comfortable around her family. I will recommend her to everyone.”
“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“This was our first time using Rover and MiKayla was great. She provided updates and pictures of our puppy while out of town for the weekend. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again the future.”
“Debra took such good care of Hank. I was so thankful to have her personalized care in her home. He usually comes home stressed after boarding and he was just fine after Debra took care of him. Just his normal happy self when he got home.”
“Mikayla was so kind when I had a family emergency and needed to leave town in a hurry. My puppy had a great time (she's told me all about it) and the family was really nice. ❤️”
“Thank you so much for being available on short notice and for all the great pictures of our pups! I am so sorry that Stevie got into the potatoes and toilet paper. I really appreciate you!!”
“My puppy had a great time with Samantha and Braden! She was excited at drop-off and happy and tired at pickup. They sent photos/updates while our dog was in their care. Kept things easy for us!”
About: I can’t get any more dogs right now, but I absolutely love animals. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always been surrounded by them, and I really miss having that in my life. I currently have two small dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs, and I have a big backyard for them to run around in. I just miss the companionship and joy that comes with being around animals every day. I work full-time, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I leave for work at 6:00 a.m., have a one-hour lunch break at noon, and I’m usually home by 4:00 p.m. Outside of work, I spend my time with my two small dogs, who are very friendly and love being around other dogs. I also have a large backyard where they can run and play. Even with my work schedule, I have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to care for and enjoy being around animals. I’d be happy to walk your dog if they enjoy going on walks, take them to the dog park for some exercise and socialization, play with them indoors or outside, and, of course, give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for, even when they’re missing their owner(s).
“Jaden did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Bella, over the Fourth of July weekend. This was my first time leaving Bella with someone I didn’t know, so I was pretty nervous. Jaden made the whole experience so much easier by sending regular photo updates and keeping me informed, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bella was well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate the care and communication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jaden again. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was so great watching our dog Buster! They were very welcoming to him. She sent me some pictures and updates about how he was doing throughout his stay which was so nice! Heather is super fast with communication and was flexible with what we needed for drop off and pick up. Overall it was a really great experience! I would definitely recommend Heather and we would absolutely have our dog stay with her family again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hartford
Super flexible with me. I screwed up on my booking and needed to book an extra day reached out to her and she was able to take the extra day so grateful. She kept me up to date with what was going on with my doggo which gave me such peace of mind since my dog likes to play escape artist sometimes. Dory seem to have a ton of fun with her family so would book her again in the future if I needed to leave Dory with a sitter!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
