“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“I don’t ever need to look for another sitter again after finding Tiffiny and her family. She was amazing for the entire time my boy stayed with her. She was above and beyond and always made sure I was up to date and had pictures and videos everyday. Book with her if you care about your pets safety because they will be taken very great care of.”
“Elisabeth took fantastic care of our pup and was able to accomodate us on short notice. She communicated well and sent us lots of pictures and updates of our dog which were much appreciated!”
“Misty was the first person I left my pup with outside of my family and I was so nervous! Misty was so kind and sent me updates and pictures, which was a huge relief. Penelope will definitely be back!”
“I highly recommend Beth! Had to go on a family vacation to Florida and leave my dog, Gary, for over 5 days for the first time ever. Beth was very accommodating and Gary had a blast! Will definitely use her again when I need to. 5/5.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“Grant and his wife were fantastic! Daisy immediately was happy to be in their space and meet their sweet dog, Tuff. They provided us picture/video updates and were flexible with an earlier drop off time than originally planned on. Upon picking Daisy up we could see how well they cared for and loved her. (: We will absolutely use Grant again in the future!!”
“Ursula is wonderful! She’s super communicative and paid so much attention to what our dogs needed to feel comfortable in her home with her sweet dog. We are so grateful she took such great care of Polly and Benji!”
“Stephanie is fantastic! She went above and beyond to make the entire dog sitting process easy, reassuring and comfortable for us - from coming to our home for a meet and greet to being extra communicative and flexible to even dropping our dogs off at our house after our long day of travel! She is so sweet and clearly loves dogs. Our pups were upset when she left, so we know they had a great experience too. She is a responsible, trustworthy dog sitter and person. And lastly, her home is super clean, very unlike some of the in-home kennel situations we’ve experienced with Rover sitters. We will be using her again. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Myndee and family were great with our older dog. Lovely updates to keep us connected. Super understanding when we had a delayed return They are our Go To family for doggie boarding.”
“Best experience ever!! Reema was so sweet and took great care of our Maverick over the holidays. She kept in touch and sent photos daily. We would highly recommend her!”
“Greg and family took care of Raven for 10 days while we were visiting our son's family in North Carolina. Everything went very well it seems and we are so pleased with the care and compassion that Greg and team put into their care for Raven. We received a picture each day which helped ease our sense of missing her. This is just the perfect place for her. We've already scheduled two more doggie day care sessions and truly appreciate working with them. Can't praise them enough as Raven is not the easiest dog to take care of.”
“I’m so thankful that I found Lynn & her husband to care for my little doggie while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to meet with me and Latte ahead of his stay. Lynn introduced her sweet doggies, Nellie & Bentley, to him and then spent about an hour letting the pups mingle as we talked about Latte. Lynn was very responsive to communication, she was flexible and kept me updated daily with texts & pictures of Latte. He was treated like a member of their family… well loved & cared for. I will definitely be leaving Latte with Lynn in the future!”
“Erica is a rockstar! She is so good with my babies, especially my rambunctious 5 month old lab puppy. She's very responsive to requests and sends tons of updates and photos. My mind is completely at ease when she has my babies!”
“Julie provided great care to my little fur baby!! She sent me photos and keep me updated and asked questions when needed. She went above and beyond in his care. We will definitely use her again when we are in need of a dog sitter . ❤️”

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.
93% of sitters in Hemker 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 Hemker 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 Hemker.
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 Hemker. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Hemker 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 MO 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.
