“Samantha was amazing with Nala! She watched her for us this weekend and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nala was being well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again soon! ❤️🐾”
“I appreciated to meet and greet prior to leaving Sasha with Ashlee. Ashlee was prepared for our arrival and ready when I returned earlier than expected. Sasha was relaxed when I picked her up, not anxious. Thank you for taking good care of my girl!!”
“Amanda and Ray were so kind and welcoming! They took such good care of Kobi and I could tell he had a good time! Their kids were also very loving towards Kobi! I will definitely be booking again in the future and recommend them to anybody!”
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“Mami and Bella are two very needy girls who want cuddles and playtime nonstop, and Meghann and her boyfriend handled that perfectly. They even let the girls sleep in bed with them, which meant so much to us because that’s how they sleep at home. She was on top of everything, their daily supplements, medicine twice a day, even charging their collars whenever I got the low battery alert. I had to order food for them in the middle of their stay. Meghann always let me know exactly when she’d be home so the delivery lined up. Super responsive, flexible, and our girls came home acting like they’d been on vacation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pups while you’re gone and them feel like they’re at home, look no further and hire Meghann, she’s the best and really put our nerves and anxiety at ease knowing the girls were in good hands.”
About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. I’m lucky to live near several parks—including a dog park—so pups will get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. My schedule also allows me to stop by during lunch breaks, which helps keep pets on their normal routine. Walking is also one of my favorite pastimes so your pet can expect lots of those :) I currently have a couple of cats of my own who are comfortable around other animals for overnight stays. I know how much I miss my kitties when I’m out, so you can expect pictures and updates throughout the days. I aim to provide dependable, attentive care just like I’d hope for my own. Am no stranger to medical needs as well and am comfortable providing medicines as needed Weekends I am completely available to stop by in your home or I offer overnight stays at my home. I have a roommate whose schedule is available during the day so overnight stays can be offered during the week as well. I work a typical 9-5 throughout the week but am available before, during lunch or afterwards in the evenings during the week for stop ins depending on location I have a large backyard and localized access to multiple dog parks and trails. I own two kitties myself that are comfortable around both dogs and cats.
“Brittany did a great job of caring for our pup. She explained everything ahead of time. She kept me updated and sent pics regularly. I would trust her with our dog anytime.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond to take care of my pup. He was unfortunately injured prior to his stay and she was willing to give him the extra care & attention he needed to include a trip to the vet! Highly recommend trusting Jennifer with your fur babes!”
About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I’m currently available full-time to do either visits or house sit. Watching your fur babies bring some excitement into my daily routine and give them the care they need. I am able to sit at the client’s house-or overnight stays at this time. I am able to have pets in my house as long as they get along with cats as I have two of them.
“Marnela did amazing watching Ace. I ended up needing to extend Ace’s stay due to a power outage and she was extremely flexible and understanding. She provided tons of updates and photos, throughout the stay. Ace is normally an anxious dog, but it looks like he was able to enjoy his stay. 10/10, I would recommend Marnela!”
“Bosun loves to stay with Nina! She is so attentive to him and informs us on a regular basis of their time together. She treats Bosun as if he is her own baby boy dog! We couldn’t be happier with the care he gets. Thank you Nina!”
“So glad we found Beth. Her and her husband took such great care of our Cici! I could tell she was very comfortable with them when I picked her up, she was so relaxed! And it was so nice to see the pics and updates she sent periodically. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
“Grace was great. She provided regular updates and took him to the dog park and it seemed like he had a great weekend with an awesome sitter. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Jordan was great!!! She sent us frequent updates and was willing to give extra support to our “high maintenance“ pooch. We would recommend Jordan and would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Jordan.”

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 Henderson 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 Henderson 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 Henderson.
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.

You and your Henderson 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 IA 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.
