“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! ❤️🐾”
“Ashlee and her husband Jay were very nice. They understood our dog’s triggers especially over the Fourth of July weekend. They cared for him and were very accommodating and loving toward him.”
“Amanda and Rae, along with their entire family, did a great job with my puppy! It was a smooth process and she had the best time. The pictures and communication I got throughout the stay was wonderful :)”
“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.”
“Sydni is absolutely amazing! We recently went on vacation and boarded our dog with her, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she provided. From the moment we dropped him off, she treated him like her own, giving him so much attention, cuddles, and playtime. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and genuine, but Sydni truly goes above and beyond. Our dog came home relaxed, healthy, and full of joy, clearly having had a wonderful time with her. I would recommend Sydni to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive to their pets. We will definitely be coming back to her for any future boarding or pet-sitting needs!”
“Maria was AMAZING. She was super flexible and accommodating for our corgi and golden retriever. She sent photos and updates every day, and just loved them as her own. We felt so relieved and happy to leave them in her care. 100/10 recommend!”
“If I could give more stars I would I absolutely love having Brittany watch my dog Bailey. She had a blast she sent me pictures every day letting me know what she’s up to how she’s doing. You couldn’t ask for a better person to watch your fur balls. What a great person great experience. Thank you so much! I will definitely be booking with Brittany every time I need someone.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful with Doja! She treated her like she was her own and really made her feel like part of the family. Doja is still young and VERY energetic, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving her, but Mariah was amazing with her. She had nothing but good things to say about Doja and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. It was obvious that Doja was happy, loved, and spoiled while she was there. I will definitely be booking with Mariah every time we need someone to watch Doja. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Dara is really sweet person. She took care of Simba very well, Simba loved her dogs and he had a great play time when he was boarding at Dara’s. She was very active in sending daily updates about Simba. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Katarina was awesome with Prince! I know he felt safe and at home. He definitely enjoyed his stay, she sent updates and pictures, and it was really helpful for her to puppy sit Prince. Would definitely recommend her and take Prince to her if needed again!”
“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!”
“Alexis also has an Australian Cattle Dog and knew how mine would be, sent me updates and really put my mind at ease knowing that my dog is being well taken care of while I was out state for the weekend!”
“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!!!”
About: There’s nothing better than coming home to a happy dog and a wagging tail! As a longtime dog mom myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention when you can’t be there. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for their pets. I offer drop-in visits, walks, daytime pet sitting, and overnight stays in your home or mine. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies who are still working on potty training and routines to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, medication, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, a game of fetch or tug-of-war, some backyard playtime, meals and fresh water, or simply some company and plenty of cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention they’re used to while you’re gone. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing yours is being cared for like I’d want someone to care for my own. I am self employed and work from home most days so I have plenty of time for snuggles and walks! On days that I do leave home for appointments, I am usually not gone for long and if running errands, I can take pets with for a car ride! I have access to a private fenced dog run area perfect for getting some time to play off leash. We also live downtown so there is no shortage of places to walk and explore. If your pet is more of a couch potato, we can lounge and relax inside!
“Grace was wonderful and such a kind person. Her warm and welcoming demeanor put both my doggie and me at ease instantly. She communicated clearly and consistently, which gave me great peace of mind knowing Duke was in such capable hands. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I’m so grateful to have found someone to give love to Duke while I was away. Highly recommended!”
About: My family's dogs - who I've learn all my dog care from - could not be more different, they have an easily excitable husky and an extremely anxious german shepherd. I have to be very flexible with the two, especially on walks. This challenge has made me very attentive in how I handle dogs. I am currently looking for any kind of work I can get, so after putting a couple hours in job searching, all I have is time to give. I have a two story apartment with two cats. they have their own rooms - mine and my roommate's respectively - where they may hide if they do not want to interact with a dog. Our complex's yard is relatively spacious for Lincoln, but we do not have a fence.
“Kenna was an amazing sitter! I had my dog, Taco, stay with Kenna and her lovely family overnight. She was very responsive, communicative and responsible. She asked good questions and was very punctual. Would definitely recommend Kenna!”

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.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Henderson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
