“Yodi enjoyed his stay with Heather. She took him on short notice during Labor Day weekend. She was very accommodating and carried out my instructions for his care. I enjoyed her daily updates and photos. We will definitely return.”
“Audree was an amazing sitter. This is my second time using her and I will continue to use her. She communicates and sends updates. My furbaby was so excited to see her. It puts my mind at ease knowing he is well taken care of while I’m away. Thank you Audree for your great care once again v”
“Wonderful!! This was my dog’s first time here and he loved it. I received pictures throughout his stay and could tell he was well taken care of. The communication and care were excellent. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Really appreciate Rebeca helping dog sit our sweet boy, Bailey with very little notice! She was very communicative throughout the whole process and while we were out of town which I very much appreciated. Love that she has a big fenced in backyard space too. Will definitely keep her in mind for our next dog sitting needs!”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“This was Caesar's second visit and I must say that's I'm very pleased with the level of care that was provided for our fur baby. I'm a little protective over Caesar but he is comfortable with Amber & family and it brings me alot of comfort and peace. Thank you for what you do!”
“I am sorry Laurie that I am so late, with this review. Laurie is such a sweet woman. She took such good care of my Lyric. I have only used one pet sitter to keep Lyric since she was 3 months old and I was nervous about taking her to anyone else. Well Laurie treated Lyric like one of her own and Lyric was enjoying herself the entire time. Laurie kept me posted the entire visit with pics, texts and videos. Thank you Laurie for being such a kind soul.”
“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”
“We had such a great experience! Eldeen & family took amazing care of our yorkie, Kash, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped him off, Kash felt right at home. She treated him like one of her own and kept us updated the entire time and also sent us pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and Kash absolutely enjoyed his time there. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Julie did a wonderful job caring for my Marli! She provided updates and photos while I was on my trip. I could tell that Marli really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in Julie's large yard as she came home very tired. I plan to use Julie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her services!”
“Kay and Marc were fantastic! They took excellent care of my two dogs and treated them like family. Kay updated me every day and sent pictures. I will continue to use Marc and Kay every time I’m away. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Kay and Marc!”
“Jamie did a great job watching Henry! She kept me informed and sent pictures daily. Her dog was extremely friendly and accepted Henry immediately. I know Henry had a great time because he slept the entire day we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone and would book with her again if we need a sitter.”
“We love Traci! She’s become our go-to for boarding while we’re away. You can expect reliable and detailed communication with photos throughout your pups whole stay. We highly recommend her”
“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”
“Joanna was so loving with my dog and greeted her with so much affection. I felt completely at ease while I was out for the day, knowing that she was being cared for by Joanna. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Joplin home-away-from-home, 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 Joplin.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Joplin 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 , 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 .
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 VA 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.
