So glad to meet them and will most definitely be bringing Auggie back to see his new friends whenever we need a sitter in kirksville”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirksville
My mind was so at ease and I enjoyed my little trip out of town, knowing that my fur babies were well taken care of can’t say enough about how they were taken care of. I’ll definitely keep them in mind when I need to go out of town again pictures were sent to me continuously an updates on how they were doing every day. They’re the best.
My dog, Dolce, is a small senior poodle (about 9 pounds). Because I had to travel internationally, I left her with Regina for about five weeks, and I can honestly say it was the best possible decision I could have made for her. My biggest concern at first was that Regina has two large standard poodles. When we first visited, they were understandably excited, and my tiny, elderly poodle looked like she was thinking, “I did not sign up for this.” I was worried. However, Regina and Cathy went above and beyond to make sure Dolce always felt safe and protected. They carefully managed space when needed and never pushed her beyond her comfort level. Over time, I started seeing something I never expected, Dolce calmly walking with the big dogs, relaxing on the couch with them, and clearly feeling at home. Anyone who knows Dolce knows that she is not very social and takes her time warming up to new situations, so I truly appreciate how patient and attentive Regina and Cathy were. It was obvious how much effort and care they put into understanding her and meeting her needs. While I was overseas for an extended period, Regina and Cathy sent me daily photos and videos (which quickly became the highlight of my day), and we even did Zoom video chats. Being away from Dolce was emotionally hard, but thanks to them, I was able to travel and work with complete peace of mind, knowing she was safe, loved, and probably being spoiled. I am incredibly grateful to Regina and Cathy and would not hesitate to trust them again. Highly, highly recommended!

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 Kirksville 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 Kirksville.
<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 Kirksville 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.
