âZuri I know had a relaxing stay with Candice I got pictures everyday she was very welcoming I felt at ease leaving Zuri with her I would definitely recommend her !!!â
âWe cannot say enough about what awesome dog sitters Mark and Kayleigh are! They were so kind, communicative, and caring! They sent regular pictures and updates and really made us feel comfortable about leaving our 11 year old shepherd mix with them. We will be booking with them for as long as we can!â
âEdgar was awesome!! Day was right at home as soon as he got there. He loved having a friend to play with during his stay. We received great updates with pics. Perk for me is heâs right around the corner. Iâll absolutely be using him again.â
âI can't say enough good things about Susan! She took good care of my GSD Ace for 25 nights while my family was on a long vacation and we were completely at ease the entire time. She was very responsible, communicative and clearly cared for my dog. I received regular updates, photos and videos which made being apart so much easier. Ace was happy, healthy and loved when I returned. Thanks a lot Susan!â
âStevie absolutely LOVES staying with Robyn. We also greatly appreciate her communication while Stevie is with her. It is evident Stevie is treated like family when she stays! Thank you Robyn!!!â
About: Iâve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques. And enjoy taking dogs for long walks to get their energy out. I live five minutes from my job and can come home if needed and never work weekends. My wife works from home 3 out of 5 week days. I have a large fenced in yard (.75 acres) and a dog friendly golden retriever named Steve. I have an extra crate available if your pet needs crating.
âTotiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!â
About: I havenât taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they donât have much time to miss their parents đ). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.
âThis was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.â
About: Iâm a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter / Dog owner who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, loved, and cared for. Iâm comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, bathing, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Iâm also patient with shy or nervous pets and always treat your home and your pets with respect. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and attentive to the little details. My goal is to give your pets loving, reliable care and give you peace of mind while youâre away.đžâ¤ď¸
âLynda was great she took wonderful care of Sophie during her stay. She kept me well informed with pics and texts during my vacay. I will definitely rebook with her for my next vacation.â
âWe had to board our Remy for the weekend, a last minute trip, and thankfully found Birol! He was available and his profile - his love for dogs/animals - is what sold us. He sends video & photo updates. I was worried that our dog may be a little too energetic, but B reassured us that he could handle it and he did. When our Remy came back home, he kept laying in front of the door - he misses his buddy B! I canât thank him enough for taking care of our Rem. Iâm bummed I didnât find him sooner! Definitely will be re-booking.â
About: I work in a veterinary hospital as a kennel technician, where I care for animals daily by feeding, cleaning, exercising, monitoring behavior, and ensuring their comfort and safety under professional supervision. Iâm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 12. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, bring your own if you have a big dog if not the case I have small ones.
âJustin & Stephanie took great care of my kitten and sent me regular photo updates! I also appreciate that they were flexible about drop-off time for my almost last minute reservation. I would choose them again when needed.â
About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody elseâs I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time. Iâm currently a stay at home mom so if I leave the house, I only leave to go to the grocery store or to grab the little one something to eat if they want it I have a huge backyard my house backs up against the woods. We are not close to the road at all. Youâre dog would never be let outside alone my kids would run around in the backyard with them đ
âAndres did a great job with our two 1 year old dogs. Both came home happy as Andres has plenty of room for them to run around and play. It's our first Rover experience and we were both relieved to find a sitter with plenty of experience. I would recommend Andres.â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkwood
Jen allowed me to have the first worry/guilt free vacation since owning my pets. I usually have severe anxiety and paranoia when Iâm separated from them making it almost not worth it to even leave. I havenât had to wonder how they are or ask for updates/pics, etc.. She is extremely accommodating and focused on them. I couldnât appreciate her more, and will literally schedule anytime away to coincide with her availability. I will not board with anyone else ever!
We cannot say enough about what awesome dog sitters Mark and Kayleigh are! They were so kind, communicative, and caring! They sent regular pictures and updates and really made us feel comfortable about leaving our 11 year old shepherd mix with them. We will be booking with them for as long as we can!
No words for how awesome it was to go on a 10 day overseas vacation and feel confident my baby girl was being taken care of, loved on, and entertained throughout. Barb sent me daily photos and updates about the daily activities from playing with her pups to new friends, even her silly, sassy "I'm not going in the rain" stubbornness. Lol. She went above and beyond with the communication and even catered to me to keep my nerves down with her picky eating and needing her flea and tick medication while I was away. Anyway, my boyfriend and I were very happy with the level of care Hope received and look forward to future days of daycare, and overnight stays. I'd highly recommend using Barb for your fur baby.
Selena was amazing with my 1 yr old Beagle, Nyx! She was very thoughtful, responsible, and really took the time to follow my instructions and care for Nyx as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. What impressed me the most was how much time and effort she put into keeping Nyx active and happy. She took Nyx out almost every day despite the summer heat, and even brought her to dog parks regularly. Honestly, I was a little embarrassed because I think Nyx spent more time outside and going on adventures with Selena than she usually does with me đ. The updates were great, and it was obvious that Nyx was having a fantastic time. I felt completely at ease while I was away. Iâd absolutely book with Selena again, and if I ever need boarding in the future, Iâll definitely be a returning customer and recommend her to everyone who needs services!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Kirkwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Kirkwood 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 Kirkwood.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Kirkwood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Kirkwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in DE 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
