“Dave and Colby were great. They sent lots of pictures and videos while our puppies were with them. Our boys are are handful. Two 8 month old puppies. We were a little concerned about leaving them with strangers. I would highly recommend them!”
“Pepper and Dolly were well care for and exhausted from all their dog play when I picked them up! Melissa communicated often and shared pictures about their activities and hijinks. She has a great enclosed front yard for play and exercise. I hope to book the dogs to stay with Melissa again soon.”
“Michelle and Robert were fantastic! Communication was very clear right from the beginning. They have a wonderful set up and took such great care of our dog while we were gone. Everything was very professional and you can tell that they really love what they do. We got daily updates and pictures, and we were so happy with the care and attention that our dog received. We will definitely be back!”
“Amy was very kind with my 13-year old dog sending me multiple pictures with details of his daily activities. I appreciated that she took him for regular walks. Amy was also timely with communications regarding drop off and pick up time changes. I will definitely use Rover again and have Amy take care of my dog in the future.”
“Colleen and her family took such great care of Chase and treated him like family. Provided updates and spoiled him in the best way. Lots of room to run and flexibility to go inside as he wished to chill. Highly recommend.”
“She and her family took great care of our Daisy! They have a nice home with a fenced yard for playtime. Daisy clearly had the time of her life, and I got at least one picture a day of her antics! Definitely will book again!”
“Carol was wonderful with our energetic 1 y/o chocolate lab. She was very quick at responding and keeping in touch. We were on a road trip with our 4 year old son, and Carol was very understanding and flexible when our arrival times shifted a bit. She was so friendly and understood dogs & their behaviors. I will definitely book her again when we are in the area. Thank you, Carol!”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
About: With over 27 years of hands on personal and professional animal care, loving pets isn’t just what I do, it's who I’ve been since getting my very first hamster at 3 years old. From dog and cat companions to farm and exotic animals, my entire life has centered around the comfort, happiness, and well being of almost every type of animal. In California, I spent 6 years managing a horse ranch, followed by 12 years managing a pet store and working closely with local dog and cat rescue organizations. Over the years, I also built a dedicated following of beloved "pup-stomers" through years of professional in home boarding and private house sitting. After relocating 4 years ago to grow our family, I am thrilled to open my schedule again to offer you the attentive, love and peace of mind they deserve while you are away. Experience with administering medications and special diets including raw food. I am a stay at home mom to 3 children, meaning I am always home and readily available. We spend lots of time playing in our huge fenced in backyard, so your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I have plenty of balls, frisbees, and toys ready to go! A daily walk is included (weather permitting, if desired), and I am more than happy to stick to your dog's regular feeding and care routine. I pride myself on being flexible, accommodating, and quick to send photo updates as often as you’d like throughout the day. Your fur baby will be included with our family all day, including walks, rather than a traditional boarding facility. Your dog is welcome to sleep on their own full-size bed in the guest room, on the couch, or crate (if desired)! I am also very experienced with crate training, puppies and seniors. I only want one dog at a time (or 1 family with 2 dogs) to give personalized care.
“My dog loves this family! She is engaged in lots of activities and is worn out by the end of the day. She loves all the attention! I never have to worry because I know she’s being taken care of and engaged in play more than she is at home.”
“Riley always comes home from Aimee and Derek's super tired and happy! He loves to play with their other dogs and surely gets his fill while staying here. Aimee and Derek are so kind and very welcoming of Riley.”
“Michelle did a superb job with my dog. She went the extra mile, sending updates, wiping her eyes, and brushing her. My dog felt very comfortable with her and her home. I will definitely use Michelle again. She is amazing with dogs.”
“Excellent feedback throughout my trip. Friendly, personable and I believe she took very good care of my baby girl. Lots of pictures. Lots of follow-up. Wonderful experience”
“Just amazing sitters. They really treat your pup as one of their own. Hardest part of any trip is leaving your fur baby behind but it’s a little easier when you know he’ll have a blast and be in great hands! Thank you Debbie and Ryan once again!”
“It's always hard to leave Rudy with just anyone and Tina definitely did a great job. She updated me daily with pictures of Rudy and I could tell from photos he was enjoying his time. Extra plus was that she washed his dog and water bowl which I thought was super sweet and much appreciated! Would recommend Tina and will be using her again in the future.”
“Amber is a truly great sitter who obviously has a real connection with dogs. I felt safe leaving my old boy with her (and not long after he had a health scare), and she took excellent care of him. I'm really grateful. Thank you!”
“What positive superlatives can I use for Dee, Murphy, and Elsie but that they are the quintessential hostesses and host! I am a total worrier I have two Westies who are like my children. My kids and I had to take a sudden trip out-of -town when I found Dee. Dee was a lifesaver. Our boys were treated with love and kindness and Dee faithfully sent photos and updates daily. We have subsequent trips coming up and will absolutely come back to Dee. She and her Westies are wonderful. Thank you, Dee, Murphy, and Elsie!!”
“This is Rudy's third stay with Bobbie. She and her family are outstanding. We can't say enough good things about the care they provide. It is so nice to have a trusted sitter for our boy. Thank you Bobbie!”

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 Knowlton Heights 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 Knowlton Heights 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 Knowlton Heights.
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 Knowlton Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Knowlton Heights 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 ID 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.
