“Our dog Moxie had a great time on his weekend away at Briana’s! She made us feel very comfortable, making sure Moxie met her dogs in a neutral location first. She kept him safe and active all weekend, and sent us pictures and videos throughout. We are so happy with our choice and would definitely look to work with her again!”
“Hannah did such a great job with our German shepherd, I’m so glad we found her and we will definitely use her going forward! Great communication and very pleasant to deal with! Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!”
“Cindy is amazing and Kolbe always enjoys his stay with her. He loves to play with other dogs and he happily get some rest on the ride home from her place!! Can’t recommend Cindy enough!!”
“We were on vacation with our puppy and needed a sitter. Kyle & Kaleigh were absolutely the best! Fritz had a terrific day hanging out with them at their house. He played all day with their dog, Izzy. They provided an update and even sent a video. I would highly recommend them! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Molly took incredible care of our senior dog for 6 nights and 7 days. She communicated thoroughly, sent pictures, and loved on our dog like she was one of her own. Thanks so much Molly!”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”
“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”
“Alina was wonderful with Schooner. She made sure he was happy and comfortable at all times. He made fast friends with her dog Laska, who snuggled close to him during a thunderstorm to help calm him. In every photo she sent, Schooner looked happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I'm back in the area. thank you!”
“Excellent experience start to finish!! Kaitlin was responsive to our sheltie’s sometimes-timid approach to other dogs, and it was a total success. They had a grand time and leaves us wishing we had to be back this way again!”
“Katie was an amazing sitter for our dog. If he could talk I'm sure he would tell us he didn't want to leave! Katie was excellent communicator, and sent pictures of our dog enjoying his time away from us. We had a connecting flight cancel and Katie was gracious and professional in flexing what plans I had made initially. We are grateful and will be working around Katie's schedule next time we need to go away! Thanks Katie!”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
“Audrey is amazing! Our little ShihTzu loves to stay with her when we visit Maine each year. He gets lots of exercise and has many outdoor adventures! I only wish that Audrey lived in MD so that we could book with her more often!”
“Katie went above and beyond with Reba! She was very responsive and accommodating and gave our dog plenty of love and attention during our stay in Portland. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone needing dog sitting services and we will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we're in the Portland area.”

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. 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 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 Lake Arrowhead 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 Lake Arrowhead 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 Lake Arrowhead.
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.

You and your Lake Arrowhead 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 ME 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.
