“Elizabeth and Christopher were great with our dog Bailey. I got a good feeling about them and their home as soon as I dropped Bailey off. They sent pictures and updates and Bailey was well taken care of. Would definitely use them again if available x”
“Very efficient in keeping me posted on my pup. He did better for her than me lol. Gizmo found his new best friends!! Never used a sitter before but so glad it was a great first experience.”
“We were very happy with the whole experience and the care she showed our dog. She was a prompt and good communicator. We received photos and videos of our dog during the stay. We had to extend our stay and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend.”
“Lucy is SO wonderful! She is flexible, communicative and welcoming. She made sure our shy girlie was comfortable and well taken care of. She provided photos daily and sweet updates! Whether you’re leaving your dog with her for a day or a week, he/she will come home happy and tired!!! 💛”
“Karrie & her husband took such good care of our two doodles! Karrie kept us informed on how they were doing, sent us lots of pictures, and always promptly responded when we contacted her! We highly recommend Karrie and hope to see her again in a near future! As a bonus, they are very nice and down to earth people! ❤️”
“Susan and her family were great with our doggo. Coordinating his stay was easy and we appreciated the meet & greet before booking. During his stay, Susan sent lots of pix and updates, giving us a lot of peace of mind. Our pup’s translation back home was very smooth, which told us he wasn’t stressed while we were away, and that is what every pet owner hopes for. We’ll definitely reach out again if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. We received daily updates and pictures. Our two dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Thank you Gloria and Griffin for making this such a positive experience for all of us. We truly appreciate the care and attention you gave Oliver and Bear.”
“Brittany is our go-to! She and her family take such good care of Ovi whether it is for an afternoon or a long weekend. His tail wags in excitement every time we are close for a drop off!”
“Angela was very accommodating and took great care of my cats! I would definitely book again and would 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for excellent pet care 😊”
“Absolutely wonderful. Brittany was very responsive from the moment we inquired. Sent us frequent updates on our dog throughout the stay. They gave so much love to our hesitant but lovable old puppy.”
“Nancy was so great with our dogs while we were away. Her experience with her own senior dogs made her the perfect care taker for our 16-year-old pup and five -year old pup. She treated them just like they were her own. We plan to book with her again.”
“My dog loves Aaron and Mazer. She thinks she is going there anytime I get up early and she watches for Aaron’s Jeep. She is so excited when his Jeep turns into the drive! And I love that he will pick her up and drop her back off at the end of her stay. It makes my life easier.”
“Stephanie was able to watch our 10 year old Daniff on short notice, and he had the absolute best time!! He made so many new friends, but Stephanie was also great at giving him his old-man alone time! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and we will absolutely be using her again!”
“First of all, I was impressed with Lauren’s perfect dog friendly house where any pet would be so comfortable and loved. But more important, our dog Bentley, who has become more anxious as he ages, spent the first 12 hours at Lauren’s highly restless and even peeing inappropriately despite all of Lauren’s efforts. Our family was in Colorado and Lauren was awesome working with us long distance , but especially with Bentley to help him get his calm back and once over his initial jitters, he was a good guest in her house. I can’t thank Lauren enough for her willingness to work through all this with us and for being so chill with it all. It was a lot and she was wonderful! She should always be a first choice if you’re looking for someone kind and patient to watch your pet.”
“Barbara was wonderful with our goldendoodle and took great care of him! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated with pictures. Nash enjoyed being there! We would definitely book with Barbara again.”

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

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 Linwood 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 Linwood 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 Linwood.
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 Linwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Linwood 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 KS 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.
