“Kari was wonderful with Hazel. I could tell Hazel adjusted well and enjoyed her time with Kari and her family by the photos and updates Kari provided along the way. I would leave Hazel with Kari again knowing that she would be well cared for.”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“Mike and Kelly were great with Finn, we loved receiving daily photos, he always looked so happy! I definitely recommend them, and feel very comfortable leaving Finn in their care.”
“Caitlin was incredibly responsive when scheduling with us. She was flexible when we had to adjust times and quick to reply. Super grateful we found her and she was able to take care of our pup for 2 nights. Would recommend and use again!”
“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Kathy was amazing with my dog Penny!!! Penny is a 1yr old Jack russell mix and has lots of energy, but Kathy played with her, went for walks and gave Penny lots of snuggles! Kathy was professional, caring, responsible and made me feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pictures throughout the boarding process along with updates of how Penny was doing. I can’t wait to rebook with her & highly recommend her! 🐶😊”
“Erin was fantastic! I highly recommend. Great with communication, sent pics, and took wonderful care of my two dogs. She was also available on short notice in our case which was extremely appreciated.”
About: A please note: I am also often in California and will be available there as well for services. Please check location with me. I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. I’ve always cared for dogs of all sizes and my beloved rescue and feral cats. I used to work as a veterinary technician when I was young and can give meds, even subcutaneous infusions. I have many years of experience with pets, not just my own, but pet sitting for friends and through other platforms online. I am very lucky to work remotely from home and can take as many breaks as I need to go for walks or have some quality play time with your pet! I spend pretty much all day Mo-Fr at home because of my job, but I can go on long walks in the AM and PM and take a shorter walk at lunchtime. For dog walking or drop in visits, please only within 15 miles of Roseville, CA. For House sitting in your home I’m willing to drive up to 150 miles for a stay over at least 5 days. Thanks! I have done many sits in clients’ homes for either dogs or cats, or both. i will take care of the pets according to their routine as explained to me by their owner. I will make every effort to give your pets the best and most loving care and provide a safe and kind environment. If they like, they can sleep with me in the bed or sit on my lap, it’s up to whether the owner allows it and whether the animal feels comfortable.
“I could relax on my vacation because Beth Ann was caring for Juno! She sent updates and photos and took her on long walks, even in the pouring rain! She gave her all the attention and love she needed; I knew Juno was having as much fun as I was!”
“Kevin was very quick to respond (and accept) our last minute request, even as a new client! He sent pictures every day, gave us updates, and even was super accommodating in extending our dog’s stay one more night. Would absolutely book again!”
“Donna watched our Dexter for two weeks. She made us feel so comfortable with pictures and video’s every day! Dexter had such a great time with Donna and her family. We would highly recommend Donna’s services to anyone!”
“An exceptional stay for my little pupper. They were very communicative accommodating and very kind. This was actually the first time we've ever left our dog with someone and will definitely be doing it again with them. They also were able to help me out in a pinch last minute to walk her the following week. Can't say enough positive things about them”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I used to work for a doggy daycare for three years and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am CPR-certified for cats and dogs and I have basic animal first aid knowledge. I have had both cats and dogs most of my life. I am a full-time student, however, I do not have classes every day and am also available on the weekends. I would be more than willing to check in on your pets at whatever interval you are comfortable with. I am a responsible and respectful person who will follow your instructions and wishes regarding your pets. I have had pets with specific requirements and understand having specific instructions for your pets.
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.

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.

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 Makonikey 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 Makonikey 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 Makonikey.
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 Makonikey. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Makonikey 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 MA 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.
