“Our experience with Crystal is phenomenal. We are a repeat client for dog boarding. She listens to what the dog owner says to ensure our pet is safe when it comes to our pet needs. She communicates pretty well & updates you without being asked which also include photos which is wonderful. She is highly recommended & her service is above 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ stars. You can definitely trust her with your fur babies. She has a clean and welcoming home & her fenced yard will keep your pets safe. Your pet may find a new friend while under her care like mine.”
“I had Jennifer keep my little guy over night, and want to say that she is just the person for the task. She loves dogs, and I knew she’d take care of him like her own. And upon pick up he was happy and taken care of! Thanks Jennifer!”
About: We had our first family dog 10 years ago, and we had 5 more after that. When I moved out, I got my own wienee in 2025. I want my baby to socialize more with other doggies so I thought pet-sitting might help with that. He's such an energetic but shy puppy so it would be nice to see him play with dogs of his size. I mostly work day shift. I get home around 2PM so I am free after. That's also when I would usually take out my own dog, so if I pet-sit, I can take them together so they can run and play in the grass. I currently live with my boyfriend but he will be out at work on the times I'm available and I will take full responsibility on the dogs that I pet-sit. Food, play, and cuddles... LOTS OF CUDDLES. I am not trained to perform medication administration or CPR but I will do whatever it takes to save them when something unfortunate happens. I will treat all dogs I pet-sit as my own... I will love them with all my heart <3
“We reached out to them at the last minute to watch our mini goldendoodle and they responded back quickly and were able to board him that night. They did a great job, and keep us updated on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts. They did an excellent job.”
“Kofi was amazing with my Princess Skye. Kofi made himself available at the very last minute of our wedding anniversary trip which made for a happy wife. Kofi sent pictures and videos everyday and kept me up to date with everything. I would highly recommend him for dog sitting.”
“Ian was Great,watched Mushka for 5 days while out of Town,he was accommodating and good with communication.Our Pet was well attended to and we definitely are going to work with next time.”
About: Hi, my name is Amy. I grew up in western NE and grew up taking care of all kinds of animals. In the last 10 years, I have owned 4 retired racing greyhounds and fostered 20 through the Heartland Greyhound Association. I'm comfortable with big and small animals! I can also help with senior animals and medication. I adore all animals. Well, snakes are questionable. I don't currently have any animals due to my changing schedule, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with them. My schedule varies by week. Please reach out to me with any questions. I’m excited to start helping you and your pets so feel free to reach out to me for assistance. My schedule is completely flexible at any time of day. Please reach out if you have any questions. I'm excited to help you with your fur babies! I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Depending on the personality of the animal I can have them here. I also have a dog park nearby I can take your dog.
About: Im very patient when it comes to teaching. I love nurturing animals and helping them become healthier. I can teach potty training and no leash pulling! Im currently working for delivery services so Im very convenient for any hours! I usually get up around 8:00 am and take my dog out. Then feed him an hour later and then again around 5. He also gets little healthy snacks in between such as fruit or plain greek yogurt! I have a gated backyard and a buddy to keep your friend company :). I also make sure everyone is playing safely and fair. I have an attic room to myself plenty of space.
“Ricky S was amazing! We would give him 6 stars if we could. He checked in daily and provided photos of our puppy’s stay. He was very accommodating and definitely spoiled our puppy :) Highly recommend!”
“Bosun loves to stay with Nina! She is so attentive to him and informs us on a regular basis of their time together. She treats Bosun as if he is her own baby boy dog! We couldn’t be happier with the care he gets. Thank you Nina!”
“I highly recommend April and her family. They took wonderful care of my pup. They were very responsive the entire time and also administered my dog's medication well. I absolutely loved getting all the picture updates while I was away! Plus, their sons were incredibly sweet with my dog. I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!”
“Ryne was a wonderful caretaker for our pups! Great place for them to stay where they have their own room but can go outside as needed. On sunny days, Ryne put their dog beds outside so they could enjoy the sunshine. We greatly appreciated the extra care of making sure my anxious sighthound would eat. I knew the dogs weren't stressed when I picked them up after their stay and it was the easiest hand off yet. Thanks Ryne!!”

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 Malvern 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 Malvern 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 Malvern.
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 Malvern. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Malvern 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 IA 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.
