“This was a great first experience using Rover. It was easy to set up a meet and greet and then the actual boarding all went great. Allison was the best communicator sending updates and pictures of our dog in her care. I will confidently be able to use this service going forward”
“Ciara and her family are just so sweet and attentive and her dog Arlo was so playful again with our puppy and let her get all her energy out:) We appreciated the photo updates and felt she was truly treated like a member of the family while we were away. Thank you.”
“Stephanie and her family took exceptionally good care of my 19 month old goldendoodle. I hope they will let him stay again. Thank you for everything! Love Noa and Anthony.”
“Our first experience leaving our dog with someone new . Codey is like another one of our kids so i was very selective. I was so nervous at first but the attention and daily communication with Cristina before we left and during helped ease my fears. She kept in contact with me daily so we could enjoy our vacation. Getting pictures with updates on their daily activities i could see Codey was getting the attention and care like he was her own. We look forward to booking with Cristina again.”
“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

“Terra was friendly and has a nice family. And my pet was happy when we picked up. Overall very happy with Terra, she even did few FaceTime calls so we can check in on our pet. One request we have is if she can respond to messages quickly, but otherwise no complaints with the service.”
“Nestor was able to accommodate opal when we were leaving town last minute. He sent us photos of her and we knew she was happy with him because she kept looking back at him when we picked her up. We are glad she was able to stay with someone who clearly bonded with her!”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and Deb H. I’m very happy with the service she provided for my pet Ruby. She sent me pics and updates while we were away for 3 days. Ruby was very comfortable in Deb’s cozy home. I’m so happy I found a sitter who is reliable and caring. Thank you Debs H.”
“I am so happy with my experience. They did an excellent job. Bridget is amazing and made me feel so secure and took such good care of my fur babies. I will definitely be using her again and again.”
“We tried Jessica for boarding Ace since we had to attend a family wedding for 5 days. This was the first time for Ace to stay at an unfamiliar location but Jessica was very polite and passionate about Ace. She took good care of him, She sent pictures to us everyday and kept us updated. Jessica made the entire process so much easier. She is a great dog sitter. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“The BEST dog sitter ever! Treated our little guy with such love and care for the entire time. Kept us updated the entire stay with messages and pictures. Overall The best experience ever 💙”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

“As a first‑time dog‑sitting client, I was nervous and unsure what to expect. Kyle exceeded every hope I had. He was reassuring from the start, communicated clearly, and made me feel genuinely comfortable. Beyond caring for my dog, he showed real empathy and took the time to listen when I had concerns. His updates were consistent, and the extra photos were such a sweet touch. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McHenry
Stephanie and the family are absolutely amazing as caretakers, they go above and beyond ensuring you are constantly informed and in the know about your loved ones. We have a large dog, who we have dropped off with Stephanie a few times now, between the walks, the playtime with kids, company from other dogs, and sheer love, our pup is super happy with his time spent there and is exhausted by the time we pick him up. They are an amazing family and great at what they do, highly recommend them across the board!
This was our first time leaving our dogs and using Rover. We chose Nicholas and Paula because they had a Goldendoodle, and we had a goldendoodle too. They communicated and sent update pictures and messages. Our dogs did great and were happy as well. We will definitely book with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 McHenry 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 McHenry.
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 McHenry 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 CA 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.
