“Allison watched my two pups this past weekend. Before their stay with her we did a meet and greet and when I met her I knew she truly loves animals and my pups liked her. During their stay Allison shared updates regularly and sent me pictures to show me how they were doing. I really appreciated her updates, especially because it was my younger pups first time staying anywhere other than home. While they were in her care I knew they will well taken care of and safe. Thank you Allison for taking such good care of my pups! Can't wait till the next time.”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for our 2 large breed pups. She gave us a lot of updates and photos and took great care of them. We felt really safe leaving our dogs with her. Her home was clean and secure. I highly recommend sitting with Jennifer and I would take my pups back again in the future. Thank you Jennifer! ☺️”
“Stephanie was an amazing temporary Mom for Romeo. I was tasked with finding someone to watch my dad’s companion from 350 miles away, while he was in a hospital. I was nervous to say the least. But from our first communication to when Romeo was picked up, Stephanie exuded an amount of care and kindness that let me know Romeo was in the right hands. I actually think it was a treat for Romeo to get the attention and love that he did from Stephanie. Would definitely encourage anyone to use her services.”
“Mary and her family were so amazing with my fur baby, Koa. It was his first time staying with people other than family. They made Koa feel so welcome in their home and was treated like one of their own! I was so relieved to receive lots of picture and video updates from Mary throughout his stay to know he was doing well and having fun! I would definitely recommend Mary to anyone nervous about leaving your pet! I will definitely have Koa stay again in the future if needed! Thank you so much Mary for taking such great care of Koa!”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
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!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20. I've watched dogs all my life and own 3 dogs right now. I'll make sure your pet is comfortable and happy in the comfort of my home. I have a fenced yard so that your pet can run around and I will make sure your pet is walked at least 2 times a day. I am available 24/7, your pet will be supervised most of the day. You can expect a few photos throughout the day and updates about your furry pet! I have fenced yard and a big house where your pet will be very comfortable, I can provide a bed for the pet or you can bring your own :)
“Jennifer was great with our girl and sent plenty of updates and got her out and about even with the holiday weekend. Her last minute availability and convenient location came in clutch! Thank you again Jennifer!”
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible

I love taking photos of adorable animals, so I can assure you that you will receive plenty of your little one(s)! I also love running, so if your dog(s) want a little more exercise, that is doable as well! Any distance of a walk is great with me!

On the weekends, I am available any time. I offer walks for pups and drop-ins for dogs and cats. I’d love to get to know your little one(s) and help out your busy family at the same time.
“Jessica & Ethan are the BEST! Lola had a great time staying with them as they are very caring people. Lola was taken for regular walks, and she was also taken to the doggie park for serious play time. When I picked up Lola, she was as happy as I have ever seen her. For sure I will book again in a heartbeat! Thanks!!!”
“Alisha had such a fun time with my dog Maverick. She sent lots of pictures, made sure he got the exercise he needed and was so accommodating to his allergies. Definitely will be booking again!”
“This young lady and her beautiful family took excellent care of my Senior fur baby who is blind. She updated me daily on my Iggy’s day and the peace of mind I had was so worth me choosing to use her/Rover. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my Iggy with her again. A BIG thank you.”

“Booked Jasmine to watch my dog Toby 4 days and 4 nights over Thanksgiving. Before booking, Jasmine agreed on a meet and greet just to confirm that Toby felt comfortable with her. Dropped Toby off Tuesday about 6pm and picked him up Saturday at about 6 pm. Over those 4 days Jasmine would send updates morning, noon, and night along with videos of Toby walking or playing with her dog Molly. Could not have been happier with the care Toby received and since he has been home he has seemed alot calmer than before I dropped him off. I would recommend Jasmine to anyone as she is definitely a 5 STAR sitter. I will for sure book her again in the future when needed.”

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.
