“My dog Goose had a blast and seemed a little bummed when his stay was over. He got good care, good company, and plenty of space to get out his energy. They were flexible with me, responded quickly, and sent multiple reassuring updates! 10/10 from myself and my boy!”
“Allison is such an angel! She cared for my baby Max through his worst days of having cancer. Thank you for all the love and care you showed Max through this difficult time, we both appreciate you so much! ❤️🩹🙏🏼”
“We love leaving our 2 furries, Maggie & Millie, with Colby & Dave. When we found out Dave slept on the couch with one of his furry guests who was having a sad night without his mom & dad we knew we found "real" dog lovers. We heard from them daily with pictures & reports. So happy to have them so close by!!”
“I am beyond grateful we found Vanessa and on such short notice over the Christmas holiday. Our two boys were so happy during their stay and lived their best lives running around the big yard and being loved on so much. She sent pictures and updates and was so flexible to have a meet and greet before hand. Hands down the best boarding experience we’ve ever had! Thank you, Vanessa from the bottom of my heart! I will be keeping her as our number 1 go to in the future!”
“I highly recommend Colleen and her family to care for your beloved pets. Our two dachshunds spent over a week in the loving care of Colleen’s family while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dogs were treated like royalty. They stayed right in the house with the family, cuddled on the couch, sat on their laps, and even got to sleep with Colleen’s wonderful son. It was clear they were loved and cared for as if they were part of the family. Throughout our vacation, Colleen sent us photos and updates of our dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, relaxed, and completely at home with Colleen and her family. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely trust her with our dachshunds again.”
“Beth was so incredible with my anxious poodle! She made him feel right at home. He absolutely loved her and her dogs! I knew my dog was in the best hands while I was away. Highly recommend Beth if you need a dog sitter!”
“Finn had such a fun time with Christopher! He played so hard that when I picked him up he just snuggled and napped the afternoon away. I loved all the pictures I got everyday as well! Would definitely rebook with Christopher!”
“Amazing as always! Our dogs love going to their house! She is great with sending picture and photo updates while they are there! Having them there gives us a peace of mind and allows us to enjoy our vacation.”
“Melissa was so patient with Cooper. He was so scared and sad that we “left” him and gave Melissa a hard time the first day. She won him over the 2nd day and I was so relieved. We were thinking of coming home early, but she was so patient and kind Cooper was fine the rest of the time letting us enjoy Thanksgiving and our granddaughter’s first birthday party on Saturday. Thank you so much Melissa for taking good care of Cooper and Sandy too.”
“This is our 2nd time having Bob and Vicky watching Ellie. We are so pleased with the way they accept her into their home. Her and Jax get along great and make a very cute pair. Daily walks and lots of updates and photos. They make our trips much nicer as we know she is in a loving and safe home.”
“Excellent care and courteous communication! Pictures and video updates were comforting to receive and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Karen for your pet boarding needs and would definitely reach out to her again for our Ladybelle. Thanks again Karen!”
“Absolutely amazing! I worry about my geriatric lab who has separation anxiety. Amy sent messages multiple times a day with photos checking in with how things are going right down to potties, walks and medicine. I 100% vouch for her and highly recommend.”
“Ashley, Charles and her kids are amazing with my senior dogs, and I'm so glad that I found this family. They truly do care so much about your pets. I love that I get updates from Ashley and so many photos during the day. Thank you so much for taking great care of them!!”
“Gabrielle was kind and accommodating. My dogs have such different personalities and she was willing to play with one and sit and cuddle the other. They seemed super content and the updates put us at ease. Thank you!”
“Katelyn was great with my Layla & Ginger! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I could tell from the pictures my dogs were being well cared for. I will certainly allow Katelyn to keep my dogs again!”
“My dog loved her stay with Tina! She was immediately comfortable and it was obvious she was well taken care of. Tina has a big back yard that any dog would love. My dog played and ran around so much during her stay. I received regular updates on how she was doing for the few nights that I was away, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a loving and comfortable home for their dog to stay.”
“Jillian is wonderful and took great care of our very small doodle. We look forward to booking with Jillian the next time we're out of town. Highly recommended.”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”

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 Melba 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 Melba.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Melba 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 ID 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.
