Boarding • May 29, 2026

This was the first time leaving my pack with a sitter who wasn’t family or a friend—I booked months in advance for a family wedding. Dara was wonderful from the start, including the meet-and-greet. During the stay, she sent regular updates and photos that really put me at ease over our two nights away. Several showed them in their usual spots: Truman sleeping on the couch, Shelby on the cool floor, and Rue near the food (and the back of the couch!)—which made it feel like they were right at home. All three of my oldies have pill boxes, and she handled everything with care—they were clearly very well cared for. We’d definitely book with Dara again!

Dara goes above and beyond when caring for our pups and house! Glad to have peace of mind while we are away and know they are in great hands.

Dara has been walking my beloved little guy for 6 months or so, and she’s never failed me! She walks him like a champ, on time, and conscience. When she can’t do a walk she tells me waaaayyyy ahead of time, and may even have a backup for me!!! I have trusted her with entering my house while I’m not there, and have felt fine about it. The little guy loves her, I can see that on his face in the pictures she sends through her encounters. I’m glad to have found her through Rover, what a great app and a great dog sitter.

Dara lets my little cutie out 3 times a week and I only have great things to say about the situation! She’s on time, keeps me updated, takes good care of the little Buddy.

Dara is very attentive and professional. I had no worries leaving my two dogs in her care, in my house. She communicated often and sent pictures. Will definitely be using her services again.

I'm comfortable kenneling dogs per your instructions. I am happy to walk your dog as needed also. I only take dogs out on leashes or a tie down if there isn't a fenced yard.

To help me provide the best care, please let me know your dog's daily feeding schedule and any food allergies they have. I'd also love to hear about their favorite activities, whether they are allowed on the furniture (which is totally welcome here!), and if they happen to be an escape artist or have any special behavioral quirks I should watch out for.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
