“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our girl with anyone so we were very nervous on how it would go! Nancy was so reassuring that Paisley would do well. She sent us pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing. Paisley came home one happy girl! We are so thankful to have found Nancy and highly recommend her!! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Angela was an amazing dog sitter! We left our fur baby with her during our long vacation. She updated me every day with pictures and how Winston was doing. Great experience!”
“Anastasia was so amazing! This was my first time being away from my puppy, and from the meet and greet to pickup, my pup was so comfortable and happy! I really appreciated the updates, communication, and every picture showed my pup relaxed, cozy, and having a blast. Anastasia took all the stress away from leaving my puppy with a new person, in a new environment, and I couldn't have asked for a better pupsitter! Thank you again so much for taking care of my puppy, and I definitely will reach out again if I need someone to watch her again!”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Susie was excellent! Very responsive in messaging. Also very flexible as far as plans. Our dog had a safe and happy stay with her. We would definitely work with Susie again!”
“Wonderful care for our playful doggie! We got notes, pictures or videos each day. Very communicative with drop off and pick up which was nice. They board other dogs and have their own so it was great fun for our social goldendoodle. She got pretty muddy playing toward the end so they even gave her a bath for an additional fee on the last day. Would definitely use again!”
“Kristopher was great. He communicated well and made the drop off process easy. He sent me lots of pictures of my babies while I was away. I highly recommend using him.”

“I would highly recommend booking with Chloe, she made my Lab feel right at home and took great care of him. He got daily snuggles and lots of outside time and had the best time! He came back really happy and I was happy to get daily pictures of him and updates while I was out of town.”
About: I've been caring for friends' dogs for the past eight years, ever since I became a dog mom myself. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm the kind of dog mom who throws my pup a birthday party every year, complete with treats, decorations, and lots of love. Dogs are truly part of the family in my house. Hi! My name is Kendra, and I'm a marketing professional who works remotely from home full-time. I have an 8-year-old Goldendoodle named Henry, who has spent many happy days with Rover sitters over the years. Now that I'm working from home, I'm excited to provide the same level of care and attention to other dogs that I always wanted for my own. My home is located in a quiet neighborhood and features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to explore and play. I believe in regular updates and clear communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“This is Daisy's fourth or fifth stay with Paul and Arnel - every time she is spoiled & treated as one of their own! It is such a comfort to know how loved on she is when she visits them.”
“Diego had the best experience with Stephen. He was treated like a King and enjoyed his stay so much. Diego felt like he was at his second home and settled right in. He looks forward to seeing Stephen and Connie again”
“Jeannine very graciously accepted a last-minute request (< 12 hrs) to board Gunner for one night. Gunner was instantly comfortable with her kids and home, which was so comforting to see. When I went to pick Gunner up Jeannine explained that Gunner and her dog destroyed Gunner's bed so she bought him a new one. Not only was it cute but Gunner has been loving it. Thank you, Jeannine and fam! We will most certainly be back.”
“Linda and Bobby were great dog sitters. This was a first for us and our dogs. Linda and Bobby kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups daily- which we really appreciated. I would definitely have them watch our doggles again! Thank you 😊”
“Laura was great! This was my first time leaving my two dogs with Laura and I’m always very anxious to leave them with someone new. Laura was very understanding and sent cute photos whenever I asked. My boys were always snuggling and seemed relaxed and happy during their stay. Thanks Laura!”
“Scout, our 9-year-old Labrador, stayed with Siru for an extended period. Siru was eager to let Scout enjoy her favorite activities, which made her very happy. Knowing our beloved pet was happy and well cared for allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. The best part was the updates and photos that Siru sent us.”
“Tara was so great with our dogs and really helped us enjoy our trip to Dayton without having to worry about the dogs. They had a great puppy party and came back tired and fully content with their stay! Definitely will be reaching out again for our next trips to Dayton!”

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 Needy home-away-from-home, 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 Needy.
<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 Needy 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 , 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 .
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 OR 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.
