“Brianna was outstanding! She was so gentle and loving with our sweet boy and made his first boarding experience an absolute dream! She kept me informed of how he was adjusting and sent me the best videos and pictures of him interacting! We will definitely be using her in the near future!”
“Second time we have used Shawna! Always quick to respond and Moretisha has a great time. Moretisha is very needy and it is always great knowing that she will be well taken care of while we are traveling. Great Family to take care of your pets!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 2½-year-old Cavapoo. Throughout college, I fostered small-breed dogs from very young ages and have regularly pet sat for friends and family. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and will treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I come home for lunch for an hour and have weekends open as well. I have a doggie door with a fenced in backyard for playtime and can always close it while I’m gone. My office is nearby so I am happy to go check on them periodically! When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care instructions, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. With approval, a night time pup cup is a standard in our home!
“Sent me pictures the whole time she had my dog which made me super comfortable while also getting great pictures of her!! 10/10 recommend! Very negotiable with picking up times as well!”
“Highly recommend!! Brandy and her family were great with our dog. Excellent communication, quick response, and it’s very clear they love animals. She responded on really short notice and was fantastic to work with. Will book again!”
“Destanie was FABULOUS with both our dogs for the weekend! They came home exhausted and well loved 🥰 I will definitely be booking her again! She even gave them both a bath! Thank you!!”
“Haley is wonderful and our 2 small dogs had the best time with her! They seemed happy and playful when we picked them up. Haley sent photos and even a video during their time with her, which really helped make it easier to get through being away from them. I highly recommend her, and next time we are in the area we will definitely check her availability if I’m needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Haley!”

About: I’ve had dogs since before I could walk, and I’ve been around them my entire life. I have experience with all sized and tempered dogs, cats of different ages and even birds and farm animals.

In my household I have one small dog named Rosie. She is free fed, we take a daily walk and she goes outside to potty or relax about 5/6 times a day. I really aim to focus on what each particular pet needs and enjoys to make sure they’re in the best care.
“Alicia took such great care of our 2 dogs. She would send me pictures daily, sometimes multiple times a day, with a quick update on how everything was going. I didn’t worry about our dogs all weekend, what a relief!”
“Exceptional!! Wrenne was amazing, I can’t even began to describe how pleased I am.. So professional, my baby is spoiled rotten so I was nervous about him being so needy but she reassured me he would be well taken care of, and he was. She updated me throughout his entire stay! She’s such a beautiful soul”

About: I‘ve had pets as long as I can remember. I have a cat and a dog who love to play! My family bred cats growing up, so I have dealt with MANY different situations and know the proper responses in emergency situations. I have experience training, walking, socializing, and showing dogs and cats. I love pets and would be thrilled to take care of your furry friend. Spending time with pets brings me joy. I know each pet has a unique personality, and love learning and adapting to each one’s! I look forward to meeting your precious pet and taking care of it as if it were my own.

Whether it’s an early morning walk or a late night check-in, I’m here to help care for your pets. I have a cat and a dog at home, both of whom are high energy. I love to play tug and fetch and use wand toys to entertain, but am just as comfortable giving snuggles or taking your furry friends on a walk.
“Autumn, thank you for taking care of my big baby. Thank you for sending pictures and videos of Diesel, while I was out of town. Those pictures and videos melted my heart. I appreciate your kindness and your professionalism. We will surely be back! Alicia”

They never had a problem sharing toys or show signs of food aggression

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 Petal 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 Petal.
<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 Petal 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 MS 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.
