“Jecinda was great with Otis! I received updates and pictures of him, which helps me greatly. Upon drop off, the home was very clean which is very important to me. She was very kind, and it made me feel better knowing that he adjusted quickly. We will be using her boarding services again!”
“Sierra and Andrew were wonderful!! Sierra took such good care of our girls, and sent us many daily photos and updates. Our pups had such a blast playing in their yard, and they didn't want to leave when we picked them up! Highly recommend booking with Sierra - they are amazing dog sitters :)”

“Dianne was great! I was worried Walker would come home and have to readjust from being gone a few days. Nope! I feel like he's more behaved than he was before ? Definitely found our new fur baby sitter! She worked some magic on him while we were away ?”
“Danielle did an excellent job with Missy. She stayed in contact with me and answered every text that I sent her about Missy. She sent photos of Missy daily, .the photos helped me to be able to see with my own eyes that Missy was being well cared for. When I came for Missy she was clean, happy and I saw no signs of neglect. Thank you Danielle for your hard work and dedication.”

About: I have always had animals in my life. In my past I have raised, trained and shown Dobermans. I have raised Persian cats. I have owned horses, raised quail, raised other game birds, owned a cockatoo (Goffin), kept fish (reef tank), saltwater and freshwater, had a koi pond, raised geckos and chameleons, and currently have a small flock chickens, 3 cats and one Dobie. My dog and cats get along with others. I am comfortable with all kinds. Can keep some in my home or come to yours. I have often pet sit for friends and family and decided to join Rover. I work during the day Monday through Friday until 430. I can come home during lunch or go to your home for a potty break or walk. I walk my own dog in the morning and evening and sometimes a third time before bed. I have a fenced yard and I do regular walks daily. I can look after your furbabies in the evening hours after work and can come in the morning before work, with a visit during lunch break.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Riceville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Riceville 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 Riceville.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riceville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Riceville 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
