“Very, very happy dogs who got a lot of play out! When we had any questions or change in scheduling, it was such an easy and quick response that everything felt low stress. When one of our dogs was acting mopey, we got a quick text with photos asking if we were concerned that I truly felt like our pups best interests were being cared for”
“Samantha was wonderful to work with - sent many pictures every day of the 12 days she sat Bobo. Bobo looked very happy in all the pictures, got plenty of play time, daily walks, and social time. She followed all written instructions and kept up with all requests. Would highly recommend.”
“Ashleen was awesome! She took such great care of our dog. She gave updates and made sure he was well taken care of while he was at her house. Will use her again when needing dog care.”
“Very helpful with my questions before booking. When our flight was delayed coming home she accommodated picking them up late. Dogs were happy and looked tired from the playtime when we picked them up. Her house was perfect for our outdoor dogs with fenced yard and room to play.”
“Brooke was wonderful! She took great care of Mipha and sent lots of photos of our pup having fun. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pickup time, and our puppy came home super happy!”
“Debi was very attentive and cared well for my kiddos. She sent me pictures of them having fun. That always makes me feel better to see them doing well. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily made my 1st Rover experience a GREAT ONE. She provided care and attention to my senior dog that put me to ease while I traveled. Emily is super responsive and gave me updates on how my dog was doing each day. The cherry on top were the pictures I was sent everyday of my dog playing, relaxing, and having fun. I highly recommend Emily for any dog owner!”
“Jessica offered fantastic service as sitter. From my initial contact she was quick with responding to notes, offered a meet and greet prior to providing boarding services and made my own dog feel right at home during her stay. Her own dog is as nice as can be and was a great host as well. I can highly recommend Jessica with confidence!”
“Phenomenal! Katherine took amazing care of our dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She took him on daily walks, and made sure he got lots of cuddles. I would recommend her 10/10! Thank you. ❤️❤️”
“They are the best dog sitters in Logan. I had a long trip planned and felt completely at ease leaving my dog with them. They sent pictures every day of my dog going on adventures with them and playing with his toys. They also kept him mentally stimulated by working on his training. They truly love Bruce and treat him like the spoiled only dog that he is.”
“I’m so thankful Rebeca accepted our last minute booking over a holiday weekend. My lab and schnauzer had the best time! She took them on a lot of walks and sent pictures. They had a lot of fun playing with her dog, too. They were happy and tired when I picked them up.”
“Makenna and Clint could great care of Homer! They took time to play with him and make sure he felt welcome in their home, and had a large fenced in back yard for him to run and play in. We will use them again for sure!”
“Summer was awesome with my dog! She went on daily walks and I received updates even when I was out of service, which was SO nice to receive when I came back from my trip. Photos were great and her whole family was super sweet & involved!”
“Sara and her family were so great with our dog. She got lots of attention and she was a happy dog when we picked her up. Sara sent pictures and let us know how things were going. I would highly recommend her!”
“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”
“Heidi was so great with our dog.I checked my cameras often and she was so dependable showed up when she said she was. You can tell she really had a love for dogs because was always playing with her. I will definitely be using Heidi the next time I go out of town.”

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 Richmond 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 Richmond.
<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 Richmond 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 UT 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.
