“Another great day with Tara! My little guy was well taking care of and Tara kept great contact and sent plenty of updates and pictures. We already have another stay on the books with her!”
“Our babies absolutely love Lori! Max and Sas were taken care of in a loving environment and were treated so well?. We were a bit apprehensive to leave our fur babies with anyone but we were in a bit of a bind ( holidays). We had never used Rover and had just moved to Va from Nevada. We talked to Lori and asked a ton of questions. Like who would be around them, how often they would be let out to go potty, etc… after a few text and a few phone calls we felt she would be a perfect fit for our pups! We were so happy we made the decision to go with her! Our boys absolutely love her and love staying over night! After the first stay we went back for a quick visit just to say hello…They were both in a hurry to get out of the car (tails wagging) this made us so very happy to see they were happy to see her. We will definitely use her every time for boarding or anything she has to offer like dog sitting all of our babies. Thank you Lori for sending pics through out their stay and for being so amazing with our pups??. We appreciate you and the great care you took of Max and Sas! See you soon again!”
“We had such a great experience with Joanne and she took such great care of our dog even with a very last minute booking. We are so glad we found her, highly recommend!”
“Anahita was absolutely wonderful with my 1.5-year-old boy, Ranger! He’s still all pup-full of energy and curiosity, but she handled him with so much patience and care. She was incredibly responsive and respectful, keeping me updated and continuing to work with him on his manners and behavior. It’s clear she truly loves dogs. Our boy was in such good hands—highly recommend!”
“Kristen took really excellent care of our precious Holly! Holly came home happy and relaxed and actually more confident about going places and meeting other dogs — we could see a difference when we took her to the groomer today. Will absolutely use her again!!”
“Abby has watched our dog Rocky several times and has always done a wonderful job! Rocky is a rescue, and a terrier, and she let him take his own time getting to know her and her 2 dobie's (both great). This last time presented some unusual challenges, and Abby went above and beyond to make sure Rocky felt safe with her and that we could continue our vacation. She has always communicated well, and has been fantastic with all of her care. I would highly recommend her for your pet!! I can't say it enough. She's great.”
“Kelly took amazing care of my Stevie while I was visiting family in April! We did an initial meet and greet before his official drop off date and Kelly instantly bonded with Stevie : ). During his stay, Kelly frequently checked in with me and sent me pictures! She even sat on the floor and consoled Stevie through a thunderstorm when he got scared. Kelly was wonderful and I can't recommend her enough! <3”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Baxter received from Elisa and James! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with them, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But they immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Elisa and James kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. They were attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. Thank you, Elisa and James, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We're so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Jamie was awesome and super accommodating to my fur babies! I can tell they had so much fun, they were worn out when I got them home from a 3 night stay 🤣 we will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Jamie!”
“Lauren, impressively on short notice, took my pup in for boarding and was remarkable with his care! I highly encourage anyone seeking pet assistance to consider Lauren for services & I plan to seek her services the next time my pup needs boarding.”
“Whitney was incredible good with my little one. She took care of him very well when I was sick. And Tokyo had a great time with her dog Feather. She sent me lots of pictures and lmk all the time of how was my dog, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you Whitney!!!”
“Already rebooked with Ashley. Didn’t think twice when needed somewhere for our Stella to stay - she loves it there. She was even reunited with a friend she met from her previous stay - so another happy returner. Ashley took special care from whether being prepared with meal toppers or for any firework anxiety. Will definitely be back!”
“I couldn’t be happier with this dog boarder! She is extremely kind and clearly loves what she does. Her home is in an absolutely clean environment, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog received very good care and came home happy and relaxed. What really surprised my husband and me was our dog’s cool attitude when we went to pick him up—unlike at earlier places, where he would rush toward us anxiously. He has never been so relaxed and comfy at any of the previous boarders’ homes. 10/10. Thank you, Victoria!"”
“Jessica made sure our two dogs had a great time. She got them toys, helped with potty training, and treated them like her fur babies! She’s got a whole room just for the dogs and cares deeply for animals. It was nice getting to know Jessica and her beautiful boy Koda! Thoughtfully priced, very personable, and truly loves watching the dogs”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rippon
Michelle did a great job taking care of our dog Milo. We were nervous about leaving him while we went on vacation, but we knew he would be fine when he ran towards her house when we dropped him off. Milo became part of Michelle's family during his stay, and we enjoyed the photos she sent while we were away. The next time we go on a family vacation we will make sure to board Milo with her again!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Rippon 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 Rippon 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 Rippon.
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 Rippon. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Rippon 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 WV 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.
