“They had only great things to say Yoshi when I picked him up. They genuinely seemed to enjoy Yoshi which is such a comfort for me. I highly recommend them. I will definitely use them again!”
“Rebeca gave great care to my Kobe❤️ I got updated daily via text with how he was doing along with a photo of my dog. I’m so glad Kobe got along well with Rebeca's dog Nico. I felt at ease leaving my Kobe with Rebeca, since it did help that I requested to meet her and her daughter a couple weeks before my dog’s scheduled stay. I will definitely recommend Rebeca to my friends and family! Thank you!!!”
“This was my first experience boarding my dog and Marissa was great. She did her daily medication and sent me updates. I felt like my dog was safe with her and came back to a happy pup!”
“If you want someone who truly understands dogs, this is your guy. I have a very timid, and reactive Pyrenees-poodle and he does not do well with strangers. Eric gave Winston a calm safe space to relax, and adapt to. He was very communicative while I was gone. My questions and concerns were answered promptly. Winston was able to get lots of exercise daily. As well as free time to roam. When I picked him up, he was very calm, and happy. I will absolutely being using Eric again in the future.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Barbara. We were so impressed with the frequent check ins she sent us through our trip, it was clear she spend a lot of quality time with our dog, Peach. From the all the videos and photos we received, we were instantly put at ease seeing how much fun Peach was having. Peach has been really timid with other dogs in the past but warmed up to Barbara’s Knox quickly! What a great new dog friend! We’re looking forward to boarding with Barbara again soon. Thank you, Barbara!”
About: We have a large half-acre yard and your pets will have the opportunity to play with our dogs or can be kept separately! We are also happy to send you pics or facilitate Facetime with you and your pet if it helps ease that homesickness from your furry friend. We love having extra furry friends. They will be kept safe and maybe spoiled. The longest your pet would be home without potty breaks is 2 hours. We have a fenced yard and two dogs that your pet can play with or we can keep them separately. We are also happy to send frequent pictures if it helps!!!
“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!”
“Jason is always up for taking care of our dogs and he is so great with them. He taught me a few tricks and honestly my larger dog is always so well behaved when we pick him up. He trains dogs as a hobby and is awesome at it! He is always flexible with pickup and drop off which I usually need and its so helpful. We have booked multiple times and we will keep coming back. Thanks Jason!”
“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!”
“Heidi was great with our pup Ruth! She helped her socialize and build her confidence with other dogs safely. She sent many picture updates so we knew how much fun Ruth was having. We will definitely have Heidi take care of her again!”
“Jason was such a great sitter for our little dog Dot! We gave him a little bit of short notice and he was able to take her for us regardless. Very accommodating with both pick up and drop off times, and also so great about doing a meet and greet beforehand. She played her little heart out with the other dogs, and we loved the open access that she had to the yard and the house. They followed our routine well and sent multiple picture updates for us while we were away, which was very nice. Overall, great experience! We would definitely recommend Jason for anyone’s pup. Thanks!”
“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.”

“Aubrielle took such good care of my dogs and they loved her. It was so nice to be on vacation and feel like someone was with my dogs who loved them and genuinely cared about them so I didn’t have to worry.”
“Krystal is Very nice and has a very spacious place for Oscar. He seemed to like it. Very good communication and understanding with the changes in my schedule vacation. We will use her again.”
“If you want your pet cared and very loved for let Mary watch them she went above and beyond caring for my dog she sent tons of updates and took good care of him. We had some things come up and she extended his stay an extra day and took very good care of him she was so so awesome to work with. I highly recommend Mary to care for your fur babies.”

Jared is AMAZING! 🤩 He goes above and beyond to make sure our boys are well taken care of. Sometimes our boys have been on medication and Jared always makes sure they receive their medication on time. We have rebooked with him multiple times and we will definitely continue to do so! THANKS SO MUCH JARED!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
