“Our dog, Roscoe, had a great stay with Crystal and Michael! Crystal was very communicative and sent photos and videos. I was particularly encouraged because Roscoe has tended to have stress colitis when boarded which caused diarrhea. His stomach was FINE with Crystal which tells me he wasn’t stressed and he seemed genuinely happy. I will definitely book with them in the future.”
“We have used Kym several times and couldn't be more pleased! She is fabulous with communication and always sends lots of pictures! When we drop our puppy off he is always happy to go right in, we can tell her home is a comfortable place for him and he is happy to be there!!”
“Leslie was great and she took the best care of our dog. She took him to the dog park, on walks, and sent updates. We have already booked future stays for our dog!”
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
“Amanda was fantastic! Lucy was very well taken care of and we received picture texts while we were away for the Thanksgiving weekend. She had Amanda’s dog Tibbers to play with and they went for a walk when weather permitted. We will definitely use Amanda again!”
“My dog Luna loves Eileen and so do I. She sends a lot of photos of my dog and plays with her. I didn't have to worry about leaving Luna like I have with other sitters for my previous dog. Luna happily went to Eileen and Jeff's home and that made me very happy. They give Luna excellent care and Eileen is well organized, very friendly and extremely reliable. I'll book her again for my next trip in the summer months.”
“Simply amazing! We had an extremely last minute booking as we had to leave town unexpectedly (like only a few hours notice). Abigail happily took sawyer and i knew he would be so well cared for. She even was flexible when our trip got extended a bit (so sorry Abigail!!) Sent lots of pics and updates and i know Sawyer was so happy. 100000% book with abigail!”
“She was the best! My dog was made very welcome & slowly introduced to others so he was comfortable. I loved all the pictures that she shared with me-I was/am totally impressed with Teri!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Super reliable, caring, and great with communication. We got regular updates and our pup came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Milo had a great time and was taken care of exactly as his medical needs required. We appreciate the flexibility with his pickup and will certainly return if we need boarding again.”
“Jessica was wonderful with our Labradoodle. She is obviously a loving and caring person and I knew that our dog would be well cared for. I had a planned surgery with a hospital stay and felt quite comfortable with boarding our doggie with her. We had a short “Meet & Greet” a few weeks prior to the boarding date and her dog Lulu and cat KitKat were fun playmates for our dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jessica again for doggie day care or boarding.”
“Becky and her husband were so kind! My pups were right at home with her, they weren’t the slightest bit stressed. I had peace of mind during my trip knowing they were in a loving environment with lots of attention. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Megan is pretty much... amazing! Penny has found her second home with Megan and her family. I never worry for Penny and I always know she is having a great time going on lots of walks, playing frisbee, and being loved. I totally recommend using Megan for your next rover house!”
About: I work remotely and love taking walks throughout the day to stop looking at screens. I go for frequent runs, walks and hikes and love taking a dog with me, just let me know if you would like your pup to get extra exercise! I live in downtown CDA area with a large fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks! I only take in one dog at a time. I had both dogs and cats growing up and I'm a proud Aunty of all my friends dogs when they are out of town. I always look forward to it! If you have a strong high energy dog, don't sweat it. I had a retriever/chow mix for 14 years and I'm stronger than I look. :) Currently I work in real estate so I make my own hours and have plenty of time to walk your pup and give them extra attention I have a large fenced yard, a good size home for them to roam around, and a great neighborhood for long walks. <3 danyelle .
“Hannah is amazing with pets. She took in our dog Huey during a stressful move and somehow helped him feel relaxed and at ease. He very clearly enjoyed himself! & I love that she provides frequent photos and videos!”
“Aimee took wonderful care for my pup. Especially being available almost last minute! I would highly recommend her and reach out again for any of my pups needs.”
About: Hi there! Hopping back into pet sitting. Last did so when I was in school, currently have a full-time job in medical care but weekends have opened up and would love to care for your pet! My weekends are lowkey, so can give your pet my full attention. I’m either taking my dog to the dog park, out for a quick run, or reading a good book. I have a sweet Corgi, Crouton (5), who LOVES to play so it’s a bonus that he gets to make new friends :) he will help keep your pet happy and active! I also have a cat, Boots (14) that often minds his own business and sleeps all day. I grew up with cats and dogs and believe they are part of the family. They snuggle on the couch, sleep on the bed, and I take my dog wherever I can. Often on 3 mile walks and to the dog park. I will love your pet as my own! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Rockford Bay 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 Rockford Bay.
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.
You and your Rockford Bay 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 ID 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.
