“Ashley was awesome! We were nervous leaving our little Victoria with someone while we went out of town. Ashley was accommodating, and very helpful to ease our worries while we were gone. The pictures and videos of Victoria helped as well. We would recommend her 100% and will be using her services again!”
“Charmaine did an excellent job of keeping me informed during Chief's visit. He has not cared for sitters in the past, and today he came home in excellent spirits! He was well taken care of while we were out of town and she gave me great peace of mind. We will use her next time we travel. Thanks so much Charmaine!”
“I just can’t say enough wonderful things about Debora & Randy! They were truly a godsend for us. They gave our puppy so much love and attention while we were gone for Christmas break, and were so patient with her as well. When unforeseen medical problems happened on our trip, they were so accommodating and understanding as we readjusted her pickup date. We got communication and photos from them daily, which was so comforting for our kids who were missing their pup. Pearl received such excellent care and attention, we were sure she wouldn’t want to come home with us 😂 You will not find a kinder, more caring, more compassionate sitter on this app. They were everything we needed, and so much more. Thank you, Debora & Randy, for everything!💕”
“Tearra was fantastic! Seems like Oakley really enjoyed the attention and playtime she was given. Definitely made me feel better about leaving her with someone, and now we have another sitter to use when I need to head out of town.”
“Linda is so sweet and caring. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She is genuine, I feel good about leaving my dog with her. I appreciate that she's not distracted by other responsibilities and can give my dog all the attention and care he needs and deserves.”
“Denise is FANTASTIC!! We will be back! She was so sweet and took such good care of Queenie! She loved it there and it was so apparent she was so happy! So kind and the space is clean and well cared for!!”
“Jaralee was so amazing, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her! She spoiled her and sent pictures letting us know how our pup was doing which I appreciated so much. She was also really flexible with our time coming home, as we were on an emergency family trip and weren't exactly sure of our return. We will definitely use Jaralee again if need be!!”

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 Rouse 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 Rouse.
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 Rouse 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.
