“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Hummus is the happiest when he is with Manisha. The only time my wife and I have a pleasant holiday is when our baby is with the Manisha :) such a sweet family that gives every pupper the best time of their lives! You will not find anyone better.”
“Thank you wont be enough for the love, comfort and overall providing the cozy home to Bruno while we were on a abroad trip. Kylee is just incredible and treats your pup as her very own. We enjoyed the adorable pics & videos of Bruno getting all the attention ,pamper and that made our heart so happy and content. Bruno had a terrific time with Turtle and her sweet family. The ease of communication, flexibility is beyond measure. You couldn't find a better second home for your fur baby. Undoubtedly my first choice whenever I have to leave the town. What a wonderful experience!!”
“Barbara is a really warm person who my dog took a shine to right away. I was very comfortable leaving my little buddy with her and it sounds like they had a great time 🙂”
“Highly recommend! Our dog had a great time at their home. Aundrea sent frequent updates, including video and pictures which really helped us feel at ease. We could see that he was really enjoying himself with their family and staying very active, playing and going for walks.”
“Allison was very accommodating with our dog Yoshi who still has a lot of puppy energy. I could tell that Yoshi had a great stay, he came back home calm and very affectionate. I'll definitely reach out to Allison for dog sitting in the future.”
“We ate so happy we found Dottie to take care of our little Opie while we went on vacation for nine days. She made him feel right at home and he adjusted to her home very well. She communicated and sent pictures every day and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely use her again to take care of Opie and we highly recommend her.”
“AMAZING! This was my first experience with Dogvacay and I'll never go with any other service in the future. I didn't have a single concern about leaving Herman for a week after I met Shawna. She was incredibly sweet and easy to interact with and sent me pics everyday, sometimes twice a day. She even took him for a hike! So cool. And he had a nice big area to run around in with her little dog as well. I also had to add an extra day because my flight was canceled and she was totally accommodating. Great price; great service; great experience. I literally couldn't have been more pleased:)”
“I had a wonderful experience and will recommend Megan to everyone! Kitty said she had a blast and can't wait for me to go on another vacation. If you need a reliable sitter, look no further!”
“Siru was the perfect fit for our little Ollie. We were so anxious to leave him behind on our trip as we had never used a boarder in the past but she put our minds at ease with a friendly meet & greet with her sweet dog Charlie. While we were away she kept us updated and loved on our little pup. We hope to board Ollie with her again one day! Thank you, Siru!”
“Kristen was a god send. Our little guy can be a bit nervous. Kristen was a perfect fit for our pup. Her home is warm and inviting. Her two dogs are well cared for. She kept me updated with pictures throughout our trip. I’m so grateful we found her so we can travel with confidence in our dogs care. We will definitely be using her in the future to watch our pup.”
“Liz and her family did a great job caring for our dog. You can immediately tell that they love animals and your dog is in safe hands with them. I will absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a caring home away from home.”
“I feel so relieved that I have someone like Myrna to leave my dog Shanti with when I go out of town! It’s always a really easy process and I love the photos I get while away. I can tell my dog is cared for and happy whenever I return home. Thank you Myrna! - James & Shanti”
“Yvonne and Sam took such wonderful care of Delilah! They have a lovely home and backyard perfect for sitting and treated her like one of their own. I got lots of updates, pictures, video, and she asked lots of questions to make sure everything went smoothly. Deli is nervous around strangers but warmed up super fast and was clearly having a great time on walks and getting all the snuggles she wanted. It was great having my mind at ease while on vacation!”

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 Saint Joseph home-away-from-home, 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 Saint Joseph.
<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 Saint Joseph 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 , 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 .
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 OR 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.
