“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“John and Tawna took very good care of my Labrador Louie for 5 days. They have a very nice, large secured facility. John was kind to meet with us ahead of time to make sure he was a good fit. Louie had lots of fun and i had no concerns during our trip!”
“I contacted Suzanne the day before I needed to have my Murphy stay with her for the weekend. I was relieved when she said she had room for him, and she also told me that another dog that Murphy enjoys playing would be happy to see him. Needless to say, Murphy slept most of the day he came home with all the fun he had with his buddy.”
“Manisha is absolutely one of a kind - she was a fabulous sitter and I will happily be going back! I got a ton of pictures and videos and my dog was one happy and joyful pup when I got back. Manisha and her daughters even sent home Cicero with a new doggie toy and a handwritten card. What a sweet and wonderful experience. Thank you, Manisha!”
“One of my dogs had to go to the vet and was put on several medications the day before we left. Ron had no problem caring for him and making sure he received his medicine. He also kept me updated on how he was doing. Everything went great and the dogs came back happy and well cared for.”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Chaun was a great communicator for the meet and greet and the entire visit during the weekend! Our pup had some tummy issues and she was super on top of it and letting us know what’s going on. I also loved all the pictures and videos of him playing with all the other dogs and kitten she had visiting. Thank you so much for taking great care of Wrigley!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”
“Katie was kind, responsive and most importantly, flexible as I am learning that no matter how much I try to predict things, I need support that understands plans change! Communication was so easy and I feel like she tuned into the way Jasper communicated and plays easily and immediately! He will be coming back to hang with his new bffs for sure!”
“Siru and her husband were amazing hosts to our pup! We knew we were leaving our fur baby in good hands after our initial meet & greet. Seeing how attentive and professional she was regarding the boarding process sealed the deal. Clean and comfortable home, flexible pick up times when we had unplanned travel problems, and most importantly they loved our pup like their own! Thanks again, Siru!”
“Liz was great! She was so kind and easy to work with, and you can tell she really loves dogs. She has three dogs of her own, so she's definitely experienced and knows how to handle different personalities. She kept me updated throughout my dogs's stay with photos and messages, which made me feel super comfortable while I was away. I could tell my dog was in good hands and was so thankful for the peace of mind. If you're looking for a sitter who's reliable, sweet and great with dogs, I'd definitely recommend Liz!”
“Roxanne really cares about the dogs she takes in. On short notice Roxanne was great about doing some test visits of doggy daycare, and an overnight before taking on an extended stay. Roxanne is on top of providing updates and pictures of our dog while we were out of town. I would definitely work with Roxanne again!”
“I left Gretel with Jean for the second time and she had a great time. Jean is very capable and reliable. She always answers my texts and keeps me updated with photos if my girl. Gretel came home happily tired. I recommend Jean! ”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.

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.
94% of sitters in Saint Joseph 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 Saint Joseph 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 Saint Joseph.
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 Saint Joseph. On Rover:

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 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 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 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.
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.
