“Angela & her family watched my frenchie and labradoodle for 2 nights and send photos and updates throughout their stay. It’s always nice to know that your pups are in such good hands and taken care of! Thank you!”
“Shaun was able to take my dad’s two dogs at a moment’s notice due to health issues. One was extremely old and struggled in the situation, perhaps separation anxiety. We ended deciding to euthanize him upon picking up and felt really bad about putting Shaun in that situation, he is such a kind person and did everything he could to provide comfort and care. I couldn’t have asked for anything more and he went above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Amazing is an understatement! My dog is anxious and doesn't warm up to people easily but he LOVED Conrad. His updates were so nice and let us enjoy our time away knowing our dog was being loved on. Will definitely be using again.”
“Krisanne & Gaston were so great!. We were hesitant to book through Rover again after having a poor experience with a different host. I booked again after luckily stumbling upon Krisanne (an acquaintance from when I was younger). I knew our dog Moose was in good hands as soon as we dropped him off. They sent me picture and updates every day of him playing and out on walks. I felt totally at ease this weekend and was completely confident that he was taken care of and in good hands. Moose came home happy and tired from a fun weekend playing. We will be back!”
“Savana and Carter are amazing! We have used them twice now and would definitely recommend them! They are great with Sully and take him to do such fun stuff! While we are on vacation he is too! They are also great at updating and sending pictures!!”
“Holly and her family took great care of my nervous mini labradoodle. She sent updates and pictures of my pup each day. I could tell she was well loved. I am so glad I found Holly and will definitely use her again!”
“First time using a dog sitter for my pup and Stacy was amazing at putting my mind at ease! She sent multiple pictures and updates on my dog and was also very responsive with my messages. I also appreciated how flexible she was with pick up and drop off. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Tilly seemed to be happy when I picked her up. I received photos of her playing, which was so cute. When I picked her up there was a cute note about her stay, and a bag of dog treats. I would definitely use Shawn S. again”
“Linda is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I have Labrador retrievers that’s two. She has some separation anxiety whenever I leave her over night anywhere. Linda home is welcoming and my dog is always excited when we pull up. She doesn’t panic when we leave her. Linda always sends me picture updates, which is awesome. I know my dog is well taken care of and I will continue to use Linda services for future trips as well. Highly recommended 🤗”
“Argiri was super amazing with my puppy Gibby! She was really good at communicating me and updating me about everything! She is super easy to communicate with and is open to any type of dog!”
“We are so grateful to Chanelle and her wonderful family for taking such amazing care of our dog, Teddy. From the moment we left him with them, we felt completely at ease. They were incredibly kind, loving, and attentive, and treated Teddy like one of their own. We truly appreciated the regular updates and the many photos they shared, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It was clear Teddy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Very pleasant experience, great communication during our dogs’ stay and our dogs were happy and received a lot of attention from the family throughout their stay. Will definitely book again on our next trip”
“Tamee and her family were amazing with our dog Ginger! It was such a relief knowing she was in a loving home and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We got regular updates and could tell Ginger was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Tamee—we’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Amazing experience! I was so not prepared well and they handled everything like true professionals! The kids are so sweet and made the time for the dogs fun and memorable I’m sure!”
“Our puppy was very happy staying here!! Jackelyn really went above and beyond taking care of all his specific needs. I’m sure Sammy would love to stay there again!!”
“Amy is my go to person. I explained my dog had a bad experience at a place we had intended on boarding her at. Amy, came out to meet Stormi before I even got her out of her car seat. When I went to pick her up, of course she was excited to see me but she also turned and gave Amy kisses. Beautiful clean home. She kept us updated through out the stay. I can't say thank you enough.”
“Rebecca is awesome. We have used her several times to watch our Pup. Everytime he comes home happy and in great spirits. You can tell he has been well taken care of. Rebecca is a great communicator and responds quickly to all messages. We needed some adjustments and Rebecca went above and beyond to help us. She has been awesome at sending us updates on our puppy as well as sending pictures so we are not missing him too much. I highly recommend her services.”
“thank you for watching Cookie at the last minute. Sorry about the confusion coming home. I didn't know all of my sons plans and wasn't sure where he was going and when”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Clara
Linda is absolutely amazing. I have a very active little puppy and she was so patient and wonderful with him. He had the best weekend at her house. Throughout the weekend she sent me cute videos and pictures of him. I never worried about him for one second in her care.
This was the second time we had Krisanne and Gaston pet sit Brody. The first time was just an overnight stay to see how he would do and he did fine. This time he stayed a week and when we first dropped him off he seemed excited. Later when he realized that we weren’t there I think he started to get anxious and nervous. He had some accidents but Krisanne and Gaston handled it nicely. They keep me updated that Brody was doing better and sent pictures of him playing and taking daily walks with their dog Kylo. I felt comfortable leaving Brody with Krisanne and Gaston and would highly recommend them.

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 Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara.
<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 Santa Clara 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 UT 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.
