“Shaelea is absolutely wonderful! Loki had the time of his life playing with all his new furry friends at her place. I so appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and videos she sent, it made being away much easier. I'll definitely be recommending her to all the dog parents out there. Thank you so much, Shaelea! :)”
“Evan was great with Bonnie. She was well cared for! He responds very quickly to messages and sends photos throughout the stay. We appreciated that Evan was flexible with us when we made it home early and let us pick up Bonnie very late. He even offered to drive her to us.”
“Samantha is amazing! My 3 year old Cavapoo loves staying at her home. I receive regular updates & photos which is what any pet owner could ask for. Thanks again Samantha!”
“Kayla is great! I never worry when I’m away and if I miss my girl, all I need to do is send a message and she’ll update me and send a photo. Recently my dog had to have temporary dietary changes and meds and Kayla knew just what needed to be done and assured me it was not a problem. I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing”
About: I’m a dog lover and have two corgis of my own who are both very friendly with other dogs and people. I’m used to caring for dogs every day, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles. My dogs are social and welcoming, so your pup will have some friendly company while staying with me. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any special instructions you have! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 5PM. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I have two friendly corgis, Sushi and Boba, who can provide companionship if your pup is comfortable around other dogs. I keep a close eye on all dogs during outdoor time and can crate or separate them when needed. I focus on providing a calm, clean, and safe home environment for your pup.
“Molly is simply the best! My dogs are always happy to go visit and Molly communicates with me throughout the boarding time. I will continue to use Molly and recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!”
“I was very nervous to leave my dog with a pet sitter, but we had a wonderful experience with Scott. Not only did he send frequent updates with pics, but when I reached out with questions, he always responded within a few minutes. He is very knowledgeable about pets and I highly recommend him!”
“Morgan is AMAZING!!!! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in the best care and could tell she truly cared for my dog the same way I would! He came home extra happy and in good spirits. I’m so glad I found such a reliable dog sitter - Morgan is truly the best and I look forward to using her service again!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Scotch Ridge 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 Scotch Ridge 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 Scotch Ridge.
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 Scotch Ridge. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Scotch Ridge 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 IA 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.
