“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”

About: Hello! I have experience with generally small/medium dogs. I grew up and cared for my lil yorkshire terrier, named Tommy throughout most of my youth. He received all the snuggles, belly rubs, yard play, and walks! Enjoying his best life with loved ones.. Once he passed, I have always wanted to keel fur ones around with how much joy they brought into my life! Rover was the best match for my current lifestyle. I recently moved into a new townhome and traveling every so often, I did not want to commit with my own fur baby just yet. This app allows me to love and care for pets as my own but without the long term commitment. Please know your pet will be loved as if it was my own and will be given all the snuggles and attention. With flexible availability, I hope to make your pet at home when you're not able to be there! I work from home Monday-Friday, so will be available to take out your pet throughout the day for potty breaks that works with their normal routine. I am able to take them out for longer walks during my lunch time, and also after work. You can trust that I will give your pet all the love and attention as if it was my own. Play toys, give them treats (if allowed), bring them on walks! I do live in a townhome, but am available at home everyday and will be able to take them out frequently.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with loving and caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I’m not trying to make your pet fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around theirs. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level, and I want them to feel safe and relaxed while they’re away from home. Your pet will be cared for in our home, with a large fenced-in yard, plenty of attention, and a family who genuinely loves animals. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, feeding instructions, medications, crating, or other care preferences you have for your pet. I think one of the biggest things I offer is peace of mind. I’ll treat your pet like a guest in our home, not just another booking. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks. My goal is to make sure your pet receives consistent care and attention while you’re away. When your pets stay with me, they’re not just being boarded, they’re staying in our home and becoming part of the family while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and get plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions, schedule, and any special needs to make their stay as easy and familiar as possible. We have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside and enjoy some playtime and fresh air. I also have teenagers who absolutely love animals, so your pets will have plenty of extra attention and affection (if they’re interested in it, of course! 😂). I also have a gated kitchen area that can be used if you prefer your dog to be safely contained while we’re away. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d rather they be crated when we leave, I’m happy to follow that routine as well. Your pet’s comfort and your preferences come first. I know leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in a safe, loving home. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of love, patience, attention, and care. 🐶🐱❤️

About: Calm, assertive energy. We’ve fostered and placed several shepherds from the animal shelter into better homes. All of our dogs that my wife wanted led us to a great pet trainer back in 2015. We went to weekly classes and learned to handle our German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois . We focus on the basics and good manners. I am retired working as System Engineering consultant part time. We spend some time in Illinois and some in New Mexico. We have freedom to interact with your pet as needed. We have fenced yard and enclosed porch with pet door. Also have separate 8 ft x 12 ft dog kennel if needed. We have various sized crates if animals need their own space.

About: I have fostered for 8 years now off and on- dogs and cats. I love getting to know each new animal's personality and what works for them! I work full time during the week but am home on the weekends while my partner is gone on the weekends and home two days during the week. I have a fully fenced backyard for potty time and to enjoy some sun. My home's main floor is baby gated to give everyone time away from each other if they need a break or just some one on one time!

About: I have always loved dogs and cats! I am happy to peek in on your fur babies while you need to be away. Will provide whatever care is necessary. Years of experience! Accommodating, caring and reliable. I will treat your pet just as you would, like family! Whether a walk outside to potty or a quick run around the fenced yard, I will provide you and your pet with outstanding service with attention to detail. Cat care is also available. I will provide service locally. I will always clean up/pick up after your pup. I enjoy snuggling the cats and dogs. I spent 34 years caring for young children so I come well equipped with patience, understanding and compassion. Book a sitting with me today for an excellent, safety conscious visit for your sweet fur baby! I work during the week so this leaves me open to schedule sittings on Friday and weekends.I can come to you or well behaved dogs are welcome in my home on weekends. My schedule can be flexible. Generally Friday- Sunday evening but flexible. I care for the fur babies in the manner they are accustomed to. This keeps everyone happy. I try to do whatever the pup is used to.

About: I’ve looked after all types of animals and have grown up around just about everything — dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, reptiles, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m the type of person who will talk to your pets like they’re people, send you way too many cute photo updates, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just having a calm and reliable person around, I’m happy to match their vibe. I currently have a cat named Louie who is spoiled in the best way possible. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. Whether you need a quick drop-in, walks, or care while you’re out of town, I’d love to help! I currently work full time. During the week, I can come by in the morning, over lunch, and at night. On the weekends, I can come by at any time. I live in an apartment downtown Napa. Your pet(s) can stay at my place or I can come to your place - whichever you/they prefer.

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 Shaffton 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 Shaffton.

<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 Shaffton 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 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.
