“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my pet care commitments carefully. I have three days off each week, and I can often arrange extended time off for bookings that require extra attention. On workdays, I make sure pets receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need before and after my shifts, and I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they receive individualized care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Here’s a warm, genuine 5-star review you can use: Hanna took amazing care of my dog while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was loved, well cared for, and happy the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Hanna”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering routine medications, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both easygoing dogs and dogs who are more anxious and need extra patience and reassurance. As a lifelong pet owner and registered nurse, I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m new to Rover, so while I may not have reviews here yet, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’m looking forward to getting to know local families, building trust within our community, and becoming someone you can feel completely comfortable calling when your pets need care. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat yours with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m home much of the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and give your pets plenty of attention rather than squeezing visits into a busy workday. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I can crate dogs if needed and will always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also comfortable dropping in for pets in their own home, where I’ll respect your space and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care.
About: I have hands-on experience working in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve also been boarding dogs in my own home for years, where they’re treated like part of the family. Most of my bookings have come through my Facebook business page, and I’m now joining Rover to connect with more clients and their pups! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, caring for senior and high-energy dogs, and managing multiple dogs safely. I love sending owners photo updates so they can relax knowing their pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I have plenty of time throughout the day for attention, playtime, and regular outdoor potty breaks. We have a very large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for play, exploring, and sniffing. Our neighborhood also has a private lake with a walking trail, so if your dog enjoys walks, we can work those into their stay too! Our days include a mix of activity and cozy downtime indoors. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, potty, and bedtime schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers to curl up nearby, I can adjust our routine to their needs. I also send daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is spending their time with us! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and explore. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves at home. I have professional daycare and boarding experience, along with a long list of regular clients outside of Rover who trust me with their dogs. I always follow each owner’s feeding, medication, crate, and routine instructions and send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.
“Anniyah kept PePe for seven and she was great. She sent daily updates along with videos which helped with MY separation anxiety (lol). I was so happy to see PePe when I picked him up because Anniyah actually had him walking with his leash, which was something I had not been able to accomplish. So, would I rebook Anniyah again, most definitely!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
94% of sitters in Shanghai 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 Shanghai 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 Shanghai.
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 Shanghai. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Shanghai 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 AL 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.
