“Angela took such good care of my doggies! She kept me updated on them regularly, and I could tell they were both happy. It was nice to not have to worry about them one bit while I was away! There is no doubt I will use her again. She was awesome!”
“Conrad let my parents dog book a 6 night stay with only 2 hours of notice. He provided daily updates and spent extra time to make sure she would eat her meals since she is a nervous/picky eater. She got lots of play time and enjoyed her stay. We would definitely use Conrad again!”
“Cynthia is the best!! She has watched whitter for us before and takes the best care of him! She is very accommodating and sends updates with photos every day! We trust her to watch whitter and he LOVES her! Thank you for the cute Halloween bow tie and homemade treats!”
“Chanda and Chad were so amazing! They took great care of Millie during 100 degree weather and kept us up to date with pictures and videos of how our pup was doing. Truly great experience while we were hiking in Zion. THANK YOU!”
“Harley truly enjoyed his Rover stay! Chenelle kept me updated with pictures, and every single one warmed my heart. It was such a joy to see Harley having a blast and being so well taken care of. I’m incredibly thankful for Chenelle and her family for treating him like one of their own. 💕”
“I really appreciate MaKayla. She took my dog in on short notice, when a trip came up for me las minute. She was great and easy to work with. She also responded quickly. Ash was a happy dog when I picked her up after her stay. I would recommend MaKayla to everyone.”
“I’ve had a great experience with Jaren! He was very attentive with my dog and stayed in consistent communication with me throughout the entire time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s clear he genuinely cares and takes his responsibility seriously. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“thank you ,Ms Kelly and Shelby! Hiro had the best time. Ms Kelly took care of Hiro and anticipated his needs. Will definitely have Ms Kelly watch Hiro when we are in town!”

“Kevin and Ashley were the best! Our pup came home healthy and happy. They provided photos and updates throughout her stay which was a comfort to me and my kids. We would definitely book them for another stay!”

About: pup is never alone with me! I'm Carolyn, proud mom to Maxx (9-year-old terrier mix), and I bring 9 years of dog-mom experience to every booking: on-time meds, consistent routines, and endless affection. Lots of photo updates included. I currently work from home. I enjoy the companionship a pup gives while I work. So I am always available to care for our furry friends. I try to take a walk outside minimum 3 times a day to get myself moving. Happy to do more if needed. My house is a quiet environment for anxious dogs or outgoing.
“Brittany is a lifesaver! We were camping in Zion and the AC went out in our camper, so our dog was basically on the verge of heat stroke. I contacted her and within a little over an hour, Buster was safe safely at her air conditioned home less than 30 minutes away 🥰 She also sent us pictures and updates. Definitely recommend Brittany and her family!”
“Gizzy seemed happy with their family. She updated us a couple times. This was our first time using Rover. Hard to leave our dog with a stranger, but Melissa answered all our questions and made it easier to leave her.”
About: Our family of six has a houseful of love, and a golden doodle named Brody who’s always excited to meet a new friend. Dogs are a big part of our daily life, and our kids have grown up learning how to be gentle, patient, and responsible around animals. Your dog will have access to our fully fenced, grassy backyard for playtime and potty breaks, plus plenty of attention and cuddles from our family. Someone is home most of the day (I work from home), so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your dog is having. Meet-and-greets with our dog are always welcome before booking, to make sure it’s a great fit. I work from home as a software engineer. I'm always here and have a dog of my own. I don't have a dog door so I let the dogs out as needed during the day. I'm married with 4 kids that love animals and enjoy playing with them. When the children get home they take our dog, and yours out for a walk every day. I have 1 people and pet friendly golden doodle (50 ish lbs). We have fenced backyard with lots of area to roam and grass too. Your dog can chill with me or my dog all day and go out as needed. My dog tends to just sleep most the day while waiting for the kids to get home.
“Bri was very communicative and so knowledgeable about dogs. Our pup warmed up to her quickly and was in great hands for three days. We got pictures and updates regularly and we’d love to have Bri pet sit for us again. She is phenomenal.”
About: Hi there! For years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family while they’re away, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a calm environment. I have plenty of hands-on experience and truly enjoy giving pets attention, care, and consistency while their owners are gone! I do have 3 outdoor cats, but they are separate and will not interfere with your pet’s space, comfort, or routine. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me at church, playing pickleball, reading my Bible, going to the gym, or grabbing an acai bowl! :) I play professional pickleball, so my day is structured around training in short blocks. I train in the morning and again in the afternoon, but I’m home throughout the day to care for pets and provide walks, attention, and consistency. I’m never gone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m available most weekdays and weekends when I’m not traveling for tournaments. I will only accept bookings when I’m fully available to provide proper care and attention! I have a spacious one story home and a backyard where pets can safely spend time outside. One side of the yard is not fully fenced, so I always supervise outdoor time or keep them on their leash. Pets will also get regular walks around my safe, quiet neighborhood for exercise. My home is clean, calm, and set up to make pets feel comfortable and secure!

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.
96% of sitters in Shem 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 Shem 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 Shem.
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 Shem. On Rover:

You and your Shem 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.
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.
