Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Gate
Jasmine was more than accommodating with my dog Yumi and was extremely flexible. I had a 5 hour delay on my return flight and Jasmine remained professional and attentive to my dog Yumi and accommodated my unfortunate circumstances. If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter whose also flexible look no further than Jasmine.
Elizabeth was wonderful with our pups Penny and Reggie, and she was great with communicating to us how their days went and how they were settling in, etc. She also sent tons of pictures and you can tell from the pictures that the puppers were having the times of their little lives! We’ll definitely be repeat visitors!!
Finn now has 2 new human friends and 2 new dog friends! Tanya and John were WONDERFUL to Finn and kept us updated daily with detailed notes and videos. It is so comforting to know that Finn is being well taken care of (and having a good time) when we are away. Highly recommend.
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Kodak and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures, and he looked so happy in every one! He also got along wonderfully with her family, which made us feel even more at ease. Her communication was great throughout his stay, and we were extremely pleased with the care she gave him. We would absolutely trust her with Kodak again and highly recommend her!
Wish I could give Amy 10 stars!! She cared for Luna like we were family, including family pics and updates and being so truly sincerely kind and caring. I can’t possibly imagine a more ideal caretaker for your beloved pet. So thankful for Amy - and her own cute pup who was a wonderful playmate to my own pup!
James is always wonderful with my girls! He is easy to work with, offers super convenient extras like pick up and drop off, and treats them like family. I appreciate the thorough and excellent communication as well as the amazing photos he sends while they are in his care. They are not the easiest dogs, but he acts like they are and they love him. I never worry when I know James is taking care of them.
Lanese was absolutely amazing. She was responsive, flexible, and kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me real peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and she made it such a great experience. She took great care of Bluchi making sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures too. Lanese is truly a beautiful person and already feels like family. I would definitely book with her again. Five stars all around highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 South Gate 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 South Gate 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 South Gate.
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 South Gate. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 South Gate 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 MD 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.
