About: I offer dedicated, full-time pet care right inside my own home, specializing in both overnight boarding and daytime daycare. I have over 7 years of deep, hands-on experience managing high-energy and large working breeds, including owning three Siberian Huskies and caring for German Shepherds. Because of my history with my own dogs, I am deeply experienced in senior care, handling mobility issues, and accurately administering daily medications. I am equally experienced and gentle with small or delicate breeds, having regularly looked after Bichon Frises, Dachshunds, and teacup Yorkies. When your pet is dropped off with me, they become part of the family. My experience allows me to expertly read animal body language and seamlessly tailor my home environment to your dog's specific medical, physical, or behavioral routine. I am home and available 24/7 to focus entirely on the pets boarding with me, making my schedule exceptionally flexible for client drop-offs and pick-ups. Because I keep my schedule open to provide maximum attention to my guests, I ask that all pet parents message me to confirm details before finalizing a booking. This quick check ensures I can properly plan our day and dedicate my undivided attention to your pet's stay! Your pet's safety is my absolute top priority while they are staying in my home. We live on a beautiful, quiet 2.2-acre private property with plenty of peaceful space. Because the property is open and unfenced, I maintain a strict 100% leash-only policy for all outdoor potty breaks, sniff sessions, and walks. Dogs are never left unattended outside for even a second. Inside, I maintain a calm, secure, doors-locked environment and can easily crate your dog if they prefer it for meals or bedtime. My home is a predictable, stress-free space designed to keep your pet secure from drop-off to pick-up.

“Emily and Derek took great care of my baby. She had never stayed away from home and was timid and frightened and they were very understanding and accommodating for her. Thanks you two”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and my friends family and neighbors all ask me to care for their fur babies I work part time but I still have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies and when I go to work I’ll either leave them out or put them up (depending on what the owner would like) I I understand that every animal is different and have different needs so I take care of them all differently whatever the owner says do I do like one I might have to walk every hour while the other I have to walk every 2 hours or feed one once a day and the other twice a day

Kayla did an excellent job of watching over my Maggie. Her son also helped to keep my energetic dog happy. Maggie seemed to enjoy her stay with Kayla!

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 Stringer 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 Stringer 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 Stringer.

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 Stringer. On Rover:

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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 Stringer 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 MS 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.
