I think Bentley had a blast! Thanks so much Shantal and Kala! We look forward to having Bentley stay with you again!”

“5 Stars for Tatum. I could tell that our pup Stompy was in good hands because his tail was wagging furiously when first meeting Tatum and her partner. We were sent some fun photos of Stompy playing and relaxing at a local Dog Beach and learned that he was comfortable enough to get into the water which is a first for our dog who has always had a water phobia. We returned to find a very happy dog. I highly recommend Tatum. She is a dog whisperer!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Templeton
Marissa and her family were great! They have a nice property for dogs and our dog was immediately comfortable there with them. It was the first time that we’ve left our puppy with strangers and we were so happy with Marissa’s services! We got good vibes from the get go and Marissa sent updates with photos and videos, so we could see that our pup was totally happy. She has som much fun playing with her little dog, Bailey, and Kahlua was a sweetie. She wasn’t as interested in playing but she’s an easy going dog. We were nervous to leave our 5 mos. old puppy but had tickets to a music festival that we purchased long before we adopted our pup and it worked out really well. We had peace of mind and Marissa was exactly as her profile described. Our dog was happy and had no issues. Thankfully, our pup fit right in and behaved well (at least she said she did) but we could tell Marissa was chill and would be able to handle our puppy regardless. Definitely highly recommend Marissa and will use her again if we go up north again.
Rachel was fabulous! She kept me updated with Molly's activities and shared lots of pictures. It was obvious that Molly's was very happy and well-cared for there. She had Rachel's children to play with as well as her dog. I was a bit anxious because this was the first time we boarded Molly, but it turned out far better than expected. I will definitely use her services again! So happy!

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 Templeton 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 Templeton.
<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 Templeton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.
