“Ali was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pup with a dog sitter on rover, and Ali helped ease my worries. She kept me updated on my pup and sent lots of photos. She was also very sweet and understanding about my dog’s quirks (aka her barking). Would definitely recommend to others who need their dog watched for a few days! I look forward to taking my pup back to Ali’s whenever I have to go out of town!”
“Windsor just came back from a week stay with Tiffany and Soriya and must have had the best time, He’s done nothing but sleep all day! He always comes home tired so that tells me he enjoys his stay with them!”
“Kyle was amazing with our pups! I received updates, pics, and videos several times a day. My babies came back to me happy to see me, along with being relaxed and loved. Highly recommend.”
“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”
“Left my 3 dogs with him and can say It went great! I got daily updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, I would definitely board again! Thank you So Much, Nathan!”
“Steve was an exceptionally good dog sitter for our two dogs. They had never spent overnights with a different person, so we were not sure how it would go, but Steve was really good with them. He sent us texts and pictures more than once a day to reassure us they were in good shape. He was kind and friendly with them, going above and beyond to care for them. We highly recommend Steve and will certainly seek him out for future sittings.”
“Shannon and her family were so amazing with our pups! We got daily updates with pictures of them enjoying their time away from home. Definitely would recommend for anyone and will return the next time we someone to watch our pups!”
“They took wonderful care of my new puppy and senior dog that is fearful of storms. My senior dog was given meds as instructed and I was told DL stayed up with him til midnight to comfort him during the storms. I so loved the pictures they sent.”
“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”
“Adela was great! She set pictures and gave us updates on Bella daily! She met with us in advance and had Bella meet her two dogs! Bella had a great time! We will definitely book with Adela again!”
“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”
“Shawna and Hannah were wonderful sitters for our dog. They kept her entertained and she made herself right at home with them. She loved it so much she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up! Will definitely be booking with them again, and would recommend them to anyone looking for communicative and reliable sitters.”
“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”
“Caitlin (and John) were great! Norm had multiple walks/day and she sent pics and videos of him playing and hanging out with the family throughout his stay. They were very accommodating with drop off and pickup times.”
“Sana bonded with Caleb immediately! She took Caleb on 2-3 walks daily,and always made sure he had is treats!! Even took him to get a pup cup!! Sana gave us daily texts and pictures of Caleb. Sana went well above and beyond in care of Caleb, will definitely use her again!”
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”
“My dogs loved hanging with Emily while we were on vacation! I really appreciated seeing all of the pictures she sent us of the dogs having fun. She was very caring to my senior dog who is nearly blind and deaf. Thanks so much Emily!”
“Sky loved having a backyard for the weekend with Emily! I loved being able to see her have fun for the weekend with videos and pictures. Super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times which was much appreciated!!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Walford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Walford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walford 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 Walford.
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.
You and your Walford 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 IA 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.
